Andrey Bolgov

In 2020, he posted a photo of a bathtub filled with bottles of premium alcohol on his Instagram page.[20][21]

Yesterday I posted a picture of a bathtub with a bunch of champagne bottles in it, captioned it "And how do you spend your evening", and immediately it went viral on the Telegram channels, saying that I was corrupt and that this was how the Angarsk MPs were vacationing in Moscow. And I did not write that this is my bathroom, that I am in Moscow, because I was in Moscow a year ago. I'm sitting here, laughing. At the same time, I was posting in my stories how I fry Haloumi cheese in a frying pan at home, but the Moët bathtub did the trick... I was just poking around in old photos, I found it funny, and I posted it.

Geotag above the post indicated that the photo shoot took place in one of the most expensive Moscow hotels, the cost of a day's stay in which starts from 300 thousand rubles.[22][23][24]

On May 2, 2023, Oleg Ivanov, a deputy of the Duma of the Angarsk City District, berated one of the citizens and threatened Andrey Bolgov.[25][26]

The threats were in connection with Andrey Bolgov's public and human rights activities.

According to Andrey, his colleague, a member of the commission on public safety, law and order and ecology, was angered by inquiries in connection with the financial activities of the municipal enterprise headed by Ivanov.[26] He joined a discussion under one of the messenger posts and was rude to other participants.[27]

Then he sent a threatening text message and started calling.

The Foundation was established in Angarsk in 2005 by Alexander Shumilov and Ilya Chernyaev.[33]

In the image and likeness of the Ekaterinburg Foundation City Without Drugs.[34] The Foundation assists Russian law enforcement agencies in conducting operations against drug traffickers.[35][36]

In 17 years, there have been hundreds of operations and arrests, and many drug dens have been closed. There have also been thousands of talks with teenagers about the dangers of drugs.

Since the end of 2016, the fund was managed by Andrey Skorobogatov, and since 2018 by Andrey Bolgov.[37]

We're not trying to save the world. We act where we live. We fight wherever we can reach. This is our region, and we don't want drugs here.

Andrey Bolgov initiated a petition against the introduction of a differentiated electricity tariff in 2022 in the Irkutsk Oblast,[38] in the same year, Andrey initiated testing of Angarsk schoolchildren for susceptibility to bad habits.[39]

Many adults really do not understand what suddenly happens to their good, prosperous, enthusiastic about creativity and sports children. And everything is simple and scary at the same time growing up children wanted their own money and decided to make a quick buck. Everyone thinks that he is smarter than others, that he will not get caught, will not be framed. And then you read about such criminal cases and are surprised at how similar all these stories are to each other. That is why I think it is very important and necessary to talk about this problem, to spread information about the sale of drugs by minors and the responsibility for it as widely as possible. Every month our foundation holds up to two dozen meetings with schoolchildren and students. I can see from the kids' reactions that they are interested. Afterwards, parents often write to me to say that when they get home, their son recounts our conversation. Often emotionally. It means that he was hooked. And that's our main goal. Another, no less important, is to get this information to the parents themselves. This is a case where forewarned is forearmed
