Financial flood

The former head of the republic was planted, and the village of Shuimuchash burst into tears

Interesting arithmetic: Leonid Markelov, who led the Republic of Mari El 16 years old, gave 13. The charge asked 17, but in this case the numbers would not have agreed.

The village of Shuimuchash burst into tears before the announcement of the sentence. By the way, the verdict was so voluminous that the judge read it for a week. It was just right to cry.

But what did the Mari village of tears not restrained? The touching of the moment explains the headline in one of the local newspapers: "In the wilderness of Mari El, they received the national treasure of the country: they cried the whole village."

Well, of course: the gas was held in Shuimuchash - the European village of the XXI century! And people cried with joy.

What did you think?

About the official-Stylevo Markelov, who managed to squeeze (or rush?) The 235 millionth bribe in one approach, we will talk, and first-a little about gasification. There are only 26 houses in the village of Shuimuchash, and perhaps this explains that they could not see her for a long time. But there are more and more noticeable settlements in Mari El. For example, the village of Mamara. Something familiar, right? Even from those times when we undertook to gasify decrepit and backward Europe, a combination of Urengoy - Lemara - Uzhgorod was preserved in memory. And if Alexei Borisovich Miller and one of the Board of Directors of Gazprom leave each other from Urengoy and Uzhgorod, then, having passed a total of four and a half thousand kilometers, they will meet in the middle of the gas pipeline-in the permits.

They will meet, look around and probably express perplexity: Budapest and Warsaw have long been gasified, and blossom is still not completely. Now, almost 40 years after laying a large pipe almost in the local gardens, three streets of the village are left without gas, one of which is Russian proud of Russian. Not a Swiss and not Austrian.

It is clear that everything rests on money. Where will the money come from from the poor and preserved Mari Republic? What kind of money can there be here? What kind of people can have a salary? What property?

Yes, to the issue of property ... We almost forgot about Markelov. The list of his property confiscated in favor of the state was read in court for three hours. So try to make a list of your property, including clothing clothespins. Make it up and read it out loud. Perhaps in three minutes get together. And here I had to transfer 122 real estate objects, 16 vehicles and other equipment, gold bullion, world brands, bank accounts and shares ... only 2.2 billion rubles. Or 220 million pieces translated into linen clothespins.

Still, some financial flows still boil, accelerate and spray with a ringing trifle even in the most depressed regions.

It seems to be there nothing to steal here, it seems that everything was already stolen before you ... So no, here and there the income of officials who stood for the service of the officials are incredibly approaching the number of numbers to their TIN.

I happened to be almost the first journalist who in January 2001 an interview with the Mari El Leonid Markelov, who was elected President, who was elected President. Leonid Igorevich was configured for the financial recovery of the republic and promised to return everything that his predecessor appropriated. I don’t know what he appropriated, but Markelov, as we see, returned something.
