However, in response, Chirkunov called on youth organizations in the region “in an open, free discussion” to prove that the ideas of nationalism “contradict the basic laws of human life on earth.”

Minister of Natural Resources Yuri Trutnev turned out to be a beneficiary of Uralkali

The conflict “Yuri Trutnev – Oleg Chirkunov” flared up in earnest. The spark for a powerful political fire, as usual, was the accident in Berezniki. The two politicians have almost opposite views on solving the Bereznikov problem. The Perm leader is being helped to survive his dispute with the minister by his high-ranking friend, the head of Rosoboronexport, Sergei Chemezov. Meanwhile, URA.Ru became aware of a sensational fact: Yuri Trutnev is a beneficiary of Uralkali. In this regard, many of the minister’s words and movements appear in a slightly different light... The mutual hostility of the Governor of the Perm Territory Oleg Chirkunov and the Minister of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation Yuri Trutnev has already become difficult to hide. And this applies to both politicians. Their confrontation is especially noticeable in the course of solving the problem with the accident in Berezniki. The misunderstanding started a long time ago. As a high-ranking source in the regional government told URA.Ru, immediately after the mine accident in 2006, the Perm governor said that the disaster in Berezniki was man-made. Thus, the company itself was also to blame for the emergency. However, the Minister of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation thought differently. From his words it turned out that these were exclusively natural disasters. Accordingly, Uralkali in this case was not involved in the accident.

"Sieg Heil!" Governor Chirkunov

An experimental inoculation of fascism took place on February 3 in the Perm region. Nikita Belykh, leader of the Union of Right Forces and former vice-governor of the region, brought representatives of political youth movements, mostly opposition, to his small homeland. And to add some spice, local fascists were present at the forum. They, like circus horses, demonstrated their ability to raise their arms in a Nazi salute and were very well received by the public. The governor of the Perm region, Oleg Chirkunov, even seated one of the young fascists at his table.

Yuri Trutnev in search of the nature of slander. The Minister of Natural Resources appealed to the Prosecutor General's Office

Natural Resources Minister Yuri Trutnev on Thursday asked the Prosecutor General's Office to open a criminal case against those who organized a campaign to discredit him in a number of media outlets. The reason was the article “Sensation! The Minister of the Russian Federation is the beneficiary of a large Ural enterprise,” published on December 17 on the website Ura.ru, and then reprinted by a number of other online publications.

It reported on the conflict that allegedly broke out between Yuri Trutnev and the governor of the Perm region Oleg Chirkunov after the disaster at the Uralkali mine in Berezniki in October 2006. Officials disagreed about the causes of the accident: Trutnev insisted on the “natural” version, and Chirkunov on the man-made one. However, the authors of the article, citing an anonymous source, argued that Yuri Trutnev was shielding Uralkali with his version, since he allegedly is its beneficiary and owns shares in this company.

In addition, the material stated that the head of the Ministry of Natural Resources allegedly prevented the construction of a six-kilometer section railway in Berezniki and thereby created difficulties for Uralkali’s competitors in transporting carnallite.

The Chirkunov case is an order of the Presidential Administration

High-profile prosecutorial investigations and criminal cases against the leadership of the Perm region have not left the pages of newspapers for a whole month.

What is unusual is the fact that the main question posed by the media is not “what is Governor Chirkunov’s fault?”, but “who placed the order for him?” After all, everyone knows that the Perm regional head does not belong to any economic or political group.

It is for this reason that anyone could “place an order”.

For example, the gas or oil lobby (Permregiongaz director Andrey Agishev has long been trying on the governor’s chair, and one of the top officials of LUKOIL-Perm, Gennady Tushnolobov, has already headed the regional cell of United Russia).

For example, the Renova group, which methodically, one after another, absorbs entire segments of the economy of the Kama region (appetite, as you know, comes with eating).

For example, Chirkunov’s former business partner, head of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Yuri Trutnev (here there are any reasons, including psychological ones: Trutnev, as you know, was the governor of the Kama region in 2000-2004).

But the scale of the order cannot be covered by any of these versions. The complexity of the “bombing” forces us to conclude: behind the persecution of the governor there is something more than economic and psychological problems.

Today in Russia, only one political force is capable of mobilizing such a wide range of punitive instruments in a short time - the administration of the President of the country. It's time to name the real customer.

The 23-year-old son of the Perm governor, Anton Chirkunov, who received Swiss citizenship, became an adviser to the government of the Perm region

Anton Chirkunov, the son of the governor of the Perm region Oleg Chirkunov, became an adviser to the regional government. The 23-year-old first-born son of the regional head, who was educated in Switzerland, will advise officials on issues of industry and entrepreneurship.

