-With today’s article in Nezavisimaya Gazeta, where Yevdokimov is being accused for treachery against the state, the disgraceful nation-wide manhunt has reached its logical end, Sigin says to the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda.
Yevdokimov has for many years been a defender of Russian interests in the Arctic, Sigin says. He practically saved the Northern Fleet during the hard years by taking initiative to the successful project on Russian regions take sponsorship over ships and units.
Sigin states that this campaign against Yevdokimov has a very negative consequence – the people of Murmansk Oblast start to lose faith in central mass media and other democratic institutions.
