It's Green, so quit bitching.
Russia is suffering at the moment from peat bog fires, which are much harder to fight than forest fires.
Our dear Gaia-worshipping Greenies are blaming past environmental crimes for the peat fires. Back in Stalin's day, peat was tried as a large-scale source of "biofuel" for electric generators, and the bogs were never re-flooded after they were dug up.
(Semi-relevantly, reminds me of this.)
Well, those Russians shouldn't be complaining. Burning peat is a carbon-neutral form of fire, and in fact burning peat bogs has been proposed as a deliberate method of carbon sequestration.
So what's the problem? All those Russians who are choking and dying from the smoke are Holy Sacrifices to The Planet Goddess Gaia, and they should die gratefully. ¶ 7:09 PM
