KARABASH...Russia's Toxic Town

LATEST MERCH: teespring.com/...
🇷🇺 Not long ago the town of Karabash was declared Russia's most toxic town due got the heavy pollutants that a mining plant was pumping into the air over the region.
And so with my friend Roman from the popular KZbin channel NFKRZ we decided to visit the town and see for ourselves just how life was progressing there.
Join us on the road to Karabash...

@stefan matvei swietoniowski Putin's role in modern Russia is as simple as that: making his old friends and colleagues (even the dumbest ones) billionaires, promoting religion, limiting people's basic rights and freedoms, running agressive policy wrt Russia's neighbours. The official propaganda has been telling us that Putin saved Russia's integrity which is clearly a lie. Everyone in Russia knows that Chechnya has been continuously ignoring the federal laws, the higher Chechen politicians can say or do whatever they wants, Kadyrov has its own army and Kadyrovs were never replaced by Kremlin as apposed to governors of every other Russian province. The official propaganda has been telling us that Russian standards of life raised because of Putin, which is 10% true at best. Albeit in fact Putin initiated a few useful economic reforms in the early 2000s, the economic growth was mainly contributed by the oil and gas prices of 2000-2013. Also, the annexation of Crimea was not recognized by either the other nations or even major Russian companies including banks and mobile operators.

It's a well known fact that the more polluted and non-suited it is for human life the better it is for grass. There's a lot of abandoned factories in my town, and the grass around them is super green, the whole place is grey and dull, but man the grass is almost neon green.

There are alcoholics reaching the 80‘s with an brain that damaged that they don’t even remember their own names. Does that make it better? Like it’s a poison and while I agree it’s somewhat genetics you are pouring toxins into your body over and over again. The problem is, the human body is insanely rigid.
