Law enforcement agencies of the Orenburg region suspect the parliamentarian of purchasing a military rank and academic degree, as well as financial fraud.
A scandal is breaking out in the Orenburg region with the nomination of State Duma deputy from the LDPR Sergei Katasonov as a candidate for the post of head of the region. According to Izvestia, law enforcement agencies in the region where the liberal democrat will run have a number of claims against Katasonov, which could cost him not only the deprivation of immunity, but also his mandate as a State Duma deputy. Experts note that such blemishes in the biography of Sergei Katasonov will negatively affect his election campaign and reduce his electoral support.
According to Izvestia, the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee for the Orenburg Region, together with the regional FSB Directorate of Russia, is currently investigating a criminal case of theft by the management of Construction Enterprise SVS LLC of budget funds allocated as subsidies within the framework of the regional target program “Development of the production base of housing construction on the territory of the Orenburg region in 2007-2011.” The case was initiated on September 26, 2011 under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Fraud committed by an organized group or on an especially large scale or resulting in the deprivation of a citizen’s right to residential premises.”
The materials were handed over to the investigators by the regional prosecutor's office, which raised the issue of criminal prosecution of the founder of SVS Construction Enterprise LLC, Sergei Katasonov.
According to the case materials, Sergei Katasonov, as part of the above-mentioned program, took out a loan from VTB Bank in the amount of 100 million rubles for the construction of a plant, then funds were allocated from the regional treasury to refinance the loan interest rate. The plant was supposed to be built before 2009, but the project was never implemented. As stated in the materials of the prosecutor's office audit, being the founder of SP SVS LLC and SVS-M LLC, Katasonov could have stolen budget funds totaling 9.3 million rubles (which is a particularly large amount), which he most likely spent on needs not related to the implementation of the objectives of the Program to intensify investment activity in the construction complex of the region. That is, he disposed of the stolen goods at his own discretion, since at the end of the program the plant had not been built and put into operation.
In January 2013, investigators planned to charge Sergei Katasonov, but this did not happen, since by that time he had become a State Duma deputy and received protection in the form of parliamentary immunity. As a source from Katasonov’s entourage told Izvestia, he was helped to gain immunity by the patronage of Igor Udovichenko, who since May 2011 worked as deputy head of the Department for Internal Policy of the Presidential Administration, as well as former State Duma deputy, Minister of the Moscow Region Government for Shared Housing Construction Alexander Kogan, who represented the Orenburg region in the lower house of parliament.
At the same time, the publication’s interlocutor notes that when Katasonov was on the LDPR list for the State Duma, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, did not know about the attention of law enforcement agencies to Katasonov’s activities; only Vice Speaker Igor Lebedev was aware of the biography of the future deputy.
Lebedev himself told Izvestia that the cases were opened even before Katasonov became a deputy, but were then suspended. Their activation during the election campaign suggests that Sergei Katasonov is feared in the region as a serious candidate for the post of head of the Orenburg region.
— Sergei Mikhailovich has always been in opposition to the current government in the region, and he has repeatedly refused to change his tough tone and position. And we think that it is the regional authorities who are putting pressure on law enforcement agencies, since Katasonov is the only candidate from the parliamentary opposition in these elections,” says Lebedev.
In addition to financial fraud, the case materials of the Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee for the Orenburg Region contain facts of the illegal acquisition of academic and military ranks by a candidate for the post of head of the region. When admitted to the legislative assembly of the Orenburg region in 2006, Sergei Katasonov provided a questionnaire and documents indicating that he had the military rank of “reserve lieutenant colonel.” According to a copy of the military ID, by order of the commander of the Volga-Ural Military District No. 15 dated September 27, 2005, Katasonov was awarded the military rank of “lieutenant colonel.” However, the branch of the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense (Ekaterinburg) does not have Order No. 15 of the commander of the Regional Military District in storage, and there is no information about the location of the archive. Regarding this fact, a letter was sent to the commander of the Central Military District to verify a number of factual circumstances of the issuance of a military ID to Sergei Katasonov. As a result of the audit, information was confirmed that Sergei Katasonov did not have the rank of “colonel”.
