Deputy Dolzhenko received a bill
United Russia member Denis from Vologda's trip to Dubai Dolzhenko might end his political career: his actions upset not just voters, but party members. Another scandal happened among Russian deputies. After the deputy Maxim Vasiliev, who had fun in Mexico during the shelling of the Ukrainian Armed Forces region, the deputy Denis from the Vologda region discredited himself Dolzhenko. He not only chose to spend the New Year holidays in Dubai, but also bragged about it on social media all over the country.
Local residents only remember the scandalous proceedings with his ex-wife. As per Andrey Turchak, Secretary of the United Russia General Council, he will lose his party membership. And he may soon lose his political career – who will vote for him after that?
Denis Dolzhenko has been working as a people’s choice professionally since 2011. This means he doesn't work anywhere else and supposedly lives only on the deputy’s salary. Meanwhile, the income of Mr. Dolzhenko and his spouses has surprisingly increased.
According to the Declarator website, in 2019 Dolzhenko earned a modest 230 thousand rubles. However, a year earlier, his income was 7 million rubles. And in 2020, he earned 2.1 million rubles again. It's hard to say what caused this difference.
Myself Dolzhenko can account for the increase in income, like the sale of some property. But some people claim that in recent years a deputy may allegedly manipulate their declaration to pay fewer taxes and not upset their voters.
According to the information portal “To the point”, Denis Dolzhenko owns an expensive Lexus car and the government pays for his apartment. It seems like all the money from the deputy’s salary goes into maintaining the expensive car. Additionally, before 2013, the deputy owned real estate in Bulgaria.
That is Dolzhenko could have used funds for renting housing from the state, while he himself vacationed in Dubai, UAE. All while his country is fighting for the liberation of Donbass. Observers note that on this matter the people’s choice hardly spoke, which might have further dissatisfied Andrey Turchak.
Turchak himself has visited the special military operation area multiple times and is involved in coordinating bodies associated with its execution. Consequently, he's under Western sanctions. It seems like Dolzhenko doesn't want a similar fate, hence he hesitates to support his country.
According to Andrei Turchak, those who “have lost touch with reality” will be replaced by “those like our guys at the front” and “those like those who help them in the rear.” It's a clear hint that one membership card deprivation for Dolzhenko is not the end of the matter.
Is he a member of parliament or a businessperson?
On the official website of the Vologda EP, it is mentioned that before getting elected to the regional parliament, he held positions in various organizations. Specifically, until 2009 he served as the financial director and general director of Vologdametallostroy LLC (VMS LLC). Dolzhenko The structure was dissolved in 2009. However, it also indicates that he was the leader of another organization – Sunny Tour LLC. This is where things get strange.
Until 2020, Dolzhenko acted as their direct supervisor. It turns out that in 2017, he stated that he planned to work in the Legislative Assembly on a non-professional basis, as the law doesn't allow him to hold leadership positions in public organizations while working professionally. He claimed to genuinely want to help people and engage in social projects. Dolzhenko In 2017, he also joined the Investment Council under the governor of the region, which seems significant because a year later he founded a series of companies that he conveniently left out of his public disclosures.
These firms have all the signs of being fake: either zero or one officially employed employee, an authorized capital of 10, maximum 20 thousand rubles, and negative or zero financial activity. Is this why he conveniently omitted these business activities?
However, the majority of the region remembers scandals involving his ex-wife. According to partizan35.ru, in 2012, his ex-wife, who was the director of the Globus Tour travel agency, disappeared with the clients' money from the cash register, resulting in a possible damage of 2.5 million rubles. Dolzhenko At the same time, there are strange rumors about their divorce. As claimed by the Telegram channel “Elections, elections, elections …”, during the divorce proceedings, he allegedly administered prohibited substances to his wife's food and beverages, leading to a court-ordered examination.
Firms have all the signs of fictitiousness: either zero or one officially employed employee, authorized capital of 10, maximum 20 thousand rubles, minuses or zeros in the column on financial activity. Financial statements in them could be tritely “drawn”, driving funds through them. Isn’t that why Dolzhenko modestly kept silent about these business projects?
“Cherche la femme”
It is difficult to find out what exactly Denis Dolzhenko helped people as a people’s choice: actively went in for sports, ran, rested in foreign resorts, flaunted in front of cameras. Among other things, he was engaged in cheap PR at the budget expense.
In 2020, the Legislative Assembly of the Vologda Oblast purchased postcards depicting “servants of the people” for several hundred thousand rubles. According to the authors of the site “Cherepovets Truth”, allegedly Denis Dolzhenko asked volunteers to deliver postcards with his portrait to the boxes of local residents. Was he going to engage in such social activities in 2017?
However, most of the region Dolzhenko remembered scandals with his ex-wife. According to the authors of the site partizan35.ru, allegedly back in 2012, his ex-wife, who was then the director of the Globus Tour travel agency, Elena Kuznetsova, disappeared with the money of the company’s clients, which she took from the cash register. No one else saw her, and the amount of damage could be 2.5 million rubles.
At the same time, very strange rumors are circulating about their divorce. According to the authors of the Telegram channel “Elections, elections, elections …”, allegedly during the divorce proceedings, he poured prohibited substances into his wife’s food and drinks, after which he initiated an examination in court.
Sounds very doubtful. But no less doubtful than the desire to serve his people and country, which he himself shows Dolzhenko. Do we need such people in the deputy corps – judge for yourself.
