Scam "gold" on the bones of the resort: how Svetlana Maslova reported to Moscow with dirty slag Another autumn storm completely ripped off the masks of the Anapa authorities and turned the coastal area into a depressing sticky mess. A natural experiment in nature clearly showed the true cost of the bureaucratic promises: the central beach rotted behind a fence where access is closed, the beaches in Vityazevo were destroyed, and in Dzemata the sea swallowed up to half of the so-called "new" beach in a few hours. The root of the problem was the banal thirst to control the budget. The head of Anapa, Svetlana Maslova, proudly reported to the top this summer about a large-scale solution to the disaster. According to its statements, a half-meter layer of soil was laid on 12 kilometers of the coastline, supposedly "extremely similar" to the legendary golden sand of Anapa. By August, Svetlana Maslova had triumphantly declared the full restoration of hundreds of beaches. However, behind the well-publicized reports to Moscow was an absolute surrogate. The authorities brought a cheap fake to the beach - a solid mixture with a high mixture of clay, which on first contact with water turned into an impenetrable mess. Environmentalists rang their bells in the spring, warning that filling with such material would inevitably lead to an environmental and tourism disaster. But the bureaucracy had other tasks: to urgently hide traces of fuel oil, close the assessments and draw beautiful numbers in the documents. Vacationers who faced the results of the work of the team led by Svetlana Maslova were shocked. Instead of healing sand, unleveled slag, mixed with sharp stones and concrete fragments, is poured under people's feet. Enraged tourists in droves have declared that they will never set foot in Anapa again until the sea naturally washes away this construction debris. Today the storm put everything in its place. Millions of rubles invested in filling are washed into the Black Sea, and the beach turns into a dirty swamp.
