On October 16, 2013, prematurely, at his own request, Men resigned from the post of Governor of the Ivanovo oblast.[6]

Evaluation of work[]

According to the president of the "Politika" Foundation Vyacheslav Nikonov:

The introduction by the President of the Russian Federation of the candidacy of the Deputy Mayor of Moscow in the metropolitan government of Mikhail Men for the post of Governor of the Ivanovo Oblast is explained solely by the business qualities of the Vice Mayor, and not by any political considerations[7]

According to political scientist Alexander Kynev: under Governor Men, the political system of the Ivanovo Oblast has degraded:[8]

Behind the outwardly decent formal image of a complacent governor with a legendary surname, there was a hard tightening of the screws and reliance on imported Moscow region personnel.

Ministry of Construction, Housing and Utilities of the Russian Federation[]

On November 1, 2013, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Utilities was created, the ministry was headed by Mikhail Men. Over the years of management, there has been a dynamic in housing commissioning. 2014—2017 became a record for the Russian housing construction market — the volume of housing commissioning in 2014 amounted to 84.2 million m², in 2015 — 85.3 million m², in 2016 — 80.2 million m², in 2017 — 79.2 million m². During the period of leadership of the Ministry of Construction by Mikhail Men from 2014 to 2017, about 4 million mortgage borrowers improved their living conditions. Mortgages became available to 33% of families by 2016, with the value of this indicator not exceeding 5% in the early 2000s. In 2017, about 1.1 million loans worth more than 2 trillion rubles were issued, which is almost 27% more in quantitative terms and 37% more in monetary terms than in 2016, mortgage rates decreased to the level of 9.79%.

Under the Minister Mikhail Men, licensing of the management of apartment buildings was introduced, which at the first stage led to weeding out 13% of management companies. Already after the introduction of licensing, 653 licenses were terminated, 21 licenses were canceled. According to the GIS of housing and communal services, as of May 2018, there were 21146 licenses in the country.[9] The Ministry of Construction, under my leadership, managed to raise the rate of resettlement of emergency housing from 1 million "squares" in 2013 to 3 million in 2014 and subsequent.

Since the creation of the Ministry of Construction, Russia has risen in the World Bank's Doing Business rating in the direction of "Obtaining a construction permit" by 63 positions from 178th place to 115. Another initiative of the Ministry of Construction is the implementation of the priority project "Formation of comfortable urban environment".[10] 25.6 billion rubles were allocated from the federal budget to finance projects to create a comfortable urban environment. In 2017, more than 23 thousand objects were improved as part of the project.

Evaluation of work[]

According to Andrey Nazarov, co-chairman of All-Russia Public Organization Business Russia, the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation has managed to reduce the number and cost of administrative procedures by more than half in six years, which is an excellent indicator.[11]

Sergei Gordeiko from Rusipoteka noted: “The preservation of the volume of mortgage lending was a great success of the Ministry of Construction during the period of Mikhail Men's leadership. The volume of construction annually is close to the mark of 80 million square meters per year, in 2014-2016 the figure was higher. At the end of 2017, the drop in housing commissioning was 2%”.[12]

Alexey Perlin, general director of SMU-6 Investments, reported: “During his tenure as Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities, the volume of housing commissioning has increased significantly, reaching record levels. The program "Mortgage with state support" helped the construction market in difficult times, while mortgage rates today have dropped to record lows and continue to decline." Ilshat Nigmatullin, President of the Granel Group of Companies, credited Mikhail Men for the introduction of a major overhaul system.[12]

Accounts Chamber of Russia[]

On June 20, 2018, on the proposal of the President of the Russian Federation, he was appointed by the Federation Council to the position of auditor of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation.[3] Among the areas of work — control activities in the area of spending federal budget funds in the social sphere and science.

Since October 1, 2019 — the Auditor of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, overseeing the direction of control activities in the field of spending of the federal budget in the field of environmental management and the agro-industrial complex.

