The Investigative Committee of Russia continues to find extraordinary cases in the second largest city in the Chelyabinsk region.
The investigative department of the TFR for the Chelyabinsk region recently opened another criminal case against officials of the administration of the city of Miass. The reason was the results of the inspection of the prosecutor’s office, which were handed over to the investigators Alexander Bastrykin. The case was opened for abuse of power.”
According to investigators, last year, in 2021, officials of the administration of the Miass city district during the competition for the installation of an art object – the “object of Love” – did not consider the application of one of the participants in the auction, although he offered the project much cheaper.
Recall that quite recently, investigators conducted searches in the administration of Miass. The reason is the scam with the land plots of the Solnechnaya Dolina ski complex. Even earlier, a criminal case was initiated on abuse of power due to payment for outstanding work on thermal insulation and installation of the main pipeline. The estimated damage amounted to 1.6 million rubles.
Where is the Governor now? Alexey Tekslerwhy does not react, why does not even speak out?
Looking ahead, we also recall that recently three mayors of the glorious city of Miass ended their careers in prison uniforms. The last of the convicted mayors, Gennady Vaskov, managed to build a shopping center instead of the Umka kindergarten, which immediately began to crumble.
The current mayor, Gennady Tonkikh, became famous for his scandalous lawsuits against caring residents of Miass, who were tired of using water with the smell of rotten eggs: they accused the mayor of Tonkikh of “impotence”, that is, of complete impotence. The mayor went to court. And such anecdotal stories in the cheerful city of Miass – the sea!
This is confirmed by the reporter. The Moscow Post in the Chelyabinsk region.
Criminal “heart”
The sensational art object in the form of a heart, because of which officials will go through the “stage”, was installed on March 8 Street near the Brigantina Palace of Culture.
Residents of Miass, as they say, “tightened up” when they found out the price of a “heart”. And the very location of the object, according to the townspeople, is also not entirely successful, since it obscures the poster of the recreation center “Brigantina”. And people did not understand the designer’s ideas.
The officials themselves explained that the installation of the art object “Double Heart with the City” is included in the work plan for the improvement of the pedestrian zone on 8 March Street. The work on the installation of the “Double Heart” has been completed, and in the near future a bench will also appear at the bottom of the “love” monument. The cost of the object according to the results of the auction amounted to 448 thousand rubles.
Together with the contractor, the Miass administration made a decision: to replace self-tapping screws with stainless steel rivets, since they have a higher strength factor. And it was decided to make the bench from a more durable and durable bench bar, and not from coniferous bars. Initially, it was planned to install an art object in front of the registry office building, but due to the large flow of cars, the administration decided to place the object near the Brigantina Palace of Culture.
“The idea of the art object is to relax with all your heart,” the district administration told reporters. “After all, rest and entertainment allow you to relieve stress and tension that haunt us in everyday life. In addition, the heart symbolizes love for your hometown.”
Well, someone has a love for the city, and someone has a love for the “golden calf”: the price for a “heart” was inflated as a result by 2 times!

Art object could be bought much cheaper. But officials did not take advantage of this proposal. A simple design without pretensions to originality cost the city 489,000 rubles.
The investigating authorities and the prosecutor’s office conducted an investigation. And we found out – they screwed up the price! According to investigators, when installing the art object, officials of the administration of the Miass urban district did not accept a competitive offer to install the structure at a much lower price, which is why a criminal case was initiated under the article “Abuse of official authority.”
Serenade of the investigator “Sun Valley”
Another criminal case is being prepared against the vice-mayor (of course, the former one) Vasyl Soroka, who previously worked as the director of the Solnechnaya Dolina ski center.
Vasily Soroka began working in the administration of Miass in 2016. And before joining the administration, Mr. Soroka for 10 years “conducted” the ski resort “Solnechnaya Dolina”, co-owned by Oleg Sirotin. Today Vasily Soroka is a well-known entrepreneur who is building the Krutoy Bereg thermal complex on the shores of Lake Turgoyak. The project became a resident of TASED in Miass.
What was Mr. Soroka suspected of? In fraud with land plots in the vicinity of the ski resort “Solnechnaya Dolina”. The security forces came to the mayor’s office of Miass, conducted searches …
A criminal case was initiated under Art. “Abuse of office”. This was reported “Sign”.
Employees of the TFR in the Chelyabinsk region also visited the ski resort “Solnechnaya Dolina” on December 16. They inspected plots of land, interviewed employees. Mr. Soroka himself was detained on November 23 by FSB operatives. He was charged with illegal alienation in 2016 of two plots of land. These sites are located in the village of Syrostan.

