[00:01:01] The Russian military launched new attacks on Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities
[00:01:04] in Ukraine. In the Odessa region, in addition to port infrastructure and
[00:01:07] ships, the Tennet Data Center was attacked. The Ukrainian Armed Forces used it
[00:01:11] for processing, transmitting, and storing information. In the Kharkiv region,
[00:01:15] after air strikes, an ammunition depot detonated for more than 3
[00:01:18] hours. Also, throughout the night, Geraniums were active in the vicinity of Kyiv,
[00:01:22] with reports of an explosion at the Kyiv electric substation.
[00:01:25] In addition, arrivals were recorded in Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk,
[00:01:29] Chernihiv, and Mykolaiv
[00:01:30] regions.
[00:01:34] Mobile fire groups of the center control the sky in the
[00:01:38] Dobropol direction. They work here around the clock. The enemy sends
[00:01:42] various types of UAVs to our positions. About
[00:01:45] how aerial targets are detected and how they are shot down
[00:01:48] in the report of our military correspondent Alexander
[00:01:51] Katsuba.
[00:01:56] UAVs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attack our positions at maximum speed.
[00:02:01] Machine guns work well at long
[00:02:03] distances when
[00:02:05] detected.
[00:02:09] and, well, at night, it's better with a machine gun, because
[00:02:12] there's a thermal imager, with which you see the target
[00:02:16] better. Three machine guns on one mount. The fire groups of the
[00:02:19] center operate from disguised positions in the most difficult
[00:02:23] areas of enemy drones'
[00:02:25] flight paths.
[00:02:30] Soldiers of the 55th Mountain Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Center group
[00:02:33] of forces record every enemy strike drone.
[00:02:37] There is already a connection established between us,
[00:02:40] completely. When these
[00:02:43] birds are detected, it is transmitted along the chain, that is, by squares,
[00:02:46] logistical centers of are already tracking them,
[00:02:50] that is, the mobile fire groups are probably already waiting
[00:02:53] for them. I see the target, it's moving in your
[00:02:56] direction. It was too far, I couldn't shoot.
[00:03:03] Strike drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces circle over the roads that supply
[00:03:07] the peaceful cities of Donbass. This drone targets
[00:03:10] a truck with
[00:03:11] food.
[00:03:14] It falls.
[00:03:17] I was looking for targets, monitoring the
[00:03:21] direction, and I had to work on
[00:03:24] it. It went into the forest belt,
[00:03:27] later, that is, with two mobile fire groups, ours and... the neighboring one
[00:03:31] managed to shoot down its gasoline-powered, as it is called by the common people, "chainsaw,"
[00:03:34] which is fierce. This is its engine. Dozens of assorted
[00:03:38] drones shot down in just the last few days.
[00:03:41] It's easier to work on a gasoline one, because, firstly, you can hear it
[00:03:45] quite from afar, and the target
[00:03:48] is larger than a Hornet, and as a rule, gasoline
[00:03:51] UAVs fly in a straight course, while
[00:03:54] a Hornet has the ability to change
[00:03:57] direction, and quite sharply
[00:04:01] it changes it.
[00:04:04] It's all made of foam, so hitting the wings, that is,
[00:04:07] doesn't cause much damage to it, that is, it's either
[00:04:11] the ammunition, that is, to it, if you hit it, or directly
[00:04:15] into the engine. With a .127 caliber, it hit the engine, that is,
[00:04:18] I said it started to descend, that is, accordingly, they finished it off.
[00:04:21] Combat work is round-the-clock, fire groups
[00:04:25] of the center control the sky
[00:04:26] everywhere.
[00:04:30] Dobropol direction.
[00:04:34] Ukraine needs a new president, and Zelensky
[00:04:37] should hold elections. This statement was made by Donald Trump.
[00:04:40] Elon Musk supported the American president's point of view, writing
[00:04:44] verbatim: "It's time for Ukraine to get a new
[00:04:47] leader." Zelensky immediately rushed to call European
[00:04:50] sponsors in search of support. What answer he received, Elizaveta
[00:04:54] Morskaya will tell. The German
[00:04:58] Berliner calls this skirmish the most dangerous for Zelensky since
[00:05:01] the February thrashing in the Oval Office. It seems that what
[00:05:05] he had been warned about for so long has happened, Trump's patience
[00:05:08] ran out. We told Zelensky, don't hit
[00:05:12] him.
[00:05:42] Isn't it time to change the president? The media writes that after these words, Zelensky
[00:05:46] had a tantrum. He immediately began calling his allies. However,
[00:05:50] they told him nothing new, except for routine phrases like "we will continue pressure on
[00:05:54] Russia." Today,
[00:05:56] the Prime Minister of Great Britain held talks with Volodymyr
[00:06:00] Zelensky. The Prime Minister began the conversation by acknowledging
[00:06:03] that the last 24 hours were difficult for
[00:06:07] Ukraine and once again expressed his full
[00:06:10] solidarity. The extent to which this situation is humiliating
[00:06:13] for Kyiv is now vividly described by the Western press. The Financial Times
[00:06:16] writes: Trump announced a diesel deal right during the visit
[00:06:20] of the Ukrainian delegation to Miami. The meeting, allegedly, was not even brought to
[00:06:23] an end. And this eloquently speaks of Washington's true
[00:06:26] attitude, comments the New York Times. For Kyiv and its
[00:06:30] European allies, the short negotiations in Miami clearly
[00:06:33] showed how American diplomacy shifted to a hunt for profitable deals
[00:06:37] with Russia. As experts note, Kyiv still did not
[00:06:41] understand that for the current administration, the slogan "America First" is not an empty
[00:06:44] sound, it is the principle on which its approaches to politics are based,
[00:06:48] and this is what today's Europe lacks. Thus, the Slovak Prime Minister Robert
[00:06:52] Fico reacted to the deal between the presidents of Russia and the USA.
