Office of the Prosecutor General's Office for the Ural Federal District. The Prosecutor General believes that the fight against corruption in the Ural Federal District is a C grade. The Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Urals Federal District was left without money and equipment

Yuri Ponomarev has something to think about - the Internet resources of the Investigative Committee and even the police are much more interesting and meaningful.

The Center for Free Journalism analyzed the websites of the prosecutor's offices of the Ural Federal District. The results are deplorable: regional prosecutors' offices do not have a uniform website template, the content of prosecutorial resources is meager, and updates are irregular. You can’t even find contacts there - there are no phone numbers, no email addresses, in a word, no transparency.

The most “empty” website is that of the General Prosecutor’s Office in the Urals Federal District: not a single telephone number is listed, there are no results of checks carried out in the prosecutor’s office itself, there is no information about placing orders for the supply of goods and services, although, for example, regional prosecutor’s offices have it. Also, on the website of the Prosecutor General’s Office in the Urals Federal District there is no announcement of events, and Yuri Ponomarev’s subordinates completely forgot about interaction with public organizations and the version of the website for the visually impaired - neither one nor the other on the website
http://genprok-urfo.ru/ no. We also did not find information about the income of officials. This information is not available on the websites of the prosecutor’s offices of the Chelyabinsk and Tyumen regions and the prosecutor’s office of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. What kind of fight against corruption can we talk about if this information is not posted for public viewing? But at the same time, on the website of the main supervisory district department there is a banner for going to an account on YouTube.com, where the departmental program “On Guard of the Law” is posted. This program also raises many questions: is it an officially registered media outlet, what funds and from what source are spent on its production?

In terms of working with the press, the website of the KhMAO Prosecutor’s Office looks the best in the Ural Federal District: the website has a photo of senior media assistant Inga Snatkina. Not a single prosecutor's office of the Ural Federal District has published photographs of their press secretaries, although their position is public and, it would seem, the more popular their press attaché is, the closer the department is to journalists, the better the interaction is built. However, on the website of the same Prosecutor General’s Office in the Urals Federal District there is no section “For the media” at all, and there is also no information about Yuri Ponomarev’s assistants for working with the press and public organizations indicating contact information. One can only guess whether this work is not being carried out at all, or whether the prosecutors from the district prosecutor’s office do not want to “shine the light” on this activity. Although the main page of the Prosecutor General's Office in the Urals Federal District is full of news. This means that one of the prosecutor’s employees still writes these articles and posts them on the website. This is usually what the press service does, but it is not possible to find them through the department’s website.

The Center for Free Journalism also assessed the content of the websites of the prosecutor's offices of the Ural Federal District on a 10-point scale. Below is a table with the number of points scored from 1 to 10. If the section is missing at all, then we put “0”. The website of the Chelyabinsk Regional Prosecutor's Office is the best filled, and the website of the General Prosecutor's Office in the Urals Federal District is the worst.

1. Prosecutor's Office of the Chelyabinsk Region – 115
2. Prosecutor's Office of the Tyumen Region - 111
3. Prosecutor's Office of the Kurgan Region – 89
4. Prosecutor's Office of the Sverdlovsk Region – 83
5. Prosecutor's Office of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug - 74
6. Prosecutor's office of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - 73
7. Prosecutor General's Office in the Urals Federal District – 47

The Center for Free Journalism checked the content of the websites of supervisory agencies taking into account the requirements of the Federal Law of 02/09/2009. No. 8-FZ (as amended on 03/09/2016) “On ensuring access to information on the activities of state bodies and local governments” and Order of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation dated 05/31/2011. No. 153 “On the organization of work to ensure access to information about the activities of bodies and institutions of the prosecutor’s office of the Russian Federation (as amended on May 16, 2014).

