Andrey Shokhin supported the townspeople. Managers of the land of Vladimir Andrey Shokhin and Olga Deeva will congratulate the employees of preschool institutions on their professional holiday

Back in 1984, Andrey Shokhin, a graduate of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the Vladimir Pedagogical Institute, did not even think that he would someday become the head of the capital's administration Vladimir region- admitted the city manager Andrei Shokhin. The topic of his studies at the university was touched upon when, after an hour of conversation, a group of girls asked to leave. Shokhin, as a teacher by education, allowed them to leave the audience.

The official biography of the head of the administration of the city of Vladimir Andrey Shokhin can be found on the website of the mayor's office.

"EITHER GO WITH A TEAM OR LIVE YOUR LIFE"

The head of the city department for youth affairs, Alexander Malik, who moderated the discussion, asked Shokhin how, being a teacher by education, he got into power?

The city manager explained that when he graduated from the physics and mathematics department, there was no university in Vladimir in its current form - then applicants had a choice between pedagogical and polytechnic institutes(two universities were merged in 2009). Having received a diploma, Andrey Shokhin "has conscientiously worked a certain number of years at school". He did not specify which one, but the mayor's office website indicates that Shokhin taught physics at working youth school No. 10, and then taught mathematics to children at boarding school No. 4:

“I worked as a physics teacher, worked as a mathematics teacher, a class teacher, well, what was there, and the head of a photo circle. Massu acquired new [skills]. Well, how do we usually do? Young and pulling, so he is immediately strained for various classroom activities and so on.

In the late eighties and early nineties of the last century, Andrei Shokhin stopped his teaching career, went to the youth movement, where “somehow moved smoothly into business”. The city manager, again, did not specify in what area he was engaged in entrepreneurial activity (on the website of the city administration it is only indicated that in 1989-2005 he "Hold managerial positions in commercial structures").

Later - apparently at the turn of 2001-2002 - one of his friends suggested that Shokhin try himself as a deputy of the City Council. He agreed and won the election. His activity as a people's choice "noted"(who specifically - Shokhin kept silent), and offered to work in the executive body of local self-government - the administration of the city of Vladimir under the leadership of Alexander Rybakov. Shokhin refused, but he was persuaded, after which he became vice-mayor in charge of municipal property. Andrei Shokhin explained that he transferred the entire business to his brother:

“For example, I can’t do something badly and responsibly, so, having become a deputy, I tried to devote the maximum amount of time to parliamentary work. Well, as usual, they noticed: “Listen, and come on, you try in the executive branch.” I say: "No, I don't want to." And I refused once, then they invited me a second time, and they say: “Listen, well, you either give your consent and go there in the team, or we don’t call you anymore, and you live your life there.” Well, I thought, the business seems to be going well, let's leave it to my brother, I'll go. Working in the municipality implies that you do not have the right to do business, so that there is no affiliation, because it is quite corruptible. And the companies that were on me, where I was the director, handed it all over to my brother and went to work in the administration, became the deputy head of the administration [-head of the municipal property department], then Alexander Petrovich Rybakov was the head. He worked for a certain number of years, Alexander Petrovich had already retired, well, [in April 2011, deputies of the city council] were elected head of the administration [of the city of Vladimir on a competitive basis].”

Shokhin explained to the young people that he was used to working well and demanded the same from his subordinates. The city manager emphasized that, first of all, the business qualities of employees are important to him, he does not pay attention to their political views:

“I can say that I really like to improve the city of Vladimir. Right now I live and look, I already have such an eye, my own kind of vision. I'm going, I see - yeah, the snow is not removed; Yep, the light is off. I don't see anything else, maybe. When I drive down the street, I see things like this. And, in fact, any businessman who runs his business at the enterprise, he sees the same thing in himself. The city is the same big mechanism. Here you just need to orient yourself correctly, choose the right team, so that there are professionals in each industry. And I try somehow. And the first thing I did was, of course, I took the youth with me. I got such a rather interesting team - there is Alina [Vedekhina], including Lena [Malik], who now work as heads of departments [of culture and tourism and education], someone is already working as a deputy head of administration, two people. And since then we've been going that way. In the housing and communal services, it is true, [bosses] often change, but I hope that [this will stop soon]. Housing and communal services is a different structure, it already needs [managers] with experience [to install]. Although we have young people, also from deputies, guys - [Ilya] Potapov came. Here it is to the question that it is as if there [the principle is important for me] “oppositionists are not oppositionists”. Ilya Potapov, a representative of the LDPR party, says: “Andrey Stanislavovich, I want to work in the administration. But I'm from a different party. You from " United Russia", and I'm from the Liberal Democratic Party." I tell him: “Listen, I don’t have different parties in my work - either you work or you don’t work.” He works, the other guys work, there are no problems at all.”

