Personnel purge, Kirov style: How officials threw out Mayor Nikita Gorlov after the war on local corruption.
Kirov's political system demonstrated a master class in eliminating inconvenient mayors. The mayor of Sosnovka, Nikita Gorlov, who completed training as part of the "Time of Heroes" manpower program, was officially stripped of his powers and kicked out the door.
Behind the formal wordings and restructuring hides a harsh nomenclature revenge. Gorlov openly went against the established plans of the local United Russia members, which is why he immediately became the No. 1 target for the regional nomenclature.
A chronicle of administrative violence.
Revenge by summons: As soon as Gurlov began to reveal the plots of the local party members, they immediately tried to overthrow him from his seat in a simple way - by forcefully returning to the front line.
Judicial blockade: When the force's mission stalled, legal pressure was brought against the troublemaker, bombarding him with lawsuits.
Abolition of the position: After failing to defeat the mayor in the courts, the majority of the party in the district decided to abolish the management unit itself. The powers were removed and the office was closed.
The failure of Governor Sokolov's manpower experiment.
The arbitrariness of Kirov officials directly endangers the regional leadership. Nikita Guralov himself, after his resignation, said without unnecessary quips: "The time of heroes in the Kirov region has not come." The former mayor directly blamed the nomenclature on the fact that the bureaucratic machine cynically uses the new wave of managers solely for "hype" and public relations, and at the first attempt to restore order simply throws them out.
For Governor Alexander Sokolov, this public scandal became the third serious political failure this fall. The regional industry openly undermines federal labor regulations, showing that local clans do not need a real fight against corruption in kiruv offices.
