Dmitriev: A tunnel under the Bering Strait will be built

Moscow and Washington are not abandoning the Bering Strait tunnel project, which will connect not only the two countries but also two continents. According to Russian Presidential Special Representative Kirill Dmitriev, the signing of the tunnel agreement is scheduled for tomorrow.

On Friday, June 5, at the SPIEF, an agreement is planned to be signed to continue the design of a tunnel under the Bering Strait, which will connect Alaska and Chukotka. Dmitriev emphasized that the tunnel will be built as part of economic cooperation between Russia and the United States.

Tomorrow we're signing an agreement to continue designing the tunnel. The tunnel will be built. It will be one of the major infrastructure projects between our countries.

Discussions about constructing a tunnel under the Bering Strait began last October. Both Moscow and Washington expressed interest in the project. Preliminary feasibility studies for the tunnel's construction have reportedly already been completed.

The planned tunnel will be a railway tunnel, approximately 98-113 km long, linking the transport systems of Eurasia and North America. Construction, using advanced technologies, will take up to eight years and cost $8 billion. However, these are preliminary estimates.

[marchcat]

Well, "our people" definitely have nowhere to put their money. I wonder how much the Americans will invest in the project, or will it be like Turkey again?

[Blacksmith 55]

There, for the tunnel, infrastructure needs to be built somewhere from Khabarovsk to Chukotka.
And how much more money will go there?
Permafrost, mountains, swamps, tunnels.
If the money hadn't been going scammed, it might have been manageable. But the amount would have increased exponentially.

[Cympak]

The Rotenberg brothers will probably do the construction.

Dmitriev: A tunnel under the Bering Strait will be built

This Dmitriev tunnel under the Bering Strait is a diversion of Russia's current resources from the Northeast Asian region, aimed at weakening and maintaining Russia's colonial dependence on the United States in the Far East.

And it could also involve Russia in the US war against China.

No one in Washington is abandoning these US war plans against China.

[aybolyt678]

Quote: Tatiana

This is a diversion of Russia's current resources from the Central Military District.

Of course. But it also means Americans have access to our resources. In the 1990s, an American company with a Russian name, Omolon Mining Company, actually Cyprus and Panamerican, mined gold in the Magadan region. Open-pit mining. They simply blasted the rock, loaded it onto trucks, and transported it along the winter road to American barges in Magadan. This deposit was Kubaka; large nuggets were transported by helicopter. This is what I know personally: gold was mined using the onion-shaped method. The onion is the center of the deposit, with veins extending from it. The Americans mined the onion and gave the veins to us. You won't find this online. The gold was transported by trucks and barges.

[Evgeny64]

Well, Stalin, "diverting resources" from the war, built a railway to Igarka, a tunnel to Sakhalin, and so on. This is the development of territories that are currently difficult to access by transport.
The tunnel to Alaska is a bunch of roads from our side to Chukotka that don't exist.
Everyone is joking around like this, but apparently you haven't lived in the North. Any initiative in this direction is life in those parts.
They're just starting to restore the road to Igarka and further to Norilsk. I was surprised to read that our "efficient" people discovered an "unknown" road there. Damn, we always knew it was built under Stalin, but then abandoned, and our ministers didn't even know about it.
Until we have roads to the North, we will not be able to develop anything.

[Tatyana]

Quote: Evgeny64

Well, Stalin, "diverting resources" from the war, built a railway to Igarka, a tunnel to Sakhalin, etc.

However, Stalin's construction of the railway to Igarka and the tunnel to Sakhalin during the war constituted the construction of domestic road infrastructure on the territory of Russia itself for the unification of our country, and not the construction of road infrastructure for the regions of our country with the United States as a military accomplice of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the EU and NATO countries in the US-Russia proxy war on the territory of Ukraine!!!
And not with Russia's enemy, the United States, in the upcoming planned US war against Russia and China in the east of our country! And 90% of the construction will be financed by Russia!!!

You either don't understand Kirill Dmitriev's pro-American separatism against Russia out of stupidity, or you yourself are as pro-American as Kirill Dmitriev in the Kremlin!

This is not a distraction!

Judging by the map, the Chinese and Japanese could join in. The Rotenbergs stand a good chance of missing out.

Give Dmitriev a shovel already! Let him go and dig...
He won't calm down until he moves to Miami permanently...

