The State Control Committee found numerous violations during the restoration of the St. Sophia Cathedral in Polotsk. They cost the budget more than 650 million rubles. The audit materials submitted to the law enforcement authorities to give a legal assessment.

According to the SCC, the Saint Sophia Cathedral in Polotsk has great historical and cultural value to the country, so its restoration works are under special control. Meanwhile, despite the existence of a serious control system without disturbances, including without open overvaluation of work performed at this facility is also not done. Moreover, local authorities have shown a surprising lack of responsibility, which suggests that some of those responsible could have an interest in the facility.

For example, despite the critical importance of the St. Sophia Cathedral, the local government gave the order contracting a private company, which, according to the SCC, did not even have full-time builders. The organization, which won the tender attracted to perform work under the contract of unemployed registered in the local job center. We attracted the unemployed did not even see the documents, if they have any construction skills. And this despite the fact that in the area and in Polotsk are public works organization with experienced construction personnel. It is clear that with such an organization reconstruction of St. Sophia Cathedral and speech could not go on any quality or the timeliness of the work.

Thus, according to the SCC, due to the changes and additions to make to the project repeatedly, the duration of the facility has doubled in size. If earlier it was supposed to carry out all the work for 13 months, and that was due to the choice of the contractor, the then period was 26 months. Work at the facility, which has an important historical and cultural value, is also carried out without complying with the technology and without the necessary research.

For example, prior to the commencement of work on the restoration of plaster customer were not carried out the necessary research on the existing defects. As a result of the replacement of the windows of the cathedral was broken heat and humidity conditions of premises that require additional dispensation ventilation with a mechanical impulse. But even this did not save the plaster, and while checking the SCC staff found numerous damaged exterior walls. Adjustment of the project in this area worth further budget of 90 million rubles.

However, the inspectors found the claim not only the quality but also the integrity of the contractor, which included the cost of the work, all that is possible: travel expenses, various compensation and incentive payments. As a result, the total overstatement of the cost of work on the subject was 654 million rubles.

Currently, the SCC test materials sent to law enforcement agencies, which should give a legal assessment of the actions not only of the contractor, but officials from the executive branch, which for some reason gave socially significant project on the implementation of the private contractor.