[00:06:55] Mess in the whole world. They care about their own
[00:06:59] national interests. That's what I constantly talk about, and we should
[00:07:02] care about ours. And what about us in the European Union? We ban everything,
[00:07:06] impose sanctions, embargoes, read lectures. Well, we pay for
[00:07:09] diesel like crazy and tremble with fear. Will it be enough?
[00:07:13] And such a reaction was given not only by Fico. A similar opinion was expressed by all European
[00:07:17] politicians who advocate for the protection of national
[00:07:20] interests, a strong economy, and most importantly, peace on
[00:07:23] the continent. Trump completely abandons Zelensky. I
[00:07:26] think it's time for Ukraine to have a new
[00:07:29] president, this is a chance for peace. As for
[00:07:33] Eurobureaucrats, they are in shock. While they are waging war against Russia,
[00:07:37] Russian and American presidents are holding talks,
[00:07:39] agreeing. How is this even possible? Today,
[00:07:57] Russia celebrates the Day of Agricultural and Processing Industry Workers.
[00:08:00] Vladimir Putin congratulated industry representatives.
[00:08:03] The President stressed that even in difficult conditions, the domestic agro-industrial complex
[00:08:07] operates at full capacity, thanks to which the country remains one of the
[00:08:11] world leaders
[00:08:13] in agriculture.
[00:08:15] Thanks to your energy and dedication to your work,
[00:08:19] Russia firmly holds its position as one of the leading
[00:08:23] producers of agricultural products in
[00:08:25] the world. Even in difficult current conditions,
[00:08:29] the domestic agro-industrial complex operates steadily and
[00:08:33] stably. You perform your tasks conscientiously,
[00:08:36] with full dedication.
[00:08:40] Reliably guarantee food.
[00:09:12] products with provision of seed material, so
[00:09:16] in general, we will continue to systematically support
[00:09:19] the agro-industrial sector, which faces large-scale
[00:09:23] tasks.
[00:09:25] In Khakassia, bears literally laid siege to the city of
[00:09:28] Abakan. Our film crew went there to find out
[00:09:32] where the forest predators came from and who is protecting the local
[00:09:36] residents. Watch the special report by Mikhail Popov, right after
[00:09:39] the commercial.
[00:09:49] At Alfa-Bank, we support large-scale

[00:10:10] industry, laying fiber-optic
[00:10:14] mainlines between continents,
[00:10:17] developing sustainable infrastructure
[00:10:20] of the country.

[00:10:57] Tochka Bank for business.
[00:11:00] For those who were the first to use neural networks, while everyone was on
[00:11:04] social media, who was the first to work on the beach, not in
[00:11:07] the office, who was the first to turn off Wi-Fi because it's
[00:11:11] faster on a smartphone. For those who are always first, Megafon
[00:11:14] launched the Mega 5G option,
[00:11:18] so that you can be the first to experience a new level of speed,
[00:11:21] connect the Mega 5G option to your smartphones across the country.
[00:11:25] Megafon, mobile operator number one in terms of speed and
[00:11:28] coverage.

[00:12:53] A beautiful, unspoiled youth. Someday you will grow old and
[00:12:57] ugly. If my portrait grew old, there was
[00:13:00] something terribly fascinating in the possibility of exerting one's influence. They say
[00:13:04] terrible things about you. The portrait was to blame for
[00:13:06] everything. Only by the rings on his hands did the servants recognize
[00:13:10] him. If only they had VTB. Lord Henry, that's
[00:13:13] too expensive. In life, you need another consultant at VTB. Our call center
[00:13:17] works 24/7. Thought about a family
[00:13:19] account? Yes, VTB is a classic,
[00:13:22] I agree.
[00:13:33] Grey, this is tough, say it, yes, yes,
[00:13:36] a little, a bit, yes, they are here, there he is,
[00:13:39] tran-tan-tan. In Russia, bears walk
[00:13:43] the streets. This smile-inducing Western stereotype became
[00:13:46] a frightening reality in the autumn of 2026.
[00:13:49] Yes.
[00:13:54] The clumsy continue
[00:13:57] to attack residents of the Irkutsk region,
[00:14:00] Krasnoyarsk, Altai Krai, and
[00:14:02] Khakassia. This is something else
[00:14:06] entirely. Bears are also increasingly coming out to
[00:14:09] people in the Urals, in the Ivdel area, Sverdlovsk region.
[00:14:13] An enraged predator wandered into a parking lot and damaged about ten
[00:14:16] cars. By the way, he was just trying to drive out
[00:14:19] everyone.
[00:14:21] According to the Ministry of Natural Resources of our country,
[00:14:25] over the past 36 years, the number of brown predators in Russia
[00:14:28] has increased almost 2.5
[00:14:30] times.