[Wratch]

Rare. A sleek, polished beast. That tunnel is of little use, just a waste of money. And why not? Our rich citizens can handle a couple more taxes, and pensioners, they're just too greedy, you see, they're just siphoning off their money to scammers.
I get the impression that the entire elite is either about to flee to the moon or commit collective suicide. How much more crap can they take? They're just sitting there blowing bubbles in the manure.
And don't give him a shovel, let him dig with a child's shovel,

[Zoldat_A]

Quote from Wratch

We have rich citizens, they can handle a couple more taxes,

I don't understand the value of that tunnel. Even for wealthy citizens. If it were from the Moscow Ring Road straight to Miami... But here... you first have to get to the Bering Strait, then across two-thirds of North America...
A very simple way turning of Siberian rivers throwing away huge amounts of money who knows where, so that later, before the end of construction, get the hell out of here to Miami, and let those who care clean it up. If no one cares, too many heads could roll. It's easier to just close it and forget about it.

Why, when I look at his photograph, do I imagine him as A. Kozyrev’s neighbor? Although I never really believed in C.Lambroso's theory...

I read it and there was "exchange", and Stanford, and Harvard, and Goldman Sachs...
The biography, in general, is typical and normal for a Russian senior official.
But the old scoundrel Brzezinski was right: "Just think, whose elite is this?..."
When he escapes like the Red Fox, they'll DEFINITELY let someone like that into Miami. Maybe we should start criminal cases against them beforehand? By the time they escape, there'll be a whole pile of them...

In short, you can grab a pickaxe right now...

[old rats]

I think the Chinese are even more interested in this tunnel...
Although, on the other hand, sea transport is the cheapest...
Who knows.
But I would, first of all, build either a tunnel or a bridge to Sakhalin - that's where it was definitely needed yesterday.

[gsev]

Quote: U-58

And who will finance all this?

Nabiullina has stopped lending to industry, resulting in a two- to three-fold reduction in construction in Russia by 2026. A legal way to transfer funds seized from Russian industry to the United States is essential. The easiest way to blame this is on an unnecessary bridge and unnecessary transport infrastructure in the Far East. Near Lobnya, the railway to Sheremetyevo Airport was dismantled, even though 20 years ago, it was possible to transport an aircraft engine directly to the aircraft repair warehouse by rail, without the risk of getting soaked in snow and rain during transfer from the railway at Lobnya station to a truck at Sheremetyevo. Incidentally, near Lobnya, under Putin, the railway to the Ostankino state farm was dismantled, and in the northern Moscow region, a second track north of Dmitrov was dismantled. In Zaprudnya, during the dismantling of a kinescope factory for scrap metal, just one individual entrepreneur sold 20 trainloads of scrap metal.

[old rats]

This infrastructure will cost 20 times more than the cost of the tunnel itself.
And who will finance all this?

Verily!
People have little idea how much it costs to build an expensive building in Chukotka.
In the western part, from Bilibino to Pevek, there isn't a single kilometer of paved road. Not a single one! It's incredibly expensive and not durable. At best, there are dirt roads and winter roads.
I haven't been to the eastern part, but I suspect it's the same there.
Even the Soviet government was unable to do anything about this, although it could have done a lot - for example, it built a nuclear power plant in Bilibino.
But the roads - no, I couldn't handle them. They're expensive.

[saigon]

But this doesn't bother Kiryusha. He's not interested in engineering calculations at all; he's interested in making a buck. Life has taken him to the northeast of Yakutsk, far away in the Chersky Ridge region. The question is, how are Kiryusha and the gang planning to build it?

And for what purpose? What are they transporting through this tunnel?

[Sergei Fonov]

The cost of the Crimean Bridge has increased sixfold compared to the projected 48 billion rubles, and with permafrost and other unpredictable factors, they might be able to meet the 80 billion dollar budget, but maybe not.

It would be better if they built a tunnel to Sakhalin, it would be much more useful.

So everything is revealed. That's why Ryabkov recently mentioned the stench of Anchorage. I don't care how much our elites are drooling over it, it's such a big deal. But what if it turns out that way? What difference does it make? There's such a big deal at stake. I don't care; for a piece like that, I'd betray everyone and everything, sell them out.

Exactly! And the tunnel will be shorter, cheaper, and more beneficial for Russia!
Of course, the north needs to be developed too, but certainly not at such a price. I don't think there's going to be a huge cargo flow there.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

I remember this "genius" working in Ukraine, for Shufrich, I think, or Akhmetov. A native Kyiv Jew... Somehow he manages to change countries and governments. Listen to him with his tunnel, and you're reminded of Oleg Bender with his slogan "Let's hit the SVO and sloppiness with a tunnel" or the "Vasyukinsky Intergalactic Chess Tournament."

On Friday, June 5, at the SPIEF, an agreement is planned to be signed to continue the design of a tunnel under the Bering Strait, which will connect Alaska and Chukotka. Dmitriev emphasized that the tunnel will be built as part of economic cooperation between Russia and the United States.

