The official added that there are large companies in Russia that are dealing with the issue of reforestation. However, in Eastern Siberia and the Far East, the situation with the struggle for reforestation is not easy. “Because there are practically no large companies, there are some” snickers “, as we once had in air transport, we sorted it out, now we need to deal with these” snickers “,” Ivanov said. Ushakov's dictionary classifies the word “zhivopyrka” as thieves' jargon. According to the definition, this is “a place where there is a constant crowd of people, noise, scandals.” Small companies that are used for opaque or illegal activities have also come to be called “Zhivopyrki.” He recalled that Russia has pledged to increase its forest balance by 2030.
