Speaker of the Regional Duma Boris Maltsev tried to draw attention to defense plants today. Two weeks before, he traveled to former defense industry enterprises and collected material. After which I came to the conclusion that something needs to be done. “The sleeping beauty” needs to be woken up, Maltsev said. Wake up factory directors, bankers and politicians. And this signal to rise was sounded today at the Round Table in the White House.

The White House once again dreamed of forest money. The main hope of the regional authorities for exactly a year now has been the German concern Binos. The Germans promised to build two factories in the Tomsk region. These plants would process waste from our forestry industry, which, according to the White House, would bring long-awaited investment, and practically from scratch. The tempting project not only stalled, but began to somehow blur in terms of completion.

General Director of Tomsk Utility Systems Sergei Lazarev may lose his post. Representatives of the White House officially announced this today. It is known that Victor Kress gave instructions to select a new candidate in his place as soon as possible. Thus, the confrontation between the White House and TCS may end. Personnel decides everything. This phrase is one of the favorites in the vocabulary of the top management of Russian Utility Systems.

Tomsk healthcare was very offended by the governor. Homelessness, shadow business - these are just some of the expressions heard from the lips of Victor Kress at the last meeting of the Regional Duma. Today, for the first time in the last five years, representatives of healthcare institutions gathered for an emergency meeting. True, their response to the governor was not as emotional as expected. The tone of the meeting was set from the very beginning: the governor, alas, was right.

The fifth floor of the third city hospital is a therapeutic department; at first glance, it becomes clear that repair crews have not climbed to this floor for a decade. The linoleum is a complete hole, great-grandmother's curtains or newspapers instead, the windows are not painted, the corners are crumbling down to the bricks, there is only one toilet for the entire department - this is a modern hospital. And SES checks don’t change anything.
