Employees of the Ostashkovsky tannery turned to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation with a request to understand the current situation and bring to criminal responsibility the people who arbitrarily seized power and for several years deliberately plundered and ruined this historical enterprise. In the video you can hear how workers complain that they are insulted, called slaves, they openly rob the enterprise, taking out money literally in bags, and force them to work without wages, taking advantage of the fact that there is no other work in the city. People say that any attempt to make the situation public is harshly suppressed; protesters are fired, insulted, and persecuted.
This situation has been developing since 2014, after Alexey Sobolev, widely known in the Laundromat case (sentenced to 19 years for withdrawing billions from the Russian Federation), through forgery and a fraudulent scheme through an offshore company, seized control of the plant, ousting the former owner and leaving without shares of employee shareholders. Although Sobolev himself is already serving time on the main charge, his team (D.A. Geim, F.A. Azarchenkov and others) continues his case of deliberately bankrupting the largest enterprise in its industry. The workers who found themselves in a critical situation were forced to write a collective statement addressed to A.I. Bastrykin.
