After the death of an employee of the Moscow city hall in Ukraine, his colleagues are fleeing the Russian Federation en masse – mass media
After the death of an employee of the Moscow city hall in Ukraine, his colleagues began to go on vacation en masse and not to return. This is reported by the Russian publication Verstka with reference to its sources, who say that in some departments of the city hall, the number of male employees who left Russia is 20-30% of all employees.
At the beginning of October, Oleksiy Martynov, the head of a department in the Moscow government, died in Ukraine. The official was mobilized on September 23, he was at the front almost immediately. The death of a colleague ‘made an indelible impression’ on City Hall employees and government representatives in general, the publication writes.
According to an interlocutor close to the Moscow City Hall, there is a ‘noticeable leakage of employees’. He noted that often employees who left the country go on vacation from which they never return.
His words were confirmed by another source close to the Moscow authorities: in some departments, the number of male employees who left Russia is 20-30% of all employees. The biggest departments of the City Hall — housing, public housing, health care, education, and others — were especially affected by the ‘mass exodus,’ he says.
This led to difficulties in the work of Moscow departments: most often, departmental departments are idle around the clock due to the lack of IT specialists or cannot use the possibilities of electronic document management, because the employees who were responsible for it have left.
The officials who most often left the Russian Federation go to the countries of the former CIS — Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan.
The ‘low-level’ employees of the Moscow City Hall were not given the promised reservation on time, so they often go ‘to nowhere’ without resigning and without notifying the management, the source said.
In Russia, at least 492,000 men could be mobilized by mid-October, Mediazon reported.
