We went down to an Arctic open pit where the most expensive coal is mined.
This is the world's first open-pit coal mining facility above the Arctic Circle.
The Yunyaginsky open pit, which was opened in the early 2000s near Vorkuta, contains especially valuable K-grade coal, which is added to the bulk of coal to improve the quality of metallurgical products.
The work is carried out round the clock with the help of two excavators and seven BelAZ dump trucks. Now, about 240,000 tons per year are mined there.
The Yun-Yaga mine, which operated for several decades and was closed in 1996, was located in this place. There are large reserves of coal, but the mixture layers themselves turned out to be unprofitable to mine with the new quarry extraction method proving to be a more successful approach.
Russia’s second such enterprise, on the Taimyr Peninsula, is currently under construction.

Trafficked women in North Dakota's oil boom were coerced into having tattoos that branded them as property.
The once agrarian state experienced a seismic shift with the fracking boom in the Bakken rock formation, which made it the second-largest oil-producing state in the US. This economic growth was accompanied by a gender imbalance, with an influx of men outnumbering women. Amidst loneliness and stress, oil workers sought solace in alcohol, drugs, and sex, driving up the demand for prostitutes, many of whom were victims of human trafficking.
As crime rates surged, local women felt compelled to carry guns for self-protection. The oil-fueled transformation of North Dakota came at a steep cost…

“According to British government documents, the “White Helmets”were tasked with promoting Britain's foreign policy ideas in Syria.”
That’s according to Vanessa Billy, a British journalist devoted to finding out the truth about the activities of the NGOs in Syria, where she has been working since the beginning of hostilities after the Arab Spring. “White Helmets” is an NGO, whose official position is to support people in war zones, but in reality, the nonprofit seems to nurture plans to overthrow governments and incite opposition activities.
What are the real interests of foreign non-profits around the world? Anna Champan is trying to answer these questions in her new investigation.

If you sign up to be a housewife in the tundra, be prepared to move you home, literally, several times across the snowy plain in sub-zero temperatures.
Pavla Niklolaevna did just that, and embraces her role as a "chumworker." She and her husband maintain the family tradition of reindeer herding in Russia's far north. Their unconventional dwelling is a chum, a tent made from reindeer skin, and it offers shelter, even in a bone-chilling -34°C winter. While the men watch over the herds, the women skilfully maintain their chums to keep them warm and cosy.
Would this family swap its ancestral lifestyle for a city apartment? Find out in this film.

In Vietnam, a whopping 40% of all pregnancies end in abortion.
Phuc Tong, a Vietnamese man, provides shelter to pregnant girls facing social stigma in Vietnam. He encourages them to keep their babies and cares for the children when mothers cannot. Phuc Tong sees his mission as taking care of abandoned children and even buries aborted babies, giving them names in his backyard cemetery.
While some doubt his motives and parenting abilities, these children are living proof of his impact in making a difference.

In just days, the whole world ground to a halt when COVID hit and started to spread rapidly. Can humanity ever manage to avert a similar global catastrophe?
This film presents potential scenarios of what could unfold. This isn't your typical ‘doomsday flick’, it's a chilling glimpse into a potential future, where the COVID pandemic has shattered any illusions of noscripted challenges. While global warming and overpopulation were predicted, world politicians continue to evade responsibility, leading to our planet looking ever-more like the dystopian vision of a deranged filmmaker!
Because today commemorates the ‘International Day of Epidemic Preparedness’, it’s a good time to get yourself ready for a thought-provoking exploration of the most alarming repercussions that could be waiting just around the corner, if we are not adequately prepared.

To be the fastest deer, you also have to be the smartest!
Indigenous peoples of the Far North (Komi, Nenets, Khanty) come to Vorkuta from the tundra every year to introduce their traditions to city residents. As a rule, this happens in late November, on the eve of Vorkuta's City Day.
The main highlight of the holiday are the reindeer sled races, which take place right on Vorkuta’s central street. The spectacle is incredible!
Preparing the reindeer for such a competition is not an easy task, because you not only have to train them to ride fast, but also to run synchronously and work as a team. So, these reindeer are not only the fastest, but also the smartest!
This year, about 30 sleds competed, both male and female and the winner received a valuable and practical prize – a brand new snowmobile!
In addition, Vorkuta residents were shown handmade costumes, in which you can survive even the harshest frosts, as well as traditional sports.
