[00:00:00] They remembered the principles of
[00:00:01] democracy.
[00:00:04] It's certainly not up to Donald Trump to dictate the electoral calendar of a
[00:00:08] sovereign state, which Ukraine is. In Estonia,
[00:00:11] they even proposed to increase aid to Ukraine as quickly as possible so that it could
[00:00:15] continue to strike Russian refineries, if only to somehow
[00:00:19] spite Washington. Anna Voronina, Matvey Popov,
[00:00:22] Vesti. The largest sea disaster
[00:00:25] in terms of casualties this year occurred off the coast of the African state of
[00:00:29] Djibouti. A boat capsized, carrying more than 300
[00:00:33] migrants. 109 people died, and more than 110
[00:00:36] went missing. Only about 80 people were rescued.
[00:00:40] The search operation in the disaster area continues. Let me remind you,
[00:00:44] routes from East Africa through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait
[00:00:47] and Yemen to Saudi Arabia
[00:00:51] нелегальных мигрантов. По данным ООН в прошлом году на этом маршруте
[00:00:55] погибли более 900
[00:00:56] year. Russia called
[00:01:08] on the conflict participants to abandon
[00:01:12] Я напомню, ранее, еменское движение Хуситов нанесло ракетный удар по
[00:01:15] воздушной гавани, жертвами стали 12 человек, пострадали
[00:01:19] 309, некоторые находятся в критическом состоянии. Сейчас
[00:01:23] Хуситы призывают отменить авиарейцы в Саудовскую Аравию объявили аэропорты
[00:01:26] королевства своими целями.
[00:04:42] видео катастрофического паводка в Непале в районе
[00:04:46] on social media. This morning, a
[00:04:49] bridge, two
[00:04:52] pedestrian
[00:04:55] 10 people are missing in
[00:04:59] зоне бедствия.
[00:09:31] in Russia, bears walk
[00:09:35] улыбку западный штамп осенью 2026 стал
[00:09:38] пугающе соответствовать реальности.
[00:09:44] Yes, this is concrete
[00:09:47] продолжают атаковать жителей Иркутской области, Красноярского,
[00:09:51] Алтайского края и Хакасия.
[00:09:54] This is something
[00:09:58] также всё чаще стали выходить к людям на Урале. В районе
[00:10:01] Ивделя, Свердловской области, разярённый хищник забрёл на
[00:10:05] парковку повредил около десяти
[00:10:07] автомобилей.
[00:10:11] Who tried to push them everywhere. According to the Ministry of Natural
[00:10:15] последние 36 лет численность бурых хищников в России
[00:10:19] выросла почти в 2 с половиной
[00:10:21] раза.
[00:10:25] If in 1990,
[00:10:29] Советского Союза состояло 130.000
[00:10:32] медведей, то в 2026 их уже под
[00:10:36] 308.000. Это тот случай, когда не
[00:10:40] цеплят, а медведи по осени считают. В настоящее время в
[00:10:44] Хакасии насчитывается 2.246
[00:10:47] косолапых хищников. С 2022 года
[00:10:51] их численность увеличилась на 609 особей.
[00:10:54] These are
[00:10:57] неофициальные, не знает никто. Охотники
[00:11:00] говорят, в реальности эта цифра выше, минимум процентов на
[00:11:04] 20. Медведи выходят на большую
[00:11:07] дорогу.
[00:11:15] Footage of chance encounters, filmed on
[00:11:18] интернет. Очередная машина сейчас остановится будет
[00:11:21] его снимать, будет ему бросать еду.
[00:11:27] Some are ready to feed
[00:11:31] предупреждают о смертельной опасности, корми его, ты
[00:11:34] его кормишь-то блин, а он потом к людям подходит, одна конфету
[00:11:38] бросила, другая кусок хлеба, вот где мозги блин у людей, а потом он
[00:11:42] выходит в посёлки, начинает вот так же ходить по
[00:11:45] помойкам и драть собак и людей, которые послабже.
[00:11:48] Медведь отвоёвывает у людей новые
[00:11:51] территории.
[00:11:59] The struggle for living space
[00:12:02] на дальнем
[00:12:03] Востоке.
