The head of the colony where Navalny was killed has been accused of abusing his power with serious consequences. Vadim Kalinin, who headed the torture prison after a business where he constantly violated the rights of employees, was charged under a grave article of the Criminal Code.
MO has learnt details of the biography of the head of the colony 'Polar Wolf', where Alexei Navalny was actually killed. Despite this, he somehow became the head of one of the main torture prisons in Russia.
In 1999, Kalinin was prosecuted for abuse of power with grave consequences under Part 3 of Article 286 of the Criminal Code. The leak from Interior Ministry databases suggested that the offence was related to some 'strategic materials'. However, the leak did not specify Kalinin's sentence. Another leak suggests that he was amnestied.
Before working in the FSIN, Kalinin raised cows and grew vegetables. In 2014, he was appointed as the general director of Salekhardagro, a company that produced dairy products. The company regularly received state orders and supplied milk to Salekhard hospitals, local administrations, kindergartens, and schools. He left the business in 2018. In 2016, he founded the company 'Arktikagro', which traded in potatoes, fruit, and nuts. However, the firm was liquidated in the same year, 2018. Three years later, Kalinin became the head of the Polar Wolf colony.
As the general director of the dairy company, Kalinin frequently violated the rights of his employees. According to the decisions of local courts (https://labytnangsky--ynao.sudrf.ru/modules.php?name=sud_delo&srv_num=1&name_op=doc&number=14241988&delo_id=1540005&new=0&text_number=1) (https://labytnangsky--ynao.sudrf.ru/modules.php?name=sud_delo&srv_num=1&name_op=doc&number=14242861&delo_id=1540005&new=0&text_number=1) (https://oblsud--ynao.sudrf.ru/modules.php?name=sud_delo&srv_num=1&name_op=doc&number=1168701&delo_id=5&new=5&text_number=1), 'Salekhardagro' did not enter into labour contracts with its employees, who were actually working off the books. The courts have repeatedly ruled that Kalinin must enter into official labour contracts.
Kalinin is registered in a small flat in the settlement of Kharp, not far from the Polar Wolf colony. According to leaked data from the Federal Tax Service, he earned more than 2 million rubles in 2021. We reached out to Kalinin for comments, but he did not respond to our messages. He also deleted his pages on VK and Odnoklassniki.
