[Regnum] A senior district police officer saved two residents of the Kemerovo Region from a bear attack. This was reported on September 23 by Ministry of Internal Affairs spokesperson Irina Volk.
The first incident occurred in the village of Kuzedeyevo. The duty station received a report of a bear entering a local resident's apiary, damaging the fence, and destroying the hive. A senior officer from the Novokuznetsky District Police Department arrived on the scene and discovered that the homeowner had managed to take refuge in an outbuilding, and the bear was preparing to attack. Assessing the threat, the officer used her weapon in accordance with the Law on Police and subdued the animal.
A few days later, the same officer neutralized another bear in the village of Kandalep. The predator had repeatedly entered a pensioner's property and then attempted to enter a poultry enclosure. The policewoman confirmed that the animal was unresponsive to attempts to scare it off and continued to approach. The senior police lieutenant fired two aimed shots and eliminated the threat.
Zoologist and game warden Mikhail Krechmar previously told Regnum News Agency that the increasing frequency of bear attacks on people is linked to the increasing predator population due to underhunting and food shortages in Siberian forests. He noted that dwindling pine nut reserves are causing bears to approach populated areas more frequently in search of food, increasing the risk of encounters with humans.

Zoologist Kretschmar admitted that bears could appear in Moscow.
Due to the increasing bear population and the fact that the predators have lost their fear of humans, they may appear in Moscow.Zoologist and gamekeeper Mikhail Krechmar spoke with Regnum News Agency on Wednesday, September 23 .
"The closest bear tracks I personally saw were near Patriot Park, which is 40 km from the Kremlin. Therefore, there is a chance of bears appearing in Moscow," Kretschmar said.
The gamekeeper added that the exact number of bears in the Moscow region is unknown. Estimates range from a dozen to 120 individuals.
Experts previously stated that bear culling may be permitted in the Moscow region due to a growing bear population and an increase in attacks on humans. In 2026, the number of brown bears in Russia increased from 200,000 to 300,000. Because of this, the animals are experiencing a shortage of habitat in forests.
In May, biological sciences candidate Pavel Glazkov proposed excludingBears in the Moscow region are listed in the Red Book . According to him, in regions where hunting occurs, bears begin to fear humans, which is very important.
Biologist and zoologist Alexander Lipkovich warned in an interview with Regnum News Agency that the current generation of bears is more aggressive than previous ones . Due to population growth, the bear, a naturally solitary species, encounters its fellow bears more frequently. This keeps the predator constantly on edge—angry and nervous.
