Daughter of ex-wife and... O. Volgograd city manager Vladimir Sobakar Natalya Gavrilova filed a complaint with law enforcement agencies against her stepfather, who, according to the applicant, taking advantage of his high-ranking position and using the levers of power in his hands, is literally driving her out of the common house, half of which she inherited from mother.
In her statement, the woman reports that she inherited from her mother, who died in 2007, 1/2 of the share of a residential building in the private sector of the Sovetsky district of Volgograd and half of the land plot on which this house is located. She clarifies that the house was built during the marriage of the current and. O. city manager of Volgograd and her mother. However, five years after entering into inheritance rights, the stepdaughter of Vladimir Sobakar cannot move into the living space that belongs to her due to fierce resistance from her stepfather in power.
“Since 2007, I have not been able to use and dispose of the inherited share, since Vladimir Sobakar first drove me and my family out of this house, moving in there with his new family, and then, until September 2010, tried to deprive me of my inheritance,” writes Natalya Gavrilova.
After a grueling legal battle that lasted several years, the woman, by decision of the Sovetsky District Court, with the help of bailiffs, was still able to move into one of the rooms of the part of the house that legally belonged to her. But the victory achieved with such difficulty turned out to be illusory. Natalya Gavrilova claims that to date she has not been able to use her property due to the obstacles that Vladimir Sobakar puts in her way. In particular, according to her, he does not allow his ex-wife’s daughter into the basement located in her half of the house and does not comply with the court decision to hand over the keys to the front door to the co-owner of the house. At the same time, the bailiffs of the Sovetsky district, according to the woman’s story, show unusual timidity, limiting themselves only to informal conversations with a high-ranking official, “for fear of disturbing him.” The latter, judging by the chronicle of events set out in the statement, set himself the goal of starving out his stepdaughter from the common house.
“On October 6, Sobakar turned off the water supply in the house,” the applicant writes. “Since October 15, he turned off the electricity, and I cannot get into the basement that I own, where the communications and heating boiler are located, for the reasons stated above.”
From the woman’s further story it follows that on October 22, Vladimir Sobakar, with the direct participation of the head of the subscriber department of OJSC Volgograd Mezhregiongaz Lipchansky, without warning, stopped supplying gas to the house, leaving the large family sharing the living space with the daughter of the deceased first wife without heat, water, light and basic amenities. amenities. It was explained to Natalya Gavrilova’s representative that the gas had been turned off due to debts, although neither the woman herself nor her representative had previously been notified of gas debts. The act of turning off the gas was signed not by anyone, but by the current wife of Vladimir Sobakar, Mrs. Lelyakova, who in June of this year got a job at the Volgograd mayor’s office and was immediately appointed to the position of deputy head of the department of entrepreneurship and consumer market. The latter, according to the Volgograd resident who contacted the law enforcement agencies, arrived in her husband’s company car, a Toyota Camry, which, according to Natalya Gavrilova, is the family’s car. O. Volgograd city manager freely uses it not only on weekdays, but also on weekends. Mrs. Gavrilova also notes that the strange behavior of bailiffs is equally characteristic of police officers: “With almost daily calls to the police by phone “02”, starting from September 30 of this year, applications remain unconsidered, no measures are taken on them.”
“It is very difficult for me to defend my rights, since Vladimir Sobakar (...) constantly uses his official position to solve personal problems,” says Natalya Gavrilova’s complaint. “An official who is called upon to honor and respect the civil rights and legitimate interests of citizens, “In fact, he uses his powers to trample on my constitutional rights and legitimate interests. Even in his income statement, the entire house is indicated as his exclusive property.”
It was not possible to obtain a comment on Natalya Gavrilova’s statement received by law enforcement agencies from Vladimir Sobakar himself, since he, traditionally citing special rules for communication with high-ranking officials, refers to the press service for comments on all issues.
The press service of the Volgograd mayor's office, in turn, declined to comment, citing the fact that they do not comment on the personal lives of city administration employees.
One of the high-ranking employees of the Volgograd mayor's office, who for obvious reasons refused to make an authorized comment, admitted that it was difficult for him to respect the interim head of the city.
“A person is best known by his behavior in everyday life,” the interlocutor noted. “Not only an official, but also any person not vested with power has the moral right to point out the shortcomings of others only if he himself is not their bearer. Let’s say a non-smoker has the right to reprimand smokers, a non-drinker can reproach a drinker for his unworthy behavior. From a moral point of view, he will be right, and the bearer of a bad habit, if he is not a completely finished person, will listen to the reproach and, perhaps, even try to correct himself. leading a private household, trying to manage the economy of a city of a million people, a comparison with a moralizing representative of the most ancient profession involuntarily comes to mind.”
