1Fighting “Blatant Criminal Dictatorship” in Ukraine's Coal Mining RegionAdy Amin'ny ” Jadona Mahery Vaika” Any Amin'ny Faritra Fitrandrahana Arintany Any Okraina
2Donetsk-based blogger Stanislav Kmet (LJ user frankensstein) visited Severnyi, a decaying coal-mining village in eastern Ukraine, after a group of local residents emailed him asking for help in drawing attention to the illegal mining that threatens to ruin their homes.Nitsidina ny tany Severnyi, tanàna ravan'ny fitrandrahana arintany ao atsinanan'i Okraina, ilay bilaogera ao amin'ny Donetsk Stanislav Kmet (mpampiasa ny LJ frankensstein), taorian'ny nandefasan'ireo mponina ao an-toerana mailaka taminy izay mangataka ny hanampiany azy ireo mba hisintona ny sain'ny olona ho any amin'io fitrandrahana tsy ara-dalàna io izay mitady handrava ny tranon-dry zareo.
3On January 10 -11, 2013, Kmet posted a photo report from the trip on his blog ( part 1 and part 2 here [ru] - with some 70 photos and two videos), adding to the already extensive collection of items on the history and contemporary problems of Donbas, the region where most of Ukraine's coal production takes place.Nandefa tatitra an-tsary ny diany tao amin'ny bilaoginy i Kemt (ru; andiany voalohany sy andiany faharoa - sary manodidina ny 70 sy lahatsary 2), ho fanampin'ireo tahiry izay efa betsaka raha ny ara-tantara sy ny olana misy any Donbas ankehitriny, faritra izay mamokatra ny ampahany betsaka amin'ny arintany any Okraina.
4According to Kmet, if it wasn't for the Ukrainian currency and passports still in use in Severnyi, it would be hard to tell that this village was part of the Ukrainian state: an “enclave” - one of many in Donbas - where “neither the Constitution, nor the laws have any real power.”Araka ny hevitr'i Kmet, raha tsy ho noho ny vola Okrainiana sy ny fahazahoan-dàlana mivezivezy (pasipaoro) mbola miasa any Severnyi, sarotra ny milaza fa hoe ampahantany ao amin'ny fanjakan'i Okraina no misy ity tanàna ity - “mitoka-monina”- iray amin'ireo maro be any Donbas- izay ” na ny Lalàm-panorenana, na ny làlana hafa dia tsy manan-kery.”
5Here is Kmet's summary of the situation [ru]:Inty ny famintinan'i Kmet ny zava-misy any :
6[…] As it usually happens with coal-mining villages, Severnyi […] started dying together with the local mine.[…] Tahaka izay miseho matetika amin'ny tanàna fitrandrahana arintany, […] manomboka miara-maty amin'ny fitrandrahana arintany eo an-toerana i Severnyi.
7All the way back in 2000, the Severnaya mine was declared unprofitable, and soon coal extraction basically stopped there.Nambara fa tsy ahazoana tombony ny fitrandrahana any Severnaya hatramin'ny 2000, ary afaka fotoana fohy dia hijanona eo io fitrandrahana arintany io.
8Currently, mining takes place only in numerous [illegal mines known as kopankas], whose owners have all the power over the village.Any amin'ireo [ lavaka fitrandrahana atao hoe : kopankas] maro be fotsiny ihany, izay ny tompony no manana ny fahefana ao an-tanàna, no anaovana ny fitrandrahana amin'izao fotoana izao.
9The local population are deprived of their rights, law enforcement officials neglect their duties, the local authorities keep silent and pretend nothing is going on.Tsy manan-jo ny vahoaka any an-toerana, tsy mandray ny andraikiny ny olon'ny lalàna, mitohy tsy miteny sy milaza ny zavatra rehetra ho mandeha tsara ireo manampahefana any an-toerana.
10Coal entrepreneurs shamelessly engage in grabbing the lands that are rich in coal, digging up nearby forests, ruining people's houses.Tsy menatra akory ireo orinasa mpitrandraka fa mangorona sy mitrandraka ireo tany manan-karena arintany, mandavaka ny manakaiky ny ala, mandrava tranon'olona.
