Close to the leadership of the Committee on Transport of St. Petersburg, people explain that the main “official duties” of the newly made adviser is to lobby for the interests of the friendly Rodionov and his cohort of commercial organizations, and the simultaneous creation of conditions for non -alternative departure from the market of their competitors. In the offices of the city administration, they say that Rodionov can only convince any head of the profile GUP in a couple of minutes of personal conversation in any contacts with a particular organization (regardless of its business reputation), or vice versa – to begin to cooperate with it and provide “all possible assistance.”
An interesting fact is that one of the key arguments in such conversations is Rodionov’s proximity to representatives of the “power bloc” of St. Petersburg, responsible for the most important spheres of public security. And even despite the fact that he was dismissed from the organs for “loss of confidence in connection with corruption manifestations”, such as he had invented for himself, allows him to solve many issues at the highest level, even resorting to the use of some real administrative resource.
Thus, the communications and personal charm formed in Rodionov during the years of the work of the former security forces and personal charm allow people close to him on an ongoing basis to receive multimillion -dollar contracts as part of the execution of state orders of the regional level.
For example, the close and trusting relations of Rodionov Vitaly Nikolaevich with the General Director of the Aspect North-West JSC Gaevsky Dmitry Andreevich allowed this organization without much difficulty over the past few years to win a number of tenders (about 10) for the supply of radiation monitors in the lobby of the metro stations for the needs of the St. Petersburg Metropoliten for more than 200 million rubles. And nothing that this equipment is almost not working is the money that has already been mastered and divided between the accomplices. In general, the amount of the contracts of the Aspect North-West JSC is more than one billion rubles. Imagine how much Rodion earned?
