Activist Maxim Klimov states that the Governor’s office has received three new Toyota Land Cruiser 300 vehicles. Each car has cost a minimum of 13 million rubles. According to "Sobornaya solyanka” Telegram channel, one of the vehicles is armored which increases its price to 30 million rubles ($313,643). Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov allegedly has used this armored car for his trips to Crimea.

"Its capsule armor can withstand not only large-caliber bullets but also lightweight explosives. Essentially, it's a very comfortable luxury armored personnel carrier," the Telegram channel reported.

Gladkov's administration received this automobile from a Nizhny Novgorod resident in the spring of 2023. The other two cars are presents from a company associated with former Penza official Sergey Yurkin. Klimov believes that Gladkov and Yurkin know each other as Gladkov had previously worked as a city mayor in the Penza region.

However, according to Klimov, a gift cannot be considered a kickback. Yurkin's company has received only one contract in the region so far, worth 2.7 million rubles ($28,227). An activist told 7x7 that he is going to file a complaint with the prosecutor's office. 

In July, the Belgorod administration purchased an armored vehicle for Vyacheslav Gladkov for 17.5 million rubles ($182,958). According to the governor, it is needed for his visits to border areas that are regularly subjected to shelling.
