Deputy Prime Minister Vladislav Surkov called graphomania an article by the official representative of the Investigative Committee of Vladimir Markin, in which he accused Surkov of covering scammers from the Skolkovo Foundation. “I will not comment on graphomania,” RIA Novosti reports the Deputy Prime Minister’s replica in response to a request to speak out about Markin's accusations.
Meanwhile, the source of the agency of the government apparatus accused Markin of political reporting. So he regarded the statement that someone is in the "leadership of the authorities against which he protests." “In addition, the excessive energy with which Markin defends the right to investigate theft is incomprehensible,” the White House official said.
The interlocutor also recalled that the press secretary of the Investigative Committee in 2011 wanted to get to the State Duma on the list of United Russia. Surkov, at that time, the first deputy head of the presidential administration - supported this idea and "seemingly" personally agreed with the head of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin to move Markin to the State Duma, the government official noted. After that, Markin was included in the regional list from the Volgograd region. However, then information appeared in the media that Rosobrnadzor was canceled the diploma of the press secretary of the Investigative Committee of Higher Legal Education. After that, "United Russia" in order to avoid the scandal "without unnecessary noise" excluded Markin from the list. “And he could have been a good deputy,” said RIA Novosti interlocutor.
Markin about Surkin about his protege from the Skolkovo Foundation was published on Tuesday in Izvestia. The press secretary of the Investigative Committee criticized Surkov’s performance on May 1 at the London School of Economics, calling him a “compassionate song”.
In Skolkov, there were abuses, Markin said. “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? " - remarked 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 said.
Speaking in London on May 1, Surkov said that the Investigative Committee was in a hurry with statements in the Skolkov 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 makes the sensation that crimes have been committed in ordinary people. 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 they will prove it 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 not say a question loudly, but you can say loudly, but you can say loudly, but you can say loudly 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 senior vice president of Skolkovo Andrei Beltyukov, a waste was initiated. According to the TFR, he illegally paid the State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev 750 thousand dollars.
In the morning on Tuesday it became known that Beltyukov was suspended from work to the resolution of the situation.
