The head of Roscosmos asked "quietly" to resign

The management of the Russian Space Systems (Russian Space Systems) invites Vladimir Popovkin, who heads Roskosmos, to leave his post. Such a proposal, contained in an open letter, was posted on the company's website. Soon the letter was removed from the site, and the press service posted an ad that says that an open letter addressed to the head of Roscosmos, VA Popovkin, was published on the site by mistake. In fact, this letter was intended for posting on the Corporation’s internal site.

The message, which was in the public domain, was signed by First Deputy Director General of the RCC, Honored Lawyer of Russia Ivan Golub. So, he wrote that after Vladimir Popovkin came into the rocket and space industry, events began to occur, "which can neither be understood nor accepted."

The letter emphasizes that Popovkin, being the leader of a high rank, can do with absolute impunity what previously seemed to everyone unthinkable. Golub offers the head of Roscosmos "quietly" to resign. At the end of the open letter, the deputy director of the RCC mentioned an incident involving a lot of noise involving the head of Roskosmos, which occurred in early March. In the message, Golub also wrote that he was shocked by the message about a drunken brawl in which Popovkin was involved.

Representatives of Roskosmos refute all rumors about a fight with the personal involvement of the head of the department. They are convinced that all the attacks of the RKS leadership on the head of Roscosmos are connected with the interview that Popovkin recently gave to the newspaper Izvestia. In it, he accused the RCS of embezzling funds that were allocated to the Russian GLONASS navigation system.

Popovkin then stated that during the audit, which was conducted by Roskosmos against the RKS company, it was established that a significant part of the funds allocated under the GLONASS program went through ZAO NPO KP, which had neither production, nor technical capabilities, nor a regime department . There are a lot of questions. And last year, when the Accounts Chamber was in charge of checking this structure, the auditors noticed that the funds were spent inefficiently.

- The first one went

[domokl]

Yes, he didn’t go anywhere .. Such people do not leave of their own accord .. They leave .. A letter by mistake is a completely hackneyed childish reception ...

[freedom]

Why should you quietly leave, or take away! ?? Here are all the signs of corruption, aggravated hooliganism, mediocrity. The authorities said "A", having adopted a new anti-corruption law, and if this government wants the people's trust and support, it is simply necessary to say "B", otherwise the "swamp" will overwhelm the country in a couple of years!

[in4ser]

This inauguration has not come yet
Everything in the style of Vladimir Putin is not surprising

[Sergh]

Well, there are few such press secretaries from earlier top models for Roscosmos, you have to surpass the Minister of Defense, who also got some women, and handed out posts to the deputy. Minister.

What can I say, a normal spokesman for Roscosmos, why are we worse than Nicolas Sarkozy?

[viktor_ui]

Sergh - Sarkozy’s chick is obviously cooler ... nah, Popovkin’s obviously not looking at the final forms - however, he doesn’t finish it anywhere - he’s a heavy state burden, hehe

[Sergh]

viktor_uiBut what, Popovkin, at the expense of Roscosmos, will feed her a little, make a little plastic, comb it, reduce it to fashion designers, it would be nice to add silicone, and you’ll look at the head of Roscosmos!
To conclude transactions, it will be possible to shove it forward. I assure you that all contracts will be ours, right up to super-shuttles.

[viktor_ui]

Sergh is a cool silicone strategy. For her -

Therefore, all military and space programs should be supervised by the FSB and the Moscow Region with fierce control! Otherwise, the seams!
Korolev was right.

YARY,

What actually happened from the very birth of the space industry in the USSR.

[domokl]

They are supervised .. Only Korolev himself was not in the state either in the KGB or in the Defense Ministry ... So the current scientists are civil

[VAF]

Good news in the truest sense of the word !!!

But it is necessary that, like in our aviation, the main unit is a pair, therefore, we need a pair of Popovkina as a deputy and Taburetkina as a leader, but what kind of "shame" is this - the leader lost the follower ???

[Dimitrxnumx]

The space industry is one of the most important industries in the country. It should be headed by Professionals with a capital letter, who know all the subtleties well! Of course, we won’t find the second Queen now, but it’s a crime to leave the post when the missiles with satellites fall more than take off. For a long time it was necessary to raise the question of the appropriateness of the post held by Popovkin.