[00:12:10] In the Republic of Khakassia, bears
[00:12:14] the locality of Obaza, they don't
[00:12:18] буквальном смысле взяли город в осаду. Вы знаете, наверное,
[00:12:21] simply put, there are just too many
[00:12:25] Demographic growth occurred against
[00:12:28] орехов, ну основной ареал пропитания у медведя - это
[00:12:31] from them, it turns out, but
[00:12:35] нынче с орехом беда, ореха
[00:12:38] нет, медведь голодный, на траве жира много не
[00:12:42] нагуляет, получается,
[00:12:45] therefore
[00:12:48] жизни в тайге упал ниже плинтуса, за лучшей долей
[00:12:52] голодные хищники спускаются с гор в население.
[00:13:29] not a single case of animal attack on humans has been recorded, but this is not because the bears behave like well-behaved
[00:13:32] volunteer hunters
[00:13:35] останавливают зверя на подступах к населённому
[00:13:38] пункту. Неоднократно были здесь ликвидированы медведи,
[00:13:42] порядка семи особей здесь было ликвидировано в этом
[00:13:45] began in August
[00:13:48] закончится с наступлением холодов, когда медведь уйдёт
[00:13:52] if...
[00:13:56] I wouldn't want our children, yours and mine, who are going to school, to be eaten by a bear, so I'm doing
[00:14:00] this, hunting at night, going to
[00:14:03] morning, how the
[00:14:06] добровольческий отряд, вставший на оборону
[00:14:09] города,
[00:14:12] what birds hunt
[00:14:14] медведя,
[00:14:18] вместе с охотниками мы прошли 160 км вверх по
[00:14:22] реке Абакан, чтобы узнать, что такое?
[00:14:25] счастья и где его найти? счастье, а
[00:14:28] это, когда в душе спокойно всё,
[00:14:31] happiness, happiness. This
[00:14:35] а о людях, тех, кто живёт в осаждённом городе и тех, кто
[00:14:39] их защищает.
[00:14:58] In the besieged city, this is what the fortress wall looks like. This
[00:15:02] week, a bear apparently, well it was at
[00:15:05] night, broke through the fence, apparently,
[00:15:09] went for a stroll here on
[00:15:12] wooden fence, hastily boarded
[00:15:16] медведь повадился как в столовую, по программе, всё
[00:15:19] with apples, that is, how it
[00:15:25] was before,
[00:15:28] well, the traces remain, even here
[00:15:30] on the fence of claws.
[00:15:32] the bear breaks through without noticing. Well, most likely it was
[00:15:42] a big bear, because before that there were cases
[00:15:45] of smaller bears coming out, they usually either dig
[00:15:49] one or two boards, here a whole section
[00:15:53] was a large bear, he just knocked
[00:15:56] down the section and passed through. Denis Valchuk, the city's chief rescuer,
[00:16:00] Вальчук, главный спасатель города, на которого местные
[00:16:03] We call each other
[00:16:06] by phone, if we notice
[00:16:10] anything, we call immediately, there were cases when we called that
[00:16:13] in the field,
[00:16:16] that was
[00:16:19] команда охотников - это группа быстрого реагирования, лесной
[00:16:23] спецназ, который выезжает по сигналу тревоги.
[00:16:26] Here - starting in August, bears began to appear,
[00:16:29] eating apples,
[00:16:32] us.
[00:16:35] such a situation repeats itself,
[00:16:38] that last year, the difference from
[00:16:42] прошлым годом в количестве медведей, которые идут в обозу за
[00:16:45] year, a total of
[00:16:49] восемь особей ликвидировано на территории города, в
[00:16:52] seven here. from a five-meter high stand,
[00:17:09] the fruit orchard is clearly visible
[00:17:12] в оптике карабина 30 га и подходы к
[00:17:15] фермерскому
[00:17:16] the bear won't go straight into the garden from afar,
[00:17:21] he'll eat somewhere,
[00:17:25] day,
[00:17:29] отлежался, переварил, вечером опять пришёл в сад,
[00:17:32] eating, this is a hunting
[00:17:35] convenient observation post,
[00:17:39] огневой рубеж, с которого добывают дикого таёжного
[00:17:42] хищника. Ну в августе мы в основном
[00:17:44] every night since
[00:17:48] медведи начали выходить в сад, в сентябре
[00:17:51] тоже дежурили, то есть эта заситка вот лично вами-то
[00:17:55] обжитая, да, конечно, и лично мной,
[00:17:58] охотниками все тут побывали на
[00:18:01] it.
