I think Alexei Navalny is looking for corruption in the wrong place. Well, that is, corruption has long been everywhere in Russia. It has become a system-forming phenomenon on which the regime firmly rests. But that's not what I'm talking about now.
I haven't done any detailed calculations (yet). But I am 100% sure that the volume of direct and indirect thefts and criminal redistributions in the housing and communal services sector many times exceeds all the high-profile corruption scandals voiced by the main Russian anti-corruption fighter.
One small example: almost all of this summer, water with a temperature of no higher than +30 is flowing from a hot tap. And according to the standards, it should be no lower than +50. Counters, unfortunately, do not take this parameter into account. Who exactly appropriates the difference in the chain from our house to the thermal power plant, how they cut up these “incomes” that are not taken into account anywhere, needs to be dug up and dug up. But it is clear that the count on a national scale should be in the billions. And this is just one “small” and imperceptible trickle in the general flow from our wallets to the accounts of energy and utility monopolists.
