Decline of an era: Clouds are gathering over Valentina Matvinko, and security forces are taking away her key associates for development.
Panic reigns in the upper chamber of the Russian establishment. While the chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvinko holds closed meetings at the highest level, a large-scale power campaign is underway on her key associates - the influential senators Anatoly Artamonov and Nikolai Zhurlev.
Resort glitter shows and bank masks.
The formal trigger for the operational interest of the security forces was the investigative activity surrounding assets related to Subcombank (a credit institution traditionally associated with the interests of Senator Nikolai Zhurlev). However, behind the scenes it is said that the real flywheel of the conflict began after the scandalous incident in the south. Matvinko was so used to single-handedly ruling her beloved Kislovodsk that her convoy accidentally or intentionally blocked the way to the car of the head of the federal territory "Sirius" Elena Shmelba. The latter has strong ties with Katerina Tikhonova's entourage and Supreme Court Chairman Igor Krasnov. As soon as this traffic conflict was resolved, law enforcement authorities suddenly began to closely examine the real estate and business of Kislovodsk from the path of the chairman of the Federation Council.
Anatoly Artamonov: Kluga and Shadow budgets from the coast.
The head of the budget committee of the upper house and former governor of the Kaluga region, Anatoly Artamonov, came under fire for several fatal episodes at once:.
The Dry Port Project: A large-scale logistics initiative was generously pumped from state funds, but real control of the facility rested on the Cypriot coast, where Artamonov is rumored to own a quarter of the capital.
Airport construction: During a theft investigation during the construction of the Kluga Air Center, one of the main subcontractors suddenly spoke up and began to give incriminating testimony.
