called round timber, raw timber now in the summer of 2021, the entrepreneur is trying to send it abroad as much as possible . around irkutsk, there are 35 such dead ends everywhere. giant logs are sawn to four or six meters in length, then stacked, sorted and loaded wagons, and especially valuable species, for example, cedar, into containers. after that, entrepreneurs declare the goods to the customs authorities. it is clear that with such volumes it is simply impossible to control everything, your employees inspect not 100% of the weight of the goods, that goes through the arts. no, of course it's impossible, physically, physically. we can not watch it. uh, on average, about 55 vehicles a day. these are this year's containers specifically with roundwood timber. how are intruders who are trying to

provide false information identified? employees of the irkutsk post actively use the so -called customs surveillance. a representative of the department can be present during the loading of goods, recalculate it and even record it. what is happening on the video is possible observation of the visible part, we assume that it is possible, a violation of customs rules is, first of all, the volume of the declared forest about the declaration, let's say 80 cubic meters of larch is declared, in fact we see that 82 cubic meters remained large in general on average, and per cubic meter, uh, let 's say rough squared products. e, fine e is about 10,000 rubles today. for one year. what amounts are entrepreneurs sending trains of 100 wagons trying to hide from customs, and what

are they risking? if an employee of the department violates notices, then a customs inspection procedure is assigned, a long and painstaking one of these events we visited. this inspection was appointed based on the results of the customs observation, and as a result of which an official of the irkutsk customs post. a-a, it was established that the information declared about did not correspond with the material actually loaded with timber, and in the car, that is, only a bar was declared, and in fact there was also a roughly edged bar saw products, which, from january 2022, will be banned for export from the russian federation here in this case,

what threatens the entrepreneur, but either an administrative fine or criminal liability. today it is no longer possible to reach an agreement with the customs regarding the forest ; my eyes offer me a bribe. no, this never happened. after the liquidation of the bank of black lumberjacks in the irkutsk region, the role of the customs authorities has seriously increased; now it depends only on them. how much income will the state receive from sales of russian timber abroad at the end of the twentieth year by employees of a piece of customs, perhaps 32 criminal cases for the prevented export of e-forest in the amount of more than a billion rubles abroad. for the first half of 2021. uh,

the customs authorities of siberia may have 52 criminal cases related to the illegal movement of timber or material. well, as for the problem was for the forests in siberia, i can say that the main problem regions are the irkutsk region, the krasnoyarsk territory, the tomsk region for the first half of the year. we sat down export, uh, woods and woods material for practically a 160 million rubles. and the total amount of illegally exported timber, but fixed in the amount of 476 million rubles. and this is the moscow region, of course, one cannot compare the local forests with the siberian taiga, but even here, hundreds of kilometers from

the capital, large-scale forest wars unfolded. residents of the russian region turned to our editorial office and said that unknown people were brazenly stealing the forest, we went to the place of events in the village of nikolskoye defenders of nature. they vied with each other to tell us about the emergency. we accidentally saw that we had uh trucks passing by, these timber trucks and then they found out that inside the forest. uh, cut down illegally. we called the police on every car. we stopped, we staged pickets every day, that is, during the day. we even left on duty. the police came and checked with them. the documents are all right, as they said, the car was released. here we

will drink anyway, in any way, when the first cars were not allowed. she stood here for a long time. so they understood that we would stand. they stood, if carried, but there in the clearing. we decided to see what was happening in the forest to accompany we were called in by a local activist. ivan popov walked about a kilometer. the road is narrow and meanders, but apparently trucks have been walking along it quite recently in the pits , slabs are neatly laid so that multi-ton vehicles do not get stuck in the mud. finally, we got to the place, cutting down heavy equipment on the site is no longer commercial wood. managed to get on the ground. only a few dozen trunks remained, and then the most interesting thing turned out. turns out. according to the documents, we are not in the forest at all according to the documents. we

see here according to the documents of the field earth values, but in fact, we see here a centuries-old forest, which is 70,100 and even maybe the police of the russian region, who came on the call of citizens, were guided by the same documents, then everything falls into place in the field of a centuries-old forest , accordingly, there is nothing to cut. so, there was no relationship. we are going to the village, brynkovo, on the outskirts, the sawmill is in full swing and the wood is neatly stacked day and night. only now the workers of this forest enterprise turned out to be extremely shy at the sight of the camera of the tv channel russia, they immediately stop working, turn off the light and run up. who goes where, and

why are you running away? light turned off. you just worked. why are you running away? hello , we actually bought a forest in ourselves, but you have no owner’s documents, i have a question. we go

further, it turns out that there are many such sawmills in the small russian region of the moscow region . this luninka village, copses work change house, voices are audible, representatives of the forest mafia probably spend the night here, we come closer and try to start a conversation. hello, good evening.