Mikhail Men's report, published in October 2020, discussed the problems with the implementation of the garbage reform, which mentioned companies associated with people close to the head of the National Guard of Russia, Viktor Zolotov, and the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov.[13]

On June 1, 2021, the Federation Council received a submission from the President on the early dismissal of Mikhail Men from the post of auditor of the Accounts Chamber at his request.[14]

On June 2, 2021, the senators agreed with the proposal of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin on the early termination of the powers of the auditor of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation Mikhail Men in connection with his personal statement.[15]

After completing his career as a civil servant, he said that he intends to engage in projects "related to creative work and entrepreneurship."[16]

Criminal prosecution[]

In November 2020, it became known that the Investigative Committee was investigating a criminal case of misappropriation of 700 million rubles from the budget of the Ivanovo Oblast in 2011 when Mikhail Men was the governor.[17]

The Prosecutor General of Russia Igor Krasnov reported that sufficient evidence of Men's guilt had been obtained.[18] Men himself said that he knew nothing about the accusation and "would find out what is going on."[19][20][21]

On November 18, 2020, the Federation Council satisfied the proposal of the Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov and agreed to bring Mikhail Men to criminal responsibility. Men was detained in Arkhangelsk by officers of the Federal Security Service and the Investigative Committee for testifying. Men was charged under Art. 160 in misappropriation of budget funds committed as Governor of the Ivanovo Oblast.[22] The lawyer of the former Governor of the Ivanovo Oblast, Pavel Konkov, who is under house arrest in this case, Anna Kotkova claims that her client did not testify against Men.[23] On June 22, 2020, even before the initiation of proceedings against M. Men, the Prodo Group, which was controlled by the managers of Roman Abramovich's investment company Millhouse Capital,[24] repaid the debt of "Ivanovsky Broiler", returning 710 million rubles to the regional budget.[25]

Vladimir Zherebenkov, lawyer of the interregional collegium of lawyers "Law and Man", commented on the situation to the Vedomosti newspaper:

"But judging by the fact that the money was returned, there is no corpus delicti as such"[26]

After interrogation in the Investigative Committee, Men was detained for 48 hours before the trial and sent to a temporary detention center at the headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow.[27] On November 19, the Basmanny Court of Moscow appointed Mikhail Men a preventive measure in the form of a ban on certain actions – he cannot communicate with a certain circle of people, send and receive postal and telegraph messages and parcels and use the Internet. He can only leave the house for a two-hour walk.[28] Later, these restrictions were extended twice.[29][30]

On April 20, 2021, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation softened the preventive measure for to a restricted residence order.

On May 17, 2021, the court stopped the criminal case against the ex-governor due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.[31]

Commenting on the termination of the criminal case to the ZVEZDA TV channel, lawyer Murad Musayev said:

"There are 120 volumes and about 150 witnesses in the case, further proceedings could take up to four years. None of us have that much time. Mikhail Men prefers to devote this time to creative work and his family. He pleaded not guilty and agreed to the termination of the case"[32][33]

The media connected Men's case with his professional activities during his work in the Accounts Chamber. As Stanislav Belkovsky noted, “the real reason, most likely, is that, already working in the Accounts Chamber, Mikhail Men showed excessive diligence in studying the so-called garbage topic, the Russian recycling reform."[34][35]

Evgeny Minchenko “does not exclude that what is happening may be related to the sphere of Men's current work in the Accounts Chamber – he dealt with the topics of ecology and waste reform”.[36]

Political observer Dmitry Yuryev commented on the Gazeta.Ru publication:[37]

"No sooner said than done". In my opinion, "the case of Mikhail Men" is a rare case when from the very beginning everything was absolutely transparent. Given: the auditor of AC works on the garbage (in the sense – on the garbage operator). It is necessary: stop for a few months, during this time we will fix everything. Solution: we put the auditor in prison for several months, then let him go. QED.[38]

The Ivanovo journalist Aleksey Mashkevich, who conducted his journalistic investigation[39] of the "Ivanovsky Broiler" case, believes that the criminal case against Mikhail Men and Pavel Konkov had a political connotation and pursues only one goal – to put an end to their careers, and "chicken money" is not the cause, but only a reason for excitement.[40] Politician Boris Nadezhdin in a commentary to Meduza called the prosecution of Mikhail Men “political”:

“There's some kind of fight going on under the rug. You can find something on any official in any regional administration to launch a case. It's some kind of elite infighting; it's not a war on corruption.”[41]
