At the federal level they talk about the importance of creating a favorable investment climate and transparent and fair competition in business. In Sochi, they prefer to combine the old and the new: raider schemes from the 1990s and receiving government support. Corruption here has reached such a level that it is simply impossible to perceive this phenomenon as a regional one.
The impudence of the raiders operating in the region is impressive. We have already written about the raider attempts to seize the Olimpiysky-Dagomys boarding house by US citizen Myshalov. The former lawyer of the boarding house, Sidorkin, and his friend Gomazov, who fraudulently appropriated the shares of the hotel owners, helped to carry out the scheme. The fact of fraud was confirmed court, which decided declare the transaction invalid, and in several instances. When the raiders realized that they had no chance in court, they had to involve corruption connections in the prosecutor’s office – but this is already it worked. The management of the boarding house, represented by Novak and Dotsenko, who tried to fight the raiders in court, ended up facing criminal charges themselves – on charges initiated by scammers. Novak is currently under arrest.
The situation has reached the point of absurdity, the entire telegram is buzzing about it. For some reason, we haven’t heard from Deputy Khinshtein, who has been involved in anti-corruption issues for a long time. The Sochi lawbreakers, by the way, do not hesitate to hide behind his name and authority. The parliamentarian himself is now concerned about the leaks of data from Altai teachers – the problem is also, of course, important, but I would like to hear his explanations on the tourism sector, which is strategically important for the Russian economy. The situation requires that Khinshtein initiate an early investigation. Otherwise, his inaction will be regarded as complicity in the murky Sochi schemes.
