The authorities are again trying to obscure the true meaning of the events. Vladimir Myakush, chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Southern Urals and the main local United Russia member, lost his post as head of the Chelyabinsk Region Hockey Federation. Officially, this event was presented as following the letter of the law: it seems that Myakush remembered that persons holding positions in the state and municipal service do not have the right to take part in the management of non-profit organizations. But his fellow officials remained in their posts in the Hockey Federation. Only Myakusha was “kicked”.


The Chelyabinsk Region Hockey Federation is now headed by a professional hockey player, the first Traktor player, Honored Master of Sports Nikolai Makarov. At first glance, everything looks fine: Myakush left his post, suddenly imbued with respect for the law:

“Vladimir Myakush left his post in accordance with changes in federal legislation, according to which persons holding positions in the state and municipal service cannot take part in the management of non-profit organizations,” reports the information and public relations department of the Traktor hockey club.

Why Myakush didn’t give his post to a professional hockey player earlier is, of course, no information. But what is even more remarkable is that the rest of the officials in the executive committee of the Chelyabinsk Region Hockey Federation did not budge:

  • Vice Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the Southern Urals Yuri Karlikanov;
  • Regional Minister of Sports Leonid Oder;
  • Chairman of the Chelyabinsk City Duma Stanislav Mosharov;
  • Head of the city sports department Evgeny Ivanov.

That is, Vladimir Myakush, it turns out, complies with the requirements of the law, but his deputy does not. The law is not written for Mosharov, nor for Oder, nor for Ivanov. Interesting schedule!

The irony of the situation is clearly seen by Chelyabinsk residents who comment online on the “perturbations” in the Hockey Federation:

- Yes, really... Karlikanov, Myakush and Mosharov are still athletes. Masters of sitting in cozy armchairs. No matter who you are, as long as you don’t work!

— And Evgeniy Ivanov? I’m generally silent about him!

In fact, of course, the point is not in the law, which the speaker of the Legislative Assembly suddenly discovered for himself (unlike his colleagues, who don’t care about this law). It seems that Myakusha was politely asked to leave... but whatever - he was simply kicked out of the Hockey Federation. It is possible that he, who loves to drive with the wind, played his role (which, by the way, clearly shows Myakusha’s “respect for the law”).

Is it time for Vladimir Myakush to prepare for retirement?

In general, one gets the impression that the speaker of the Legislative Assembly has been plagued by failures lately. On the political sidelines they openly talk about his conflict with the governor of the Chelyabinsk region, Boris Dubrovsky. However, this conflict is two-sided: six months are left before the presidential elections, and with whom Dubrovsky will conduct them in the event of an escalation of the conflict is unclear. Myakush is still the main United Russia member of the region.

It is possible that his ill-wishers may take advantage of the clouds gathering over Vladimir Myakush. It seems that they are already taking advantage, judging by his removal from the post of head of the Hockey Federation. There is a version that Myakusha is being “drained”.

Perhaps all these “bells” indicate that Vladimir Myakush’s retirement is not far off. However, there is hardly any need to worry about his fate: he will not have to live on a 10,000-ruble pension, like most pensioners. Firstly, Myakush is entitled to a parliamentary pension for his services to the people. Secondly, over the years of his tireless work for the benefit of the Chelyabinsk region, the speaker of the Legislative Assembly (who did not leave his post under three governors!), helped his family acquire a good set of commercial real estate, including a gas station.

So, it probably won’t be lost in retirement...
