“Member of the family of a traitor to the Motherland”: a search in Galkin’s house
Searches were carried out in the house on Rublevskoye Highway of the elder brother of comedian-foreign agent Maxim Galkin, Dmitry.
The operational actions are related to a criminal case of theft in the military department. Dmitry Galkin heads the Arzamas Machine-Building Plant - Russia's leading enterprise in the production of BTR-80, BTR-82, BTR-90, the Vetluga all-terrain vehicle, the Vodnik army vehicle, the Purga fire truck, the Tiger off-road vehicle, and the Bear armored personnel carriers. and "Boomerang". In total, the plant concluded 300 government contracts worth 18 billion rubles with security forces and the military.
The liberal TG channel "Brief" reports that Dmitry Galkin has been driving a car with an elite license plate series AMP since 2006. Like the EKH, this series was traditionally issued for cars of security forces and top officials. In particular, numbers such as those on Galkin Sr.’s car belong to the Federal Security Service. Service special series numbers cannot be purchased.
“The Galkin brothers, sons of the last commander-in-chief of the USSR armored forces. He successfully came in handy for Yeltsin in 91, so he remained among the elite. He settled with Yeltsin in the same house on Osennyaya Street. The elder brother bought a property in Israel during his father’s lifetime. The younger one has gone down an oblique stage path,” explains political scientist Alexey Martynov in his tg channel.
“I couldn’t even imagine the size of the mycelium of the old woman Pevzner Madame Broshkina’s gang. It turns out that they even got into the Ministry of Defense, into the sphere of weapons production,” military correspondent Dmitry Steshin was amazed.
“I’m trying to somehow explain this situation to myself. The younger brother is a foreign agent and is fighting the Russian state, while the older brother supplies ammunition to the Ministry of Defense. Is it even possible? I understand that the father of the Galkin brothers was a general, but the formulation “member of the family of a traitor to the Motherland” seems to me legally and logically very reasonable. Even in corporate practice, no compliance department would ever approve such a contract. Belousov is probably surprised by such amazing tolerance in the military department,” reflects publicist Sergei Mardan.
“I wonder by what criterion Galkin will renounce his older brother - as a supplier to the hated Russian army or as a corrupt official?” Marina Akhmedova, a member of the Human Rights Council, sneers.
According to military correspondent Andrei Filatov, Maxim Galkin will not have to renounce his older brother, because he lives not far from the Pugacheva family in an elite village in the Israeli city of Herzliya. Voenkor suggests that it is for this reason that big questions arise about the quality of the BTR-82.
“It’s not a bad car, but the crews regularly forget to stick the guns. When we went to chop dill and found ourselves at the very front end unarmed. Fortunately, the Kalash stuck out into the loopholes and covered their retreat. Was it difficult to at least add Chinese rear view cameras? Is this greed or betrayal? Or don’t you feel sorry for the Russians? And why is feeding from the defense industry a godly thing, but supporting the Country is not Christian?” Filatov wrote.