[00:14:35] If in 1990 the State Committee for Nature
[00:14:38] of the Soviet Union registered 130,000
[00:14:42] bears, then in 2026 there were already almost
[00:14:46] 308,000. This is a case where you count
[00:14:50] not chickens, but bears in autumn. Currently, in
[00:14:54] Khakassia, there are.
[00:15:25] Casual encounter footage, shot on mobile phones, has filled the internet.
[00:15:28] Look, another car will stop now and start filming
[00:15:31] it, it will throw
[00:15:33] food at it.
[00:15:37] Some are ready to feed the teddy bears by hand, others
[00:15:40] warn of deadly danger. Feed it, you
[00:15:44] are feeding it, damn it, and then it approaches people. One threw a candy,
[00:15:48] another a piece of bread. Where are people's brains, damn it? And then
[00:15:51] it goes into villages, starts rummaging through
[00:15:54] garbage and tearing up dogs and weaker people.
[00:15:58] The bear is reclaiming new
[00:16:01] territories from people.
[00:16:38] Well, the main feeding ground for bears is nuts,
[00:16:42] that's how it builds up fat, it turns out, but
[00:16:45] this year there's a problem with nuts, there are no
[00:16:48] nuts, the bear is hungry, it won't gain much fat from grass,
[00:16:52] so it turns out
[00:16:54] that's why they visit. The standard of
[00:16:58] living in the taiga has dropped below rock bottom. Hungry predators
[00:17:02] descend from the mountains into populated areas in search of a better
[00:17:05] life. A huge cat stopped right here, literally right
[00:17:09] here. It looked left, looked
[00:17:12] right, I hid behind a blanket, ran
[00:17:16] into the children's room, my little one was no longer sleeping, the older one
[00:17:20] was asleep. Bears are rummaging in the yards of local residents
[00:17:24] and in farmers' gardens. It broke the fence there and broke
[00:17:27] it there too, that is, almost every night, the raids on the city are currently passing
[00:17:31] without casualties. Not a single case of an animal attack
[00:17:35] on a person has been recorded in Obazena, but this is not because
[00:17:38] the bears behave like well-behaved guests, but because
[00:17:41] local volunteer hunters stop the beast at
[00:17:45] the approaches to the settlement. There have been repeated
[00:17:48] liquidations of bears here, about seven individuals were
[00:17:52] liquidated here in this garden. The liquidation
[00:17:55] operation began in August and will end with the onset of
[00:17:58] cold weather, when the bear will go into hibernation, or rather,
[00:18:02] if it goes. I would not
[00:18:04] want children who go to school to be eaten by a bear,
[00:18:08] so I'm doing this. Hunting at night, then
[00:18:12] to work in the morning. How the volunteer squad lives,
[00:18:16] which stood up to defend the city,
[00:18:18] which
[00:18:22] birds hunt
[00:18:24] bears.
[00:18:28] Together with the hunters, we walked 160 km up
[00:18:31] the Abakan River to find out what happiness is
[00:18:35] and where to find it. Happiness
[00:18:38] is when your soul is calm, everything
[00:18:41] is happiness, happiness. This is a story not about
[00:18:44] bears, but about people, those who live in a besieged city
[00:18:48] and those who protect them.
[00:19:08] In the besieged city, this is what the fortress wall looks like. This
[00:19:12] week, a bear broke through the fence,
[00:19:15] it was at night. It then
[00:19:18] went for a walk here on the territory.
[00:19:21] The broken wooden fence was hastily boarded up. The
[00:19:25] bear made a habit of coming to the apple orchard as if it were a restaurant,
[00:19:28] with an all-inclusive program. The bear broke through
[00:19:31] the fence, well, and apparently decided to feast on
[00:19:35] apples here, that is, it's a repeat. It happened
[00:19:38] before. Well, the traces remained,
[00:19:41] even on the fence, I think, from the wild
[00:19:45] nature. The farm is protected only by a flimsy
[00:19:49] fence, which a two-hundred-kilogram bear
[00:19:51] breaks through without noticing. Well, most likely it was a big bear, because
[00:19:55] before there were cases, smaller
[00:19:58] bears came out, they usually either dig under, or
[00:20:02] break one or two boards, here a whole span was carried away, most
[00:20:05] likely it was a large bear, he... just knocked down the span and
[00:20:08] went through. Denis Valchuk, the city's chief rescuer, to
[00:20:12] whom the locals pray as a savior from the hungry
[00:20:15] beast. We call each other on the phone. If
[00:20:19] they notice something, they call immediately. There were cases when we
[00:20:22] called, when the bear was, as I said, walking in the field.
[00:20:26] That's when it happened. Denis and his
[00:20:29] team of hunters are a rapid response group, a forest
[00:20:33] special forces unit that responds to an alarm signal.
[00:20:36] Here... starting in August, bears began to appear,
[00:20:40] breaking fences, and eating apples,
[00:20:43] meaning, well, citizens turned to us
[00:20:46] with such a situation, I repeat: it was the same
[00:20:50] last year. The difference from last year is the number of bears
[00:20:54] coming to Obaza for prey. Last
[00:20:57] year, only eight individuals were liquidated
[00:21:00] in the city, this year, it's already seven
[00:21:03] here.
[00:21:20] Towers, an orchard, clearly visible in the rifle scope, 30
[00:21:24] hectares and approaches to the farm.
