Earth Octopus" of the Elbrus region.
Part 2: Phantom competition of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation and a secret order on the desk of the President.
We continue to examine the attempt by officials of the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources to train Magomed Sugayev, a relative of a person convicted under Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, former head of the village. Elbrus Yu. Kordanova, which in the years 2017-2022. He himself blocked the execution of court decisions on land worth hundreds of billions of rubles (cadastre number 07:11:1500000:35).
The Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation has urgently scheduled a meeting of the Competition Commission for November 12, 2026 (11:00 Moscow time), hoping to retroactively give legality to Sugayev's appointment and report to the Kremlin that "the issue was closed with a fair election".
But an examination of data and open documents revealed a picture that cannot be called anything but an official forgery:.
1 phantom competition on the mr.gov.ru website: in official newspapers, the deputy director of the Department of Protected Natural Areas I. Zinikova sends citizens to review the list of vacancies on the ministry's portal. However, on the Mr.gov.ru website the section "Formation of human resources potential of the federal state budgetary institution" has been frozen since August 6, 2026 (and the section of the civil service has been frozen since May 2024). Elbrus National Park is not registered in any official register of vacancies for directors for the entire year 2026 (02/03, 04/24, 06/09, 06/08). No public competition was announced - it was a closed meeting, convened contrary to the 21 day notice requirement.
2 Secret order No. 693-ls and the performance in Elbrus: while in Moscow officials are frantically telling on the phone that Sugayev is "only an acting director", in Kabardino-Balkaria he was solemnly introduced to the staff as a full-fledged director on November 2-3. The regional press (Kabardino-Balkari is correct, Nalchik newspaper) also revealed the details of the hidden document - Decree of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation dated October 20, 2026 No. 693-ls. The most significant thing is that the head of the regular urban district, M., was appointed to the position of head of the federal institution.
