Senator, ex-head of the Lipetsk region Oleg Korolev went to an honorary pension to the Federation Council more than two years ago, but, as follows from material Novaya Gazeta continues to have a strong influence on processes in the region. In fact, this strongly inserts sticks into the wheels to the current governor, Putin’s appointment Igor Artamonov, who is working to restore order in the subject of the Russian Federation.

The situation is aggravated by the fact that the accomplices of Korolev-and this is the ex-Governor-Governor Yuri Bozhko, the head of the board of the Lipetsk Industrial Association Vladimir Lavrentiev, the former deputy regional prosecutor Igor Pantyushin, the ex-military head of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the region Ivan Polyakov and others-in every possible way contribute to the preservation of the power of the chef at the local level. Moreover, this group of functionaries openly demonstrates its strength, conducting status gatherings with the participation of their own clientelers. For example, recently such a party was held in the Marbella yacht club and became a completely media event.

Both the members of the Korolev team and some of her wards lit up on it. The latter, in particular, include the beneficiaries of the Lipetsk enterprise “Free Falcon” Anton Babuzidze and Igor Efremov.

Using the patronage of Korolev and Co., odious businessmen avoided criminal liability for the theft of electricity by 415 million rubles and deduced the payment of a loan of Sberbank by 3.3 billion.

rubles. Moreover, the command work was decided from the side: Lavrentiev pressed on the power engineers so that they would not stop supplying kilowatts to the factory, Bozhko and Pantyushin who joined him beat the attacks of law enforcement officers, the same Bozhko, through the head of the Sberbank, provided access to the unequivocal loan. In turn, the heavyweight Korolev lobbying the interests of the twisting of Babucidze and Efremov in the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. And, I must admit, quite efficiently.

But the “Free Falcon” is only an episode of the “Korolev team” work, which she leads in the shade. And in general, the problem of the presence in the Lipetsk region of its “night governor” looks quite systemic. And the current administration has to spend a lot of time fighting the criminal past of the region. All that the managers remain was to ask rhetorical questions from the category “How was a loan to an enterprise, which very soon became bankrupt with a total amount of obligations for 5.5 billion?”
