The elite team is in danger of being left without professionals.
The elite international rescue team “Centrospas” was amazed by the wave of redundancies. According to REN-TV, personnel failures began in September last year with the arrival of the new boss, Yevgeny Lineichev. The Ministry of Culture asked experts familiar with the situation about the causes of the conflict.

In 1992, a rescue team of “universal soldiers” appeared at the Ministry of Emergency Situations. It was created from professionals at the highest level. Thanks to his specialists, tens of thousands of lives were saved, both in Russia and abroad.
Experienced employees are now being broadcast on the street, as the “MK” said. At best, of their own free will, and someone completely officially. By September 2021, it is planned to reorganize the department itself from a state-owned enterprise to a budget one.
A letter from Andrei Gurevich, Deputy Head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, to Yevgeny Zinichev, head of the department, dated 20 May 2021, to which Izvestia refers, states that a number of paid services will be provided to enable the company to earn 74 million rubles a year. This change will significantly expand the activities of the company “Centrospas” and improve the material-technical and training base of the department, wrote the deputy head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
According to the document, rescuers will also be able to provide commercial services. For example, to participate in medical and sanitary evacuation, medical escort of patients, research of potentially dangerous underwater facilities, maintenance of dangerous industrial facilities, engage in further training, accompany tourists and ensure the safety of cultural events for a fee. Commercialization has also forced many professionals to leave the team. For most truly dedicated specialists, saving money for money is against the idea of a professional and simply human duty.
Yesterday, July 12, after this information appeared in the media, Centrospas arrived on a commission from the headquarters of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Up to two deputy ministers – Andrei Gurevich and Viktor Yatsutsenko.
As the “MK” sources said, subject to anonymity, important guests did not warn anyone in advance about their visit. In this context, except for a shift in the service, no one in the unit met. I had to wait for at least part of the staff to gather. The outcome of the meeting was not reassuring for most employees. The management from Glavka made it clear from the first minutes that it did not question the personnel decision of the new leader “at the top”.
“We are keeping up with the times, changes cannot be avoided, they are needed,” explained senior officials of the forthcoming reorganization.
The members of the commission also called for “not to wash dirty laundry in public” and to send all requests and wishes directly to the Main Department.
“And we will consider and decide”, – quotes a source expressed at the meeting.