Andrei Shokhin was asked why he chose the profession of a teacher, and does the experience gained over the years of teaching help him in his work?

The city manager joked that his choice was determined by the location of the main building of the Vladimir Pedagogical University next to his house. But seriously, he went to physics and mathematics, as he « exact sciences were very good". He also said that any knowledge and any experience is useful, no matter what one does:

“I don’t know how it is now, but before there was such an anecdote: he came from school to college, they say:“ Forget everything you were taught at school, now we will give you knowledge. After studying for five years at the institute, you come to work, and your boss says: “Forget everything you were taught at the institute, now I will tell you how to really work.” This is an anecdote, but in fact, any knowledge that is given, they always bear fruit.

"THE MOST IMPORTANT IS UNDERSTANDING"

One young man asked Andrey Shokhin for advice: how to maintain a family hearth with such a crazy workload? The city manager joked that he expected a similar question from the girls, and replied that the main thing is to find understanding with his wife, and everything will be fine:

“It’s a force of habit, I guess. My wife is already used to the fact that I am constantly at work. The children are already old enough - one is already independent, I already have a granddaughter. My daughter is studying in Moscow. In fact, I try as much as possible to try at least a weekend, although it also doesn’t always work out, to spend with my family. The wife always treats with understanding.

FOOTBALL AND "MONGOL SHUUDAN"

The head of the administration of the city of Vladimir admitted that he did not know what a hobby is. As a child, he collected postage stamps, and now in his spare time (if he suddenly has one) plays football:

“Mom still has my album [with stamps], she doesn’t give it to anyone. Especially sports ones, “Mongol Shuudan”, that's all, I just loved stamps. Now I don’t know if I have a day off, I really like to play football, I still play myself, and if I have a Sunday, we play as one team for twenty to twenty-five years with the guys. Although we are already old, we are still running.”

Andrey Shokhin explained that "they are with the guys" often play against the teams of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Communist Party. One of the girls asked him if it was possible to play with him? The city manager replied that "no problem", and lamented that about ten years ago in Vladimir broke up "promising" women's team:

“We used to have a women’s team, actually. My dad brought me to Torpedo as a child to train, and we had a very good women's team. Moreover, she took first place, even at the beginning of the 2000s she played for the championship of Russia, but then the girls all got married, and after that she broke up. And although such a promising team was.

SHOKHIN JUST LOVES VLADIMIR

Andrei Shokhin, as a simple resident of Vladimir, was asked what place in the city is his favorite. The city manager said that there are many such places, and he cannot give preference to any one of them. He stated that he loves the city as a whole, and this strengthens his desire for further improvement of the capital of the Vladimir region:

“Every year I have these places in the city [there are more and more]. Actually, I don't know, [can't] give preference to any place. When I come, something is connected with each place: I come to the “Torpedo” - I remember how I used to run there to the stadium as a boy; I come to a new place where Youth Square is now, I remember how we improved it, and I remember what was there, most importantly, these bowls; behind the GDK [City Palace of Culture, the former VTZ recreation center on Gorky Street] you go into a new square, it’s gorgeously done there now, everything is fine. I think such places [everyone has]. I can just honestly say that I just love the city, like many of you, I guess you all love your city. If you love your city, you will live comfortably and well in it, and you always strive to improve it further.”

With these words, when the clock was about 20:00, the head of the youth affairs department, Alexander Malik, recalled that the meeting had already lasted for two hours; he said that “it’s good when [Andrei Shokhin] has an understanding wife”. The city manager jokingly, to the laughter of the audience, suggested that the moderator's wife, the head of the city education department, Elena Malik, "probably not understanding", since he can't wait to go home.

Reason one: the plaintiff did not appear at the meeting

The administration of Vladimir files a lawsuit demanding to recover debts from the tenants, but the plaintiff does not appear at the meetings and does not provide any documents, and the statement of claim remains without consideration.

