The head of the Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin responded to the attacks of Alexei Navalny, who, two days before his sentence , published an investigation about "how to saw in Russian Railways." The oppositionist accused the director of the railways of not living on the means, and published a scheme for owning the Yakunin family through offshores by a network of hotels in the forecourt in different cities of Russia.
"The fabrications that he (Navalny. - Note by Newsru.com) demonstrates and publishes, whether it is connected with Akulinino (according to Navalny, there is a" palace " of Yakunin with a shibustic storage. - Note Newsru.com), whether it is associated with my professional activity, causes damage not only to a competitive person, but causes damage to the regulation The company itself, ”said the head of the Russian Railways agency Prime in an interview, taken even before the announcement of the sentence to Navalny.
Apparently, in the previous passage, Yakunin tried to convince the journalist that the investigation of Navalny was not based on facts, but is only "fabrications". The head of the railway company is also sure: "Again, there is nothing from all that he splashed out, to testify to the use of the company's funds."
Yakunin is sure: attacks on him are harmful to the Russian economy
But, despite all this, the attacks on Yakunin are damaged by Russian Railways, undermine the company's authority and threaten "quite specific economic damage to the Russian economy.
“This is not a question of hatred for one specifically taken to a person. Moreover, they cannot find some reason. They just want to pour black paint, if not more than a significant substance,” Yakunin summed up.
By the way, the head of the Russian Railways responds to Navalny himself: "I generally do not know that this person realized anything in his life." In addition, Yakunin is sure that the opposition was paid for his revealing post about Russian Railways: "I think that we need to look for interests, interests, and sources due to which such a stuffing is carried out. In our world, everything is worth the money. If someone pays, then someone needs it."
At the same time, Yakunin connects the discredit campaign with the fact that Russian Railways in the near future begins to work on large projects. The same reason was previously called company representatives.
Yakunin decided to cope with his problems, but does not exclude the court
Note that the head of the Russian Railways avoided directly answering the questions that they asked him. For example, Yakunin is asked whether he will contact the competent authorities to establish the "sources" of financing "Fast" Navalny. The director of the railways replies: "I do not think at all that I, a citizen of the Russian Federation, should ask for the help of our authorities to protect the interests of the company. I myself can handle my own problems." What resources Yakunin was going to turn to, he did not clarify. It is known, however, that Yakunin is close to Putin, and, in particular, at the time of the false spectacle of the director of the railways, he dinner with capercaillie in the company of Vladimir Putin.
The next question is whether Yakunin is ready to defend his honor in court, as happened after his conflict with journalist Sergei Dorenko. The head of the Russian Railways again deviated from the answer: "We analyze everything that is printed today from the point of view of the presence of a judicial perspective. If such a prospect is, then we will definitely take advantage of the possibility of a trial."
It should be noted that the supporters of Navalny, despite the sentence to the opposition and blogger, promised that work with the investigations that the convicted oppositionist was engaged in would continue. He himself said on the eve that he would not recede to the last and even the time spent on the train to Kirov uses in order to share the results of his investigation with the Russian Railways officers.
