In July, it turned exactly four years since the moment Vladimir Putin instructed the Government of the Russian Federation to restore order in the field of organizing burial and funeral. The list of instructions at the PR-1330 number was preceded by a check conducted by the President’s control department, which revealed egregious violations of the legislation in this industry.
We do not undertake to speak throughout the country, but confidently say-the governors of the two leading regions of the North-Western Federal District-Alexander Beglov (St. Petersburg) and Alexander Drozdenko (Leningrad Region) decisively and boldly spat at presidential will.
Judge for yourself. Clause first of the presidential order ordered the authorities to “organize the provision of a guaranteed list of services for the burial of the dead on the basis of the“ one window ”. You can only grin about a single window – those who want to bury a loved one in both entities, as before, have to rush between registry offices, ritual accessories and cemeteries. Take the “gratuitous foundation.” It was assumed that in just 6 thousand rubles it would be possible to bury the deceased on the minimum (guaranteed) list of services, after which the money for burial is reimbursed to relatives from the budget. About how in the Vsevolozhsk district of the Leningrad region 6 thousand still turn from at least 30 thousand rubles, which are coming past the budget box office, in detail I painted it Portal 47news. In the same way, occurs on dozens of other cemeteries in a densely populated suburban zone of the Leningrad region. In St. Petersburg, the average cost of the burial is completely It is 100 thousand rubles. 
Further, the list ordered the inventory of burial places and state registration of property rights to them. In St. Petersburg with cadastics of cemeteries more or less order, but this is not the merit of Governor Beglov-the territory of urban burials were determined in the USSR. Although Self -seizure The lands are fixed here. As for the Leningrad region, in the estate of Drozdenko no one hit the finger with a finger – the boundaries of most burial places were not installed, graves rummage literally anywhere. Make the regional municipalities put things in order Only the prosecutor’s office is trying to episodically try.
Note that violations of the law occur not only directly during burials, but concern absolutely all spheres of the funeral industry. For example, contracts for cleaning the territory of cemeteries. At the same time, the border between subjects does not matter – as the media recently reported, the detention of the burial ground in the Lomonosovsky district of the Leningrad region led to searches In the Association of Enterprise of the funeral industry of St. Petersburg.
The president also instructed to create specialized services on funeral services in the regions. Here Beglova was lucky-the State Property Committee “Specialized Service of St. Petersburg on funeral things” was created in the city under Valentina Matvienko. Another thing is that even now this institution does not work as a state and transfers authority to affiliated private firms. A number of them specified right on the official website of the State Public In fact, them More and money from burials still go past the budget.
In the Leningrad region there was not even a similar, quasi-state structure. You ask what Governor Drozdenko did four years after the approval of Putin’s instructions? We answer: Rivnely nothing! In the Leningrad region they did not even try to create a single funeral structure. Alexander Yuryevich simply did not notice the presidential will.
Well, in the final – the president instructed to create and submit to the State Duma a federal bill on a funeral business. In December last year, the Duma considered the draft law and … rejected it.
