hello kirill vyshinsky, and this is a typical novorossiya program, our name says it all, we are talking about the territory that has returned to its historical roots . he novorossia with the help of a careful look at history. we will try to reveal the originality of her present day, find in it typical features and recognizable signs of the past. and that's what we'll talk about today. without water, like the soviet water conduits became a means of pressure on novorossiya. how to deal with water blackmail conversation with an expert of the war program through the eyes of those who live on it documentary films about donbass at the rt tv channel festival time of heroes? novorossia is predominantly a steppe

region with limited water resources , dry and hot climate at the beginning of the development of these territories in the 18th-19th centuries , land cultivation technologies were aimed at maximizing the preservation of moisture in local black soil in the 20th century. in soviet times. irrigation systems were actively built here and channels for transferring water from russia to the dnieper and tributaries of the don to provide water to the donetsk region, in which there are no large rivers. in the fifties of the last century , the seversky donetsk canal of donbass was built into the water along it from the donat tributary, calcium was pumped by a system of powerful pumps. the length of this unique hydraulic structure, 133 km , was built in the 1960s to save the regions of the kherson region and crimea from drought. water was taken from a specially built

kakhovka reservoir in the lower reaches thanks to this , moisture-loving rice was grown in the north of crimea until 2013. the channel provided the peninsula. about 80% of the volume of water intake, the vulnerable position of the region. in novorossiya. after their self-determination in 2014, the ukrainian authorities took advantage of attacks on infrastructure created back in soviet times to inflict maximum damage barbaric methods of water blockade became a new type of weapon in april 2014 , the water supply from the dnieper to the crimean peninsula was blocked , the canal bed was covered with sandbags as a result

the agriculture of the northern crimea was seriously damaged, despite everything, according to alternative water supply in 2021, during a long-term drought, the shortage was already felt on the entire peninsula, water began to be given according to a strict schedule only after the start of water supply and the liberation of the territory through which the canal passed, it was filled with water the construction of the seversky canal donetsk donbass was badly damaged during the fighting in the fourteenth year, but water still flowed through it at the beginning of its canal, which originates in controlled ukraine slavyansk was purposefully de-energized, the pumping stations supplying hot water were out of order. in donetsk , cold water was stopped almost immediately, and began to be dosed, and according to the schedule, once every three days for 2-3 hours , water carriers were launched around the city. a stable water supply to the population remained personally insignificant territory. dnr where it is. underground

sources partially solved the problem of water supply to the donbass due to the construction of water. a new hydraulic structure was laid across the territory of the rostov region and the donetsk people's republic about how water came to donetsk from the house in the plot of efimova openly fill the system accepted, including the pump. just a couple of commands, by pressing a radio button on the control panel , hundreds of cubic meters of water flowed from the don river and were pumped into huge tanks that had been empty before. by the beginning of the test launch of the water conduit from the rostov region to the donbass, the painstaking, but constructional standards, was preceded by the rapid work of the shock construction of the new century. back in mid- february. there were metal frames. today, a full-fledged pontoon water intake

station is launched, the first of the pumping stations has beaten the heart of the conduit, rostov-on-don. seversky donetsk donbass is ahead of gradual filling of storage tanks with water hydraulic tests, of course, while this is a technical test launch, specialists will have to assess whether everything is in order with the equipment and the annual route itself. but it's 200 km/h. the pressure will be specially applied to excess in order to find out all the vulnerabilities, for example, in place with a brand of seams, donbass is almost 300,000 cubic meters in day from the rostov region, water will sow to the donbass through two duplicate water lines. the don is fed by a dry canal seversky donets was built in the soviet years specifically for the water supply of donbass. from the neighboring dnieper , ukraine blocked it immediately after it lost it, mariupol, like in donetsk , is now in an extremely difficult situation with water. and mariupol now receives water exclusively from e, the kalchikovsky

reservoir, which is located next to the city of e, but before it was a reserve source of water supply, mariupol and even in in august, it was said that the water in this reservoir would be enough for about a year and the conditions for its rational use of a water conduit from the house became unprecedented for russian projects, for the first time it is being built in such a short time for objects of such complexity, as a rule, it takes several years in this entire russian construction hundreds of enterprises from all over the country are involved. and, of course, in the donbas itself, only the khartsyzsk plant, for example, produced 30 km of pipes for the water conduit. well, the alchevsk metallurgical plant supplied steel sheets. from the thickness of the metal we regulate the wind speed. the order for production at this plant was received at the end of november and within a month.

