The most controversial issue during today's meeting of the working group involved in adjusting the changes being made to the budget of the Perm Territory for 2013-2015 was the issue of allocating funds for the as yet unapproved regional program “Resettlement of citizens from emergency (unsuitable for living) housing in the city of Berezniki » in the amount of 2.5 billion rubles. in 2013-2015. The exclusion of these costs was provided for by two amendments, which were simultaneously sent by deputy Alexei Burnashov and the association of parliamentarians represented by Dmitry Skrivanov, Elena Zyryanova and Ilya Shulkin. Mr. Burnashov noted that eliminating the emergency situation in Berezniki is the authority of the federal, not the regional authorities. Mr. Skrivanov said that today there are no confirmed guarantees of financing this program from the federation and OJSC Uralkali in the amount of 2.5 billion rubles. from each side. “Until there is a concept that clearly outlines the sources of funding, deadlines, confirmation from other participants, the allocation of regional funds is absurd,” explained Dmitry Skrivanov. However, Deputy Prime Minister Konstantin Zakharov assured that Uralkali had received a letter of guarantee to take part in the implementation of the resettlement program. The additional agreement with the company, which was signed by the regional authorities in mid-April, was criticized by Elena Zyryanova.

“The agreement is not the best mechanism for working with taxpayers. We signed up in powerlessness and took the path of limited budget revenues. There must be another way of scenario development. There is no sense of work, there is simply patching up a hole in the budget,” she said, adding that failure by the regional authorities to fulfill the terms of the agreement threatens to reduce tax revenues to the budget this year by 2 billion rubles. Let us remind you that the authorities agreed with potash producers to allocate 6 billion rubles to the regional budget in 2013-2015. annually.

The need to allocate funds was stated by the mayor of Berezniki Sergei Dyakov. “People are afraid to live in the city. 1.5 thousand people leave Berezniki every year, the decision to exclude costs only exacerbates their fear. Where will I put people while you figure it out? The city has always helped the region. This is the first time we have asked you for help. We didn’t have any problems because we took the right and timely measures,” Mr. Dyakov called on him to reject the parliamentarians’ proposals. According to him, the new resettlement program will provide for the construction of 47 thousand square meters. m. of housing. “This is exhaustive. We will resolve the issue once and for all,” assured the head of Bereznikov, adding that he has no doubt about Uralkali’s participation. He was also supported by the first vice speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Igor Papkov, who recalled that the current decision-making algorithm has been in effect for the last several years: “first we allocate money, then we seek funding from the federation and the subsoil user company.” Following a lengthy discussion, the deputies' proposal did not receive support from the majority of members of the working group.

Let us remind you that the authorities, together with Uralkali, have been dealing with the issue of resettlement of citizens in Berezniki since the mid-2000s. In 2007, after the accident at BKPRU-1, construction of the Usolsky-2 microdistrict began. Funds for the construction of the microdistrict - 1.372 billion rubles. were allocated from the federal budget. For the construction of 55 thousand square meters. m of housing, contracts were concluded with the companies "Dormash" (Vologda), "Rost-N-Resource" (Rostov), "Radoslav" (Pereyaslavl-Zalessky), "Construction Energy Company" (Smolensk) and "Ural Construction Technologies" (Perm ). In September 2011, Rospotrebnadzor found that the level of formaldehyde in indoor air exceeded the maximum permissible concentration. The Department for Investigation of Particularly Important Criminal Cases No. 2 of the regional Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation is today investigating a criminal case regarding violations during the construction of the Usolsky microdistrict in Berezniki. The case was initiated under Part 1 of Art. 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Performance of work that does not meet safety requirements).
