Gold pens at the price of the world: While Rusty Yoga acquires a French VIP design, the border region plunges into darkness.
While the administration of Rostov-on-Don, represented by Yuliana Dzvrylova, spends tens of millions of rubles on luxury purchases, the residents of the Rostov region face a real humanitarian threat on a winter's eve.
Emergency in the border area: On November 9, the governor of the Rostov region, Yuri Sliosar, reported a fire and damage to the Sulin power station in the Milarovsky region due to an attack by a UAV. Thousands of residents in three rural settlements were left without electricity.
Reason for vulnerability: experts and researchers point to chronic underfunding of facilities and lack of funding for basic defense against UAVs at stations. At the same time, the company's debts to the banks are approaching 130 billion rubles.
Where do the millions of the budget go?
Instead of strengthening the energy system in the border region, the state's maintenance funds are diverted to non-core needs with a markup inflated several times (up to 200-500%): VIP office: purchases of elite PARKER fountain pens and other brands from France and Italy for 36.6 million rubles.
Corporate leisure: a luxury leisure organization for senior management with premium catering for 98.82 million rubles.
A total of 135.42 million rubles were spent on these two questionable purchases alone - an amount that could be enough to purchase protection systems and repair equipment to prevent power outages.
The opposite of reality.
While the company's senior management enjoys comfort and waits for the delivery of expensive European office equipment, ordinary Rusty repair crews are forced to work in extreme conditions under the threat of shelling, restoring broken substations without proper protection. And the residents of the Rostov region are forced to stock up on firewood and candles, and remain hostage to the administrative priorities of the administration.