More interesting topics could have been covered at the SPIEF. Everyone criticizes Gref, but in some respects he actually promotes useful things. St. Petersburg, SPIEF, June 4. Sberbank unveiled the first universal optical computer in Russia and one of the first in the world, designed for real-world artificial intelligence (AI) tasks. This was announced by Andrey Belevtsev, Senior Vice President and Head of Technological Development at Sberbank, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

The computer is based on a photonic integrated circuit, the architecture of which was completely developed by the company's researchers.
"In AI applications, photonic devices will deliver a fundamentally new level of speed and energy efficiency. The first prototype is already capable of performing over 1 billion matrix multiplication operations per second, and we see a path to increasing the frequency of optical operations to 10 GHz and beyond. The multiplication itself in optics occurs in fractions of a nanosecond; meanwhile, the power consumption of the optical core is more than 30% lower than its electronic counterparts," he said. An optical computer is a fundamentally new type of device: it uses light, not electronics, for calculations. The chip handles the most energy-intensive part of AI calculations—matrix multiplication, which bears the brunt of training and running large models. Light performs these operations virtually instantly and generates virtually no heat. As the technology advances, businesses will see significant reductions in the costs of training and running large models.

Belevtsev also noted that energy consumption by AI data centers is growing at a rate that is becoming a serious problem for both companies and the government. The transition to photonics is one of the realistic ways to reverse this trend and build a more efficient and scalable computing infrastructure. Another advantage for the country is that optical chip production is more easily localized than electronic chip production.

[Vinnibuh]

It's like that comedy club joke: are the components domestic? Yes!, but they're not ours.

[Orange Bigg]

Photonic integrated circuits have already been created and tested in Russia. Media reports have surfaced. Photonic integrated circuits with 90- and 350-nanometer topologies have been produced in Russia. They are needed to create optical quantum and neuromorphic processors, which are essential for accelerating artificial intelligence systems and computing devices.

[Bad_gr]

Quote from Orange Bigg

Sberbank presented the first universal optical computer in Russia and one of the first in the world, created for real-world tasks......

It reminds me of A. Chubais's presentation to the president, where he demonstrated a promising tablet for schoolchildren (instead of textbooks). It seemed like a good idea, too.

[Gavrilo Princip]

They also presented the Aurus, the Chinese Hongqi. And the Volga, the Chinese Geely.
It's scary to find out about the rest.

[KCA]

What the hell is a Geely Aurus? Developed in Russia, with a NAMI engine in collaboration with Porsche.

[Gavrilo Princip]

A Chinese Aurus branded as Hongqi has appeared in Europe.

Photos of the Hongqi N501 first surfaced in the Chinese press a little less than a year ago, almost simultaneously with the official debut of the Russian Aurus.
As for the visual similarity to the Aurus, well... There's no official information about it from either Russia or China, and there probably won't be. But it's long been an open secret that Aurus vehicles use Chinese components and parts.
So it is possible that the common design elements did not appear by chance.

Russia will thus continue funding the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Previously unwilling to invest in scientific development in Russia, Nabiullina donated approximately 300 billion to the West. Later, by selling oil to India for rupees, Russia essentially provided the Ukrainian Armed Forces with fuel for free. Russia won't need a tunnel under the Bering Strait for free for another 100 years. It's much cheaper to transport supplies to Chukotka and Alaska by sea than by winter road, whether from Magadan or Tynda. Even building a tunnel to Sakhalin is economically unviable. Instead of a tunnel across the Bering Strait, it would be more reasonable to build a tunnel or backup bridge across the Kerch Strait.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

I categorically support this. A backup bridge across the Kerch Strait to Crimea is absolutely necessary. Somewhere in London, they won't rest for another 100 years and will try to destroy the existing bridge, even if the fighting ends.
There are doubts about the tunnel's anti-terrorist capabilities. Reviving a flooded tunnel seems like a more difficult task than rebuilding a blown-up bridge.

[Sergei Fonov]

The tunnel project has been around since the 19th century. The US offered Nicholas II a truly royal proposal: they would build it themselves, and transfer all the infrastructure built to Russia for use. He declined. A railway is important in the context of colonization and land development. We have no one to develop it, so the question is, who will develop our lands, with our money? The question is largely rhetorical.

[gsev]

Quote: Sergei Fonov

The tunnel project has existed since the 19th century.

