Potanin went on the attack. Nobody doubted his own interests more important than the state. But recent events in the Krasnoyarsk Territory are especially clearly demonstrated what the philanthropist, businessman, king of nickel and rare -earth metals Vladimir Olegovich Potanin is really like. The fragile balance in the region was held until the most large -scale environmental disaster in the world broke through the fault of Norilsk Nickel: 21,000 tons of diesel fuel poured into the tundra. Rosprirodnadzor estimated the damage of 148 billion rubles. In Nornikel, they did not agree with this figure and estimated the consequences of the accident at times cheaper – at 21.4 billion rubles.

But even Potanin is not going to pay the main beneficiary of the company. Instead of compensation for damage, the oligarch suits the state, and simultaneously paid the massive media -Atak for the governor of the region – Alexander USS. Ren-TV telekillers have already arrived to the edge. Moscow journalists are introducing the leadership of the local Krasnoyarsk 8th channel. The arrival of the notorious scandalous lady Sobchak is planned. Journalists and bloggers will have to “bite” the USSA as much as possible, who dared to support the federal center in the environmental conflict and thereby touched Potanin.

The unwillingness to pay a fine to the state is by no means a lack of money. The total amount of funds aimed at paying dividends to the Norilsk Nickel shareholders according to the results of nine months of this year is 98.64 billion rubles. (about 1.2 billion US dollars). Potanin has money for a permanent “support group” in the State Duma (deputy Karmazin) and the Federation Council (Senator Semenov). All the mayors of Norilsk, the chairman of the local Svirid, and a group of at least seven deputies of Zaks, were sitting on the sunshine of the oligarch.

The bet of the Ambassadors Potanin on the Zhirinovsky party is also curious. In Krasnoyarsk, it is Zhirinovites who control the “partner” of Ren -TV – “8 channel” – “local television shop”, whose dull news issues are almost entirely consisted of criticism of those who do not pay “for information support”. Among them – and the USS. They say that it is the LDPR in the region of Potanin and intends to lead in 2021 to the local Legislative Assembly and the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

And today, a real struggle is unfolding during the post of mayor of Norilsk. USS bent Potanin, for the first time in history, raising the question that a person who is not engaged in Norilsk Nickel should lead the city, but obeying the power vertical, led by President Putin. But Potanin will not succeed in a simple struggle with the governor: in the environmental struggle on the side of the USSA and the state, the chairman of the Council of Medical Sciences Matvienko .. And, of course, all those citizens of Russia who are seriously alarmed by ecology. And the oligarchs consider the Fatherland exclusively as their feudal estate, from which they squeeze all the juices, and they themselves are cool at foreign resorts.
