The place, as they say, is cursed: already a dozen officials from the region’s construction complex are in one way or another under investigation or in prison. Let’s just remind you: in March, the former general director of the Directorate for Integrated Development of Territories of the Lenino Region, Fedichev, was arrested for fraud in shared construction. Under him, in 2021, the Leningrad region took second place in Russia in the number of houses built in violation of the law. The deputy chairman of the construction committee, Shalygin, was taken as a bribe in early February. Oleg Zinchenko, first deputy head of the control committee of the governor of the Leningrad region, was arrested on charges of receiving a bribe on an especially large scale. Under him, businessmen acquired ownership rights to land plots in the Leningrad region, bypassing the bidding procedure and at a reduced cost.
Similarly, high officials of Lenavtodor, the head of the Road Repair and Construction Department of one of the districts, were previously arrested, who immediately surrendered the head of another district DRSU. Volchuga, who was already under investigation, but refused to resign, was appointed head of the Natural Resources Committee. In general, something is rotten in the Danish kingdom. Moreover, at the very foundation. But the governor, by the way a candidate of economic sciences with a dissertation “Research on the management system of the investment and construction complex,” cannot be so blind?