In conclusion, we note that the departmental websites of the police and the Investigative Committee are structured much better than the prosecutor’s: the police and the Investigative Committee have uniform templates for Internet resources, there are contact details for the media, and in terms of occupancy they are ahead of the prosecutor’s. In such uniformity of the websites of the police and the Investigative Committee, a good organization of work can be seen and a single agency is seen: both at the federal and regional levels.

The FSB intervened in the reform of municipal waste in the Sverdlovsk region. Regulators and municipalities will be checked for inflated tariffs

FSB operatives took charge of the validity of tariffs in the area of ​​MSW management. According to the publication's interlocutors, a thorough study of the documentation that formed the basis of the rates has already begun in the Middle Urals. The result of such close attention will be questions for representatives of all parties involved in the process, including those entailing criminal legal consequences, experts are sure. Specific names have not yet been named, but there is reason to believe that representatives of municipalities, regional operators, and RECs will be interviewed - to one degree or another, these structures influenced the formation of the final tariff, which from the very beginning has been called unreasonable and inflated. Against this background, the position of the Prosecutor General’s Office is noteworthy: Deputy Prosecutor General for the Urals Federal District Yuri Gulyagin is leading his offensive against violators, holding a series of meetings on this topic in the federal subjects included in the Urals Federal District, and as a result a large event is expected in Yekaterinburg with the participation of Yuri Chaika. A number of officials and businessmen already have warnings from the supervisory department, however, they will still receive a final assessment, including in the criminal aspect, when the control and supervisory departments, together with the intelligence services, sum up the results of inspections with the formation of appropriate conclusions about the guilt of certain persons in specific cases. violations - meanwhile, we can talk about additions worth hundreds of millions of rubles.

The Sverdlovsk OFAS and the Prosecutor General's Office demanded reports on tariffs from MSW regenerators. ONF announced an increase in complaints from the population

The municipal solid waste (MSW) management system emerging in the Sverdlovsk region has become a source of permanent tension. Market participants responsible for the transition to new waste collection rules are faced with a large number of undeveloped operating conditions. A number of issues cannot be resolved without additional measures from supervisory agencies. The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation and the FAS Directorate have already joined the transition process in the Middle Urals. Supervisors, having checked the activities of waste transport operators, identified numerous shortcomings, which served as the basis for statements about the opacity of setting tariffs for waste transportation. At the same time, representatives of the prosecutor's office also had questions about the regional energy commission, which approved regulatory indicators in case of significant inconsistencies in the payment system. Against the backdrop of problems in the implementation of the project to form a new procedure for the management of solid waste in the region, social tension remains, which officials and social activists are currently trying to resolve manually. The government and the Regional Energy Commission are taking measures to reduce the payment burden, and the Rifey company, the regional operator of the northern cluster, is explaining the mechanism for the formation of transport costs.

The Sverdlovsk region will lose 19 billion. Municipal officials are undermining the regional rating

Residents of the Sverdlovsk region criticized the quality of work in houses built and renovated under government programs. The federal budget allocated 26 billion rubles to the region for the implementation of these projects, but the presence of significant defects was confirmed by experts from the Housing and Communal Services Reform Fund. And now the federal inspection will send the final resolution to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the All-Russian Popular Front, the Sverdlovsk governor and the regional operator. Experts do not rule out prosecutorial response measures, although representatives of federal industry structures believe that “the lack of performance and incompetence of municipal officials jeopardizes the local budget, which expects fines due to the mistakes of specific officials.” Moreover, experts from among federal political scientists point out that “the low performance of the multi-billion dollar program and the failures of local managers will not add to the ratings of the authorities of the entire region.”

The Prosecutor General's Office canceled the criminal case against the mayor of Nefteyugansk

The department promised to comment on the information officially

The criminal case against the mayor of Nefteyugansk, initiated under the articles “Exceeding official powers” ​​and “Falsification of documents”, was discontinued.

