Overview

• Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev confirmed he dismissed the head of the Kinelsky District and published the firing in a video on his Max channel.
• In the footage, he repeatedly asked about an object in the grass that he described as a stone with a shattered memorial plate dedicated to World War II participants.
• The district head in the video called it a stone left after a monument’s foundation was laid, prompting Fedorishchev to deliver a crude dismissal phrase and slap his shoulder.
• Earlier the governor had linked the decision to poor attention to the condition of a cultural center, a school, and other facilities during a work trip to the area.
• The incident occurred in Samara Region’s Kinelsky District, and no further administrative steps or response from the dismissed official were reported.
