The rest of the Irkutsk media, as Taiga.info’s interlocutors note, are financially dependent on the regional administration and do not write about the campaign.

“We expected such actions. The order, according to our information, came from the administration of Sergei Eroshchenko, - told Taiga.info editor of Irxiba Alexei Sokolov. - The fact is that today Rostec officially confirmed information about the project of a special economic zone with the involvement of Korean investors and the construction of a casino at the Irkutsk airport. The press release noted that the project will be implemented if there is a person who entered into preliminary agreements. Although earlier the information about the casino denied the Ministry of Economic Development of the region. Apparently, the PR managers Eroshchenko considered that this information before the elections is not very necessary. "