[00:21:26] A bear won't
[00:21:31] just walk straight into the orchard from a distance. It will feed
[00:21:35] somewhere, then leave, rest for
[00:21:39] the day, digest, then come back to the orchard in the evening
[00:21:42] and continue feeding. This is a hunting blind above
[00:21:46] a watering barrel, a convenient observation point and a firing
[00:21:49] line from which they hunt the wild taiga predator. Well,
[00:21:52] in August, we mostly stood guard almost
[00:21:56] every night since the bears started coming into
[00:21:59] the garden. In September, we also stood guard, so this
[00:22:03] blind is personally inhabited by you, right? Yes,
[00:22:07] of course, by me personally, and by all the
[00:22:11] hunters.
[00:22:15] Speaking of the bear invasion, Valera, the guard of the apple orchard,
[00:22:18] is telling it like it is.
[00:22:20] The fact that they came to the city, after all, their number is growing,
[00:22:24] but a bear is an animal that is
[00:22:27] territorial, that is, they have their own territory,
[00:22:31] and apparently there is no longer room for them in the forest, they crawled here, but out of
[00:22:34] desperation. Sipping bitter coffee,
[00:22:37] Valera discusses the economic reasons
[00:22:40] for the bear invasion. It's unprofitable, I think, for
[00:22:43] hunters to do this anymore. I heard
[00:22:46] that... another one,
[00:23:20] this turns out to also scare away with a sound
[00:23:24] signal, a loud one. This is our
[00:23:27] flare gun, so we load
[00:23:29] it, launch it into the sky, it also
[00:23:32] makes a loud bang. When
[00:23:36] night falls in the city,
[00:23:39] the bears wake up, the hunters go out to
[00:23:42] the blinds. When you go out at night, what do you take with
[00:23:45] you? Tea, coffee, sandwiches? Well,
[00:23:49] usually... you don't indulge in heavy food at night, because
[00:23:53] of the noise and all these unnecessary movements. Here, you take
[00:23:56] tea or coffee to drink tea
[00:24:00] when you might get a little cold at night. Well,
[00:24:03] and equipment, hunting gear, everything, weapons,
[00:24:06] ammunition, night vision
[00:24:09] device, well, and a scope, accordingly,
[00:24:12] too. Hunters were armed in August of this year, when the city
[00:24:16] was besieged by bears, a quadcopter appeared. When we
[00:24:20] have the opportunity to use
[00:24:23] a quadcopter, accordingly we do
[00:24:26] flights - here of gardens and the adjacent
[00:24:29] territory, well, and accordingly then
[00:24:33] we don't put a hunter in the blind. A bird with
[00:24:36] a thermal imager in Obaze is more valuable than any
[00:24:38] red book species. For the entire city, there is only one drone, the
[00:24:42] flight of which is watched with hope by all local residents, including
[00:24:46] the head of the settlement. The first day it flew, mhm.
[00:24:50] Scary, it flew over, calmly, checked, none. You see, I'm saying that this
[00:24:53] is very important. Why did you say that we need it not only for the bear, but
[00:24:57] also to make a flyover, check, none nearby. Of course, they go
[00:25:01] fast, but still, we can organize it so that we will fly over the
[00:25:05] borders of Obbaza at some interval. The borders are
[00:25:08] locked. Volunteer hunters guard day and night. The head
[00:25:12] of the city and the chief rescuer of Obaza are always in contact
[00:25:15] with each other and law enforcement agencies. He calls me at night,
[00:25:19] we work like this: he finishes at night, he sends me a
[00:25:22] summary, I write to the residents at 4 am, they all say: when do you all
[00:25:26] sleep? I say, almost never. And in the morning, we all go
[00:25:30] to see where the bear is. Reports of liquidated wild
[00:25:33] predators are updated daily. Within a day, before
[00:25:36] our eyes, four animals were destroyed
[00:25:40] in the city. The time was 4:30.
[00:25:43] He stopped right here. Alyona was woken up by
[00:25:46] an inner voice. She heard dogs barking.
[00:25:50] It turns out, where the cars are parked, the dogs started barking
[00:25:53] loudly, and they barked not as usual, but
[00:25:56] completely differently. Pushing back the curtain,
[00:26:00] the young mother saw.
[00:27:03] At home, Alyona and her children are guarded by
[00:27:05] a East European Shepherd Chara and a mixed breed
[00:27:08] Betty. As a self-defense weapon, the woman bought
[00:27:12] firecrackers. My friend and I have already bought bombs, that
[00:27:15] if they climb into the fence, we will somehow, well, I don't
[00:27:19] know, it's funny now, of course, but that day it was very scary, wild,
[00:27:22] I was shaking so much that I thought my phone would fly out of my hands while I was calling
[00:27:26] 112, it was terrible. In the documentary
[00:27:30] thriller that is currently unfolding in Obaze, the entire
[00:27:33] city is involved. Last year there was no such invasion, no such appearance
[00:27:37] of them right in our houses here, that is, there were no such things on the streets,
[00:27:40] or so they said. But this year they are swimming
[00:27:43] in the Abakan, they will tell us on the streets. The Siberian
[00:27:47] Eastern is developing according to the laws of the genre. The main
[00:27:50] villain is confronted by good guys with weapons. A huge
[00:27:54] thank you to the hunters for responding quickly, and accordingly they came
[00:27:57] and protected us, for thanks. Every evening
[00:28:01] after work on...