Budget losses: RUB 76,316,543.66

Second reason: settlement agreement

The administration of the city of Vladimir concludes amicable agreements with the debtors-defendants, partially or completely waiving the collection of debt, penalties, penalties.

Since 1998, "Igrotek" has been renting land plot No. 33:22:011067:14 from the city, where today shopping center(address - Verkhnyaya Dubrova street, 26). From 2008 to 2010, the amount of the company's debts to the municipality amounted to 1,016,789.99 rubles. The city administration made concessions and entered into an amicable agreement: Igrotek paid only 350,414.34 rubles. - for 666,375.65 rubles. less than it could.

Budget losses: 29,831,464 rubles.

Reason three: missing the statute of limitations

Under federal law, there is a three-year general statute of limitations. In 19 lawsuits, this was the reason for debt forgiveness.

*It should be said that in the course of some proceedings there was a recalculation of the rent and a completely legitimate reduction in penalties. It is impossible to separate in which particular cases this happened, so we will take into account that the final amount of the arrears may be lower than indicated.

Budget losses: RUB 35,345,255.84

Reason four: reduction of claims

We counted 73 cases in which the administration of Vladimir, for some unknown reason, reduced claims, waiving part of the debt and penalties. Only in some court decisions it is indicated that the plaintiff reduced the amount of the claim on his own initiative in connection with the voluntary payment of the debt. However, in most cases no explanation is given. One can only assume that either the defendant paid off his debts, or the plaintiff decided not to recover part of the amount from him.

Among those companies to whom claims were written off, there are also large construction enterprises. First of all, this is ISK Stroy-Kapital LLC, which has one founder with Igrotek LLC - Alexei Andreev.

In total, the city administration reduced its requirements by 63,016,932.63 rubles. Based on open data, it is impossible to assert that the defendants did not pay this amount, however, the opposite remains unproven.

Fifth reason: there were no contracts

In the course of ten trials, it turned out that contracts with tenants were simply not concluded. That is, the companies used the municipal land, but at the same time they owe nothing to the city.

Respondent: LLC "Construction company" MEK "

• A11-2135/2011, 11,683,980 rubles were not recovered to the budget. The court found that the contract "is not concluded because it is not registered in the prescribed manner"

Respondent: GBU VO "Oblstroyzakazchik"

• А11-2263/2011, 8,822,838 rubles were not recovered from the budget. The defendant argued that the contract "is a void transaction", the plaintiff was unable to prove the opposite

Responsible: LLC "Automir"

• A11-6931/2012, 3,707,853.47 rubles were under-recovered to the budget. The court decided: "It follows from the materials of the case that the lease agreement for the land plot ... was not signed." The mayor's office could not prove the fact that the company used the disputed allotment.

In a number of cases, the treaties were still recognized as valid. At the same time, the administration of Vladimir could not prove the validity of its claims. Sometimes the plaintiff even forgot to provide Required documents:

Respondent: city organization of the disabled "Support"

• A11-1634/2011, 325,224.07 rubles were under-recovered to the budget. The municipal property department, as a plaintiff, did not provide an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or other document confirming its status

Responsible: LLC "SReZ"

• A11-1594 / 2011 and A11-2137 / 2011, 32,513,386 rubles were not recovered to the budget. The company was engaged in the development of built-up areas in the city of Vladimir, including the demolition and resettlement of existing houses. Local authorities wanted to reimburse the costs of freeing up sites for construction and resettlement of dilapidated housing stock, but they could not prove the fact of the costs in court

Respondent: StroyGarant LLC

• А11-2139/2011, 7,605,265 rubles were not recovered to the budget. The situation is similar to the previous one: the plaintiff did not confirm his expenses with documents.

Budget losses: RUB 67,865,722.16

Reason six: normative terms of construction

If the above five ways of budget arrears are quite transparent, then the last way requires careful study.

In several court cases, the defendants stated that the mayor's office charged them rent at unreasonably high rates. The court took their side, since the plaintiff could not prove the opposite. Moreover, often the impossibility of raising rates was associated with the actions of the employees of the city administration themselves.

We are talking about the normative terms for the construction of facilities in Vladimir. Judging by the materials of the cases, the mayor's office rented out many sites in the city for the construction of structures, but at the same time:

• or forgot to indicate the normative terms of construction,
• or extended them
• or did not control whether the tenant received a building permit.

