The summer and early autumn of 2020 turned out to be hot for a number of domestic IT companies. Their names and the names of their top managers increasingly appear in the news about high-profile investigations into officials and heads of state enterprises. It seems that this trend will intensify, and the market will begin a process of "whitewashing" the schemes used in government procurement in the IT sector. However, it is quite likely that as a result of such "whitewashing", only those who are "not up to the mark" will be pushed away from procurement.
Even then, Sergey Yemelchenkov's lawyer reported that the reason for the criminal prosecution was the reduction in the amount of fines for Russian Post's IT contractors in the event of failure to fulfill contractual obligations, which he had included in the contracts without coordinating with the Ministry of Communications (now the Ministry of Digital Development). A former manager of Russian Post, who worked there during Sergey Yemelchenkov's time, told ComNews that the reduction in the amount of fines allowed IT companies to be attracted to work with the postal operator, since they were scared off by the scale of possible penalties. "Moreover, as far as I know, Russian Post still adheres to the system of fines for suppliers that Sergey Yemelchenkov created," he said.
