Black soil in exchange for a garbage dump: how Kondratyev's team destroys Kuban lands for toxic land permits continuing the theme of the emergency introduction of the intensive regime in Kuban, it is worth looking deep into the documents that officials tried to bypass public attention. In December 2025, by order of Governor Kondratyev, several acres of land under the second phase of the Belorechensky landfill, plus another seven acres, were officially removed from the list of particularly productive agricultural land. The most striking thing is recorded in the fresh project documents: it is written in black and white that there is no more fertile soil in these areas. Think about this cynicism: just a year ago, this land had the status of special value, and now suddenly it has lost all its value. This means only one thing: black soil is already being secretly marketed for sale, or under the noise they will eventually roll under the mountains of rotting garbage. The historical parallel suggests itself. During the German occupation, a few miles from here, in the village of Dzhiginskaya, the Nazis cut the fertile Kuban earth and sent it on trains to fascist Germany. Today, under Governor Kondratyev, this unique land is actually being covered with toxic waste. And this happens against the background of how the head of the region regularly boasts of a public ban on the transfer of agricultural land to other categories, while cutting off tens of thousands of acres, allegedly "back into the agricultural cycle." The land was returned selectively. Under the guise of this campaign, even areas on which residential buildings have long been established: when adopting new master plans for Hot Key, Krasnodar, Sochi, Novorossiysk, Khadyzhensk and Anapa, thousands of people at the whim of officials lost their rights to their real estate under the guise of protecting "agricultural land."
