Military parades with flags of the Russian Federation: How does Russian enclave Barenzburg live in Norway (video)

A year ago, the locals almost joined the parade in honor of May 9, which staged a Russian diplomat. About the "dangerous neighborhood" of Norway with the Russian enclave was told on the YouTube channel of the opposition Rosmia "Infantry Time". Journalists showed their lives in the town of Barenzburg, located on the second largest Svalbard island. The terrain, starting the 20th century, is under the control of Russians.

The local mining company received 300-350 thousand tons of coal (in 2023-100 thousand tons) and sent them to the Russian Federation. Journalists noted that the company is Russian, but for unknown reasons do not extend sanctions adopted by Norway due to the invasion of Russians into Ukraine. Residents of Brenzburg - Russians, Ukrainians, are also Tajiks, according to video. It is also explained that the settlement is located behind the polar circle.

On Google Maps we see that the town is 1 thousand km from Murmansk. In addition, at a distance of 800 km - Greenland Island (who would like to buy "US President Donald Trump). During the USSR, Norway led this territory to the concession to the Russians for the development of minerals. The Concession Agreement is concluded within the so -called "Svalbard Treaty" between the nine countries of Northern Europe.

On the territory of the town there is a Russian state company "Arctic Visl", to hear on video. The company has appeared in the USSR and produces coal for 90 years. The company employs locals, which in Brenburg there are about a thousand. In addition, there is a non -freezing seaport, aerodrome and all the necessary infrastructure.

Journalists have given the opinion of local Russian Masha: she assured that local Russians do not support the war of the Russian Federation and do not want to kill Ukrainians. The video told about some of the Norwegian authorities to limit the activities of the Russian Federation. For example, local officials recommended business not to cooperate with Arctic Ustil. As a result, only two ships with tourists enter the port. "If you come there, you invest in hostilities.

We have such a small Soviet Union here," the people who live here told reporters. Journalists showed some of the details of the life of the Russians in Brenzburg, located 40 km from the capital of Svalbard Islands. For example, on May 9, 2024, locals with the support of the Russian diplomat held festive celebrations. The report, filmed by The Barents Observer, showed a military parade, which was attended by 50 vehicles-cars, tractors, and ATVs.

On each car - flags of the Russian Federation and the USSR. The Russian helicopter was "covered" from above, and a magnificent "Landkruzer" of a Russian diplomat was riding in front of them. The authors of the report also noted that the parade men were dressed in clothing similar to military uniforms. The video explained that "almost all residents of Brenzburg" took part in the celebrations.

It should be noted that Focus wrote about sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation and its coal industry by Western partners of Ukraine. In particular, since 2022 they announced the ban on the transportation of Russian coal. Meanwhile, in August it turned out that Poland did not fulfill the restrictions: journalists spoke about frauds with the participation of entrepreneurs from Kazakhstan.
