The Salt Mine at Soledar, Ukraine
The Salt Mine at Soledar, Ukraine
Soledar is a city in Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine. The name of the town stands for 'gift of salt' both in Russian and Ukrainian. The town was named Karlo-Libknekhtivsk after Karl Liebknecht, the German socialist, when it was created in 1965 during Soviet times. It was renamed Soledar in 1991 after the Ukraine became independent. This small is situated on the place of shallow bay of ancient Permian sea which existed there 250 millions years ago. After the sea dried out, here appeared one of the purest salt deposit in the world and the biggest one in Europe. In spite of more than 100 years of underground working, resulted in more than 125 miles of mines, these salt field resources are enough for 2 thousand years more. While tourists are attracted not by functioning mines, but exhaust one which is added to the UNESCO list of world culture heritage. Miners who worked in it turned the empty mines into magnificent temples by creating sculptures, pictures, chapels and grottos from salt blocks. Everything here is made of salt: walls, ceiling, floor, figures and trees.
The route along the salty galleries of this underground city at a depth of 300 meters is about 700 meters long and ends with a huge hall of 40 meters height. The acoustics in the hall is so amazing that sometimes it becomes the concert hall for symphonic orchestra. Kurt Schmidt, Austrian composer and director says that there are only 2 or 3 theaters in the world that can compete the acoustics of Soledar's salt mines: I am impressed! The notes flew up to the arch of the grotto, and then slowly as a cloud fell down. Incredible!.
Near the tourist route there is a speleo-sanitarium Salty Symphony where the following diseases are successfully cured: bronchial asthma, asthmatoid bronchitis, obstructive bronchitis, chronic pneumonia, rhinoallergosis, atopic dermatitis, some forms of psoriasis, weak immunity, thyroid diseases. Patients' sense of well-being is influenced by the following factors: atmospheric pressure 772 mm Hg (millimeters mercury column), air humidity 60%, temperature 14-16 °?, as well as air itself is filled with salt pieces with size of 1-5 micron and concentration of 15 mg in 1 cu m. The treatment in the microclimate of salt mine is one of the most effective because 70-85% adults and 85-95% children recover there according to statistics.
Usually the tour goes on for about 4 hours. During this time tourists can visit underground football field, church, labyrinths, concert hall, gallery, see the original figures made of salt, take a rest at underground bar, watch a movie about speleo-sanitarium, take pictures and video, play billiards, table tennis, chess, and simply have a rest and breathe the unique air of salt mine. Along the route medical staff and guide will do some training in medical respiratory gymnastics and tell interesting stories about the salt mine.
Soledar is a town which name stands for gift of salt. We visited its major sight: the underground galleries and chambers of salt mines.
The people there is a perception that the salt is harmful to the body in large quantities. This applies to its consumption as food. But a visit to the seabed, when there is not a single object of a different material than salt, very useful, especially for the imagination. A breath of air saturated micro-particles of salt - all powerful healing effect.
Sculptures created not Mother Nature, and the master with golden hands. Sinking to a depth of nearly 300 meters, you get the opportunity to walk along the bottom of the oceans, see the real football field with shallow salt crumbs instead of green grass , with a stunning concert hall acoustics.
There is a church in one of the worked out salt galleries of the city. In December 2003, the chamber 41 bis broke a record listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the first underground Hopper ballooning. In October 2004 there was a concert of Donbass Symphony Orchestra Salt Symphony under the direction of Austrian conductor Kurt Schmid with a participation of Victoria Lukyanets, soloist of the Vienna State Opera.

Ukraine Salt Exports to Europe Surge: 'Artemsol' attempts to offset Russian market loss
One of Europe’s biggest salt mining companies based in Ukraine has reported a 35% jump in exports to the European Union. ‘Artemsol’, a company located in the country’s embattled industrial east, says it was forced to seek alternative markets, after Russian regulators banned their products in late January, without valid reason, according to the firm.

