Biography of Andrey Dunaev. Andrey Dunaev

Another shocking decision by the governor of the Moscow region Andrei Vorobyov to appoint all kinds of Varangian swindlers to various positions in government and local government of the Moscow region.

They decided to transfer the Golden Istrinsky district to the famous political figure Andrei Dunaev, who in explanation of the resignation of the Chairman of the Right Cause Party wrote about himself" Dunaev is a kind of dog of the regime."

According to the Office of the Press Service of the Governor and Government of the Moscow Region, on March 5, a working meeting between the Governor of the Moscow Region Andrei Vorobyov and the leadership of the Istra municipal district took place.

The head of the municipality, Anna Shcherba, introduced to the head of the Moscow region her first deputy and successor, Andrei Dunaev, who until 2013 was the chairman of the Right Cause political party.

“I know that you have introduced the position of first deputy head of the district, and the candidate who is being considered for this position is Andrei Gennadievich Dunaev. I have known Andrei Gennadievich for a long time from my work in parliament,” Andrei Vorobyov addressed the head of the Istrinsky district.

Anna Shcherba reported that after all the necessary procedures have been completed, Andrei Dunaev can begin his duties: “We held a council of deputies, approved the scheme, introduced a new position, the staffing table is now being formed, and I think that after the holidays Andrei Gennadievich can already go to work "

Andrei Vorobyov asked Andrei Dunaev to concentrate his work primarily on investment and the economy: “If our economy is limp, then the leadership reforms that we have outlined will be extremely difficult to implement. The main strategic task is the economy. I will also ask you to pay special attention to healthcare and housing and communal services. This year we adopted a federal law and we are starting a major renovation of apartment buildings. It is necessary to explain to residents the specifics and nuances of this system in as much detail as possible.”

Concluding the meeting, the governor noted that the effective work of Anna Shcherba as head of the Istrinsky district had brought the municipality to a leadership position, and asked Andrei Dunaev to be guided by her experience.

“You are a competent person, you have proven yourself in work in the political structure. Working in a municipality is very difficult. “I ask you to follow the example of Anna Nikolaevna - constantly communicate with residents,” said Andrei Vorobyov. - Anna Nikolaevna loves her area very much. We wanted to invite her to work in the Government of the Moscow Region, but she asked to stay in the Istra district and do what she liked. We met halfway, but in any case, this proposal is valid.”

Here is what Istra.RF reports about the Varangian:

Istrians will be interested in information about the new appointee.
Andrey Gennadievich Dunaev, politician, ex-leader of the Right Cause party (headed the party from February to December 2012), lawyer. From September 2011 to February 2012, he was the acting chairman of Right Cause; from August 2011 to January 2012, he was the head of the Moscow branch of Right Cause. Founder of the Interregional legal consulting group "Diktum-Faktum". Previously, he was chairman of the executive committee of the Right Cause party (2008-2011). Andrey Gennadievich Dunaev was born on January 10, 1977. In 1997, he graduated from the Faculty of Mechanization of Reclamation Works of the Moscow State University of Environmental Management, and after that, from 1997 to 2001, he served under a contract in the Federal Counterintelligence Service. Having started his service as a warrant officer, within four years Dunaev became a senior lieutenant as a senior forensic investigator. During his service, he investigated mainly anti-terrorism cases.

