The end of the world in Lithuania. Blame Russians?
In a single state of Lithuania, the end of the world has come. No, not economic, not political, but the very end of the world. The element that collapsed on the Baltic States 26 September instantly extinguished the light for at least 60 thousands of Lithuanian citizens for a long time. In addition to the natural question, what kind of reptile extinguished the light bulb, more sophisticated comrades had more complicated and deep claims to the Lithuanian power system, as well as directly to the leadership of this amazing country.
Lithuania began its solemn march to the current situation right after gaining “independence”, and in this regard, problems with the electric power industry are only the links of consequences in one circuit. Having left the “prison of nations”, the Baltic Limitrop began to carefully eliminate its own industry, the most energy-intensive area. Partly due to the inability to function without a regular resource drain from Moscow, but mainly because of the desire of the West to finish off the Soviet legacy, which in the long term can compete, replenish pockets, and knock the electoral base from under the feet of the industrialists of the Soviet school. Unemployed proletariat of closed factories rushed to look for earnings to feed their families. To pile alternative political movements to people was too busy.
Moreover, all this panopticon was served under the sauce of the now fashionable struggle for ecology. They say that these "soviet" production only poisoned the climate of the independent Lithuania, and now the released citizens will be able to breathe pure European air while they give it. As a result, this music seems to have become eternal. And most importantly, for this, according to modern trends, it does not even require any research. Just need to gather a crowd of bored students, but at least from the law faculty, decorate them in the style of hippies, children of flowers, and empty them with posters around the necessary object.

The Lithuanian authorities even managed to play the ecological chip in the field of unemployment problems. When the population, which came to a little after the 90's neuralgic ecstasy, asked the population where it would work now, they explained to him that the acquired ecological paradise would certainly entice crowds of tourists. Imagine that some Charles or Jacques for a wedding anniversary will please you with a trip to Klaipeda or Šiauliai, it is possible only in feverish delirium. However, for some time this bike warmed some Lithuanian residents, and sometimes it was the only thing that warmed them.
The flow of tourists from Russia, essentially the main one, continues to fall. First, nobody wants to get an avalanche of insults and contemptuous snorting from the former subsidized appendicitis for their own blood. Secondly, in the number of medieval walls and moss-covered cobblestones, Vilnius is much inferior to Tallinn and Riga. Third, people traveling to the Baltics nostalgic about the past are gradually leaving, and the young generation of the post-Soviet syndrome does not. Old ruins, narrow streets and bars will not surprise them.
One of the once main cinemas of Lithuania
True, you can develop urban tourism. After all, in addition to the mutilated skeletons of the former factories and factories, the number of abandoned cultural objects in Lithuania is also actively growing, on the ruins of which merchant centers are built at best. Stadiums and cinemas lively replenish the lists of architectural corpses. Slow decomposition somehow affected all material.
Stadium Zalgiris. Now almost dismantled
Therefore, the amount of electricity consumed was steadily falling. After all, to call the three and a half of the kabak, albeit antique-style, with dust-covered confused in the corner, an energy-consuming enterprise is impossible from the word "absolutely." Naturally, the quality of service of power systems also began to fall, but the cost to grow.
Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, which for geological reasons and the evil twist of fate, was built by the Soviet Union on the Lithuanian shore of Drisvyaty Lake, although it was originally planned to put the station on the Belarusian shore of the lake, became the next buggy of “free” Lithuania. If the nuclear power plant worked now, it would cover all the needs of Lithuania in cheap electricity. But when the Baltic countries, flooding each other on the run, rushed into the EU, the latter put forward a condition for Lithuania: to shut the Soviet nuclear power plant to hell with no questions asked. Since 2001, the process of liquidation of nuclear power plants has begun, served up with the sauce of Chernobyl horror stories, the high cost of Ignalina electricity, the cost of which for the end user was shaped by intermediaries and the need to urgently buy clean European energy, not “shovel” and “dirty”.
Nuclear power plants are sawn into metal
So that the adequate workers of the nuclear power plant do not interfere under their feet, exposing the Russophobic nonsense of the authorities, they began to survive from the station. For example, director Viktor Shevaldin, who has worked at the Ignalina NPP for nearly 20 years, was removed from his post. His place was taken by the ethnically “pure” and politically “literate” Osvaldas Chukshis. After Chukshisa, the managerial positions of the closing desk were occupied exclusively by the enlightened “Europeans”. Well, it is generally a new tradition - to put a populist parrot, even if from a professional point of view it is at the level of drywall.