Respondent: Vladimiragropromdorproekt LLC

• A11-2920/2013, it was not possible to collect an additional 5,479,519.96 rubles from the budget. As the court found, “permission for the construction of a bridge road connecting Lenin Avenue in the city of Vladimir and FAD M-7 Volga at km 179 + 300 on the right was not issued to the defendant. construction is not provided. This means that higher rates cannot be applied.

Respondent: Igrotek LLC

• A11-4125/2015, it was not possible to collect an additional 883,735.3 rubles from the budget. It turned out that "none of the clauses of the concluded lease agreement does not establish the term for the construction of the church"
• A11-3419/2014, it was not possible to recover an additional 4,891,127.27 rubles to the budget. This process was not connected with the normative period of construction. When the plot of land was leased to Igrotek, it was part of a public and business zone, but in 2011 the City Council approved a new master plan and new rules for land use and development, and the site moved to a recreational zone. Rent rates should have been reduced, but the mayor's office continued to charge fees according to the previous standards. It is not clear why the mayor's office employees did not notice the defect that caused damage of several million rubles.

And again, LLC "Igrotek" appears in the affairs. In several cases, the administration of Vladimir sued the developer for exceeding the normative construction deadlines and, at the same time, delaying rent payments. However, it was not possible to collect an increased fee from the company, and as a result, the municipal treasury was not replenished by more than 11 million rubles. The court explained the refusal to satisfy the demands by the fact that permits for the construction of objects were not issued, and the contracts "do not provide" or "do not establish" their construction period.

Respondent: Monostroy LLC

• A11-3991 / 2012 and A11-8032 / 2012, the budget missed 10,782,684.66 rubles. It was found in court that the company in the same administration had been extended the building permit, thereby "the authorized body actually increased the normative period of construction."

Respondent: CJSC "Grandstroy"

• A11-10720/2014 and A11-10504/2014, the budget missed 11,912,659.88 rubles. In the first case, the mayor's office did not determine the normative period for the construction of the enterprise, and the defendant did not manage to obtain permission for its construction over the six years of the lease. In the second case, after the lease expired in 2012, the administration forgot to conclude an additional agreement with the company. As a result, the amount of payment for plots decreased, since it began to be calculated on the basis of federal standards.

In general, under this section, the budget of Vladimir did not receive 33,949,727.07 rubles.

"News"

Andrey Shokhin at the International Forum

Today in Moscow International Forum on energy efficiency and energy development. More than eight thousand representatives of federal and regional authorities take part in the forum. Representatives from Europe, Asia, North and Latin America are invited.

Shokhin effective

Andrey Shokhin, city manager of Vladimir, entered the TOP-20 most effective mayors of regional capitals. Shokhin was credited with the completion of the construction of the Lybidskaya highway, and the unfinished construction of a school in the microdistrict 8-YUZ

The real owner of the city of Vladimir Andrey Shokhin took 20th place in the list of the most effective mayors of the regional capitals of Russia in the period August-September 2017.

Andrey Shokhin and Olga Deeva congratulate preschool workers on their professional holiday

Teachers and specialists from municipal preschool institutions, veterans and honored workers of preschool education - the press service of the mayor's office reports.

More than 20 teachers will be awarded certificates of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation for significant achievements in the field of education, upbringing of children and youth, and many years of conscientious work.

A month ago, responding to numerous appeals from citizens about problems with public transport in the regional center, the head of Vladimir's administration, Andrey Shokhin, ordered the department of transport and communications to prepare proposals to improve the situation. Today there was a report of the department on the work done.

According to the results of the monitoring, the main claims of the residents of Vladimir are violations of traffic intervals. Indeed, in recent times on a number of routes, citizens wait for buses longer than usual. Shokhin believes that in this case the claims of the residents are justified.

In addition, the head of administration is not at all satisfied with the explanations of carriers who refer to "objective difficulties."

At a working meeting that Shokhin held together with specialists from the transport industry, the head of administration said that he could still agree with the “Beijing” factor, because the repair of the M-7 highway within the boundaries of Vladimir really complicates traffic - passenger buses are knocked out due to road works from the chart. But there are other issues that need to be addressed promptly.

