a memory. hello. kirill vyshinsky is with you, and this is program typical novorossiya our name says it all, we talk about the territory that has returned to its historical roots (novorossiya) with the help of a careful look at history. we will try to reveal the originality of her present day, to find in it typical features and recognizable signs of the past. and that's what we'll talk about today. without water, how soviet water pipelines became means of pressure on new russia. how to deal with water blackmail a conversation with an expert of the war program through the eyes of those who live on it documentary film from

donbass at the festival of the tv channel rt 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. here, irrigation systems and canals were actively built to transfer water from the beds of the dnieper and tributaries of the donor. to provide water to the donetsk region, in which there are no large rivers. built in the 1950s canal seversky donetsk donbass into the water along it from the tributary. the don bone of the kalmius river 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 of the dnieper, thanks to which moisture-loving rice was grown in the north of crimea until 2013. the channel provided the peninsula. approximately 80% of the volume of water abstraction, vulnerable position region. in novorossiya. after their self-determination in 2014, the ukrainian authorities took advantage of strikes against infrastructure created back in soviet times to inflict maximum damage. water blockade methods have become a new type of weapon in april 2014

, the water supply from the demprano was cut off. on the crimean peninsula , the canal bed was covered with sandbags as a result, the agriculture of the northern crimea was seriously damaged. on the entire peninsula, they began to give water 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; , which originates in ukrainian-controlled slavyansk, was purposefully de-energized, pumping stations for supplying hot water were out of order. in donetsk, they stopped almost immediately

cold began to be served in doses and according to water carriers were launched around the city once every three days for 2-3 hours. stable water supply of the population remained personally insignificant territory. dnr where it is. it was possible to partially solve the problem of water supply to the donbass due to the construction of its underground sources. 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 story anna efimova filling the system is accepted, including the pump. just a couple of commands, by the radio of pressing a button on the control panel, water went hundreds of cubic meters from the don river are pumped into huge tanks, which were empty before. the beginning of the test launch of the water conduit from the rostov region to the donbass

was preceded by a painstaking, but by the construction standards of rapid work , the shock construction of the new century. back in mid- february. there were metal frames. today, a full-fledged pontoon water intake station launched the first of the pumping stations beat the heart of water, rostov-on-don. seversky donetsk donbas ahead gradual filling of storage tanks with water hydraulic tests, of course, while this technical test run, specialists will have to assess whether everything is in order with the equipment and the water line itself. but this is 200 km of pipes. excessive pressure will be specially applied in order to find out all vulnerabilities, for example, together with seam marks, donbass almost 300,000 cubic meters per day from the rostov region, water will sow to 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 in mariupol now receives water exclusively from e, the kalchikovsky reservoir, which is located near the city of e, but before it was a reserve source water supply, mariupol, and back 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 the water conduit from the don became an unprecedented project for russia, for the first time it is being built so short deadlines for objects of such complexity, as a rule, several years are allotted in this all-russian construction site, 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 iron and steel works supplied steel sheets. depending on

the thickness of the metal, we adjust the speed, the order for production at this plant was received at the end of november and within a month. more than 45,000 tons were completed ahead of schedule 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 the production of problem products. donetsk region, not by hearsay familiar to crimea in 2014, the peninsula also found itself in a water blockade after ukraine blocked the north crimean canal viktor tarasenko, honorary president of the crimean academy of sciences , an internationally known ecologist believes that the construction of water conduits. this is a modern and more relevant reading of the old approaches, when, at the cost of incredible efforts

, man-made rivers were laid ; according to the scientist every year. everything is lower, this is not the canal bed, as all the euros of the crimean canal did at one time, and then they suffered. uh, with this we lay down with films with losses from the ute. and so on. that's 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 the most sensible rational to hold these several smaller water pipelines have already been launched in the donbass, for example, the chernovsky water pipeline near debaltseve, the volnovakha rovenky and dokuchaevsky facilities, as well as the line from the khanzhonkovsky reservoir, the seversky donetsk canal, however, the pipes in the houses must still withstand the water supply. they are mostly rotten. water there is no more than 25%

