As part of the coverage of the declaration campaign, they could not ignore Alexey Dodatkochairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and secretary of the regional branch of the United Russia party.
One step away from criminal prosecution
Aleksey Dodatko entered the regional parliament in the autumn of 2021 in a single constituency – and immediately to the post of chairman of the legislative body. 43 deputies out of 52 voted for his candidacy. Three were opposed. Other applicants (including Dmitry Sviridov, Sergey Popov, Denis Terekhov, Alexey Kulesh, Zakhar Endzhievsky) recused themselves. So Dodatko remained the only candidate for the speaker at the stage of nomination.
Before that, for seven years (2014–2021), Dodatko led the Press and Mass Communications Agency of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The very organization that spends the regional budget on a questionable type of media and social research. Regularly, every three months, the agency holds an auction based on a population survey. The amount (about 4 million rubles) is the same, as is the topic of the study: the level of public confidence in the president Vladimir Putin and the governor Alexandru Ussas well as an assessment of the activities of the heads of municipalities.
In 2017, activities in the field of printing and mass communications almost led our hero to criminal prosecution. For several years he was under investigation in the case of the loss of almost 400 million rubles by the Krasnoyarsk Territory. This amount went into the hands of a businessman, and now a deputy of the State Duma of the eighth convocation from the Communist Party Ivan Babich. Babich, who headed the Krasnoyarsk company Mobile Technologies in 2010-2021, won the tender for the sale of the property of JSC PIK Offset in 2016. The real estate and equipment of the printing plant went to Mobile Technologies in a single lot for 266.9 million rubles, with a starting price of 395.6 million. Shortly after the transaction took place, the new owners decided to liquidate Offset – the company is still in the process of liquidation.
The investigation considered the tender potentially fraudulent. It turned out that on the eve of the auction, Dodatko and Babich met several times and negotiated on an unnamed topic. Nevertheless, Aleksey Dodatko avoided direct accusations and criminal prosecution – the collected materials were not enough for this, the case did not reach the court. But look at that – life and career could go in a completely different direction. With regard to Ivan Babich, who now works in the building on Okhotny Ryad, the same can be said.