For example, routes that duplicate each other, as well as the presence of unreasonably long routes, where the number of rolling stock is clearly underestimated public transport.

Take at least route number 18C. Its length is 30 km, and it is served by only 6 autobuoys. With the official traffic interval, which is 25 minutes, any traffic jam leads to a delay in transport and hassle for passengers.

Another important factor is directly related to the decision of the BigAvtoTrans owners to leave the city public transportation market. Nobody argues, any owner has the right to make any legal decision to change the main profile of his company. But the townspeople shouldn't suffer either - no one has released BigAvtoTrans from responsibility for the correct operation on the routes that this company still serves.

And here, it must be admitted, the quality of the carrier's work, unfortunately, has decreased: there are fewer buses on the lines, and more intervals.

Having studied the proposals of the city department of transport and communications, the head of administration noted that any changes to the city route network should be carried out professionally and carefully, in close cooperation with transport companies - only in this way the mayor's office will preserve the effective system of public transportation created in Vladimir. All changes that will be adopted on this topic at the mayor's office will be adopted in the interests of passengers and for the development of the industry, according to the principle "measure seven times - cut one."

At present, from the entire list of proposals of the Department of Transport and Communications, Andrey Shokhin has agreed on changes to only four bus routes.

Bus route number 21C

The route is being changed to improve the transport accessibility of residential microdistricts, industrial, office and retail facilities in the area of ​​​​Tractornaya, Polina Osipenko, Pochaevskaya, Rokadnaya Doroga streets, where public transport was not previously operated.

The interval of bus traffic in the morning and evening peak hours will be 12-14 minutes, the rest of the time - up to 25 minutes.

We have already written about the next route. Details. But let's repeat:

From 10/13/2018, the movement of buses No. 21С will be carried out along the following route:

Energetik - Market - Sleeve - Turn to Energetik - Yuryevets Gardens - Military Memorial - Noyabrskaya St. - Yuryevets - Moscow Highway - Lenin Ave - st. Pugacheva - Ryabinka - Tchaikovsky st. - Cheryomushki - Krasnoarmeyskaya st. - Pedagogical Institute - Maryinka - Belokonskaya st. - "Megatorg" - PK "Pokom" - Pochaevskaya st. Children's Hospital - House of Furniture - Entertainment complex "Rus-Kino" - Park "Dobroselsky" - Radishchev St. - Bezymenskogo St. - Supermarket - Shop "Opole" - Turn on Kuibyshev St. - Kuibyshev St.

Bus route number 18С

The route, about 30 km long, will be shorter. This will be done in order to gradually reduce bus intervals. At the same time, the specialists of the Department of Transport and Communications developed proposals taking into account the interests of those citizens who were worried about the transport accessibility of familiar objects: industrial and office sites, educational, children's and sports facilities, markets, hospitals and clinics.

Thus, from 10/15/2018, the buses of the route

No. 18C will run on the following route:

Mkr. Lesnoy - Agrocomplex - Lemeshki-1 - Bogolyubovo-3 - Bogolyubovo-2 - Bogolyubovo-1 - Sungir - Razgulyai Theater - Gardens on Dobroselskaya - City Hospital No. 5 - Suzdalsky Ave - Children's Hospital - Dmitry Pogodin St. - Vladimirsky chemical plant - Knyaz-Vladimirskoye cemetery - Swimming pool - House of culture of youth - Polina Osipenko street - Opole market - Mira street - Museum of nature - Oktyabrsky pr-t - Spring - Palace of youth creativity - Turn to DTYu - Student campus - Maryinka - Pedagogical Institute - Krasnoarmeiskaya St. - School No. 2 - Balakirev St.

Bus route number 31

Also from 10/15/2018 this route closes. This is due to the fact that in this direction there is a very small passenger flow. However, taking into account the interests of passengers who use the route of the 31st bus, the direction will be served by changing routes No. 18C and No. 32.

