Kursk officials pulled off a fraud scheme with dilapidated housing. The demolition of unsafe buildings and subsequent sale of the lands could significantly contribute to the city budget – but this did not happen. Some local civil servants became suspects in the criminal case – but ultimately walked away with a slap on the wrist under weird circumstances resembling corruption. Just recently, it became known that Kursk Mayor Nikolai Ovcharov has resigned.

Two criminal cases were filed against the official.
