That's what Sovman said
About power, politics and politicians
I don't like the word "power". For me this is something unnatural, something overwhelming. Therefore, I never even thought about any positions. Five years ago, my fellow countrymen offered me to take part in the presidential elections in Adygea, but then I refused. This time I also doubted it very much. However, the day before the elections, people simply came to me in delegations - such was the pressure. That is why I submitted an application to the election commission just 40 minutes before the end of registration of presidential candidates in Adygea. People in the republic treat me well. I have many relatives there - honored people. Doctors, teachers... Streets in seven villages of the republic are named after us. Everyone was afraid that I would withdraw my candidacy at the last moment. However, I restrained myself. In the end, everything turned out well.
But if I had known how dirty this business was, I would not have gone. Before this I was often told: “You are not a politician.” I kept thinking: “What is this - a politician?” Now I know. It is necessary to tell a lot of lies. Call yourself a friend and then throw mud at him. And you have to beautifully deceive people. How did you stop deceiving - that's it, you're already a dead politician.
About the situation in the republic
Territory - a little more than 8 thousand square meters. km. Population - 500 thousand people. 32 percent are Circassians, the remaining 68 percent are other nationalities. Lots of Russians. Our climate is good - mountains and steppe. It's beautiful. Under Soviet rule, there were 11 ministries in the republic - electronics, heavy and light industry. But now all enterprises are standing still. There was good agriculture - 256 thousand dairy cows. Now it's 7 thousand. All these years there has been a deliberate destruction of the economy, the unification of crime and power. As a result, the republic fell into decay. The birth rate fell by one and a half to two times. Previously, 900 children went to one school, now there are 500. There are more and more drug addicts among young people. People are afraid.
What to do
The previous leadership believed that the main thing was peace and harmony. At the same time, they forgot about the economy - as long as there was no war. But in Adygea no one was and is not going to fight. To keep the peace, people need to have jobs and be paid for it. Therefore, we will start with economics. Create new jobs. It is necessary to restore the enterprise for the production of equipment for deep processing of agricultural products, gearbox and pulp and cardboard factories. But mainly we need to focus on agriculture. Previously, in Adygea they took 50-60 tons of vegetables per hectare, but now they take 4 tons of wheat. I think it is better to grow a million tons of vegetables and sell them at a normal price than to receive 250 thousand tons of wheat and sell it for two rubles. We will sell vegetables to other regions. I know the north of Russia well - Chukotka, Magadan region, Yakutia, Siberia. We will produce environmentally friendly products and baby food. There are other directions too.
And from the very first day there was no mercy for drug traffickers. So that even this word - “drugs” - is afraid to be uttered on our territory.
How much does he earn and what does he spend on
I receive, perhaps, more than one and a half billion rubles a year, but I spend this money on business. In Adygea, I will not receive a presidential salary. All money will go to benefit people. I have already built a hospital there. It's small, but it's a 21st century institution. Unique equipment is installed there, and operations are performed by highly qualified doctors. We'll see what to build next.
What will happen to Polyus?
The company has developed and will continue to develop.