[00:18:05] Speaking of the bear invasion, the watchman.
[00:18:27] he's a territorial animal, meaning they have their own territory, and apparently there's no more space for them in the forest, so they crawled here, but out of desperation, sipping bitter coffee, Valera reflects on
[00:18:30] the economic reasons for the bear invasion,
[00:18:33] it's unprofitable, I think, for
[00:18:36] a permit
[00:18:39] costs 15,000 specifically for one
[00:18:42] медведя, на один месяц она даётся,
[00:18:46] if you don't even kill that bear, that permit burns out
[00:18:50] тебя. На ферме Валеры работает посменно с отцом два
[00:18:53] через два, рабочий день с 8ми до 8сьми, потом вместе с
[00:18:57] well, he says, well, the
[00:19:01] thing is, it's a dangerous
[00:19:04] anything can happen...
[00:19:08] means of self-defense are always at
[00:19:10] рукой, это получается,
[00:19:14] отпугивает тоже как звуковым сигналом, вот
[00:19:17] громким, это у нас
[00:19:19] ракетница, то есть заряжаем, в небо
[00:19:22] пускаем, также и звуковой сигнал издаёт громкий
[00:19:26] хлопок. Когда в городе наступает ночь,
[00:19:29] просыпаются медведи, охотники выходят на
[00:19:32] заситки. А в ночь, когда выходите, чего берёте с
[00:19:35] собой, чай, кофе,?
[00:20:50] did it, looked, none nearby, it's clear that they move fast,
[00:20:53] идут, но всё равно они же, мы же можем так организоваться, что будем через
[00:20:57] so often, that's it, the borders are
[00:21:00] замке охотники-добровольцы держат днём и ночью, глава
[00:21:04] города и главный спасатель обазы всегда на связи,
[00:21:07] друг с другом и силовыми ведомствами, мне ночью
[00:21:11] звонит, мы с ним работаем так, он ночью заканчивает, мне
[00:21:14] сводку бросает, я в 4 утра пишу для жителей, они все говорят, вы когда все
[00:21:18] спите, я говорю, да почти нет. а мы утром все заходим быстренько
[00:21:22] смотреть где медведь сводки ликвидированных диких
[00:21:25] хищников обновляются ежедневно, за сутки на
[00:21:28] наших глазах в городе было уничтожено сразу
[00:21:32] четыре зверя, время было 4:30,
[00:21:35] остановился он прямо вот здесь, алёну разбудил
[00:21:38] внутренний голос и лай собак, услышала, что собаки лаят,
[00:21:42] получается, вот где машины стоят, там залаяли
[00:21:45] сильно собаки, а залаяли так, что не как обычно, а ну совсем
[00:21:48] по-другому, а то...
[00:22:03] for the blanket, ran away to the children's room, my little one
[00:22:07] меня не спала уже, старший спал, схватив
[00:22:10] сонных детей в охапку, Алёна набрала 112, я
[00:22:14] начала звонить 112, быстренько вызвала в
[00:22:17] течение 5-7 минут охотник.
[00:22:35] Sonya this year lives with an amendment to the bear
[00:22:38] ними, с маленькой я не выхожу вообще, старшего вот
[00:22:41] выпускаю, когда сама иду собак кормить или хозяйство всё, а
[00:22:45] так нет, мы дома, то есть на улицу сына не
[00:22:48] выпускаете, это страшно, что какая улица может
[00:22:52] быть, дома, Алёну с детьми охраняет
[00:22:55] восточно-европейская овчарка, чара
[00:22:58] имети, в качестве оружия самообороны, женщина
[00:23:02] купила петарды, мы уже с подружкой приобрели
[00:23:05] бомбочки, что если они полезут в ограду, мы будем как-то их,
[00:23:08] ну я не знаю, сейчас-то конечно смешно, но в той день было очень страшно,
[00:23:12] дико, меня колошматила так, что я думала, у меня телефон с рук вылетит, пока я звонила в
[00:23:16] it was awful.
[00:23:28] specifically into our houses here, that is, on
[00:23:31] said, but now they are swimming
[00:23:35] the Siberian Western
[00:23:38] развивается по законам жанра, главному злодею противостоят
[00:23:42] huge thanks to the hunters for responding
[00:23:45] быстро отреагировали и соответственно приехали и обезопасили
[00:23:49] нас. за спасибо, каждый вечер после работы на
[00:23:52] Медведя идут охотники-добровольцы, включая местное
[00:23:55] начальство.