The son of the Governor of the Perm Territory Oleg Chirkunov, Anton, became an adviser to the Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Perm Territory Yuri Utkin. The son of the head of the region will deal with issues of industry and business, Utkin himself told Kommersant about this. Let us note that Anton Chirkunov is 23 years old, studied in Switzerland, and graduated from the Higher Technical School of Zurich.

The founder of the Perm Observer media group, Igor Grinberg, in a conversation with a Club of Regions correspondent, doubted that the son of the Perm governor could be useful with his advice on industrial issues: “In general, the Higher Technical School of Zurich is not the worst educational institution. But I think this is not seriously simple. This is a dad giving his son an internship or some other cunning moves, I think this is wrong. This is to put some personal affairs of the son, so that he rubs himself here at the state expense, advises something. Maybe he put his son in charge so that he would look after Utkin and Sukhikh (Chairman of the Government of the Perm Territory - Note “KR”). It's all comedic."

Governor's destinies

The case of Oleg Chirkunov, among other recent scandals with governors, looks the most mysterious. The governor who is at the head of a region with good economic indicators and a relatively high quality of government, and who is not openly in conflict with either the Kremlin or major economic players, has fallen under the threat.

The Prosecutor General's Office commission began an unscheduled inspection in the region in mid-July. It was not reported what prompted the inspection. By the beginning of August, prosecutorial activity resulted in nine criminal cases, seven proposals to eliminate violations of the law, and a press conference at which the sins of the governor’s team were presented to the public in some detail.

The list of sins was not impressive. Chirkunov himself was accused of flying Perm Airlines for personal needs at state expense (the regional administration soon published materials refuting these facts), unpaid helicopter flights within the region, installing a walkie-talkie tuned to police frequencies in his official car, and the like. . All of this, of course, may be violations, but it was in no way worthy of an operation to expose a major corrupt official.

What do the relatives of the governors of the Volga and Ural federal districts do?

Not everyone is able to sell “Family”...

During times of crisis, the heads of regions receive especially close attention from the federal center. Reporting in the form of the number of activities and labor resources involved in the process is no longer perceived. Result required. It is all the more difficult to turn a blind eye to the “hobbies” of regional heads in the form of controlled firms, banks and corporations, fed to the budget.

Using the example of the Perm Territory, one can see how a donor region is gradually turning into a subsidized region with all the ensuing social consequences. For the first time in the last few years, the budget for 2009 was drawn up with a deficit - 9.9%, despite the fact that in the ranking of regions according to such an indicator as per capita expenses, the Perm Territory is at the very bottom of the list - as much as 70th place.

Mortality in the region is steadily increasing, and the main reasons are the lack of qualified medical care in the regions. Children's morbidity rates are growing year after year—since 2003, the number of cases has increased by more than a third. This year alone, in the Okhansky district, mortality increased by 63.2%, in the Ordinsky district - by 37.7%, in the Kochevsky district - by 36.6%, and there are many such districts. These indicators can be reduced only with timely and regular diagnosis and treatment. However, after Governor Chirkunov’s reforms aimed at reducing social costs, only residents of the regional center can receive timely and qualified medical care and education (though not always). Oleg Chirkunov generally considers spending on the population unnecessary, since the governorship, as he himself stated, for him is a “business project.” And since it is a business, it means that it is necessary to reduce costs for people by any means, which is what has been happening over the past few years, because in Russia business does not yet want to be voluntarily social. The result is an increase in social tension.

The Prosecutor General's Office convicted Oleg Chirkunov of illegal use of aviation

Yesterday the results of an unscheduled inspection by the Prosecutor General's Office of the Perm Territory administration were made public. Based on its results, criminal cases were initiated against nine regional officials. Governor Oleg Chirkunov may also be under investigation, whom inspectors have accused of fraud with business trips, illegal use of aviation and obtaining information constituting state secrets without appropriate clearance. The governor of the Amur region, Leonid Korotkov, who faced similar claims in March of this year, was dismissed by the president three months later.

