In Omsk, Chistomen, a solo ecologist from Chelyabinsk who cleans up different cities in Russia, recently made a visit. He picked up trash along the waterfront and managed to collect seven bags of garbage. "I didn't need any help with disposal. I carried all the bags to the containers. And this raises the question of why not all citizens bring their garbage to the bin/container?" Chistomen wrote on his VKontakte page.
Before Omsk, Chistomen had been to Novosibirsk, Kemerovo, and Tomsk. The largest amount of trash, 22 bags, was collected by this eco-activist on the shores of the Ob Sea in Novosibirsk.
Arthur Matis-Sirazeev, or as he calls himself, Chistomen, has been collecting trash in various cities since 2015, "promoting the behavior of a normal person." Since the beginning of his activities, he has visited more than 40 cities. According to him, the situation with garbage is roughly the same everywhere. People litter everywhere, even with the presence of garbage containers.
