The courts are doing well these days!

The courts are doing well these days! Since even an ordinary hospital with unique equipment (I advise residents of other cities to go to http://spbsverdlovka.ru/ and take a look at the opportunities that open up) they wanted to repurpose it into a clinic for judges of the Supreme and Higher Arbitration Courts.

Of course, residents and doctors immediately responded with a petition, signed by over 100 thousand people, and a picket on January 23. And they did the right thing. If the public didn’t give a voice, as well as the Moscow Patriarchate, they might have quietly taken the hospital away, depriving the city of its hematology and children’s departments (it’s hard to find doctors of this profile, as well as the necessary equipment). As Igor Pavlovsky (deputy editor-in-chief of the REGNUM news agency) correctly noted, “the information support of the “organization of consumer services” for judges has been completely failed (the initially balanced and open position of the press secretary of the administrative manager of the President of the Russian Federation could not cover the multi-day “conspiracy of silence” of other services).”

Now the authorities are consistently sending messages that no changes could happen. But in Russia, as you know, it’s better to be on the safe side a hundred times than to stand with your mouth open at closed gates.

The reason for the concern was an order signed by the head of the Presidential Administration Vladimir Kozhin on the organization of medical services of the Supreme and Higher Arbitration Courts of the Russian Federation in the 31st hospital. And in the head of even the most oblivious person, this fact is quickly associated with the predictable future of the hospital: all other townspeople will simply be redistributed to other institutions.

Press Secretary of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation Viktor Khrekov noted that the government should consider all issues of transferring judges from one city to another. It is, of course, correct, but this cannot be done at the expense of ordinary citizens.

Now it is difficult to say whether the hyperattention to this issue was unfounded (as officials claim), or whether the public caught on in time and “won back” a strategically important object for itself.