Yesterday, at a briefing by the regional prosecutor's office, the preliminary results of the inspection of the Prosecutor General's Office, whose commission has been working in the Kama region for the last two weeks, were summed up. “During the inspection, numerous violations were revealed in the activities of the administration of the Perm Territory, its officials, as well as Governor Oleg Chirkunov,” said senior assistant prosecutor of the region Tatyana Shuvaeva. First of all, the violations were related to the registration of business trips and the use of aviation. For example, in 2005, Mr. Chirkunov, having arranged a business trip to Moscow, went to Ukraine “for personal purposes,” and in 2006, being included in the delegation of the Ministry economic development and trade of the Russian Federation, was heading on a business trip to India, but instead flew to the UAE. According to Ms. Shuvaeva, the costs of the bills presented by the governor “were assigned to the administration’s department of international and foreign economic relations.” Then Tatyana Shuvaeva reported that, by order of the governor, FSUE Perm Airlines provided him and other VIP passengers with security and services in the hall of official delegations free of charge. For this, the regional authorities owed the Federal State Unitary Enterprise 105 thousand rubles. The prosecutor's office believes that Mr. Chirkunov and the chairman of the regional government, Nikolai Bukhvalov, “spend budget funds irrationally” when using small aircraft to travel around the region. “Saving personal time, officials flew by helicopter to Demidkovo, Zaozerye and the village of Belaya Gora,” the prosecutor’s office notes.

As the inspectors found out, for flights of five or six people, the regional administration paid from budget funds for the full load of the aircraft, overpaying 79.6 thousand rubles.

Oleg Chirkunov lost millions in the seizure of federal land

The governor of the Perm region, Oleg Chirkunov, is trying to force the federal structures operating in the region to turn a blind eye to Russian laws for the sake of his gubernatorial business interests. So far he has not succeeded, but the pressure on federal officials is constantly increasing. The governor is trying to dismiss the head of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate and the regional prosecutor because they refused to come up with a case against the head of the regional department of FAUFI (Rosimushchestvo) Leonid Li, whose management through the court proved the illegality of Oleg Anatolyevich’s property.

While compiling a register of federal property in the Perm region, the regional department of FAUFI discovered an interesting thing - a plot of land with an area of ​​about 6 hectares owned by the Ministry of Defense in Perm on the street. Revolution ended up being leased from a certain commercial structure, and houses for military personnel and other buildings located on the site were demolished. Now the building of the Semia hypermarket rises on this site and its second phase is being built.

The site in question was given back in 1948 for indefinite use to one of the divisions of the Ministry of Defense, about which the corresponding act has been preserved. In 2003, the specified land plot and the buildings on it, by order of the Ministry of Property Relations of the Russian Federation, were assigned the right of operational management to the Perm apartment and operational part of the region of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

While the federal authorities, on the basis of documents, considered the land to be theirs, this land plot in the most primitive way migrated from federal property to municipal property - by decree of the head of the city of Perm. In 2001, the mayor of the city A. Kamenev gave two hectares to OJSC "Perm Oblunivermag" for the construction of a shopping center, which was built in 2004. The mayor issued several resolutions on land and property that did not belong to him, the last one was issued on February 11, 2005 "The Construction Department of the City of Perm" for permanent "indefinite" use of 5.7 hectares "with the demolition of residential and administrative buildings and outbuildings."

The starting price for maintaining an official's blog is 50,000 rubles. per month, average - 100,000 rubles.

Oleg Chirkunov is 52, but this does not prevent him from feeling like a duck to water on the Internet. Over the past year, he not only started Facebook and Twitter, but is also actively developing another project - his blog on Worldpress, where he gradually dragged almost all of his subordinates. Among the active Twitter users are the 58-year-old governor of the Kaluga region Anatoly Artamonov (in 2.5 months from the opening of the page - about 600 entries), his 63-year-old colleague in the Vladimir region Nikolai Vinogradov (since March last year - 1,500 entries) and 57-year-old Georgy Poltavchenko, presidential envoy to the Central Federal District (since July 2010 - about 1,700). And 64-year-old Vyacheslav Pozgalev is the owner of not only a personal website, a blog on the regional administration portal and Twitter, but also a personal channel on YouTube.

The Prosecutor General's Office became interested in the retail business of Oleg Chirkunov

The Perm region has found itself in a zone of audit turbulence. After inspections of the activities of the local administration, criminal cases were initiated against two regional ministers. State Duma deputy Viktor Ilyukhin asks the Prosecutor General to check the business of Governor Oleg Chirkunov. Chirkunov himself initiates an appeal to law enforcement agencies with a complaint against the actions of the regional administration of the Federal Agency for Federal Property Management, which, in turn, challenged in court the rights of the Semya retail chain, which is within the sphere of interests of the governor, to lease a plot of land in the center of Perm. “The damage from the destruction of federal buildings and structures amounts to more than 39 million rubles. Viktor Ilyukhin cites this figure in his request." Commenting on the initiation of criminal cases against his subordinates - the regional Minister of Education Nikolai Karpushin and the regional Minister of Culture Oleg Oshchepkov, Governor Oleg Chirkunov said that the administration is interested in this kind of inspections, since it allows monitoring compliance with the laws by government employees authorities.

