The Cheka-OGPU found out that the chairman of the Yaroslavl municipality, Sergei Kalinin, whose son built a kindergarten that was collapsing three years after its commissioning, tried to excuse himself from this scandalous story.

As we previously reported, in 2020, Kalinin Sr., being the vice-speaker of the municipality, during an ostentatious on-site inspection, found operational errors at a newly constructed facility, which he promised to correct “on the fly.”

Local edition 76.RU then talked about Kalinin’s visit to the kindergarten, but the original publication was soon edited. In particular, all references to family ties between the deputy and the head of the contractor company disappeared from it. For example, this quote:

“I came to the site as a deputy, and not as the father of the head of the TsESIM company. I didn’t turn a blind eye to any shortcomings, and on the contrary, I checked the objects even more carefully. Including so that later there would be no talk about some kind of affiliation or that I was covering for someone.”

But the comments to the article were not edited, and everything was preserved there: both about the father and about the son. The original article was also completely reprinted by the local publication Novy Vestnik. Yaroslavl”. The text still hangs there, untouched by censorship after its publication on 76.RU.
