Who is Maslov interfering with? Current publications.

Work from home 30.05.2023

Will the arrest of the head of the Development Corporation Sergei Maslov lead the security forces to the offices of Governor Basargin and his associate Demchenko?

The Rostov District Court arrested the property of the head of the Development Corporation, Sergei Maslov, accused of stealing a billion rubles from the People's Bank. In less than three years, the top manager managed to acquire numerous and expensive assets. A seizure was imposed on a luxurious estate in Arkhangelskoye, where a mansion with an area of ​​2,700 square meters was located on 3 hectares of land. m, guest “house” of 640 sq. m and a “bathhouse” with an area of ​​513 sq. m. In addition, an elite Moscow apartment on Krymsky Val and a country house near Moscow with an area of ​​571 square meters were arrested. m.

The investigation, in its petition to seize Mr. Maslov’s property, demonstrated modest requests, explaining that the measure was needed as an interim measure to compensate for the damage caused.

After all, real estate is not all that the head of the Development Corporation managed to “earn.” Law enforcement officers established that Maslov also owns an elite fleet of vehicles, including a couple of rare Mercedes, and a 71-meter yacht with the romantic name “Victoria,” whose cost exceeds 50 million euros. The vessel is currently being completed at an Italian shipyard. Even taking into account the fact that Maslov, sitting in the chair of the top manager of “KR”, set his own salary at a million rubles, it is obvious that what he earned “officially” would not be enough for all the toys, even if the arrested person went on a starvation diet.

Let us remind you that on October 20 it became known about the detention of Maslov and three of his possible accomplices as part of a case initiated in September about the theft of a billion rubles from the Narodny Kredit bank.

According to investigators, in October 2014, on the eve of the revocation of People's Credit's license, Maslov, together with his deputy Vladimir Karamanov, invested more than a billion rubles in the bank from the shareholders of the Development Corporation. The bank's management successfully helped the corporation's top managers withdraw money to Cyprus. Subsequently, the stolen goods were invested in the personal projects of Maslov “and the company.”

After Maslov’s arrest, details of his life in Arkhangelskoye became known. Employees of the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs discovered in the mansion a collection of paintings, including the original by Ivan Shishkin, caches with safes where about 100 thousand dollars were stored in “cash”, an author’s copy of the sculpture “Rhinoceros” by Salvador Dali and a collection of elite watches, including inlaid ones Piaget diamonds worth more than $100 thousand.

If Maslov’s guilt is proven, it is unlikely that the top manager will want to serve the entire term. According to rumors, the security forces are ready to make small concessions if the arrested person testifies against the authors of the “feeder” called “Development Corporation”...

Who's "up for change"

Sergei Maslov is sitting in a pre-trial detention center and is probably worried about the arrested attributes of his luxurious life. But after all, other currently prominent figures in Russia, who have not yet been reached by law enforcement agencies, took part in the creation of “KR”, which can be included in textbooks as an example of a ten-year-old corporation “cut up”...

In short, a high-profile case could lead to the arrest of the current governor of the Perm Territory, Viktor Basargin, and the deputy chairman of the regional government, Oleg Demchenko, who were at the forefront of the creation of the Corporation. Although in fairness it must be said that there should be much more people involved in the case.

In 2005, Pyotr Latyshev, then the first presidential plenipotentiary representative in the Ural Federal District, presented the project for creating the “Industrial Urals - Polar Urals” to the head of the country, Vladimir Putin. The idea was approved. Even then, the country’s elites were whispering that the project was an economic basis and leverage for the institution of a plenipotentiary mission in the Urals. Well, and the “feeder”, of course...

Pyotr Latyshev was appointed plenipotentiary representative to the Urals Federal District in 2000. A year later, Latyshev found a faithful deputy, and, as it may turn out, an accomplice - Viktor Basargin. The plenipotentiary representative and his deputy, the future governor of the Perm Territory, worked hand in hand for almost 8 years.

It was Viktor Basargin who acted as the direct supervisor of the creation of the Industrial Urals - Polar Urals, later renamed the Development Corporation. In 2007, Oleg Demchenko, now happily sitting in the Perm government, was appointed the official head of the project.

The idea of ​​the project (which was later conveniently forgotten) was to unite the resource-rich Polar Urals and the Southern Urals, “rich” in factories. To unite them, first of all, transport and energy infrastructure was needed.

