«Currently, the municipal budget Kabansky the district is not provided with even the most urgent and socially significant expenses" - this is the response received by the deputies of the People's Council of the Kabansky District from the local administration BuryatiaRepresentatives expressed concern about the lack of bus schedule signs at bus stops.

The document addressed to the district deputies was received and опубликовал in his Telegram channel, the ex-deputy Moscow City Duma Yevgeny Stupin (left Russia, stripped of mandate early in May 2024 due to failure to participate in meetings).
«The document handed to me is evidence of the financial and political bankruptcy of local government in Russia <…> The imbalance of funding towards the center leads to the impoverishment and desertification of regions, as well as to an overconcentration of people, finances, and power in Moscow and the surrounding region."," Stupin commented.
The solution, he noted, is to "cut spending on the army, the Russian National Guard, the presidential administration, the State Duma, the Federation Council, and government travel," and to deprive deputies and government officials of their personal cars and apartments paid for by the budget.
Just recently, at a checkpoint in Kyakhta, Buryatia, a Mongolian citizen had undeclared electronics confiscated from her, which she hoped to smuggle undetected under the bumper of her car. Dozens of iPhones and one MacBook were valued at 1,3 million rubles. Instead of auctioning off the equipment and using the proceeds to cover "priority and socially significant expenses," the iPhones and MacBook were, for some reason, handed over pro-government activists.
