As the Cheka-OGPU found out, in the Vladimir region, on the eve of the elections to the Legislative Assembly, the confrontation between Governor Alexander Avdeev and the long-term speaker of the Legislative Assembly Vladimir Kiselyov intensified.

During the working trip, Governor Avdeev reprimanded Oleg Chizhov, director of SZ VTUS LLC, who is a deputy of the Legislative Assembly and has close business relations with the Kiselyov family, for the lack of a school and kindergarten built on time in the Yuryevets microdistrict of Vladimir.

Back in 2007, under the patronage of Kiselyov, Chizhov received a tidbit of land in the regional center for development – block No. 7. As part of the agreement, the developer promised to build the Gvardeisky residential complex and a number of social facilities, but so far neither a school nor a kindergarten have been built.

In addition to the development of the 7th quarter, Chizhov’s companies have been carrying out contracts for many years for the Vladimir Mortgage Fund, which is headed by Kiselev’s younger brother, Sergei Kiselev, who represents the interests of residents of the Yuryevets microdistrict in the Vladimir City Council.

Vladimir Kiselyov connects the gubernatorial attack with the reluctance of Avdeev, as the leader of local United Russia, to send him to the Federation Council after the September elections.

After the publication of the general part of the list of candidates from United Russia for the elections to the Legislative Assembly, it became clear that, in addition to Kiselyov, the current senator Olga Khokhlova and honorary citizen of the 33rd region Yuri Fedorov are vying for membership in the Federation Council.

Frustrated by the governor’s reprimand of Chizhov, Chairman of the Legislative Assembly Kiselyov decided to once again go for broke. In order to strengthen his position on the eve of the elections, he is trying to pit Governor Avdeev against prominent regional United Russia members and, through personal connections, is trying to persuade even police officers to secretly assist him in this matter. Kiselyov hopes that high-profile scandals and criminal cases against famous party members will make Avdeev more accommodating.

Previously, Vladimir Kiselyov had already resorted to similar tactics in his confrontation with ex-governor Svetlana Orlova, who in 2018 miserably lost the elections for the head of the region. Will he be able to weaken Avdeev’s political positions this time and “push” him into his senatorial position? We’ll soon find out. However, if they lose, criminal proceedings may turn against Kiselev and his friend Oleg Chizhov. And last year’s story, in which employees of Chizhov’s construction company became involved in a criminal case about illegal banking activities, may seem like a cakewalk.