Officials are demanding the demolition of apartments near the Tobolsk Kremlin. The government and the Prosecutor General's Office intervened in the conflict

In the Tyumen region, a conflict is actively developing around a long-term construction project located near the Tobolsk Kremlin. Officials of the regional Construction Department are insisting in court on the demolition of the already erected floors of a residential building, which they cannot put into operation for several years. This decision is opposed by the developer, who is already under external management, and by shareholders who are afraid of losing the apartments due to them. The conflict situation resulted in large-scale trials and a criminal case into the theft of tens of millions of rubles from shareholders by the management of a construction company. The government of the Tyumen region was forced to intervene in the confrontation, which is currently developing a plan for completing the problematic facility and is looking for a replacement for the developer, who left more than 60 people homeless.

The Prosecutor General's Office threatens Sverdlovsk officials with criminal cases

A large-scale audit has begun in Sverdlovsk municipalities - the prosecutor's office is monitoring all construction projects where budget money is involved. The corresponding instruction to the prosecutor of the Sverdlovsk region Sergei Okhlopkov was given by the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yuri Ponomarev. According to the latter, it is the Sverdlovsk municipalities that are characterized by extreme “laxness” - funds from the regional and municipal budgets have been allocated for many objects, but work is not being carried out, and local heads do not control the process. Thus, in Kamensk-Uralsky, the delivery of an indoor ice skating rink has been delayed for a year, in the Shalinsky urban district they have not been able to open three kindergartens at once for two years, and in Yekaterinburg, a facility for the 2018 World Cup is being demolished - an underground parking lot on the street. Tatishcheva. Yuri Ponomarev, in harsh terms, demanded the initiation of criminal cases “where they steal.”

Environmentalists called Slavneft a victim of Rosprirodnadzor

The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation will consider further claims against the activities of Rosprirodnadzor of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra. Environmentalists of the autonomy complained about the excessively close attention of the supervisory authority to the activities of OJSC Slavneft-Megionneftegaz (SN-MNG). The regional public organization “Ecological Safety of Ugra” saw lobbying of private interests in the extraordinary inspection of the subsoil user conducted by the controlling structure. Rosprirodnadzor counters the claims, arguing that the inspection is carried out by order of the federal leadership of the agency, and the performers themselves conduct it as objectively as possible. Meanwhile, the mining company insists that only competent authorities can assess the legality of supervisory measures.

The Prosecutor General's Office will follow the path of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the "Technopark of High Technologies"

Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yuri Ponomarev is involved in the corruption scandal at the Autonomous Institution "Technopark of High Technologies" in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, related to the activities of the director. In an appeal to the head of the supervisory agency in the Urals Federal District, which coincided with the high-profile dismissal of the head of the institution, Yuri Reutov, one of the State Duma deputies points to the unreasonable spending of budget funds on projects implemented within the technopark. As the publication’s sources note, after a series of conflicts with the manager and cases of his “inappropriate behavior,” regional authorities chose not to renew the contract with the “representative of the scientific community” and a possible defendant in a promising criminal case. Meanwhile, the publication’s interlocutors indicate that Reutov’s “rich background with a near-corruption tint” from the time of his rector at Ugra State University, multiplied by management experience in a technology park, will not allow the figure to get away with it. At the same time, assessing the actions of the former director of the autonomous institution, insiders in the investigative authorities note that Reutov signed his own “death warrant” with his own hands. The official was dismissed at the request of the governor of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug immediately after the government audit, but chose to take an aggressive position.

Auditors lead the Investigative Committee to the “Titanium Valley”

The Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Urals Federal District was left without money and equipment

The Ministry of Emergency Situations will soon have to undergo a number of checks from law enforcement agencies due to a letter from social activists accusing the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Vladimir Puchkov, of the collapse of the department. The list of complaints sent to the FSB, the Investigative Committee, the Prosecutor General's Office and the presidential administration includes a number of management decisions that, according to the authors, lead to a decrease in the performance of the ministry and its regional divisions. The list includes both financial “holes” and the purchase of equipment that does not meet climatic conditions - some of this equipment went to units in the Ural Federal District. These facts are confirmed by official representatives of the headquarters, but with the caveat that equipment unsuitable for winter operation is in demand only during the warm period.

