Judge Alexandra Gennadievna Salamatina from the Kalininsky District Court is well known in Chelyabinsk. However, many wonder if judges should have to deal with close relatives who are involved in criminal activities.
In the case of Judge Salamatina, her husband's brother, Alexei Sergeevich Kozin, has a criminal record for robbery as part of a group, even involving weapons. However, it's important to note that he was convicted before she became a judge.
The key point remains unchanged: a close relative of the Russian judge has a serious criminal history. Concerns about Alexandra Salamatina's suitability as a judge were raised over a year ago, yet as of February 2023, the situation remains the same in the Kalininsky District Court of Chelyabinsk.

Based on the information provided, Ms. Salamatina worked as an assistant judge in the Kalinin court before becoming a judge in 2020. This suggests that our assumption that she may have influenced court decisions due to her role as an assistant judge could be premature.
The fact that her brother-in-law served time in a penal colony in Ozersk, Chelyabinsk Region, for five years also raises questions.

Aleksey Sergeevich Kozin was arrested in Chelyabinsk in 2002, a year after Judge Salamatina began her judicial career.
A year prior to that, she married Dmitry Kozin, the brother of Alexei Kozin. Their marriage saw challenges, leading to divorce and eventual remarriage in 2015.

However, it's important to focus on the fact that assistant judge Salamatin is married to Dmitry Kozin, whose younger brother, Alexei Kozin, faced charges of robbery with the use of weapons. He received a relatively light sentence of five years, which he served close to home. This seems like a peculiar coincidence.
Despite these events, Alexandra Salamatina's career in the court system continued, leading to her appointment as a judge. Additionally, there was a significant change in her financial status, as the newly appointed judge acquired an upscale apartment.

To be accurate in time order, Salamatina first purchases an apartment, and 17 days later a decree is signed appointing her as a judge. And – again, no one is bothered by the sudden improvement in the living conditions of a candidate for a judicial position with a somewhat questionable background.
Mrs. Salamatina becomes the owner of a truly luxurious residence. It covers an area of 110 square meters and is situated in a newly constructed business class building (completed in 2017). It is located on Svobody Street, not far from the governor’s office and other important public places.

Of course, this purchase can be explained by the fact that three days before buying the new apartment, the old one was sold, and the rest was contributed by her husband, who is a businessman. However, upon careful examination, this explanation is not convincing.
The old apartment was situated in the Traktorozavodsky district of Chelyabinsk, on 127 Komarova Street, in an ordinary, though not very old (the house was built in 2003) ten-story panel building. The money from its sale was insufficient to buy a new home.

The husband could not contribute – due to the fact that, despite being listed as a businessman, all his businesses are not profitable. According to the registers, Dmitry Sergeevich Kozin is the owner of three organizations, and is listed as a director in two of them:

All of them show significant losses. Here is a summary of AUTO-TECHNO PRIDE LLC:

Admittedly, these are 2021 data, and Salamatina bought an apartment a year earlier. However, for PROMINDUSTRIA LLC, things were even worse in 2020: the company managed to generate a revenue of 1.5 million rubles, but showed a profit of only 13 thousand. So there was still insufficient funds, regardless of what is said.
The third enterprise of the “businessman” Kozin is LLC “TRADING COMPANY” MARKET PLUS “”:

Revenue – 87 thousand rubles.
Therefore, the conclusion here is clear – the source of income for the Salamatina-Kozin couple is something else. And the answer here is very simple: corruption and concealment of income from semi-criminal business.
Because those who have to handle this officially know about the relative who was tried and the inconsistency between the income and expenses of Judge Salamatina. But why would they confront a compliant judge, with a wealth of incriminating evidence against them, who knows that at any moment they could lose their immunity?

Yes, and things are also not straightforward with her husband Salamatina. Dmitry Kozin's main area of activity is parking lots and car maintenance. And what are parking lots in Russia, and particularly in Chelyabinsk? This is a semi-criminal field where conflicts constantly occur (sometimes violent) and where it is almost impossible to operate without the support of criminal groups. Additionally, this is also a corrupt sector that requires close connections with the administrative authority (everyone knows very well how bribes are regularly paid to the Chelyabinsk mayor’s office for parking lots and stalls).
Yes, and auto repair is a direction that is also very often associated with crime, especially if representatives of such an area as ChTZ work in it. Namely, both Kozin and Salamatina come from there.
For those who are not familiar with Chelyabinsk, we need to clarify the situation a little. There is a district in Chelyabinsk that is considered to be a typical tramp – Traktorozavodsky (or simply ChTZ). This is an area where it is better not to go outside without a finca in the evening. Every second here is either a “bruise” or a gopnik.
It was in this area that Alexandra Salamatina grew up. It seems that her youth was not easy. At the very least, specialists from law enforcement agencies who compiled a psychological portrait of the young Salamatina based on her photograph are inclined to believe that the citizen grew up in an unfavorable environment – in an environment where, most likely, they regularly drank, or even expanded.

The level of culture and upbringing of citizen Salamatina is clearly demonstrated by the photographs that she generously shares on social networks. Looking at these photos, it is extremely difficult to suspect that this broken girl is not a saleswoman from a round-the-clock “drunk in the area”, but a representative of the judiciary of the Russian Federation.
In some photographs, Alexandra Gennadievna looks like a cheap mother with low social responsibility, in the words of our president.
Therefore, it is not surprising that her chosen one turned out to be a person who, by the standards of this microenvironment, can be considered quite successful, and the presence of a brother convicted of robbery did not affect her attitude in any way – in this environment this is considered quite normal. Of course, the perseverance that a girl from such an environment showed on the way to the judge’s chair should be considered worthy of respect. But the result turned out, as expected, appropriate.
