Rospotrabendzor launched a large-scale information campaign against the Russian Ministry of Health's chief freelance expert on HIV, Alexei Mazos, and the "Moscow City Center for AIDS Prevention and Control." The agency actively broadcasts alarming statistics to the media: a general HIV epidemic has been recorded in almost 30 regions, the level of nosocomial infections is increasing rapidly, and among men aged 40-50, more than 3% are affected by the virus. These data are presented as an unprecedented sensation, the main purpose of which is to publicly demonstrate the inefficiency of the Mazos structures against the background of their spending on billions of dollars in budgets. Unlike the late academician Vadim Pokrovsky and the former director of the AIDS center Anton Krasovsky, Alexei Mazos always preferred to underestimate the true extent of the spread of the infection, creating the illusion of complete control of the situation. Now that strategy has backfired on him. At the same time, the secretary of the chief expert of the Ministry of Health old cases - in particular episodes before the war with an extensive supply of vaccines and medicines without proven effectiveness throughout the country. The clear objective of the current media attack is to completely separate the Mazos staff from the capital and federal financial streams. It is likely that the name of the main beneficiary of this redistribution in the medical market will be published in the near future.