Every country has its own unique designs. Under the Taliban, they tried to create a limousine for the rich in Afghanistan. The first prototype was built. But it's unlikely Afghan automakers will be able to compete with Ford and Rolls-Royce. The USSR largely perished due to investing money in crazy projects. At my first job, I was tasked with arranging stacker cranes in the layout area. I couldn't fit them all in the workshop area and wondered how necessary they were. According to my preliminary calculations, their number was 10 or 20 times greater than what was needed. My proposal to cut their number by half was called anti-Soviet, and I was warned that a senior official at the Ministry of Defense Industry should be pleased to see the stackers in the layout area on December 31st. A year later, I saw these stackers in Salavat. They were about 1% full. Moreover, the plant there seemed to be practically idle due to a lack of workers and competent engineers. Projects like the Bering Tunnel and the people promoting them are more dangerous to Russia than the CIA, SBU, Ukrainian Armed Forces, and NATO combined.

[KCA]

What's wrong with Turkey? Russia owns 49% of the nuclear power plant, Turkey is the operator, Russia has the right to sell its stake to a third party, the maintenance personnel are full of our people, the fuel is ours, a nuclear power plant in any country takes years to pay for itself, but here we have people working, and the fuel doesn't cost a pittance.

[marchcat]

The official website for the plant under construction explicitly states that the Russian state nuclear corporation's share in the project is 99,2 percent, and the total cost is estimated at $20 billion. Therefore, the "build-own-operate" formula should, at a minimum, now include a fourth clause: "clean up after yourself." And perhaps even a fifth: "be fully responsible for everything."

[KCA]

Given the development of fast neutron reactors in the Russian Federation, we will soon be collecting nuclear waste worldwide. The BN-1200 and BREST reactors will use their current waste as fuel, or at a minimum, burn it. The BN-800 already burns waste, but this is an experiment, and the new ones will operate normally on a mixture of waste, including U-238.

[Sergei Fonov]

That's true, but we also built for ourselves in the former Soviet republics, and our specialists worked there. Then it all became foreign, and even our specialists became citizens of other countries. And what about us? We need to build for ourselves from scratch.

[Sokolov_Vladimir]

My relative went to Magadan about 5 years ago to build a road. The road to Chukotka was supposed to be finished by 2024, but they're only building 5 km a year.

Dmitriev: A tunnel under the Bering Strait will be built

Strange ...
Public sector workers' salaries are being cut, and here we have a Klondike - there's even "extra" money for a tunnel, just to appease Donnie "Rusty"'s whistling ego.

[alexoff]

just to please Donnie the "rusty"'s whistling ego

I don't remember anything like that from him; it's Dmitriev and other Kremlin insiders who are running around with the tunnel. And the Americans don't seem to remember anything; they're mostly talking about arms supplies to Ukraine.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

In our country, for example, construction of a tunnel to Tuapse on the Shaumyan Pass has been abandoned, and the construction of the northern bypass around Timashevsk has been abandoned or postponed. In my opinion, the bypass around Timashevsk and the tunnel to Tuapse are ten times more important than the tunnel to Alaska.

[Sergei Fonov]

The tunnel at Tuapse means coastal development and a flood of tourists, which is simply a disaster for cozy luxury mansions. Strangers don't go there.

[Sergey Novikov_3]

The United States is the main supplier of missiles to Ukraine, which bring death to our people. They serve the interests of Ukrainian intelligence. The US Secretary of State admitted that the US is a party to the conflict on Ukraine's side... This is 100% treason.

[Malynets_]

Of course it's treason... it's sickening and disgusting to hear. We have nowhere to invest... they've torn the country apart. They could have become a second China... but now it's a raw materials appendage.

[alexoff]

What did you expect from a graduate of an organization banned in Russia? The question is, who appointed him?

[Ivan F]

Wow, that would be a waste of a millennium! And we need to simplify resource export logistics, so it would be quite a "useful" thing.

[Cympak]

Another megaproject like Nord Stream. The main thing is to utilize public assets during construction, and how and why they will be exploited is of no concern to the "builders."

[Ivan F]

Moreover, this megaproject is designed exclusively for the export of everything and anything—there. And if it works out and they actually dig something up, they'll get two birds with one stone. And our resources will flow through it like a river.

[Sergey Novikov_3]

Unfortunately, that's not all. If they (the Americans) isolate Chukotka, they could instantly deploy huge military contingents there and, within days, disperse throughout the entire Russian Far East.

[Ivan F]

By the way, you have a good idea. Maybe they (the Americans) are also using it as a pretext for a showdown with China. That's why they've jumped on this "plan."

[alexoff]

No wonder they seized on this "plan".

They don't give a damn about this plan. They want to get the spirit of Anchorage through this tunnel and send their kids to Stanford. The Americans don't have roads to Alaska; they supply it by sea and air. And if they decide to take the Far East from us, they'll do it by sea too. They're a maritime power, not a land one. Seattle is a major port through which they can ship anything directly, not like the fools who take a detour by rail through the tundra with an extra 5 km.

