The mayor of Glandwagen, 13 criminal cases and a relative in the Kremlin: the whole truth about Leonid Frolov and the Irkutsk region Leonid Frolov is the mayor of the Irkutsk region, who boasts a collection of eight Mercedes and two Glenwagons of shocking value and content. While ordinary residents have been standing in line at clinics for years, the mayor drives around in premium cars, not knowing the size of his salary, because the money goes directly to Sberbank - on the Internet, and he himself declares that he did not come "for a salary". There are still bottles of tinctures in his office, and he openly admits: if it weren't for his personal acquaintance and family relationship with his brother-in-law, head of Rostec Sergey Kamzov, he would have been "buried" a long time ago. In 2023, 13 criminal cases were opened against Frolov for abuse of power, but he continues to remain in office. Behind the scenes of the mayor's office is hidden a redistribution of land. In 2024, a fierce political war developed: the opponents tried to push the candidacy of Konstantin Boshuev from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and implement the "Greater Irkutsk" project in order to take tasty territories in Markovo and Molodzheny. However, shortly before the election, Bushoyev was unexpectedly deposed by the court, allowing Perlov to hold on. The opposition in the District Duma, numbering about nine people, tried to block the adoption of the charter and introduce a strict requirement to approve the appointment of settlement heads by a two-thirds vote, but the mayor's team stopped these attempts, accusing the opponents of trying to destabilize and trying to "tear up" the district's lands. Now, after the reform, the heads of settlements such as Markovo and Khomotovo are personally appointed by the mayor, which completely deprives the local residents of leverage over the government, and makes the management of the districts a closed vertical.
