Alexander VOLOGZHANIN, Deputy Head of the Pskov Administration for Social Affairs: “Having written a letter of resignation of his own free will, Anatoly Iosifovich acted like a man of honor and a real officer ... This is a worthy and courageous act. For my part, I did not accept his resignation, which I reported to the head of the city administration and petitioned for the dissatisfaction of this application ... The incident happened. Its consequences are catastrophic. You can't get a young man's life back! But the departure of the head of the Center may mean a sad ending in the life of the Center itself. This cannot be allowed. We have an obligation to preserve it and continue its work. Strange for me was and remains the reaction of the head of the city education department, Nadezhda Viktorovna Mikhnenka. This is a complete disagreement with the fault of the administration that the safety of transportation of schoolchildren inside and outside the territory of the subject was not ensured. I think that the first to appear was the resignation letter from the head of the city education department.”

Anatoly KOPOSOV, Second Secretary of the Pskov Regional Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, head of the Communist Party faction in the Pskov Regional Assembly of Deputies: “Representatives of all parties have been invited to a rally in Pskov against rising prices for housing and communal services, because the problems we raise concern everyone. The state must respond to people's problems and adopt laws in accordance with which these problems will be solved. Questions are being raised about raising military pensions for people who have given up their sacred duty to defend the Fatherland, and about strengthening control over the growth of tariffs. This also applies to state authorities and municipalities. This is a common problem that needs to be worked on. All the talk about the fact that everything has stabilized and everything is fine, in fact, turns into another increase in tariffs. In fact, the rally will once again force both state and municipal authorities to take these problems more attentively. At one time, they raised the problem of the lack of necessary medicines, state control over the quality of medicines, as a result, a number of measures were taken to address these issues.

Sergei ANISIMOV, Head of the Agitation and Propaganda Department of the Pskov Regional Executive Committee of United Russia, Deputy of the Pskov Regional Assembly: “A rally in defense of the rights of citizens and against the rise in prices for housing and communal services is slyness. Communists are looking for any excuse to collect their dividends. They openly deceive people and speculate on their feelings, do not explain the situation, but rather exacerbate the situation. It is wrong to seek power in this way.”

Ulyana MIKHAILOVA, and. O. Chairman of the Pskov Regional Council of Trade Unions: “The problem of rising tariffs for housing and communal services is close to us, and on the topic of monetization of benefits for housing and communal services, we have a number of independent measures. In labor collectives where there are primary trade union structures, there is no tension yet regarding the very fact of monetization of benefits. There is a certain expectation that before April 1, as stated by the authorities, there will be a settlement of issues with the amount of amounts provided as benefits. Now trade union structures are alarmed by the simultaneous increase in tariffs for housing and communal services ... Salaries in the Pskov region are not comparable with the amounts that our citizens receive in receipts.

Alexander Khristofrov, Chairman of the Labor and Social Policy Committee of the Regional Assembly of Deputies: “Reforms in Russia are not only a change of names, serious expenses of budgets of all levels and a reshuffling of personnel. Reforms, especially in power and law enforcement agencies, and especially radical reforms, are very dangerous. If new personnel come to the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and these may be inexperienced young people, then naturally there will be real punctures in the work. And then even worse. Most of the employees removed from the authorities can end up on a completely different side - in criminal structures. And not even fundamentally, but out of desperation. And it's very dangerous. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of those leaving in advance, in terms of their employment, in order to use their experience and knowledge “for peaceful purposes”. In any administrative event, reform, the main thing is people. Especially when it comes to people in uniform, trained in coercive methods of influence, who possessed, to one degree or another, power - here you need to approach both them and their future very carefully, with a great deal of strategic foresight.”
