Biologist Safonov named the most dangerous areas of the Moscow region due to bears.
[Regnum] Brown bear encounters are highly likely in the western and northwestern Moscow region. Tracks of the predators are regularly recorded in the Shakhovsky and Mozhaisk districts.Biologist Dmitry Safonov spoke with Regnum News Agency on Monday, September 28.
According to the biologist, there are currently about 80 brown bears living in the Moscow region. Between 30 and 40 are permanent residents, while the rest are "migrants" from neighboring regions: Tver, Smolensk, and Kaluga. The western and northwestern regions of the Moscow region are considered the most dangerous areas for predator attacks.
"About a year and a half ago, an unpleasant incident occurred in the Tver and Smolensk regions. The last officially recorded, confirmed attack on a human was in the Shakhovsky District. The Mozhaisk District is also regularly reported as a site of bear encounters; tracks and confrontations are common there," Safonov noted.
Brown bears are also occasionally encountered in the Volokolamsk district. They are also regularly spotted in the Taldom, Dmitrovsky, and Sergiev Posad districts. In the eastern districts (Shatura, Cherusti), the animals can be encountered in dense forests.
"Deep forested areas are considered dangerous. Especially in Shatura: there are dense forests near rivers, where bears feed on berry bushes and old clearings. They can approach people, so they often appear on the outskirts of villages or on roads. These are usually young animals, who are less cautious," Safonov explained.
The biologist emphasized that bears usually try to avoid humans, but in the fall, they undergo a period of active fat gain before hibernation. This makes them less cautious.
"If anyone is planning a trip to the areas I mentioned, it's best to avoid solo walks and travel in groups. Bears tend to avoid contact with groups of people. Don't venture into dense forests unless absolutely necessary," Safonov advised.
Zoologist and game warden Mikhail Krechmar previously told Regnum news agency that bears could appear in Moscow. This is due to the growing predator population and the fact that the animals have lost their fear of humans. In June, experts announced that bear culling might be permitted in the Moscow region due to the growing bear population and the increasing frequency of attacks on people.
More from regnum.ru In Tuva, hunters shot and killed a bear that attacked trainer Kuzmenko.
Hunters in Tyva have killed a bear that attacked hockey coach Alexander Kuzmenko. This was reported on September 28 by Artysh Salchak, head of the republic's State Committee for Hunting Supervision.
"The bear that attacked a man in the Todzhinsky district of Tuva was killed by hunters," Salchak said in a comment to TASS.
A Moscow coach became the first bear attack victim in Tyva this year. The animal attacked seven tourists who had come fishing on the banks of the Bolshoy Yenisei River in the republic's Todzhinsky District on the afternoon of September 22. The predator grabbed Kuzmenko by the head, but his companions managed to free him. Several hours later, the victim was taken by boat to a nearby home, and from there, an air ambulance transported him to a hospital in Kyzyl. There, Kuzmenko underwent surgery, but he died. A criminal investigation is underway.
Even more from regnum.ru 729 bears were killed in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
The number of bears shot in Krasnoyarsk Krai has increased to 729. This was reported on September 28 by the regional Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.
They noted that in certain areas of the region, the risk of bears emerging remains.
"As of September 28, 2026, 180 orders have been issued in the region to regulate the population of 1,214 brown bears. As part of these measures, 729 bears have been harvested," the statement reads.
The agency added that it had received 128 applications for rewards for the harvest of brown bears. Hunters in the region can receive 36,500 rubles for one bear.
A series of incidents involving bear attacks on people in the region have previously been reported. In the village of Voznesenka in Krasnoyarsk Krai, a bear attacked a 51-year-old woman in her garden. The woman died at the scene from her injuries. A neighbor of the deceased shot the bear.

[Regnum] Counterintelligence knows by name those who have linked their fates with Britain and want Russia's defeat. This was announced by the FSB on September 28.
"Those who have decided to tie their fates to London and who wish Russia's defeat are known to counterintelligence by name. Their every move is visible. Their fates are sealed," the FSB representative clarified.
He added that the British attempts to form puppet organizations under the guise of a democratic alternative and use them to the detriment of the country's security are doomed to failure.
Previously, the FSB opened a terrorism case against London-based former model Ksenia Maksimova (an individual included in the Russian Federation's list of terrorists and extremists), the head of the Russian Democratic Society UK (designated undesirable in the Russian Federation) and the so-called "consul" in the UK of a movement designated as a terrorist organization in the Russian Federation.
According to the FSB's Public Relations Center, Maksimova created an organization in the interests of British elites to raise funds and assist the Kyiv regime, promote government change in Russia, disseminate fake news about the Russian Armed Forces, and harass Russian officials.

[Regnum] On September 28, the UVB-76 radio station, also known as the "Doomsday Radio Station," broadcast a message containing the word "storage." This was reported by the UVB-76 Logi Telegram channel, which monitors its operations.
"NZhTI 00 717 STORM 7865 4500," the radio station announced at 7:08 a.m. Moscow time.
UVB-76 is a military radio station that has been in operation since 1976. It is also called the "Doomsday Radio Station" due to a popular conspiracy theory that UVB-76 is allegedly part of the Russian Armed Forces' emergency communications system.
Prior to this, on August 30, radio station UVB-76 broadcast two messages with the words "light" and "Coptic." On August 27, it broadcast the word "chicken" and 17 more messages. The previous messages were " blond," "soapmaker official," and "skettoring," which were broadcast on August 24.
In June 2025, Roskomnadzor clarified that the station's radio frequency range is intended for shared use by electronic devices of any purpose. Theoretically, anyone can broadcast on it.
UVB-76 broadcasts continuously on 4625 kHz. Most often, it's noise, with occasional announcements. Words that don't exist in the Russian language regularly appear on the airwaves. In December 2025, they broadcast "Swan Lake" and a song from the Soviet cartoon "The Bremen Town Musicians."

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