I wonder who,” Oleg Chirkunov complained, noting that he liked the design of the leaflets, and he called their appearance free advertising. “All this is some kind of stupidity, nonsense,” Oleg Chirkunov told Kommersant, “the next one will be about the fact that I am selling my homeland.”

The veil of secrecy has been lifted over the scheme for withdrawing funds earned by the SemYA group of trading companies, owned by the governor of the Perm region Chirkunov. So, LLC "Management Company "EX" de facto controls 48 retail outlets - from the Assol and Bureaucrat stores to the Sadovy and Solnechny shopping centers. Directly, the management company itself does not own anything - it only receives the so-called royalties from stores using the name and trademark “SemYA”. Personally, Oleg Chirkunov owns 18.82% of Perm Oblunivermag OJSC and 19.99% of Semya Supermarket CJSC (this CJSC manages the premises and also acts as one of the parties to agreements with tenants in 25 shopping centers operating under the brand " Family" and also owns 100% of EXPO-Tolyatti LLC).

The Perm governor is disappointed in the fight against corruption

In response to a call from blogger Alexei Navalny to collect dirt on the governor of the Perm Territory, Oleg Chirkunov announced in his blog that he was no longer going to participate in projects like RosPil. Recently, anti-corruption fighter Navalny reported that the Perm governor transferred 25 thousand rubles to the RosPil account for the development of the project. But at the same time he called on everyone to collect information about major corruption precedents in the Perm region. In response to this call, Oleg Chirkunov wrote the following on his blog:

The further into the forest

Regarding the bandit, who may not be a policeman :)) bloggers suggested an interesting detail. The characters in the car belonging to the police colonel are supposedly directly related to the Volga-Ural Interregional Service for Economic and Internal Security at the establishment of the National Security Academy of the Russian Federation. Curly. Does anyone know anything good or bad about this organization? Surely it was created to help orphans, and the video shows elements of their statutory activities :)

Alexei Navalny collects dirt on Oleg Chirkunov

Alexey Navalny, the notorious blogger and author of the RosPil project, asks all concerned to collect information about dubious government procurement in the Perm region. Thus, he wants to thank the governor of the Kama region, Oleg Chirkunov, for allocating 25 thousand rubles to support the RosPil project.
“Governor of the Perm Territory Oleg Chirkunov became the first official to openly transfer money to RosPil. Well done, man. Chirkunov wrote a post about this, not failing to poke fun at me in it, but he actually transferred 25,000 rubles last Friday. So that we also have something to tease Governor Chirkunov, I ask everyone who has information about dubious government procurement in the Perm Territory to send it to us. We will check it very carefully,” writes Alexey Navalny in his blog

Oleg Chirkunov announced a public collection of incriminating evidence against himself

Governor of the Perm Territory Oleg Chirkunov yesterday, August 24, was puzzled by accusations of theft against him despite the fact that “he has skin like a hippopotamus.” “But sometimes something human wakes up inside and you want to know that it’s not true,” he complained. The governor, as a “free man,” proposed posting “all the facts of his theft, corruption and other use of power resources for the purpose of profit” on his blog. Comments from bloggers range from open admiration for the position of the head of the region and his openness to direct questions, but nothing compromising the governor no one presented the facts. “If there were facts, there would be a statement to the prosecutor’s office, as you taught. And so - rumors and confusion,” one blogger responds and asks questions: “1. To build the hyper, the family did not run the 6 tram for about 2 years. Who authorized this and who was punished for it?2. Miraculously, all the gastronomes that were attractive in terms of location were concentrated in one hand. An incredible coincidence? 3. The central blocks of the city are given over to the development of the hyper family. Did you win the competition by chance?” “All three questions are closely related to bureaucracy and business,” he comments. Many questions still remain unanswered by the governor. To another reader’s question about what exactly Oleg Anatolyevich wants to hear, the governor simply answers: “Laski.”

Officials will be deprived of kettles and office doors

Employees of the administration of the Perm region will very soon lose doors in their offices. This initiative was made by the head of the regional government apparatus, Makar German. In addition, personal printers, filing cabinets, as well as bedside tables with a kettle, cup and bagels, dear to the heart of every employee, will be eliminated. The initiators of this truly revolutionary reform argue that in this way it is possible to achieve the most transparent working conditions for regional officials. The civil servants themselves are perplexed - how can they drink tea now and where should they put their personal belongings?