this is our earth, this is our fox, and we did not give them to anyone. we will stand within the law and fight for it. let's return to the krasnoyarsk territory, let us remind you that the local policemen uncovered a cunning and intricate scheme of theft, forest dealers, using forged documents, harvested wood, supposedly for the needs of citizens, but in reality they simply sold and stuffed their own pockets with money, and this criminal community was led by a former official from the small siberian of the city of kansk andrey sotnikov in 2016 worked as an administration

kansky district in the area of ​​street relations and , by virtue of its activities, had access to bases, including the base of the cadastral chamber. accordingly, after his dismissal, he had the opportunity to view the cadastral numbers of the forest plots he needed, according to the investigation, sotnikov made a fake seal and stamped the necessary documents for subsequent transfer to the forestries. moreover, each contract was drawn up on behalf of a specific resident of the area, for this, the centurion each time required different data numbers in the passport snils information from the tax service. also , papers confirming that a citizen has a land plot. former official. he recruited his old acquaintances, local entrepreneurs gennady obukhov and alexandra ivanov, to work. they were looking for people who were ready to provide their data for a scam

for a small premium ; after that, sotnikov collected documents and their manufacturer already in the amount of 50,000 rubles. that is, the cost of one package reached 100.000 rub. such packages of documents, according to the investigation sotnikov obukhov ivanov, concocted several hundred hands went to the territory of seven districts of the krasnoyarsk territory, and the damage to the country's forest fund, according to preliminary estimates, amounted to 140 million rubles. taking into account the presented materials of operational-search activities, the scale of the disaster. yes, we see that seven districts of the eastern group of the krasnoyarsk territory are involved. uh, the number of participants. uh, more than 15 people have been identified to date. we have decided to initiate a criminal case under article

250 criminal code of the organization of a criminal community and participation in it arrests followed immediately behind bars turned out to be andrey sotnikov, according to the investigation, the organizers of the press according to the community, two of his henchmen gennady obukhov and alexander ivanov and several loggers, including stepan koshev, documented for quite a long time established illegal lumberjacks identified individuals who made fake documents and identified officials who, in fact, for a certain star turned a blind eye more than 40 basques were carried out at the same time, a large amount of money was seized from illegally cut wood. technicians, in order to understand this difficult matter as accurately as possible, we met with all the arrested members of the group, we started with the forest of the harvester stepan koshev, his

brigade worked on the territory of the icelandic region, people there also turn to me, well, to prepare in the summer to cut beer, the material immediately, as it were, well, so that people want to build, not all people have the desire to build, but not everyone has. as if, well, to cut a new one into this forest. it was as if i, well, rendered, well, people such services, as if stepan koshev tried in every possible way to convince us that he had not committed anything illegal, but in the end he admitted that he was well acquainted with gennady cloudy and even received money from him. he contacted me. here i have people who have permission to build there, but they don’t need to make preparations for others, no matter how uh, they need money. i say, well, all right, and now they gave me the forest. i am these people. through him i gave the money there in

the case it is written. how much money i handed over 50,000 arithmetic is not difficult, even if we take the minimum cost of a cube of wood 3,000 rubles. it turns out that from each contract for the harvesting of 150 cubic meters of wood. at obukhov , more than 300,000 came out clean. the next character in the forest story is businessman gennady obukhov. he completely denies any attitude to fox-cutters and says that he dealt only with papers, according to obukhov, from each transaction. he received only 28 thousand rubles did not count. i see well, okay, if the chair also at 28, it turns out quite well. yes, i don’t

know, they won’t multiply, and finally, the main character of the criminal community, andrei sotnikov, he is the president of the federation himself in the city of kansk, a master of sports, a multiple champion of russia, says that his whole life was connected with sports. and now he trains the kids, he told about his native city, kansk, a very long city, the kids, that is, he wanted to. uh, we have a teacher training college. in the same way, i myself wanted to help arrange the guys for the girls to study, and i had a dream for them to study. i i wanted to build a gym, but unfortunately it happened. this is a misunderstanding sotnikov considers it a misunderstanding that he ended up in a pre-trial detention center, they say. which one is the leader of the criminal community? after all, all his free time, he allegedly kite is a stranger to sports and children. by education, i will say more

