Колыма - родина нашего страха / Kolyma - Birthplace of Our Fear
Не знаю, как у вас, но всю свою жизнь я слышу от родителей: ну будь осторожен, ну не привлекай к себе лишнее внимание, не высовывайся – это очень опасно; и вообще мы простые люди – от нас ничего не зависит.
Мои родители – прекрасные люди, я безумно их люблю. Но они говорят все это десятилетиями - даже в тех ситуациях, где очевидно нарушается здравый смысл, где творится несправедливость и где мы точно правы.
Я всегда думал: откуда у старшего поколения этот страх, это стремление мазать все серой краской? Почему они боятся, что даже за минимальную смелость обязательно прилетит наказание? Моя гипотеза: этот страх зародился еще в прошлом веке и через поколения добрался до нас. Одно из мест, где этот страх появлялся, - Колыма.
Для максимального погружения мы проехали всю трассу Колыма. 2000 км тяжеленной дороги. 9 дней пути. И лютый, просто неправдоподобный мороз.
Как люди жили здесь тогда, во время репрессий? Как люди жили после? Как живут люди сейчас?
Все это нам было интересно и важно узнать нам. Все, что узнали, мы рассказываем вам.

За одежду спасибо ребятам из компании Если бы не они, совсем не факт, что мы бы пережили эти морозы.
The Magical Beluga Whale, Capturing wild belugas
The showman P.T. Barnum first placed live beluga whales on display at the Boston Aquarial Gardens and in the American Museum in New York in 1861.
In the late 1950s, the beluga capture industry took off. Alaska quickly became the favored place to capture belugas until the 1970s. Canada became the predominant source for belugas destined for exhibition. This continued until 1992, when beluga capture was banned in Canada. When Canada ceased to be the source of these animals, Russia became the largest provider. Captive breeding of cetaceans is difficult, and most whales and dolphins currently in captivity around the world were deliberately captured—not rescued—from the wild.
When the defenseless animals are surrounded by high speed boats and encircled with nets, they are scared and panicked, thrashing around. Many of them die - becoming entangled or drowning. Captors mostly prefer young, because it is believed that they will be easier to adapt, but most importantly that they are not too large to be transported. Newly captured belugas are transported to a sea pen such as in the Center for marine mammal adaptation near city of Nakhodka in the Russian Far East. In such places, white whales are held in quarantine for at least a month. Here they are taught to obey humans, live in a confined space, and eat dead fish. If the animal survives, it is transported to a final destination, and exposed to the new stress: a strong physiological load, prolonged lack of food, and dehydration. Beluga whales are delivered to Russian and Ukrainian dolphinariums, or sold abroad – to China, Thailand, Vietnam and Middle East.
In 2012 Russians captured the largest number of live belugas in history (44 individuals), and the numbers are growing.
In 2013, a permit for a catch quota of 260 beluga whales was issued by the Russian Commission for Fisheries. In 2013, in the Sea of Okhotsk, 81 beluga whales were caught. Approximately 34 were accidentally killed during the capture, seven died in the temporary detention, and 3 had to be released because of the risk of death.
There are believed to be at least 230 beluga whales held captive across the world. Approximately 30 belugas are in the United States, 50 are in Canada, 20 are in Japan, and 40 are in China. Approximately 60 belugas are performing at stationary dolphinariums in Russia and ten or more are captive in Russian mobile dolphinariums.
Captive cetaceans live a life of constant stress in a cement box; to which chlorine and other irritating chemicals are added. During performances or petting sessions, they are assaulted by blaring music and crowd noise. Captive cetaceans often work 12-hour days without a break. The animals are not being starved, but trainers can make the animal hungry enough to want to perform in shows for the rewards of dead fish. This is the price that white whales and other captive cetaceans pay to entertain people.

Please watch Documentary 'The Dark History of Killer Whale Captures': A chronological documentary ranging from the 60s to present briefly describes kidnapping of orcas from their natural habitat. A more detailed is the information about capturing of orcas in Russia, the only country where it’s currently practiced.

Chiune Sugihara
Chiune Sugihara (杉原 千畝, Sugihara Chiune, 1 January 1900 – 31 July 1986) was a Japanese diplomat who served as Vice-Consul for the Empire of Japan in Lithuania. During World War II, he helped several thousand Jews leave the country by issuing transit visas to Jewish refugees so that they could travel to Japan. Most of the Jews who escaped were refugees from German-occupied Poland and residents of Lithuania. Sugihara wrote travel visas that facilitated the escape of more than 6,000 Jewish refugees to Japanese territory, risking his career and his family's lives. Sugihara had told the refugees to call him Sempo, the Sino-Japanese reading of the characters in his first name, discovering it was much easier for Western people to pronounce. In 1985, Israel honored him as Righteous Among the Nations for his actions.