According to the official biography, in 2002 - 2003 Dunaev “worked in various commercial structures.” In an interview with the Moscow News publication, Dunaev once said that he resigned from FSK because “it was very difficult to feed his family, he had to earn money,” and that after his dismissal he worked in his sister’s company. The company was engaged in the wholesale supply of floor coverings, but after employees of the department for combating economic crimes sealed the company's warehouse due to suspicions of smuggling, Dunaev began to look for another job. In 2003, Dunaev graduated from the State University of Management (with honors) with a degree in Jurisprudence, after which he began working in the legal department of Agency LUKOM-A LLC (a subsidiary of NK Lukoil), where he organized the activities of regional representative offices. Simultaneously with his work at Lukoil, in 2006 Dunaev became the founder of the Interregional Legal Consulting Group "Diktum-Factum" (specialization - all types of audit, taxes, outsourcing, as well as legal advice). In 2008, Dunaev’s name began to be mentioned in connection with the new right-wing party being created by the Kremlin based on the “old” parties “Civil Force” (CS), the Democratic Party of Russia (DPR) and the “Union of Right Forces” (SPS). In November 2008, the DPR, GS and SPS were dissolved. It was reported that Dunaev was one of the founders of Right Cause. After the creation of the party, he was elected to its Federal Political Council and approved as chairman of its executive committee, occupying this position under the “Civil Force” quota.

At the same time, Kommersant, citing one of the co-chairs of Right Cause, reported that Dunaev’s candidacy was recommended by the Kremlin. Later, in 2011, the president of the Center for Political Analytics, Mikhail Tulsky, in an interview with Radio Liberty, spoke about Dunaev as the personal lawyer of Radiy Khabirov, deputy head of the Russian Presidential Administration for Domestic Policy, which for a long time was supervised by the now former first deputy head of the presidential administration Vladislav Surkov, who has long been the country's chief political strategist and is considered the "father" of United Russia. Let us recall that the current governor of the Moscow region, Andrei Vorobyov, again held leadership positions in United Russia for a long time.

Chairman of the Right Cause Party

Chairman of the Right Cause party since February 2012, lawyer. From September 2011 to February 2012, he was the acting chairman of Right Cause; from August 2011 to January 2012, he was the head of the Moscow branch of Right Cause. Founder of the Interregional legal consulting group "Diktum-Faktum". Previously, he was chairman of the executive committee of the Right Cause party (2008-2011).

Andrey Gennadievich Dunaev was born on January 10, 1977. In 1997, he graduated from the Faculty of Mechanization of Reclamation Works of the Moscow State University of Environmental Management, and after that, from 1997 to 2001, he served under a contract in the Federal Counterintelligence Service. Having started his service as a warrant officer, within four years Dunaev became a senior lieutenant as a senior forensic investigator. During his service, he investigated mainly anti-terrorism cases.

According to the official biography, in 2002 - 2003 Dunaev “worked in various commercial structures.” In an interview with the Moscow News publication, Dunaev said that he quit FSK because “it was very difficult to feed his family, he had to earn money,” and that after his dismissal he worked in his sister’s company. The company was engaged in the wholesale supply of floor coverings, but after employees of the department for combating economic crimes sealed the company’s warehouse due to suspicions of smuggling, Dunaev began to look for another job.

In 2003, Dunaev graduated from the State University of Management (with honors) with a degree in jurisprudence, after which he began working in the legal department of Agency LUKOM-A LLC (a subsidiary of NK Lukoil), where he was involved in organizing the activities of regional representative offices.

Simultaneously with his work at Lukoil in 2006, Dunaev became the founder of the Interregional Legal Consulting Group "Diktum-Faktum" (specialization - all types of audit, taxes, outsourcing, as well as legal advice).

In 2008, Dunaev’s name began to be mentioned in connection with the new right-wing party being created by the Kremlin, based on the “old” parties “Civic Force” (GS), the Democratic Party of Russia (DPR) and the “Union of Right Forces” (SPS). In November 2008, the DPR, GS and SPS were dissolved. The founding congress of the new party, called “Right Cause,” which took place in the same month, approved its three co-chairs - they were the chairman of “Business Russia” Boris Titov, as well as former deputy chairman of the Union of Right Forces Leonid Gozman and journalist Georgy Bovt. It was reported that Dunaev was one of the founders of Right Cause. After the creation of the party, he was elected to its Federal Political Council and approved as chairman of its executive committee, occupying this position under the “Civil Force” quota. At the same time, the media, which noted that his “political past” as chairman of the executive committee of “Right Cause” was “unknown,” indicated that Dunaev’s former party affiliation was restored only “based on surveys of ex-party leaders”: in news reports about new appointments Dunaev did not appear as a member of the "Civil Force" , , , . Dunaev himself later said that he “came to Just Cause completely by accident”: he was called into the party as a lawyer who had no relation to any of the parties on the basis of which Right Cause was created, so that he would be “a kind of organizational center making decisions so that there are no distortions in one direction, another, or a third."