[00:24:00] Sergey Tamayakov, director of
[00:24:03] службы города Обазе. Коммунальные аварии, обрыв
[00:24:07] проводов, пожары, наводнения, медведи на улице, это к
[00:24:10] нему.
[00:24:14] A problem-solving
[00:24:17] мужиками выезжает на ночную охоту.
[00:24:25] Warning signs flash outside the window: gravel
[00:24:28] dangerous
[00:24:32] shoulder,
[00:24:35] for some reason, it's a very
[00:24:38] which
[00:24:41] is incomparable to
[00:24:45] who,
[00:24:47] if you don't have firearms
[00:24:50] средств для него уничтожения, ты с ним никак не справишься, это очень
[00:24:54] опасно, о том, что опасно, а что нет, Сергей
[00:24:57] Эмаяков знает непонаслышке, 24 года в МВД,
[00:25:01] на пенсию ушёл в звании майора. На протяжении длительного
[00:25:05] времени, должным образом не проводилось
[00:25:08] регулирование численности,
[00:25:10] Бурого медведя на
[00:25:12] территории
[00:25:15] Siberia was not
[00:25:18] нашествием медведей борется. не в кабинете, составляя графики и
[00:25:22] отчёты, с карабином в руках на ночной охоте, если
[00:25:25] he is wounded, he is probably
[00:25:28] на адреналине, он не чувствует боли,
[00:25:31] he is in a
[00:25:35] аффекта, он может
[00:25:37] пробежать с простреленными внутренними органами,
[00:25:41] ещё не один десяток метров, и при
[00:25:45] этом сломав всё на своём пути,
[00:25:48] so there have been such cases more than once
[00:25:52] already, when he ran, they approached
[00:25:55] and
[00:25:59] internal organs, not to mention
[00:26:02] While a drone with a thermal imager circles over
[00:26:06] в отставке рассказывает, как обезвреживал особо
[00:26:09] The guys were coming from that side,
[00:26:13] Denis Olegovich, he
[00:26:16] bear, where he was heading, by
[00:26:20] радиостанции, координировал наши
[00:26:23] действия, влево облетай, чтобы их видно
[00:26:26] было и яблоню. Мы стояли
[00:26:29] без света, то есть в кремешной темноте.
[00:26:33] So as not to scare
[00:26:36] "Light up," that means turn on the attached
[00:26:40] is, we make
[00:26:44] выстрелы, на повал нам не получилось
[00:26:47] outright, the wounded beast rushed at
[00:26:50] охотников, медведь разворачивается и
[00:26:53] is, understanding that we
[00:26:56] that with
[00:27:00] the goal, well, as they say, what's
[00:27:03] well, probably something
[00:27:06] убить, мгновение, всё было кончено, это
[00:27:10] was a male, a large
[00:27:13] who had already been
[00:27:16] до нас ранен каким-то другим охотником, то есть у него мы
[00:27:20] извлекли пулю
[00:27:24] с лопаток шестнадцатого калибра, пуля была,
[00:27:27] которая находилась в мясе и которая от которой уже у него
[00:27:30] загнила там эта... падка, раненый зверь
[00:27:34] воспринимал человека как угрозу и как добычу,
[00:27:37] my personal opinion, if he once
[00:27:41] человека, он никогда уже не остановится, пока он жив, он
[00:27:45] будет пытаться вновь его попробовать этот
[00:27:48] вкус, а что заставляет первый раз
[00:27:51] напасть на человека медведя, ну это
[00:27:53] a predator's instinct,
[00:27:57] вот эти какие-то факторы основные,
[00:28:00] that, well... he perceives humans as
[00:28:04] добычу, он человека не боится абсолютно, чтобы
[00:28:08] жители города не стали добычей, Сергей делает то, что
[00:28:11] he must. They have nowhere to go, there are
[00:28:15] территорию, где проживаем мы с вами, они планируют тут
[00:28:18] жить, они в черте города в прошлом
[00:28:21] году, берлоги все копали
[00:28:24] медведи.
