Ural-Press-Inform (Chelyabinsk), April 2, 2003

850 million roubles are required to evacuate the population from Tatarskaya Karabolka and Muslyumovo

Recently Chairman of the YABLOKO party Grigory Yavlinsky handed to the President of Russia a package of urgent measures to evacuate the residents of two towns in Chelyabinsk region, Tatarskaya Karabolka and Muslyumovo. YABLOKO proposes that the President of Russia adopt urgent measures to evacuate the residents of these territories that were subject to radioactive contamination due to the Mayak disaster and the flow of radioactive waste into the Techa river.

Decisions to evacuate Tatarskaya Karabolka and Muslyumovo were adopted in the Soviet times, but have still not been implemented, noted Deputy Head of the YABLOKO party Sergei Mitrokhin.

The problem was raised during the discussions [in the State Duma] of the state budget for 2003, but the government's verdict was negative. That is why Grigory Yavlinsky had to address the President of the RF directly on this issue. According to YABLOKO's estimates, evacuation of the residents of Tatarskaya Karabolka and Muslyumovo (about 4,600 people) to safe areas would require 850 million roubles from the state budget.
