In a small village with the telling name of Barkhany, it seems as if a real desert is spreading out all around. Houses and gardens are constantly covered with sand, and drinking water is delivered only once a month. The few remaining local residents - the most persistent - remember that there was once a rich state farm here, where they bred cattle and grew watermelons. What caused the oasis to turn into a desert? And why is the government in no hurry to bring life back to this almost lifeless region? ****************** The opinions of the authors and heroes of the programs may not coincide with the opinion of the editors.