[00:28:29] The hunters
[00:28:33] его здесь обдерём, потому что на приваде
[00:28:36] его неудобно, шкуру
[00:28:39] повредим, пока дотащим, трофей кому
[00:28:42] Well,
[00:28:45] каждый охотник, который добыл
[00:28:48] медведя, он его забирает медведя
[00:28:50] for himself
[00:28:53] и распоряжается им на своё усмотрение, а вы
[00:28:57] пробовали медвежатину на вкус, как это, я
[00:29:00] пробовал.
[00:29:04] Well, meat is meat, after
[00:29:07] ждут трое детей и жена, у которой сердце не на месте всякий раз,
[00:29:11] когда он идёт на зверя, она конечно волнуется по
[00:29:15] этому поводу, просит излишнее не
[00:29:18] рисковать,
[00:29:34] отпуска. И сколько дюймов нужно для счастья? 85.

[00:32:02] A bun with sesame seeds, two cutlets with
[00:32:06] onions, special sauce, cheese, salad,
[00:32:09] cucumbers,
[00:32:12] two slices of bacon, juicy taste, legendary
[00:32:15] zone, and this is a Big Hit, only at Vkusno i
[00:32:19] Tochka.
[00:32:21] The first rule of the VTB Entrepreneurs' Club is to tell everyone about the VTB Entrepreneurs' Club.
[00:32:25] Recommend a VTB business account and get up to
[00:32:28] 72,000 rubles. Open an account for business at
[00:32:30] VTB.RF. Reliable gigabit
[00:32:34] internet, Domruware routers,
[00:32:38] catch the gigabit wave with Domru
[00:32:41] Wave. Every hunter wants
[00:32:45] to buy that very thing on Avito's resale.
[00:32:48] What if it's mine?
[00:32:52] To get this, and what no longer fits can always be
[00:32:55] sold, and this will be a good story.
[00:32:58] Re-sell on Avito easily change and swap, even with
[00:33:02] fitting. Open your first deposit at
[00:33:04] 20% up to 300,000
[00:33:07] rubles.
[00:33:16] When trouble knocked on their door with a heavy bear paw,
[00:33:20] the men began to act on the principle, if not
[00:33:23] us, then who? Safety in Obaz is determined not by the number of
[00:33:26] bears that come to the city, but by the ability of local authorities
[00:33:30] and hunters to stop them in time. For this,
[00:33:33] every day a group of volunteers, about 10-15 people,
[00:33:36] who have a hunting license and a heart
[00:33:40] that aches for the common cause, go on night patrol.
[00:33:43] The wives of the defenders of the city say it's easier to meet
[00:33:47] a bear on the street than to find your husband at home.
[00:34:08] It seems this is the case where their wives' rifles
[00:34:11] are loaded.
[00:35:15] It's still a dangerous animal, yes, it's
[00:35:18] when everything is under control, everyone sleeps, the whole city sleeps
[00:35:21] peacefully, this is certainly a big deal.
[00:35:25] Yes, but I'm still worried about my husband, about
[00:35:28] the hunters, because it's generally hard
[00:35:31] work, very hard. Anna has long accepted the fact that her husband
[00:35:35] lives not for himself. The commander of the volunteer hunting
[00:35:38] squad deals with house renovations in his spare time
[00:35:42] from the bears. We didn't buy the house, the house was left
[00:35:45] to us by our parents.
[00:35:49] We started renovating when our youngest son
[00:35:53] was just born. We managed to do all the rough
[00:35:56] work on the second floor. Uh-huh, well, everything is in progress. Our dad
[00:36:00] is constantly working, so everything we
[00:36:03] manage to do, we do.
[00:36:06] We only managed to do the second floor. A good house,
[00:36:09] a loving wife, healthy children, and a plate of hot
[00:36:12] rich cabbage soup with sour cream after...
[00:36:16] What more do you need for happiness? What are your plans for tonight?
[00:36:20] Everything as usual.
