With all the attention being put elsewhere, there’s not been a whole lot of coverage about Russia’s major oil spill that occurred in April. In this video, we explain the 21,000 cubic metre spill, how the oil has impacted miles of rivers and how the country’s handling this environmental disaster.

    1. There is the second incident already: https://ura.news/news/1052440784
    2. Yes, everything should be checked every 2 years. But this concrete Fuel storage tank was not checked, because from 2016 he was officially on repair. You can find a lot of links or just translate this: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%87%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0_%D0%B2_%D0%9D%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B5
    3. 20 KM? 🙂 Bullshit! That how these numbers were created: https://novayagazeta.ru/articles/2020/06/27/86041-aeroport-eto-tozhe-nornikel. Георгии Каваносян went there, went around security cordons, use other river to go down the lake and he did measurements himself in the river going to the sea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlsyN8JsRvA. It is almost 100 km from the tank more or less the same time you made this video…

    Small " unit" problem TLDR, in the title it's 21.000 cubic meters of oil but then during the video its 21.000 tons (kg)
    Only in the case of water the density matches up and both represent the same quantity.

    Thank you for the video.
    Little point of critic:
    When you mentioned the cost of the cleanup operation you only mentioned the cost in pounds and rubel which are both currencies that are Not used that frequently in Europe so as an EU citizen I do not know the convert Ratio and it is difficult to Set it into perspective.

    Diesel as we know it does not evaporate. The Russian fuel oil must contain a high proportion of kerosene, perhaps to cope with severe low temperatures at which diesel will solidify. Kerosene vaporises hence the smell. The diesel will remain floating on the surface of the water. It will still need an extensive,expensive clean up operation and urgent containment before it spreads far and wide in a thin film on the surface of the sea.

  17. @sifridbassoon

    February 15, 2024 at 3:59 am

    Just curious. When did Russia go back to using double-headed eagles with crowns? That seems rather tsarist.

    I don't think you can just shit on Russia. After all, the people that are most affected by the oil spill are the people that rely on the areas that got contaminated. The company must be held accountable and needs to get a punishments of some sorts.

    Russia: has one of their largest oil spills and gives the company responsible a slap on the wrist

    Everyone: Russia is doing good! They punished the meany-head company and started cleaning it right away! Nevermind that they hid it from the world for days.

    America: has oil spill and gives company slap on the wrist.

    Literally the entire world: OmG LiTeRaLlY HiTlEr! ThEy ShOuLd Be MoRe LiKe Russia WhEre NoThInG BaD HaPpEnS aNd ThEy'Re DeFiNiTlEy NoT CoMmUnIsTs In HidInG.

    It is more the guy running the oil company and Putin who are to blame than the nation of Russia. The buck stops at the top guy and can't be spread out.
    The methods for keeping permafrost frozen are well known and have been known for a long time. Not taking steps before the problem is as much the cause as the warming.

    When a country has a corrupt authoritarian regime, it is obvious that catastrophes like this will persist. I just hope they will not have another Chornobyl.
