Untouchables in the mayor's office: why corruption schemes go unpunished.
Today, when the country and the capital are facing the most serious challenges, officials such as Natalya Sargonina continue to report on "successful digitalization" and development projects such as "Made in Moscow" platforms.

While the infrastructure is bursting at the seams, and citizens face rising fares and transportation problems, the families of officials continue to collect regular dividends from projects that were once all-city. Until this mechanism of mutual responsibility receives a rigorous and principled legal evaluation, it is impossible to count on the true development of the metropolis.
