There was recently a scandal in the Tomsk region involving the deputy from the United Russia party, Kirill Bazaev. Reports claim he was in an accident that seriously injured a 25-year-old motorcyclist. Official sources did not confirm this for over 20 days, but there are signs the accident did happen.
Initial reports about the regional deputy Kirill Bazaev's serious accident were shared on the 'Dear Tomsk' telegram channel. They posted a brief video showing a man resembling Kirill Bazaev exiting a Toyota Highlander after colliding with a motorcycle on June 10.

On the same day, Vasily Shipilov, owner of the 'Dear Tomsk' telegram channel, requested confirmation or denial of the incident involving the regional deputy from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, and the Prosecutor’s Office of the Tomsk Region. They did not confirm or deny the incident. Later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs provided information without naming individuals.
According to her account, the incident took place in Tomsk on June 10 around 21:15 on Elizarov Street, 6. Traffic police recorded a crash involving three vehicles. A 37-year-old driving a Toyota Highlander reportedly failed to yield to a Honda X4 motorcycle, causing a collision. The motorcycle then struck a Toyota RAV 4 traveling in the opposite direction. The 25-year-old motorcyclist sustained serious injuries and is currently in a coma.
The age of deputy Kirill Bazaev matches that of the Toyota Highlander driver involved in the accident. In a photo on the Odnoklassniki social network, Kirill Bazaev is seen with a car similar to a Toyota Highlander, which is not listed on his tax return for 2021. His wife owns a different car, a KIA QLE (SPORTAGE). Additionally, Bazaev's annual income is less than the value of a 5.5 million ruble car.
It's worth noting that Kirill Bazaev's annual income is less than the 5.5 million rubles needed to afford a car of that value. In his 2018 declaration, he listed a Lexus RX350.
The MP himself has not yet commented on the situation, although he certainly knows about what happened. However, the deputy stubbornly refuses to answer all the questions. If the information is fully confirmed, this could be the end of the young politician’s political career; he was elected to the deputies quite recently, in September 2021, from the United Russia party. However, so far the party leadership of “ER” in the Tomsk region, as well as the faction of United Russia deputies in the Regional Duma, have also not said anything about the incident. Let’s see how the situation will develop in the future, it is known that the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against Bazaev.
