Farmers in Russia's Saratov region have begged President Vladimir Putin to help them deal with a swarming population of saiga antelopes, which have destroyed crops and contaminated water supplies
And once again I find myself not knowing anything about Russia’s ecosystems. As the largest country on earth it should have an astonishing variety of nature, similar to the US.
But TV and cinema have taught me that Russia is grey everywhere with some grass and small frail trees scattered about and sometimes coniferous forests and snow.
Yeah, it’s a grey shithole, where everybody outside of Moscow and St Pete’s have to squat over a hole in the ground, drink anti-freeze vodka and self immolate because they won’t stop fucking smoking everywhere. Save your digestive system some trouble by just flushing the disgusting slop they call food. Russian women hate it there because every male is an alcoholic, unemployable, wife beating defective, and they all want to marry WESTERN MEN. It’s a cultural desert and has produced maybe half a dozen musician/artists and writers of any note, in all the centuries of muscovite existence. Russia is the reason aliens won’t visit us.
And Pootin the Tiny wants to export this to the rest of the world…
I predict that these antelopes will be disappointed by their visit and will not recommend ruzzia as a destination to all their friends.

Russia is at a much higher latitude, which limits things. It’s mostly taiga and tundra, with the Great Steppe in the south. No deserts like the American Midwest or rain forests like the Pacific Northwest.
Russia by and large doesn’t give a shit about its nature as long as it’s huge and can be exploited so it’s not like they’re producing many documentaries etc. about it.
This is a cool project, though: Re-creating megafauna habitat, turning tundra into steppe. And in true Russian fashion, in lieu of living mammoths running over trees they used a tank.

It’s peppered into the Planet earth series and I believe Our Planet as well. The Taiga in Russia is a massive and beautiful, untouched ecosystem.
