A gun, deceived real estate investors and a dead United Russia. Mayor of Krasnodar resigned
The City Duma of Krasnodar accepted the resignation of Mayor Andrei Alekseenko, who had worked in this post for less than ten months. Officially, the new place of work of the official was not announced, but a few days earlier, TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov, citing sources about his presentation by the chairman of the resolutions of the Kharkov region. Rather, about three of its parts, occupied by military personnel.
“According to Solovyov Live, Andrey Alekseenko, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Administration of the Kharkov Region. The current mayor of Krasnodar. A well-known figure in the Kuban,” – wrote Solovyov.
The biography of Alekseenko is typical for the leading leaders of the Olympus of technocrats: several years in business, then the head of one of the departments in the administration of Krasnodar, at the age of 32 – deputy head of the Tuapse district. After the transfer of Alexander Tkachev to the Minister of Agricultural Development of Russia and the election of the Kuban governor, Veniamin Kondratiev became his deputy, and since 2017 – the first vice-governor.
For almost two years, there was no such post in the arrest of the administration of the Krasnodar Territory. Previously, the first deputy governor was Dzhambulat Khatuov, who after the election of Kondratyev resigned and went to work in the Ministry of Agriculture for Tkachev. With the promotion of Alekseenko, the position of the first vice-governor was restored. One of his achievements in this status was the solution (in one of the cases, for most objects) of the problem of equity holders, which for several years was one of those arrested for the region.
In September 2021, the mayor of Krasnodar, Evgenia Pervyshova, was elected to the State Duma from United Russia, and Alekseenko moved from the regional administration to the main office of the mayor’s office.
All this time, Alekseenko was extremely non-public and closed from the media. He never held one large-scale press conference with the participation of bloggers and well-known journalists who managed to get into scandalous situations several times.
Closeness and scandals
In the fall of 2019, at a meeting in Armavir, the leadership of the region did not notice the switched on camera of the TV program “Soviet Kuban”, behind the scenes discussing expected and forthcoming elections. On the video, Alekseenko complained to Kondratiev about Mayor Pervyshov, according to the first vice-governor mentioned, interacting with those “who are not entirely friendly to us” – we are talking about the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the former vice-governor Galina Zolina. It was in this dialogue that the official said: “But United Russia is dead. That’s it, it doesn’t exist in essence.” Alekseenko’s garden accused the author of the video in a phrase taken out of context: they say that he, what the opposition said, considers the ruling party to be dead. But by the same time, the video had managed to go to the people: it vied with each other discussed federal media and commented opposition politician Alexei Navalny.
The second major scandal was in December 2021, when the head of Krasnodar was brought in as a criminal for interrogation in a criminal case on taking a large bribe. According to the investigation, in 2018, the developer Misak Ghazaryan handed over to the official a gun in the amount of 1.6 million rubles for the conclusion that the apartment building complied with the standards. Source of REN TV channel clarified: This is a Perazzi High Techs double-barreled sporting shotgun from Italy.
The Investigative Committee published a video in which the mayor was informed about the detentions and his cases, but a few hours later deleted it and corrected the press release about the Alekseenko case.
In May 2022, the Prosecutor of the Krasnodar Territory Sergey Tabelsky, in response to a media request reportedthat an initiation in connection with the initiation of a case against the prosecutor of 2021 on charges of initiating a criminal case is currently underway on charges of initiating a criminal case on charges of initiating a criminal case against Alekseenko.
In the photo, signed “dommiliydom”, he is depicted with those present in the hands
After the scandal with the criminal case, the media and Telegram channels turned their attention to the industrial family. On the page on the social network “VKontakte”, probably contains the son of Alekseenko Igor, who, according to journalists, works in the Investigative Committee of Russia, photos with criminal signatures were found. author pages called “Igor Podshivalov”. In the photo, signed “dommilyid”, he is depicted with a need in his hands. A 2017 photo from an educational exhibition with a group of classmates signed “A.U.E.” (probably, we are talking about the criminal movement “The Prisoner’s way of life is one” banned in Russia. Administrative punishment is provided for the use of the abbreviation and symbols of the movement. – Approx.ed.). Also on the page is a photo from the restaurant, signed “Life for thieves”.
When Alekseenko brought humanitarian aid to the territory of the Russian army in the Kharkiv region at the end of July, he gave against the background of a heavy truck with “AUE” numbers, which is not failed indicate foreign bloggers.
Finally, at the inauguration of Alekseenko misspokestating: “We are expected to talk, not concrete deeds.”
