On June 22, in the Novokhopersky district of the Voronezh region, after an agreed rally against the mining of non-ferrous metals, riots broke out in the Khoperye region.
The rally was attended by over 4 thousand people. Then the participants went to the territory of the field. There, a group of several hundred people broke the fence and set fire to the exploration equipment. The police did not use force.
Recall that for more than a year, immediately after the announcement of the decision, local residents of the Voronezh and neighboring regions by all peaceful and legal means have been fighting against the development of copper-cobalt-nickel deposits in the Voronezh region.
Back in December 2012, at an open hearing in the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, the results of a study conducted by the Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences were announced, according to which 98% of residents of the Novokhopersk District consider this project harmful, and a third is ready to resist work not even in the legal field.
The situation was aggravated by the action of a company that was conducting geological exploration on land leased for the purpose of producing agricultural products, fencing this work with a fence covering several other people's plots. The company did not comply with the instructions of the police of the Novokhopersk district to eliminate violations of land use.
On May 13, in Prikhoperye, eco-activists who opposed the mining of non-ferrous metals in the Chernozem region were severely beaten in the fields by the employees of the private security company "Patrol". They were participants in a peaceful eco-camp located on the territory of the Elansky copper-nickel deposit.
Detailed description of the events, with photos, videos and medical certificates of the victims
According to a scientific assessment made with the participation of experts from the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, specialists from the Russian Academy of Sciences and Moscow State University, the extraction of non-ferrous metals in the Black Earth Region will lead to serious negative environmental and social consequences. In the opinion of the scientists who conducted this assessment, it is advisable to develop agriculture, including organic agriculture, and tourism in Prikhoperye.
On June 14, 2013, documents about serious social tension in the Khoper region were handed over to Deputy Prime Minister A. V. Dvorkovich at the G20 civil summit held in Moscow. On June 18, 2013, this problem was voiced at a meeting of ecologists with Prime Minister D. A. Medvedev, held in Irkutsk.
And on the same day, the Voronezh Regional Court confirmed the refusal to hold a referendum on the Novokhopersk District on this issue.

According to seismic survey and geological survey data, buried valleys of paleo rivers are traced on the Black Sea continental shelf: Dniester, Southern Bug, Dnieper, Don, Rioni and other rivers. They testify to the draining of a large part of the Black Sea in the Middle Pleistocene and the final formation in the Late Pleistocene, increasing the likelihood of the existence of Pontida - a land bridge between Crimea and Anatolia along the Andrusov shaft, now buried
