Illegal Dentists, Punished Official, Snow Return: Voronezh Roundup
More than 60% of dental clinics in Voronezh Region operate in violation of the law: either without a license or not registered in state drug control systems. In other words, they are illegal. These shocking conclusions were reached by experts from the Public Consumer Initiative, who analyzed data from the tax authorities, Roszdravnadzor (Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare), and the drug labeling system. As a result, our region made the top 10 in terms of the number of illegal dental clinics. Voronezh1.ru sent requests to Roszdravnadzor and the Ministry of Health, but officials have seven days to respond. In the meantime, we decided to find out the opinions of Voronezh patients and studied their reviews of clinics. We started with private ones — and were impressed. For example, one person writes that they paid a considerable sum, but ultimately had to have their teeth retreated. Read it and share your own memories of visits to the dentist in the comments.
The first deputy minister of education of Voronezh Region, Elena Gantselevich, is being prosecuted for indifference and formalism. Prosecutors found that Elena Ivanovna violated the established procedure when responding to an appeal from a mother of many children — the answer was off-topic and, in general, amounted to nothing. The supervisory authority initiated a case, which was reviewed by a magistrate court. It imposed a punishment on the official, but somehow surprisingly lenient.
And more on violators. The founder of the GC «Russian Appetite» and former regional parliament deputy Andrei Prytykin has become a defendant in a second criminal case. He is currently on trial for attempted bribery during the 2020 elections. Now the Investigative Committee has suspected Andrei Alexandrovich of evading taxes amounting to 700 million rubles (approximately $7,777,800 at current rates) in his food service business. What an astonishingly eventful life some Voronezh residents have. Does the “king of pies” plead guilty, what sentence does he face — details of the scandalous story here.
If you’ve been waiting for the next installment of the sports-glamour saga «Kostyleva vs. Plyushchenko», sit back. The scandalous mother of young Voronezh figure skater Lenochka Kostyleva — a favorite of Yevgeny Plyushchenko — stated that she does not rule out moving abroad… as part of marrying a foreigner. She says her daughter is not appreciated in Russia. But what the mother’s husbands and place of residence have to do with it — Irina has a legal husband in Voronezh — is hard to explain logically. However, logic has never been a hallmark of this quarrelsome story from the start. But maybe you’ll understand something by reading the latest revelations by Irina Kostyleva.
Meanwhile, life in Voronezh goes on. A new residential complex was left without water due to a utility accident — streets were flooded, and cars froze into huge puddles. Residents of one street wait for an hour in the bitter cold at a bus stop because the city administration “optimized” another bus route. As for the region, weather forecasters are predicting the return of snowfall — here is the weather forecast for Voronezh for the coming days. But there is also good news: a free accident commissioner service has appeared in the city, helping to handle minor traffic accidents under the Europrotocol without police. Authorities hope this will reduce traffic jams. Full information on the schedule of these patrols and the phone numbers to call them is in our article.
And for those Voronezh residents who happen to be traveling by train through Tambov Region this evening, only sympathy can be offered. There, freight train cars carrying gasoline derailed and caught fire. At the time of publication, eight long-distance passenger trains were delayed, including one traveling from Voronezh to Moscow.
