The activists protecting the Khimki forest made a camp in
the place of cutting of the woods and are now blocking a car
of a stranger who attacked Eugenia Chirikova, the leader of
the Movement in Protection of the Khimki Forest, and almost
hit her with his car.
On July 16 this man drove to the camp in a silver KIA jeep
(No B 104 YE 98). Coming out of the car the man began hitting
Eugenia on the hands trying to make her drop her mobile phone.
Then he jumped into his car and tried to knock her down with
his car, Eugenia managed to escape only by a miracle.
Today this man appeared in the camp again. The activists blocked
his car with logs and called a police.
The ecologists are now erecting barricades by the camp. Then
even promise to put up antitank hedgehogs like in the Second
World War. “It was the Khimki district which stopped Hitler’s
attack on Moscow. And the residents of the district hope that
their city will again become the symbol of fight against the
attack of occupants and bandits from the Putin’s power clan,
who signed a permit to cut their forest for the sake of building
of a paid highway and a colossal construction nearby,” Chirikova
said.
Today the workers of the Vinci company, France, cutting the
forest promised to demonstrate the ecologists the permission
on cutting the woods.
YABLOKO has been opposing the constructing of the paid highway
Moscow-St.Petersburg via the Khimki forest. On July 17 the
party made a statement supporting the defenders of the forest
and calling cutting of the woods a doubtful idea and violation
of the law.
