Crimean Deputy Prime Minister swore on the plane - he was detained by the police
Crimean Deputy Prime Minister Yevgeny Kabanov, who oversees the implementation of the Federal Target Program for the region's development, swore at flight attendants and refused to comply with sanitary requirements during a flight from Moscow to Simferopol. Crimean activist Alexander Talipov stated this on his blog, citing a complaint from Aeroflot, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Talipov publishes a document - the Aeroflot airline, on whose flight Kabanov was flying on February 23 of this year, sent a letter to the Russian Presidential Envoy to the Southern Federal District Vladimir Ustinov with a request to understand the situation.
“After landing in Simferopol, Kabanov E.K. was handed over to law enforcement officials. When leaving the aircraft, Kabanov E.K. swore obscenely at the flight attendants, insulting their dignity. According to available information, Kabanov E.K. is Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea. By reporting the incident, the management of Aeroflot PJSC believes that this incident will not go unnoticed by you,” reads the text of the letter, a copy of which was published by Talipov.
“This is the second senior Crimean official this week who got into a scandal with obscenities,” the social activist emphasized.
As a reminder, Kabanov was previously caught violating the self-isolation regime that was in effect in Crimea last spring. While most Crimeans were staying home, the deputy prime minister showed off vacation photos on his blog.
Before his appointment, Kabanov was one of the largest developers in Sevastopol. His father was once the head of the construction department of the Black Sea Fleet, which observers explained the rapid rise in the career of Kabanov Jr. (born in 1982).
According to one version, the current appearance of compromising materials is connected with Kabanov’s desire to participate in the State Duma elections from the ruling party, where there are not enough places on the list for everyone.
In the spring of 2020, former Sevastopol Governor and later Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Dmitry Ovsyannikov was expelled from the United Russia party and subsequently lost his post due to a disturbance at the airport.
