Vladimir Putin held yesterday a meeting after another mining disaster in Kemerovo region which killed 51 people. To tell you the truth, it was just pathetic.
Mining accidents are relatively frequent in Russia, as the old Soviet infrastructure is falling apart, the wages of miners are low and the profits go to European and American banks. Putin knows it very well, it’s the system he created – no regard for human life, just money.
For more than 20 year Putin has been saying the same words after every other disaster. And nothing ever changes.
In all seriousness, we could give the President a tip which will effectively solve the problem and reduce the number of industrial disasters in Russia. The core problem is that human life is historically cheap in Russia.
So, the owners of businesses should pay at least $1mln for every life lost. If someone is badly hurt in an accident, they should pay all medical costs and give $500'000 above.
Nothing else will work.