Two chairs of the Perm governor Chirkunov

Governor of the Perm Territory Oleg Chirkunov does not like to be a public politician. Even in their native lands, not everyone knows that the wife and sons of one of richest people Russians, whose name is included in the list of Russian billionaires according to Finance magazine, are citizens of Switzerland. And that, having formally headed the United Russia list in the elections to the regional legislative assembly, Chirkunov is not against helping his former deputy Nikita Belykh and ensuring second place for the SPS list.

The close connection between Chirkunov and Belykh, as many Perm experts believe, is tied not so much to a common belief in “liberal values” as to specific business interests.

When in March 2004 Oleg Chirkunov became acting. Governor of the Perm region, he immediately approved the candidacy of Nikita Belykh for the most important position of vice-governor for economics and finance. The current leader of the Union of Right Forces moved there from the chair of the general director of the notorious Investment Banking Group Parma, which existed in Perm for just over two years and was remembered, according to the financial magazine Company, “thanks to a number of high-profile scandals.” In particular, with an additional issue of one of Parma’s subsidiaries, Ermak OJSC, in the amount of a quarter of the authorized capital, which turned out to be registered not under Parma, but under a certain IBG LLC.

How the head of the Perm region Oleg Chirkunov deceived Prime Minister Putin

The governor of the Perm Territory, Oleg Chirkunov, a blogger known for his openness, once spoke sparingly in his online diary about his meeting with the Chairman of the Russian Government, Vladimir Putin. He didn’t even tell, but simply stated: “A meeting took place with Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. In the part where journalists were not present, he reported on the state of the Belkomur project and our ambitions for “ cultural capital" On the first issue I received a resolution on the document, on the second I received active and interested support.” Requests from bloggers to tell more about the meeting by the governor were ignored. What are the reasons for such a sudden silence of Oleg Chirkunov, who always seems to demonstrate complete openness?

In fact, Oleg Chirkunov has something to keep quiet about. Not every governor will decide to misinform the head of government, and certainly none of the heads of the region will brag about it. We carefully read the transcript of the conversation between Vladimir Putin and the Perm governor.

For example, to Vladimir Putin’s question about how residents of the Kama region are experiencing the crisis, Oleg Chirkunov literally answers the following: “I think that now the situation is quite stable. What parameters would you use to characterize the situation? The most important thing is probably how people earn money and whether they have jobs. We began to collect 13 percent less taxes from the payroll fund. That is, these are the real losses that people feel in their pockets today. Since we collect less taxes, it means they receive less money. ...public sector employees and pensioners receive a stable salary or pension in times of crisis.”

“Governor Oleg Chirkunov convinced the deputies”

Deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the Perm Territory nevertheless agreed to allocate 50 million rubles to the Perm Center for Design Development. The struggle in the Legislative Assembly was tough, but by the time of today's meeting, the majority of deputies were already convinced that Perm needed a Design Development Center. The decisive role here was played by the position of Governor Oleg Chirkunov, who during the last round table supported the center, explaining that although the tasks it set were not at all simple, there was only one alternative - not to do anything at all. And I agree with this dilemma: we must give a fishing rod, give the opportunity to use creative forces to make money. If we just eat everything up, we will eventually be left without bread at all.

Oleg Chirkunov: you have to take the rap via the Internet

The Perm governor posted a video on his blog in which a police colonel beats a driver. Oleg Chirkunov appealed to the prosecutor's office with a demand to look into the complaint of one of the residents of Perm about the arbitrariness of the police. According to the person who asked for help, he was unable to give way to a Toyota with license plates that Interior Ministry officers usually put on their cars. As a result, a passenger in a foreign car waylaid him and attacked him with his fists. He introduced himself as a police colonel. The victim had to seek help at the emergency room. He also asked the regional governor for help in considering this case. Oleg Chirkunov transferred this case to the prosecutor's office and promised to see to it that it was completed, and also posted a video of the incident on his blog. In the comments to the post, information appeared that the owner of the car is the head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate for the Perm Territory, police colonel Anatoly Grachev. In response to these accusations, Grachev hastened to declare (also via the Internet) that during the emergency he was on a business trip, and had long ago sold the car to another person. Vesti FM learned from the governor himself how the investigation into this case is going.

Governor of the Perm Territory Oleg Chirkunov donated 25 thousand rubles to RosPil

Governor of the Perm Territory Oleg Chirkunov donated 25 thousand rubles to fight corruption. He transferred this amount to the RosPil project, Alexey Navalny said in his blog. Chirkunov became the first official to do this openly. However, Navalny claims that there were several more before him, but they asked not to disclose their names.