The project “Ural Industrial - Ural Polar” included the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, as well as the Tyumen, Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk regions as shareholders. Over the 10 years of the project’s existence, about 30 billion rubles were invested in it - for which the shareholders actually received nothing. But money seems to have become the basis of the well-being of many media figures in today's Russia.

The structure was built ideally - unfortunately, it did not meet the goals that were officially declared when UP-UP was established. A well-thought-out long-term “cutting” project. Money flowed like a river from the Ural regions under the leadership of governors who invested not their own, but state billions. The result of 10 years of existence of the “Industrial Urals – Polar Urals” was a number of “frozen” projects and grandiose theft.

Vyacheslav Tetyokin, a deputy of the State Duma of the previous convocation from the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and the Tyumen region, expressed confidence that much more than a billion rubles were embezzled from the Corporation. The ex-parliamentarian compared the project to Sochi in terms of its “cutting”: “So, this is even worse! In Sochi they built at least something... But here money poured in, but nothing was created. A billion is the smallest number we can talk about. It’s just that no one has really dug yet, the investigation has just begun. The amount there will increase significantly.”

The corporation did not even begin the construction and completion of four railways that were supposed to connect various regions of the Urals. But she regularly appeared in various scandals. In particular, among the projects that were at least started under the auspices of the “KR”, only the bridge across Nadym was built at a cost of 14 billion rubles. The railway was never laid along it, but the construction contractor, Mostostroy-12, Alexander Zabarsky, has already sued the Corporation and its St. Petersburg subsidiary UralStroyTechnology for 1.7 billion rubles in debt and 369.8 million rubles in interest.

Polar "cut"

The Polyarnaya thermal power plant is currently frozen. On the site of the project, into which an astronomical 17 million rubles were invested, there is a pile field. The Development Corporation borrowed money for the project from the Czech Export Bank. The government of Yamal acted as the guarantor of the loan. However, the Yamal authorities have already stated that they do not need the station...

However, even at Polyarnaya, experts believe, the management of the Corporation managed to cut things down quite well. Thus, in 2010, Galileo Investments S.A. received a share in the authorized capital of LLC Energy Company Ural Industrial - Ural Polar in the amount of 810.1 million rubles for the transfer of Polyarnaya to one - attention! - a used Siemens gas turbine unit manufactured in 1979, which was dismantled in Germany as having “lost its resource.” Another purchased installation could also be considered an “old lady” - it was 30 years old. At the same time, its employees speak for both installations of “KR”, off the record, initially. But immediately after purchasing the units, they went for repairs and ended up being much more expensive than new ones.

After the arrest of the leadership of the Development Corporation, other cases related to theft in numerous subsidiaries of the Kyrgyz Republic began to move forward. Thus, the subsidiary Energy Company Ural Industrial - Ural Polar was declared bankrupt. Now, in total, the Polyarnaya TPP and the Kharp-12 TPP are under hammer for debts of 20 billion. At the same time, Polyarnaya, in which, as already mentioned, 17 billion rubles were invested, is practically worth nothing, there is no station - just a bare construction site.

But even “Harp” could not be launched for a long time. The project was completed only after Oleg Demchenko, who sat in the chair of the head of Ural Industrial - Ural Polar from 2007 to 2009, got off the Corporation's neck.

Demchenko’s favorite “daughters”

What did the top manager do during the two years of his reign at UP-UP? In general, Mr. Demchenko, although he has not implemented a single core project in the corporation, has created a structure that is most convenient for “cutting.” In two years, Ural acquired no less than 13 subsidiaries. It was in them that Mr. Demchenko invested billions of regional rubles. In particular, the same company “Ural StroyTechnologies” was founded, from which “Mostrostroy-12” sued money.

After the arrests of the leadership of the Development Corporation, experts consider it obvious that the “subsidiaries” of the Kyrgyz Republic will burst one after another. Accordingly, new frauds carried out by top management over the years will also be revealed.

