Anapa Beach Protest: Three Years of Oil-Soaked Sand

Anapa Beach Pollution: Three Years of Promises, No Cleanup. Residents of Anapa, a popular Russian resort town, are staging a protest over tons of oil-contaminated sand that has been left on their beaches for three years. Despite repeated promises from the authorities to remove the polluted sand, the problem persists, causing environmental damage and harming tourism. "They promised to remove the contaminated sand in April, then postponed it again," says one resident in the video. "We've been waiting three years. It's incomprehensible." Satellite images taken in late April show the extent of the contamination. The residents' frustration is evident, and their protest highlights a growing concern over environmental neglect in the region. The situation underscores the need for immediate action from authorities to address the pollution and restore the beaches to their former condition. The ongoing environmental damage and the impact on tourism are significant concerns that need to be addressed.