, and here it is very optimistic. the figure , taking into account the waterfalls that we have and which reach almost sixty percent in some areas, and often this is, in fact, the construction of new networks - this is one of the most important tasks for the entire donbass last year. we have more than 250 objects connected. 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 facilities, we must make an average of almost a million donetsk now about 60,000 cubic meters of water per day for comparison , until 2021 this figure reached 300,000 cubic meters, while water for people are bred in tanks, or served on a tight schedule, but even then the residents still have to carry buckets to the upper

floors, the water just does not rise. in the city of donetsk, now, our company is servicing about 3 km 200 e 3.200 km of water supply networks of various diameters, and in order to fill them only to fill them e, 180,000 m³ of water is needed, that is, you can imagine what 60,000 is and how we you have to dodge, in order to somehow supply water to people partially to solve this problem , water conduits from the rostov region should be put into operation, however, the authorities. the donetsk republic openly admits this after all. not panacea, we can increase the supply of uh, here is water, 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 didn’t start building it,

then in six months we wouldn’t have water at all to completely provide water. hey, here's our region. we can only liberate the territory. well, this is a completely different task, and hundreds are actively working on its solution. thousands of soldiers in the zone of anna the seventh valery savelyev anastasia popova is a typical novorossiya. we will talk about how the water supply to novorossiya was used as a means of pressure, as an actual weapon, with our permanent expert, historian and political scientist alexander vasiliev. sasha good afternoon. hello to the middle ages. shutting off the water was one of the most effective means, and during the siege of cities or fortresses, but then there was no humanitarian law. today, this tool is again used as a weapon. we are back in

middle ages and if in the middle ages, in response to such a siege, yes, there the knights could go out, so to speak, line up in the field and fight with each other in general, the surrounding population, so to speak, not so. it was all a burden, then, of course, today it looks like. completely different donbass, uh, experienced, but huge problems with water. yes, with water supply and well, it didn’t just start right now, 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, but the water energy blockade of crimea and hmm, and if, again, if the energy blockade, ukraine at least somehow tried, after all, these are incomprehensible activists, or some kind of ukrainian extremists. yes, the ukrainian state blocked the water to the crimean canals and refused on principle to even discuss the possibility there for money not for money. eh, how do you say to guide her? and? what is the logic? yes, that's what he said about the siege

of medieval methods of war. but uh, and about humanitarian law. yes, because we constantly hear all sorts of statements about the occupation, crimea means that there is always a village, 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 are they talking about? e that ukraine was already blackmailing the donbass, too , because, and when there was, well, some kind of military opportunity to seize mariupol, that's in august, in september of the fourteenth year. yes, we agreed that then ukraine would, and blocked the same 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, it would be completely without water. i could take it with my bare hands. here is this blackmail already then turned on. and now he was

involved, the most surprising thing is that, but in general, here again , there is nothing about international humanitarian law at all, not that there is no reaction to it. yes, the majority, uh, and the townsfolk. there's some western politicians journalists don't even have a crime about the city, which in pre-war times had a million inhabitants and a significant part of which remained, and from its land. doesn't want to go anywhere. yes, the agglomeration is even more violent. uh, actually remains without a normal water supply and water. after all, this is not only. uh, it’s five, yes, yes, it’s both technologically and in public utilities , heating systems connected in winter, donbass , including this, experienced very big problems. that is such a complex problem. you spoke about the reaction of the international communities. the amazing thing is that he really wasn't there for this actually declared genocide.

with the help of creating unbearable conditions, there is no water, but at the same time, uh, the international reacts strangely , while everyone was silent, and when it came to the fact that uh ours, the commissioner for children's rights took the children out of the zone of these unbearable living conditions , while immediately appeared, a warrant of the international criminal court. how to explain it they look absurd. and what about there just children? yes on uh children's health camps in the summer, everything is in the north of the caucasus , a beautiful mountain. hmm, these rest homes and in fact today all these people are under charges 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. well , it is understood that when russian children from the donbass find themselves, and somewhere in a pioneer camp on e, the territory means and the subjects of the russian federation, this is the way out of relations, it means that some terrible

crimes are being committed, their identity is being changed, and so on and so forth. in fact , we know who was involved in a systematic, a change of identity. if these children are especially here, that is, and those territories there of the zaporozhye kherson regions, which are really absolutely completely russian-speaking and communicate in russian in everyday life in the family, but were deprived by the state, and the opportunity to study their native language in kindergarten at school gets on her higher education. yeah lo and be, now tonight uh blame it russia, and most importantly, that they fall on the western audience, and that ukraine left entire regions without water, for example, without a normal water supply. yes , about that. it's just, uh, in this sense, i don't know ; uh, due to the fact that the old soviet channels are de-energized and will be. damn it can't. well, let's hope that sooner or later this will happen and the water supply

