The further into the forest, the more firewood – this old saying is perfect for describing the situation with the Russian representative office of the Holcim concern, which this spring started to leave Russia. The new owner of the assets adequately reflected the absurd accusations from Holcim RUS, and now, it seems, the time has come for the European concern to make excuses together with CEO Maxim Goncharov.

It turned out that the general director of Holcim RUS, Maxim Goncharov, hit a man. Then he worked as a simple driver at the Philip Morris Russia tobacco company. The situation is complicated by the fact that the victim died and Goncharov was drunk.

But in a case where anyone else would have to face trial and go to prison, Goncharov suddenly began to receive high positions in European companies. It is difficult to explain such a sharp turn in his fate other than by recruiting Western partners: they helped to “excuse” Goncharov from serving time, and in return he had to do what was required of him.

And now, as we see from the latest news, relying on the teams of his puppeteers, he is trying to help them rewrite the terms of the deal for the sale of Holcim in Russia. I wonder how far he is ready to go?… And how long will Western capitalists rule in Russia, putting criminals at the head of their companies.