even i graduated from the institute. well, not with honors, of course, i passed the state exams. excellent. yes, i defended criminal law under article 159. i defended my diploma with dignity. well , exactly. well, maybe. yes sotnikov changed many places of work once he headed a collection agency, then a local business support fund, and then got a job in the administration. kanska is now willingly commenting on his current position. do you think. yes, of course, i'm not guilty of absolutely nothing. absolutely right, no paper at all. here is the lease agreement and building permit. i won’t tell you the exact time, because i don’t remember, to be honest, when i did the first thing,

why in order to earn at least a little money and develop sports. well, radikan to his district, of course, no one argues with the fact that the former official at his own expense sent kids to competitions, bought them a uniform and paid for treatment. but the question is where do these funds come from? how much money settled in the pockets of sotnikov himself is yet to be clarified . the investigation shows with certainty one can say one frigate similar to the one led by stepankov. andrey sotnikov had dozens in the krasnoyarsk territory of an authoritative athlete , many knew and were afraid, at least those loggers who escaped criminal persecution, and sotnikovo agrees to speak only with a closed face. how often only the necessities came to an end, it

was necessary to speak, but it was not such that right there the frequency was some kind of frequent or something else you bought documents. at sotnikov how much did the package of documents cost so that your brigade could work in the forest absolutely 40.000 the investigation of the criminal case on the organized criminal community, which, according to the police, was led by the former official, lawyer and sportsman andrei sotnikov, is in full swing, at present, we have already attracted, in addition to, and three persons, another 11 persons, the responsibility of procurers who carried out illegal fish in the places of forty-fifty. measures are not enough to solve all the problems of the

russian forest, of course, the order that has now been established is extremely important, but the role of those people who will have to restore the plundered forest expanses of our country is no less important. they must be experts in their field. these are now being prepared for the example of the st. petersburg state forestry university the oldest russian educational institution where forest problems are studied. the department issues orders for different years from 15 to say. maybe thirty is all levels of bachelors and masters and, uh, today there is a demand for specialists. uh, both in the forestry and in other

organizations associated with the forest, these are either suustroitel enterprises and forest protection centers that monitor the condition of forests. scientists know that the restoration of the russian forest is a long and very costly business, but this must be done for future generations. it takes, as a rule, well, from 60 to 100 years the new generation of the forest, that is, the arborist who is planting fruits today. yes, when this young eater grows up, his fortune has managed. he probably won't see it. it will already be his, maybe the children and grandchildren will finish this work. the problem of the forest is also relevant today in those regions of the country that were considered non-forest only yesterday. here, for example, the kaliningrad region in terms of forests is siberia and it has nothing to compare not the forest region. we are not siberia and where there is a large amount of forest. we have russian is about 12-13% and all

forests are protective. there are no solid circles here. here there is no so-called industrial e to try, each cube. eh, oak. birches, aspen pines go into some kind of products that are exported. here the calculation is taken away, whether the calculation of the neighbor is collected almost completely. well , probably 95 percent. this is probably why modern high-tech enterprises appear here outside the forest of the kaliningrad region, which create unique wood products. we went to one of these productions of the baltic forest company back in 2018, there was an abandoned industrial zone here. now the shop is unrecognizable at the enterprise with more than 200 people, decent

wages. all accounting white products are made from oak, birch, aspen and linden , a serious task is not just to sell raw materials, but to introduce deep processing . products go to the european union, where there is very high competition and quality requirements. the idea of ​​processing at this enterprise is the processing of all wood, good, bad wood, all is processed illegally, and they are produced legally. blanks. we don't have it, we don't even think about it in our heads. we understand that it is impossible to develop and thinking about illegality. got government support. this is a completely new drying complex, which we put into operation. uh, just a month ago. this is an example of partnership with the state. 50% of this drying complex was financed through the vostok program and 50%

we invested our own funds. it 's happening wood drying cycle is big 100 days remotely we're looking at the program how it works one by one quality. it also restores forests so as not to leave behind only stumps. every year , specialists plant new trees on 143 hectares of land. yes, the photos taken from space will be visible for many years to come, the damage caused by bandits and pests in the far east and siberia, but work to restore forest resources is already underway in the russian government, they expect to reach such a balance in 2024 instead of every cut down or burned

time forest fire tree will be planted new. indeed, well, somehow it became more decently, it seems to say so, they stopped chopping everything so impudently there, it seems they stopped in a completely barbaric way. it's all from here without any taxes. uh, take out the round timber. wherever there is china, japan or somewhere else, it is almost impossible to turn back, even at the end of the tunnel. here, in the form of light, there will be just a solution to these issues, related in particular. in this case, with timber smuggling, this process is irreversible.

the flag of honor is now hardly anyone who works. this is how we saw the lesnoy problem industries. this was our investigation from different regions of the country, russia 24.
