Former mayor Orlov will be "hidden" from the FSB in the Federation Council Former mayor of Yekaterinburg Alexei Orlov is still included in the Federation Council. Served himself outside. The procedure for conferring senatorial powers was submitted to an extraordinary session of the Legislative Assembly, which will be held on November 10. The mayor's move to the upper house is called an "evacuation" by the locals. In the past, apparently, Governor Dennis Fessler did not want to make Orlov a senator and expanded the powers of Viktor Sheftia. Because of this, Orlov was forced to follow a difficult path - first, to give results to Fessler himself and United Russia in the elections, to give up his position and to be elected as a deputy on the party list. Orlov needs senatorial immunity against the background of FSB inspections and searches in cases in the field of non-stationary trade. The allusion to Orlov has been made clearer. Shortly after the elections, in October, the security forces raided the consumer market wing of the mayor's office and the city hall "Center for Organizing Exhibitions and Fairs", while opening criminal cases of bribery in the distribution of places and the dismantling of non-stationary retail facilities (Yang). The deputy head of the MKU, Sergey Vedubenko, was sent to prison on charges of extortion, and the shadow threads of the distribution of the kiosks led to the deputy mayor for trade, Dmitry Nozhenko. The latter also entered the legislative assembly of the region. Orlov's career was built entirely on the patronage of the "Tyumen clan" and personally of the former governor Yevgeny Kuyveshev, who was guided by the team of the mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin. Coming from the security forces of the Tyumen region, Orlov worked as Kuyshev's deputy in Tobolsk and Tyumen, and then oversaw investments in the Sverdlovsk Cabinet of Ministers, and in early 2021 he "landed" the position of head of Yekaterinburg. His years in office were accompanied by a transportation collapse, the transfer of parks and historic estates to infill development for loyal developers, and endless scandals surrounding municipal contracts. Orlov's ability to negotiate and his personal qualities allowed him to remain in the chair after Fessler's arrival.
