Here is Vladimir Nikolayevich Laptev, head of the administration of Noginsky District.
There are three noteworthy facts about Vladimir Nikolayevich: He has more medals and honors than Brezhnev (the long-serving Soviet leader famously associated with a chest full of decorations). Here is the list: Awards presented by the President of the Russian Federation: Order of Honor, Order of Friendship, Order of the “Golden Star for Loyalty to Russia,” Zhukov Medal, Medal “In Commemoration of the 850th Anniversary of Moscow,” Medal “For Courage in a Fire.” Awards from ministries, agencies, and public foundations (partial list): Order of Peace, 2nd Class; Golden Star “Hero of Labor”; Golden Star “Honor, Pride and Glory of Russia”; Order “Defender of Russia,” 3rd Class; Medal named after A.I. Pokryshkin, three-time Hero of the Soviet Union; Russian Defense Ministry medals “For Military Valor” and “For Strengthening Combat Brotherhood”; Russian Emergencies Ministry medal “Participant in Emergency Humanitarian Operations”; Russian Interior Ministry medal “200 Years of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia”; Russian Emergencies Ministry badge “For Merit”; badge “300 Years of the Russian Fleet”; badge “For Distinction in Traffic Police Service,” 2nd Class, Moscow Region medal “For Impeccable Service”; Moscow Region Governor’s badges “For Usefulness,” “For Labor and Diligence,” “Thank You,” and “For Military Service”; Moscow Region jubilee badge “For Great Contribution to the Socioeconomic and Cultural Development of the Moscow Region and in Connection with the 70th Anniversary of the Formation of Moscow Region”; badge “For Merit to Moscow Region”; certificates and badge of the Moscow Regional Duma “For Merit in Legislative Activity”; gold medal “For Contribution to the Development of Russia’s Agro-Industrial Complex,” Honorary badge “For Merit in the Development of the Olympic Movement in Russia”; award of the N.P. Starostin International Spartak Physical Culture and Sports Society — Order of Spartak “For Faith, Love and Devotion,” Awards of the Russian Orthodox Church: Order of St. Sergius of Radonezh, 3rd Class; Order of the Holy Blessed Prince Daniel of Moscow, 3rd Class; Order of the Russian Orthodox Church of St. Innocent, Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna, 3rd Class; Order of the Russian Orthodox Church in the name of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Grand Prince Vladimir, 3rd Class. V.N. Laptev is an Honorary Citizen of the city of Noginsk, Moscow Region; Veteran of Labor; Best Manager of Russia; full member of the Academy of Management in Education and Culture; full member of the International Academy of Social Sciences; full member of the International Academy of Patronage; full member of the Peter the Great Academy of Sciences and Arts; laureate of the Peter the Great National Prize; laureate of the All-Russian “Russian National Olympus” Prize; holder of the honorary title “Social Regional Leader of Russia”; member of the Assistance Council of the Russian Olympic Committee; Honorary Member of the Moscow Region Aikido Federation; President of the women’s basketball club Spartak (Noginsk, Moscow Region). The real pearl in V. N. Laptev’s treasure chest of awards is this one: For* his major personal contribution to implementing socioeconomic policy aimed at maintaining the quality of life of the district’s population during the socioeconomic crisis, V.N. Laptev was awarded the international “Birmingham Torch” prize. (*details about this prestigious award) Vladimir Nikolayevich heads the richest municipal district in the world. Yes indeed. Exactly that. And if you start sending me all sorts of links saying that Noginsky District’s budget deficit in 2012 was 181 million rubles, and this year it is 177 million rubles, I’ll laugh in your face.
http://zakupki.gov.ru/pgz/public/action/orders/info/common_info/show?notificationId=5544500 Can anyone believe that the head of a district running a budget deficit is buying himself FOUR Lexus 570s?
And let me remind you: this is the most expensive and most luxurious full-size SUV in mass production. One car costs almost 5 million rubles. Looking at this purchase order, I simply cannot believe the lying information about Noginsky District: At the latest meeting of the District Council, chaired by district head and Council of Deputies chairman Vladimir Laptev, deputies reviewed and adopted the draft budget of Noginsky Municipal District for 2013. The report was delivered by Irina Buzurnaya, head of the Financial and Treasury Department. The 2013 budget of Noginsky District was set at the following levels: revenue — 3,690,502 thousand rubles; expenditure — 3,867,502 thousand rubles, with a deficit of 177 million rubles. All of this is the work of agents of influence and oppositionists. They distorted the article. In the original, it actually reads like this: At the latest meeting of the District Council, chaired by district head and Council of Deputies chairman Vladimir Laptev, deputies were unable to review and adopt the draft budget of Noginsky Municipal District for 2013. Irina Buzurnaya, head of the Financial and Treasury Department, regretfully noted that the district has so much money that it is simply impossible to count it. Last month, several scandals broke out in the district: local motorists, exhausted from driving on the overly perfect roads of Noginsky District, could only be calmed down with the help of OMON (Russian riot police). A decision was made to distribute the surplus funds to lonely pensioners across the district: they are too weak to resist when bundles of cash are thrown into their apartments. That’s the only way to read it. After all, the very thought is sacrilegious that V. N. Laptev could calmly listen to the melodious clinking of his “300 Years of the Fleet” medal striking his “Birmingham Torch” medal if he knew that these 20 million rubles spent on luxury Lexuses had in fact been stolen by him and his administration from the residents of Noginsky District. Because, after all, Vladimir Nikolayevich Laptev is a member of United Russia. That alone says quite a lot about his moral character. The skeptics from RosPil, who filed a complaint about the purchase of these Lexuses, will no doubt be put to shame. There. While writing this post, I realized I was tired of writing it in this infernal joking tone. It makes me furious when I see orders like this. What lying, disgusting swine all these United Russia Laptevs are. They’ve latched onto the budget, hung themselves with medals, and now they want Lexuses. Not a decent foreign car, but the best one. *And not one, but four. Real parasites. When will people finally start blowing them up together with these Lexuses? Enemies of the people. I honestly see no difference between Laptev simply stealing 20 million from the budget (and buying himself a personal Lexus with it) and spending that same money on a so-called official Lexus for his own use. As usual, along with the complaint, we are calling on everyone to take part in a small DMP campaign to bring this United Russia scum to its senses. A successful Astrakhan campaign was used as the model. Google Analytics tells us that this little blog is visited by 4,620 users from Noginsk:
Here is our DMP site: http://lexus.mashina.org/ There you can download a flyer in a convenient format and print it out:
If at least a thousand civically minded residents of Noginsk distribute 20–30 flyers each in apartment building entrances and elevators, then people walking past the district administration building and the office of the “Party of Crooks and Thieves” will spit at their signs 34% more often. And this autumn there is also the Moscow Region gubernatorial election, in which Vorobyov is running — a man whose track record contains nothing but “United Russia” and an Emergencies Ministry father. You would be helping a lot if you forwarded this post (or the site http://lexus.mashina.org/ ) to your acquaintances/friends/colleagues living in Noginsky District. Sharing it on local websites, forums, in comments on local media sites, etc. is welcome. Let me remind you that RosPil’s amendment banning officials from buying cars costing more than 2 million rubles has been sitting in the State Duma for several months now, even though it has been supported by every faction except United Russia. (This is in response to the question, “where are the opposition’s concrete proposal”)) It is precisely the United Russia people who are blocking it. They bear direct responsibility for the fact that any petty bureaucratic hack in the country can buy himself a Mercedes with budget money. http://lexus.mashina.org/ Don’t be lazy. No one but us is going to take down the gang of Crooks and Thieves.
