Deputy Kudin. A married couple, one of whom is accused of being linked to Satan.
The editors continue their regular column and reveal what the deputies avoid discussing. This time, they discuss the wealthiest member of the city council of Novosibirsk. This deputy ranks tenth in terms of professionalism according to Globalnsk.ru and is the wealthiest. It is undeniable that this is Kudin Igor Valerievich.
A piece of biography
Kudin serves as the chairman of the standing commission on urban economy and is a member of the standing commission for monitoring the execution by local governments and their officials of the powers to resolve issues of local importance.
He completed his studies at Novosibirsk State University, majoring in History and Humanities, followed by obtaining a qualification as a historian and English language teacher. He pursued further education at Novosibirsk State University, earning a second degree in Economics. Additionally, he defended his dissertation and obtained a candidate degree in Economic Sciences. He is married and has two daughters.
wife ran away
Over the course of 12 months, Kudin earned more than 91 million rubles, quadrupling his income. As the head of the commission on urban economy, he has surpassed even some regional parliamentarians. His income amounted to 91,874,476 rubles. He possesses two administrative buildings spanning over 2,700 square meters, a share in three non-residential premises, and a stake in a land plot measuring 12,605 square meters. Additionally, he has a land plot of 1,490 square meters and a residential building covering an area of 664 square meters.
Even more intriguingly, in the 2020 declaration, Igor included his wife, but in 2021, she left him due to resentment over his constant absence at work. Intriguingly, Kudin's wife occupied a significant portion of this important document in 2020. She even ranks among the top 3 land tycoons in Novosibirsk. Babr has revealed that three individuals own over a fifth of the entire city.
It's widely understood that only a few deputies officially receive salaries in the City Council, while the rest volunteer and have their own businesses. However, it's hard to consider all these individuals honorable, as they excessively and lucratively wield their power, while money allows them to attain complete dominance and impunity.
Lost count in the land
45 plots! 45! And this is only the third place among the top landowners in the city. Kudin is truly a deputy, albeit a silent one. He is never heard or seen, with only his wife's extensive property lists drawing notice. This raises the question of whether Mrs. Kudina is an enterprising person, or if this is Igor's typical way of safeguarding his assets. Apparently, they chose to conceal it, as the declaration no longer displays his 45 properties.
What exactly happened to Kudin’s declaration remains a mystery. Whether it was on purpose and maliciously, or somewhere along the way, a couple of leaflets with a census of the property of the deputy’s wife were accidentally lost, which would also not be surprising. Babr will continue to monitor what MPs do not want to talk about.