Demchenko, by the way, “absconded” from the Development Corporation just in time. Auditors from the office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of Russia in the Urals Federal District Nikolai Vinnichenko conducted an independent audit of the financial and economic activities of “KR” and discovered numerous inappropriate expenses. In particular, the management did not spare money: the salary of the deputy director was on average 200 thousand rubles, the director of the department - 130 thousand rubles. Expensive cars were bought, an expensive office was rented. On trips, top managers stayed in hotels for 1.5 million rubles. Against the backdrop of all this, the Corporation stubbornly stated that there was simply no money for current activities.

Demchenko today “warmed up” in the Perm government “under the wing” of Governor Viktor Basargin. Both left the Development Corporation a long time ago, but law enforcement officers have dismantled the “cutting” structure, and one can hope that all the heroes of this story will be presented to the court one way or another. , and his affairs in the “KR” could be the last straw before his resignation, and then even before his “imprisonment.” Then faithful comrades will be able to exist “hand in hand” further - but in a prison cell.

From the Development Corporation website, before Maslov assumed the position of general director of the corporation, he held senior positions at LUKOIL. In 2008-2011, he served as president of St. Petersburg International Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange CJSC.​

The corporation itself is implementing the investment project “Ural Industrial - Ural Polar” and some other investment projects. Among them are the Northern Latitudinal Railway, a bridge over the Nadym River, a building materials plant in the city of Nyagan and a number of others.

As Kommersant reported, dozens of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB were involved in the operation to detain Maslov and Karamanov; it was held last Wednesday at almost 30 addresses in Moscow and the Moscow region. In particular, according to the newspaper, counterintelligence officers and employees of the GUEBiPK came to the office of Development Corporation JSC in Bolshoi Savvinsky Lane.

Maslov was detained in the Arkhangelskoye cottage village, where, according to the newspaper, he has an estate located on more than 3 hectares, with an area of ​​almost 3 thousand square meters. m. According to the participants in the operation, to whom the publication refers, “the residence of the head of the Development Corporation JSC was more like a museum” - in particular, there was an author’s copy of the sculpture “Rhinoceros” by Salvador Dali, the walls of the house were decorated with paintings by Russian artists, in a separate room there was There is a collection of watches from famous brands.

About $100 thousand was found in the safes in Maslov’s house, writes Kommersant, and in the garage there were a Bentley, a Maybach and two rare Mercedes. Also, the newspaper notes with reference to the special services, the head of the Development Corporation has several apartments in Moscow, real estate abroad, and at one of the foreign shipyards he was building a 70-meter yacht worth more than €50 million.

A similar event, the publication reports, was held in a cottage village in the Petrovo-Dalniy area on Novorizhskoe Highway - Karamanov lives there. A large sum of money and a lot of jewelry were also found in his mansion.

Nothing except documents and electronic storage media was confiscated from the detainees. In the near future, according to Kommersant, the investigation intends to petition the court to seize the property of the defendants in the case to pay off the alleged damage. Maslov’s estate, according to some sources, is valued at more than $100 million, the newspaper notes.

Maslov and Karamanov, as well as the former chairman of the board of directors of RITC Bank Dmitry Khasanov and former member Elmira Miloserdova (provided financial and legal services to the management of the Development Corporation) were transported to Rostov-on-Don, the newspaper reports. They were arrested until November 30 as part of a criminal case initiated at the end of September by the local Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs regarding the “misappropriation of funds” (Article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) from clients of the Narodny Kredit bank.

As law enforcement officials established, the newspaper reports, in October 2014, shortly before the revocation of Narodny Kredit’s license, Maslov and Karamanov invested more than 1 billion rubles into it, received from the shareholders of the Development Corporation - regions of the Ural Federal District for the development of transport, energy and social infrastructure within the framework of the project “Industrial Urals - Polar Urals”. The money, with the assistance of the bank’s managers, according to the investigation, was transferred to offshore companies in Cyprus and invested in personal projects of the joint-stock company’s managers.

In Rostov-on-Don, Kommersant notes, in custody on charges of embezzling more than 10 billion rubles from this bank. are the former deputy head of the Ministry of Energy of Russia and the owner of People's Credit Stanislav Svetlitsky - according to the newspaper, a friend of Maslov, as well as the deputy chairman of the bank Irina Pereverzeva, the head of the bank's security service Nikolai Molotilkin and accountant Maya Nyushkova.

According to the investigation, the management of the Development Corporation could have placed funds for their subsequent theft in other problem banks. The amount of damage charged to the defendants in the case could increase at least tenfold, a law enforcement source told the newspaper.

