"Regional authority is collapsing": political scientist compares Kuyvashev to Starovoyt
"Regional power is crumbling": Political analyst compares Kuivashev to Starovoit
Today at 13:26. Political analyst Aleksey Yaroshenko stated that the situations in Kursk and Sverdlovsk regions are similar. According to him, after the release from a pre-trial detention center of the former Minister of Housing and Utilities of the Middle Urals, Nikolay Smirnov, the former governor Yevgeny Kuivashev could be under attack.

Yaroshenko believes that no deputy or minister acts independently. The political analyst links Kuivashev's case to high-profile cases, including that of former Transport Minister and ex-Governor of Kursk Oblast Roman Starovoit.
He mentions that the housing and utility sector is underfunded, yet large amounts of money are regularly allocated there.
"Everything happening fits into a model that can conditionally be called the 'Starovoit syndrome': when after the resignation of a governor, a domino effect begins—arrests, testimonies, disclosures, and the entire regional vertical collapses like a house of cards. This is confirmed both by the Kursk case and, possibly, Sverdlovsk now. Ministers and governors who are unable to control and prevent corruption under their noses," Yaroshenko told Tsargrad.
In his opinion, a new phase will begin after Smirnov's release. If his testimonies form the basis of a case against Kuivashev, it could become one of the most high-profile regional corruption cases in recent years, writes EAN.
