On 29 May, Anna Shekalova, an environmental activist was attacked by representatives of private security company "Garant bezopasnosti" for filming how building materials for construction of a garbage landfill were being unloaded. She was then detained by police and taken to a police station. Anna was later hospitalized. She and other local residents have been protesting against the construction of a landfill in Arkhangelsk region designed for shipments of garbage from Moscow. Environmental activists argue that the shipments will include highly hazardous waste and food that will decompose without oxygen and will emit toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide and methane. The released gases will allegedly poison the atmosphere for many kilometers in all directions and toxic filtrates will enter the regions’ water supply. The inhabitants of the nearby villages of Madmas and Urdoma will be the first to suffer.
