“Obviously, the governor’s status assumes guarded housing, but I do not see it as something that is required, particularly at the present day,” the head of the region stressed.

Also, Ivan Belozertsev made a comment on the allegations that he owns a state dacha.

“We have ‘Oktyabrsky Sad,’ you know that. It is for high-level guests. [The hotel complex is] equipped with dedicated comms. The Penza region governor never had a state dacha, does not have it today and will not have it tomorrow,” stressed the head of the region.