In the same month, Kommersant, citing Titov, reported that Dunaev’s candidacy was recommended by the Kremlin. Later, in 2011, the president of the Center for Political Analytics, Mikhail Tulsky, in an interview with Radio Liberty, spoke about Dunaev as the personal lawyer of Radiy Khabirov, deputy head of the Russian Presidential Administration for Domestic Policy, which is supervised by the first deputy head of the presidential administration, Vladislav Surkov.

As the head of the executive committee of the Right Cause, Dunaev took an active part in the work related to the registration of the organization (it was noted that it was he who “was entrusted with the registration of the party in the Ministry of Justice”). The registration certificate for “Right Cause” was issued on February 18, 2009, , .

In December 2009, Boris Titov wrote a letter of resignation from his post as co-chairman of Right Cause. He named the reason for his action as a conflict with another co-chairman of the party, Gozman, caused by a divergence of views on “how the party should work.” After this, the Kommersant newspaper noted, citing members of the party’s political council, his position was offered to Dunaev, but he refused - in his own words, “due to lack of political experience.” In January 2010, the political council of "Right Cause", having considered Titov's application, decided that he would remain co-chairman of the party until the organization's extraordinary congress.

Since mid-2009, reports regularly appeared in the press about the search for the sole leader of Right Cause. In April 2010, Dunaev said in an interview with Kommersant that the political council of Right Cause “has still not made any decisions on either the new structure of the party or the number of co-chairs.” Moreover, he noted that party members may not support a single leader (“... it’s not a fact that they will vote. The regions have different opinions on this matter, and people need to be convinced”).

Discussions about the leader of Right Cause intensified as the State Duma elections, scheduled for December 2011, approached. In the spring of 2011, Mikhail Prokhorov, a well-known entrepreneur and president of the Onexim Group investment fund, agreed to head Right Cause. In June of the same year, at the Right Cause congress, he joined the party. At the same time, he was elected as its chairman (co-chairmanship positions in the party were abolished) and endowed with unlimited powers. In the same month, Prokhorov, in connection with his entry into politics, left all the leadership positions he held in commercial companies, , , .

However, already in September of the same year, rumors appeared in the press that the question of Prokhorov’s resignation would be raised at the Right Cause pre-election congress. According to some reports, the conflict in the party arose due to the inclusion of the head of the City Without Drugs Foundation, Yevgeny Roizman, on the electoral list.

On September 14, 2011, Dunaev, in the absence of Prokhorov, opened the Right Cause congress. According to the head of the party, in essence, there was a “hijacking of the congress” by his opponents: “illegal” delegates were registered at the party congress in order to vote on the resignation of the party leader. Prokhorov declared the results of the first day of the congress illegitimate, after which he expelled a number of his opponents from the party - Andrei Bogdanov, Sergei and Alexander Ryavkin - and dissolved the executive committee of the Right Cause headed by Dunaev.

On September 15, at the Right Cause congress chaired by Dunaev and Bogdanov, Prokhorov was removed from the leadership of the party. Dunaev was appointed acting party leader, and the expulsion of the brothers Ryavkin and Bogdanov was cancelled. Representatives of the Ministry of Justice previously recognized the congress of the “Right Cause” under the leadership of Dunaev as legitimate, and the politician himself did not rule out that “after consultations he will be elected leader of the “Right Cause”.” Prokhorov, together with Roizman, at an alternative meeting to the congress, announced their departure from the party and called on all their supporters to follow their example.

