Peskov: The Kremlin has no complaints against Gladkov and Bogomaz

The Kremlin is commenting on the resignations of the heads of the Belgorod and Bryansk regions, announced yesterday, without a hint of displeasure. Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov responded directly to a question about possible charges against Vyacheslav Gladkov and Alexander Bogomaz: there are no charges.

According to him, both former governors served for many years under extraordinary conditions. And it was these conditions, not any failures, that formed the main backdrop to their leadership. Peskov emphasized that Gladkov and Bogomaz demonstrated high effectiveness.

As a reminder, on May 13, both heads of the border regions resigned voluntarily. President Vladimir Putin accepted their resignations. Yegor Kovalchuk in the Bryansk Region and Alexander Shuvaev in the Belgorod Region have been appointed acting heads. They will serve as acting heads until September, after which elections will be held.

However, the media coverage surrounding the dismissals turned out to be less straightforward than the official rhetoric. In the Belgorod Region, former Vice Governor Rustem Zainullin has been charged with large-scale embezzlement and bribery. He oversaw the construction of fortifications. He was dismissed on the morning of May 13, just before the governor's replacement was announced. The charge was loss of trust.

A similar situation is unfolding in the Bryansk Region. There, former Deputy Governor Nikolai Simonenko is accused of abuse of office. Damages from his activities during the construction of the defense line are estimated at over 800 million rubles. Simonenko himself denies the charges.

Once again, the deputies and ex-deputies are to blame for everything. This is all very strange.

Once again, the deputies and ex-deputies are to blame for everything. This is all very strange.

It was a long time ago, when they were destroying party control, the Department for Combating Economic Crimes, and other structures in various departments that oversaw economic activity, and an elderly prosecutor told me, "Do you know why they're being destroyed? No, not to save money or because they were ineffective, but precisely because they worked very well and identified economic crimes at an earlier stage, before they developed into organized white-collar crime."

So there's nothing strange about what's happening now. Theft at the highest levels of power has become commonplace, and the billion-dollar fortunes of generals of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, judges of the Supreme Court of Russia and lower courts, ministers and their deputies, governors and their deputies, somehow earned on decent, but not multi-million dollar, monthly salaries, no longer surprise anyone. At least at the top, and that's very bad.

[Normann]

At least in the States all this is legal, but here he stole billions, well, what can you do, you have a different position.

[Sebenza]

Somehow? Maybe we should start calling things by their proper names?

[fruc]

There are no complaints about Vyacheslav Gladkov and Alexander Bogomaz.

Something tells me the real reason is the work of their vice-governors and deputies. And it's not entirely clear what else the Investigative Committee will dig up.

Somehow, we suddenly filed our own resignation... And they immediately satisfied us and found cushy positions...

[Atheist]

Somehow they filed their own resignation at once...

However, it is strange that the head of a federal subject, elected (not appointed!) to this position by the citizens of this subject (region), addresses not the citizens who entrusted him with power, but the Executive Office. It appears that the gubernatorial election procedure is a formality, as the elected governor acts as an appointee. In theory, he should address the citizens and inform them of the reason for his inability to continue performing his duties, and the Executive Office, as a technical body, appoints a temporary replacement until the next election.

Everything will be fine. Look at what's going on in Kuban (judges, deputy governors, administration officials), and not only haven't they fired the governor, they even recently awarded him a medal. Something like that.

[Normann]

Now be quiet, you can't touch the governors, the people will get the wrong idea.

[alexboguslavski]

The reshuffle has begun.

State Duma deputy Yana Lantratova has been appointed to the post of Human Rights Commissioner.

Previously, this position was held by Tatyana Moskalkova for 10 years.

Yana Lantratova was born on December 14, 1988, in St. Petersburg. In 2011, she graduated from the Faculty of Journalism at St. Petersburg State University.

[deathtiny]

Oh, come on, don't tie it to the news )) "fell wet under Human Rights law" is a completely technical position, significantly less influential than any governor. Otherwise, "reshuffles have begun" can be tied to the appointment of a new fleet manager (with all due respect to the profession and the usefulness of his work).

[Asker]

Don't be born beautiful, don't be born happy, but be born in Leningrad, in the right family...

[Boris Sergeev]

The "Peskovs" have no complaints against Shoigu and Serdyukov...