There are also suspicions regarding Katasonov’s receipt of an academic degree. From 2006 to 2013, he received an allowance at the Orenburg State Agrarian University for having a Doctor of Science degree. During the inspection by law enforcement agencies, it turned out that the academic degree was awarded to Katasonov by the organization “Higher Attestation and Qualification Committee”. But the Ministry of Education and Science claims that the Doctor of Science diploma issued by this committee is not a document awarding the academic degree of Doctor of Science, which is provided for by the state system of certification of scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers.
The LDPR candidate for the post of head of the Orenburg region, Sergei Katasonov, is confident that there are no complaints against him from the security forces.
“This is a campaign to discredit me.” Now they will invent that I am gay and drink the blood of babies. These are the election rules. They fear me as a competitor in the elections,” he told Izvestia.
The State Duma Rules Committee reported that law enforcement agencies have not yet received any papers regarding Katasonov from the lower house of parliament.
“Perhaps this is due to the fact that it is very difficult for regional investigative bodies to achieve the deprivation of a deputy’s immunity, since the submission must be sent by federal law enforcement agencies. And this is a big bureaucratic machine. But if something like this has an evidence base, then it’s really worth thinking about whether such a person should be a people’s representative,” the committee emphasized.
At the end of May, Sergei Katasonov himself declared himself a single candidate from the opposition in the elections for governor of the Orenburg region, although he did not receive official support from other parties. Political scientists note that Katasonov’s biography could negatively affect his campaign and the reputation of the opposition.
— Formally, he has no obstacles to nomination. No criminal record. But this will be a serious limitation for Sergei Katasonov’s campaign. Even without that, it is going much more modestly than planned. A broad coalition is in question. The LDPR can afford reputational risks, but the same “Socialist Revolutionaries” who were going to support it will find themselves in an uncomfortable position... - notes Mikhail Vinogradov, president of the St. Petersburg Politics Foundation.
The head of the Center for Strategic Communications, political scientist Dmitry Abzalov, believes that participation in the elections will allow Sergei Katasonov to avoid criminal prosecution - this is a standard practice of politicizing economic affairs. It is possible that he will begin to “demonize” the beginning of the process in his attitude.
— Together with parliamentary immunity, the status of a registered candidate gives a greater chance of refusing to initiate a criminal case. Any attempt at a criminal case can be called political persecution, an attempt to remove him, the political scientist believes. — Politicization of economic affairs is a standard practice, and even if there is no chance of winning elections, it makes sense to participate in them. In addition, parliamentary immunity can be easily lost, and Mitrofanov’s example showed this.
Participation in elections, according to the political scientist, among other things, allows you to strengthen your own status, your position in the region for the future, develop a history in the region, so that in the next gubernatorial elections, for example, in the State Duma in single-mandate constituencies, residents know the candidate, even if he did not win in previous elections, they did not consider him a “Varangian”.
At the same time, Abzalov believes that Katasonov’s support for the LDPR could hit the party itself; the negativity that will be poured out on him during the election campaign will be projected onto it.
— From the point of view of the party’s image, we need to be more careful in choosing candidates. This trace will remain for a long time, competitors will definitely take advantage of it, and the “Crime is rushing to power” campaign will begin,” the political scientist argues.

Early elections for governor of the Orenburg region (2014)
In 2014, he was nominated as a candidate from the united opposition (LDPR, Communist Party of the Russian Federation, SR parties) in the early elections for governor of the Orenburg region.
The very fact of uniting around one candidate, a single goal, having overcome their petty disagreements, is a plus for the opposition. They played like serious politicians - political scientist, Doctor of Philosophy Marina Solodkaya (07/08/2014).
As a result, a large-scale discrediting campaign was launched against the candidate, based on fictitious arguments. Subsequently, the candidacy of S. M. Katasonov was withdrawn from the elections by decision of the Supreme Council of the LDPR party. The expert community assessed the fact that the candidate was removed as a mistake by the authorities.In the regions, the filtering of representatives of opposition parties continues. A number of candidates who would theoretically have a chance of winning will not be able to take part in the elections, for example, Oksana Dmitrieva in St. Petersburg, Rail Sarbaev in Bashkiria, Sergei Katasonov in the Orenburg region. The tactics used to deal with them are varied: from blocking them at the stage of collecting signatures to initiating criminal cases. Elections of governors thus become referendums on confidence, wrote Nezavisimaya Gazeta political observer Alexei Gorbachev in July.
