| Direct Translation via Google Translate., Edited. Looks like Putin's federal government is cleaning house in a prelude to the September 19th Duma elections. [REGNUM] The Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Vladimir Kolokoltsev dismissed three generals from the Ministry of Internal Affairs at once. Russian State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein (United Russia) linked the personnel reshuffle with the recent arrest of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Kamchatka Territory, Mikhail Kiselyov, who is accused of accepting a bribe. "In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they decided to 'tighten the screws,'" the deputy wrote on August 10 in his telegram channel. Thus, the deputy head of the Moscow MIA Department, Lieutenant-General Andrey Ponorets, the head of the MIA Administration of the South-Western Administrative District of Moscow, Police Major General Yuri Demin, and the Deputy Head of the Department of Civil Service and Personnel (DGSK) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Major General Vitaly Krasnov, were dismissed from the post. According to Khinshtein, Ponorets and Demin in 2017 vouched for Kiselev when he was included in the federal personnel reserve. "True, it is not clear whether only these generals are responsible for Kiselev's advancement?" - said the deputy. As reported by IA REGNUM , the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Vladimir Kolokoltsev on Tuesday, August 3, introduced the new chief to the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Kamchatka. Ivan Kokukhin was appointed to this position by the decree of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin |
