  Norilsk is over 3500 km from Kamchatka.

    Probably why the commenter said there was another oil spill in Russia.
    • pvg 6y ago
      Probably but 'both are in Russia' is fairly poor relatedness. Norilsk is a mining center and one of the most polluted places on the planet. It's literally made of spills - rare earth metals are extracted straight out of the decades-long polluted soil. Kamchatka is more like a less-developed, even more BFE, Russian Alaska.

        If it's an outdated pesticides, as suggested in another comment, then it's very related. Because it's a leakage from an old Soviet storage tanks.

          Heh, yes, 'everything is related to everything somehow' is among the trickiest problems of online forums.