[00:28:10] Sergey Tamayakov, director of the unified duty and dispatch
[00:28:13] service of the city of Obaza, communal accidents, broken
[00:28:16] wires, fires, floods, bears on the street, this is for
[00:28:20] him.
[00:28:24] A problem-solving specialist, along with local
[00:28:27] men, goes on a night
[00:28:29] hunt.
[00:28:35] Warning signs flash outside the window: gravel
[00:28:38] on the road, dangerous
[00:28:42] roadside.
[00:28:44] There is no "caution bears" sign for some reason. A very
[00:28:48] dangerous animal, which is
[00:28:51] disproportionate to human strength, much stronger than
[00:28:54] a human, which,
[00:28:57] if you don't have firearms or any other
[00:29:00] means to destroy it, you
[00:29:02] can't cope, it's very dangerous. About what is dangerous and what is not,
[00:29:06] Sergey Emayakov knows firsthand: 24
[00:29:09] years in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, retired with the rank of
[00:29:12] major. For a long time,
[00:29:16] the brown bear population on the territory of
[00:29:18] our, apparently, country or Siberia
[00:29:22] was not properly
[00:29:24] regulated. A big boss fights the bear invasion not in
[00:29:28] his office, drawing up schedules and reports, but with a rifle in hand on a
[00:29:31] night hunt. If it is wounded,
[00:29:35] it, well, probably on adrenaline,
[00:29:38] it doesn't feel pain, it is in
[00:29:41] a state of affect,
[00:29:44] it can run
[00:29:47] with shot internal organs,
[00:29:51] still dozens of meters, and at
[00:29:54] the same time breaking everything in its path,
[00:29:58] destroying.
[00:30:00] That is, there have been such cases more than once, when it ran, they
[00:30:04] approached it, when it was dying, it already had a shot heart
[00:30:07] and internal organs, well, not to mention
[00:30:10] there about the body. While the drone with
[00:30:13] a thermal imager circles over the city in search of a bear, the retired
[00:30:16] major tells how he neutralized a particularly dangerous
[00:30:20] criminal. The guys were coming from that side, Denis
[00:30:23] Olegovich, he was watching us from the quadcopter,
[00:30:26] well, the bear, where it was going, on the radio,
[00:30:30] coordinating... and it runs towards us, that
[00:31:03] is, understanding that we pose a danger to it,
[00:31:06] that it is with the goal, well, as
[00:31:09] they say, it is
[00:31:13] 3-4 meters. Well, probably something
[00:31:16] to kill, a moment, everything was over.
[00:31:20] was a male, a large
[00:31:22] male, who had been
[00:31:26] wounded by some other hunter before us, that is, we
[00:31:30] extracted a bullet
[00:31:33] from his shoulder blades, of the sixteenth caliber, it was a bullet
[00:31:37] that was in the meat and from which his
[00:31:40] shoulder blade
[00:31:42] had already rotted.
[00:31:44] If he once tasted
[00:31:45] human flesh,
[00:31:51] he will never stop, as long as he is alive, he
[00:31:54] will try again to taste this
[00:31:57] flesh. And what makes a
[00:32:00] bear attack a person for the first time? Well, it's
[00:32:03] the instinct of a predator, hunger. Well, I think
[00:32:07] these are some main factors that, well,
[00:32:11] he perceives a person as prey.
[00:32:15] He is not afraid of people at all. So that city residents
[00:32:18] do not become prey, Sergey does what he has to do. They
[00:32:22] have nowhere to go, there are many of them, they want to occupy our territory, where
[00:32:26] we live with you, they plan to live here, they
[00:32:29] were in the city last year,
[00:32:33] all the bears
[00:32:34] dug dens.
[00:32:39] The hunters drag the two-hundred-kilogram carcass
[00:32:42] of the bear by four people. We will skin it here. Because it's
[00:32:46] inconvenient to do it on the bait, we'll damage
[00:32:49] the skin while we drag it. Who gets
[00:32:51] the trophy? Well,
[00:32:55] every hunter who killed
[00:32:58] a bear takes the bear for himself
[00:33:01] and disposes of it
[00:33:05] at his discretion. Have you tasted bear meat?
[00:33:09] How is it? I have tasted it.
[00:33:12] Is it meat?
[00:33:15] So, meat. Three children and his wife are waiting for Sergey at
[00:33:18] home, whose heart is not at ease every time he goes
[00:33:22] hunting. Of course, she worries about
[00:33:25] it, asks him not to
[00:33:28] risk too much.
[00:33:31] Well,
[00:33:33] she worries.

[00:37:28] When trouble knocked on their door with a heavy bear paw, the men
[00:37:32] began to act on the principle, if not us, then who?
[00:37:35] Safety in Obaza is determined not by the number of
[00:37:38] bears that go to the city, but by the ability of local authorities
[00:37:41] and hunters to stop them in time. For this,
[00:37:44] a group of volunteers, 10-15 people,
[00:37:48] those who have a hunting license and a heart
[00:37:51] that aches for the common cause, go on
[00:37:54] a night patrol every day. The wives of the city defenders say: It's easier to meet
[00:37:58] a bear on the street than to find your husband at home.
