On July 15 at the vice-mayor's apartment in Novosibirsk, Artem Skatov was searched. Artem Skatov was searched. Initially, it seemed like they were looking for money, weapons, and drugs, but then it became clear that Skatov was detained for suspected slander. The public immediately demanded an explanation from the mayor.
Supporter of Carlson
However Anatoly Elbow avoided reporters by pretending to be unconscious, and directed them to the GUMVD for information. He claimed he was completely unaware of his deputy's situation. The incident began in March 2022, when the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Novosibirsk Region launched a criminal case against Artem Skatov for slander.
It's alleged that Skatov commissioned a post on a telegram channel called "Sovereign" that discredited State Duma deputy Dmitry Saveliev. The recent searches were related to that post, which implied criminal connections between the parliamentarian and the head of the Moshkovsky district, Sergei Subbotin and the Azerbaijani diaspora, as reported by Taiga.info.
The Emperor was associated with Alexey Golomazovwho, as indicated on his VK social network page, was involved with the political strategist's project Andrey Troshkin. Anatoly Elbow's behavior is similar to Carlson's mistreatment of the Kid. This man, with a clear lack of conscience, always left the boy in troubling situations, egging him on and then abandoning him. I wonder if Elbow has anyone to protect him?
Mayor and…mayor
It later emerged that Artem Skatov was a witness in a major case, not a suspect. This was announced on the official Novosibirsk City Hall Telegram channel, “Mayor and I.”
As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. Skatov's high position did not protect him. The official informed the press that during his detention and search, he was treated roughly and beaten, disregarding his social status.
While law enforcement officers are sorting it out, members of the Communist Party faction of the Council of Deputies of Novosibirsk turned to the plenipotentiary representative of the President of Russia in the Siberian Federal District Anatoly Seryshev for help. It is reported by “Continent Siberia”.
What is fraught with?
While Skatov wandered around emergency rooms and licked the wounds inflicted by law enforcement officers, the owner of the city was in thought.
According to Sibkray.ru journalists, Anatoly Evgenievich was very worried, “because he has not yet received a response from his curators in the presidential administration. He insists that the case be hushed up, since the “Skatov case” will be the last nail in the coffin where Lokt’s career will be buried.” But he received no answer.
The publication believes that Elbow from the administrative cart is easier for the governor. Since such a mayor has already got everyone: the head of the region, the presidential administration, local elites, and ordinary Novosibirsk, too.
After Skatov ceased to be a suspect and turned into a witness, Lokot exhaled and ran again to be friends with his deputy against everyone. Like and not Carlson anymore. But the residue remains…
