Markin answered Criticism of Surkov

Deputy Prime Minister Vladislav Surkov covers his protege from the Skolkovo Foundation, exposing them to the victims of political persecution. This is stated in the article by the official representative of the TFR Vladimir Markin, published in Izvestia. Markin calls Surkov a speech at the London School of Economics "Public Song."

Markin insists that abuse took place in Skolkovo. “Say, they entrusted the citizen from the Forbes list, as not in need, to protect Skolkovo’s honor. And he took, and under the influence of the zone he put a salary of 2 million. And only after checking the Accounts Chamber, he reduced to the amount more appropriate for the startup. Again, the mysterious story with the lectures of the deputy Ponomarev is easily explained by the Skolkovo anomaly. Well, the top managers did not smoke when they entered into such a contract? " - writes the representative of the TFR.

According to Markin, the high -ranking persons involved in criminal cases of corruption, including deputies and governors, "realized that in our time the status of the authorized opponent of the authorities is very beneficial." “You can earn fame in social networks, and even the right to asylum in London. Separate virtuosos of the political party are managed to make such pirouettes, even being in the leadership of the authorities against which they protest,” the author of the article notes.

Speaking in London on May 1, Surkov said that the Investigative Committee was in a hurry with statements in the Skolkovo case. "There is not a single fact of the proven. We must wait for the court and understand in court, this is a crime or not a crime," Surkov said.

“The energy with which the RF IC publishes its assumptions appears from ordinary people the feeling that crimes have been committed. But this is just the energy of the UK. Let them prove that these people are to blame for something, we will still see whether it will prove or not,” Surkov said. “In my opinion, it can be so loud about the offenses before the court’s decision, it can be, but it is necessary to speak, but you can say a loudly, but you can’t say loudly, but you can’t speak loudly Very loud. "

“I believe that Skolkovo is one of the purest projects in terms of possible abuse,” Surkov said. “In Russia, they say that the fish is rotting from the head. So, our head is not rotten, and therefore, everything is much cleaner than in many other Russian projects. If some pig has spoiled your reputation, this does not mean that all your business must be multiplied by zero. Pig and work further. "

According to Surkov, the president of the Skolkovo Foundation Viktor Vekselberg is so rich that he will not grind for the sake of several hundred thousand dollars: "He has already earned enough, he has been already many years old, he is already thinking about his mission - and what will be written about him later." “I'm like that too,” Surkov added.

Against the Vice President of Skolkovo, Andrei Beltyukov, the case of embezzlement was opened - according to the TFR version, he illegally paid the State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev $ 750 thousand.