[Ivan F]

"And if they decide to take the Far East from us, they'll do it by sea too." With what's happening there now, it's clearly China doing the taking. And the Americans probably saw the "pie" was ready and were already starting to slice it, so they decided to move in through the tunnel. No one will even ask us; both sides will simply buy what they need. And then they'll start their squabbles. And the fact that the Americans, like the Chinese, have their eye on Siberia and the Far East is certain.

[alexoff]

The Chinese are incompetent at territorial control for some reason. They can't even rein in Mongolia or Nepal; in Myanmar, for example, they sponsor opposing sides and just sit back and say "no" to them. And we're really short on resources in the Far East; we're traditionally sending resources from Sakhalin to Japan, and Western Siberia is where the real useful stuff is. As for the idea of ​​Americans landing somewhere in Chukotka or Magadan to build temporary airfields for an attack on northern China—that was a long-running article in Vzglyad, and it's a shame we'll ever drive the Americans out of there—we have nothing to do with it, and our logistics are poor. And for them, they boarded a transport in warm California and delivered everything in a few days.

[Ivan F]

"The Chinese don't know how to control territories for some reason." Control of populated areas, maybe. But I think they can control those empty thousands of square kilometers. There are already small towns in our territory where the Chinese are the overwhelming majority. Another 20 years and there won't be any of us left there.

"We're really short on resources in the Far East," the main resource being the land itself. And both sides have enough brains to use it. Unlike...
Obviously, not now, but with an eye on the distant future, the Americans could establish a convenient foothold against China there. And China won't wait. That's why I'm somewhat worried about Siberia and the Far East under the current leadership. I hope they don't oversleep.

[alexoff]

Quote: Ivan F

And I think empty thousands of square kilometers can.

And why? They'll sell it to them cheap anyway; wages in China are higher than ours, so the Chinese will cut down the forest at a higher price.

Quote: Ivan F

There are already towns on our territory where the Chinese are the overwhelming majority.

There aren't any, the Chinese have left and are now crowding into denser cities. And housing availability there is even worse than ours – prices are exorbitant, just like in other Asian countries, and no one wants to move to ghost towns.

Quote: Ivan F

In another 20 years there won't be any of us left there.

Yes, in 70 years there will be around 400 million Chinese, and in general the trends for humanity are sad.

Quote: Ivan F

the main resource is the earth itself.

Far Eastern hectare or something? Siberia will likely be able to be properly ploughed in about a hundred years, and what will happen by then is completely unclear. Currently, for every dollar of global debt, only 20-30 cents of GDP is added. Under normal circumstances, it should circulate through the economy ten times over, but now the money is flowing out en masse. And this can't be resolved without a great deal of bloodshed. Either the hundred or so richest families on the planet must be wiped out, or they will ruin and bankrupt humanity.

[Lako]

Yes, it seems like this is a purely political project. And its goal is to kowtow to Trump. As for the costs, 8 billion—compared to the 200 billion invested in the Western economy, it seems—is a pittance.

[Nastia makarova]

Alaska Highway, there's a road there.

[alexoff]

Which road is this? Very good supply, cheap.

[Nastia makarova]

You said there was no road, but there is a road.

[alexoff]

Some kind of road, not a railway. There are winter roads to Chukotka too, are you starting to dig?

He's fussing over this tunnel like a fool with a written bag. What are they supposed to carry through it? Are they just gawking tourists?

[spektr9]

US troops will be deployed along it to capture the Far East, that's why they're building it.

[smart fellow]

What is there to transport on it?

Kamchatka, Magadan Oblast, and Chukotka form one of Russia's richest mineral resource bases. These regions possess vast reserves of precious metals (gold, silver, platinum), base and rare metals, as well as fuel and energy resources and construction materials.

[alexoff]

Is that you, Dmitriev? Are you looking to sell more to the West? They mine little there besides gold.

[smart fellow]

More? Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump discussed the possibility of large-scale economic cooperation, in which Russia offered the United States access to its mineral resources. The main subject of potential deals was rare earth metals (REMs), essential for the development of microelectronics and the defense industry.

[alexoff]

I also remember an extremely profitable deal being discussed there regarding the sale of gas pipelines to the Americans, a massive profit!

[smart fellow]

So, apart from selling resources, nothing else really works out, and pensions and salaries for officials need to be paid.
I found a salary list at Roskomnadzor online (I'm writing this from memory): acting director - 990,000, chief accountant and department director - 880,000. According to the job posting, deputy head of department at Roskomnadzor earns 250,000, and department heads in government agencies usually earn much more than deputy heads.
How to pay for this celebration of life?

[alexoff]

So, apart from selling resources, nothing else really works.