The corporation itself refrained from commenting for the publication, citing the lack of management.

At this point there was an article entitled “The Golden Sum dissuaded, or Why the forecast of the editors of Kompromat-Ural regarding Ziya(v)udin Magomedov is coming true.” The text of the article dated April 4, 2018 consisted of five paragraphs. Only one of them mentioned Mikhail Kiyko. Mikhail Yuryevich is now the former general director of United Grain Company JSC (UGC). Kiiko stayed in this position for barely a year and a half and was fired in November 2018. JSC "OZK" is half owned by a businessman Ziyavudin Magomedov.

The mention in the above-mentioned article about the “relationship of financial dependence” between Magomedov and Kiiko caused the latter’s displeasure. Mr. Kiyko’s application demanding the removal of the disputed article (all five paragraphs, and not just about Kiyko) was considered by a judge of the Arbitration Court of the Sverdlovsk Region Elena Seliverstova. She fully satisfied the claim, which was far-fetched, in our opinion.

On 01/09/2019 the decision came into force. Following the letter of the law, the editors of Kompromat-Ural deleted the text within the established period. Nevertheless, we will continue to appeal the illegal and absurd, in our opinion, judicial act and thank all readers who assist in this.

We remind you of the feedback address:compromising- ural@ protonmail. com

The May holidays turned out to be hot for the correspondents of the Kompromat-Ural portal. We have new information at our disposal to continue the anti-corruption investigation against the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Nikolai Brykin. This is a former general of the tax police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now a representative of the lower house of parliament in the Supreme Court (Brykin was delegated to the State Duma in 2016 on the list of United Russia from the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Tyumen Region).

The scandals surrounding Brykin are caused by the fact that the Ugra entrepreneur is from the “list Titova» Konstantin Dyulgerov, forced to flee Russia due to pressure from the security forces, openly accused the retired general of organizing a custom-made criminal prosecution. Dyulgerov revealed the details of his misadventures in detail in an actual interview with Novaya Gazeta. The victim in the dubious case of Dyulgerov is Brykin’s son-in-law Sergey Kiryanov, and the hero of the scandal himself, as the editors of Kompromat-Ural found out, before being nominated to the State Duma, transferred multimillion-dollar development assets on the Black Sea coast to his daughter Valentin Kiryanov(in 2016, Breeze LLC, which was transferred to her, had assets worth almost half a billion rubles on its balance sheet!). Brykin ran for deputy as a modest representative of the “patriotic fund” (legally this was a fiction).

The other day, the editorial office of Kompromat-Ural received a response from the Assistant Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Valeria Volkova(Valery Georgievich came from the leadership of the Prosecutor General’s Office for supervision over the implementation of anti-corruption legislation). We contacted Yuri Chaika on the issue of verifying the accuracy of the declaration information about the personal welfare of Mr. Brykin. Is the people's servant living within his means, who in the shortest possible time after leaving the Ministry of Internal Affairs turned into a dollar millionaire, and then just as quickly got rid of his “deserved” wealth before the elections to the State Duma?

In a recent publication by our colleagues from the Tyumen publication 72.ru, it was noted that according to formal declarations, Nikolai Brykin hangs out at the bottom of the deputy rating: “for 2017, his income amounted to “only” 4.8 million rubles. Less than others, but don't rush to conclusions. He owns two huge plots of land, a couple of spacious country houses and a modest apartment of 76 square meters. His wife has a larger apartment: 116 square meters. Also registered on it are four residential country houses and two plots of land. And all their family vehicles are registered to Brykin’s wife - a Toyota Land Cruiser, a Shore Land SRV31B trailer and a Sea Ray 185S boat. How the lady managed to buy all this “herself”, earning 2.9 million a year, one can only guess.”

An assistant to Yuri Chaika reported to the editors of Kompromat-Ural that “the powers to conduct appropriate checks in relation to deputies of the State Duma” are vested in the Duma commission for monitoring the reliability of income information, headed by Natalia Poklonskaya(she is also deputy chairman of the Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption). Therefore, according to Valery Volkov’s response, the appeal about Brykin was sent to the lower house. The editors of Kompromat-Ural will monitor the responses of the State Duma Speaker’s office Vyacheslav Volodin and the profile commission. In mid-April, Mrs. Poklonskaya confirmed to reporters that Brykin is indeed one of the five persons involved in anti-corruption checks carried out by the commission she heads. By the way, in this list Brykin is adjacent to the “pubic” deputy from the LDPR, the hero of immoral sex scandals Leonid Slutsky.

