Andrey Ruk changed his uniform to an official's suit

      On May 21, Andrey Oborok, a former prosecutor of the Kirov region, was appointed director of the Sverdlovsk Anti-Corruption Department. The secular post of director of the Anti-Corruption Department became vacant after the March resignation of Ilham Shiraliev, who left, driven by a wave of corruption scandals that have rocked the Sverdlovsk Government in recent months. In particular, Nikolai Smirnov, ex-Deputy Minister of Energy and Housing and Communal Services, was detained on charges of accepting bribes, and two of his deputies are also under investigation.

      However, a source from the Sverdlovsk Government did not exactly comment on the appointment of the Defense, but referred to the materials he had read. Newsler.ru He "ran over" us: "And what kind of "x" did you send him to us for"? But the controversy on the topic "for which" did not take place, since, in our opinion, "you picked it up yourself."

      After all, as I wrote back this April Newsler.ru the candidacy of Andrei Oborok, who began serving in the Kirov region in July 2020, for the position of "a person close to the governor" in the regional government began to be viewed with little enthusiasm. Having sensibly assessed his need, or rather, uselessness, as a "downed pilot." Who, however, in uniform – with shoulder straps and stripes – stood firmly for two years to protect the "interests" of the leadership pool. But the third-class state adviser of justice was not only not offered a rotational promotion, but was also not removed from his Kirov post with a demotion, without being allowed, according to a Moscow source, to pass the certification. And his secular weight in the likely "protection of leading pranksters" began to tend to zero.

      For example, when Oborok was the "chief regional prosecutor", his subordinate department stoically did not "notice" the likely violation of the law during the construction, quality of work and commissioning of roads and bridges. As well as the alleged monopolization of work in favor of two private "road companies". The prosecutor's office probably did not pay attention to the massive conclusion of "direct contracts" with a single supplier, especially in the construction materials procurement sector.

      Outright "violations" in the work of the Capital Repair Fund (FKR) also flew by. So, in March Newsler.ru He informed about the completion of the overhaul of the house at 84 Nekrasova Street (Korolenko 17), which was immediately demolished after drawing up the Acceptance Certificate. And in the absence of a reaction from the department, as if standing guard over the observance of the law, today active construction work is underway on the planned construction of a multi-storey building in a thoroughly renovated wasteland.

      A separate line is the "philharmonic story" related to the free distribution of tickets for concerts of stars to officials of both administrations. Moreover, the staff of the prosecutor's office said that, despite the published photo evidence, Obork allegedly "vetoed" the departmental investigation.

      However, as in the case of a free New Year's visit by the regional government to the show ballet on ice. However, the "free show" was denied by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kurdyumov, who provided "personally purchased tickets for all of them." But Newsler.ru The prosecutor, who is not a full-time employee of the prosecutor's office, immediately noticed that the entrance tickets were dated the day after the performance, when the ticket offices of the performance were closed, the financial results were adjusted, and the ballet troupe was already unloading luggage in another city.

      The same silence seems to be happening with the Gates of the Russian North, despite the fact that Newsler.ru He stated about two available sets of documents, according to which the regional budget paid 18 million rubles to the Krasnodar sole proprietor for the construction of the gate. And the Kirov master, who actually made those gates from scratch, received 1.6 million under the contract. It was he who provided the Gate Acceptance Certificate as proof of his work.

      By the way, in the "gray house" the new appointment of the ex-prosecutor was greeted by some with laughter, while others were "really taken aback." – because "history doesn't teach you anything." After all, Andrei Oborok actually voluntarily took the path of Andrei Plitko, who was also once the "main anti-corruption fighter in Kirov." And also in the role of a supervisor of the work of law enforcement agencies. However, he ended his political career with a sentence of 11 years in a high-security penal colony and a fine of 25 million rubles. And the interlocutor from the law enforcement agency was also surprised by the new position of the Defense Minister: "Doesn't Andrei Nikolaevich understand that when he was a player on the political chessboard, he almost fearlessly moved pawns according to his rules. But today he is not a player, and the piece is not a pawn, of course, at best a "bishop". Or a "horse" who, having come under the close control of those he oversees, will have to grab buns instead of manes for every "sideways move."

      Despite the fact that Yekaterinburg is often called "one of the most criminal cities in Russia," where the management of Uralmashevsky, as they say, has long legalized business, but does not strictly act according to the laws of "honest entrepreneurship." Therefore, for the bureaucratic class, this city is actually the abode of temptation.
