Residents of Syktyvdinsky District blocked roadways to Pavel Karin, the municipality’s deputy head. They demanded that he go to the quarries, because of which part of the forest had been cut down, with them. Residents collected berries and mushrooms, including as a source of income, there. The Civil Society of the Komi Republic Community reported this on June 25 on vk.com.

In Syktyvdinsky District, local residents took to the road and obstructed roadways to Pavel Karin, the municipality’s deputy head. They did this in protest against logging for sand extraction in the towns of Pychim and Yazel. The residents asked Karin to assess the scale of the quarries excavation and logging together with them. But the official refused to go there. As Pavel Karin says on the video recorded by the residents of Syktyvkar, he already understands what "is happening there."

Local residents called the police to the scene, but it is unclear how their meeting with the authorities ended.


In 2021, citizens of the Komi Republic collected more than 1.6 thousand signatures under an appeal to Vladimir Uyba, the head of the region. They asked to stop logging for sand extraction in Syktyvdinsky District. The residents indicated in the appeal that they could lose the opportunity to collect berries and mushrooms and the rest area due to the logging. Then, Uyba instructed the republican Ministry of Natural Resources and the district administration to stop the works.