In March 2015, the regional prosecutor's office, in response to a request from the chairman of the LDPR, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, reported that according to law enforcement agencies, State Duma deputy S.M.

“I don’t know how to answer your question,” he said, blushing, without knowing why. “I absolutely don’t know what kind of girl this is; I can't analyze it at all. She's charming. Why, I don’t know: that’s all that can be said about her. “Princess Marya sighed and the expression on her face said: “Yes, I expected and was afraid of this.”
– Is she smart? - asked Princess Marya. Pierre thought about it.
“I think not,” he said, “but yes.” She doesn't deserve to be smart... No, she's charming, and nothing more. – Princess Marya again shook her head disapprovingly.
- Oh, I so want to love her! You will tell her this if you see her before me.
“I heard that they will be there one of these days,” said Pierre.
Princess Marya told Pierre her plan about how, as soon as the Rostovs arrived, she would become close to her future daughter-in-law and try to accustom the old prince to her.
Boris did not succeed in marrying a rich bride in St. Petersburg and he came to Moscow for the same purpose. In Moscow, Boris was indecisive between the two richest brides - Julie and Princess Marya. Although Princess Marya, despite her ugliness, seemed more attractive to him than Julie, for some reason he felt awkward courting Bolkonskaya. On her last meeting with her, on the old prince’s name day, to all his attempts to talk to her about feelings, she answered him inappropriately and obviously did not listen to him.
Julie, on the contrary, although in a special way peculiar to her, willingly accepted his courtship.
Julie was 27 years old. After the death of her brothers, she became very rich. She was now completely ugly; but I thought that she was not only just as good, but even much more attractive than she was before. She was supported in this delusion by the fact that, firstly, she became a very rich bride, and secondly, that the older she became, the safer she was for men, the freer it was for men to treat her and, without taking on any obligations, take advantage of her dinners, evenings and the lively company that gathered at her place. A man who ten years ago would have been afraid to go every day to the house where there was a 17-year-old young lady, so as not to compromise her and tie himself down, now went to her boldly every day and treated her not as a young bride, but as a acquaintance who has no gender.
The Karagins' house was the most pleasant and hospitable house in Moscow that winter. In addition to parties and dinners, every day a large company gathered at the Karagins, especially men, who dined at 12 o'clock in the morning and stayed until 3 o'clock. There was no ball, party, or theater that Julie missed. Her toilets were always the most fashionable. But, despite this, Julie seemed disappointed in everything, telling everyone that she did not believe in friendship, nor in love, nor in any joys of life, and expected peace only there. She adopted the tone of a girl who had suffered great disappointment, a girl as if she had lost a loved one or had been cruelly deceived by him. Although nothing of the sort happened to her, they looked at her as if she were one, and she herself even believed that she had suffered a lot in life. This melancholy, which did not prevent her from having fun, did not prevent the young people who visited her from having a pleasant time. Each guest, coming to them, paid his debt to the melancholy mood of the hostess and then engaged in small talk, dancing, mental games, and Burime tournaments, which were in fashion with the Karagins. Only some young people, including Boris, delved deeper into Julie’s melancholic mood, and with these young people she had longer and more private conversations about the vanity of everything worldly, and to them she opened her albums covered with sad images, sayings and poems.
Julie was especially kind to Boris: she regretted his early disappointment in life, offered him those consolations of friendship that she could offer, having suffered so much in life, and opened her album to him. Boris drew two trees in her album and wrote: Arbres rustiques, vos sombres rameaux secouent sur moi les tenebres et la melancolie. [Rural trees, your dark branches shake off darkness and melancholy on me.]
Elsewhere he drew a picture of a tomb and wrote:
"La mort est secourable et la mort est tranquille
“Ah! contre les douleurs il n"y a pas d"autre asile".
[Death is salutary and death is calm;
ABOUT! against suffering there is no other refuge.]
Julie said it was lovely.
“II y a quelque chose de si ravissant dans le sourire de la melancolie, [There is something infinitely charming in the smile of melancholy," she said to Boris word for word, copying this passage from the book.