Dunaev topped the Right Cause list in the elections to the State Duma of the sixth convocation; In addition to him, the top three on the list also included Bogdanov and 24-year-old professional tennis player Anna Chakvetadze. According to the official results of the parliamentary elections held on December 4, 2011, Right Cause received only 0.6 percent of the votes and did not receive representation in the lower house of parliament. The party decided not to nominate its own candidate for the presidential elections scheduled for March 2012. In January 2012, Dunaev left his post as head of the Moscow branch of the party.

At the “Right Cause” congress, held on February 24, 2012, Dunaev was elected party chairman on an uncontested basis: 69 delegates supported his candidacy, 6 voted against, and there were no abstentions. Vyacheslav Maratkanov was elected Dunaev's deputy. The congress also decided to support the candidacy of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in the upcoming presidential elections.

According to data published by the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation in October 2011 before the State Duma elections, Dunaev earned 2,175,660 rubles from the Second Moscow Regional Bar Association. In addition, he owned an apartment in Moscow, a BMW motorcycle and a Subaru car, and Dunaev had 63,763 rubles in his Sberbank accounts.

Dunaev was mentioned in the media as the author of publications on legal issues, as well as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Sport and Law". He himself is actively involved in sports and is a candidate for master of sports in hand-to-hand combat. He is also interested in volleyball and horse riding.

Andrei Vladimirovich Dunaev was born in Sayanogorsk in 1969, and as a child he moved with his parents to the Stavropol Territory. In the village of Krasnoye, Grachevsky district, he graduated from a music school, then entered the Stavropol Music College as a conductor of a folk choir.

He studied vocals at the Moscow State Institute of Culture and the Moscow State Conservatory. Tchaikovsky. In 2000, he was accepted into the troupe of the State Academic Bolshoi Theater of Russia and successfully debuted in Verdi's opera La Traviata. In 2001 he performed on tour in Holland, Germany, France, Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, and from 2005 to 2010 he signed a contract with the German Opera on the Rhine (Dusseldorf). From 2010-2012 he performed on the stage of the Dresden Semperoper, then returned to the Düsseldorf Theater, where he works to this day.

Andrey Dunaev is a laureate of international competitions: “Bella voce” (Moscow, 1998); New Voices (Germany, 1999); "Orpheus" (Hannover, Germany, 2000). He is a finalist and special prize winner at the Belvedere International Vocal Competition (Vienna, 2000). Laureate of the 2nd prize at the International Music Competition named after P.I. Tchaikovsky (2002), holder of the title “Golden Tenor of Russia”.

“I want to live at home”

I contacted the world-famous opera singer Andrei Dunaev on Skype, because there are thousands of kilometers from Stavropol to Dusseldorf.

Hello! - a friendly male voice came from another corner of the planet. Not even a minute had passed since the start of the conversation when the notebook with pre-prepared questions was left aside. And we, like old acquaintances, plunged into thoughts about great music, about true love for art, about the most precious memories and unexpected turns in life. In his natural incarnation, the opera star turned out to be simple, sociable, and endowed with an excellent sense of humor. From the first minutes of the conversation, Andrei Dunaev shared his main joy: “You know, I’m returning to Russia soon”...

- Andrey, you have been living in Germany for ten years! Didn't the thought of staying arise?

It happened... It’s difficult to live in uncertainty: endlessly touring countries and cities. At first I thought of settling in Germany, but quickly abandoned this idea. I’m finishing my last year in Dusseldorf and returning to Russia.

- But there is a whole army of people who dream of moving to Europe.

It’s one thing when you go abroad as a tourist, and quite another if the arrival time is calculated in years. In the second case, specific rights and responsibilities appear: pay taxes, go to work, accept and respect another culture... I had to tour a lot, so an understanding quickly emerged: no matter how beautiful a person finds himself in, he continues to look for his way home.