more than 45.000 t ahead of schedule, it was completed in the production of large diameter pipes. also for water supply networks, and for gas pipelines of oil pipelines the whole team. uh is ready to work for a common cause, ready to raise production to increase production of problem products. donetsk region, not by hearsay familiar to crimea in 2014 , the peninsula also turned out to be an introductory blockade after the blocking of ukraine in the north crimean channel. viktor tarasenko, honorary president of the crimean academy of sciences, an internationally renowned ecologist, believes that the construction of water conduits is a modern and more relevant reading of old approaches, when man-made rivers were laid at the cost of incredible efforts, the efficiency of channels similar to the crimean north, taking into account terminal changes. according to the scientist every year. everything is lower, it’s not like spoonfuls of the channel, as everyone did the ira crimean canal at one time, and then

they suffered. uh, with this one, we're laying down with lossy films with leaks and so on. here with evaporation, when we lose half of the water supplied, which goes into the lower horizons of the earth's crust, and so on, causing flooding, swamping, and so on. here, it is the most reasonable rational to lay these water conduits and give this water to yukh earlier in the donbass several smaller water conduits have already been launched, for example, the chernovsky water conduit under the debaltse to the volnovakhi rovenky and dokuchaevsk facilities, as well as the line from the khanzhonkovsky reservoir, the seversky donetsk canal, however, the pipes must still withstand the water supply in houses. they are in the majority its rotten. water there is no more than 25%, then these are very optimistically optimistic figures, taking into account the waterfall that we have and which reach almost sixty percent of individual sections, and often this is in fact, the construction of new networks is one of the most important tasks for the entire

donbass last year we have more than 250 related objects. uh, with the water supply system modernized repaired restored for this year. we have the same serious tasks for more than 300 km of networks. we must restore more than 100 areal objects should be done on average for almost a million donetsk now account for the order. water per day for comparison, until 2021, this figure reached 300,000 cubic meters, while water for people is diluted in tanks, or served on a strict schedule, but even then, residents still have to carry buckets to the upper floors, water. it simply does not rise in the city of donetsk now, and is in the service of our company about 3 km 200 e 3.200 km of water supply

networks of various diameters. and so that they only fill only to fill them e, you need 180,000 m³ of water, that is, you can imagine what 60,000 is and how we have to dodge, in order to somehow supply water to people, partially solve this problem, a water conduit from the rostov region must be put into operation, however, the authorities . the donetsk republic openly admit that this is not a panacea, we can do it. significantly increase water availability, but this will not cover all needs. i'll tell you, if we didn't build a water conduit from the don now, if we started building it, then after for half a year we would not have had water at all to fully provide water. hey, here's our region. we can only liberate

the territory. well, this is a completely different task, and hundreds of thousands of military personnel in the efimov zone are now actively working on its solution valery savelyev anastasia popova typical novorossiya on how the water supply to novorossiya was used as a means of pressure, as an actual weapon, we will talk with our permanent expert, historian political scientist alexander vasiliev. sasha good afternoon. hello to the middle ages blocking the water was one of the most effective means during the siege of cities or towns. but then there was no humanitarian law. today, this tool is being used again as a weapon. we are back in the middle ages. and if in the middle ages, in response to such a siege, yes , there the knights could come out of the field, so to speak , line up and fight each other in general, the surrounding population, so to speak, did not so. it was all a burden, then, of course,

today it looks completely different and donbass, uh, experienced huge problems with water. yes with water supply and well it's not not now it has begun, yes, that is, one could refer there to some mutual moments, so to speak, and so on, but in the fourteenth year, of course, of course, and the water energy blockade of crimea, but hmm, there was more to do with, if, again, if the energy backwater, ukraine at least somehow tried, after all, these are incomprehensible activists, or some kind of ukrainian extremists. yes, the water in the crimean canal was blocked by the ukrainian state and refused on principle to even discuss the possibilities there for this money, not for money. eh, somehow guides her, what about? what is the logic? yes, you said about sieges, medieval methods of war. but uh , and about humanitarian law, yes, because we constantly hear all sorts of statements about the occupation, which means that crimea is constantly rural there, he says, our people are there. they are waiting for us. there are more of these people. yes, they kept

northern crimea without water , it suffered very seriously. from all these types of blockade, including, of course, from water back in the fourteenth year, what kind of talk they say. and that ukraine already then, again, and donbass blackmailed, because, and when it was, well, some kind of military opportunity to take possession of mariupol, here in august, in september of the fourteenth year. yes, we agreed that then ukraine would have, but blocked that same e- channel. e, seversky denis donbass, which supplies water, including, and to the house of mariupol, water is supplied and , in fact, a huge region at that time. yes , he would have been completely without water, ukraine could have taken it with his bare hands. here is this blackmail already then turned on. and now he was involved, the most amazing thing is that, in general, here again about the international humanitarian law is not at all that there is no reaction to this. yes, the majority, uh, and the townsfolk. there

