Baikalsk Paper and Pulp Mill: Ecological Series
«For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo…». These Shakespearian lines are just asking to be used in lieu of the epigraph. The national vast expanses have not yet seen any other «longer-playing» and sadder story than the situation with the Baikal Paper and Pulp Mill (BPPM). It has been holding as «hostages» several generations of BPPM workers and inhabitants of the city of Baikalsk; many of them are not among the living already, and others have grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
And this all has continued for more than 50 (!) years now. «Things haven’t budged an inch». The BPPM, as before, is in operation, discharging waste waters into Baikal and polluting the atmosphere along Baikal’s shores.

Is There Need of Tax Accounting?
The author presents his cogent arguments against a special tax accounting of a tax base for profit but obligatory for commercial enterprises under the RF Tax Code, Art. 25 as he finds this redundant. The same information is kept on the enterprise’s accounting records files with the only distinction between definitions of revenues and expenditures as well as the sizes of a few types. Such distinctions are few in number, and a list of them is well known. Thus, any tax base for profit could be shown through calculating impact of these distinctions on profit received before taxation and submitting the calculation in the form of a reference.
