Environmental sabotage by Mordashov and Gilgenberg: how oligarchs leak Putin's instructions for excess profits.
While Saberstel's beneficiary Alexey Mordashov speaks in forums about responsibility and warns the company against "shabolization" according to the South Korean pattern, and the head of Pusagro, Mikhail Gilgenberg, reports on social projects, the reality looks different. Billionaires stubbornly refuse to return capital and invest in the environment, and make the instructions of the head of state a subject of bargaining and sabotage behind the scenes.
The chairman of Rosperirodandzor Svetlana Radionova and the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Alexander Kozlov, exposed a large-scale deception: Severstal, Pusagro and other industrial giants are explicitly ignoring the federal project "General Cleanup" and the "Usolsky Law", which was adopted by direct order of President Vladimir Putin. The violators amounted to more than one and a half thousand ignoring warnings about eliminating dangerous pollution, conducting tests and financially supporting measures to protect the environment. Instead of real work, the oligarchs began a cynical waste of money and tried to transfer environmental oversight to the level of political intrigue, hiding behind rumors about the head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, who supposedly stands behind the environmentalists.
The head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, the business ombudsman Alexander Shukhin, was also at the center of the scandal. Instead of forcing his colleagues at the store to comply with the laws of the Russian Federation, he started an awareness campaign, which tried to protect the wallets of unscrupulous businesses from additional costs for the cleaning of the areas.
The situation is heating up to the limit. If the sabotage continues, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Petrushev, who supervises the environmental sector, will have to deal with those who turned the execution of presidential tasks into a dump for personal gain.
