A storm of controversy for the authorities of the city of Mynski , in the Siberian region of Kemerovo , after the publication of a video on YouTube that shows how snow is painted white to hide pollution.
It was a woman named Svetlana Zelenina who shot the video, showing how, a slide made of snow built for children to play, was colored white to make the dirt of the snow and coal dust from the nearby quarries.
As soon as the news became public, the mayor of Mynski could not help but apologize to the citizens, taking the municipal employees for their original solution .
It is not the first time that unusual solutions have been used by the Russian authorities to mask the serious problem of pollution or infrastructure. Some time ago the authorities of a city near St. Petersburg had repaired a road ... with Photoshop!
