A new conflict is emerging in the snowdrifts of Samara, capable of seriously ricocheting through the leadership of both the million-plus city and the region. The story of the municipal contractor Kedr-1 LLC, which spent more than 2 billion rubles on road cleaning and was disgraced last winter, seems to be in for a remake. In addition to the interested officials who retained their positions, a small company from Khimki suddenly appeared in the scandalous plot, suddenly receiving a contract in Samara for 224 million rubles. She was unable to “swallow” such a piece. Problems with “digesting” the budget threaten to shake the positions of officials who have been sitting in Samara on the “communal issue” for decades and create serious image problems for the Samara region.
A year ago, State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein, commenting on snow removal in the Kirovsky district of Samara by the Kedr-1 company, said: “At least 30 million rubles were stolen from the city treasury.” At that time, Kedr-1 had already spent more than 2 billion budget rubles. The majority of it – 1.3 billion rubles – comes from the Department of Municipal Economy and Ecology (DGHE) of the Samara Administration. After numerous claims from law enforcement and supervisory authorities, popular protests, media publications and petitions, local authorities did not enter into a new contract with this office. Instead, Varangian cleaners from Khimki near Moscow were dragged into the Kirovsky district of Samara. At the end of last year contract no. 3631570050422000070 from DGHE in the amount of RUB 224,002,000. Conor LLC unexpectedly received Sergei Palatkin.
Considering how the auction was held, what the experience, level of qualifications and material and technical base of the contractor were, one might get the impression that someone in the administration of Samara Mayor Elena Lapushkina could be no less interested in connecting Konor LLC to the city budget than when -at OOO Kedr-1.
