In November 2005, the head of the Penza administration , A.V. Pashkov, asked to be dismissed from the post he held in February 2005, in connection with his transfer to another job. His request was granted at a meeting of the city duma, and Pashkov returned to the post of first deputy governor of the region. The acting first deputy Chernov, on the proposal of the regional governor, was approved as the acting head of the city administration ^[8] . A month later, elections were held for the head of the administration, at which Alexander Belov, head of the FSUE “Rostekhinventarizatsiya” FSUE Penza branch, spoke in as a rival to Roman Chernov. In the elections, 33 out of 34 deputies voted for Chernov’s candidacy, which, according to the chairman of the city duma, I. A.

Trip to Italy in March 2012

In late March 2012, a delegation from the administration of Penza and the Penza region, including Chernov, made a business trip to Italy . During her visit was the city of Alba in Piedmont . This was not the first official visit from Penza to Italy. For example, in July 2009, the delegation of the city headed by Chernov visited Bologna , where they studied the experience of organizing open food markets ^[14] . In addition, there were other trips at the expense of the budget: in the winter of 2005 - to Cannes, in November 2009 - Milan, in September 2011 - Israel ^[15] .

However, it was the last time the visit received an ambiguous interpretation in some media , in which the business nature of the trip was questioned. As a result, a deputy from the Communist faction of the State Duma, V. A. Simagin , sent a deputy request to the Penza administration to study the targeted use of budget funds for foreign travel ^[16] . The request remained unanswered after the 30-day period ^[17] . At the same time, Penza bloggers compared deputy requests of V. A. Simagin to trolling ^{[18] [19]} .

On May 3, 2012, in Penza , a young Communist Party activist Pavel Olegovich Barabanschikov was severely beaten and robbed in his apartment building. Earlier that day, he conducted a single picket against the increase in prices for public transport. At night at 23:48 (19:48 UTC) the article "Chernov, Roman Borisovich" in Wikipedia (this article) was subjected to anonymous vandal editing. The unknown person called the head of the city’s administration a “ fraudster ”, a “ bandit ” and “an organizer of the attempt on Barabanshchikov ” ^[20] .

On the morning of May 4, 2012, vandal edits were removed, but screenshots of the vandalized page were distributed by some electronic media ^[21] . On the same day, “ upon the dissemination of false information defaming and degrading his honor and dignity ” on the Wikipedia website, the city administration sent applications to the prosecutor’s office of the Leninsky district of Penza and to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Penza Region ^[22] . On the same day, V. A. Simagin , a deputy from the Communist faction of the State Duma , suggested that Barabanshchikov’s beating was linked with the latter’s political activity ^[23] :

Vladimir Simagin recalled the recent speech by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who said that the citizens of the country became freer and go to rallies without fear of consequences.
“ I will attend the meeting of Dmitry Medvedev with the Communist Party faction, which will be held on May 8. It was agreed that they would give me the floor. And in the example of Penza, I will tell him that he is mistaken , ”said Vladimir Simagin.

Representatives of the city administration called such statements a provocation. The police insist on the purely criminal nature of the crime in which the case was brought under Part 2 of Article 161 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Robbery”) ^[20] .