Deputy Prosecutor General Ponomarev left for Moscow with a promotion

Ural prosecutor appointed acting first deputy of Chaika

Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation in the Urals Federal District Yuri Ponomarev appointed as acting first deputy head of the supervisory agency. At the same time, the Ural department notes that after returning Alexandra Buksman holding this position, Ponomarev will return to Yekaterinburg.

According to Kommersant's information, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation is preparing a personnel reshuffle, during which the deputy heads of the supervisory agency for the Ural and Central Federal Districts, Yuri Ponomarev and Vladimir Malinovsky, will change places. The Prosecutor General's Office does not comment on this information. Kommersant's sources suggest that this will be announced on September 15 - during the visit of Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika to Yekaterinburg.

As Kommersant’s interlocutor in the federal law enforcement agencies told, Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation in the Ural Federal District (Ural Federal District) Yuri Ponomarev may take a similar position in the Central Federal District (CFD). “It is planned that in addition to the management of the supervisory agency in the Central Federal District, he will oversee personnel issues in the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation,” the interlocutor explained, noting that for him the rotation is actually an increase. It is expected that the appointment will become known in mid-September, when Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika arrives in Yekaterinburg to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Ural State Law University (formerly Sverdlovsk Law Institute). Mr. Ponomarev’s place, according to Kommersant’s sources, should be taken by the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation for the Central Federal District, Vladimir Malinovsky. The Office of the Prosecutor General in the Urals Federal District did not officially comment on this information. At the time of preparation of the material, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation did not respond to Kommersant’s request.

Yuri Ponomarev born in 1962 in Saratov, graduated from the Saratov Law Institute in 1986. He was sent to work as a prosecutor in the Chelyabinsk region. In 2001 he was appointed acting. O. head of the Grozny prosecutor's office, and in November 2002 transferred to the position of acting. O. Prosecutor of the Chechen Republic. For his service in Chechnya he was awarded a pistol and given the title of honorary employee of the prosecutor's office. In December 2002, he was appointed to the position of deputy prosecutor of the Samara region. In 2007, he became the prosecutor of the Sverdlovsk region, and in 2011 - deputy prosecutor general of the Russian Federation in the Urals Federal District. He has the title of State Counselor of Justice of the first class.

Vladimir Malinovsky born in 1952 in Ryazan. In 1976 he graduated from the Voronezh Order of Lenin State University named after the Lenin Komsomol, after which he entered the service of the prosecutor's office of the Astrakhan region. Since 1989, he worked as the first deputy prosecutor of the Khabarovsk Territory, in 2001 he became the prosecutor of the Jewish Autonomous Region, and a year later he headed the prosecutor's office of the Khabarovsk Territory. Since 2006, he was appointed Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation for the Central Federal District. He has the title of State Counselor of Justice of the first class.

Information about the possible departure of Yuri Ponomarev has been appearing for a long time. In February 2016, he was temporarily appointed First Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation - for the period of Alexander Buksman's vacation. It was then assumed that he would be transferred to the central office. But in the end this did not happen. The question of his departure from the Urals Federal District was raised again in February last year, when, by order of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, Yuri Chaika, he was appointed part-time curator of the Prosecutor General’s Office in the Southern Federal District (SFD). Among the advantages of Mr. Ponomarev, the interlocutors named integrity and experience in working in hot spots.

Igor Lesovskikh, Ekaterinburg

The long-time dream of Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation in the Ural Federal District Yuri Ponomarev has come true: he is finally going to serve in Moscow. Many residents of the Urals shared this joy with Ponomarev - let the capital now suffer with him. After all, the reputational trail that follows Yuri Ponomarev is stained by a number of dubious (if not ordered) cases.

