- Аннотация: Catastrophic forest fires hit the European part of Russian Federation2 during summer 2010 as result of a two-month-long period with temperatures above3 the average by 10 °C coupled with an unusually long drought period. Even though4 forest fires are usual for Russia, these are typically located in the sparsely popu5lated Asian part of the country. As a consequence of the 2010 summer fires in the6 densely populated European part of Russia, the mass media poured forth reports of7 burning forests, villages, victims, about lost crops by fires. The situation was further8 dramatized by the fact that the extreme smoke from these fires reachedMoscow (see9 similar case in Chap. 10). Seventeen million people lived in the regions where the10 state of emergency has been declared, and another 10 million in Moscow suffered11 fromsmoke.Over one-third of the population of theRussian Federation lived in those12 regions where the fires were very intense in summer 2010. Still, the main question13 remained after the disaster which I attempt to answer in this chapter; was the heat14 the only cause?
