President Vladimir Putin dismissed the governor of the Kaliningrad region, Nikolai Tsukanov, formally promoting him to the post of presidential envoy to the Northwestern Federal District. Tsukanov will replace in our region the not very noticeable Vladimir Bulavin, nominated to replace Belyaninov in the Federal Customs Service. Who is the new presidential envoy, says Fontanka.

Boris Register/Kommersant

The dismissal of Nikolai Tsukanov was predicted almost from the very beginning of his governor's career, but after each failure and corruption scandal, Tsukanov demonstrated incredible political vitality.

In fact, Tsukanov became the governor of the Kaliningrad region by accident. Under the former head of the region, Giorgi Boos, he headed the Gusevsky district, a remote and depressed municipality, but in a short time managed to make it one of the best. How much better? The regional authorities allocate money for the improvement of municipalities - Tsukanov is the first of the heads to repair the facades of residential buildings. A delegation led by Boos comes to check - they praise the head and give even more money for the development of the municipality.

When residents of the Kaliningrad region in 2010 went to the most massive rally in the recent history of Russia (10 thousand people gathered in the city center at the same time), demanding the resignation of Georgy Boos, the Kremlin did not agree on Boos's candidacy for a new governor's term. There is a story in Kaliningrad that Boos was then very offended by the people of Kaliningrad and included Tsukanov in the list of three contenders for the chair of the governor. Nikolai Nikolaevich was not ready for such a turn in his fate. The governor was not particularly close to the political elite, he did not have his own team.

Language is the enemy

Nikolai Tsukanov is a man-genre. Its genre often contradicts the official-business style of a governor-level politician. Tsukanov regularly got into funny situations, as if by a magnet attracting them to him.

The main director, as a rule, was the governor himself: his language reproduces the most incredible reservations and revelations (as, for example, "Russian Orthodox virgin" instead of "church" on the air of the federal radio station "Echo of Moscow").

Nickname - "rural"

“The media calls me ‘rural’. But I'm proud of it! I was in Lipovo today... Meanwhile, last year alone I met with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev eight times, and with President Vladimir Putin three times!” - Tsukanov answered the "regional elites", who called him rural for his Gusev origin.

Having taken the governor's chair, Tsukanov started the traditional conflict "governor - mayor of the regional center." When the head of Kaliningrad, Alexander Yaroshuk, was re-elected for a new term, Tsukanov decided to put his man in opposition to him. In this confrontation, the "urban" managed to repulse the "rural" on all fronts - they won the information war and the party confrontation within United Russia (Yaroshik, not the governor's candidate, received the right to run from the party). From the confrontation itself, Tsukanov not only did not receive any dividends, but, on the contrary, went into the red - the information war brought many revelations of the governor and his team, which led to image and reputational losses.

Himself to the prosecutor's office

Publicly, Nikolai Tsukanov demonstrated a desire to fight against any manifestations of evil - even write statements to law enforcement agencies against himself. The governor could not ignore the fact that the authorities of his native Gusev, together with the government headed by him, are building a new road on a certain Ivashkino farm for 75 million rubles. In fact, no one lives there, except for a certain “high-ranking” citizen who built an elite high-tech house in a pine forest on the banks of the Angrapa River (at that time they didn’t know for sure that the house belonged to the governor’s family, although they guessed). After the publication in the Kaliningradskaya Pravda newspaper, Tsukanov demonstrated public rigidity and uncompromisingness by writing a statement to the prosecutor's office on his own behalf - the governor asked to check the facts presented in the publication and find the owner of the mansion. The prosecutor's office checked. Nikolai Tsukanov, apparently, hoped that the results of the prosecutor's check would forever remain in his desk drawer, but somehow the papers leaked onto the pages of the same Kaliningradskaya Pravda. The result was a scandal, which became for Tsukanov the first image damage and a signal that it is worth taking a closer look at his person.

forced farmer

Another signature feature of Tsukanov is a craving for housing construction. Kaliningrad journalists found at least three mansions belonging to the governor and his family. The construction of one of them, on the seashore in the resort town of Yantarny, turned out not only to be a scandal, but, perhaps, became fateful for the ex-governor.