- Did your move to Germany justify itself?

Creatively, of course! To be honest, in Russia I was not offered such an abundance of repertoire. Over the years of working abroad, I have performed parts that I could only dream of. Right now, for example, rehearsals are underway for Jules Massenet’s opera “Werther” - it’s a great honor to touch such a brilliant work.

Andrey enthusiastically shared his creative plans, talked about those brilliant roles that replenished his “musical piggy bank”. But even at these moments one could feel a strengthened love for Russia. It’s not for nothing that they say that a person, like a tree, has roots, and if they are strong, then he will overcome anything. Such love gives, if not nine lives, then real immunity. For this private, distant, quiet love, I take off my imaginary hat to my interlocutor.

In a conversation, Andrei once noted that, despite all the dynamic development of his artistic career in Germany, it was difficult for him to talk about this period without irony.

- Tell me, did it take you a long time to get used to a foreign culture?

I cannot say that I was able to fully understand and accept her. People here are different - they think differently, behave differently, and even dress differently. For example, in Russia, men work more, and women do household chores. That's the way it is. In Germany, it seemed to me, most of the fairer sex are in an endless race, trying to “outdo” men in everything. In this senseless struggle, the main thing is distorted - the understanding of the role of a woman in the family...

- People are different, which means opera in Germany is different?

To be honest, the first year of work in Düsseldorf presented many “surprises”. For example, at the Bolshoi Theater, the troupe's rehearsals usually began after twelve o'clock - this schedule was kept on purpose so that the performers' voices had time to “wake up.” Germany has its own ideas about this. I remember they called from the opera house and said: “Andrey, tomorrow at ten in the morning we need to perform.” At first I even grinned - I thought they were joking.

Directing theater is also actively developing in Germany. This is generally a separate topic for discussion. The point is that the director is given complete freedom: he can turn the classic material around as he pleases. For connoisseurs of high art, his “brilliant” idea will only cause disappointment. I sang in such productions: it’s simply terrible!

- It feels like we live in different worlds.

There is a saying: Germany is a very good country, but for Germans.

- What creative plans do you have related to Russia?

If everything works out, I would love to go on stage at the Bolshoi Theater.

- Andrey, is the Russian public different from the European one?

Yes. This summer, the Bolshoi Theater soloist Nikolai Kazansky invited me to perform at a charity concert dedicated to the 116th anniversary of the wedding of Fyodor Chaliapin and Iola Tornaghi. According to established tradition, the event took place in the village of Gagino (not far from Sergiev Posad) on the territory adjacent to the Temple. I, of course, agreed. The concert brought together both professional performers and local creative groups. What a holiday it was! When the first part of the performances ended, a real downpour began. The disaster took everyone by surprise, so people took refuge in the Temple. The festivities continued when the clouds cleared. While the organizers were drying out the equipment, local folk performers decided to fill the pause. They sang without accompaniment, without microphones. I just wanted to start dancing! In Russia the public is more emotional and open. And the people who live on earth generally sincerely believe in God, they are not spoiled by attention, but their warmth seems to be enough for the whole world.

Today it is possible to write an impressive book about Andrei Dunaev. In a separate paragraph, tell how long it took the hero to get to the big stage. After all, creative destiny was very difficult at first. I studied at the Stavropol Music College, then had my first experience working at restaurant sites in Stavropol. This later helped him withstand the test of the capital, where the aspiring musician went to find his way. The path was not easy. Only he knows how many different auditions have been completed, how many thoughts have been changed and impressions experienced.

At the Moscow State Institute of Culture, Andrei Dunaev studied in the class of Mikhail Demchenko. This, by the way, is the first teacher who saw in his student the makings of an opera singer. Mikhail Ivanovich drew Andrey’s attention to this more than once.

