A Murmansk-based environmental organization Bellona, recently named a “foreign agent”, reports that a claim was made by the deputy minister of the environment of the Murmansk oblast Vladimir Khrutsky that cross-border pollution from Norway is responsible for 52% of all industrial pollution in the Kola Peninsula. Quite consistent with the current trend of looking for enemies within (eg. “foreign agents”) or without (the West).
