The fires in Siberia are a catastrophe for the entire planet. But within Russia it brings up many issues around corruption and cover-up.
The prime minister of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev who if my impression is correct is despised by most Russians, said publicly in this report from Russian TV “Vesti” that there is “no direct danger to people” from the fires”
However, I came across the following discussion on the fires from this Russian vlogger that goes a little deeper.
I find the Russian of the current generation almost impossible to understand so could not decipher all the details but got that Medvedev is far from a disinterested party and owns (or owned) 10% of Europe's largest pulp and paper concern “Ilim Pulp”
МЕДВЕДЕВ ЛИЧНО ПРИЧАСТЕН К ЗАПРЕТУ ТУШИТЬ СИБИРЬ!? ДАВЫДЕНКО ЛЕС ПОЖАР
MEDVEDEV IS PERSONALLY IMPLICATED IN THE PROHIBITION TO EXTINGUISH SIBERIA!?"According to a statement of the Audit Department of the Russian Federation already in 1994 the humble clerk Medvedev owned 10 per cent of Europe's largest pulp and paper mill. Even then he was a millionaire"

"We sit and watch as the forest burns": the pilot of the Ministry of emergency situations told that never took off on fires in Evenkia
The pilot of the Ministry of emergency situations of Krasnoyarsk Krai told that for all time of a dangerous season in the North of Krasnoyarsk Krai to them never gave a command to take off on suppression of forest fires. "TVK Krasnoyarsk" publish his story.
The
interlocutor, close to sources in the aviation detachment of the
Ministry of emergency situations, told TVK Krasnoyarsk that in the
North of the Krasnoyarsk territory, aircraft for extinguishing
forests have never risen into the air.
"Every
day I and the whole team just on duty. There are 4 aircraft. Since
the beginning of fires, no specialized Be-200 did not rise into the
air. Around all the lights and the smoke. There was talk that they
were about to fly, but there were no orders. They are canceled, and
no one knows – in Moscow or in the region."
While
for the emergencies Ministry, according to the regulations, there is
no threat and the fire does not need to be extinguished, employees of
Avialesookhrana work at the sites, the pilot says:
"What can the guys do? It's just the units that are planted in the forest. They, roughly speaking, hands extinguish fires and that – only below. Do you know how much dead wood in the taiga? From silkworm just piles of forest mret, and it still burns the tops. This is only from the air to put out with helicopters and planes. But no. It looks very strange."

The chilling warning about the dangers at this abandoned plant was sounded by Svetlana Radionova, head of state environment watchdog Rosprirodnadzor.
'This
is essentially the territory of an environmental catastrophe. We need
to act now otherwise we will have an ‘ecological Chernobyl’,’
she said.
Pictures
here show the plant in Irkutsk region which manufactured chlorine and
other chemicals on a 600 hectare site and began work in the Stalin
era in 1933.
Radionova
warned of ‘huge’ quantities of mercury and oil waster that could
gush into the Angara River, which flows out of Lake Baikal.