Earlier, Oleg Chirkunov promised in a blog that he would transfer Navalny’s fee from a lecture at the Academy of National Economy. Last Friday he actually made a transfer of 25 thousand rubles.

The creator of RosPila also introduced the project coordinator, Konstantin Kalmykov. He has been working with Navalny for three years, collecting and analyzing information and preparing documents. From April 1, he officially coordinates RosPil and will receive a salary from the money collected.

Two lawyers began their work on the project: Lyubov Fedeneva and Andrey Mishchenkov. Reports on their activities are publicly available on Google Docs. In the tables you can see exactly what lawyers do, see the results of their work and see all the documents they have produced.

Oleg Chirkunov asked Navalny to return his money

The governor of the Perm region, Oleg Chirkunov, who contributed to the development of RosPila, doubted that the funds he had transferred would be used for their intended purpose, and asked Navalny to send them to a fund to help children. Meanwhile, the blogger explained that returning this money is impossible, but he is ready, as an exception, to transfer his personal funds to the governor.

Oleg Chirkunov, who the day before sent Alexei Navalny’s RosPila 25 thousand rubles, was disappointed in the struggle funds and said that from now on he would only transfer money to relief funds. “I was afraid that my money might be used not to fight corruption, but to fight some other opponent of Navalny, and I don’t want that. “My conscience will torment me,” he writes on his blog, adding: “I would be grateful to Alexey if he transferred my money to some children’s aid society or some other good cause.”

In addition, the governor expressed bewilderment why “in response to the offer to work on the cool 94th law (on state procurement), Navalny invited LiveJournal readers to send materials about the Perm Territory.” “And I, apparently, will never transfer money to any struggle funds. Only for relief funds. This is a lesson for me,” the governor concluded

Following the Dzerzhinsky district of Perm, other areas of the city may be involved in separate waste collection

Commissioning work is being completed at the solid waste sorting and transfer station built in Perm. The Governor of the Perm Territory Oleg Chirkunov visited the site. As the director of Plamya LLC, Alexander Razmyslov, told the head of the region, the station will receive garbage from two districts of the city - Ordzhonikidze and Motovilikha. Secondary resources will be extracted from waste - polyethylene, paper, glass and metal. The company intends to process polyethylene into pyrolysis gas, which can be used as fuel (electricity and heat generation). Perm enterprises are ready to process other secondary resources (Penostal, Perm Pulp and Paper Mill, Permchermet). The remaining waste will be compacted and transported to the landfill in Safron. Thus, the volume of waste buried in landfills can be reduced by 10 times, and it will turn into fertilizer in 15-20 years.

How Oleg Chirkunov makes money on the roads

Governor of the Perm Territory Oleg Chirkunov, an active lobbyist for the retail business - his own chain of supermarkets "SemYa", due to the current economic situation, is reorienting to more stable sources of income - budget ones. And he started with the construction of roads...

Perm has its own small, but very corruption-intensive national projects, initiated by Governor Chirkunov. They are called “Seven Important Things.”

Among these “seven important matters”, which the head of the region is personally involved in, two projects relate to road construction. Construction of a road around Perm - “Big Perm” and the North-South highway - a strategically important road for the Perm region from Berezniki to Tchaikovsky.

By the way, road construction in the Perm region is the leader in budget funding. So in 2007, more than 8 billion rubles were spent on purposes related to the construction, repair and maintenance of regional roads, in 2008 - 8.8 billion rubles, and the 2009 budget provides for investments in roads at the level of 7.5 billion . rubles (taking into account the financial crisis!).

The entire state order is placed through a single customer - the State Institution "Administration of Highways" (100% founder - Road Agency of the Perm Territory) through so-called open auctions, the opacity of which is so often spoken about by the President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev. » distribution of funds allocated for the construction of roads, by order of the Governor of the Perm Territory, Elena Gromova was appointed to the position of head of the Road Agency in the second half of 2008, who previously held various positions in the divisions responsible for managing the property of the Kama region administration, and before joining the public service, she worked under the supervision of Oleg Chirkunov in the structures of the "EX" and "SemYA" groups.

