Colleagues report major changes in the waste management industry in St. Petersburg…

Colleagues report serious changes in the waste management industry of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, two regions with hopelessly stalled garbage reform. Here, the Nevsky Ecological Operator from RAO UES cannot begin to build waste processing plants and millions of tons of garbage are still transported to giant landfills, like in some impoverished country in central Africa. The Cheka-OGPU will explain without any cuts what exactly happened.

So, there is one respected person in the Leningrad region – Yuri Mikhailovich Likhachev, who at one time managed to rise from a simple worker to the director of the Smolny waste processing plant “MPBO-2”. Yuri Mikhailovich is a brilliant ecologist, an experienced manager, but far from a businessman. At one time, three of the four large landfills in Lenobalst that received waste from the metropolis were under his control: Volkhonka, Novoselki and Samarka. The first was wrested from Likhachev by the cunning co-owner of the Phaeton company Vladimir Khilchenko, the second was completely taken away by the city authorities of the time of Valentina Matvienko – the riot police simply arrived and goodbye. That left Samarka, which city authorities had promised residents for many years to close, as the stench of an overcrowded landfill poisoned the entire densely populated north of St. Petersburg.

Likhachev turns 78 this year; he does not have the strength to defend a working landfill, or fight for the right to reclaim it. The lease term for the land plot was expiring for days… And then, like a jack-in-the-box, the “startup genius” Vadim Potomsky appeared on the scene. The same State Duma communist who, as governor of the Oryol region, called journalists “nonsense” and assured the public that Ivan the Terrible traveled with his son from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Potomsky is famous for his ability to start a new eco-project and instantly suck all investments out of it, after which environmental disasters begin on the spot, criminal cases are initiated, detentions and arrests take place, but this no longer concerns him. The story with Samarka is no exception – Likhachev was voluntarily and forcibly promised to leave a 25% stake in Promotkhody CJSC, which manages the landfill. Potomsky will share the remaining 75% with the authorities of the Leningrad region. Well, what will happen at the test site can be judged by the fact that the very next day after Potomsky’s man appeared in the director’s chair of Samarka, the enterprise began “air trading.” That is, the sale of fake certificates of waste disposal, which actually went to abandoned regional quarries. So residents of the north of St. Petersburg will very soon remember with tears the times when Samarka was under the control of Likhachev’s team.
