Siberia and the far East - the territory of oblivion

It is interesting to observe what is happening in our country. Russia is huge. On the map. And in fact? open any news site, turn on any talk show except maybe shows about bad parents and the unbearable conditions of life, and what will you see? you will see that russia, in fact, quite a comfortable fit in the European part and the urals. We are concerned about the protection of our borders from several battalions of NATO in the baltics.

We are involved in geopolitics in asia. We close the sky from the missile systems of potential enemy over the industrial centers of the European part. And at the same time constantly talking about what to fight, no one will. I agree.

Will not. Why, if half of Russia will simply disappear. Not the territory, people. And the region of 400-500 km from the capital is already deaf province. Province, where it is impossible to live with the perspective of those participants of the talk show. However, many, especially of the "Immigrants from the Soviet Union", talk with nostalgia about his childhood in any of the siberian or far Eastern village, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, good people. The country's leaders periodically express "Concern" economic, military and other state regions.

Fly to some city. Meet with youth and "Economic asset". Offer programs of development of territories. Fly planes. And you know why? try to sit on a high-speed train and cross the ural mountains. It will not work! Russia ends in kazan.

Further. The Soviet Union. Keep it coming! a plane is fun for many people in the trans-ural russia, it's expensive. Many airports have long been just disappeared. Not needed. So what happens? why is important for countries in the region today in the paddock? why thrown to the wolves even cities like omsk? why cast a huge territory? life in the Russia exist only along the trans-siberian railway.

Where there is industrial city and enterprises. Anywhere it can roll 100-200 km from the "Glands" and you will be taken to a remote, unexplored areas of the times of ermak. Well, maybe, since peter stolypin. With a well-preserved way of life, traditions, customs. A sort of ethnic reserve.

The old believers, cossacks, idolaters. Shamans and herbalists. Well at least to weave sandals out of practice. Many times in the press and at the state level was discussed on the immediate need to solve the problem of the settlement of the Eastern territories. Said industrialists. Said military. Said everyone who has ever been beyond the urals. The first to realize the futility of the conversations and all of these innovations, in business.

Then, they are a business. They do the work, not the language of scratch from boredom. And thesis defend. If the mountain will not come to magomed?. It is quite logical to bring this very "Magomed" to the mountain.

And that's all. From the point of view of the state it would be great to bring and leave there to live. And from a business point of view? the businessman is going to build new houses in cities? to create the infrastructure? to ensure the implementation of numerous scientifically-based, government initiatives? yeah. Dropped everything and started spending money on "Stuff".

It is cheaper to hire workers in the inhabited areas of the country, and drive them to and from work on a rotational basis. View of the city in the oil producing areas. There is almost gone locals! many media spoke enthusiastically about the beautiful initiative of the president with far east hectares. Here it is, here is a revolutionary solution! the idea that simply will create a mass exodus of the population to siberia and especially the far east.

Free acres! a hectare of land! and then there was "Constipation". Somehow stop the flow of thanks to the presidential initiative. How to cut. What's the deal? that did not work or vice versa, at the initiative responded to so many people that the local officials simply can not cope with the flood of immigrants? to understand what is happening i had to talk to many people with the far east.

The place is much clearer to all what the silence of our pundits from the "European" russia. Many ordinary people believe that "Far east hectare" is a continuation of the ideas of petr stolypin about the colonization of the Eastern territories of the empire. Then, at the beginning of the last century, the peasants also received land, enjoy the benefits and credits of the state, were settled on previously cultivated lands. But there is one very significant "Knot", who stubbornly refuse to notice pundits in government and around government smart institutions. Uncomfortable to sit on a branch, but do not want to notice. Then the whole beauty of the idea will go to pieces. So, ask yourself about the need to move to the beginning of the last and present century.