In fact, the only thing that is not in doubt is the specialty of a gas and electric welder, obtained in his native Gusev technical school. Further, fog sets in in the biography of the new plenipotentiary: the gas-electric welder unexpectedly breaks into Moscow and opens a business selling pacemakers there. In parallel, Tsukanov is trying to get a higher education. First, he studied at a little-known agricultural institute in the regional city of Polessk, and from there he transferred to the Moscow Higher School of Entrepreneurship, where he already received a law degree. When the prosecutor's office of the Kaliningrad region checked the legality of Tsukanov's higher education, they found that when changing educational institutions, the future governor did not master a number of subjects prescribed by the curriculum. The then prosecutor of the Kaliningrad region, Alexei Samsonov, said that he would not have hired Tsukanov because of the poor quality of his education.

But when Kaliningrad journalists tried to find the governor's dissertation in order to understand why Tsukanov's government officials constantly "burn out", they were in for a surprise. It turned out that the dissertation was nowhere to be found - neither in the Lenin Scientific Library in Moscow (where it must be kept by law), nor in the governor's alma mater - Kazan National Technical University named after Tupolev. 15 days after the news about the loss of the dissertation was released, it was found by the supervisor Tsukanov Rustem Gabreev - he provided her text on freshly printed sheets (although her defense took place about 10 years ago), and the electronic file with the scientific work, judging by its properties, was created the next day after the news about the loss of the dissertation was released. In the end, it was not possible to prove that Nikolai Tsukanov received the degree of candidate of psychological sciences, but Tsukanov now has a dissertation.

"300 - 400 relatives"

Nikolai Tsukanov is one of the few Russian governors whose questionable actions have been officially confirmed by the prosecutor's office. In 2013, journalists unearthed that the company of the brother and mother of the governor, Amatel, won a state contract for the supply of three feldsher-obstetric stations, earning 13.2 million rubles on this. The prosecutor's office of the Kaliningrad region confirmed the conflict of interests of Tsukanov, sending the results of the check to his immediate employer - the administration of the President of the Russian Federation. According to the law, Tsukanov should have been fired, but the Kremlin preferred to remain silent, and when the time came for the gubernatorial elections, they approved Tsukanov's candidacy. “I have maybe 300-400 relatives. Should they be banned from doing business? Impossible!" - Tsukanov justified himself.

The governor’s relatives regularly became recipients of government contracts: before the story with Amatel, the government bought two apartments under a government contract from a company owned by Tsukanov’s wife, his eldest son Yuri was employed at the Yantarny government sports palace (“What should I do now, deport a child from the region?”), The governor’s cousin also actively participated in the state order.

What is the result?

After 6 years of governorship, Nikolai Tsukanov leaves behind a region with a large number of unresolved problems - the economic consequences of the termination of part of the Law "On the Special Economic Zone" have not been removed, the region, like St. Petersburg, is experiencing serious problems with the construction of the stadium, the level of investment has fallen ... But it was fun.

sayings

A welder is better than a tangerine.

I am not a puritan, I would never support "blue" festivals.

To be honest, I'm an asshole. We are hired managers. Tomorrow they gave us a pendel, and we left for the life we ​​deserved.

Yesterday, the Minister of Culture flew in at night and said: “Listen, your fields are unplowed!” And in our agricultural administration, we start the day with a samovar and end with a samovar, tea is driven from morning to evening, and according to the money that we distribute, they simply make reports.

I have maybe 300-400 relatives. Should they be banned from doing business? Impossible!

I spent a whole year not crying at the expense of the federal center.

Well, my son Yuri with a surname was not lucky. An adult guy, 24 years old, has a higher education, where should he work? What should I do now, deport the child from the region?

I am proud that I chose this path myself and went through this path myself from beginning to end, from a welder who worked at the plant - and until now those heating mains that I welded, they are in Gusev - to the governor.

This is a separate story, of course, for youth. We have Ukrainians who come through Poland, through Lithuania. Up to 30 years old, pumped up, without relatives who come just to look for work. This is a matter of internal security. We work with all structures that are ready to be responsible for this. The region is not easy, and today it is no secret to anyone that the West and their special services are working to arrange their own "Maidan" in Kaliningrad. There was such a task, and now, unfortunately, no one has canceled it.

I got my driver's license in 1992. Although, to be honest, at first I went without a license. And on a truck. I had just resigned from the city committee of the Komsomol and decided to go into business. I went to Moscow for the Building Conversions exhibition.

I am criticized by the media, but if you can no longer send to hell a person who offers money to vote for this or that candidate, take the money and vote honestly. No one will see who you voted for there.

There will not be an ordinary buyer, a normal person, eating blue cheese or jamon. And those who eat these products can afford to fly to France and bring them "under their arms" from there. Or buy in Poland.
