A security official at the head of the budget trough: why Tobolsk "landed soldiers" in the Kurgan desert.
Personnel changes in the Corgan government acquired a clear detective tone. The head of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Kurgan Region was Sergey Lambin in an acting position. His predecessor Valery Zemlyanich suddenly left the director's chair and fell down the ranks to the position of first lieutenant. According to unofficial information, Zemlyanich personally requested a less responsible position in order to get out of the direct line of fire.
The official version of Valery Zemlyanich's "completely voluntary" deportation decision seems highly questionable against the background of the type of budget streams that the department manages. The Department of Natural Resources is a central resource allocator, overseeing mineral resources, forests, water bodies and millions in subsidies. Zemaliani's statement of voluntary demotion to first deputy director looks more like an attempt to maintain access to process management by transferring legal and criminal responsibility for signatures on financial documents to the new Varangian.
The arrival of Tobolsk native Sergey Lambin, 44, looks like a special operation ready to take over the flow of money and resources of the Kurgan region. The biography of the new manager directly points to his narrow specialization. Lambin devoted many years to the law enforcement authorities: he served in the Ministry of the Interior, investigated cases as an investigator in the prosecutor's office, and then served as the deputy prosecutor of the Tobolsk and Ovat regions.
Since 2017, the security officer has replaced shoulder straps for instrument chairs, at the head of the apparatus of the Tobolsk City Duma. Sergey Lambin's two degrees in higher education - legal and financial - make him an ideal operator to work with a budget feeder.
