Litovchenko Anatoly Grigorievich elections. Anatoly Litovchenko - about childhood, work as the head of the district, the country's food security and Western sanctions. A criminal case has been opened in Russia regarding the deliberate contamination of oil in the Druzhba oil pipeline.

The desired result in the State Duma in the first reading was ensured by the votes of almost all members of the United Russia faction. All opposition parties in the State Duma this time (a rare case) actually demonstrated their opposition and voted against it. But their votes were not enough.

We previously reported that among the State Duma deputies who voted for raising the retirement age was a deputy from the Chelyabinsk region, the son of the former chairman of the regional court, Dmitry Vyatkin. Today we will briefly talk about another such United Russia member, Anatoly Litovchenko.

So, Anatoly Litovchenko, like Vyatkin, is a member of the United Russia party, which, during the last vote in the State Duma on the issue of raising the retirement age, showed that it does not intend to take into account the opinion of the population (that is, voters) when resolving such an important issue.

Litovchenko was born in 1960 in the Kostanay region. He graduated from the Chelyabinsk Institute of Mechanization and Electrification of Agriculture and received the qualification of a mechanical engineer. He worked as a senior engineer, chief engineer in organizations in the Uvelsky district of the Chelyabinsk region. He received the academic degree of Candidate of Technical Sciences and headed the Zlak-Ural enterprise.

In 1996, Litovchenko won the election for head of the Uvelsky district. He won the elections for head of the district 4 more times. Among the district heads, he was perhaps the most authoritative in the region.

His most controversial election victory was his success in the Duma campaign in 2016. He, as a representative of the United Russia party, had to win against Valery Hartung in the Korkinsky district, in which the fair-Russian Gartung always won. And all the ratings in the period before the elections showed that Hartung would win. However, the official election results showed a different result, that Litovchenko won.

Hartung and his supporters found numerous facts of violations of the law on election day. There was an extremely strange situation when, while counting the voting results, the head of the territorial election commission and the head of the Sovetsky district of Chelyabinsk locked themselves in the basement of the Sovetsky district administration. And then they came out with the result the authorities needed.

However, Hartung lost the courts. The commission from the Central Election Commission (CEC) also did not find any gross violations. But the decisions of the courts and the Central Election Commission did not evoke unequivocal support in society. As a result, Hartung entered the State Duma not from a majority constituency, but from the lists of the A Just Russia party. The recent vote on the issue of raising the retirement age once again convincingly showed who really defends the interests of voters and who defends the interests of the authorities. Hartung voted against the government bill. In this situation, it is obvious that Hartung’s authority in the eyes of voters is growing, while Litovchenko, on the contrary, is falling.

Declaration of income Anatoly Litovchenko earned, according to his official declaration for 2017, 4 million 563 thousand rubles. As for his property, he has an apartment, a house and four land plots with an area of ​​more than 11 hectares. The deputy’s wife earned only 144 thousand rubles in a year; she has a share in an apartment and a plot of land.

“I told my friends: if you work poorly, you will go to live in Vakhrushevo”

Anatoly Litovchenko - about laws that haunt us, interbudgetary relations and fellow deputies

State Duma deputy Anatoly Litovchenko is a newcomer to parliament; he previously successfully led the Uvelsky district for many years and was considered a strong business executive. With his election to the Duma, his life changed radically: now he lives most of the time in Moscow, and spends a week a month in the Chelyabinsk region. He spoke in an interview with the website about what tasks the deputy Litovchenko has set for himself, who he considers his teacher in the State Duma, what fundamental issue he is going to resolve with Vladimir Burmatov, what he thinks about his election rival Valery Hartung and what problems worry his voters. .

— Anatoly Grigorievich, what interests you most as a State Duma deputy at the present time?

— My work consists of two parts. Moscow, directly in the State Duma, where I am working on changes in laws - those that haunted me when I worked in the municipal service. And regional - here I meet with voters, receive questions from residents to the legislative branch. There are a number of specific tasks that need to be addressed. I would like to solve at least one problem in every territory and settlement of my district, but one that affects the maximum number of residents and which has not been solved for years. I work in the region for a week, and in Moscow for three. In my opinion, there is not enough time for orders. After all, my district has half a million residents, about 200 settlements.

