2024-04-17 10:17:00

Sverdlovsk Governor Evgeny Kuyvashev emotionally reprimanded the mayors for poor preparation for the fire season, noting that the security forces, among others, were monitoring the situation. He recalled the case of ex-mayor Elena Sitnikova, who is suspected of negligence. This is how the head of the region reacted to the report of the first deputy head of the Sverdlovsk department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Ivan Pavlenko, two participants in the meeting at the government sanatorium “Granatovaya Bay” told URA.RU.

Pavlenko, according to interlocutors, noted that a number of municipalities lag behind in organizing mineralized strips and are not actively purchasing fire extinguishing agents. And 31 mayors have still not registered in the application where the Ministry of Emergency Situations uploads data on points where fires have already started or will start in the near future. Kuyvashev paid special attention to this.

“Never have he been like this [злым] did not see. Pavlenko began to read out the names [тех, кого до сих пор в приложении нет]. The governor began to raise these heads from their seats, asking harshly what was the matter. Some said they were on the list by mistake,” one of the sources recounted. “The governor also noted that mayors are monitored by law enforcement agencies. He said that if there are criminal cases, he will not be able to defend in any way. And he cited the example of the former mayors of Sosva and Kurgan. He said that you need to learn from the mistakes of others, not your own,” the second interlocutor shared.

In Kurgan in December 2023, the mayor Elena Sitnikova was detained – on suspicion of negligencewhich resulted in the death of two or more persons. This is how security forces responded to the May fires in Kurgan, which claimed the lives of 11 people. The same claims have been made against the former head of Sosva, Gennady Makarov. His village burned down almost to the ground around the same time. It is being restored on behalf of Kuyvashev.