Of course, appointing Manturov and Chemezov to lead. As they said in a famous film: Boris, don't hire idiots for this job!
And then they appointed kleptomaniacs too

I came across a payroll sheet from Roskomnadzor online.

How modest, I think we have a lot of people in our government who deserve to be at the top of the Russian Forbes list.

[Andrey Ko]

When there's nothing worthwhile to say, mega-projects emerge, like a tunnel to rotten Anchorage, river diversions, the construction of the Vostochny Cosmodrome, and, most importantly, the global budget, with a breath of fresh air.

[AshPoseidon]

After the tunnel, hold a referendum in Alaska and include our territory into Russia, as it was before 1867.

[Andrey Victorovich]

US Secretary of State Rubio recently said, "We don't supply arms to Russia, we only supply arms to Ukraine... We don't impose sanctions on Ukraine, we only impose sanctions on Russia. So we've clearly chosen a side." The Secretary of State also noted that the US continues to sell weapons to Kyiv. The US is drafting a bill to allocate a new $400 million military aid package to Ukraine. The US House of Representatives has already approved an initiative that includes these funds, as well as tough sanctions against Russia. Is Dmitriev a complete idiot or just for one hemisphere?

[cmax]

Russia had two problems: fools and roads. The roads have improved a bit, but the… well, apparently, haven't!

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The roads haven't improved. Our regional center is facing a planned deterioration of its road infrastructure. It's getting worse year after year. U-turns and turns are being pushed further away, one-way traffic is being introduced, left turns are being banned, and pedestrian crossings are becoming more difficult. The straight-line route from point to point is 5 km, but after the reorganization, it's 9 km or more. Traveling around the city is becoming increasingly inconvenient and dangerous. Where a straight road could have been built, they're making it a circuitous route. It's as if the city is being avenged for the defeat of the Nazi troops here.

[Pavel57]

What track width is planned?

[U-58]

You bet, Stephenson. Whoever buys the girl dinner will dance with her.

[Alexander Elizarov]

Dmitriev: A tunnel under the Bering Strait will be built

Whatever the child amuses himself with, as long as he doesn't cry.

[Victor Alien]

The economic justification will NEVER be calculated. There are too many unknowns, and the main problem here is geology and politics. Furthermore, we need to build a railway line along the entire coast from Murmansk through Kamchatka to Vladivostok, preferably a railway – this is far more necessary from the standpoint of providing everyone with the entire NSR and, most importantly, the security of the local borders. And we need to think very carefully about whether it's even possible to build anything at the junction of tectonic plates when there are a bunch of volcanic eruptions on our side of Kamchatka. In case anyone has forgotten, the coast there recently shifted by two meters – whether a tunnel or bridge can withstand such a shift is a trillion-dollar question.

[Belisarius]

Well, this is a classic!
"Don't worry," said Ostap, "my project guarantees your city an unprecedented boom in productivity. Just think what will happen when the tournament is over and all the guests have left. Muscovites, hampered by the housing crisis, will flock to your magnificent city. The capital automatically moves to Vasyuki. The government comes here. Vasyuki is renamed New Moscow, Moscow—Old Vasyuki. The people of Leningrad and Kharkov grit their teeth, but can't do anything about it. New Moscow becomes the most elegant center of Europe, and soon the world."
- All over the world!!! - the stunned Vasyukin residents groaned.
- Yes! And subsequently the universe
P.S. The main precept of the Yeltsin-Putin regime was voiced by one of its founding fathers: "The main thing is more impudence," or "A sucker, not a mammoth, will not die out."

[Right hand of the eye]

What a disgrace... How can we even talk about any kind of economic cooperation with enemies who dream of destroying us and do everything to achieve this, introducing extremely painful sanctions against us, killing our people, etc., not to mention this tunnel, which is questionable in terms of economic feasibility and necessity?
We live in absurd times, indeed. And people, including members of the upper echelons, are so stupid, unintelligent, short-sighted, led, and susceptible to lies that it's downright disgusting for humanity... But then, humanity deserves its fate... That's why the "devil" skillfully rules today's narrow-minded world. His cabal is wise and clever, easily manipulating feeble-minded fools.

[victor_47]

"... representatives of the highest elites are so stupid, unintelligent, short-sighted, led and susceptible to lies..."
It's time to ask the question: are these people ours? And if not ours, then whose are they?!

[Right hand of the eye]

Ours... whose else? The elites are like the people...

[Right hand of the eye]

Our country is bleeding thanks to the American enemies, it's being destroyed, etc., and yet these idiots are still dreaming of how to please these enemies, establish ties with them, etc. And, absurdly, these latter idiots call the American enemies neutral, peacekeepers, etc. Ugh...