[fern]

I completely agree . I believe that this should be occupied by a scientist, a specialist with many years of experience (+ honest and balanced), and not a drunken rowdy

[Roman A]

Judging by the photo, the hands are not knuckled; the subtle fight was on the slaps or on the bath brooms (Ilf and Petrov), which means that ambitions began to play

So Popovkin has only recently been appointed to this position. Just to restore order there, dear Dmitry. It's not so simple ... Perhaps Popovkin actually affected someone's selfish interests. It’s necessary to understand. And about the fight, if it was of course ...
1. Could specially provoke.
2. If not drifted, then man. Although of course the status does not allow ... It is necessary to behave intelligently.

[valeri51d]

Popovkin is our man and acted like a real officer. Keep it up!

[Gray-haired]

Those. he had to go to the hospital with those who rolled him ..

[domokl]

If we put a scientist to lead such a whopper, then we will lose both a scientist and a leader ... Beria did not understand anything in all of these missiles, atoms and other things, but he taxied ... And he taxied as God forbid everyone ...

[755962]

Of course, there is no need to make a lamb from Lavrenty Pavlovich. The supreme authority of any state is not the place where the saints gather. He was a politician of his time.

Quote: domokl

.Beria did not understand anything at all in all these missiles, atoms and other things, but taxied.

Igor Kurchatov: If it weren’t for Beria, there wouldn’t be a bomb

[rolik]

I agree with domokl. Lavrenty Pavlovich was the most successful, as a manager would say now, and that he acted tough. So after all the times were. But the country was raised from the ruins in such a time frame and at such a pace that other states, which are considered to be a "new economic miracle," never dreamed of. And as a fact, all the great achievements of the Union, which during the times of the great perestroika were usually erased and forgotten.

[old rocket man]

domokl,
755962,
rolik,
I agree completely and I want to add that in my entire life I have not met a single large and successful leader who was not tough (examples of Afanasyev, Glushko, Yangel, Kuchma, Titov)

[Gray-haired]

Do not forget about the "intelligence" and philanthropy of SP Korolev himself, his famous shouts in case of failure to complete the work on time: Pass the admission!
Well it's almost fatherly ..

Here is a letter

[Passing]

I until the last moment belonged to V.A. Popovkin is extremely negative, but after reading the complaint from Roskosmos, I’m really at a loss.
What I see is that bureaucrats from Roscosmos are screaming that they are being checked bypassing the regulations, such as "an illegal search, without a prosecutor's approval," such as introduced "oprichnina", save our fat carcasses from arbitrariness. And why are they so scared? What are their dark deeds for the ear, but in the sun?
Is it really that I was mistaken in Vladimir Alexandrovich, and is he really an honest and principled statesman? Well, see, see.
As for the fight in drinking, because of the woman, here I am on the side of Vladimir Alexandrovich, I respect, and the bureaucratic etiquette somehow excites me a little. And in general, even if drunken fights take place every day, the main thing is that things are done in the interests of Russia, and not in the interests of bureaucrats pockets.

[Olegovich]

Yes, they complain that he cut the salaries of the general directors in half !!! And do not hesitate! And they are not afraid. Obviously, the salaries are obscenely large. If they want on "garlic", what would their people support - let them write in an open letter how much it was, how much it became in rubles!
And the periods 2005 - 2008 are the most "washed-out" years. At that time, there were no tenders and no declarations were submitted.

It’s not possible to go through these three steps in four years and leave for the academy at the training ground. The further track record speaks for itself. I would not have sat down with this Popovkin on the same field

[viktor_ui]

the old rocket launcher - I completely agree that Popovkin was an extremely muddy figure and this ass hanging over Roscosmos had long had to be sent for free swimming with a savory kick with all the attached lascivious retinue.
Recently, there has been some certainty that rats at the top will significantly decrease ...
PS There is enough chaos in Roskosmos, but the "fist fighter and the Casanova" -Popovkin is the coffin LID for this office.

[ward]

something from the whole story ... it cheats ... he stole the roofing felts, the roofing felts were stolen from him ... but the residue remained ... just like in a kindergarten ... Mary Ivanovna and Vovka shows stupidity ...

[rolik]

And now let's see why all the fuss.

