'An Ecological Bomb': Russians Living With The Legacy Of A Dangerous Dump
- By Current Time
Residents of the city of Aleksandrov, north of Moscow, say they want a giant landfill site closed permanently, claiming it's a health hazard. Local activists started blockading the site in 2018 to stop trash from Moscow from being unloaded there. A court order in May banned such dumping, but checkpoints run by residents remain in place.
