Social media users deemed the expenses for replenishing Anapa's beaches with sand to be useless.

The replenishment of Anapa's beaches after the oil spill required significant expenses, but the first storms washed away the sand, and the remaining sand on the shore has compacted, commentators write on Telegram.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the replenishment of an additional layer of sand on Anapa's beaches has been fully completed, with 12 kilometers of the coast covered. 97 beaches have already received the necessary permits to operate, while another seven beaches are undergoing inspection, the authorities reported. The Anapa beaches, after being replenished with new sand, have turned into a mixture of stones and clay, and the reports from officials do not correspond with reality, users on Telegram pointed out while commenting on the announcement of the completion of the replenishment of the beaches with new sand.

Blogger Andrey Makovozov published the condition of the Elada beach in Anapa.

“Here, the sand level in some places is low, while in others it is almost human height. Pay attention to the sand cut — to its composition,” the blogger wrote, publishing a photo. The photo shows veins in the sand, stones, and clay. This post gathered five comments.

"Tens of millions of public funds were washed into the sea by a small storm. Nothing serious. They will add more in the off-season," writes Id Id_150515.

"We need to address the president's office regarding the destruction of Anapa's beaches. Information needs to be disseminated across all different instances, urging central TV channels to report on what officials are doing to Anapa's beaches!! Only when the information is everywhere will the Kremlin reluctantly be forced to respond to the embezzlement and destruction of nature by officials in the Krasnodar region!" exclaimed V.

"The shore resembles a quarry on a smaller scale, with steep ravines and boulders. But the sea is beautiful. In winter, of course, everything will be washed away," writes a user who uses an emoji as a nickname.

The storm washed away the new miracle sand, the clay will be removed, and by winter, nothing will remain of the new sand, blogger Max Anapsky stated in his Telegram channel. His message was commented on by six people.

"Let nature wash away this new sand as soon as possible," expressed the opinion of Tourist.

"On the beaches, huge chunks that have washed out of the sand are lying everywhere, and no one is cleaning them up. It’s just unpleasant to look at. Isn’t it shameful for those who came to rest in Anapa?" asked Karina M.

During a small storm in Anapa, the waves washed away part of the deposited sand, the Telegram channel “Krasnodar Teletype” also reports, publishing photos and videos of the coastline.

"The sand (money) cycle in nature," commented Vyacheslav.
