The companies are organised in such a way that..
..it does not matter what happens to the environment.
For them everything is about pumping up as much oil as possible.
Because oil is money.
And the money is not even primarily going to pay salaries..
..as the workers do not get paid much.
It is going to the profit of those at the top, for the elite.
And if they do notice, they just put temporary pipes there.
Well if they have a spill, so what?
They send some people just to pretend they are doing something.
So it is a very dangerous situation because..
..practically all the fish have disappeared from the river.
Apparently they are not there at all anymore.
Well, what about nature?
There are fewer birds. And no mosquitos.
All of this has an effect. There are no mosquitoes.
Again, this effects the fish.
It all has an effect, all things pull each other.
Our agriculture is completely destroyed.
The reindeer...
We had a reindeer farm here in Ust Usinsk.
But they just took all our grazing grounds away.
We do not have a single piece of grazing land anymore.
We have no reindeer left.
We have none here, we do not even see living reindeer any more.
The oil men will, of course, just continue as they do if we keep silent.
I think people must be active so that this does not happen, and of course..
..if we are active, I think we can stop this oil flow into our river.
But if not, then the majority of our rivers will lose their valuable species.
That is definite.