[00:36:23] 6 PM meeting, briefing and
[00:36:26] off they go. Working with the hunters until
[00:36:30] morning. Well, as it goes, not
[00:36:34] before two, I think. Mom feeds her youngest son, Denis
[00:36:37] listens carefully to his wife. The family has an old-fashioned
[00:36:41] patriarchy, no oddities with feminism. Everything
[00:36:45] Denis deems necessary, I always
[00:36:49] support him in it, of course,
[00:36:51] and I can't tell him not to go, because
[00:36:55] he will go anyway. My job is
[00:36:57] to support him, and Denis makes
[00:37:01] all decisions absolutely. He
[00:37:04] has such a job, risking
[00:37:07] himself for others - it's more of a service than
[00:37:10] a job. We are, in general, military personnel. Our whole life
[00:37:14] has always been in such a rhythm, right? Anna,
[00:37:17] active sergeant of Rosgvardia. Denis, retired
[00:37:20] captain. Service in the Caucasus, St. Petersburg
[00:37:23] Military Institute, then Krasnoyarsk and Tomsk. Well,
[00:38:17] naturally, since
[00:38:19] I live in this city, Obaz, it's my hometown,
[00:38:23] naturally I worry about it too, about the citizens, about everyone. You worry,
[00:38:26] you still think about how to make
[00:38:30] sure everyone is well.
[00:38:32] Well, you understand that everyone has a family, everyone has
[00:38:36] children. Bad thoughts creep into your head, God
[00:38:40] forbid something happens. In the eyes of his wife and children, Denis
[00:38:43] is big and strong, like a bear, the one that is a symbol
[00:38:46] of Russia.
[00:38:53] Hello, for the oath of allegiance of his eldest daughter Mila,
[00:38:57] the whole family came. We are going to Mila's oath of allegiance, to our eldest daughter, who is studying
[00:39:01] at the Ministry of Emergency Situations, at the Academy of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in
[00:39:05] Siberia. And David, I will go
[00:39:08] for sure. Mila is waiting for him. The elder Mila studies
[00:39:12] in Zheleznogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai. The second daughter Eva is at
[00:39:15] Novosibirsk College. At home in Obazi, their
[00:39:19] parents and younger brothers always wait for them. Let the
[00:39:22] number of bears increase. Let such a
[00:39:26] situation develop, but... we are at home here, this is our
[00:39:29] home. Denis and his team will defend their home until
[00:39:33] the last, as long as they have the strength. But if there are twice
[00:39:36] as many as now, then we can still cope. And if
[00:39:40] there are much more, then we will have to attract some additional
[00:39:43] forces. What kind? Well, attract other
[00:39:47] hunters, even from the neighboring district.
[00:39:50] The ancient law of the taiga, which helps survive, one for all
[00:39:54] and all for one. They will not cope, we will go to him...
[00:40:24] how the invasion of brown predators affected the tourism business in Siberia.
[00:40:29] 43 km/h on a boat against the wind at zero
[00:40:33] feels like -20. What saves us is
[00:40:36] the windproof winter uniform of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and a wool hat over the
[00:40:40] balaclava.
[00:40:44] Ignoring the icy wind that beats against our eyes,
[00:40:48] we enjoy the views of the pristine Siberian
[00:40:50] nature.
[00:41:04] Beyond the frothing rapids are warts, as the locals call the stones sticking out of the water,
[00:41:07] which, upon collision, can become
[00:41:10] tombstones.
[00:41:15] 160 km upstream takes us 4 and a
[00:41:19] half hours, half the way in complete
[00:41:22] darkness.
[00:41:29] A quad bike meets
[00:41:30] us on the shore.
[00:41:36] In the hunting lodge, the freezing film crew from Moscow is met
[00:41:40] by the owner of the tourist base and hot tea from taiga
[00:41:43] herbs.
[00:41:47] All right, guys, welcome.
[00:41:50] Maral soup, tea, we'll drink it now,
[00:41:52] hot. Maral is a noble deer, for which
[00:41:56] the hunting season is now open. The hunting season is open for
[00:41:59] him, from September 1st to September
[00:42:02] 30th. It's called "Narev",
[00:42:06] well, in the rut, maral in the rut, so,
[00:42:09] from him. We'll eat shurpa now, so in a direct sense,
[00:42:12] the taiga feeds, well, it turns out so. Alexandra
[00:42:16] Fedotova, the taiga has fed her since she was 12 years old. Everything that
[00:42:19] can be obtained in the taiga is obtained, meat
[00:42:22] is obtained, and well, mushrooms, I don't know, but
[00:42:25] for an amateur, berries there for jam, maybe
[00:42:29] nuts, we mainly deal with nuts. This season
[00:42:32] people and bears were left without nuts,
[00:42:36] they are hungry, there is nothing to eat this year, no
[00:42:39] nuts. Most likely because of
[00:42:42] this, well, and the population
[00:42:45] has increased.
