"Chemical factories poison people day and night. In the summer, the water in the Volga River blossoms and stinks, and the fish dies. High rates of oncological diseases among the population. Most people have asthma and allergies. In 2023, the number of tuberculosis and syphilis cases increased. Corruption and crime. Poverty and ruin. Wealthy region: gas, oil, Volga river, land, large enterprises, but poor people."
