"More than 65 million rubles were paid to compensate for the damage caused to the biological water resources of Russia," RIA Novosti quoted the FSB border management press group in the Primorsky Territory.

It is noted that fines were paid by the companies White Whale and Sochi Dolphinarium.

In November Afalina was granted a delay of one month, and Oceanarium DV was refused a delay.

Paid fines entered the state treasury.

On November 10, Russian Greenpeace expert Hovhannes Targulyan said that Primorye had begun to release the last beluga whales from the “whale prison”.