– C"est un rayon de lumiere dans l"ombre, une nuance entre la douleur et le desespoir, qui montre la consolation possible. [This is a ray of light in the shadows, a shade between sadness and despair, which indicates the possibility of consolation.] - To this Boris wrote her poetry:
"Aliment de poison d"une ame trop sensible,
"Toi, sans qui le bonheur me serait impossible,
"Tendre melancolie, ah, viens me consoler,
“Viens calmer les tourments de ma sombre retraite
"Et mele une douceur secrete
"A ces pleurs, que je sens couler."
[Poisonous food for an overly sensitive soul,
You, without whom happiness would be impossible for me,
Tender melancholy, oh, come and comfort me,
Come, soothe the torment of my dark solitude
And add secret sweetness
To these tears that I feel flowing.]
Julie played Boris the saddest nocturnes on the harp. Boris read Poor Liza aloud to her and more than once interrupted his reading from the excitement that took his breath away. Meeting in a large society, Julie and Boris looked at each other as the only indifferent people in the world who understood each other.
Anna Mikhailovna, who often went to the Karagins, making up her mother’s party, meanwhile made correct inquiries about what was given for Julie (both Penza estates and Nizhny Novgorod forests were given). Anna Mikhailovna, with devotion to the will of Providence and tenderness, looked at the refined sadness that connected her son with the rich Julie.
“Toujours charmante et melancolique, cette chere Julieie,” she said to her daughter. - Boris says that he rests his soul in your house. “He has suffered so many disappointments and is so sensitive,” she told her mother.
“Oh, my friend, how attached I have become to Julie lately,” she said to her son, “I can’t describe to you!” And who can not love her? This is such an unearthly creature! Ah, Boris, Boris! “She fell silent for a minute. “And how I feel sorry for her maman,” she continued, “today she showed me reports and letters from Penza (they have a huge estate) and she is poor, all alone: she is so deceived!
Boris smiled slightly as he listened to his mother. He meekly laughed at her simple-minded cunning, but listened and sometimes asked her carefully about the Penza and Nizhny Novgorod estates.
Julie had long been expecting a proposal from her melancholic admirer and was ready to accept it; but some secret feeling of disgust for her, for her passionate desire to get married, for her unnaturalness, and a feeling of horror at renouncing the possibility of true love still stopped Boris. His vacation was already over. He spent whole days and every single day with the Karagins, and every day, reasoning with himself, Boris told himself that he would propose tomorrow. But in the presence of Julie, looking at her red face and chin, almost always covered with powder, at her moist eyes and at the expression of her face, which always expressed a readiness to immediately move from melancholy to the unnatural delight of marital happiness, Boris could not utter a decisive word: despite the fact that for a long time in his imagination he considered himself the owner of Penza and Nizhny Novgorod estates and distributed the use of income from them. Julie saw Boris's indecisiveness and sometimes the thought occurred to her that she was disgusting to him; but immediately the woman’s self-delusion came to her as a consolation, and she told herself that he was shy only out of love. Her melancholy, however, began to turn into irritability, and not long before Boris left, she undertook a decisive plan. At the same time that Boris’s vacation was ending, Anatol Kuragin appeared in Moscow and, of course, in the Karagins’ living room, and Julie, unexpectedly leaving her melancholy, became very cheerful and attentive to Kuragin.
“Mon cher,” Anna Mikhailovna said to her son, “je sais de bonne source que le Prince Basile envoie son fils a Moscou pour lui faire epouser Julieie.” [My dear, I know from reliable sources that Prince Vasily sends his son to Moscow in order to marry him to Julie.] I love Julie so much that I would feel sorry for her. What do you think, my friend? - said Anna Mikhailovna.
The thought of being a fool and wasting this whole month of difficult melancholy service under Julie and seeing all the income from the Penza estates already allocated and properly used in his imagination in the hands of another - especially in the hands of the stupid Anatole, offended Boris. He went to the Karagins with the firm intention of proposing. Julie greeted him with a cheerful and carefree look, casually talked about how much fun she had at yesterday's ball, and asked when he was leaving. Despite the fact that Boris came with the intention of talking about his love and therefore intended to be gentle, he irritably began to talk about women's inconstancy: how women can easily move from sadness to joy and that their mood depends only on who looks after them. Julie was offended and said that it was true that a woman needs variety, that everyone will get tired of the same thing.