[00:38:19] It seems this is the case when their wives, their guns
[00:38:22] are loaded.
[00:38:57] at home, on weekends, they see Dad
[00:39:01] only on weekends, at the moment of meeting, her eyes say
[00:39:04] more than any words, she sleeps, of course, very
[00:39:07] little, I don't know how she endures,
[00:39:10] the situation is difficult and tense with
[00:39:12] bears,
[00:39:14] keeps our city completely
[00:39:17] safe, after a night hunt, Anna meets her husband
[00:39:21] as if from a combat mission, I worry, I still worry
[00:39:24] because bears are dangerous.
[00:39:57] from ours, we started repairs
[00:40:01] when our youngest son was just born,
[00:40:05] we managed to do all the rough
[00:40:08] work on the second floor, mm-hmm, well, everything is in progress, our dad
[00:40:12] is constantly working, so everything that
[00:40:15] we manage to do, we do,
[00:40:17] we only managed to do the second floor, a good house,
[00:40:21] a loving wife, healthy children and a plate of hot
[00:40:24] rich cabbage soup with sour cream after a night hunt. What else
[00:40:28] is needed for happiness? What are your plans
[00:40:30] for tonight? Everything as usual.
[00:40:34] 6:00 p.m. briefing,
[00:40:38] dispersal and off we go to work with the hunters. Until
[00:40:41] morning, well, how it goes? Not
[00:40:45] before two, I think. Mom feeds her youngest son Denis
[00:40:49] attentively listens to her husband. The family has
[00:40:52] an old good patriarchy, no eccentricities with
[00:40:55] feminism. Everything that Denis considers
[00:40:59] necessary, I always support him in this, of course,
[00:41:03] and I cannot tell him not to go, because
[00:41:07] he will still go, my job is to
[00:41:09] support him, and Denis makes
[00:41:13] all decisions, absolutely all of them,
[00:41:15] he has such a job, risking
[00:41:19] himself for others - it is more like service, not
[00:41:22] work, we are, in general, military personnel, our life
[00:41:25] is always in such a rhythm.
[00:41:28] Anna, active sergeant of the Russian Guard, Denis, retired
[00:41:32] captain, service in the Caucasus, St. Petersburg
[00:41:35] Military Institute, then Krasnoyarsk and Tomsk, worked
[00:41:39] as...
[00:42:10] this city, Obaza, it's my hometown,
[00:42:30] since I live in
[00:42:34] of course I worry about it too. You worry about all
[00:42:37] the citizens.
[00:42:40] You still think, how would it be if everyone was
[00:42:42] fine. Well, you understand that
[00:42:46] everyone has a family, everyone has children.
[00:42:49] Bad thoughts creep into your head, God forbid something happens. In the eyes
[00:42:53] of his wife and children, Denis is big and strong, like
[00:42:56] a bear, the one that is the symbol
[00:42:58] of Russia.
[00:43:06] Hello, for the oath of allegiance of his eldest daughter Mila, the whole
[00:43:09] family came. We are going to Mila's oath, to her eldest daughter, who is studying
[00:43:13] at the Ministry of Emergency Situations, at the Academy of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in
[00:43:16] Siberia, and David, I will go
[00:43:20] for sure, Mila is waiting for him. The eldest Mila studies
[00:43:23] in Zheleznogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai, the second daughter Eva is in
[00:43:27] Novosibirsk College, at home in Obaza, their parents
[00:43:31] and younger brothers are always waiting for them. Let
[00:43:34] the bear population increase,
[00:43:37] let such a situation develop, but we are home here. This is our
[00:43:41] home, Denis and his team will defend their home until
[00:43:44] the last, as long as they have strength. But if it is twice
[00:43:48] as much as now, then we will still manage, and if
[00:43:51] much more, then we will have to attract some additional
[00:43:55] forces, and what kind of, well, attract other
[00:43:58] hunters, even from the neighboring district, the ancient law of
[00:44:02] the taiga, which helps to survive, one for all,
[00:44:06] all for one, they will not cope, we will go and help them, what's
[00:44:09] the problem. We live in the same republic, here everyone
[00:44:13] is, well, fellow countrymen,
[00:44:17] so to speak,
[00:44:18] the problem is common.
[00:44:23] The master of the taiga changes his residence, moving from the forest
[00:44:27] wilderness to the cities, we decided to make a risky journey along
[00:44:30] the Abakan River to find out how the invasion
[00:44:34] of brown predators affected the tourism business of
[00:44:37] Siberia.
[00:44:41] 43 km/h on a boat with a headwind at zero
[00:44:45] feels like -20, the windproof
[00:44:48] winter uniform of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and a woolen hat over
[00:44:52] the balaclava save us.
[00:44:55] Ignoring the icy wind that hits our eyes,
[00:44:59] we enjoy the views of the pristine Siberian
[00:45:02] nature.
[00:45:07] The mountains have put on their autumn camouflage. The Abakan River
[00:45:10] has become shallow and more dangerous. Behind the foaming rapids
[00:45:14] are hidden warts. This is what they call the stones
[00:45:17] sticking out of the water in these parts, which upon collision can become
[00:45:21] tombstones.
[00:45:27] We cover 160 km upstream in
[00:45:30] 4.5 hours. Half of the way is in complete
[00:45:34] darkness.
