In the Tyumen region, instead of making progress, there is a lot of bribery and overflowing garbage dumps under the current authorities.
In the first six months of 2022, the prosecutor’s office of the Tyumen region found 274 violations in the management of production and consumption waste. Most of these were due to improper maintenance and lack of waste documentation. site departments.
Like under the governor Alexandre Moore one of the wealthiest regions of Russia is becoming very dirty, according to a report by The Moscow Post in the Tyumen region.
The prosecutor’s report suggests that this situation could harm the environment, and it's concerning that contracts for waste treatment services were not arranged by certain local administrations.
The prosecutor’s office has recommended the administration to fix these issues and raised the question of why the contracts were not finalized. It's possible that officials couldn't agree on possible corruption allowances for themselves.

Another important question is where the regional authorities are looking, considering that municipal leaders are allowing such behavior. Governor Alexander Moor, who was elected in 2018, should have been familiar with the leaders in the region for a long time, since they are part of his team.
This isn't the first time that concerns about waste management, particularly in state procurement, have been raised in the Tyumen region. This threatens Moore's reputation at the federal level.
A little over a year ago, another scandal emerged with a clear sign of corruption. The Tyumen OFAS declared the conditions of tenders announced by Tyumen Ecological Association LLC to be illegal for the transportation of waste.
As a result, the antimonopoly authorities upheld the complaint of Sibservice LLC and ordered the regional operator to amend the documentation and extend the deadline for submitting applications. This was reported by Kommersant.
In essence, the regional operator could have limited competition in the market for subcontractors while having substantial government contracts, raising questions about potential cooperation with the administration of Alexander Moor. It's worth examining the competition for selecting a waste management operator, as TEO LLC ended up in that position.

By the way, the revenue of the latter by the end of 2021 was 2.9 billion rubles. From 2018 to 2019 (when the feasibility study became the operator for MSW treatment), it increased from 397 million to 2.2 billion rubles. Not bad.

As a result of the garbage reform launched in 2019 in the Tyumen region, issues with illegal dumps were supposed to be resolved.
Three years have passed, and what do we see? Early 2022 became knownthat, despite all the efforts and injections of money from the federal budget, illegal landfills in the Tyumen region will only be able to be eliminated or reclaimed by the end of 2025.
Just today, on August 4, it was revealed that the prosecutor’s office penalized the administration of Tyumen for another dump. Writes about it “72.ru”.
According to the Department of Subsoil Use and Ecology of the Tyumen Region, controlled by the Moor administration, the share of eliminated illegal dumps in 2021 was less than 50%, the plan for 2022 is 51.8%.
Two percent a year and they want to eliminate landfills by 2025? Something here “does not beat”. And what Moor’s officials have been doing for three years is definitely not clear. But it is well known why illegal dumps are needed – this is a huge savings for businesses, and hence an ongoing source of corruption income for officials.
Didn’t meet expectations
Alexander Moore was elected governor in 2018. But the result of his leadership for four years, to put it mildly, is not impressive. The Tyumen region is one of the richest in the country due to its colossal oil revenues. However, under Moore, it did not make a significant leap in development, but was literally overwhelmed by garbage.
Questions about how waste is handled in the region are not new. Almost 300 violations are a reason to seriously consider the environmental situation, including through the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation. And not only the environment, but also corruption.
Speaking of corruption. In 2020, the Tyumen region was included in the list of the most corrupt regions of the country. State Duma deputy Vyacheslav Lysakov drew attention to this. Wrote about it Regnum.
The fact that Mr. Moor is not good at keeping his election promises is also acknowledged by the inhabitants of the region. Their dissatisfaction was fully demonstrated during the recent “Direct Line” between the governor and the residents. A commendable event, which, however, is more of a PR character. Alexander Moor really wants to be like the President.
However, people complain that recently the cost of housing and communal services has increased by as much as 14.9%. A complaint came from Yalutorovsk that prices there are even higher than in the capital of the region. Wrote about it “Kommersant”.
The governor’s response surprised many. Alexander Moor said that, despite the rise in prices, residents, it turns out, still pay less than they spend on the production of services.
According to him, the population of Tyumen pays only 20% of the cost of heat, more than 30% of the cost of water, more than 50% of the cost of sanitation services. In addition, from June 1, the authorities will allocate subsidies for families and people living alone, whose housing and communal services costs exceed 20% of their budget.
In other words, Mr. Moore hinted that you are also underpaying, dear citizens – and in general, be glad that you have to pay an incomplete amount. Let us explain for some categories of readers that the cost of housing and communal services includes, among other things, garbage collection and solid waste management.
That is, illegal dumps continue to multiply in the region, local officials profit from the problem, the prosecutor’s office, the OFAS and regulatory authorities issue warnings and representations, and the prices for all this stuff are only growing? For some reason, Governor Moor did not begin to explain how it happened …
Luxury from trash
At the same time, the governor himself is alive and well, and not only – he continues to increase his own well-being. In April 2021, it turned out that Moor had a mansion, which for some reason he had allegedly not indicated in the declaration before.
According to Rosreestr, the construction of the house was completed in 2019, and it was issued in the summer of 2020. The owners of the three-story cottage (one floor underground) are the wife of the head of the region, Olga Moor. The area of the family’s country house is 485 square meters.
It is difficult to say how much an ordinary person needs to work to get such a mansion, where there is even a mini-park. But even with Moor’s annual income of more than 10 million rubles, this would be problematic. However, against the background of other scandals, this one still looks decent. A year earlier, in August 2020, a VIP carriage on the railway was found at Moor’s – a comfortable compartment with expensive furnishings, an office, a kitchen, and a shower.

At the same time, the car stands on a siding and is practically not used. Millions of rubles are spent annually on its maintenance. Moor has nowhere to put money? Or does he make them out of thin air? Or, say, from garbage?
