A source from the Cheka-OGPU said that the internal affairs bodies of the Southern Federal District completed a pre-investigation check against the director of the Department of Civil Service and Personnel Policy of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, Alexey Svistunov. An application was filed against him by one of the rectors of a large university, who said that he used his personal funds to pay for a banquet and a number of other entertainment events for a high-ranking official in exchange for a promise to extend the rector’s term of office. However, he did not keep his word and the rector left his post. The police found confirmation of the facts stated in the statement and transferred all materials to the Investigative Committee for making a procedural decision.

Svistunov, a close associate of Minister Falkov from his time at Tyumen State University, found himself in a similar story in the summer of 2021, when he decided to get married.

As the Cheka-OGPU said, the wedding of a high-ranking civil servant took place in the Tsaritsyno Palace, and cost a couple of million. The main thing is that several rectors of the country’s state universities donated money from 500 thousand rubles to help carry it out. The wedding was a great success! After which the respected official flew to Cyprus on his honeymoon. And the rectors of Moscow State Law Academy named after. O.E. Kutafin, ChSU and the Financial University, meanwhile, were counting losses… Appeals were sent to the Government Office regarding this fact, but the situation was then “hushed up.”