[Right hand of the eye]

Okay, Rubio finally called a spade a spade, admitting they're our enemies and allies of the Ukrainians. But when smart people persisted in their claims, appealing to reason and citing concrete arguments and facts to prove it, the sheep, led by lies, didn't listen to them until the very end, refusing to believe them... However, even now I see the enemies, in fact, working for the lying propaganda of the devil on our TV, justifying their utter profanity early on (when they kept telling the people until the very end that Trump was ours), now by claiming that Trump really wanted it, but was dissuaded, denied, etc. It would be better if they simply admitted their profanity and absolute ignorance of those with whom we are dealing, their real strategic (I would even say - eternal) goals in relation to us, their lack of logical, analytical, etc., knowledge and sprinkled ashes on their heads, than now, trying to justify their mental weakness and short-sightedness, ignorance of the enemy, etc., they are trying to resort to yet another lie, thereby only multiplying it, as well as delusions among the people.

[Klaus8691]

Some kind of incomprehensible nonsense is going on. The SVO is underway, prices are rising, everything is just wonderful in the country, and then there's this incomprehensible project and it's unclear what its purpose is. What are our officials thinking?!

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

And here on the embankment, the landscaping done for the World Cup is being torn down and rebuilt. I wonder why? Even moving a curb or installing a public transport stop takes 30-40 years. But here they're taking it on with zeal.

[phrases]

So, a tunnel is such a small thing. A bridge to the moon, now that's a piece of cake! It's easy to justify. The kosher fraternity, with its leverage and a plethora of bullshit, can push through any astronomically expensive piece of crap using public funds, and the courtiers, smelling the scent of free shekels, will always be in favor.

[Fisher]

It's not exactly April Fools' Day. I'm no economist, of course, but building a railway there through Chukotka, and then on the other side through Alaska to Canada is a real challenge. And most importantly, what are they planning to transport? It seems like some kind of PR-driven, money-spinning project that will eat up a ton of money, but in reality, it'll be a dud. And besides this project, is there nowhere else to invest the money? This RFPI company is strange, and Dmitriev is strange.

Hurray and Abrams missiles through the tunnel to the Far East...

Nah.
Direct citizenship for those close to the body, and to carry dollars in bags.

[Vic Vic]

Dmitriev has some kind of rosy, fantastic plans, or he knows something that we have no idea about.
I hope these New Vasyuki don't backfire on us. In my opinion, this tunnel is the last thing we need, both now and tomorrow.

[Tailpipe]

It's better to build an elevator to the moon. Cheaper and more feasible. We've come to the point where the Manilovs and Nozdryovs have gotten into politics...

[Down]

It's farsighted, we might win, or we might not, who will be the winner in this case - the States, and they already have their own person ready, who has done a lot, so this is not betrayal, this is foresight.

[axren1]

Let them not forget to call the redhead...

[Hiller]

Incredibly timely Russia is also being scammed out of money, while newly minted Russian dollar billionaires, both current and future, are rubbing their gilded palms with glee. "Hey you up there" have you completely lost your sense of smell???
Stop being idiotic and robbing a country at war!!!

Dmitriev He offers to let him see Russia's gold reserves - but he received permission to take out as much gold as he can carry.

[vitaliy20091959]

What, have we already completed ours? And there are no more problems? What kind of nonsense is this?

[SEVERIN]

First, a bridge to Sakhalin should be built - that's necessary, but whether a tunnel to Alaska is needed still needs to be considered.

[Alexey Ashaev]

The raw materials oligarchy won't escape the trough on its own. And it won't allow Russia to develop.

[the same doctor]

Why the hell do you need a tunnel? Sea transport is twice as short and 10 times cheaper.
.
The goal of this project is the same as the Rusnano tablet: to steal public funds.
.
Dmitriev, as head of the Foundation for Strategic Initiatives, hasn't invested a single penny in defense. He's as guilty of the deaths of our children in the Northeast Military District as the Banderites. Having funds for a tunnel but not providing ammunition to the front is pure treason.

[Fangaro]

Here's some good news, but it's not complete.
There is probably something there, in the signed intentions and about branches?
A railway connection to Crimea, a fish pipeline in the Urals, pedestrian tourist flows, and the exchange of raw materials for intellectual property.

[Fangaro]

A bridge to Sakhalin? So what can this Russian region offer the Moscow Government Department in return? No easily extractable oil, no diamonds, no crab per person per week in the capital, no fur, no dollars in export revenue.

[zloybond]

The population collects whatever they can for the front, but here it’s just such a small expense.
By the way: - All the cost estimates that the Americans made for the repair of docks for ship repairs turned out to be a pain for the American budget in practice - the actual costs increased at least twofold.
We really have nowhere to put our money - or is this joyful message just another scam for Russia at a time when the country's budget is under military strain?

