Khimki Forest

Forest near Moscow, Russia

Khimki Forest is a forest near the Russian city of Moscow covering about 1000 hectares. It is part of the so-called "Green Belt" around Moscow. An $8 billion high speed road, the Moscow–Saint Petersburg motorway (M11), was proposed in the aughts to go through the forest to connect Moscow and Saint Petersburg. The proposed road called for the removal of a swath of the forest. The construction triggered large protests, which turned violent in July 2010. On 26 August 2010, President Dmitry Medvedev ordered the construction to be halted. Despite the protests, construction was slated to continue later that year.