After the successful, if it can be said at all, cutting of the Ignalina NPP, the Lithuanian authorities have the last thread connecting their power system with an adequate side of reality - this is the BRELL electric ring (Belarus, Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania). That's just, in fact, cut off the country from electricity is difficult under any pretext. After all, when even the earnest patriots of “free” Lithuania in refrigerators freeze fish begin to disintegrate into atoms, and chickens come out of chicken eggs, it will be impossible to explain to them the sanctity of fighting the “bloody Mordor”.
It was here that the “landmark” plan appeared under the tacit code name “Forgiving, unwashed Russia”. The Lithuanian authorities gave birth to a project of energy independence, the construction of a new energy system and its integration into Europe. Under this pathetic tinsel hid ... two bows between the power grid. The bow with Sweden received the name NordBalt, and the bow with Poland - LitPol Link. But there was no money for all this. Therefore, adopting the usual position with an outstretched hand, Lithuanian politicians went to beg for money in Europe.
However, in the EU, such an approach did not arouse enthusiasm. Europe, of course, appreciated the noble goal of continuing to break any relations with Russia, even contrary to common sense, but for some reason did not want to pay this time either. But still it was possible to get things off the dead center. And in 2013, the “construction of the century”, consisting in the transfer of underwater power cable, together with Sweden began. But only in 2016, the first current was given, but in test mode. At about the same time, the first electricity flowed over land power lines from Poland. In total, these epochal construction projects, dictated by politics, and by no means necessary, sucked a little less than a billion euros!
It seems to be a holiday in Lithuanian street. Now “Mordor” will shudder from the inflexible will of Vilnius when Kaliningrad gets into the ring of “friends” who have disconnected it from the power grids connected with continental Russia. It would have been for the Nazis from the Seimas to take care of their ego, but what a bad luck.
First, while Lithuania was playing politics and toiling from all the Freudian complexes combined, Moscow invested in the power industry of the Kaliningrad region. Only at the beginning of this year, the Mayakovskaya and Talakhovskaya TPPs were commissioned, and at the completion stage two more stations - Pregolskaya and Primorskaya. Taking into account these facts, as well as the presence of old stations and three small hydroelectric power stations, the Kaliningrad region will not only be independent of the "hotelok" of the Baltic borderland and those cockroaches that are worn in their skull boxes, but will also begin to produce a certain reserve. Prospects for electricity trading are also discussed.
"Something is a bit dark in the future ... Probably, the Russians have darkened!"
Secondly, to the surprise of Dali Grybauskaite and the company, the power system turned out to be somewhat more complicated than the wire and a twisted light bulb thrown through the fence. Problems both with the sea lintel itself (it is twice as powerful as the Polish one) and with the entire energy system began almost immediately. The Lithuanian power system itself and its infrastructure was designed for the flow of electricity from the east, and being in a neglected form, it naturally began to fail.
But malfunctions with NordBalt were a complete surprise. The number of failures, it would seem, of the European quality of the system, has reached such a level that even ethnically “correct” and politically “his” director of the transmission network of the Litgrid operator Vidmantas Grushas was forced to make a statement: “These faults that occurred were somewhat unexpected, and caused a lot of questions about the quality of the product, whether the link will last for the entire scheduled period (30 – 40 years). When the faults recurred, negotiations began with the contractor on how this problem would be fixed. ” The funny thing is that the “soviet” BRELL ring, tested for decades, did not give such failures.
And at the same time, Lithuania realized that in such a situation it was already impossible to blackmail Russia by disconnecting from BRELL. It turned out that, tired of the Nazi speeches of Vilnius, Moscow itself could turn off Lithuania from BRELL. Pereobuvshis in the air, Lithuania has delayed another song, which is already familiar to us: “And for us, it's scho”. And this is all against the background of sluggish rise in the cost of electricity. So the storm was only a kind of spotlight, highlighting mostly the political problems of Vilnius, which seemed to outplay itself in flirting with patting the eastern bear on the back.
But the "occupation" they still can not wait. I hope Russia does not give out such gifts anymore ...