11 thousand defrauded shareholders of the bankrupt investment fund "Yamal" can join the company of depositors of the bank "Ugra", whose claims are directed to the banker arrested the other day Alexey Khotin. As follows from published documents studied by the editors of Kompromat-Ural, more than a billion rubles from Yamal’s assets were used to purchase obviously illiquid bills of the Krasny Bogatyr company, controlled by Khotin. It is obvious that the banker could have pulled off such a large-scale scam only in collusion with the former managers of Yamal and the fund’s property management company.

Last November, the arbitration court’s ruling on the liquidation of the enterprise ended the inglorious history of the Yamal Fund OJSC, which was dubbed the “Yamal MMM” in the press. Almost 11 thousand residents of the Autonomous Okrug were defrauded by the fund's investors, including representatives of the small peoples of the North, whose small incomes were skillfully taken advantage of by swindlers.

In a letter to the governor of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug Dmitry Kobylkin from 2010, minority shareholders told how in the early 90s the former general director of the Fund Eugene Sklyarov actively traveled around the cities and towns of the district, not ignoring even the temporary camps of reindeer herders, met with people and persistently invited them to exchange recently received privatization checks for shares of the Fund.

At first, investors who responded to this offer felt confident: the fund converted the collected vouchers into shares of OAO Gazprom, which until 2008 made up 90% of its investment portfolio. And then events began that can only be explained by the selfish interests of the people authorized to make decisions...

Perm security forces hope to detain sooner or later the former chairman of the board of Ekoprombank JSCB Andrey Tueva(TIN 590301312244), who has been in Cyprus for several years, dodging in every possible way from extradition to Russia. According to investigators, Tuev’s machinations to withdraw assets brought the bank to financial collapse, sources of the Kompromat-Ural editorial office note. Today this is perceived satirically, but the accused New Cypriot himself was a member of the organization “Public Commission to Combat Corruption in the Perm Region” several years ago.

By August 1, 2012, Ecoprombank’s obligations to creditors exceeded the financial capabilities of the institution by 847 million rubles! And by the time the license was revoked on August 18, 2014, this amount had increased to 3.1 billion rubles. Ecoprombank was created in 1992 and took 252nd place in the TOP 300 banks ranking. It is believed that 53% of the bank’s shares belonged to the structures of the ex-CEO of Silvinit Petra Kondrasheva, the rest - to the deputy Vladimir Nelyubin(also in the dock, his criminal case is being considered in the Leninsky District Court of Perm) and his companions.

Former chairman of the board of OJSC JSCB Ekoprombank Andrei Tuev fled Russia shortly after the bankruptcy of the bank - on December 8, 2015. According to Interpol, Tuev, his wife Tatiana Mazuka, their son has been registered in Germany since 2011. The German identification cards issued to them, which were valid until the end of 2016, gave the defendants the right to permanent residence in Germany and to free movement in 26 member countries of the Schengen agreement, as well as in the Republic of Cyprus and more than ten other states not included in this agreement.

On June 2, 2016, Tuev’s wife flew from Moscow Sheremetyevo to Munich airport and never returned to Russia. In the bankrupt Ecoprombank, she worked as a member of the board, head of the treasury, and deputy chief accountant - and became suspected of complicity in committing fraud imputed to Tuev.

After sending numerous appeals to the Presidential Administration, the Prosecutor General's Office, the FSB, the Investigative Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the editorial office of Kompromat-Ural became aware of the arrest of a scandalous lawyer involved in numerous frauds with large property assets. Prisoner - 48 year old Karamzin Kantemir Feliksovich(TIN 773373042820, before changing my passport it was Artur Kokoev). In the registers of the Federal Tax Service he is listed as the director of Nobel Technologies LLC, co-owner of Lie Detector CJSC and Kamchatsky Bear LLC (a legal entity of one employee) and the former co-founder of International Lottery Company LLC (liquidated by tax authorities as inactive). Judging by the abundance of the same type of sugary and laudatory links given by Internet search engines in the first positions, Karamzin tried to hide from the public unpleasant, with a criminal odor, facts of his biography.