— You talked about laws that haunt you. What are you talking about?

— 20 years as head of the Uvelsky district take their toll. There is a question about unfair assessment of the work of municipalities by supervisory authorities. We are talking about the 131st federal law, which was adopted in 2003. Today there are 146 all types of powers. And if you evaluate the cost of these powers, then probably half of them are either underfunded or not funded at all.

For example, I come to school or kindergarten, and there is a fine of 150 thousand rubles. The fire inspectorate sees a violation and issues a fine. Yes, there are vital things that need to be done urgently and without fail, but there are violations associated with the fact that requirements change every year. In my 20 years of working in the district, I have moved doors at schools several times. At first it was required that they swing inward, then in the opposite direction. Of course we will do this, but it will take time. There is no money included in the school’s budget, nor in the district, but supervisory authorities are already issuing fines. And you have to pay, there are no options. 150 thousand rubles per institution - the result is a huge amount. The same money could be spent on fulfilling the same instructions - so much would be done!

I think there is an obvious imbalance here. Therefore, when I came to the Duma, my colleague Dmitry Vyatkin and I made changes to the administrative code. Now, if the head of an institution, knowing that he had some problems, turned to local deputies, they considered the issue, but did not find money this year, then there will be no punishment for the head. Although in any case the order will be fulfilled, albeit for the next year. I think we saved millions of budget money that was leaving municipalities.

There is another important question for me. My district is 70% rural. And in almost every locality I visit, I am asked the same question. The forest around the villages is littered with windbreaks, trees are falling and drying up. Nobody cleans the forest. But if local residents take dead wood to heat their houses, they will receive a fine. Having solved this issue, we can solve two problems: firstly, we will clear the forest of dry residues, which affects the fire hazard; secondly, people will have the opportunity to get firewood for free. I immediately took up this topic as soon as I came to the State Duma. I contacted the head of Russian forestry. Got approval. The bill is ready, I call it “On dead wood.” It is due to be submitted to the Duma meeting in December. In addition, I am working on the issue of how to simplify the transition of unclaimed land shares into municipal ownership.

— When you come from Moscow to your rural areas, do you get the feeling that the regions receive too little money, and the capital too much?

“The ideas and plans that the head and deputies have are very difficult to implement due to lack of funds. When I started leading the municipality, it was a donor district. Then, as a result of tax reforms, the budget turned out to be in deficit. As soon as we build a new enterprise and increase our own tax base, our budget legislation immediately removes subsidies from us. The municipality receives nothing from the emergence of new industries.

If someone has enough money, then there is no need to allocate money. If there is not enough, you need help. I agree that Moscow and the Chelyabinsk region should have the same budgetary provision. These are not just my dreams and conversations. State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin, for example, puts the topic of inter-budgetary relations at one of the top places. There is a desire to align inter-budgetary relations. The capital has a special status, the whole world comes there, it should probably have some privileges. But not so much that salaries and pensions are several times higher compared to regional ones. People's lives cannot be very different.

— Has some kind of pool or club of fellow countrymen deputies been formed in the State Duma? Do you help each other?

— Dmitry Vyatkin is my teacher in the State Duma. When I came to parliament, I saw that he is a significant person in terms of lawmaking, I compare all my ideas with him. The Chelyabinsk region was lucky that Vladimir Burmatov headed the environmental committee. First, because the Duma must pass a bill on behalf of the president and on the initiative of our governor, which should change the approaches to calculating emissions from enterprises. I think that Burmatov’s role in this topic will be fundamental in terms of persistence in decision-making. The second issue is animal law.

