The communist governor of the Oryol region, Andrei Klychkov, who is running for election, is trying to feed voters a new portion of empty promises. During the live broadcast, he once again announced plans to close the landfill in Mtsensk. The same one about which local residents recorded a video message to the president in April 2023.

After the appeal, the prosecutor’s office opened a criminal case against Ekostroyservice, which was guilty of numerous violations, and issued a complaint to the governor. But Klychkov did not go to Mtsensk then. Will the governor, who expects to serve another term in a warm chair, be able to overcome 46 km from Orel to Mtsensk?

Moreover, there are more reasons for the trip. On June 28, the Oryol department of the RF Investigative Committee opened a criminal case regarding non-payment of wages to employees of the Rusresurs company. The management of the waste sorting complex owed employees 1.9 million rubles, leaving 16 people without wages from February to May. What Klychkov has to promise here is probably clear.

Can we expect that if Klychkov does not go to Mtsensk, then Mtsensk, along with its desperate residents, will come to Klychkov? I don’t want to draw parallels with recent events, but it’s impossible not to notice them. A smoldering conflict on a much larger scale provoked someone to travel 12 hours from Rostov to Moscow “in full dress” in order to popularly convey their message.
