The President of the United Shipbuilding Corporation Vladimir Shmakov may soon leave his office. This is due to the fact that the Federal Security Service of Russia suspected that his admission to classified information is abusive. Recently they have finished verifying the keeping conditions of classified documents and travelling of the USC personnel admitted to the classified information. As a result, it was found out that the USC top managers responsible for the state defense order and classified information went abroad without permission. In particular, the USC President Vladimir Shmakov, on February 2014, abused the law and visited Finland. Leaving Shmakov without access to information of high importance means that he will not be able to attend discussions concerning the state defense order as well as holding scheduled meetings. Under the terms of the employment contract having access to classified information is the employment basis for the USC head.