I was sure that an opera singer is an obese person, so I competently objected to him: “Mikhail Ivanovich, what kind of opera singer am I! Look at me!". And in his last year at the institute, like all his classmates, he feverishly began looking for work. Found. He began to brighten up the leisure time of visitors to the capital's restaurants - he performed in a musical group, first as a backing vocalist, and then as a solo performer. Then life seemed to get better. However, after a couple of weeks, the employer stopped paying the musicians, and the entire creative group found themselves floating freely. Frankly, I was very angry and didn’t know where to go or what to do next. Difficult circumstances forced me to return to the idea of ​​opera. Literally on the last day I submitted documents to the Moscow State Conservatory. Tchaikovsky. While I was waiting for the results, I made a wish: if I pass the competition, I will stay in the capital, take up opera singing, and if not, I will return to Stavropol. In the end, I was accepted. Today I can say with confidence that this moment became a turning point in my life.

- Was this the only time when you decided to change everything like that, in one hour?

In my second year of study at the conservatory, I committed another reckless act, namely, I took part in the prestigious German competition “New Voices”. Moreover, there was not a single serious performance behind him. It’s difficult to judge what motivated me, because even teachers discouraged me from going to Germany. But my friends said in unison: “Perhaps this is your only chance.” Of course I took a risk. The competition was very difficult: in the first round the participants performed an aria, and in the second they acted out a fragment from the opera. Honestly, from an overabundance of excitement and self-doubt, I wanted to fall through the ground.

As a result, I was awarded second prize. I did not expect such success - I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. Of course, this gave me an incentive, because before winning the competition I doubted the correctness of the chosen path. Using the award we received, my wife and child lived carefree in the capital for six months!

...I remember in January 2010, Andrei Dunaev gave a concert at the Stavropol Regional State Philharmonic. His performance made a strong impression on the audience. Of course, it was not only the serious repertoire that attracted everyone’s attention, but also the name of the soloist of the Academic Bolshoi Theater of Russia and the Dusseldorf Opera. After all, one of the leading domestic tenors is not just a famous artist, but also our fellow countryman!

- What did you dream about as a child?

I was born in a northern city, so I wanted to become a hockey player (laughs). And when we moved to the village of Krasnoye, I began to become more deeply interested in music. No, not classic. I had a friend who was a “fan” of the ABBA group. Of course, his “disease” was passed on to me. It seemed that the best music in the world simply did not exist. I listened to their songs many times and knew every line by heart.

Your parents, Galina Andreevna and Vladimir Mikhailovich, are professional club workers. Isn't that where the next one comes from?

Everything I have comes from my mom and dad. Thanks to their sensitive attention and understanding, I was able to reach my level. When we moved to the Stavropol region, my father enrolled me in a music school. There I learned to play the button accordion. I admit, at times my overt boyishness took over - instead of studying music I wanted to hang out with friends. In such situations, dad always did the same: he locked me in the kitchen and I played the instrument for two or three hours.

Now I can say for sure that standing on the shore, you will never learn to swim. It’s the same in music: first there is a stage of study (I call it botany), followed by wonderful years of practice.

- Were you not offended by your parents for such harsh upbringing measures?

Honestly, I don't remember. It’s unlikely, otherwise my memories wouldn’t be so pleasant. After all, all of us together - mom, dad, two sisters and brother - performed as a family ensemble at rural and regional holidays, bringing joy to people working in the fields. And then, a little tired, but happy, they returned home on an old creaking bus, singing folk songs. It was a good time! Such “tours” left many pleasant impressions.

If I were a girl

I wouldn't waste time.

I wouldn't jump on the street

I'd wash the shirts...

At such moments, wings grow behind your back. I walk into the yard and feel that this is my “nest” - my father and I built the veranda together, we built the garage together, we put on the roof together... There’s a part of me there. If I come to my parents in the warm season, I make sure to set up an overnight stay outside: I enjoy the vast starry sky above my head. At night there comes a special time in the village, when you hear the flight of insects, the rustling of leaves on the trees, when you breathe in the warmed steppe air and feel that you are truly happy.

