People are forced to sign for the felling of Sosnovy Bor in Novosibirsk. Altex created a website to support the project, but the website of the defenders of the bor crashed. Employees and students of the Siberian State University of Telecommunications and Informatics (SUTI) are being forced to sign appeals supporting deforestation in Sosnovy Bor in Novosibirsk to build a sports complex and buildings for the company Altex. The publication Taiga.info and journalist Vitaly Bochkarev discussed this on Telegram. Signature sheets are being forwarded to a department in the mayor's office, which is accepting proposals before discussions on changes to the general plan of Novosibirsk. The discussions will take place on November 6 at the administration of the Oktyabrsky district of the city. SUTI is a federal university. It is headed by Yuri Zazulia, who previously headed the endowment fund for the development of the Tyumen Industrial University. The university works closely with Altex. Some students do internships at the company. Students were threatened with a "talk with the director" if they refused to sign in support of the construction, Mash claims. The director of the Institute of Security at SUTI, Yuri Sibiryak, promises that he "asked colleagues to inform students," but allegedly exclusively on a voluntary basis. At the same time, similar comments supporting the cutting of the bor appeared en masse on public pages in the city, Sib.fM noted. Their authors claim that the development will benefit the forest, and SUTI is not forcing people to sign for the project. Meanwhile, Altex launched a website to support the development with the words "Save the forest, bring back sports." It claims that "1,993 people have already supported the project." This happened after opponents of deforestation organized their own online platform. But at the time of publication, the website of the defenders of Sosnovy Bor was no longer accessible. Altex, which manufactures communications equipment, began cutting trees in Sosnovy Bor under the guise of an "emergency."
