The third video – the third story ‘Kazas Village’

The third video – the third story ‘Kazas Village’ about the indigenous people of West Siberia by Yana Tannagasheva:
“The Kazas settlement was basically destroyed in 2013-2014: the coal company Yuzhnaya, which was operating an open pit coal mine and causing irreparable harm to the environment of this territory, forced residents to sell their plots. Residents report that they faced pressure from coal mine employees, who threatened to set fire to their homes and destroy them with bulldozers. These threats were realized: from November 2013 to March 2014, the homes of people who did not agree to the sale were set on fire by unknown persons”.
