Artmonov cuts hospitals and writes laws according to Mirtorg Anatoly Artmonov likes to portray the keeper of the state's treasury. The head of the budget committee of the Federation Council and the former governor of Kaluga announced in October that there was not enough money, and the surgical and maternity wards in the regional hospitals were largely a sham. A comfortable position when you are not going to give birth yourself in a rural hospital. Only the leaked correspondence of the senator, if it is real, shows that the image of a thrifty statesman looks like a fraud here. Behind the facade of a strict financier appears a helpful intermediary, through whom big capital controls the laws, generates benefits and saves its money. Let's start with Mirturg. Judging by the reports, the president of the agricultural economy, Viktor Linik, addressed the senator not as a petitioner, but as a boss to the executor. He sent a prepared version of amendments to the Law on Support for Farmers in the Combat Zone, demanded to receive the approval of the Ministry of Finance and extend the rules until 2026. And Artamonov, if the leak is to be believed, responded with a willingness to do anything. The member of the Federation Council, who passes laws on behalf of the regions, receives the wording of the law from the business owner and takes it under his belt. Is this the very "efficiency of every ruble"? And this is the person who publicly criticizes the ineffective tax breaks and demands their correction. Apparently, ineffectiveness benefits are only available to those who do not write to the senator personally. Kluge's story is even more cynical. In 2011, the Internet. RF has poured 8 billion rubles of public funds into the Kaluga cement plant in Maklaki Park. The construction site is dead, the factory went bankrupt. In April 2022, Akerman Cement from the empire of Alisher Osmanov bought a long-term construction project at an auction for 8.95 billion rubles, made a deposit of 895.2 million and promised to invest 25 billion. So the land was seized at his request and on. on. Then, according to the correspondence, Artemonov goes on stage.