, some journalists, politicians in the west do not even have a crime about that, but that year the city, which in pre-war times had a million people and a significant part of which remained, and from its land, does not want to leave anywhere. yes, the agglomeration is even stronger. uh, actually remains without a normal water supply and water. after all, this is not only, but there is a five. yes, yes, this is both technologically and in public utilities heating systems associated with this in the winter , donbass, including this, experienced very big problems. that is such a complex problem. you spoke about the reaction of the international community. an amazing thing, for him there really was no water for this actually declared genocide, but at the same time, uh, the international reacts strangely , while everyone was silent, and when it came to the fact that our authorized rights of children took children out of the zone of these unbearable

living conditions, while the warrants of the international criminal court immediately appeared. how to explain it they look absurd. and what about there just children? yes, they took na, children's health camps in the summer, and there everything is in the north caucasus, there is a beautiful mountain. hmm, these rest homes and in fact today all these people fall under the charge of genocide, because in the un convention corresponding to the forty-sixth year there is a whole line that implies the transfer of children from one community to another. here you go it is understood that russian children in the donbass when they find themselves, and somewhere in a pioneer camp on e. territories means the rest of the subjects of the russian federation, this is the way out of relations, which means that some terrible crimes are happening, they are changing their identity, and so on and so forth. in fact, we know who was engaged in a systematic change of identity, if these children are here, especially from those territories of the zaporozhye kherson regions, which

are really absolutely completely russian-speaking and communicate in russian in everyday life in the family, but they were are deprived by the state, and the opportunity to study their native language in kindergarten at school receives higher education for it. yes, and now, today, uh, they blame russia for this , and most importantly, they fall on the western audience, and that ukraine left a whole region, uh, without water, for example, without a normal water supply. yes , they just don’t know about it, in this sense, and now donetsk has received water from the rostov region on new year’s eve. uh, due to the fact that the old soviet channels are de-energized and will be on cannot, well let's hope that sooner or later this will happen and the water supply through the soviet canal will be restored, then what to do with this new year, will there be such a duplication of infrastructure, if we are talking about the water supply of donbass, then you need to understand that we are in the first place. you download parts.

yes, we talked about humanitarian problems, which, of course , are the most acute, but let's talk broadly, so to speak, and the industry, primarily in the donbass, was the main consumer of this water supply system, because in addition to now widely known from this channel. about siversky donetsk donbass there is a canal, which along the e, dnepropetrovsk region, basically runs a little bit poltava and further to kharkov. this is a canal that led the neprovsky water for the water supply of donbass, and during the soviet period , another canal was built there quite late in the brezhnev era. that's because this channel is after the military, and already roughly speaking in the era of stagnation. the next channel, because these industrial giants of donbass consumed , among other things, a huge amount of water. ah, and therefore, we all believe and hope that the industrial enterprises of donbass are the main function of this region. uh, in russia, here is the industrial heart, yes, which

was there at the end of the 19th century, began to beat. uh, this function will be in demand, and without a full-fledged water supply, of course, this will not happen. and the more will be reborn. eh, donbastroindustrial. and, of course, the greater the consumption will be, and i don't think that one or the other will be superfluous. here is the infrastructure. thank you very much sasha for a very detailed story of 9 years of war on donbass in the heart of novorossiya. they not only changed the appearance of cities and towns beyond recognition, but also led to a deep internal transformation. for many people, civilians in perhaps the most urbanized region of europe have become civilians. so in the jargon of the military they call those who have been fired upon since 2014 without any strategic purpose, who, like a human

shield in 2022, were covered during the battles for mariupol lisichansk and other occupied cities, miners and metallurgy, businessmen and public utilities men and women of donbass became militias and volunteers, defenders of their homes behind the outer convoy of news events and plots and reports from the lines of combat contact, the essence of people often remains, as it were, in the shadows. they are too big filled with deep tragedy and are not always able to fit into short reports colleagues from the rt channel at the documentary film festival about the don we decided to show what is difficult to tell in the news in the center of each film is a poignant story about heroes and their destinies, mariupol doctors saving lives under bullets volunteers who have become earthly angels for

the abandoned and destitute military commanders. whose texts sound louder than any cannonade. all of them, wherever they were born and whatever they do in their lives, have already become heroes . they don’t even understand the time of the heroes in olga mokhova’s story. uh what really happens when you uh from moscow we go by car and come to the border. bank of ukraine i have never been to donbass. in general, in principle, they have neither friends nor relatives there. other reality other people but real life so, if you can briefly summarize the reviews of those who filmed the stories of people in the donbass, daria ganieva is not a military commissar and not a documentary filmmaker, she first went to mariupol in july