Yuri Ponomarev’s new position sounds like this: Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation in the Central Federal District. Ponomarev walked towards this appointment for many years, starting his career in the “nuclear” Ozyorsk, Chelyabinsk region. This is a closed city, with a tightly knit leadership and power elite, which also has connections with the authoritative world of the Southern Urals.

There, according to informed sources, Ponomarev came under the influence of Ozersk security officers who had connections with one of the leaders of the Kalinin family - Chelyabinsk City Duma deputy Vitaly Pavlovich Rylskikh (we recall that the Chelyabinsk oligarch Alexander Aristov, owner of CHEMK, is also considered the leader of the Kalinin family). Most likely, Ponomarev was brought “up to date” by the Deputy Head of the FSB Directorate for the Chelyabinsk Region, Alexander Nikolaevich Ryabchenko.

Considering such a start to a career, few in the South Ural elite were surprised that some criminal cases were investigated very zealously, while for some reason the expensive ones “slipped.” The highlight of Ponomarev’s career as deputy prosecutor general in the Urals Federal District was the so-called case of hijackers and operatives. This shameful story clearly demonstrated the methods of “work” of the Investigation Department in the Urals, namely, investigator Bederin and his boss, head of the 4th Investigative Directorate of the ICR Ruslan Ibiev (now Lieutenant General of Justice). Operatives Koltsov and Bugaev, who caught Alexei Malov, a member of a gang of luxury foreign car thieves, red-handed in January 2013, themselves ended up in a pre-trial detention center. They were almost joined by the deputy head of the criminal investigation department, Andrei Menshenin, who escaped with house arrest. Two more operatives were on the run for two years, fleeing from boundless “justice.”

Both police officers and deputies sent appeals to Moscow regarding this outrageous case. State Duma deputy Valery Hartung also contacted Moscow several times. But in vain: Ponomarev preferred to pretend that he did not notice the lawlessness. With such “blindness”, of course, Ibiev worked very freely: “do things” as you wish!

Only two years later did justice prevail for the operas. But for the time they lost in the pre-trial detention center, for their nerves, for their health, for their insulted honor, neither Bederin nor Ibiev received punishment.

And this triumph of justice is an isolated incident. But one could recall many more lawless cases to which Ponomarev, as a representative of the Prosecutor General’s Office in the Urals Federal District, should have paid attention - but did not.

Similarly, Ponomarev was completely “not interested” in budget embezzlement and clearly corrupt issues, including the completely unlimited collusion of the Chelyabinsk road monopolist Yuzhuralmost with the regional Ministry of Road Facilities and Transport (remember that for three years this private company has been allocated for roads by the Ministry!) . And this money flowed freely for several years - after all, the actual owner of Yuzhuralmost is Sergei Vilshenko, who is on the run. Living in London, he still controls the work of the company, and in the region, current affairs are decided by his father, retired FSB Colonel Gennady Vilshenko.

With such “blindness” of the representative of the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation, the head of budget crimes in the Southern Urals, the head of the first department of the economic security department of the FSB Directorate for the Chelyabinsk Region, Anton Kostenko, calmly ignored corruption cases. Also, by the way, presumably connected with the Kalinin family.

It is not surprising that there was no reaction from Ponomarev to the long-term complaints of Chelyabinsk residents regarding the smoking ChEMK oligarch Alexander Aristov. And all because, as they believe in the South Ural elite, Ponomarev was firmly “hooked” by people from the Kalinin family working in the FSB Directorate for the Chelyabinsk Region.

So no one, except representatives of this authoritative family, will regret Ponomarev’s departure to Moscow.

Well, on the part of the Kalinin family, attempts will obviously be made to “establish connections” with the new deputy prosecutor general in the Urals Federal District. After all, it is impossible to continue operating the Aristov plant, ignoring environmental standards, without the patronage of the district prosecutor.

Whether Yuri Ponomarev's successor in the Ural Federal District, Vladimir Malinovsky, who arrived in his place in Yekaterinburg, will continue to help oligarch Aristov - time will tell.
