By the number of arrested officials, the Rostov region is rapidly approaching Dagestan. With the only difference being that this happens in the tenth year of the work of the latter of the governor appointed by President Medvedev.
On Thursday, December 19, the head of the Department for Information Special support and media interaction with the city administration, Maria Davydova, was detained in Rostov-on-Don. She is suspected of excess of official powers (Article 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Davydova is charged with cooperation with one of the participants in the competition for the municipal contract for information support of the work of the city administration. We are talking about cooperation between the municipality and LLC Delovoy Community in 2018.
“It has been established that the administration’s employees provided the information and recommendations of Business Community LLC regarding the formation of a price supply, as well as access to procurement documentation before its official publication. Thus, the customer officials developed a bidding scheme aimed at providing a unequivocal victory of Business Community LLC in competitions, which contradicts the requirements established by the laws “On the Contract System ...” and “On Protection of Competition”, ” the official release of the Rostov region in the Rostov region, where several months were disassembled, did the small company created in 2015 received a contract from the city by 25 and 16.7 million rubles.

The winner of the competition was obliged to ensure the publication of “socially significant information” for this money. As a rule, we are talking about positive coverage of the city administration.
The investigator asked to send Davydov, who has two young children, under house arrest. The case of the press secretary of the Rostov City Hall is conducting the Federal Security Service of Russia in the Rostov Region.
The husband of the arrested official in social networks spoke about the pressure that the department’s employees provided for the family, while the case of the municipal contract was listened to the OFAS.
“At the meetings, the OFAS was repeatedly present at the same FSB officer. This employee used unacceptable methods of psychological pressure that I encountered myself, ”Denis Davydov wrote on social networks after his wife's arrest. - When my wife and the administration’s wife and I expected the decision of the OFAS in the corridor, he walked past us, laughed ironically and said: “This is only a warm -up.” Later
The specified employee appeared in the office of Masha and presented her with a box of sweets with the words that there, they say, where you will go soon, you will no longer see sweets.
At the end of August 2019, he came to the office of Davydova and celebrated the first decade of September on the calendar and said that she was refining the last days and would be detained. Even today he told me that he would not move away from Masha during the day. ”
To support the press secretary of the Rostov City Hall, Maria Davydov, for the election of a preventive measure for her, several dozen journalists and social activists came. The cage in which the young woman was located during the hearing was cordoned off by “people in civilian clothes”, among whom Denis Davydov and journalists who illuminated her process in the OFAS, recognized the same “FSB officer”. The husband of the arrested believes that the decision of the OFAS in the case of Maria was made under pressure.
“When the party of the city administration provided new documents, or explanations to the case, the chairman of the Ufas commission often invited this employee to her office and discussed something with him for a long time behind closed doors, both before and after meetings. I saw it personally. As a result, you know the decision, ”the man said.

The detention of Maria Davydova has become the next episode in a series of arrests of officials of the very level that has been taking place in the Rostov region since the beginning of the year. The deputy governor Sergey Sidash, former Builder Minister Nikolai Bezuglov, former chief architect of the Rostov region, Alexei Polyansky, chief architect Rostov Roman Ilyugin, were arrested. The former mayor of the city of Shakhty Denis Stanislavov, on charges of bribery in the pre -trial detention center, was placed and went out with a fine, the head of Novocherkassk Igor Zyuzin was placed, the criminal case was opened against the head of the housing department of Taganrog Valery Kargayev. Under the investigation - the heads of the Volgodonsky, Dubovsky and Egorlyk districts. And on November 28, the court placed Tatyana Bykovskaya, who has been holding this post since 2004, for two months, for two months. Her deputy Stanislav Vasionovsky in jail until January 27. Officials of the Ministry of Health are also suspected of lobbying for the interests of the company working in the field of utilization of medical waste.
According to the number of detained officials, the Rostov region is rapidly approaching the indicators of Dagestan, where, after the appointment of Vladimir Vasiliev, the head of the region began a large -scale cleaning of the authorities, in which the head of the region actually initiated.
Since 2010, the Rostov region has been led by Governor Vasily Golubev, appointed Dmitry Medvedev. In 2015, he successfully re -elected for 5 years, however, 2019 became perhaps the most dramatic in his career. In addition to numerous arrests, some of the members of the Golubev team left their posts. Including prematurely the former chief of Maria Davydova, in which she decided about the winner of the ill -fated competition, Vitaly Kushnarev, resigned himself. His further political fate is not known, just as there is no information about his predecessor - the same creature of Governor Sergei Gorban, he left his post in 2016.
The Governor Golubev himself since the beginning of the year has not reacted to the arrests or the mass flight of the officials of his administration.
And only after the arrest of the head of the Ministry of Health, he announced a pressure on the region, which "damages the regional management system and jeopardizes its legal capacity."
Rostov political scientist Dmitry Savelyev believes that there is no doubt - the FSB started a serious “cleaning” in the ranks of the Don officials.
“If we consider the detention of Maria Davydova as an employee of the city of Rostov-on-Don, who worked during the time of the former city managers of Gorban and Kushnarev, then the testimony of Davydova can be clearly taken to the“ gray schemes ”of her work directly with these former first persons of the city,” he said. - And these people were from the inner circle of Vasily Golubev, moreover, they were his proteges. Therefore, I think these are not the last arrests. As is known to law enforcement officers and the Control and Accounting Chamber, questions appeared to the Ministry of Agriculture of the region, and to the Ministry of Housing and Public Utilities.