Prosperous Ukraine? Judge for yourself. The salt mine, like the entire economy in decline.
Speleotherapy is a method of treatment using the atmosphere of salt caves. In Ukraine there is only one center of speleotherapy - the village of Solotvyno, where people who suffer from asthma, tuberculosis and allergies go for good health.
There is a legend that Kunigunda, the daughter of King Beyla IV, threw her ring into one of Solotvin's mines. And after a while this ring was found in the salt mines near Krakow. By that time, Kunigunda had already become a queen and recognized her decoration with some surprise.
Salt is the main Solotvynian treasure. The first underground allergological department was opened here in 1968. The base for the separation was chosen by mine No. 8 - and the results exceeded all expectations! Therefore, the mine No. 9 was reincarnated, and the next underground department began work in 1976. The depth of this mine is 300 meters, the medical building is a long gallery, in the walls of which were cut through niches - chambers. To maintain the optimal microclimate, special ventilation was organized. It was necessary to register for treatment in advance by phone. Patients went to the lower chambers on the elevator, the full treatment cycle lasted 24 days, but needless to say, permanent residence under the ground was not required.
The air in the mines is incredibly clean - it contains a large number of useful trace elements. Minor particles of salt contribute to the healing of skin and mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, allergens and other harmful factors do not penetrate into the depth of the premises. Unfortunately, unique underground buildings do not work at the moment, but they can be treated with brine and mud of the Solotvinsk lakes.
The local allergological hospital was forced to almost completely close the underground buildings because of the emergency condition of the mines. The mines No. 8 and No. 9 of the Solotvinsk salt mine are no longer suitable for the treatment of numerous patients. The water is washing away huge workings under the village, and the ground is falling through - descents to great depths have become dangerous for life. Although fans of extreme only this and waited for - thrill seekers here quickly replaced the relaxed holidaymakers. Extremes are armed with special equipment and sent to study the secrets of the Solotvin caves.
What is special about salt mines in the climate?
The mines are dominated by a constant temperature and atmospheric pressure. In the underground galleries, dry, saturated with rock salt particles, air. And the main factor: at the depth of completely no harmful impurities and allergens. Remission after a course of treatment with speleotherapy in Solotvino lasts up to six months! To maintain good health, visitors to the resort had to undergo a course of treatment twice a year. Moreover, it has practically no side effects and is acceptable for patients of all ages, including children. Solotvino did not use the method of forced spraying of salt dust - chemical elements are evaporated naturally, it is much more useful than artificial salt rooms. And the most popular souvenir from Solotvino is a salt lamp.

Unknown gunmen land from helicopter, attack checkpoint in Donetsk region
thinkINpictures | heartCanSEE@1WORLDCommunity
End Of the History, Not End Of the WORLD!
Self-defence forces have managed to repel an attack on a checkpoint in Soledar city in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region after unknown assailants landed in a helicopter and attacked in a blitz operation.
Over a dozen of gunmen descended from the helicopter and launched an attack on a defense squad guarding a checkpoint near Soledar. As the unknown men attacked, the militia, most of them reportedly unarmed, was forced to retreat.
Following the shootout, the attackers have retreated as well, taking one of the defenders hostage, the local self-defense force told RT's correspondent Paula Slier who is at the scene.
There are conflicting reports of deaths and injuries, with some talking about at least one killed among the attackers, while other reports suggest one of the defenders was killed.
After the military raid ended, some of the self-defence militia moved forward to retake the checkpoint. Those who were guarding the checkpoint, told Slier that the marked attackers in black uniforms were armed with 'US-made guns'.
A short distance away from the checkpoint there is a salt mine and an army warehouse and a Ukrainian army barracks. A group of several hundred people have gathered near the warehouse, almost forming a human chain to prevent arms from being looted, Paula Slier reports.
The entrances to warehouses storing arms have been blocked to prevent the National Guard forces from confiscating the weapons, a militia source told RIA earlier.
He added that the warehouses were left over from Soviet times and have in storage only outdated weaponry, such as Mauser, Colt, Degtyarev machine guns, submachine PCA guns but in great amounts.
Kiev authorities are carrying out a military operation against anti-government militia supporting the federalization of Ukraine in the eastern part of the country.
Kiev said on Friday that the second stage of the military operation in Slavyansk has been launched.
Slavyansk is in the control of people's self-defense forces that are defending the city, repelling the attack of the Kiev military.
Kiev authorities are carrying out a military operation against anti-government militia supporting the federalization of Ukraine in the eastern part of the country.
Kiev said on Friday that the second stage of the military operation in Slavyansk has been launched. Slavyansk is under thecontrol of people's self-defense forces that are defending against the Ukrainian armed forces that have set up a military base some 20 kilometers from Slavyansk, RT's stringer, Ukraine-based British journalist Graham Phillips reported on Friday.
The aim is to completely isolate Slavyansk to localize the problem, the coup-appointed acting head of presidential administration Sergey Pashinsky told media on Friday as cited by RIA.
On Thursday, five self-defense members were reportedly killed and one injured in a gunfight in Slavyansk in a night attack on a militia checkpoint on the outskirts of the city. The incident happened as Kiev authorities sent tanks and armored vehicles against the local population.
In response to the escalation of violence in eastern Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Kiev on Thursday saying that the use military force against the civilian population is a serious crime which makes Kiev authorities a junta.
Russia's UN envoy Vitaly Churkin pointed out in an interview to Rossiya 1 channel on Friday that if the violence in the southeast of Ukraine doesn't stop, Russia will call a special session of the UN Security Council.

An uninterrupted supply of Ukrainian salt, despite 12 months of intense fighting and the threat of more rocket attacks. This is Artemsol, a mining company situated near Debaltseve, a town on the frontline of the conflict between Russian-backed militants and Ukrainian forces. More than 7 million tonnes of salt per year is processed here alone – used for everything – including roads, heavy industry and pharmaceutical products. It's even commonplace on kitchen tables across most of Central and Eastern Europe – from the Baltics to the Balkans, used to add flavor to your average meal.
