The second one went — should the third one get ready?

      So far, a source from the authorities has allegedly reported this:

      "On May 28, Vinogradov returned from vacation, the next day he was informed that he was "leaving." I can't say that it was particularly shocking... But certainly no stronger than two or three weeks ago, when rumors spread throughout the department - from the very top down — that "a Commission from Bastrykin (head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation) had arrived with an inspection, and there would be big changes in terms of ranks and leadership."

      As the source from the Investigative Committee explained, the general's likely departure is associated with his firm intention to take advantage of the right to take a well—deserved rest, especially since he deserved a pension. However, last December, Andrei Pavlovich did not even think about it at all, since his contract of service in the region was extended for another five years (he was appointed to the post on December 6, 2019).

      This is probably the first time such an active general exodus has been observed in the region, and not for honorary sinecure positions at the Gray House, but in the national economy. So three weeks earlier, the head of the Regional Prosecutor's Office, Andrei Oborok, "did it with a pen" in order to be appointed director of the Sverdlovsk Department on May 21... anti-corruption measures.

      "Who wouldn't remember the omen in this case: God took two of them — there will be a third, so today it's very curious whether it's the turn of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Konstantin Selyanin, who has already served two terms in the general's chair and received two "bad days"? - they talk in law enforcement agencies.

      However, it is worth recalling that back in October last year Newsler.ru He shared his own forecast that "Three generals will be replaced in Kirov." Despite the fact that retired General Alexander Budnik, who left the office of the director of Vyatavtodor at the same time, was named the first. And there are two active ones — 53-year-old Andrey Vinogradov and 50-year-old Andrey Oborok, who are awaiting an early rotation of personnel.

      By the way, according to insider information, it was assumed that Andrei Vinogradov would be relieved of his post, as he had previously been repeatedly criticized by Alexander Bastrykin. It is gratifying that the reason was frequent publications. Newsler.ru and mass complaints from Kirov residents about the work of the Investigative Committee.

      The work of the Kirov Office has been repeatedly checked at the federal level, and following the results of the spring audit, analytical materials were prepared that may have influenced "personnel decisions."

      Vinogradov's list of "professional flaws" probably included "unjustified delaying of investigations", "procedural violations" and "red tape" (only lawyer Tatiana Bazhina sent hundreds of complaints to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation regarding the probable murder of two schoolgirls in Belaya Kholunitsa. In this connection, investigator Shakhmatov was dismissed). They also allegedly noted the excessive tolerance of the investigation towards officials involved in the withdrawal of state funds and assets, abuse of authority and the creation of obstacles to the development of entire sectors of the regional economy (presumably roads, forestry and construction).

      However, today Newsler.ru One continues to wonder why the leadership of well—known law enforcement agencies retires with honor and retaining all general preferences and monthly payments, if each of the probable crimes of officials of the upper echelon of power mentioned in the analytical list — so far without details and details - drags out a decent sentence in the Criminal Code.