In the struggle for attractive assets in the Perm region, the “copper oligarch” entered into an alliance with a “reputable businessman”

The day before it became known about the change of ownership of one of the largest enterprises in Russia for the production of power cables - Perm OJSC Kamkabel. According to numerous observers, dry information about the transfer of a 40% stake in the plant to offshore companies Jenssonbay Trading Limited and Ludwin Services Limited has become only the visible part of the iceberg. Extremely interesting details remained behind the scenes. After all, it’s not every day that the vectors of interests of such influential people as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kamkabel Vladimir Plotnikov, General Director of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC) Andrey Kozitsyn, Chairman of the Political Council of the Union of Right Forces Nikita Belykh, as well as many other well-known people in the world converge at one point business and politics of persons. But first things first………

IN Lately It became almost obvious that the resources and connections of the reputable businessman Vladimir Plotnikov were not enough to combat the numerous claims of law enforcement and control authorities. An influential resident of Perm, owner of factories, ships and basketball clubs, began to rapidly lose ground. This was once again shown by the seizure of documents for Kamkabel OJSC by investigators of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Perm Region on December 25, 2005. Investigative measures were carried out as part of a high-profile criminal case against the management of Kamkabel, which is suspected of tax evasion of at least 22 million rubles. “The Raft,” as many of Plotnikov’s colleagues call him, was already struggling to stay afloat. But suddenly appeared allies helped the entrepreneur not to go down. Moreover, the resulting alliance, according to analysts, is capable of radically changing the political landscape of the Perm region and giving vent to Plotnikov’s long-standing ambitious plans to enter power, thereby “revenging” Governor Oleg Chirkunov for his removal from the March 2006 elections for the post of mayor of Perm

Whatever the governor is, the chamber is crazy

And about. Governor of the Perm region Oleg Chirkunov became a candidate of economic sciences much later than his Tambov colleague, but defended his dissertation on the topic “Problems of enterprise management” long before he headed the region. He defended, it seems, not in vain: observers get the impression that the acting. The governor treats the region entrusted to him as one large enterprise. “From an image point of view, I don’t need a dissertation,” says Chirkunov. - I need her for myself. I defended my Ph.D. thesis in 1991 and I know its value in terms of the labor invested. A bad dissertation, by the way, is bad. I’m reading it now – it’s funny. But I’m proud of it because I made it with my own hands. If I do a doctorate, I will also do it with my own hands. Today, dissertations are needed only for one’s own self-affirmation. The title of academician is now so discredited that it most often causes a grin.”

According to Chirkunov, he was just about to write his doctoral dissertation on taxes, but then he was appointed acting governor, so there was no time left not only for scientific work, but also for writing a new book. The fact is that Chirkunov is known not only as a politician and businessman, but also as a good writer: the book of his stories “Strokes,” published last year, was a great success among Perm residents.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... How close when it comes to the children of governors?

An example of the latter could be the appointment by the Governor of the Perm Territory Oleg Chirkunov of his 23-year-old son, an architect, as an advisor... on business to the Deputy Prime Minister of the regional government. The damage from the fact that the state order for the development of a master plan for Perm was mysteriously received by the Swiss company KSAR, owned by Anton Chirkunov’s scientific advisor at the University of St. Gallen, has already been estimated by the regional Central Internal Affairs Directorate at 3 million euros.

Price of salt

The successful development of federal funds for the construction of a new type of settlement, Usolye-2, was personally supervised by the Governor of the Perm Territory, Oleg Chirkunov, and the Permdorstroy company, which at one time was intimately connected with the ex-chairman of the Perm government, now under investigation, was appointed operator of the development of federal funds. Nikolai Bukhvalov. The results of the construction of the settlement for displaced people are known: at least 2 billion rubles were spent, and out of more than a hundred houses built, an insignificant part is inhabited.

If you want peace, get ready for...

A very familiar situation is emerging. Not so long ago in the Vedomosti newspaper there was an article about how the Semya trading chain (one of the largest retailers in Perm: 26 supermarkets and one hypermarket), one of the founders of which is the governor of the Perm region Oleg Chirkunov, is illegally building a shopping center on the site , owned by the Ministry of Defense. According to Gide Loyrette Nouel lawyer Dmitry Raev, construction could hardly be started without any documents: “It is necessary to collect a lot of papers, ranging from confirmation of rights to the site or its lease and ending with a construction permit and a certificate for putting the building into operation.” . But if construction on the land is prohibited - there is no permission or the land is withdrawn from circulation, any construction is considered unauthorized. “There are often two ways out: either the demolition of the building, or the right of ownership of the building passes to the owner of the land,” concludes Raev.

While the federal authorities, on the basis of documents, considered the land to be theirs, this land plot migrated from federal property to municipal property in the most primitive way: by decree of the head of the city of Perm. The Prosecutor's Office of the Perm Region challenged this order of the mayor through the arbitration court, as violating the Civil Code, Land Code and the Law on Defense. Currently, the arbitration court is considering claims regarding the illegality of the mayor's previous decisions on this issue.

