No matter how hard the current bourgeois authorities tried for several decades to convince people that socialism as a system has become obsolete and completely untenable, and capitalism is the only true and fair political system that will lead humanity to heaven on earth, but the factual circumstances and the situation to which the power of capital has led argue the opposite! At the end of June 2019 in the Irkutsk region, the governor of which is pseudo-communist S.G. Levchenko (First Secretary of the Irkutsk Regional Committee of the Communist Party, member of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Communist Party), there was a massive flooding of settlements in the Irkutsk region. The city of Tulun and the surrounding territories to this city were completely flooded. According to official figures, 11 people died due to this disaster. According to unofficial data, manyingore died (but the real figures are deliberately hidden by the authorities).
We will try to figure out how and why this could happen in the twenty-first century. Planet Earth is designed so that everything is interconnected on it. Forests, oil, water, gas, as well as many minerals - these are elements that make up one organism, and if one of the elements starts to fail, then irreversible processes occur in the body. What began to happen on our planet under the power of capital? What began to happen is what Karl Marx once said - capitalists will go for any crimes directed against humanity for the sake of profit ...
Since the mid-90s of the twentieth century in the Irkutsk region (as well as throughout our homeland) barbaric deforestation began to take place. Over time, due to corruption in the highest echelons of power and power structures, almost the entire territory of the forest of the Irkutsk region passed into the hands of “black” lumberjacks (this is the territory about which the Green Sea of the Taiga was sung in the song about in Soviet times). When elected in 2015 to the post of governor of the Irkutsk region S.G. Levchenko, the situation with the "black" lumberjacks in the region has worsened. This false communist appointed Mr. S. Sheverda, who previously had a bad reputation for deforestation, to the post of Minister of Forestry in the region. Sheverda, in turn, destroyed the control service in the forestry in the region, and made the "black" lumberjacks legitimate forest managers. As a result, forests in the Irkutsk region began to be cut, as they say, under the root. Even young trees were cut down. And most importantly, the sanitary-Baikal forest reserve Tukolon was cut down. Damage to nature was officially 800 million rubles (in fact, much more). A criminal case has been opened against Sheverda for abuse of power (now he is under arrest). As a result of this barbarism of unprecedented deforestation, the soil soil was exposed and defenseless against the elements, since soil without forests cannot absorb large amounts of water.
It should be noted that, starting from June 24, 2019, the Ministry of Emergency Situations in the Irkutsk region notified the residents of the region and, accordingly, the governor’s office that heavy rainfall and flooding in the region would begin in the region. After the above information, the inhabitants of the region both were able and prepared for the flooding conditions. And the governor’s apparatus didn’t react at all. On the evening of the same day, sharply intensified rain poured over the cities of Tulun, Nizhneudinsk and five districts of the region, which on June 25 led to the flooding of the above settlements. On June 26, the Ministry of Emergencies in the Irkutsk Region introduced an emergency mode in the region, but the authorities couldn’t or couldn’t cope ... the Ministry of Emergencies in the Irkutsk Region could not cope with this situation due to a lack of technical and human resources.
At this time, the governor of the Irkutsk region G.S. Levchenko at that moment when people were already swimming and drowning in the city of Tulun, was walking at a banquet at his party boss, Mr. Zyuganov, and did not begin to cancel such an “important” event because of the flooding of the region entrusted to him (he could not offend the boss). According to unofficial data, Levchenko also tried these days in Moscow to smear his friend Mr. Sheverda from a criminal article by running through the Kremlin offices. Mr. S.G. Levchenko arrived in the region only on June 29 (on the sixth day after the start of the elements), when President Putin, who had flown to the Irkutsk region, was already forced to intervene. The governor looked very pale at the meeting with the president, either because of the banquet feasts of Chef Zyuganov, or because of fear for the proper future punishment.
At that moment, when Levchenko arrived after a feast in the region, in the city of Tulun only by standing pillars it was possible to determine where the streets of the city used to be. That is, the city of Tulun no longer existed. But no matter how strange, Vladimir Putin did not even punish for such, to put it mildly, negligence, which led to the death of people, the governor of the Irkutsk region S.G. Levchenko ...
According to local regional authorities, another flooding of the cities of Tulun and Nizhneudinsk was the malfunction of the existing dam, which could not, due to its understaffing and lack of funds for the repair of this facility, to keep water flowing. To the questions of the residents of the region - why the authorities did not provide for the overhaul of this dam, which they had to bring to proper condition earlier, the governor’s apparatus answered simply and intelligibly - there were supposedly no money (or maybe they stole it?).
On July 27, 28, 2019, the Ministry of Emergencies in the Irkutsk Region again notified the residents of the region that, due to the impending heavy rains, the Irkut, Oia, Oka, Uda rivers will come off the banks and flooding of settlements located near these rivers is not excluded.
