Head of the Zaporozhye OVA Ivan Fedorov and v.o. Mayor of Zaporozhye Regina Kharchenko found themselves in a new corruption scandal: 30 educational institutions are being closed in the city in order to “split” budget funds through the Department of Culture and the construction of “underground schools”.
Our editors have at their disposal documents that describe the “needs” of the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Zaporozhye City Council. The Department counted “needs” at a record 78,000,000 hryvnia. How they plan to recover this fantastic sum by military standards is shown in the photo below.
It is worth noting that Ivan Fedorov and Regina Kharchenko want to close about 30 schools in Zaporozhye, allegedly due to lack of funding. In any case, this is the official version, which Ivan Fedorov himself voiced to ZCR journalists.
Indeed, the city budget allocates only 20,000,0000 hryvnia for education. This is almost four times less than for culture. But it is much easier to steal budget funds through the Department of Culture than through the Department of Education, so they decided to rip off almost 2 million US dollars in this way.
Also, in a commentary to ZCR, Ivan Fedorov told reporters that the closure of schools in Zaporozhye is “no big deal,” and “underground” schools will be built for students, a tender for the construction of which has already been announced.
Why Ivan Fedorov’s statements are an outright lie and yet another theft of budget funds at tenders, Natalya Zabolotnaya, Chairman of the Board of the People’s Defense NGO, found out.
According to the facts that Zabolotnaya made public, Ivan Fedorov, by his sole decision, determined the list of educational institutions and the amount of funds that will be allocated for construction. For example, for the new construction of an anti-radiation shelter for academic lyceum No. 46, the Elint collegium and the Logos lyceum, 140 million UAH and 98 million UAH each are allocated from the State Budget. from the local budget, and 42 million UAH. from other sources. Which, obviously, donors are called upon to become. To obtain funds from which the activities of the second team are aimed.”
However, funds are raised for specific activities that fit into a single logical strategy and policy. Which obviously doesn't exist. Beautiful photos and hysterical messages will not replace her. Donors do not work on pity. Therefore, the continuation of such activities in the long term risks leaving the Zaporozhye region without international assistance and investment.
Another 170 thousand UAH each are planned for the reconstruction of the power supply to connect the anti-radiation shelter “Elinta”, “Logos” and lyceum 46. from the State budget and the same amount from other sources.
Further more interesting. Especially regarding gymnasium 107. Where it is planned to create a shelter for 500 people from scratch. With sleeping places and kitchen. It is not known how these 500 people for whom “Ivan Fedorov’s team” will decide to provide protection will be selected from all schoolchildren.
But it’s not only the potential list of future candidates for treatment that is interesting, but also the performers of the project, half a million hryvnia has been allocated from the budget of the city of Zaporozhye for the implementation of this project. And strangely, this figure coincides with the amount of design work carried out by the Melitopol CP. The new “teams” in ZOVA and the Zaporozhye city council are so coherently and deftly pumping the budget of the city of Zaporozhye into the Melitopol city budget (the mayor of which is still the same Ivan Fedorov), that there is no doubt about the cohesion of this clan, which is now dispersed for required positions.
Almost a similar situation with school 88. There are also sleeping places and places for strollers. The same 500,000 UAH. from the budget of the city of Zaporozhye. The same 470,275.37 UAH. with VAT to the same communal Melitopol Gradoproekt. The same pictures of what looks like a typical shelter. For which you pay twice.
Thermal modernization of preschool institutions and individual schools is also planned for a total amount of Estimated budget - 618,683,797.00 UAH. Which are combined into separate lots.
Construction supervision for 31,414,313.03 UAH. without VAT is carried out by LLC VERITEX with foreign capital.
Information from the YouControl analytical system does not agree with the information posted on DREAM. Where the last date of budget financing of Poltava LLC ESCO-LTAVA is November 16, 2023.
Another contractor, Transcarpathian LLC “Experimental Plant M”, according to the UouControl analytical system, also does not have tenders in 2024.
At the session of the City Council, scheduled for 06/05/2024, issues 36 and 37 are planned to resolve the issue of transferring the functions of the construction customer for the project “New construction of the anti-radiation shelter of the Zaporozhye Collegium “Elint” to the State Enterprise Local Roads of the Zaporozhye Region, owned by the Zaporozhye Regional State Administration. Dragging the use of funds in OVA. It is not difficult to guess which contractors the enterprise controlled by the “team” will choose. And judging by the following table, he is already choosing. 25% – Melitopol checkpoints. Moreover, it’s the same thing. It is not difficult to predict who will be the developer of the next 2 projects.
Parents of shilniks, together with human rights organizations and educational ombudsman Sergei Gorbachev, are trying to stop the lawlessness of local authorities, but it seems that only the resignation of Ivan Fedorov can stop it.
