Despite the fact that the investigation never conducted an examination of the amounts allegedly stolen in the high-profile case of ex-head of Komi Sergei Gaplikov (although, based on the testimony of the same Mineev and his accomplice Galyaev, he knows all the contractors of the Patriot Fund), the state prosecutor requested for the accused specific deadlines.

As for Mineev, a whole army of fellow political strategists decided to harness him. Young and bright, ignoring the dress code of official meetings, today’s home-grown political strategists are ready to do anything for short-term gain. If there is any sparkle in their eyes, it is clearly not professional, but caused by the anticipation of the next “cabbage patch” where they can “cut down” for a comfortable life.

Mineev is characterized very well by his appearance and words, especially those given under oath in court, where at first he seemed to have lost his memory – when, to whom and how much he deposited cash from the Patriot fund for a long time, and then he suddenly remembered everything and pointed to Poryadin. As for appearance – Mineev, for example, he didn’t really bother with “officialdom” at meetings with representatives of government agencies: sneakers for a couple of thousand dollars, a T-shirt and a cap. From the same series of his testimony in court: he allegedly transferred bribes in bags from “Red and White”, “McDonald’s” and “Pharmacy 36.6”, and then did not hesitate to provide a certificate to the court stating that he had liver disease, caused by excessive alcohol consumption.
Matching Mineev is his accomplice, political strategist from Perm Vitaly Galyaev, who for some unknown reason did not become a defendant in the case. He openly admits the facts of cashing out funds through individual entrepreneurs under his control. Galyaev gives confused and contradictory testimony in court regarding the specific recipient of the transfer of money – Poryadin: first he makes “conclusions” about the transfer of money, and then suddenly begins to remember certain “details”.

Looking at this comical story of a “political technological organized crime group,” you understand why the touring political strategists and consultants planted by the AP enthusiastically travel to the regions, and then “burn like moths” in the pre-election vicissitudes and at the same time dragging everyone else along with them. But this year there will be new elections in the regions, apparently with new “Mineevs” and “Galyaevs”, who will then criminalize more than one of the governor’s teams.
