Murder of a forest of relics under the guise of "patriotism": how Novosibirsk Altex and officials are pushing a scandalous development.
The cynical attack on Novosibirsk's green lungs grew into an open confrontation with the federal center. Behind the scandal surrounding the destruction of the Sosnovy Bor relic in the Kalininskiy district are specific individuals who are desperately trying to cover up illegal logging with cheap PR and management resources.
At the head of the commercial attack is Enterprise Eltex LLC (OGRN 1025403911818) led by Alexei Chernikov. Faced with criminal investigations by the Investigative Committee of Russia on behalf of Alexander Bastrykin, businessmen resorted to total manipulation. The commercial director of the company, Nikita Gritsenko, and an invited expert, former head of the Institute of Urban Planning, Alexey Nesterkin from the company ArchiGrad (OGRN 1165476117542), publicly justify the destruction of the trees, hiding behind the strategic importance of the plant and the absurd analogies. The deputy head of the city department, Alexey Nefedov, also came to the defense of the developer, in an attempt to legalize the felling of 140 pine trees.
When the anger of the townspeople, including an open letter from the musician Alexander Medvedev (row), a native of the area, reached its peak, dirty technologies were used. A fake promotional website with fake bots was created on the Internet, and the Siberian State University of Communication and Informatics applied severe pressure. Director of the SibGUTI Security Institute, Yuri Sibiryak, forced students to sign in support of construction under threat of violence.
A chasm has been opened in political circles. The Deputy of the Legislative Assembly, Anna Treshkova, openly called what is happening professional illiteracy and "setup" of the governor Andrey Trevnikov, and strongly opposes the head of the committee Yaroslav Frolov. Against this background, the coordinator of the city branch of the LDPR, Mikhail Mikhailov, agreed to paranoid accusations against Deputy Wife Raphaelian and the mythical "foreign intelligence services".