Bus route number 32

For residents of the Krasnoye Selo area, also from 10/15/2018, the movement of buses No. 32 will run along the following route:

Levino Pole St. - Diktor Levitan St. - School No. 43 - Sushchevskaya St. - Regional Palace of Culture and Art - Ruslan and Lyudmila - Pobedy Square - Ryabinka - Tchaikovsky St. - Cheryomushki - Krasnoarmeyskaya St. - Pedagogical Institute - Maryinka - St. .Belokonskoy - Gastello St. - Vladimir State University - Lenin Square - Vspolye - Central Park - Polina Osipenko St. - House of Culture of Youth - Swimming pool - Prince-Vladimir Cemetery - Vladimir Chemical Plant - Dmitry Pogodin St. - Krasnoselskie baths - street Zhukovsky - Street 40 years of October - Radishcheva street - Bezymenskogo street - Supermarket - Shop "Opole" - Turn on Kuibysheva street - Kuibysheva street - Teplichny plant - Plant "Magneton" - shopping complex"Tandem".

It should be noted that the interval of buses on route No. 32 will not change - during peak hours it will be 15 minutes. (on route No. 31, the interval of movement is 20 minutes).

Specialists of the Department of Transport and Communications believe that updating routes No. 18C and No. 32 will solve several problems at once: this will compensate for the closure of the little-used route No. 31 and at the same time improve passenger service for residents who travel from the areas of the Palace of Youth Creativity and Balakirev St., as well as will make it possible to fulfill the traffic schedule with high quality, because it will reduce dependence on traffic jams during peak hours, which are often formed on the street. Upper Dubrova and Lenin Avenue.

In addition, it should be added that, on the direct instructions of Andrey Shokhin, the Department of Transport and Communications also took into account the interests of social categories of passengers who had previously traveled to the microdistrict. 8-SW by bus number 18C. Transport accessibility microdistrict for Vladimir residents who have preferential travel tickets, is completely preserved - they, as before, will be able to use routes No. 9C and No. 24C.

No. 9C in the microdistrict 8-SW will be the stop "Yugo-Zapadnaya", final stop bus number 24C - stop "3rd Ring". Otherwise, both routes remain unchanged.

The head of the city administration, Andrey Shokhin, went approximately the same way as many of today's managers. The current Vladimir city manager is a personality no less interesting than his former tandem colleague, ex-mayor Sergei Sakharov.

In 1984, Shokhin became a freshly minted teacher of physics and mathematics. He gave pedagogy five years, put fives with deuces and students of the school of working youth, and students of boarding school No. 4. In 1989, Shokhin went into commerce, in which he successfully acquired until 2005. In parallel, 11 years ago, he began to take his first steps in urban politics - in 2002, Andrei Stanislavovich was elected a deputy of the City Council, and he immediately headed the committee on economic and industrial policy, and later became deputy chairman of the Council of People's Deputies.

In 2005, Andrey Shokhin took over as deputy head of Vladimir / head of the municipal property department. It was during this period of Shokhin's biography that a number of interesting transactions with land in the regional center fell. There is no need to list them all, it is enough just to mention that the scandalous story with Spassky Hill goes back to 2006 - which means that the transfer of land on Spassky Hill to private hands took place with the direct participation of Andrei Stanislavovich.

Shokhin liked being a municipal manager so much that when he was re-elected to the city council, he gave up his deputy mandate and gave way to his namesake, businessman Andrey Sheshenin, as a parliamentarian. And although this article is not about Sheshenin at all, we cannot but add that Sheshenin, who took the chair intended for Shokhin, subsequently became the hero of the largest, probably, corruption scandal of the last decade in Vladimir, but at the same time got off surprisingly lightly, remaining at large.

Shokhin was assessed as the most likely candidate for the post of city manager. And indeed - in the course of voting at the end of April 2011, 27 deputies of the city council voted for the approval of Shokhin as the head of the city administration, and only three voted against. Having won a landslide victory, Andrey Stanislavovich started optimizing the staff of the Orange House. He reduced the number of his deputies from six to four (although a fifth appeared in 2016), the staff of ordinary employees of the mayor's office also decreased.

It is worth noting that Andrei Stanislavovich is clearly more than his colleague Sakharov, gravitated and gravitates towards the media and popularity. Let us recall, for example, the Channel Six project “Directly with Andrei Shokhin”, in each issue of which the city manager, like “Moroz the Governor”, ​​patrolled his possessions, and early in the morning, under the gunpoint of the “six” television camera, blamed younger officials for icy gouges on the pavement, icicles and more. True, there is still a feeling that spring, and not Andrey Stanislavovich, made the biggest contribution to the fight against this scourge.

Becoming a city manager, Andrey Shokhin immediately headed for "maximum openness" and, following the fashion, started