On the morning of March 7, 2012, Vladimir Popovkin was placed in the neurosurgical department of the Burdenko hospital in a moderate state.
According to doctors, Popovkin had lacerations up to seven centimeters in the parietal and temporal parts of the head, as well as a concussion [5]. In the wounds of Popovkin’s head, several glass fragments were found, which were removed under anesthesia. He was also intoxicated, emanating a tangible smell of alcohol. He was noticed serious coordination of movements. Popovkin himself refused to state the reasons why he received head wounds.
According to an official statement from the representative of the press service of Roscosmos to RIA Novosti, the reason for hospitalization was:
... prolonged physical and emotional stress caused, inter alia, by frequent business trips with changing time zones and disrupting the usual rhythm of work, preparing and conducting a number of events ...
According to various media reports, the Popovkin incident occurred the day before, on the evening of March 6, in one of the Roscosmos VIP rooms, where employees celebrated International Women's Day. Popovkin was injured during a fight when he was hit on the head with a glass bottle. As unnamed sources from Roscosmos told the media, the quarrel between the agency’s colleagues was due to Popovkin’s personal press secretary Anna Vedishcheva [9], who has been working in Roscosmos since May 2011, and before that was known as the top model].
This whole situation completely falls under the expression of folklore:
- X ... J stands, the head does not cook.
Now it’s clear why b .... satellites and rockets are falling. Because Musya Popovkin is not at all up to space. Monsieur Popovkin had a sudden adultery.
I would like to assure pessimists and whiners that Russian cosmonautics will soon reach a fundamentally new level. Ahead of Roskosmos and its head are dizzying flights and awesome docks. It is understandable. The docking station is simply magnificent. These are astronauts stuck in orbit for six months, from bezbabi everything is done in manual mode. Even the space truck "Progress" is docked manually. Fortunately, automation gives a reason for this.

And the leadership of the Russian Space Agency with such secretaries docking goes in automatic mode and without failures, in contrast to workers from orbit.

[Olegovich]

And then there are problems with the equipment, if it was appointed only on April 29, 2011 ?? In any case, the jambs of previous years will come out for a very long time.

[vezunchik]

Centuries, governments, economic foundations are changing - but the quintess remains. And he needs to leave himself - however, he will cling to power. Do you remember the case of the Attorney General? He wanted to be president.

[Sniper 1968]

Defense Minister Stulov-resigned!

[boris.radevitch]

For a long time it is necessary to remove all Popovkin and other scandolists and put
of the pre-Russian people!

[wk]

if the management of RKS OJSC shouted "stop the thief" at an opportunity, it means that they have a stigma in the cannon, and Popovkin's "quiet" leaving will allow them to hide the ends in the water .... well, they will put a new spotless comrade - by the way, Popovkin was imagined that and again dark deeds will be done behind his back. In the system, both "RK" and JSC "RKS" must undergo a personnel purge, and it is generally not clear that there are TWO PARALLEL structures that put sticks in each other's wheels. All space programs should be headed by the military, and the FSB should be responsible for their revision - a specially created urgent and necessarily rotated in a planned manner, which received the approval of the Legislative Assembly and approved by the President.

[VadimSt]

The squabbles of high officials are increasingly reminiscent of drunken showdowns of bums - "And you ..., yes I ..., but you all went to ...".
It seems that the ministries and departments completely lack the concept of service discipline and corporate culture. The ranks of a higher flight, at this time clear their ears and bury their eyes!
Ostrich "disease" swept over the top of power! This was evident in her reaction to Makarov's statements, etc.
Let's wait, how will D. Rogozin react to the next performance "Behind the Glass"!

[kagorta]

Under Urlichich, the general designer of Glonass dug up, so he began to defend himself. And he was also considered as a possible candidate for the post of head of Roskosmos. Here Popovkin began to clean out competitors after the victory. And competitors do not give up. Just competitors and directly subordinate to Popovkin and not, and this is even a gesture of despair. And by the way, Urlichich took the former head of Roscosmos Perminov as his deputy. And most importantly, notice that DGC is an OJSC - a commercial structure, where the main thing is to make a profit, which is not very influenced by state interests, since this is a private structure and such letters are possible on this. And what would Popovkin dismiss Urlichich this still a meeting of shareholders must be collected, or the board of directors.

[Kyrgyz]

can put the press secretary to the post of head of the Russian Space Agency? cool

[sergo0000]

There are two blondes: -
Count my sister
clown glasses ... she changed clothes
a man and went to serve in
army ... - But she will have to
going to the bathhouse with men.
Someone will surely surrender!
- But who will hand over something ?!

[Edge_kmv]

Correctly! The same sense, but it’s more pleasant to watch

[sergo0000]

Edge_kmv,
Done! Super-model drives away! Generals rest!

[SAVA555.IVANOV]
