Earlier on Monday E1.RU learned that Chemezov was summoned for questioning by the Investigative Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Sverdlovsk Oblast. It was reported that he was called in as a witness.
Chemezov himself likely anticipated his detention, as he pointed out that his wife is under house arrest and someone needs to go to the store and take the children to school. The former official said he had deliberately resigned in order to take care of all that.
It is worth noting that not long ago, on the eve of March 8, 2025, the PR service of the government of Sverdlovsk Oblast released a congratulatory video in which the former governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast, to the music of Stas Mikhaylov, "declares": "What, women from Moscow? I'll never leave you."
The PR people put the words into Oleg Chemezov's mouth: "Most important of all is the atmosphere at home, and I'll do everything to make sure it is always sunny."