2022 with volunteers at the invitation of the russian orthodox church, so as not to see from tv and not from social networks, what's going on people. it seems that they have gone through all the worst, they are already afraid of nothing, as if there is nothing and they, on the contrary , look at life with tremendous optimism. i have already crossed the border. here are these e the woman is calling. eh, my sons say that everything is fine with me, no one is forcibly deporting me. we laughed with her. without staged shots, they retreat, following their heroes. no matter what tasks the shadows perform and, of course, only direct speech without cuts and adjustments trust for trust is the only way in the donbass that you can win over an interlocutor. no, he lives his own life. we stopped in body armor caucasians. we go down the street and look. ah, the boys are playing football on the roadway, old people here and there, grandmothers standing at bus stops became so ashamed, we

stopped. of course, we filmed all this , because we must be living together with the inhabitants of donbas hmm, fatigue from fear is impossible, because it is impossible to be afraid forever, the habit of living under the cannonade of war, how fate will dispose of such an everyday philosophy here, as director oleg shared his observations non-kishev, in addition to courage, the inhabitants of donbass are distinguished by a not vague concept of the motherland; they know exactly what they are defending. one of our heroes, uh, a machine gunner, call sign, he just went to fight, because in the fourteenth year, when the shelling of donbass began, he arrived. uh, that's what bombed his house and he already had a little daughter at that time. yeah, uh, and she comes out and says, daddy, who did that? it is necessary to punish him, and i say, i understood him. the commander of the medical platoon, natalya im, a dragonfly, the son left to fight

as soon as he turned 18. now, after being wounded, he is preparing for the fifth operation. it would seem that women do not belong here, they should hate war, but they are here so that it ends faster. i do not like small arms, i really don’t like it, because i have seen too many wounds over the years. i don't even know. will i be able to shoot a man, although in order to protect my life, i have to do it. there, perhaps, in front of us stands the same mobilization people as ours. yes , guys who lived a peaceful life, only there in another dimension. whether it's mariupol donetsk or severodonetsk life and death literally walk hand in hand, but death does not become more familiar from this. just every moment of life. here they appreciate much more next to a girl, pancakes, fried. here, well i would

have buried him. here is a baby, feeding a fragment, a newborn flew right here, just how much the baby wowed this hero, kapets. 30 30 for a month, and the only thing left to do is really wonder how in mariupol , under shelling, zoo workers counted the dead animals and took care of the survivors, like in severodonetsk, cook marina, having lost her home and her own cafe, lives at the temple and prepares soup for other equally destitute townspeople. and this is mutual assistance , mutual assistance - this is probably the general thing that i i saw it in severodonetsk mariupol. this, of course, is also worth a lot. we often don’t know who our neighbors are, everyone knows everyone there, while the donbass region is not homogeneous and the inhabitants of one city, as it turned out, are very

different from the inhabitants of another , daria admits, many children left for europe , they arrange their lives there, study, but i between i didn't see any rivalry between them. i don’t know the cries that you did the wrong thing there, they communicate, just adequate people. i think they will always find a common language. they always want to return, they say, volunteer journalists move here to live and help, of course, working hands in the donbass will definitely not be superfluous either in construction or in wood storage, they are convinced that the reality is here, the local mariupol residents, but the offer to help with the departure is refused, they say. this is hometown. and that means you have to live here olga mokhova anastasia popova valyrius, savelyev is a typical new russia. that's all we wanted to talk about. kirill

vyshinsky was with you today. see you soon. with my daughter those who is real inspirers of our people , the methods that are now used by the security services of ukraine are worse than the methods used by ukrainian

nationalists, 30-40 years. sponsored by the united states dozens of programs of the union state of russia and belarus are now approaching full implementation, and the joint work of moscow and minsk in various areas from economic cooperation to building a common security system remains successful and effective. such statements were made during the talks between vladimir putin and alexander lukashenko and here are the shots of the beginning of the meeting provided by the kremlin's notoriety , i must say that a lot has been done as
