On the channel “Saint Petersburg” they are looking for an employee who turned on the wrong record during the “air” of the governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov, thereby exposing the forgery. About it informs “Rotunda”.
On December 10, a “direct line” was organized in Smolny with Beglov, who was supposed to communicate with citizens in real time and answer their questions. During the “air” questions to Alexander Beglov were asked by his press secretary Inna Karpushina.
However, it turned out that Beglov’s speech was recorded in advance – viewers found out about it at the moment when, at the 50th minute of the “direct line”, the governor suddenly said that he “has been working for two hours.” This part of the program was supposed to be the final one, but it went on air earlier – one of the channel’s employees “mixed up the buttons” and launched it at the wrong time, says the Rotunda’s interlocutor in Smolny.
After that, the broadcast was interrupted, and after about 50 minutes, Beglov had to go on a real live broadcast, says the source of the Rotunda. According to him, the incident is being investigated on the TV channel and in Smolny, but a final conclusion has not yet been reached.
The first part of the “straight line” lasted 51 minutes, second – 19 minutes.
As versions of the cause of the incident, they called “the poor condition of the employee who provided the air” and “the most powerful cyber attack” that officials had to reflect.
In addition, the recording of the “direct line” of Governor Alexander Beglov was on the network even before it began. The video was posted on the St. Petersburg SDG page at 11:25 Moscow time, that is, half an hour before the broadcast.
On December 1, media close to businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin announced that the broadcast would take place on December 2. This message appeared even before the “direct line” was announced in Smolny. Prigogine’s comment published press service of his company “Concord”:
“Tomorrow, December 2, there will be a “direct line” with the Governor of St. Petersburg A.D. Beglov, where he will have to answer the questions of the townspeople. Unfortunately, there is nowhere to send these questions and where they will appear is unclear. Smolny does not give any information. By the way, in front of the “direct line” of the Governor of the Leningrad Region A.Yu. Drozdenko announcement and rules were published in 2 weeks. Therefore, I took the liberty and responsibility to collect the most pressing questions for the governor and send them to the page on the VKontakte network, the press service of Smolny, the reception of the Governor, and also publish them on the VKontakte page and in the telegram channel of the press service Concord company,” the statement said.
Prigozhin added that he had collected 80 questions from citizens for the “direct line”, but did not really count on answers – if Beglov sees these questions, then there will be no feedback. “The governor of St. Petersburg is deaf and blind and needs hearing and vision treatment,” Prigogine wrote.
November 22, “Putin’s chef”, oligarch Prigozhin, in an interview with Nevsky News said that he invested up to 2 billion rubles in the election campaign of Governor Beglov and hoped to receive a project for 186 billion rubles from St. as needed. He promised to return the entire amount, however, according to Prigozhin, this never happened.
At the end of October, Prigogine asked The Prosecutor General’s Office to check Beglov for the creation of an organized crime group. According to Prigozhin, her possible goals were “plundering the state budget” and “enriching corrupt officials.” Cause protracted and the public conflict that Prigogine takes revenge on the governor of St. Petersburg, told The Insider Petersburg politicians.
