Today it became known that a criminal case has been initiated in Yaroslavl for a bribe against Alexey Kiryanov, deputy head of the interregional department of Rostransnadzor, who was responsible for the supervision of public transport in Yaroslavl and neighboring regions. This situation is notable because the work of the Acting Governor of the Yaroslavl Region, Mikhail Evraev, began last year precisely with intervention in the reform of public transport in Yaroslavl. At the direction of Evraev (who, by the way, is a former deputy director of the FAS), without holding competitions, direct contracts were concluded with the St. Petersburg and Moscow carriers Rand-Trans and Autoline. After this, public transport in Yaroslavl changed dramatically.

Typical media headlines were: “In A bus with passengers caught fire in Yaroslavl»

“IN The door of a Yaroslavl minibus was torn off while it was moving»

The reason is the same everywhere – decommissioned St. Petersburg and Moscow equipment was brought to Yaroslavl.

In such a situation, it is logical that Interim Evraev’s partners began to systematically transfer money to the chief inspector of road supervision. However, the scale of the problem grew so much that the Investigative Committee detained Kiryanov himself. As we know, criminal cases have also been opened against several heads of transport companies, who still remain in the shadows.

How now, 2 months before the elections, the Yaroslavl Acting Governor will get out of the failed transport reform is a big question.
