Save Pechora Committee, an NGO in Komi Republic (Northern Russia), with the help of Greenpeace Russia volunteer project #StopOilSpills organized a race from one settlement to another, to meet with local people and encourage hope for a better future without oil spills as part of the global movement to Break Free from fossil fuels. Oil spills kill fish and contaminate rivers. Land is being turned into a harsh desert. 8000 people in Komi are trapped in industrial zone of Lukoil. When you live in a big city, it never occurs to you that somewhere else, people are suffering from problems such as these. Skiers went 25 km and met local people in 5 villages. Their main demand is to prohibit operating oil pipelines older than 20 years. The main cause of oil spills (about 90% of ruptures) is accidents at in-field oil pipelines due to corrosion. They also want Lukoil to stop barbarous industrial exploration of Komi lands
