On August 6, Sevastopol gauleiter Mikhail Razvozhaev suddenly announced the dismissal of his “deputy” and “worst friend” Yevgen Gorlov, after the occupiers’ punishers carried out some “investigative actions” with the latter.
Some “media” stated, that Gorlov “was detained while receiving a bribe of six million rubles under the gasification and infrastructure program”, while others said that “information, as well as a video of the investigative actions with the detention of … Gorlov, are being delayed”, since allegedly even the occupiers’ punishers “are a little shocked by the amount of the bribe and the entourage of its receipt”.
Let us recall, that Gorlov, the former deputy mayor of Sochi, ended up in Sevastopol as a protégé of a clan competing with Razvozhaev’s bosses and was “transferred” from Russia to “wait out” a series of corruption scandals.
Earlier, Gorlov “became famous” for the fact that in 2015 he was beaten by a Sochi resident after “administration employees decided to disconnect his house from the water supply until the violation was corrected.”
In November 2023, Razvozhaev tried to eliminate Gorlov and his protégés as much as possible from the corresponding “feeding troughs” in the sphere of “budget”, “tariffs” and “real estate”, but the “Sochi guest” turned out to have very serious Moscow patrons.
But at the end of May of this year, a “damning article” was written about Gorlov, which coincided with the removal of Andrei Turchak from the helm of “United Russia” in the Kremlin and his hasty transfer as governor to Altai.
In the article, in addition to fairly well-known things, such as Gorlov’s scams with the companies “MirTek”, “Aves-Stroy”, “Parks and Squares”, it was stated that the “vice-governor” allegedly “was detained for driving a vehicle while intoxicated”.
We wrote that the exposure of the “high-ranking drug addict” began to be promoted on a number of propaganda resources from “United Russia”, and that this was “a cold revenge served” from the clan, the collaborator-corruptor Igor Valis and his son, the “Sevastopol activist” Artur Taranov, previously removed by Gorlov from the trough in the “main department of state housing supervision”.
Therefore, it is not surprising that, as it has now “suddenly become clear”, the “traffic inspectors” of the occupiers in May “were preparing in advance to stop Gorlov”. It was also logical that Razvozhaev recently hastily “appointed” a “new head of the information policy department”, Alexander Nazarov, as a “media killer”, previously brought to the occupied city by the Gauleiter from his “small homeland”, Krasnoyarsk.
Obviously, now in the format of the expected “exposures of the corrupt official Gorlov” Razvozhaev needs “not to get involved with himself” and “clean up the information agenda” as much as possible according to the principle of “cutlets separately, flies separately”.
