As a source from the Cheka-OGPU said, Transmashholding is intensively looking for an approach to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. For these purposes, his partner, billionaire Andrei Bokarev, arrived in Yekaterinburg on the personal instructions of Iskander Makhmudov. On July 9, at the international industrial exhibition “Innoprom”, Bokarev must make proposals to the prime minister, which the latter will not be able to refuse, and Transmashholding will begin implementing its projects with renewed vigor, and the beneficiaries will calmly engage in their enrichment. One of the goals, together with Governor Kuyvashev, is to convince the head of the Cabinet of Ministers about the need to finance a concession for a tram line in the Academic District of Yekaterinburg.
According to the interlocutor, Iskander Makhmudov and Andrey Bokarev were very frightened by a number of events. First. The departure of the governor of the Tver region and the appointment of a new person to a place that is not under his control, which will lead to the loss of a sphere of influence in a strategically important subject where large assets are concentrated. Second. Due to the events with damage to the Ivolga rolling stock, Russian Railways is considering suspending the operation and purchase of Ivolga series trains, which will lead to a big crisis at the Tver Carriage Works.