Meanwhile, the Governor of the Perm Territory, Oleg Chirkunov, is trying to force the federal structures operating in the region to turn a blind eye to Russian laws for the sake of his gubernatorial business interests. So far he has not succeeded, but the pressure on federal officials is constantly increasing. The governor is trying to dismiss the head of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate and the regional prosecutor because they refused to come up with a case against the head of the regional department of FAUFI (Rosimushchestvo) Leonid Li, whose management through the court proved the illegality of Oleg Anatolyevich’s property.

Structure of the organization of the “Orange Revolution” in Russia: think tank (Berezovsky), formal leader (Kasyanov), network protest organizations (SKS), shadow figures (Levaev)

A classic example is the Perm region. On February 3, at a youth forum organized by Governor Oleg Chirkunov, a scandal occurred involving Nazi thugs, which was instantly picked up by the pro-Kremlin movement “Nashi” and “United Russia”. Why did the Kremlin need to put such pressure on Chirkunov? Perhaps the reason lies in the fact that the Kama region is one of the few regions of the country where United Russia members are not given the opportunity to individually influence the policies of regional authorities. Another reason is the threat of “privatization” of the region by “oligarchic” structures, which poses a serious danger during the pre-election period. Renova Vekselberg and others are actively expanding their presence in the region, but they have recently been actively showing their loyalty to the Kremlin. Another thing is the unexpected expansion of the odious Israeli businessman Lev Leviev into Perm. During his visit to the region at the end of March and meetings with Oleg Chirkunov, he announced his intention to invest $1.5 billion in development projects in Perm, as well as to locate diamond cutting production at the local Kama-Kristall enterprise.

Who owns the regions?

If we talk about GV from among medium-sized businesses in other regions, it is impossible not to note, for example, the connection between the authorities in Karelia and the general director of Petrozavodskmash and the deputy of the local Legislative Assembly Leonid Beluga,” political strategist Rostislav Turovsky advised Sobesednik.

— There are also cases of governors coming to their posts directly from business. In the Pskov region it is Mikhail Kuznetsov (Pskov flour mill), in Kabardino-Balkaria - Arsen Kanokov (a successful Moscow businessman and owner of republican hotels and factories), in the Amur region - fish industrialist Oleg Kozhemyako, in the Perm region Oleg Chirkunov came from business to power (as and his predecessor Yuri Trutnev). But all this is a separate topic

Who is campaigning against the governor?

Perm Governor Oleg Chirkunov is having a streak of troubles. Following the team of investigators from the Prosecutor General's Office, which opened several cases against regional ministers, auditors from the Ministry of Natural Resources arrived in the region. Observers talk about a conflict between the current governor and the former Minister of Natural Resources Yuri Trutnev, who will head the election list of local United Russia members.

Last weekend, a month-long inspection of a team of investigators from the Prosecutor General's Office, which arrived from Moscow, ended and resumed several criminal cases against officials of the Chirkunov administration (see inset). And yesterday, First Deputy Minister of Natural Resources Anatoly Temkin paid a control visit to the city of Berezniki, where over the weekend there was a soil collapse on the territory of the industrial zone of the Uralkali company. The government commission on the resettlement of victims was headed personally by Trutnev. The minister and the governor assess the situation differently - if Trutnev is for immediate relocation, then the governor believes that the low-rise building will not collapse quickly and there is time, says a source close to Trutnev.

“We have come to the conclusion that killing is ineffective.”

On Saturday in Perm there was a huge scandal, which was witnessed by a correspondent of “MK” - at the round table “Youth and Ideology” with the participation of the Governor of the Perm Territory Oleg Chirkunov, a fascist, a member of the National People’s Party, the Movement against Illegal Immigration and simply Mr. Kirillovich is an ardent admirer of Adolf Hitler. The young man told television cameras that he and his Perm friends had come to the conclusion that killing on ethnic grounds was no longer effective, and therefore they were moving on to legal forms of political struggle.

The building of the Perm exhibition complex is famous for its large-scale forums. So, last year it was there that organizational issues regarding the creation of the Public Chamber were discussed.

This time, at the stands, girls and boys presented programs of the political movements they represent. Most of the people were dressed in T-shirts with the logos of the newborn movement “Young Guard of United Russia”. But what immediately caught your eye was a small group of 8 shaven-headed people in unusual equipment: they were wearing high-platform boots, tight jeans, white shirts and black skinny ties - this is how representatives of the National People's Party dressed.