[00:42:49] Apparently, that's why it's easier to find food in the city, there are all sorts of mountain ash, sea buckthorn,
[00:42:52] there are these fruit trees, they climb
[00:42:55] there. The owner of the Taiga, from hunger, forgot his pride, started
[00:42:59] behaving like a mongrel,
[00:43:02] it turns out, so they
[00:43:05] climb closer to settlements.
[00:43:09] Somewhere they might kill a dog, somewhere else,
[00:43:12] rummage in a garbage dump, dig
[00:43:16] through garbage bins like
[00:43:19] dogs. An experienced hunter says that a hungry
[00:43:23] bear won't sleep all winter on an empty stomach.
[00:43:26] What is it for them? Grass.
[00:43:29] You won't gain much fat on grass. It's autumn now, they
[00:43:33] need to put on some fat so that they can
[00:43:37] hibernate well-fed and with fat.
[00:43:40] They cannot do this. Emergency news about
[00:43:44] brown bears coming is the same news for a commercial hunter
[00:43:48] as a change in weather. He is prepared for
[00:43:51] everything. Let's start with the fact that we ourselves are hunters,
[00:43:55] so we don't need
[00:43:58] someone to come here, but if they come to help, if
[00:44:02] there is some kind of invasion, as for example in the city, then maybe
[00:44:06] two or three individuals.
[00:44:10] We can handle it with our own forces without
[00:44:13] problems. So
[00:44:15] it's calm here. The owner of
[00:44:19] the tourist base in the remote taiga invites tourists who do not
[00:44:22] suffer from bear sickness, as the saying goes, if you're afraid of the wolf, don't
[00:44:26] go into the forest. I don't know, here at our base
[00:44:30] we haven't observed any
[00:44:33] bear sightings. At night, the dogs sometimes raise a howl
[00:44:37] and bark a bit, but there are no tracks.
[00:44:48] It happened spontaneously like that,
[00:44:51] it's just that the idea suddenly came
[00:44:54] to mind. Everyone has a base, we don't.
[00:44:57] Yes, it's beautiful here,
[00:45:01] the places are so amazing, the goltsy
[00:45:04] are nearby, everything is so, the river is so winding, all
[00:45:07] like a snake, it goes like that. Well, the places here are beautiful,
[00:45:11] good, cheerful. Rumors of
[00:45:15] hunting lodges, lost on the picturesque banks
[00:45:18] of Obaze, spread like an echo in the windless
[00:45:21] Siberian forest. Well, mostly we invest, well, people come little
[00:45:25] by little, it's like, there's a little
[00:45:28] movement. And where do they come from?
[00:45:32] From different places, from Kemerovo,
[00:45:35] sometimes from Moscow, they come,
[00:45:38] from all over Russia, these.
[00:45:45] Morning in the pine forest begins with an excursion. Tourists are offered
[00:45:49] cedar hunting lodges on two
[00:45:51] floors,
[00:45:56] fire in the stove,
[00:45:59] a Russian bathhouse, and also extreme quad biking
[00:46:02] trips.
[00:46:13] Sergey Becker brought us to the base in the protected forests. We met
[00:46:17] by chance on
[00:46:19] a hunt.
[00:46:23] I see a silhouette, it looks like a bear. I looked through the scope,
[00:46:27] it was a bear. The first shot was accurate
[00:46:31] in the head. Hunter, entrepreneur, local
[00:46:34] deputy, who, along with all concerned citizens, embarked on the warpath
[00:46:38] with the bear. This is protecting the city,
[00:46:41] protecting your children, and
[00:46:44] that's a hobby. The people's choice prepares a bear
[00:46:48] trap in the form of a legislative initiative. I think
[00:46:51] we should be allowed to hunt.
[00:47:08] by the state. If they allow us to hunt
[00:47:11] bears, at least the same way as with
[00:47:14] wolves, so that there is regulation for
[00:47:17] bears. For him, the taiga is not a backdrop
[00:47:20] for a documentary.
[00:47:27] For a true hunter, the attitude towards nature
[00:47:30] is to use it exactly
[00:47:34] as much as you need for
[00:47:38] life. That is, as a true man, I
[00:47:41] believe that a man should go and
[00:47:45] get a piece of meat for himself.
[00:47:48] When the meat runs out, go and get more.