Readers and correspondents of the Kompromat-Ural publication are interested in Mr. Karamzin (Kokaev) due to information about his corrupt relationships with government officials and involvement in raider attacks. Now Karamzin is in a pre-trial detention center on suspicion of particularly large-scale fraud. He was detained upon returning to Moscow from the United States, where he ignored requests from Russian law enforcement officers for a long time. As Pravo.Ru reports, the arrest took place at the entrance to the Moscow Arbitration Court. At the same time, Karamzin “became ill,” but the emergency doctors who arrived found no reason for his hospitalization. Did your artistic abilities not help this time?

The circumstances of the arrest indirectly confirm the rumored version about the suspect’s close acquaintances with “werewolves in robes.” According to media reports, Karamzin’s preventive measure was specifically chosen not in the capital, but in the Moscow region - in the Balashikha city court, “due to his connections in the Moscow judicial system.”

In the comments of readers of the Rosbalt news agency it is reported (literally): “the corrupt judges with whom he dealt have long since been reassigned and promoted...” Sources from the Kompromat-Ural editorial team believe that FSB operatives will be interested in the arrestee’s revelations about his connections in the justice system and the actions of the “judicial mafia” (if, of course, there is one in our impeccable rule of law state). In the future, the recorded testimony may be useful for the Investigative Committee of Russia and the High Qualification Board of Judges. Our correspondents, in turn, are also ready to accept interesting information and make it available to the competent authorities. Write:compromising- ural@ protonmail. com

The editors of Kompromat-Ural keep under control information about schemes and scandals surrounding the Naftagaz company. Recent reports from corporate and law enforcement sources suggest that Tokay Kerimov, the beneficiary of Naftagaz, which includes Naftagaz-Burenie, plans to introduce enterprises into the so-called “controlled bankruptcy.” “The scheme may be as follows,” says a law enforcement officer, “not without the knowledge of Tokay Kerimov and the general director of Naftagaz-Burenia.” Islam Nazaralieva LLCs are registered in the name of third parties, where machinery and equipment are purchased with creditors’ money. Then all this is leased to NG-Burenie at prices with all the signs that they are obviously higher than market prices. Thus, Kerimov has two birds with one stone killed at once. Firstly, cash flows in, and secondly, the creditor’s debt to these same friendly companies is increasing.”

The editors of Kompromat-Ural are collecting new information from knowledgeable specialists to evaluate the presented version. According to the economist Andrey Weber, “such a scheme is used, as a rule, when deliberate bankruptcy is planned. In the situation with Naftagaz-Burenie, the owner Tokay Kerimov and the company’s management are acting according to a well-known scenario - they are doing everything to ensure that debts to friendly companies are higher than to other creditors. Then friendly firms will file for bankruptcy at NG-Burenia, Kerimov will appoint his own person as bankruptcy manager and bankrupt the company as he pleases, most likely transferring all the property to newly created legal entities with dummy owners. In this way, Tokai Kerimov will be able to introduce NG-Burenie into controlled bankruptcy,” the expert sums up his opinion.

It is worth noting that today Naftagaz-Burenie owes over 3 billion rubles to real creditors, and the debt to “front” creditors is likely to be approximately the same size.

The largest operator of waste reform, Municipal Unitary Enterprise of Yekaterinburg "Spetsavtobaza", for whose work the mayor is responsible Alexander Vysokinsky, under the pressure of public protest and the actions of inspection bodies, was forced to admit the exorbitance of his financial appetites. The day before, correspondents of the Kompromat-Ural project learned that Spetsavtobaza had changed its mind about seeking an increase in its tariffs through the courts. Let us recall that the consideration of the claim in the Sverdlovsk Regional Court ended in failure for the scandalous enterprise: Themis sided with the prosecutor’s office.

The resonance from the antics of the new leadership of “Special Base”, which appeared in the municipal unitary enterprise after Vysokinsky’s “reign” at the mayor’s office, has already reached Moscow. For now, it’s up to the federal government, but soon Vysokinsky may “arrive” from the Presidential Administration, which, as any official knows, is not to be trifled with. Head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service Igor Artemiev took personal control of the financial “wishlist” of the EMUP “Spetsavtobaza”. The head of the Regional Energy Commission (REC) of the Sverdlovsk region may get it from Artemyev Andrey Grishanov. This governor's appointee Evgenia Kuyvasheva together with his subordinates, he agreed on tariffs for the garbage operator.

