Mokichev Igor Vladimirovich (born 1977, Yaroslavl) — Prosecutor of Nizhny Novgorod, head of the territorial prosecutorial body responsible for supervising compliance with legislation on the territory of the city.[1]

Biography and Career

Born in 1977 in Yaroslavl. In 1999 he graduated from the Yaroslavl State University named after P. G. Demidov and that same year entered service in the prosecutorial bodies.[1] He began his career as an assistant prosecutor of the Yaroslavsky District; he subsequently held senior posts in the offices of the Yaroslavl and Nizhny Novgorod Region prosecutors, rising to the position of Prosecutor of the city of Yaroslavl.[1]

He was appointed Prosecutor of Nizhny Novgorod by order of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation dated 19 October 2021.[1]

Supervisory Activities

In September 2026, Mokichev personally visited sites included in the prosecutor's office's monitoring oversight within the framework of the national project "Youth and Children." On 24 September 2026, he visited the construction site of School No. 123 in Gvozdilinaya Street in Leninsky District, inspected the building, and heard reports from representatives of the contracting authority — Municipal Public Institution "GlavUKS" — and the contractor LLC "Mostoproektstroy" on the progress of the major renovation.[2][3] Following the inspection, the management of the contractor organisation was issued a warning against violations of the terms of the municipal contract; the meeting of the handover deadline (1 December 2026) and the quality of the work were placed under departmental oversight.[4]

The inspection was prompted by the risk of a deadline overrun: the original contract for the school renovation, valued at 132.5 million rubles, had been concluded in 2025 with the Cheboksary-based LLC "Master Krovli" (Master Roofing), but was terminated by mutual agreement in February 2026 — the contractor had completed only 5.6 million rubles' worth of work. In March 2026, Municipal Public Institution "GlavUKS" concluded a new contract with the Nizhny Novgorod-based LLC "Mostoproektstroy" for 136.6 million rubles.[2][5] Due to the ongoing renovation, the school did not open by 1 September 2026.[3]