[00:47:53] Of course, at the time when hunting is allowed,
[00:47:56] the season for hunting animals is open. At home, Sergey's
[00:47:59] catch is awaited by six children, his wife, three
[00:48:03] children, and his
[00:48:04] parents.
[00:48:08] The whole family of Siberians makes dumplings with maral
[00:48:11] meat filling. You're going to make these dumplings now,
[00:48:15] thank you. Looking at his eldest daughter Evelina, the others
[00:48:19] don't lag behind, seven-year-old Milana and three-year-old Sasha. As
[00:48:22] they say, genes can't be smeared with a finger.
[00:48:26] Fascinated by the family history, he drew up a family tree,
[00:48:29] going back 300 years. His
[00:48:33] ancestors came from
[00:48:36] Germany, from Lower
[00:48:39] Saxony,
[00:48:43] to the Volga, to the city of Engels,
[00:48:46] Golovolobovka. In forty-one,
[00:48:50] everyone was exiled.
[00:49:22] Of course, to Russians. In 260 years,
[00:49:25] the family tree of Russian Germans has grown roots into the Siberian
[00:49:29] land. Because all my roots are here,
[00:49:33] my parents were born here, my children
[00:49:35] were born, I have three children, two daughters and
[00:49:39] a son. Well, and I think
[00:49:42] they will also stay here. I will pass on all
[00:49:45] my skills to them, everything I know, hunting,
[00:49:49] fishing. A hereditary hunter sacredly observes
[00:49:53] the laws of nature. Of course, you go hunting with a
[00:49:56] specific purpose. That is, if I have a permit for
[00:50:00] a male goat older than a year, then I
[00:50:04] only hunt males.
[00:50:07] I don't touch females. For true hunters,
[00:50:10] a bear is not an enemy, but a part of nature. They take the
[00:50:13] invasion of wild animals seriously, but without panic,
[00:50:17] like forest fires in summer and floods in spring. My eldest
[00:50:20] daughter, Evilinocka, went bear hunting with me twice.
[00:50:24] Really? And what were her
[00:50:27] impressions? Tremendous. She really
[00:50:30] went twice, but of course, we didn't get
[00:50:33] a bear. As a good
[00:50:36] father, I took her a little further away from
[00:50:39] the bears. Well, we were sitting in the car. It was just about
[00:50:43] the effect. While the child wants to reach out, you need
[00:50:46] to do everything he wants, so that he loves both
[00:50:50] nature and his parents. In these parts, a word
[00:50:54] is worth more than gold, stronger than metal. That's why Siberians
[00:50:57] say little, but from the heart. And if they invite
[00:51:00] tourists, it's not out of formal politeness. Of course we
[00:51:03] are waiting, because not many people know about our Khakassia,
[00:51:07] but the nature here is excellent, clean
[00:51:10] rivers, many lakes, alpine
[00:51:14] meadows, all berries, herbs,
[00:51:18] all animals, you can see absolutely
[00:51:20] everything. And... we have something to see, you don't need to go,
[00:51:24] well, as for me, I haven't been to many places here,
[00:51:28] to go somewhere to Turkey, not Turkey. That is, I feel
[00:51:31] comfortable here, as they say, where I was born, there I
[00:51:35] like it. Sergey Medvedev lives in Obaz, in the Taiga at
[00:51:38] the tourist base 160 km from the city. He
[00:51:41] came to close his maral license, and most importantly, to relax
[00:51:45] his soul. Well, theoretically, I come here simply to relax with my
[00:51:49] family, it's a great place with friends. We've known each other
[00:51:53] for a long time. Now, the maral and bear
[00:51:56] hunting season has just opened, so it's a hunting
[00:52:00] season in Siberia. They say about such people that they were born with a rifle.
[00:52:03] How long has he been hunting? It's not a livelihood or
[00:52:06] a hobby, but a part of his character. Siberian character
[00:52:10] is
[00:52:12] endurance, determination, and resilience to
[00:52:16] all, how can I say, life moments.
[00:52:19] Sergey is a hereditary Cossack, one of those who
[00:52:22] conquered Siberia. The bear invasion is not an emergency for him,
[00:52:26] but another challenge of the endless taiga, with which
[00:52:29] Siberians will certainly cope. And happiness
[00:52:32] is not far away, it's here. In these mountains,
[00:52:36] happiness. And that's when everything is calm
[00:52:40] in your soul. Happiness, happiness.
[00:52:44] Are you happy now, at this moment,