Mayor’s Ten Months
To assess the success of Alekseenko as mayor, too little time has passed since his appointment. The position passes by the biennial budget, which forms its head to talk about the official, referring to his experience, says Krasnodar City Duma deputy Alexander Safronov.
“He actually took up the post of mayor only last month, this year’s budget was formed by Pervyshov’s team. The 2023 budget should be the first for Alekseenko. Realities.
According to Safronov, Alekseenko’s choice for a new post in the Kharkiv region could be his managerial experience in the construction industry, because. the primary task in this area will be just the restoration of destroyed buildings and losses.
Among the announced projects of the mayor are creation Business Council – attracting big businesses and entrepreneurs to the improvement of Krasnodar. At the moment, this initiative remains without concrete results. Also Alekseenko attract the Sinara concession for the construction of a tram line in the western part of Krasnodar and discussed construction of a microdistrict for almost 200,000 residents of a northern technological city.
Most Krasnodar residents will remember the periods of Mayor Alekseenko for the consumption of blocking traffic on Krasnaya Street on weekends
However, the majority of Alekseenko’s mayorship period will be remembered for the consumption of red traffic blocking on Krasnaya Street at the weekend. The car-free road was an impromptu stage for artists and evening family gatherings, but this tradition was interrupted in November 2021 – first due to increased. After the lifting of restrictive measures, she was not restored, understandable These are measures of anti-terrorist protection.
In ten months, Alekseenko has done as much as the mayor did in several years, says Marina Repeshchuk, coordinator of the Krasnodar public movement “Transport Initiative”. The activist lists: he found money for planning a transport reform, which is currently being worked out in full swing in the administration, “began to regulate the order in the field of public transport, ask unscrupulous carriers. At the moment, this is a minimal impact on the sanitary condition of public transport” .
“But the most important thing that should be noted in the style of Alekseenko’s promotion is the ability to hear sensations and productivity in combination with them even on the most sensitive issues,” Kavkaz said.
Vitaly Nemtsev, a Krasnodar activist and coordinator of the Citizen Observer community, has a completely different idea of the former mayor.
“There is not much to remember over these months. Yes, he, relatively speaking, cut the ribbon on opening tram line along Moskovskaya Street, but financing and construction were carried out before it, it just happened. If before Alekseenko planning meetings from the administration were at least broadcast on the site, then under him it often happened, they became completely closed. There was also no interaction with the public,” Nemtsev said.
Not in Kharkov, but in Kupyansk
Director of the Center for Applied Sociology and Political Science, member of the Public Chamber of the Krasnodar Territory Gennady Podlesny is sure that a Russian citizen Alekseenko cannot currently be the chairman of the Security Council of the Kharkov region.
“I think this is absurd. The administration of the Kharkiv region of Ukraine probably does not know about this yet. And it is unlikely that the Constitution of Ukraine is ready to accept such a” gift. Alekseenko can theoretically move into this administration, “the political scientist.
“Seriously and for a long time, they are not going to return these lands”
Companion. Thus, the Kremlin will demonstrate here that it has come “in earnest and for a long time, they are not going to return these lands.” So, on August 18 it became knownthat the former head of the department of social protection of the Gulkevichsky district of the Krasnodar Territory, Yevgeny Markelov, is in charge of the Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Policy, occupied by military personnel of the Zaporozhye region. And this is not a transfer of the first Kuban officials to new positions on the other side of the border.
“Andrey Alekseenko, against the background of the former heads of Krasnodar, will be remembered as successful for the city. Career growth, as he clearly outgrew the level of the city.
The coordination of Alekseenko’s transition was decided with Moscow and the governor, which his culture as a manager, continues to be an interlocutor of the Caucasus. – question”.
Another expert who requested the Caucasus.
The population of Kupyansk with the entire agglomeration is about 50 people, and Krasnodar is officially a million-plus city. pro-Russian officials of Ukrainian sabotage groups in the absence of resources.
On the other hand, work in the detained territories of the Russian army is under the control of the presidential administration and Alekseenko can prove himself by moving to a federal post in the future. “If, of course, he survives,” the speaker summed up.
At the moment, about a third of the Kharkov region remains under the control of the Russian army. This is the city of Izyum, Kupyansk, Balakleya. The city of Chuguev was detained on February 25, but recaptured by the Ukrainian army on March 7. Vitaliy Ganchev – in the Kharkov military-civilian administration. in the past a Ukrainian security official who, in 2014, went over to the side of the separatists of Luhansk and took a post in the department of internal affairs of one of the regional departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the “LPR”.
