The sour-milk quagmire in Kotelnich could lead to criminal charges.

      A "soured-milk" bog was found in the Kirov Region — a plot of land where dairy production waste is regularly dumped. According to the People's Front, it is located near the Kotel'nich–Darovskoy highway and may affect the Kurinka River.

      After activists reported it, specialists from the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the police arrived on site. The inspection revealed serious sanitary violations: waste after wastewater treatment was being discharged onto the ground, rather than into treatment facilities. Environmentalists took soil and water samples, and company employees were questioned by the police.

      Local residents are convinced that a cheese and dairy producer is involved in the discharge. In 2021 the organization was already fined for polluting the river; at that time it carried out repairs to its treatment facilities, after which complaints about white foam in the water stopped. Now a new dumping site has been found.

      Wastewater from dairy production contains organic substances — lactose, proteins and fats — that can cause significant damage to the ecosystem. Environmental damage is currently being assessed, and the question of initiating a criminal case against the company's officials is under consideration.

According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, citing data from the analytical agency Avtostat, 34,030 new cars were sold in the country last week, which is 6% more than in the same period last year. According to Avtostat head Sergey Tselikov, the sales growth is partly linked to a surge of interest around a possible increase in the recycling fee. Although week-on-week sales fell by 5.8%, the overall trend remains positive, and analysts expect growth may persist until the end of the year. Positive momentum was also recorded in the heavy truck market (HCV from 16 t) — 1,076 vehicles were sold, 5.1% more than a week earlier. At the same time, the light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment is experiencing a decline: sales fell 16% compared with the previous week and 27% compared with October 2024. The drop continues in the medium-duty truck category (MCV, 3.5–16 t), where 236 units were sold, 8% fewer than a week earlier and 41% lower than a year ago.