Burmatov introduced a bill to the State Duma under which flayers would face 5 years in prison

I always ask the heads of territories: how are you going to solve the problem of stray dogs. They gather in flocks near garbage sites and pose a danger to people. The bill solves the problem correctly: it proposes to catch a dog, sterilize it, vaccinate it, and either return it back or leave it in a shelter so that it can live until its last days. Imagine, we have 22 thousand municipalities in our country. Let there be no need to create a shelter in every village. But every settlement needs one. We will have to create 20 thousand shelters where the animal will live until the end of its days. It is still unclear to me where to get the money for this, given that there are not enough funds for the existing powers. Then, for this decision, you need to immediately determine taxes, the cost of this work, and understand the source of financing. If all this is not spelled out immediately, then the law will remain on paper and there will be no solution. Another thing that doesn't suit me is wild animals. I’m tired of giving the example of the village of Oktyabrskoye, where a local resident keeps wolf houses. The neighbors already have some kind of nervous stress - the wolf begins to howl, the dogs also howl in fear. The law will specify a list of wild animals, and there will be species that are prohibited from being kept. But the law will not have retroactive force, and if someone already has a wild animal, the ban will not affect him.

— You had a rather stormy election campaign, you competed with one of the most prominent politicians in the region and won against him. Are you currently communicating with Valery Gartung?

— Valery Karlovich and I had and still have a normal relationship. The Uvelsky district has always been part of the Korkinsky district, where he was a deputy. We have known each other for 20 years. He came to the area and performed. There has always been a business relationship. He went his way, we went ours. I think people evaluate real things - what he did, what I did. I don’t even have any thoughts about harming anyone somewhere. I went through five election campaigns, there were rivals everywhere, and I always believed that good triumphs over evil.

“Your district is not easy; there are a number of really problematic areas. What is happening in Yuzhnouralsk, where two years ago there was a water crisis, when a city of many thousands was left without a source of drinking water supply?

— Working as the head of the Uvelsky district, I set myself the task of gasifying the area and solving the problem with water supply. You can take any village, stop by and ask if there is gas and clean water there. Yuzhnouralsk is not the Uvelsky district. But I have heard complaints about solving this problem. And I set myself the task over the years to help the head of the municipality and residents solve the problem with water supply. Immediately after my election, I went to the Ministry of Construction and asked them to look into the situation together. We hold meetings monthly. This year the water utility installed equipment worth 6 million rubles, and this spring it was no longer what it was two years ago. What was it like before? The enterprise worked, money was withdrawn, but, in my opinion, nothing was done. Because there was no serious demand. A hundred years of equipment - and okay. Now the head of Yuzhnouralsk is working persistently. But, in my opinion, the technology that exists now cannot eliminate all risks. No one guarantees this, because the water source is open, a new hydroelectric power station has been built there. Not a single supervisory authority has given a reason why the water was of poor quality two years ago. Everyone looked and checked, but did not give an answer.

In addition, it is necessary to understand what the design of the bucket through which water is drawn should be. This is the only such facility in our country where there is no running water. This year a competition will be announced, and next year we will conduct a study that will show whether there is enough water from the Sukhorizhskoye water deposit. We will clearly know what we need: to bring water from artesian wells or to build a water purification station. If serious investments are needed, I will look for options for assistance from the federal center. As for Krasnogorsk, the cause of the problems there is the inactivity of the municipal authorities over the past 30 years. The issue regarding Krasnogorsk is easier to resolve than regarding Yuzhnouralsk. We have already found a source of water supply where we can build two wells that will provide water to residents. Work is already underway on the project; if it is ready by spring, the funds will appear this year.

— Are complaints from residents of Chelyabinsk and rural areas different in any way?