11I've been to many corners of Donbas, but I haven't seen such blatant criminal dictatorship anywhere before. […]Toerana maro tany Donbas no nalehako, fa tsy mbola nahita didy jadona mahery vaika tahaka izao aho na taiza na taiza. […]
12Located between the towns of Snezhnoye and [Torez], the village of Severnyi isn't a good place to live in - there are almost no jobs there, and getting to nearby towns using the beaten down road is hard and takes too long.Miorina eo anelanelan'ny tanànan'i Snezhnoye sy [Torez], tanàna kely tsy dia tsara honenana ny tanànan'i Severnyi - saiky tsy misy asa ao, ary henjana sy mandany fotoana raha ho any amin'ny tanàna akaiky amin'ny fandehanana aminà làlan-dratsymikintaontaona.
13Real estate costs almost nothing, population has reduced from 17,000 people (in the early 1990s) to 10,000 (in 2012). […]Tsy dia misy vidiny akory foto-drafitrasa, ary nihena ny isan'ny mponina 17.000 ( tamin'ny fiandohan'ny 1990) lasa 10.000 ( tamin'ny 2012). […]
14Unfinished, ruined and deserted houses, impassable dirt roads: Kmet's photos and words work together well to convey Severnyi's “hopeless atmosphere.”Trano tsy mety vita, rava sady tsy misy olona, làlana maloto tsy azo diavina: miara-miasa tsara mihitsy ny sary sy ny fanazavana nataon'i Kmet hilazàna ny ” tontolo tsy misy fanantenana” ho an'i Severnyi.
15He writes:Izao no nosoratany :
16[…] Even the inhabited buildings in Severnyi bear the mark of decay and death.[…] Na dia ny trano misy mipetraka any Severnyi aza dia efa misy fitomboky ny faharavana sy ny fahafatesana.
17As you walk down its streets, everything around is somehow only half-alive, slanted, neglected.Raha mandeha eny an-dalambeny eny ianao dia mitsipozipozy, mitongilana, ary ratsy karakara ny zavatra rehetra manodidina.
18It seems as if these houses are inhabited not by people but by walking mummies, as shabby and dusty as their dwellings. […]Tahaka ny hoe tsy olona no mipetraka amin'ilay trano fa faty mitsangana ‘momie' mandehandeha, sady tonta no vovohana toy ny fonenandry zareo ihany. […]
19It seems as if everyone who is still capable of doing something has already left this village.Tahaka ny hoe efa nandao ity tanàna ity ireo olona mbola afaka manao zavatra.
20I'm sure [filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, who directed Stalker in 1979,] would have liked this place. […]Azoko antoka fa [ Andrei Tarkovsky, mpamokatra sarimihetsika, izay nitantana ny Stalker tamin'ny 1979,] no mety ho tia ity toerana ity. […]
21Illegal coal mines are everywhere, writes Kmet:Eny rehetra eny ireo fitrandrahana arintany tsy ara-dalàna, hoy Kmet :
22[…] Everything is done absolutely openly.[…] Tena atao an-karihary daholo ny zava-drehetra.
23Neither the authorities, nor the law enforcement react to it.Samy tsy misy mihetsika na ny manampahefana na ny olon'ny lalàna.
24The looting of the bowels of the earth goes on as if no state exists at all, and everyone is digging up coal wherever they feel like it.Mbola mitohy ihany ny fandrobàna harena an-kibon'ny tany, toy ny hoe tany tsy misy fanjakana, ary afaka mitrandraka amin'izay toerana tiany ny tsirairay.
25We encounter numerous resource-exhausted, abandoned “holes.”Mahita ‘lavaka' maro voatrandraka sy efa nilaozana izahay.
