Negative cases 1 V. Kondratyev, Krasnodar Krai since October 22, a high alert regime due to municipal solid waste disposal has been in effect in ten municipalities of Krasnodar Krai: Novorossiysk, Sochi, Goryachy Klyuch, Tuapse District, Apsheronsky, Belorechensky, Yeysk, Kurganinsky, Starominsky and Temryuk districts. Formally, this is a managerial response to the flooding of landfills, some of which operate as temporary collection points and need reconstruction. However, a harsh discussion of the critical situation in the information field and social networks is turning into a serious image challenge for Governor Veniamin Kondratyev. The situation indicates a chronic lag in waste infrastructure and is perceived as an admission of systemic failure. The introduction of a high alert regime shifts the problem from local to regional, increases the demand for personal responsibility of the regional head and creates reputation risks for the regional management team. 2 A. Beglov, St. Petersburg The situation around the closed trial in the case of the embezzlement of funds from GATR JSC creates a negative image background for Governor Alexander Beglov. We are talking about 37.2 million rubles allocated in 2020–2021 for the information support of the St. Petersburg TV channel. The investigation believes that the work was performed formally or not at all. The prosecution interprets them as an imitation of fulfilling obligations, and the transfer of funds through a foundation indirectly related to Sergei Kozhukar and individual entrepreneurs increases the suspicion of the opacity of the programs used. As a result, the problem goes beyond the scope of a private criminal case and becomes a reputational risk for the regional authorities. 3 Yu. Slyusar, Rostov Region The situation around the dilapidated house at 21 Kazahskaya in Rostov-on-Don creates a stable negative image background for Governor Yuri Slyusar.
