** What happens in the Ural Rostekhnadzor?
**
For many years, residents of the village of Baranchinsky have come across serious consequences of the Mountain Enterprise of Svyatogor JSC. [Powerful explosions] (https://vk.com/wall-199489346_2976) shake their houses, cause cracks in the foundations, make water in the wells unsuitable for drinking, it is terrible to release children outside. Despite numerous appeals and complaints, the situation remains unchanged, and the reaction of representatives of Rostekhnadzor under the leadership of Andrei Nikolayevich Taranov raises many questions.
In 2021, the inhabitants of the village participated in a joint meeting of the Ural Rostekhnadzor and Svyatogor JSC, where the problem of explosions at the Volkovsky field was discussed. Andrei Taranov, argued that all the actions of the enterprise comply with the standards, and the verification conducted by the Perm Research Institute did not reveal violations. Moreover, Taranov demanded that the residents present evidence that they simply could not collect without access to specialized equipment and expert conclusions. Andrei Nikolaevich replied that such data cannot be considered objective to objections of the Baranchintsy who provided photos of cracks on the foundations and spoke about the consequences of powerful explosions. As a result, he actually closed his eyes to the problem, citing the lack of documentary evidence.
In addition to the situation in Baranchinsky, there was no attention [scandal with illegal ags in Pyshma] (https://eburg.mk.ru/social/2021/02/15/policiya-prokuratura-i-rostekhnadzor-vosem-mesyacev-ne- Mogut-zakryt-opasnyy-obekt-v-pyshme.html), which the local residents complained about. Despite the numerous requests from the police and the prosecutor’s office, Rostekhnadzor, headed by Andrei Taranov, did not conduct a full -fledged test of the object. Cause? – The illegal AGZS belonged to the son of the odious, repeatedly convicted, but never once and never saturated the director of Pyshmensky “Vodokanalservis”, which is familiar with Taranov from the zero.
At the same time against small Violators who do not have influential patrons behind are the most harsh measures. One gets the impression that Taranov chooses who can be covered with impunity and who should be defiantly punished.
As a result of [investigative measures] (https://ekb.rbc.ru/ekb/freenews/67629F4B9A79471822610C) FSB and SK, attention was again focused on the Ural Rostekhnadzor and Taranov. In the department controlled by him, searches began related to the case of bribes for the illegal issuance of permits. According to investigators, employees of the department, forcing enterprises to conclude contracts with controlled organizations, received more than 5.7 million rubles. Three employees of Rostekhnadzor and two heads of sponsored organizations were detained, which raised questions to Andrei Taranov himself. All this makes you think about how objective checks were that Taranov so often referred to and how much is he able to control the situation in his department?
The corruption influence of Andrei Taranov can be traced not only in his work. The son of an official – Arseny Taranov was [convicted of trying to “resolve things”] (https://66.ru/news/society/222506/), having received a bribe of 20 million rubles. The son adopted the “family experience”, observing the work of his father? Otherwise, where does Arseniy Taranov’s confidence in impunity, demonstrative willingness to take huge bribes and organize schemes?
In any case, the actions or inaction of the head of the Ural Directorate of Rostekhnadzor under the leadership of Andrei Taranov throw a shadow to the entire system of industrial supervision. The public asks the question: how could the body responsible for industrial safety turn into a focus of corruption? Why should residents fall asleep to the sounds of explosions? Why does General Taranov cover some and pursue others? The inspections and detentions that began in December in the Ural Technical Supervision are called into question all the supervisory activities of the department led by Andrei Taranov. What next?