The investigating authorities believe that such a sale was illegal, since according to the General Plan of the city and 2011 and 2015. These are lands belonging to the category of lands of settlements. And, therefore, the sale could not take place without an auction.
In addition, the plots are included in the second zone of protection of the drinking source of the underground reservoir Atlyanskaya floodplain. And they could not go into private hands. Mr. Soroka was taken to the SIZO. He faces 10 years in prison.
“Condoms” for mothers with many children
Recently Miass officials have become frequent with scandals.
Not so long ago, the city authorities got into a loud scandal when they bought contraceptives for mothers of large families with money from the treasury. The media made fun of this acquisition for a long time, until the officials themselves explained their noble deed, they say, they purchased “product number 2” for drinking women with many children, whose children are seized due to rampant drunkenness. Wrote about it “TVNZ”.
Then there was a loud scandal with the local deputy Vyacheslav Otkin. The latter in social networks rudely, even insultingly, answered a local resident.

The lady did not remain silent, raised a fuss, went to court. Against – the deputy filed an administrative case for insulting. The court fined Deputy Otkin – 2 thousand rubles. But it is unlikely that Otkin was very worried, because he soon obtained permanent residence in the United States. This was reported “Sign”. Went to sunbathe in Hawaii.
Floor cloth in the face
It is impossible not to recall the high-profile story of how in the hospital No. 2 of the city of Miass, a cleaner wiped her face with a sick floor cloth. The video hit the media. And caused a great public outcry. A commission of the Ministry of Health even came to Miass. As a result, Denis Makhankov, chief physician of hospital No. 2, was fired.

But Oleg Makhankov’s father, the chief physician of the regional hospital No. 3, was very dissatisfied with this decision. It would be more accurate to say that Makhankov Sr. was furious. And he promised his close circle that he would reinstate his son at work through the court and the prosecutor’s office. This was reported “Media Factory”?
After all, in the city of Miass, this famous medical family has all the security officials – their own people! At the same time, the media suspected a conspiracy against the Makhankov family in this story. The public wondered for a long time who the customer was. And there was information that the Makhankov family began to go too far in an attempt to earn more. But the scandal suddenly went far beyond the high-profile story between the cleaner and the patient.

Soon it became known that the prosecutor of the Chelyabinsk region Vitaly Lopin instructed to organize an audit of contracts in the Miass hospital No. 2, which were given to firms close to the family of the head physician Denis Makhankov.

As a result, prosecutors have dug up a lot of interesting things. And so many that Denis Makhankov never returned to the chair of the head physician. And, moreover, soon Oleg Makhankov also left his chair of the chief physician in the regional hospital No. 3 of Chelyabinsk.
About the smell of rotten eggs
Well. finally, they reached the figure of Grigory Tonkikh, who became the head of Miass in 2018, when his predecessor Gennady Vaskov went under arrest. The people are very critical of Mr. Tonkikh, apparently because his three predecessors went through fire, water, copper pipes and “checked sky”…
A resident of Miass, Dmitry Lazarev, is also critical of the figure of Thin. On his Vkontakte page, Lazarev posted a post in which he criticized the work of the mayor, accusing him of impotence. Wrote about it “TVNZ”.
In Miass, residents of two micro-districts suffer from poor-quality tap water: water flows from hot taps with the smell of rotten eggs.

The city government promises every year to fix the situation, but the measures do not work. The head of Miass seems to want to solve this problem, but he can’t. Grigory Tonkikh complained to the prosecutor’s office about the public insult.
In the Big Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language, edited by Dmitry Ushakov, there are two lexical meanings of the word impotence: sexual impotence, and in a figurative sense – spiritual infertility. However, the mayor of Miass did not understand the intricacies of vocabulary. He appealed to the supervisory authority with a demand to bring the author to justice.
In relation to Dmitry Lazarev, an administrative case was opened under the article “Insult”. The maximum punishment is a fine of 3,000 rubles.
“There is a survey of Miass residents on my social network page,” Dmitry Lazarev writes. no one has been writing complaints for a long time. But the problem is 10 years old, and during this time no one has solved it. People simply do not believe that the city authorities will help them … ”
And so Dmitry Lazarev wrote his scandalous post.
It remains only to ask the governor Alexei Teksler – does he know how people live in Miass? And why are there so many criminal cases in this wonderful city? Cheerfully, with a twinkle, the city of Miass lives. With such sophisticated officials as in Miass, you definitely won’t get bored!
