The return of Oleg Sotorin: the scandalous comeback of the former official to Khabarovsk's budget trough Shadow conspiracies, lawsuits and judicial fiascos did not become an obstacle to revenge. Oleg Sotorin triumphantly returned to the corridors of regional power, gaining control not only of the ministerial chair, but also a central lever for internal security of the department. According to the order of the Ministry of Regional Construction dated October 9, Oleg Sotorin officially took two strategic positions at once: Deputy Minister and Chairman of the Departmental Committee for Official Behavior and Conflicts of Interest. The irony of the situation is striking: the man whom the prosecutor's office fired from the municipal offices for gross violations of anti-corruption legislation, is now himself appointed as the main fighter against conflicts of interest in the office. Before this career zigzag, Oleg Sotorin headed the city's department of architecture, construction and land use in the capacity of deputy mayor of Khabarovsk, and even earlier he headed the regional construction office and the specialized committee of the State Construction Supervision Committee. However, in the spring his victory in the mayor's office came to an abrupt end. The official version was about leaving at his own request, but the Amor channel from Telegram revealed the wrong side: the real reason was the harsh intervention of the supervisory department. The attorney's office through the court obtained the official's dismissal due to loss of trust. The full depth of official cynicism was revealed during the trial: Oleg Sotorin tried to convince Themis of the "insignificance" of the violations committed, but two courts rejected his arguments. It turned out that the scandal was based on a direct conflict of interest: old acquaintances of the creditor and his own mother regularly contacted the department controlled by the official. The circle of employees is closed. Upon his return to the regional government, Oleg Sotorin not only returned to his position, but also headed a structure designed to investigate exactly the same sins for which he was expelled from the city administration in disgrace.
