| Head of the Stavropol traffic police and his golden shitter |
| 2021-07-21 |
| Translated via Google Translate. Edited by Aleksandr Kots [KP] Impressive, but still "not set off." There is a golden toilet, but no golden loaf. And his own full-length portrait in a carved gold frame is also missing. And he was stingy on a pond with swans. Whenever we are shown the abode of another "burned out" corrupt official, suddenly taken by the sciatic nerve, we go numb with "Spanish shame." You have stolen many, many millions. Well, do you really feel sorry for throwing over a normal designer? Where does this passion for "gypsy baroque" come from with its massive gold stucco moldings, white marble, giant crystal (seemingly) chandeliers, "Botticelli-like" canvases all over the wall, baths on "lion legs". Decorators, who can be entrusted with the stolen wealth, only have a little imagination with them. So they sculpt kitsch from the 90s in the palaces of bribe-takers, under the “new Russians”. And a rod of them "Versailles" in the suburbs (like the arrested vice-rector of Moscow State University Grishin). "The embankments of Bruges and Amsterdam", in Mari El (at the ex-head of this republic Markelov). 195 watches and a golden pen on Sakhalin (at the ex-governor Khoroshavin). No mind, no imagination. Grab and hide a billion under the plinth. Greed has ruined the frayer. As it is sung in the song of the Circle: it is not a "point" that usually ruins, but a golden toilet bowl. A case was initiated against members of a criminal group led by the head of the UGIBDD in Stavropol It is also always interesting to find out, but how did the investigators come up with all this luxury? Here lived a man, for almost ten years. He headed the regional State traffic inspectorate, stole to the best of his strength and appetite. It was said he called on New Year's and birthdays only the faithful accomplices, tied up with only bribes and one designer, left work by bus, and then transferred to a sports BMW, smelling of expensive leather, and drove to a country residence. And no one, no one except the most dedicated, knew about him? Although, as practice shows, in any region there is a public figure or journalist-truth-bearer who will take you on local rubles with an excursion, tell you which minister, prosecutor or colonel the mansion belongs to. And from the inconsistency of their scale with the salaries in their positions, (from ostentatious impunity, let's say more simply) conspiracy theories about circular corruption are born among the people, originating from Moscow itself. These people will clap their tongues after looking at the photo: "What kind of palace should the head of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs have then?" And that one is quickly dismissed from his post. The bribes are smooth. "And to us, to us, when will the investigator arrive in the blue helicopter?", raced in social networks throughout the country, delighted with the scale of the covered gang of "werewolves in uniform" in Stavropol. "It is no longer surprising to be arrested by a wealthy official. It is a common thing. But, 35 traffic cops at a time is just a miracle!" said another on social media. "Is it possible that they have declared war on corruption?" The people look hopefully on TV. But out of habit he adds, "or the campaign before the elections?" Reference to the upcoming federal Duma elections in September. Aleksandr Kots is prior service Russian airborne and a writer/photographer for Komsomol Pravda |
