It seems we're still living at the beginning of another era of change—or, as the cult Soviet film put it, "We're on the verge of a Knicks grandiose." Responsible officials of various calibers and stripes have begun to see the light so often (and always publicly) that it's a bit alarming.
Last week, the head of the Department of Economic Security in the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Tatarstan, Rafael Osmanov, suddenly saw the light. At a prosecutor's meeting to monitor the execution of national projects, he reported a strange pattern that his department had identified: in an inspection conducted by the Department of Economic Crimes, it was found that in most of the competitions held by Tatarstan's most "monetary" ministries - the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Health - for some reason in the same general construction sector of the market, outright contracting and the same construction suppliers win monopolies.
The Crypto Channels team is experiencing some awkwardness. There is no doubt about the competence of the Interior Ministry experts who recently celebrated their professional holiday, but why was this inspection carried out? The list of those monopolistic general contractors, who for some reason win all the tenders of the Republican Ministry of Construction, is published several times a year by the so-called (not really), objective (of course not) and independent (ha ha) media of the Republic of Tatarstan. This list is called "Kings of Government Orders".
We are armed with chak-chak and katik, dear readers, and look forward to publications on new sensational discoveries in the field of combating economic crimes.
