Foreign agents. The head of Udmurtia saw a conspiracy in the strike of doctors
President of Udmurtia, Alexander Volkov, lashed out at Izhevsk doctors, whose “Italian strike” attracted the attention of the Russian Ministry of Health. According to Volkov, the FSB must find out who is behind the women, in whose actions the official saw the machinations of the enemies of the Russian statehood.
Izhevsk doctors began an “Italian strike in early April. They wanted to demonstrate to officials the impossibility of working according to the rules and regulations introduced in January 2013. Doctors supported profile trade union. Doctors spent their share for three weeks, all this time they went to work and fulfilled their duties according to official instructions. But an adequate response from the government of Udmurtia was never received. On the contrary, they were subjected to administrative pressure from officials. From 18 to 22, April, three Izhevsk children's doctors, in desperation, went to extreme measures - they declared a hunger strike.
After that, they were already heard by the federal authorities, the women were invited to Moscow to meet with federal officials and received unexpected support from the Ministry of Health. The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation has begun to correct the situation. After promising to deal with all controversial issues, the doctors agreed to stop the hunger strike.

In Izhevsk, the first results of the strike are already visible. In one of the city’s hospitals, for example, the head physician met one of the demands of the trade union. At the same time, inspections initiated by the Ministry of Health of Russia revealed a large number of violations, which federal authorities obliged the authorities of Udmurtia to eliminate before May 1.

According to the striking doctors, the support of the authoritative medical public activist Leonid Roshal and the officials of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation turned out to be important. This inspires Izhevsk doctors certain confidence that in the future they will not be subject to sanctions at work.
It would seem that the doctors have achieved results, and the issue has been practically resolved, even at the federal level. However, a new round of conflict followed after the sensational speech of the President of Udmurtia.

According to Volkov, the salary of health workers from 1 January 2013, the year has grown, and the issue is inflated completely from scratch. The President believes that activist doctors should deal with the FSB and understand "who is behind them." The President of Udmurtia was not even afraid to assume that foreign money was involved, which was allocated to destabilize the situation in the country.
The public, of course, was skeptical about such a response. According to the majority, the president brushes aside the issue, dumping responsibility on non-existent and incomprehensible finances from abroad. However, Volkov’s annoyance is quite understandable: regional budgets have to level the social consequences of the health care reform carried out by the federal center. In which it is likely that there will not be enough money.

According to their data, the head of the region instructed to consider all the comments of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation concerning the payroll violations of health workers who caused protests in Izhevsk.