The chief Russian antimonopoly official officially confirmed the fact of an inspection in relation to the regional regional energy commission “in order to determine the reliability and economic justification of tariffs” EMUP “Spetsavtobaza”. According to the editorial office of Kompromat-Ural, the FAS Russia inspection has already pointed out signs of violations of the law committed by the REK members. Now Andrei Grishanov’s department has the right to submit objections to the central office of the FAS, but has not yet done so, Artemyev clarified. In any case, he promises to hold a special meeting of the commission in Moscow on the problem of inflated tariffs of the Yekaterinburg “Spetsavtobaza”. Our correspondents will monitor developments.

Meanwhile, the forecast made by analysts of the Kompromat-Ural portal in one of the previous publications is confirmed. We reported that this is a real Klondike for law enforcement (not only the prosecutor’s office, but, for example, the FSB and the Investigative Committee) and control and supervisory authorities (primarily the regional OFAS under the leadership Dmitry Shalabodova) may become the procurement activity of EMUP "Spetsavtobaza". In other words, where are the billions collected from citizens and businesses under the enslaving “garbage reform” flowing from the municipal enterprise? Particularly interesting are the facts of ignoring transparency requirements and manipulating procurement procedures...

Observers of the Kompromat-Ural publication are working to develop a public investigation into the activities of the EMUP Spetsavtobaza. We are grateful to readers for interesting messages on a topical topic:compromising- ural@ protonmail. com

The leaders of the Development Corporation, Sergei Maslov and Vladimir Karamanov, will be under arrest until November 30. This decision was made on October 21 by the Leninsky Court of Rostov-on-Don.

Vladimir Karamanov is the deputy head of the company Sergei Maslov. It is noted that searches were carried out in the office and home of the detainees.

As previously reported, a criminal case has been opened against Sergei Maslov for the theft of more than 1 billion rubles through the Narodny Kredit bank. According to the investigation, Maslov, together with his deputy, entered into a conspiracy with the management of the bank before revoking the organization’s license and placed there funds belonging to the Development Corporation, which were subsequently stolen. Political scientist, head of the Center for the Study of Social Applied Problems Alexander Zhilin comments:

“What we are seeing now, in my opinion and this is my deep conviction, is still a struggle between clans, because I don’t see such a strict, targeted fight against corruption. I will give an elementary example: Rostov journalist, Colonel Alexander Mikhailovich Tolmachev responded to the president’s call to fight corruption. With an open visor I went against werewolves in Rostov in court, in the police, etc. It ended with him being thrown into a Khrushchev-era prison and given 9 years without proving a single charge. Here's the fight against corruption in Russia. Yes, the clans are fighting, because the situation is changing both in Russia and in the world too. The world will be reformatted from the point of view of the interests of the global oligarchy, global finance, so there is a struggle inside Russia, in Ukraine, wherever there are such large structures that make it possible not only to earn money, but to stay afloat, what is called integrating into this global oligarchic world.

Therefore, in my opinion, this competition led to the fact that they were arrested so seemingly hastily, although how much before that it was said that there was corruption, etc. And no one reacted to this. Let us recall examples of corruption among governors who each had a billion in cash in their apartments. Everyone knew about it, but for some reason they were not touched. I sometimes get the impression that in Russia, corruption is the main bond of the vertical power structure in order to maintain its loyalty and controllability. But here we are talking about a lot of money and, of course, the competition is fierce, and administrative resources are also involved. But, unfortunately, administrative resources have a price, so we see what we see. It's all sad. If, in fact, specific people were removed and corruption stopped tomorrow, this could be welcomed, but we know that others will come to replace them, nothing fundamentally will change.”

Another high-profile arrest took place the day before in the Moscow region. Before we had time to forget about Dmitry Zakharchenko’s money, which resembled the warehouses of Scrooge McDuck, another official showed himself again. The general director of the Development Corporation, Sergei Maslov, is suspected of embezzlement on an especially large scale. According to investigators, he and his deputy stole a billion rubles of government money. By Zakharchenko's standards, the money is almost pocket money.
