The film Sunshine to be released August 18th
I had the privilege of watching the film in its entirety last night on a Russian language video site. It was gory, but very good.

The film is set in the breakaway republic of Lugansk in May, 2014. It shows the start of the separatist movement. the story centers around the foreshortened lives of two families, who were unaware of what was happening until it was too late.

The trailer is in Russian but in a translatable format::




Curiously, the Lugansk ruling government has yet to comment on the film.

The crash of the Mi-8 helicopter in Kamchatka
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

A commerical MI-8 passenger helicopter crashed into Lake Kuril in South Kamchatka Wildlife Refuge

[KP] The first to help the boats went to the staff of the Kronotsky Reserve, who heard the crash.

According to preliminary data, rescuers managed to find eight people alive , at least two of them were seriously injured. The search for the rest continues. There were 16 people on board, including 13 tourists.

Rescuers from the regional base went to the scene. A helicopter with divers and an aircraft from the Territorial Center for Disaster Medicine are being prepared. Two aircraft of the Vityaz-Aero airline operate on site.

The crashed Mi-8 sank under water. According to the preliminary version, bad weather could have been the cause of the disaster: the helicopter landed in very poor visibility conditions, and there were heavy fogs in this region in the morning. Other priority versions: pilot error and technical malfunction.

One of the victims of the MI-8 helicopter crash in Kamchatka, near the Kronotsky Reserve, was a family from St. Petersburg: two parents and a child. By a happy coincidence, the father survived, the mother and the 17-year-old young man have not yet been found - and the chances of a miracle are diminishing by the second.

As the son of one of the surviving tourists , Mikhail Strelkin, told KP-Petersburg , a large group of acquaintances gathered in the ill-fated helicopter on August 12.

"Mikhail loved extreme, but his wife did not share this hobby": Mother and son from St. Petersburg cannot be found after a helicopter crash in Kamchatka.

β€œIt was only part of the group,” Mikhail explained. "In general, about twenty people went to Kamchatka from St. Petersburg, probably. A month ago, they agreed, called their father, 'well, let's go.' Already on the spot, apparently, they split up; some went on foot, others chose a helicopter flight to the Khodutka volcano. The helicopter, as far as I know, was ordered in advance, back in St. Petersburg.

"If we consider the version that the helicopter hit its nose, then it is very surprising that so many people were saved. While the aircraft is in the water, it is possible to leave it through the escape hatches. But it all depends on the position of the helicopter, if it hits its nose or falls on its side, then there is almost no chance. The blades begin to chop off the beam of the helicopter, it does not float and sinks quickly. Then there are 15 seconds to get out. The survivors were extraordinarily lucky, they probably had strong guardian angels," Stanislav Shtinov, a helicopter pilot of the Russian Emergencies Ministry told KP.

Rosturizm after the crash of the Mi-8 also check compliance with safety requirements in the provision of tourist services in Kamchatka.

Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia Bastrykin instructed to report on the progress of the investigation of the criminal case into the crash of the MI-8 helicopter in Kamchatka

According to open sources, Igor Redkin owns 49.5% of shares in the authorized capital of Vityaz-Aero LLC. The rest of the company's shares belong to the co-owners of the Okeanrybflot fishing company. He is also the founder of the Vityaz-Travel travel company and owns a 50% stake in the authorized capital.

We will remind, Igor Redkin said that he accidentally shot a man in the village of Ozernovsky, confusing him with a bear. After being detained, he withdrew his candidacy from the elections and suspended his membership in the party.

After the helicopter crash in Kamchatka, Rostransnadzor will conduct an unscheduled inspection of the Vityaz-Aero airline.

#3  I believe that Ted Turner has, or at least had, a huge spread on Kamchatka.