26When a kopanka exhausts its resources, they just move on to dig up a new one. […]Rehefa lany ny harena ao amin'ny kopanka iray, dia mifindra ary mandavaka iray vaovao indray ry zareo. […]
27Some of this illegal mining takes place right beneath people's houses - and this is the problem that brought Kmet and his colleagues to Severnyi.Manakaiky ny trano fonenan'ny olona ny sasany amin'ireny fitrandrahana ireny- ary izany no olana nitondra an'i Kmet sy ny namany ho any Severnyi.
28Residents of the affected streets show Kmet two kopankas located dangerously close to their houses, as well as Kozlov Street, whose residents were forced to move elsewhere after their houses became damaged as a result of illegal mining:Ireo mponina amin'ireo làlana voakasik'izany dia naneho tamin'i Kmet ireo kopanka roa izay loza mananontanona ny tranony, tahaka izany ihany koe ny Làlan'i Kozlov, voatery nifindra trano ny olona noho ny fahasimban'ny tranony vokatry ny fitrandrahana tsy ara-dalàna :
29[…] They know coal lies right underneath their backyards.[…] Fantany fa misy arintany ao ambanin'ny tokotaniny ao.
30If they start mining it, their houses will collapse due to land subsidence. […]Raha vao manomboka mitrandraka izany izy ireo dia ho rava ny tranony noho ny fifotetahan'ny tany. […]
31The local residents' attempts to resist illegal mining produce no results: the authorities keep failing to react adequately to the officially filed complaints, and, moreover, there are signs that they are actually collaborating with the illegal miners (e.g., by providing them with access to electricity).Tsy misy vokany ireo andrana nataon'ny mponina ho fanoherana ny fitrandrahana tsy ara-dalàna : tsy raharahain'ny manampahefana ireo fitarainana napetraka ôfisialy, ary ny loza, dia hita taratra ny fiaraha-miasany amin'ireo mpitrandraka tsy ara-dalàna ireo ( ohatra ny fanomezany herinaratra ho azy ireo )
32When one of the local women confronted the illegal miners personally, she received a death threat in response.Rehefa nifamaly mivantana tamin'ireo mpitrandraka tsy ara-dalàna ny vehivavy iray tao an-tanàna, dia fandrahonana ho faty no azony ho setrin'izay.
33Kmet cites her story (which he has also recorded on video [ru]):Tanisain'i Kmet ny tantarany (izay noraketiny anaty lahatsary ) :
34[…] At first we just wanted to come to an agreement […].[…] Tany am-boalohany dia naniry fotsiny ho tonga aminà fifanarahana iray izahay […].
35When the bandits arrived, I came up to them and said: “Guys, you won't be allowed to dig here.”Fa rehefa tonga ireo jiolahy, dia nanatona azy ireo aho ary niteny : ” ô ry zalahy, tsy manana alàlana handavaka eo ianareo.”
36Then one of them told me: “Lady, you're tired of being alive, aren't you?Avy eo namaly ahy ny iray tamin'izy ireo : ” Sasatry ny miaina angaha ianao, madama ?
37Because we can [throw in two bottles of explosives] at night - and everything will be fine!”Satria azonay atao ny [ mitoraka tavoahangy roa misy zava-mipoaka] rahalina-dia hilamina ny zava-drehetra !”
38So then I, of course, decided to keep my mouth shut. […]Rehefa nandre izany aho, mazava loatra, dia nanapa-kevitra ny hanakombom-bava. […]
39Kmet writes that the local residents' only hope is for the media to get involved.Soratan'i Kmet fa ny hany fanantenana ho an'ireo mponina ao an-toerana ireo dia ny mampiditra an-tsehatra ny haino aman-jery .
40The other video included in this photo report is of a man working at one of the illegal kopankas.Ny lahatsary iray hafa tafiditra amin'ity tatitra an-tsary ity dia lehilahy iray miasa ao anatin'ny iray amin'ire kopanka tsy ara-dalàna.
41Kmet writes that this video will be part of the documentary about Severnyi that he's working on now and will soon post online. :Ambaran'i Kmet fa ho ampahany amin'ny fanadihadiana momba an'i Severnyi izay iasany amin'izao fotoana izao ity lahatsary ity ary halefany amin'ny aterineto io lahatsary io atsy ho atsy :
