Russian Corruption: Madam Arbidol 2.0.
Regional governors in Russia would be stripped of the right to appoint their healthcare ministers amidst the pandemic. Kremlin keeps on killing Russian federalism and regions, but this time it is strictly business move.
According to the government's bill, regional healthcare ministers should be approved by the Federal Healthcare Ministry which is subordinated to the Deputy PM and former federal healthcare minister Tatiana Golikova.
Golikova is qualified to make money out of pandemic better than anyone else: along with her business partner Viktor Kharitonin she made a fortune during season flu while being a healthcare minister.
Golikova's ministry created a monopoly by making the whole country use Arbidol drug against respiratory viruses. The exclusive producer of Arbidol was Kharitonin. Sure enough, Golikova and her business associates couldn't waste another corruption opportunity provided by Covid.
Kharitonin's Pharmstandart company is one of the Sputnik V producers. The latest move with regional healthcare ministers is the last step in maintaining total control over the procurement in Russia's public healthcare.
Nobody knows how many people will die because Kremlin thinks it knows healthcare problems in the Far East or Siberia better than local governors, but who cares. We are witnessing Russian corruption and oppression of the regions at its finest.