[00:45:41] A quad bike meets us
[00:45:42] on the shore.
[00:45:48] In the hunting lodge, the freezing film crew from Moscow is awaited
[00:45:52] by the owner of the tourist base and hot taiga herbal
[00:45:54] tea.
[00:45:58] Alright, guys, welcome,
[00:46:01] Maral soup, a bit of tea, we'll drink it now,
[00:46:04] hot. Maral is a noble deer, for which
[00:46:07] the hunting season is now open.
[00:46:10] The season is open for him from September 1 to September
[00:46:14] 30. It's called the roar, well,
[00:46:17] at rutting, the maral is at rutting.
[00:46:20] So, we're going to eat soup from it now, that is, literally
[00:46:24] the taiga feeds us, well, it turns out that way. Alexandra
[00:46:28] Fedotova has been fed by the taiga since she was 12 years old. Everything that can
[00:46:31] be obtained in the taiga is obtained, and meat
[00:46:34] is obtained, and, well, mushrooms, I don't know, but for an amateur,
[00:46:38] berries, then cooked. Maybe nuts,
[00:46:41] we mainly deal with nuts. This season, both people
[00:46:45] and bears were left without nuts, so they are hungry this
[00:46:49] year, there is nothing to eat, there are no nuts. Most
[00:46:52] likely because of this, well, and the population
[00:46:56] has increased,
[00:47:00] apparently, because of this, it's easier to get food in the city, there
[00:47:04] are all sorts of mountain ash, sea buckthorn, there are these
[00:47:07] fruit trees, they climb there, the master of the taiga, from
[00:47:11] hunger, forgot his pride, began to behave like
[00:47:13] a mongrel, it turns out,
[00:47:17] they somehow crawl closer to settlements,
[00:47:20] where they can kill a dog somewhere, or
[00:47:24] something else, rummage in the garbage in the bins
[00:47:27] like dogs already
[00:47:30] rummage. An experienced hunter says that a hungry
[00:47:33] bear will not sleep all winter
[00:47:37] here. What about the grass? You can't
[00:47:41] get much fat on grass. It's autumn now, they
[00:47:44] need to gain some fat so that they can go into
[00:47:48] hibernation well-fed with
[00:47:50] fat, but they cannot do that.
[00:47:54] Emergency news that brown bears are coming is
[00:47:57] just news for a commercial hunter, like
[00:48:01] a change in weather, he is ready for anything. Let's start with the fact that we
[00:48:05] are hunters ourselves, we don't
[00:48:07] need
[00:48:10] anyone to come, but if they come to help,
[00:48:13] if there is some kind of invasion, like in the city, for example,
[00:48:17] then maybe two or three
[00:48:19] individuals, we can cope with our own efforts
[00:48:23] without problems, so
[00:48:26] it's calm here. The owner
[00:48:30] of the tourist base in the deep taiga invites tourists who do not
[00:48:34] suffer from bear sickness, as they say,
[00:48:37] if you're afraid of the wolf, don't go into the forest, I don't know,
[00:48:40] here at the base, we haven't observed
[00:48:43] any bear exits. Dogs sometimes
[00:48:46] howl at night and bark a little,
[00:48:49] but there are no tracks in the sand anywhere. Alexander
[00:48:53] Vladimirovich tells his personal strategy for developing
[00:48:57] tourism in a distant bear corner. It just
[00:49:00] happened spontaneously,
[00:49:03] it's just that an idea came to mind.
[00:49:05] Everyone has a base, but we don't. Yes, it's
[00:49:09] beautiful here, the places are so amazing,
[00:49:13] the bald mountains are nearby, everything is like that, the river is so
[00:49:16] winding, all like a snake, that's how it
[00:49:19] goes, well, the places here are beautiful, good,
[00:49:23] cheerful. Rumors about hunting lodges,
[00:49:26] lost on the picturesque banks of Obaza, spread like
[00:49:29] an echo in the windless Siberian forest. Well,
[00:49:32] we mainly invest, well, people gradually come,
[00:49:36] so to speak, there's a little movement. And where do they
[00:49:40] come from? They come from different places, from
[00:49:43] Kemerovo, sometimes from
[00:49:46] Moscow, they come.
[00:49:50] From all over Russia, they gradually come and come.
[00:49:57] Morning in the pine forest begins with an excursion, tourists
[00:50:00] are waiting for cedar hunting lodges on two
[00:50:02] floors,
[00:50:07] fire in the stove,
[00:50:10] Russian bath, and also extreme quad bike
[00:50:14] rides.
[00:50:25] Sergey Becker brought us to the base in the protected forests,
[00:50:28] whom we met by chance on a hunt, right there
[00:50:32] when I was just climbing a hill,
[00:50:35] I saw a silhouette, it looked like a bear, I looked through the optics,
[00:50:38] it was a bear, the first shot was accurate
[00:50:42] to the head. Hunter, entrepreneur, local
[00:50:45] deputy, who, along with all those who cared, went on the warpath
[00:50:49] with the bear, well, at the moment it's protection.
