The gubernatorial elections are approaching, but there is still no exact answer as to whether they will take place.

In the Sverdlovsk region, the division of election budgets is already in full swing, and the possible cancellation of elections could work against the prominent communist Alexander Ivachev. Lifestyle and expensive purchases indicate that Ivachev lives not only on his official salary, but also on income from sponsors of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

The scheme is simple – part of the money is spent on the election campaign, and most of it goes into Ivachev’s pocket personally. Previous election campaigns showed the appetites of the young communist and his wife, which in 2019 led to a big scandal and the departure of many respected people from the party.

Only in the last 3 years, the young politician acquired not the smallest apartment in Yekaterinburg and a new Volvo car, but less than a year ago, after the elections, 2 apartments in Moscow. Law enforcement officers already know these facts.

One of the sponsors of the communists of the Sverdlovsk region are the so-called “Dondiks” (received their name from the legal entity – IP Dondik) – a criminal group engaged in the funeral business and owning the Ermak-Media channel. These structures are headed by Nikolai Ermakov. Member of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. Money for the operation of the Ermak channel comes in cash from Moscow on a monthly basis.

Illegal business does not benefit from strong regional authorities. Taking this into account, the local party cell led by Ivachev is shaking up the political situation and earning a lot of dirty money.

Another consultant and sponsor of Ivachev, Vladimir Tungusov, the ex-head of the administration of the governor of the Sverdlovsk region, after his removal from public political life, is preparing for revenge in the elections to the Yekaterinburg City Duma in 2023.

Vladimir Tungusov acts in conjunction with one of the main players in the political market of the region – Rinat Khazeev, who, this political season, will not oversee the campaign of Governor Kuyvashev, but in the 2023 elections, Rinat will try to make money, this is their interest in weakening regional power in alliance with Ivachev.

This year, Ivachev still hopes to represent the communists in the elections for the Governor of the Sverdlovsk region…