through the soviet canal will be restored, what then to do with this new year will not be whether there is such a duplication of infrastructure, if we are talking about the water supply of donbass, this must be understood. we are in the first part. yes, we talked about humanitarian problems, which, of course, are the most acute, but let 's speak broadly, so to speak, and the industry in the first place in donbass was the main consumer of these water pipeline systems, because in addition to the well-known now, this canal is also widely used. about seversky donetsk donbass there is a channel, which, along the dnepropetrovsk region, basically runs a little poltava and further to kharkov. this is a canal that led the non-provincial water for the water supply of donbass, and this soviet time was already there in the brezhnev era. quite late another canal was built. yes, 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. e in here is the industrial heart of russia, 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 revived, and the donbass is industrial. and of course, the greater the consumption will be, and i do not think that one or the other will be superfluous. here is the infrastructure . sasha thank you very much for a very detailed story. 9 years of war in the donbass in the very heart of novorossia not only changed the appearance of cities and towns beyond recognition, but also led to a deep internal transformation of many people, civilians, perhaps the most

urbanized region of europe, became civilians. so in the jargon of the military they call those who have been fired upon without any strategic purpose since 2014, 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 volunteer defenders their houses. for an external convoy of news events and plots and reports from the lines combat contact. the essence of people would often remain, as it were, in the shadows. they are too big filled with deep tragedy and are not always able to fit into short reports. our colleagues from the rt tv channel at the documentary film festival. they decided to show about donbass what is difficult to tell in the news in the center of each film

is a poignant story about heroes and their destinies, military doctors who liberated mariupol, volunteers saving lives under bullets, who became earthly angels for abandoned and destitute military correspondents. whose lyrics sound louder than any canada, all of them, wherever they were born, and whatever they did in their lives, they have already become heroes. more about the time of the heroes in the plot of olga mokhova what is here in place? many don't even understand. uh, what really happens there when you, uh, leave moscow . we go by car and arrive in the donbass, you cross the border to the donbass, you find yourself in some other dimension. there are completely different people living there. i have never been to ukraine. i have never been to donbass. in general, in principle, they have there, no friends, no

relatives. other reality other people but real life is like that, 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, not from tv and not from social networks to see what was happening there. in mariupol , people have the feeling that, like, they have experienced all the worst, they are already afraid of nothing, as if they have nothing and, on the contrary, they look at life with tremendous optimism. these women are being called by their sons, who says that everything is fine with me , he doesn’t deport me much. we exchanged with her without staging 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. well , it is impossible to be together with the inhabitants of donbass. after all, to be afraid forever is the habit of living under the cannonade of war, how fate will decide such here, everyday philosophy, as the director oleg nekishev shared his observations , in addition to courage, the inhabitants of donbass are distinguished by a not vague concept of the motherland, they know for sure that they are defending one of our heroes. e. keim machine gunner, he just went to fight, because in the fourteenth year, when began shelling donbass 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 with the call sign dragonfly sy. he went to fight as soon as he turned 18. now, after being wounded, he is already 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 don't like small arms, i really don't like because over the years i have seen too many wounds. i do not know even. 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 in the literal sense, even from hand

in hand, but death does not become more familiar from this. just every moment of life. here they appreciate, much more near the girl, fritters, fried. here, well i'd be behind him. here, here is a baby, feeding a fragment , a newborn flew here, damn it. how old is the baby for a week? wow this hero kapets him a month. and the truth is that it only remains to be surprised how in mariupol, under shelling, the zoo workers counted the dead animals and took care of the survivors, like in severodonetsk, the cook marina, having lost her home and her own cafe, lives at the temple and prepares soup for other equally disadvantaged citizens of mutual assistance mutual assistance. this is probably the general thing that i saw 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 screams that you made the wrong choice there. they communicate just adequate people. i think they will always find, in general, you always want a language come back, they say, journalists, volunteers move here to live and help. of course, working hands in the donbass will definitely not be superfluous either in construction or in healthcare. they are convinced that the reality is precisely here that the local mariupol residents refuse to offer to help with the departure , they say. this is hometown. and that means you have to live here olga mokhova anastasia popova

valery savelyev is a typical new russia. that's all we wanted to talk about. kirill vyshinsky was with you today. see you soon. on the red liman direction, she the enemy attack was repulsed in the dubrovsky sector, representatives of the center group reported this. as part of the counter-battery combat by means and reconnaissance of the group of forces, the center of the hidden artillery units of the enemy as a result of fire damage, all targets were suppressed by the
