the military commissar of the city of Moscow
0:13
sounds impressive and grand, doesn’t it?
0:16
A colonel, and now the head
0:19
of the Department of Regional Security and
0:21
— and my favorite part — the chief official for combating
0:24
corruption in Moscow. I’m talking about Vladimir
0:28
Vladimirovich Regnadsky. Honestly, I myself didn’t know
0:30
anything about him until recently, but
0:33
now his surname keeps coming up more and more often
0:36
because he is responsible for approving
0:38
— or rather, not approving — rallies in
0:41
Moscow. There he is — take a look, remember him.
0:44
Solid, respectable-looking.
0:45
There he is in uniform. Together with his
0:48
boss Gorbenko, they receive applications for
0:51
rallies and think: no, come on, what kind of rally is this?
0:54
For fair elections?
0:55
Denied. They look at people walking around Moscow or
0:58
just solitary picketers and decide
1:01
to detain them, arrest them, not let them through. And now it’s your turn too,
1:04
Colonel Regnadsky.
1:07
Let’s look at the disclosure statement: modesty itself. Income
1:11
only at the level of an ordinary official, no billions.
1:14
An average-sized apartment, but
1:16
then again, he is a military man — what more
1:19
could you expect? But what about
1:21
an apartment on the so-called Golden Mile
1:23
on Ostozhenka Street?
1:25
Look what I found here — this is an official extract
1:28
showing that our military
1:30
commissar received from the city of Moscow in 2010
1:34
an apartment of 150 square meters (about 1,615 square feet) in an elite
1:38
20-unit luxury club building, Cooper House.
1:42
One square meter in this building costs almost
1:45
1.5 million rubles, meaning the apartment
1:47
owned by Regnadsky is worth about 200 million rubles
1:50
— that’s his salary for 40 years, just so you know. He could
1:53
sell it tomorrow for that kind of money and
1:55
never work another day in his life. Or
1:58
rent it out for 350,000–400,000 rubles a month — not bad either. But in
2:02
his disclosure statement, the apartment is nowhere to be found. Apparently
2:06
he really didn’t want anyone to know about his
2:08
real wealth.
2:09
It turns out he transferred the apartment to his
2:12
74-year-old mother, and now the apartment is
2:15
supposedly no longer his. Moscow pensioners
2:18
sure do live well, with 200-million-ruble apartments.
2:21
Look again at how the Moscow
2:25
OMON riot police (special police units) knock down
2:27
Muscovites peacefully walking around the city: one person is on the ground, three
2:32
are holding him, and a fourth keeps beating him. That’s Regnadsky
2:35
protecting his golden square meters
2:38
on Ostozhenka. This apartment was given to
2:44
Regnadsky by the city of Moscow. It was paid for out of
2:47
the budget — that is, in effect, we simply
2:50
took money from our taxes and handed
2:52
200 million rubles to Regnadsky, and now
2:56
he gives orders to beat us with batons.
2:59
Smart Voting is the only
3:02
way to get rid of these fabulously
3:04
rich scoundrels in office. Not a single
3:08
sane deputy or
3:10
uncorrupted city hall official
3:11
would ever have allowed the city to hand out
3:14
apartments like this in so-called luxury club buildings
3:17
on Ostozhenka. On what grounds? For what?
3:20
Let’s stop this together.
3:23
Sign up for Smart Voting.
3:25
Vote only for the candidate who has
3:28
the best chance of defeating the United Russia candidate.
3:31
If all the Muscovites watching this video
3:33
do this, then on September 9 a lot of
3:37
upset United Russia politicians will be
3:39
packing up their things and vacating
3:41
their offices. Don’t miss this opportunity.
