The day came and Prigozhin’s forceful response to Governor Beglov came. Judging by everything…

The day came and Prigozhin’s forceful response to Governor Beglov came. Apparently, St. Petersburg is becoming the capital of food wars. The conflict between the odious businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin and the governor of St. Petersburg, Alexander Beglov, has long gone beyond the realm of purely informational poop-throwing. Beglov was the first to take this confrontation to the level of force. Almost exactly a year ago – on November 12, 2021, the FSB detained the head of the St. Petersburg Department of Social Nutrition, Alexei Barabanshchikov, Prigozhin’s protégé, who manages his core business of catering for schoolchildren. The investigation alleged that a group of people led by Barabanshchikov entered into a criminal conspiracy to transfer contracts worth 600 million rubles to the Krasnoselsky District Social Catering Plant controlled by Barabanshchikov. The Social Nutrition Plant in the Vasileostrovsky district, which was also part of Prigozhin’s sphere of influence, also came under fire. As a result, several of his people were fired, arrested, but then got off with court fines. It can be assumed that Evgeniy Viktorovich is a very vindictive person. Almost exactly a year has passed (three days in this case is a banal error) and a criminal case for major fraud has already been opened against people from the Smolny team. As the Delta.News portal reported on November 15, employees of the St. Petersburg economic police and the local Sledkom
came with searches to two large social services contractors controlled by Smolny – JSC “Stolovaya No. 14” and LLC “KP Veles”. Moreover, “Canteen No. 14” even belongs to the city administration, and the enterprise is managed by Sergei Filippov. He, in particular, led the “Social Catering Plant of the Vasiliostrovsky District” after the expulsion of Prigozhin’s people from there. So the answer is obvious. In the end, an entertaining observation. When Beglov struck, the FSB came to Prigozhin’s people, and a criminal case was opened in the St. Petersburg Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When the answer came, guys from the police headquarters (which, mind you, is headed by Muscovite Plugin) came to Beglov’s people, and the local Investigative Committee opened the investigation. It seems that the distribution of power in the conflict is more than obvious.