On July 29, 2019, in connection with repeated heavy rains, an emergency mode was introduced in the Irkutsk Region. The rivers Uda, Oia, Irkut, Oka overflowed the banks and began to flood settlements. The cities of Tulun, Nizhneudinsk again fell under flooding (the dam had not been repaired by this time). The settlements of Shelekhovsky and Irkutsk regions of the Irkutsk region were flooded. The authorities did not even send buses to evacuate the population to areas of increased danger. Who escaped as best he could. Ministry of Emergencies again failed to cope with the elements. There was a threat of flooding of the Sverdlovsk and Leninsky districts of the city of Irkutsk. On July 30, 2019, due to an increase in the water level in the Angara River, there was a threat of flooding of Listvyanka (the coastal strip of Lake Baikal). In this village, a bridge was destroyed by a water stream, as a result of which residents became hostages to the elements. As stated by the administration of Listvyansk Municipality, the collapse of this bridge occurred because the contractor, which was obliged to repair the bridge earlier, did not fulfill contractual obligations and did not carry out repairs, as a result of which the bridge support could not withstand the flow of water. And none of the aforementioned contracting organization also suffered punishment ...
At the same time, when an emergency was declared in July 2019 due to flooding in the Irkutsk Region, an emergency was declared in the Irkutsk Region due to fires in other settlements of the region. Fire covered more than 600 thousand hectares of forest. As stated by the local authorities, fires in the forests arose due to the arson of the forest by black artisan lumberjacks. Near the settlements, people were forced to extinguish the fires themselves, as the forces deployed by the Ministry of Emergencies to localize the fire were clearly not enough. But the forests were not extinguished, saying that it was economically unprofitable to extinguish the forest (? !!), and people living nearby with forests began to choke on smog. To the question of one resident from the city of Nizhne-Ilimsk, Mr. S. Sokol (chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Irkutsk region, a member of United Russia) - how could this happen that people are suffocating and the authorities refuse to put out the forest? S. Sokol replied that in 2015 a law was passed on the economic inexpediency of extinguishing forests, as it is costly !!
Governor of the Irkutsk region S.G. Levchenko became famous in Russia for winter hunting for wild animals. On January 5, 2017, he shot a bear sleeping in a den at point blank range. In winter, this is prohibited. For some reason, law enforcement agencies have not even tried to start an investigation ... Why be surprised, because the president himself, talking with the top leaders of the region at the crash site, did not ask - WHERE was Levchenko during the disaster? It turns out that in life, in fact, state officials, especially the main vertical authorities in the Russian Federation, do not apply state laws ...
Now the governor Levchenko with his team planned to make money on natural disasters in the region - on the destruction of animals fleeing from the fire. In mid-July, the bloody business was opened by Five Stars LLC. The fact that the bears began to go out to people more often than not because of their increased numbers, but because of forest fires, officials do not care. As a result, starving animals go to people in search of help and food, and get a bullet in the head. It is not yet known what specific plan for the killing of animals Levchenko adopted, but the governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory adopted a plan to shoot 1,600 bears and even 1,392 badgers. Note that the limits are set not for those areas that are close to raging forest fires, but for all areas where predators live and where animals and birds run from the fire. Flashing orders were adopted despite the fact that in the fire many wild animals and birds die. Those who were able to escape are scared, some are wounded and hungry. Therefore, in search of shelter and food, they run to settlements. Siberian winter is approaching. Instead of stopping the fires, which, as mentioned above, it’s unprofitable for officials to put out fires and helping animals prepare for winter by adopting a comprehensive program to protect animals, the rulers of Siberian regions decide to kill the survivors x ... We can conclude that the population of wild animals in Siberia with such a policy of leading cadres will sharply decrease, and some of them will simply disappear.
It is impossible to imagine the attitude to the situation that occurred in July 2019 with floods and fires in Siberia during the USSR ... Everything that happened in the Irkutsk region became possible for several reasons: deforestation for the sake of profit; pumping oil, gas; corruption permeating all echelons and branches of government; malpractice and irresponsibility; an elementary shortage (rather theft) of money for the repair of structures that ensure the safety of people's lives. And most importantly - the basic principle of capitalism under which we live - profit is above all. According to Marx, with a profit of 300% there is no such crime that capital would not risk taking, at least under pain of the gallows. After all, Russian officials have more than 300% profit from being in positions. Otherwise, WHERE do they and their relatives HAVE chic villas and hotels abroad, which are more beautiful than those that Catherine II had, and the collections of expensive foreign cars, and the still difficult listing of other wealth?
Capitalism cannot be good, positive. Capitalism is not only the exploitation of man by man, but also the destruction of all life on the planet for the pursuit of profit, for the sake of money. In order to save the world from self-destruction, a different political system is needed, a socialist system, where all people are brothers, where there is no violence and human exploitation by man, where there is a world without wars, where all the resources of planet Earth are used only rationally, where there is official responsibility persons in front of the people for their actions and inaction. But in order to revive socialism, it is necessary to destroy capitalism, which can only be done through the socialist revolution!
Mankind has a choice: either to coexist under capitalism and be destroyed by an ecological catastrophe or nuclear war, or go forward to Communism, to a world of prosperity, scientific progress and happiness for all people on Earth.
