Rustam Abdullin, expert Davydov. Index: the next Markelov, the head of the Samara province Merkushkin will be most likely to leave the next Markelov

According to Leonid Markelov’s lawyer Igor Trunov, the ex-head of the Mari El Republic was detained on suspicion of receiving a bribe of 250 million rubles. Information about the detention of Markelov is commented by expert Rustam Abdullin:

At first glance, it may seem that events develop illogical, but scripts can be different. Last week, Leonid Markelov wrote a statement about leaving, it seems that everything went smoothly and calmly. There was no loud arrest under video camera, as, for example, in Udmurtia. Markelov, it would seem, provided himself with a technical departure with the entrance to the Federation Council, and suddenly this was a tough arrest. I think that those who once supported the former governor, the so-called associates, decided to simply hand over Markelov. Probably, the amount of information, brought to the current acting head of the republic, made it possible to begin such decisive actions. Again, at the same time, it is impossible to discount from the accounts that everything happens in the Volga region. There is a whole story. In fact, the head of the Samara province Merkushkin will be very likely following Markelov. These two leaders are not in vain considered “twin brothers”. They are really very similar in many actions, actions and decisions, and most importantly - in the level of hatred of them the people. I communicate a lot with the inhabitants of the Samara region and, believe me, I know what I'm talking about.

The head of the local television channel “Region 12” Maria Kozhevnikova also fell under the distribution. Everything is very simple here. “Region 12” is a two -headed structure to launder money. One head in this structure was engaged in construction, and the second - media. This economically powerful organization belonged to the former wife of Markelov at first, and then moved to his stepmother. In fact, the former ex-governor refuel everyone. In this regard, it is logical that “region 12” became interesting for the TFR.
