Vladimir Putin held a meeting with Accounts Chamber Chair Tatyana Golikova and Sergei Stepashin, who headed the Accounts Chamber until September 20, 2013. http://www.kremlin.ru/news/19324 The Accounts Chamber was granted the right to use cars with flashing beacons. October 1, 2013, 17:37
Moscow, October 1. INTERFAX.RU — The Accounts Chamber has been granted the right to use vehicles with special signals. The corresponding decree by the Russian president has been published on the official legal information portal. According to the document, the Accounts Chamber has been added to the list of state bodies whose vehicles may be equipped with special light and sound signals without special identifying markings on the exterior of those cars. http://www.interfax.ru/russia/news.asp?id=332081 Well, finally. Now that the Accounts Chamber’s main problem has been solved, everything will start working. How could it possibly function without a flashing beacon? The Accounts Chamber is exactly the kind of agency that absolutely needs one. After all, it puts out fires, rushes bleeding people to hospitals, and has to speed to crime scenes to collect its cut. There is simply no other way for Tatyana Golikova to get around this awful city, which produces nothing and is populated by janitors, drivers, “office plankton” (a Russian slang term for low-level white-collar office workers), service-sector employees, and, at best, bloggers, except with a flashing beacon. The work priorities have been set correctly.
They’ve really made themselves comfortable over there.
