 It is necessary to save “the window to China” cut out by Peter I on the Irtysh River: Gorny Altai press about construction of the

Indigenous IssuesReview of newspapers of the Altai Republic for 27-31 March
We should follow the example of Peter I and construct the gas pipeline to China along the Irtysh through Kazakhstan. The former head of the republic recollects telling Vladimir Putin about the necessity of construction of the gas pipeline and the road to China through the Altai Republic.

29 March the Listok newspaper writes that it made a poll of its readers on the subject of their attitude to the possible construction of the gas pipeline on the territory of the Altai Republic to China. As REGNUM IA informs, 21 March during his visit to China, the President of Russia Vladimir Putin declared about the intention of the Authorities of Russia to construct two gas pipelines to China from Siberia in the near future. Listok supposes, simultaneously with the construction of the gas pipeline the direct road to China will be built. 117 people took part in the poll, 77 of them – 65.8% - were against the construction of the gas pipeline. “We should note that 16 people (of those against) remarked the construction of the gas pipeline alone without the road would suit them. First of all, those people fear of expansion of the Chinese. Here are their typical statements, “In China there is a very high density of population, they will try to fill the whole republic and close territories,” “Our region is ecologically clean, and in whole the indigenous people of our republic are against the project”. 36 people asked (30.8%) expressed positive attitude to the project. “There is no better project for the development of the republic than the construction of the gas pipeline and the direct road to China, that’s why we should support and promote Putin’s decision,” says one of the supporters of the project. 4 of those asked could not answer the question, as they were not informed quite well on the subject. The Postscriptum paper on 30 March published the article of the editor Nokolay Vitovtsev devoted to the problems of Russian-Chinese and Russian-Kazakhstan relationships in the light of proposed construction of the gas pipeline from the Western Siberia to China. The author reminds that, while discussing the subject of transport corridors to China, we shouldn’t forget the way along the Irtysh, that way which once was made by Peter I. It was in Peter’s times when the first trade caravans went from Russia to China and back. For whom is the road to China through Ust-Kamenogorsk and Chuguchak unfavorable in our days? The answer is obvious: for the Americans and their allies. They dream to take Altai out of the zone of influence of Russia. But people in Astana understand that our presence is necessary in that region – first of all as a deterrent in front of the growing expansion from China. If Kazakhstan side declares about political drift to Russia, these words should be supported with real deeds. What does the economical integration in conditions of Ore Altai mean after recent statements of the President Putin in Pekin about the construction of the gas pipeline with the conventional name “Altai”?
We can understand that “the conventional name” for the gas pipeline, which would have to go through Altai, hides the geopolitical sense. The country is ruled by people from the “Northern Capital” built by Peter I simultaneously with the fortresses on the Irtysh and in the mouth of the Katun. The present St. Petersburg’s people are supposed to have enough political will to conclude what was begun by Peter I and save “the window to China” cut on the Irtysh. The route of the pipeline can go through Barnaul – Ust-Kamenogorsk – Chuguchak – Urumchi. Who said it must be raised to the height of the Kanas Pass? The ideal route for gas transportation is along the Irtysh. If the Russian authorities are able to remember yet what was adjured us by Tsar Peter”.