Since 2008, Dunaev’s name began to be mentioned when creating the new Right Cause party. Andrey Gennadievich became one of its founders and chairman of the executive committee. Joined the federal political council of this group. According to Dunaev, he got into Right Cause by accident. He was invited as a lawyer in the creation of this new political group.

Dunaev handled all registration issues. Andrei Gennadievich refused the position of co-chairman offered in 2009. In 2011, “Right Cause” was headed by Mikhail Prokhorov and soon recommended Dunaev to the post of head of the Moscow branch of the party. As a result, Andrei Gennadievich was elected to this position.

After some time, a number of conflicts of interest arose in the party, and Dunaev and Bogdanov removed Prokhorov from the leadership of Right Cause. became Andrey Gennadievich. Representatives of the Ministry of Justice recognized this reshuffle at the top as legitimate.

In the elections to the State Duma, Andrei Gennadievich Dunaev headed the list of deputies of the 6th convocation. At the beginning of 2012, he resigned from his leadership position in the party. But at the end of the year he was elected its chairman.

Passions of the Istra region

Istra district is one of the most picturesque in the Moscow region. The center is the city of Istra. In 2014, Dunaev A.G. was appointed to the post of head of the administration. Before taking office, Andrei Gennadievich promised to make every effort for the development and prosperity of the Istrinsky district. Dunaev’s responsibilities include executive and administrative functions that are related to economic activities.

The administration of the Istrinsky district was previously under the leadership of Anna Shcherba. But based on a statement (which was written and submitted to the authorities by Dunaev) about exceeding her official powers, the woman was arrested and removed from her post. And Andrei Gennadievich immediately took her place.

Over time, the new head of the Istrinsky district acquired a luxury car and even personal security. This raises a number of questions about the funds used to hire personal security, since Dunaev’s income, even in such a high position, does not exceed 200 thousand per month.

Soon, the head of the administration of the Istrinsky district began to receive criticism from Viktor Klimushkin, a city deputy and honored cultural worker. After some time, Andrei Gennadievich Dunaev fired him. Other local politicians are also dissatisfied and even outraged by the activities of the new head. But they have to remain silent, since all their attempts to tell the truth about the activities of the head of the district are suppressed. They claim that they are observing legal chaos and have become hostages to the ambitions of the ambitious new head of the district.

There were rumors that when Dunaev came to power, his entourage offered businessmen to buy positions in rural administrations. But so far there is no confirmation or refutation of this. The second example is that the deputies claimed that Andrei Gennadievich achieved unanimous approval of his candidacy by putting pressure on local politicians.

Before the meeting of deputies, at which the Charter was to be considered, Andrei Gennadievich Dunaev called everyone to him in turn. Those who have their own businesses were threatened to “strangle” him with police and tax audits if they did not support his candidacy. He locked some municipal officials in his office and did not even let them out to the toilet until he received from each one an “oath of allegiance” and silence about the lawlessness that was happening in the Istra district. And he made promises to write off any negative information as ordinary rumors.

Another example is a letter sent by Pyotr Romanov, deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on the Dispatch sent to Andrei Vorobyov, governor of the Moscow region. The letter describes in detail how Andrei Gennadievich abuses the power given to him and refuses to comply with court decisions.

But there was no check from the governor. He stated that he had known Dunaev for a long time and they worked together in parliament. Therefore, there will be no checks on Andrei Gennadievich’s activities. It was Andrei Vorobyov who brought Dunaev to Istra. In most cases, it is precisely this strong friendly alliance that covers up the excess of duties of some politicians.

The administration of the Istra district receives citizens monthly, every Tuesday, from 14:00 to 17:00. Once a month he travels to villages. Information about this for citizens wishing to get an appointment is communicated to citizens through the media in advance. There is also a preliminary appointment with Dunaev. It is carried out daily.
