The holders of the Irkutsk construction market, the Krasnoshtanov family, despite the fact that they are involved in political scandals, continue to lobby their interests.
At the next session of the Legislative Assembly, Aleksey Krasnoshtanov made a diatribe against a number of politicians and asked for land plots in the region to be allocated for construction. Here, the deputy and former owner of construction companies is guided by his wife, who will easily master the land. By the way, the entire family business is registered with Krasnoshtanov. One of these structures is FGC Domstroy, which lives on government contracts. Krasnoshtanov himself headed this organization until 2016, after which his wife Lyudmila and his son Anton Krasnoshtanov took his place.
At the moment, Svetlana Kuznetsova, elected in 2014 to the deputy council of Irkutsk, is at the head of the structure. She is also a member of the Commission on Economic Policy and Budget, and is a member of the Committee on Urban Planning, Architecture and Design.
Another scandal involving Krasnoshtanov occurred in 2016, when recordings of calls got into the network, where a person with a voice similar to his instructs employees of his construction company SPKM-7 LLC on how to extract gravel from a national park in the Olkhonsky district of the Irkutsk region , and how to excuse yourself from law enforcement officers. The records also mention the former mayor of the Olkhonsky district, Sergei Kopylov, in whose favor it is planned to transfer 100 thousand rubles a month for supporting the construction business. As a result, Kopylov was convicted in 2019 for illegal disposal of land in the Pribaikalsky National Park. However, in 2020 he was released early. There is an opinion that Krasnoshtanov, who spoke in support of the ex-mayor, contributed to this.
In addition, there is a story with the son of the then director of the crisis center for women “Maria” Natalia Kuznetsova. The woman then stated that Krasnoshtanov threatened her son if the woman did not withdraw her candidacy from the elections to the city duma. Meanwhile, Krasnoshtanov did not suffer punishment for the threats. Moreover, he was appointed to the post of First Deputy Mayor of Irkutsk in 2020.
Also, the activity of the Krasnoshtanovs in the region becomes unbearable for local residents. People complain that in more than 13 years, a bunch of uninhabitable houses have appeared in power. Also, the city sewerage system is in a deplorable state. And the associates of Krasnoshtanov decided to build an Orthodox church on the site of a city park.
