After our publication, there was panic in the Gray House.
Lawyers from the Forum Center began to actually have their workplaces searched and their computers and phones checked. Lawyers who know the law and their rights are, to put it mildly, shocked. Some thought about leaving the regional institution.
And the main instigator of all this schematosis, Sergey Alexandrovich Ponomarenko, screamed so loudly and piercingly on the phone to the Minister of Transport Zotin, that the vice-governor’s piercing squeal into the phone caused him to have a slight attack of shell shock.
It is worth noting here that what Ponomarenko entrusted to Zotin cannot be entrusted to anyone at all, because this is a malfeasance. In essence, Ponomarenko is setting up Vereshchagin. After all, according to the distribution of official powers, it is the chairman of the regional government who is responsible for the work of the Ministry of Transport.
And here’s the question: Did Zotin notify Vereshchagin that he was carrying out Ponomarenko’s not entirely legal order? If you haven’t had time, we strongly recommend doing so. Otherwise, Zotin will not prove in any way that he acted on behalf of Sergei Alexandrovich, and not of his own free will with selfish intent. The karma of the Minister of Transport in the regional government, to put it mildly, is not brilliant. Minister Zotin’s predecessor received three years in a general regime colony for carrying out Mr. Lapshin’s instructions. But Lapshin at least had the authority to give Minister of Transport Dimitrov such instructions. And if it weren’t for the “serious illness,” he, too, would have been in prison.
But when Zotin is taken for a soft spot, he will not be able to refer to Ponomarenko’s order. The question immediately follows: why did you carry out the instructions of a person to whom you do not report by position? Is there a written order? Of course, none of this will happen, and Ponomarenko will remain out of sight of the security forces, and Zotin can go as a deputy in the barracks to Dimitrov. So it’s time for the Minister of Transport to write a report to his superiors.
It’s one thing to place the mayor’s son Loginov in a warm and lucrative position on Ponomarenko’s unspoken order, and another thing to give orders that damage the regional budget.
