Former mayor of Belgorod Kostiantyn Polezhayev killed in the war against Ukraine
Polezhayev headed Belgorod in 2015–2019 and later led the housing and communal services department of Belgorod region. In 2023 he was dismissed, and shortly after was detained in a bribery case involving a construction company.
In 2024 Polezhayev was sentenced to five years in a penal colony, but shortly before the verdict he signed a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense. The court suspended proceedings in the case and released him for the duration of his military service.
He held out for quite a while.