- I see such a pattern. Residents of the region are very concerned about the issue of health care. Optimization has taken place, as a result of which hospitals have been reduced, day care beds have been eliminated, and clinics are being merged. I asked this question to the Russian Minister of Health Skvortsova, and she answered not in our favor: mortality is decreasing, a lot is being done, equipment is being bought. But what is not improved in optimization? It is a transport system and a communication system. For example, in Zauralsk the day care department where my grandmother went for IV drips is closing. She is transferred to Yemanzhelinsk. And we need to know that grandma will get to Yemanzhelinsk for free and will not stand in line. Optimization has created discomfort for people, everyone is swearing because they have to go to another hospital, because buses don’t run regularly, they have to sit in line, if they didn’t make it in time, didn’t get treatment, then they went home. Of the 9 municipalities in my district, almost every one has this problem. Officials promise that there will be progress. But I think the reason is the tariffs, which need to be changed. The second issue concerns the transfer of medical facilities from municipal to regional ownership. In the village, the general practitioner's office belongs to the Ministry of Health. There was a hurricane, three slates fell off, and the head cannot take 300 rubles from the budget and repair the roof. It is necessary to change the legislation and give municipalities the opportunity to solve specific problems. Until it reaches the ministry, until it is included in the program...

In Chelyabinsk, the main issue is the flooding of houses in the Leninsky district. It is necessary to reduce the water level in Lake Smolino. It does not reach the critical level, but is higher than normal. There is a solution: three kilometers away there is Lake Kurochkino, which is drying up, there are 5 thousand garden plots, two sanatoriums, and the lake has practically turned into a swamp. 20 years ago a pumping station was built, there is a canal, it would seem, press a button and pump the water. But the station did not work for 20 years. A working map has now been created. The station will be repaired before the New Year, and next year, thanks to the support of Governor Boris Dubrovsky and the head of Chelyabinsk Evgeny Teftelev, we will continue to work there.

— After the recent by-elections to municipal authorities, the question of the advisability of merging municipalities began to be raised more and more often; most often they say that it would be good to unite Rosa, Korkino and the Korkino district...

- I’m not ready to agree with this. Still, in every locality, every person should have a representative of the authorities within walking distance so that they can address the problem. For example, I held a reception in Rose. 80% of the questions are those that can be solved by the efforts of the chapter in one month. The village suffered primarily from the fact that the head of the settlement... In a word, it was not his. The problem is staffing.

Of course, the staff should not be inflated, but priority issues, issuing certificates, etc. must be resolved. If trouble happens, someone from the authorities must come and organize the work. Where, for example, 15 thousand people live, it is inappropriate to clean up the municipality. I would not rush to do this, although now the law proposes to do this in a simplified form. Today, in the Oktyabrsky district, two settlements are being united, but the people there themselves came and asked for this to be done. There are 300 people in one village, and nearby there is a more powerful settlement that has its own income. I welcome the targeted approach, but not everything in a row. It is better to let people change power if they see that they are doing a bad job than to impose a management system that will not improve the situation.

— Kopeisk is also considered a problem area. It took the city almost a year to elect a mayor; How do you evaluate his work?

— I like Vladimir Mozhin’s approaches - he understands everything, delves into everything, sees priorities, knows what needs to be done. But he needs help, it takes time - 2-3 years, and the issues in Kopeisk will be resolved. The fact is that the problems here have not been resolved for decades.

It is planned to introduce a state of emergency in one of the villages of Kopeisk

I was in Vakhrushevo, the village amazed me. Does this even happen? I told my subordinates: if you work poorly, you will go to live in Vakhrushevo. For the last decades, water has been supplied to houses twice a day. And the water is not potable, but technical. This is just a mockery. Whose fault? Only heads of municipalities who worked before. But the problem is not cosmic! Technology allows you to drill wells right where you are standing. At 70 meters there is no water, at 150 meters you will find water. There are only lakes around, which means there is water in the ground. It’s good that the governor made a decision and began to help. Now the head of Kopeisk, Vladimir Mozhin, has sorted it out, and by the end of the year clean water will arrive. But again, it will be served on time. And there are 24 apartment buildings there, and they don’t even have tanks of the required volume to collect sewage.

— How did you manage to adapt to living in two cities? Do you see your family, given the constant moving?

“We got through it easily, the children have grown up, nothing holds us back, my wife is 55 years old.” The State Duma allocated us an apartment. It’s like a hotel, everything is there, right down to forks and spoons. We live there for three weeks, here for a week. We always enjoy flying home and to Moscow. Living conditions are absolutely acceptable.