[00:51:22] to hunt a bear, at least the same way as with
[00:51:26] a wolf, so that there is regulation for
[00:51:28] the bear, for him the taiga is not scenery in which
[00:51:32] a documentary drama unfolds with bears, but a living
[00:51:36] participant, perhaps even the main character, for
[00:51:39] a real hunter, the attitude to nature is
[00:51:42] to use it exactly
[00:51:46] as much as you need for
[00:51:49] life, that is, as a true man, I believe
[00:51:53] that a man should go and get
[00:51:57] a piece of meat for himself,
[00:52:00] when the meat runs out, he goes and gets
[00:52:02] more.
[00:52:35] You can't smear genes with your finger. He got carried away
[00:52:38] with family history, compiled a tree,
[00:52:41] going back 300 years.
[00:52:44] Here. His ancestors came from
[00:52:48] Germany from Lower
[00:52:51] Saxony,
[00:52:54] to the Volga, to the city of Engels,
[00:52:57] Golovolobovka. In forty-one,
[00:53:01] everyone was exiled.
[00:53:05] Siberia, to the village
[00:53:06] of Son,
[00:53:09] from there they moved to Malye Arbaty, Republic of Khakassia. In
[00:53:13] 1766, Sergey Baker's ancestors
[00:53:16] came from Saxony to serve Russia faithfully and
[00:53:20] truly. His great-grandfather was the elder
[00:53:22] of the community, in the community there were
[00:53:25] 338 people, they were engaged in
[00:53:28] agriculture, farming. Do you consider yourself
[00:53:31] Russian or German? Of course, Russian.
[00:53:35] In 260 years, the family tree of Russian Germans
[00:53:38] has taken root in Siberian soil, because
[00:53:42] all my roots are here, my parents were
[00:53:45] born here, children were born, I have three children,
[00:53:48] two daughters and a son,
[00:53:52] well, and I think they will also stay
[00:53:56] here, I will pass on all my art to them, everything I
[00:53:58] know, hunting, fishing. A hereditary
[00:54:02] hunter sacredly honors the laws of nature. Of course,
[00:54:06] you go hunting with a specific goal, that is, if
[00:54:10] I have a license for a male goat
[00:54:13] older than a year, then I only hunt
[00:54:16] males, we don't touch females. For
[00:54:20] real hunters, a bear is not an enemy, but a part
[00:54:24] of nature, they take the invasion of wild
[00:54:27] animals seriously, but without panic, like forest fires in summer and
[00:54:30] floods in spring. My eldest daughter,
[00:54:33] Evelinochka, went hunting for bears with me twice, really?
[00:54:37] And how were her impressions?
[00:54:40] Tremendous, twice, well, she really went, well,
[00:54:44] of course, we didn't get a bear, I,
[00:54:46] as a good father, took her
[00:54:49] a little further away from the bears, well, and we sat
[00:54:53] in the car, we just needed the effect itself, that while
[00:54:56] the child wants to reach, you need to do everything he wants, so that
[00:55:00] he loves nature and his
[00:55:03] parents, in these parts... a word is more precious than gold,
[00:55:06] stronger than metal, so Siberians speak little, but from
[00:55:10] the heart, if they invite tourists, it's not out of formal
[00:55:13] politeness. Of course we are waiting, because
[00:55:17] few people know about our Khakassia, but the nature here
[00:55:20] is excellent, clean rivers, many
[00:55:23] lakes, alpine
[00:55:25] meadows, all berries, herbs,
[00:55:29] all animals, you can see generally
[00:55:32] everything.
[00:55:34] no need to look, in my opinion, I haven't been to many places here, to go somewhere like Turkey, not Turkey, that is, I'm
[00:55:41] comfortable here, as
[00:55:44] they say, where I was born, there I like it. Sergey Medvedev
[00:55:48] lives in Obaza, in the taiga, to the tourist base, 160
[00:55:51] km from the city, he came to close his license for
[00:55:55] Maral, and most importantly - to relax his soul, well, I periodically come
[00:55:58] here just to relax with my family,
[00:56:01] well, the place is great, we've known each other for a long time. now it's just, well,
[00:56:06] they've opened hunting for Maral and bear, so, well,
[00:56:09] the hunting season in Siberia in general, they say about such people, born with a gun,
[00:56:13] he's been hunting as long as he remembers, it's not a livelihood and not
[00:56:16] a hobby, but a part of his character, Siberian character is
[00:56:19] endurance,
[00:56:21] determination, like resilience to
[00:56:24] all, so to speak, life's moments.
[00:56:27] Sergey is a hereditary Cossack, one of those who
[00:56:31] submitted. will cope, happiness is not far away, it's here, in
[00:56:43] these mountains, happiness, and that's when it's
[00:56:46] peaceful in your soul, happiness,
[00:56:49] happiness, are you happy now, at this moment,
[00:56:53] yes.
[00:56:55] And the river flows and
[00:56:57] a new turn, and the blood in my
[00:57:01] veins flows and... From my fathers, and
[00:57:05] the river flows, and
[00:57:08] the river flows.
[00:57:10] And the river flows and a new
[00:57:13] turn, blood in my veins
[00:57:17] flows, from grandfathers and fathers, and
[00:57:20] the river flows, and the river flows.
[00:58:03] Do you know that space is full of dangers, cosmic
[00:58:07] radiation, temperature fluctuations? I am Natalya
[00:58:10] Cherkashina, a scientist, we are developing unique materials for
[00:58:13] protecting astronauts in orbit and here, and go. It's scientifically
[00:58:18] proven that nothing is cooler than science, choose scientific specialties.