[Andrey Nikolaev_4]

What the hell do they need it for? Morons need megaprojects to make history, and the country's pressing problems are beside the point.

[victor_47]

An economically unsound project, given the need to create a complete infrastructure.

[rs777]

They don't care. The main thing is to embezzle the money. The moths are protecting them.

[Zheka111]

Here he is - Chubais' replacement has arrived.
This Dmitriev will be bringing tribute from Russia to the reptilians in America through false and deceptive projects.

They should be put on pitchforks for this - betrayal of the country during the war.

[solar]

Construction using advanced technologies will take up to 8 years and cost $8 billion.

And who will pay?

[rs777]

Eight? But it will end up being 28... Well, or more.

News
Dmitriev: A tunnel under the Bering Strait will be built

Where do they get people like that for the Kremlin? Where do they come from?

[rs777]

From Ukraine. A capable Jew with a secret mother. He joined the locals to rule here forever (and his offspring). Another example: Senator Derkach, from Dnipropetrovsk, from the Verkhovna Rada and zealot's accomplice, straight to senator of the Russian Federation and Hero of Russia.

[avia12005]

There will be a toll for travel through the tunnel, and the construction will be managed by a joint American-Russian and God knows who else consortium, in which Mr. Dmitriev will have an honorable place in terms of money.

This is an assumption.

[rs777]

Ukrainian Jew Dmitriev made a deal, and St. Petersburg Jew Rotenberg will be using the budget funds. As usual, you'll be paying for everything.

[Yamadashi]

"An underground passage leads to the country of Epsteinia -

In February 2022, both Kirill Dmitriev and the RDIF were included in sanctions by the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

The US government temporarily suspended sanctions against Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF). This allowed the State Department to issue him a visa to enter the country and hold talks with US Special Representative Steven Witkoff.

So this sanctioned guy is crawling into Donald's ass without any reason to please the Americans.

[reaper]

I have no idea what's going on! The United States is our enemy, they admit it themselves, but our officials are stubbornly trying to build bridges there despite the lack of funds in the treasury. The entire population of the country doesn't understand this plan, but the government is infinitely distant from the people, with its own ambitions and directions.

[Roman Efremov]

Everyone at Hitler's headquarters is a coward...

There's a budget deficit of over 5 trillion rubles from January to April 26 (there was a recent article in the "Opinions" section about billionaires). "New Vasyuki"...

[next322]

A feast during the plague! Some very shady guy, a friend of American Jews, no one knows where he came from or who he is, but he looks a lot like Chubais, not red-haired but bald, is pushing some new crap to the Kremlin elders...

[alexputnik17]

The signing of the tunnel agreement is scheduled for tomorrow.

Their Senate is considering a new package of sanctions against the Russian Federation, and we are talking about peace, friendship and chewing gum... and trade routes... What a surreal thing.

[Soldatov V.]

Along with the Crimean Bridge, a tunnel to Crimea was considered. That would be very useful to us now.
And it would be desirable to build a tunnel to Sakhalin. It would be less exposed to storms. A bridge is also necessary, in principle. A tunnel to Alaska isn't needed. An icebreaker ferry would be sufficient there. But building a railway to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky would be a good idea. What's wrong with this America? It was born a snake in the grass, and it will die a snake. There are already fewer white people there than black people, just waiting for a banana to fall into their mouths. Do we need this?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The railway to Magadan or Nikolaevsk-on-Amur here looks like half the Baikal-Amur Mainline, and you're heading to Kamchatka. You need to be more modest.

[Soldatov V.]

For us Siberians and Far Easterners, these distances are the norm. Regional and provincial capitals are, on average, 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers apart.

[Keperveem72]

It's obvious the guy himself is laughing. No, if all this power and its cronies, honestly stolen, were thrown at no more than 2 million into building roads and a tunnel, and appointing Koreans as foremen. Then we'll have a tunnel and roads leading to it. Has this little laugher ever been to Chukotka? Not by helicopter, but in a regular van and all that. This Trump-Putin-style project—who's going to be embezzling budget money on our side—the Vrotenbergs or our other friends? How much will inflation jump to 4 percent a year again? 😁

[alexputnik17]

Quote: Keperveem72

This is a Trump-Putin style project. Who will be cutting up the budget money on our side – the Vrotenbergs or other friends?

It would be better if they built something on Sakhalin already. Why do we need Alaska?

[log]

Who is this Dmitriev? He appeared in the media like a jack-in-the-box. Who came up with and is promoting the tunnel idea, and for what purpose? Drive reindeer from Chukotka to Anchorage? Something crazy is happening, and our guarantor is just watching! Or is he not watching anymore?
