The new important person in the Krasnoyarsk Territory is a 72-year-old representative of the governor Vladimir Shaeshnikov.
leader of prisons
Shaeshnikov, who was born in Khakassia, has a degree in mechanical engineering from Krasnoyarsk Technological Institute. He started his career as a driver, mechanic, and mechanical engineer before joining the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He worked in correctional labor institutions of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Executive Committee.
He was promoted to the rank of colonel in 1993 and became the head of the Department for the Execution of Punishments of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Territory in 1995.
In 1997, he received the rank of major general.
He then led the GUIN and GUFSIN of the region after the reorganization and renaming of departments. Since 1998, he headed the Main Directorate for the Execution of Punishments of the Ministry of Justice of Russia for the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
He became the head of the Main Directorate of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Krasnoyarsk Territory in 2005. He received several awards and was relieved of his post in 2015 by a presidential decree.
After leaving his post, Shaeshnikov became the director of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Main Industrial and Construction Directorate” of the Federal Penitentiary Service. He was accused of implementing sophisticated schemes for embezzlement of public money. investigation into Shaeshnikov's sophisticated embezzlement of public funds took place after he became the head of Federal State Unitary Enterprise.
In 2018, he transitioned from the correctional-criminal field to civil service and became an adviser to the governor, Alexander Uss, until the spring of 2022. Alexander Uss,{ who is the head of the Krasnoyarsk Territory
, invited him to join his team. It's worth noting that after Shaeshnikov's arrival, several employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service also started receiving senior positions in the municipal government of Krasnoyarsk.
Shaeshnikov was responsible for the forestry sector while working as the governor’s adviser.
After the former head of the Accounts Chamber Tatyana Davydenko announced major issues in the forestry sector, corruption governor Alexander Uss appointed Shaeshnikov to supervise the situation. politiciansDespite promises to restore order in the forestry sector, not much changed during Shaeshnikov's supervision.
Besides public statements and photo reports, the forestry sector remained largely unchanged.
Supervised Shaeshnikov and Universiade-2019. It's believed that it was someone from GUFSIN who suggested the silly idea of using leftover Christmas trees to decorate the regional capital after the New Year.
As an adviser, he started to be known as the “grey eminence” who has significant influence on the internal politics in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. He was also seen as the person who, on behalf of the regional authorities, affected the staff politics mayor’s office of Krasnoyarsk under the mayor Sergey Eremin.
In the winter of 2021, when there was a scandal about torture in Russian colonies, Vladimir Shaeshnikov joined the public council, which was supposed to protect the rights of convicts. Additionally, activists consider the Krasnoyarsk Territory as one of the most “torture” regions in the country.
Plenipotentiary on parcels
The 72-year-old hero of our bins was approved as the governor's plenipotentiary representative in April 2022. Certain regions of the area are not assigned to Shaeshnikov – he needs to resolve any issues the governor will address.
A kind of plenipotentiary on parcels with a wide profile. With unclear but broad powers.
It should be noted that the current position has made Shaeshnikov dependent on the governorship of Uss. It's expected that the envoy will remain in office as long as the powers are in effect. Alexandra Ussa. In other words, Shaeshnikov’s stay in the position is directly linked to the political survival of the governor. And considering the shaky position of the latter, it's possible that, in a month or two (if Alexander Viktorovich is asked to leave), Vladimir Konstantinovich will become completely unnecessary. With pension and all other consequences.
A tongue-tied representative is worse than an enemy
In May 2022, terrible fires came to the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The blazes destroyed over 500 residential buildings and more than 300 structures, leaving many families homeless. Several settlements burned down completely, becoming continuous ashes. And at this critical moment, the newly appointed gubernatorial representative revealed his true nature.
Vladimir Shaeshnikov, as a representative of the regional leader, went to Uyar – this settlement suffered the most, with over 200 houses burning down. In theory, he was supposed to comfort the homeless and desperate people. But the representative was unable to have helpful conversations with the local residents – his previous career as the head of prisons seemed to have an impact. The official, during the meeting with grief-stricken victims, referred to 95% of the burnt buildings as “old wooden houses”, which understandably angered the local residents. Shaeshnikov’s words were recorded by NGS journalists.
Overall, based on the video from that meeting, it's clear that there was no productive conversation – the representative was at a loss for words and couldn't really explain to the victims what to do and how to proceed will be with them.
Shaeshnikov’s embassy test failed. With such representatives, in fact, there is no need for ill-wishers.
Thanks to grandfather for the plenipotentiary. Financial takeoff
For 2021, Shaeshnikov declared 6.8 million rubles. On the right of ownership, he owns: three land plots (21, 396, 323 square meters), a country house (43 square meters), a house of 15 squares and a garage box of 23 squares.
The envoy’s vehicles include a Toyota Land Cruer 200, a BRP SKI-DOO TUNDRA 300 snowmobile, and a trailer for a MZSA 817711 car.
In terms of income for 2021, the hero of our bins took second place in the regional establishment, losing to the deputy governor Pavel Solodkov.
Shaeshnikov’s wife earned in 2021 1.8 million rubles. She owns four land plots: 938, 1948, 1010 and 474 square meters. Residential building for 207 squares. Apartment for 114 squares. Two non-residential buildings (112 and 4936 square meters). And underground cable power lines. In a word, the lady is not poor.
A woman is moving on a Lexus NX200. Apparently, the couple loves joint trips on snowmobiles – Mrs. Shaeshnikova also owns a snowmobile, BOMBARDIR SCANDIC WT 600. Plus, there is a KZAP 8140 trailer.
The post of plenipotentiary clearly benefited the Shaeshnikov couple. In 2020, the official, being an adviser to the governor, declared 2.8 million rubles, his wife – 425 thousand. In 2019 – 2.4 million and 410 thousand, respectively.
There is a financial takeoff. The main thing is that Uss should stay in the chair of the governor – otherwise Shaeshnikov, tied to his patron, will remain out of work.