Why stolypin had to solve this problem? and in what conditions? and the answer is on the surface. The agricultural region of central Russia in the last century was overpopulated! to put it simply, farmers do not really have enough land! people have, and nowhere to run. And today? in the European part of russia, how much abandoned land? how many employees are needed for farm labor? and that's with modern methods of soil treatment, with a pile of machines to help with the location of industrialized cities, with quite tolerable road network. Not enough now peasants! but it is rather a state approach to the problem. But there are just human.

Approach those who in the last century were called kulaks. Strong owners who do not care for the opinion of scientists. They are the owners and want to manage. And most importantly, these people have learned to count their own money! "Free acres you say? and who is it for free? for the urban man, which on this hectare of ostriches to breed is boredom and excess money? or forester that the trees for sale to grow want? and i don't need it.

To me, a local. And for those who are sitting on the ground in russia, and even more so. You land our saw? i'm not talking about taiga. I'm talking about the land that threw in the 90s and later. Now imagine you took this free hectare former collective farm land.

Trees have sprouted? sprouted! all boreal vegetation too. You need to remove? need! how long are you going to do? the year is lost. Another year that will be planted? oats are for horses! tree she the earth with acid waters. Will not grow anything. Another year. Third year, what will you do? vegetables to grow.

Or rather just the potatoes. Now calculate how much all this will cost. ". To be considered, i certainly did not. Just turned to open sources of information. It turned out absolutely incredible figure.

To restore a hectare of land to use for agricultural purpose will be worth 300-400 thousand rubles. Wow free hectare is obtained. And cows on a hectare not planted. And this despite the fact that all to use the land, except livestock, just three or four months of the year. And not six months as in the central russia.

And all sorts of disasters, like the flood of the rivers, and the like are not uncommon here. And where the attractiveness of the urals? widely publicized a bunch! so both components of economic solutions to problems of population decline of the Eastern regions of the country actually turned out to be a bluff. The state, seeking to use private businesses to solve the problems of depressed regions, somehow "Forgot" the essence of private business. "Nothing personal, just business". Simply to earn money.

All. May not be politically correct, but i will compare two regions that are not leaders in economic and other development in the country. Single, voronezh oblast, located in the European part of russia. And the other, the amur region, it is clear that not the suburbs. So, to dismiss all the reports of local officials about the victories, compare the murder rate. Than not an indicator of depression? so, voronezh oblast-4. 3 per 100 000 people! amur oblast-25 per 100,000! impressive? and do you think talented boy or girl with talent, in any field, will remain in the amur region? and the residents of voronezh province in flocks rush to the far east and siberia? not to tell us about the desire of the government to improve the lives of siberians and far Easterners, the practice shows that this desire while in the cases are not visible.

In words -yes. In business -no! siberia and the far east today the territory of the catastrophic depopulation! it is catastrophic. Most of the settlements, from large cities to very small new settlements, declined in population! moreover, the decrease in it really is akin to war. A third of the population over the last 35-40 years! for comparison look at the statistics of migration of population in regions of the world where there is actual fighting.

The same Syria view. And we have war in the urals? the development of the industrial centres of siberia and the far east is a good thing. The development of science is also good. All that is developing is alive! but towns and villages are empty.

The land returns to its wild state. Again, the growing crime, drug addiction, alcoholism. The urals turns into a "House of veterans". The youth ran.

Are the elderly. Geopolitical situation of our country is such that virtually no region in which, on occasion, do not covet neighbors. Too rich these regions and too weak to protect themselves. This requires people. Those who in the early days will be on the protection of your own home. Otherwise with us even fighting is not needed.

Siberia and the far east a second time "Will win the cossacks ermak". Just come to the desert land and all. No man's land does not happen! creating a soft, even comfortable conditions for the life of siberians and far Easterners, we run the risk of spending much more money in the future on defense deserted areas. The problem is. Do the words of the great lomonosov forgotten? "The Russian power will grow siberia and the Northern ocean!".

Can power we don't have? maybe easier kukuzelisa to the size of the European part? only here.
