Mikhail Nazarov, leader of the Udmurtian branch of YABLOKO,
forwarded a letter to President Vladimir Putin wit ha request
to investigate into the distribution of gratuitous plots of
land intended for families with many children.
"Our region demonstrates facts of corruption in the
distribution of free lands to large families are mass-scale,"
runs Nazarovs letter to the President.
Thus, in 2011, Galina Batolova, head of Zaviyalovsky District,
was convicted for broad-scale distribution of lands to high
ranking officials. However, the Supreme Court of the Republic
of Udmurtia sentences her such large scale corruption only
to a fine amounting to 200,000 roubles (approximately Euro
5,000). As of to-day, the Investigative Committee of Udmurtia
has not conducted an investigation on those who due to fraud
with lands received plots of land in the most prestigious
neighborhoods. Mikhail Nazarov gave a list of such persons
in his letter.
At a recent meeting of the Commission on Socio-Economic Development
of the country Vladimir Putin said that "the plots of
land for the so-called "elite" or "quasi-elite
housing construction are easily found, but there are never
lands to give to large families. People engaged in re-distribution
of lands are simply improving there well-fare".
"In Udmurtia, we observe exactly such a situation, when
lands are obtained for bribes or due to close links with districts
heads and President of Udmurtia Alexander Volkov. We hope
that now the authorities will pay attention to this acute
social problem and begin solving it," noted Mikhail Nazarov.