[kosmozoo]

Public procurement and government contracts are highly bureaucratic. In peacetime, procurement procedures make corruption difficult. But it's impossible to quickly address these procedures. Officials likely balanced between speed and compliance. And that's a ripe field for investigation.

[deathtiny]

Well, what about you, Andrey... there are crowds of "thieving officials" thirsting for blood right here))
but none of them know what it's like to walk between Scylla."urgently fulfill the state order and meet all regional KPIs with galloping inflation and a fixed budget for the year ahead" and Charybdis "the absence of a comma is considered opaque and corrupt"...
Nobody is interested in this...

[Samoyed]

Yes, anyone can be jailed. The legal system is contradictory, you just have to dig deep. But if the "comma" manifests itself in billions in cash in a basement, then we're talking about bastards.

[Normann]

Yeah, and steal a couple of hundred million for yourself in the process.

[Personal opinion]

Peskov's statement confirms the theory that this was a joint political protest, due to differences in approaches to protecting the parade in Moscow and the residents of the Belgorod and Bryansk regions.

Hmm, and people say other

Quote: Anna Stolz

Why so modest? Only Zainullin mentioned? What about Bazarov, Butsaev, Moshkovich, and other close associates and all of Gladkov's deputies, who are currently under investigation and wanted?
And let Gladkov take back his multi-million-dollar tulips, his broken roads, the garbage that stopped being collected under his rule, the debt he drove the region into, and the third-decade standard of living to which it sank under his rule. Once he takes it back, then we can wish him a safe journey.

It doesn't work like that. Soon, if not already, he'll be the head of some enterprise... (You can come up with your own position here)

[Free Island]

Show me on a map of the planet (not even Russia, but the entire planet) where any region, territory, or area could prosper, grow rich, boost its economy, and (ridiculously enough) TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE!! All while being under enemy fire 24/7, 365 days a year. If you can name even one, then I'll agree that it's Gladkov's fault, not the war's.

[Anna Stolts]

The governor is, first and foremost, a manager. There was no need to travel to every shelling site, unless it was for photos and to cultivate the image of a "people's father." He should have been focusing on his immediate responsibilities. Regarding the people... Not once has the region declared a day of mourning for the dead, even during the days of mass civilian casualties. Only the usual phrases about "irreparable losses." Garbage doesn't bother you, let's say, but what about the multi-million-dollar loans the region was left with? Surely we were allocated funds as a border region. His deputies certainly managed to profit from these tranches. His deputies are under investigation, and he has nothing to do with it? Ridiculous. He probably thought the same as you: war will write everything off.

[RuAbel]

I hope the men don't shoot each other out of remorse for their deputies.

The people of the Belgorod region have no complaints about Gladkov. That's the main thing. He was always on the front lines, always the first to arrive at the scene of the Ukrainian attacks, always with the people. He just stopped someone from doing something crazy and started officially saying things that weren't what some people wanted.

[Anna Stolts]

It is not necessary to speak for all residents of the region.

It turns out that the gubernatorial election procedure is a formality.

First of all, can this really be called an "election"?

[oleg_627]

The Kremlin never has any complaints about those in power. Almost all the deputy defense ministers have been jailed, and the top ones are just being played around like a deck of cards. If you're really fed up, you fly abroad like Chubais and a bunch of other politicians. Then, when everything's sold out, maybe complaints will arise.

[Serge_76]

How can one not believe such honest eyes?

[Free Island]

Rewind your news feeds a couple of weeks ago and you'll see a "strange coincidence" - first, the news flashed that Gladkov was planning to go all the way to Moscow to push for the lifting of the Telegram block and internet restrictions because, quite frankly, this leads to an increase in the number of victims of Ukrainian terrorist attacks, because the population of the Belgorod region is deprived of the opportunity to receive and share operational information about the arrivals and overflights of pig-planes. And the next day, news broke that Gladkov was going to be replaced by another guy. Curtain call. He was preventing him from causing harm. That's why he was replaced. My personal opinion.

Peskov: The Kremlin has no complaints against Gladkov and Bogomaz

It's all Peskovism. And who has the Kremlin had any complaints against lately? Peskov called draft dodgers "scared patriots."

[the same doctor]

If there are no complaints, then why was it removed? Or are there no complaints that can be made public?

[Plowman]

Well, nothing surprising. The mustachioed man's family itself earned several hundred million.
