After the arrival of the new Minister of Emergency Situations Kurenkov, the struggle for positions and financial flows in the Ministry of Emergency Situations unfolded with renewed vigor. After the dismissal of two deputies from Zinichev’s team – Chupriyan and Grechushkin – the next deputy minister and part-time chief state inspector of the Russian Federation for fire supervision, Suprunovsky, is next in line. His subordinate, the director of the department of supervisory activities, Enikeev, has already been fired, now it’s his manager’s turn. Also, the deputy ministerial chair under the State Secretary of the Ministry of Emergency Situations Serko is shaky, to whom one legal department was left subordinate, the director of which, Yakovlev, is also on the “hit list.” At the same time, Gurovich’s personal treasurer was noticed among the favorites of the new minister (who still remains among Lefortovo’s inmates, although he actively cooperates not with the security forces, but with the team of the new minister in transmitting to them information about the main financial sources and “places of power of the Ministry of Emergency Situations”). Golikova, director of the financial department, is actively introducing Kurenkov’s people, who do not yet have relevant experience in such serious matters, into the affairs of Gurovich’s schemes. But of course, Martynov feels the coolest of all, who any day now should be awarded the rank of general, given the Hero of Russia for the rescue operation he successfully carried out and promoted himself in Turkey (although, according to eyewitnesses, it was precisely in Turkey that he did not feel himself at all showed itself in the rescue operation itself, was more busy with self-PR). It is Martynov who remains the main favorite for the post of first deputy minister of the Ministry of Emergency Situations; all candidates for the position have been eliminated, including Anikin, head of the main department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in St. Petersburg. Whether all these personnel innovations will lead to the collapse of the ministry, which group will ultimately win and, in general, which power group in principle supports the collapsing department – the near future will show.
