As it became known, last week the Lublinsky Court of Moscow arrested the general director of the VIP-Stroyengineering company Vadim Mitryakov and the ex-head of the Nizhny Novgorod Volga-Vyatka Construction Company (VVSK) Evgenia Degtyareva. They are suspected of stealing about 300 million rubles, which should have been used for the construction of roads to Vostochny Cosmodrome, but were used to pay off debts.

About new arrests related to theft of funds for the construction of spaceport infrastructure, several law enforcement sources said. In total, within the framework of the criminal case initiated on April 23, 2015 under Part 4 of Art. 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (misappropriation or embezzlement committed by an organized group or on an especially large scale), five people pass. Among them is the general director of the subcontractor company for the construction of Vostochny "VIP-Stroyengineering" Vadim Mitryakov, as well as ex-head of the VVSK Evgenia Degtyareva and her father Sergey Degtyarev(de facto owned the company). According to the interlocutors, the preventive measure in the form of arrest was chosen by the Lublin Court of Moscow on September 8. The VIP-Stroyengineering telephone numbers listed in the SPARK system did not work. The VVSK did not answer calls yesterday.

According to the information, the attention of operatives was attracted by a large number of subcontracting organizations that appeared as part of a contract for the construction of cosmodrome infrastructure facilities worth about 13.6 billion rubles, concluded on July 14, 2012 between the Federal Institution "Directorate of the Vostochny Cosmodrome" and the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Spetsstroytekhnologii at Spetsstroy of the Russian Federation" . To implement it, the latter enterprise entered into a subcontract agreement with VIP-Stroyengineering, transferring over 1.7 billion rubles. advance Subsequently, the company engaged the construction company Apogey to carry out the work: under the terms of the contract, it was to build two connecting highways with a length of 1.95 and 2.3 km (this work was estimated at 570 million rubles). But, as investigators established, in October 2014, Apogey, having received an advance of 300 million rubles, entered into another subcontract agreement - this time with the Air Force. As soon as Apogee transferred the entire advance to the company's settlement accounts of Alta-Bank CJSC, the money was used to repay the company's previously formed principal debt. When the construction of roads had not begun by April 1, and no one expected a refund, the investigation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Main Directorate for Economic Security and Anti-Corruption, as well as the FSB department for the Amur Region got involved.

Let us remind you that about ten criminal cases have now been opened regarding the construction of Vostochny, and the same number are at the stage of pre-investigation. One of the most notorious is the case former head of FSUE "Dalspetsstroy" Yuri Khrizman, whom in October 2014 the Investigative Committee accused of involvement in the theft of about 1.8 billion rubles allocated for the construction of the cosmodrome. In general, according to Interfax, the damage from theft in Vostochny exceeded 5.4 billion rubles.

Do you think you are Russian? Were you born in the USSR and think that you are Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian? No. This is wrong.

Are you actually Russian, Ukrainian or Belarusian? But do you think that you are a Jew?

Game? Wrong word. The correct word is “imprinting”.

The newborn associates himself with those facial features that he observes immediately after birth. This natural mechanism is characteristic of most living creatures with vision.

Newborns in the USSR saw their mother for a minimum of feeding time during the first few days, and most of the time they saw the faces of the maternity hospital staff. By a strange coincidence, they were (and still are) mostly Jewish. The technique is wild in its essence and effectiveness.

Throughout your childhood, you wondered why you lived surrounded by strangers. The rare Jews on your way could do whatever they wanted with you, because you were drawn to them, and pushed others away. Yes, even now they can.

You cannot fix this - imprinting is one-time and for life. It’s difficult to understand; the instinct took shape when you were still very far from being able to formulate it. From that moment, no words or details were preserved. Only facial features remained in the depths of memory. Those traits that you consider to be your own.

System and observer

Let's define a system as an object whose existence is beyond doubt.

An observer of a system is an object that is not part of the system it observes, that is, it determines its existence through factors independent of the system.

The observer, from the point of view of the system, is a source of chaos - both control actions and the consequences of observational measurements that do not have a cause-and-effect relationship with the system.

An internal observer is an object potentially accessible to the system in relation to which inversion of observation and control channels is possible.

An external observer is an object, even potentially unattainable for the system, located beyond the system’s event horizon (spatial and temporal).

Hypothesis No. 1. All Seeing Eye

Let's assume that our universe is a system and it has an external observer. Then observational measurements can occur, for example, with the help of “gravitational radiation” penetrating the universe from all sides from the outside. The cross section of the capture of “gravitational radiation” is proportional to the mass of the object, and the projection of the “shadow” from this capture onto another object is perceived as an attractive force. It will be proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them, which determines the density of the “shadow”.

The capture of “gravitational radiation” by an object increases its chaos and is perceived by us as the passage of time. An object opaque to “gravitational radiation”, the capture cross section of which is larger than its geometric size, looks like a black hole inside the universe.

Hypothesis No. 2. Inner Observer

It is possible that our universe is observing itself. For example, using pairs of quantum entangled particles separated in space as standards. Then the space between them is saturated with the probability of the existence of the process that generated these particles, reaching its maximum density at the intersection of the trajectories of these particles. The existence of these particles also means that there is no capture cross section on the trajectories of objects that is large enough to absorb these particles. The remaining assumptions remain the same as for the first hypothesis, except:

Passage of time

An outside observation of an object approaching the event horizon of a black hole, if the determining factor of time in the universe is an “external observer,” will slow down exactly twice - the shadow of the black hole will block exactly half of the possible trajectories of “gravitational radiation.” If the determining factor is the “internal observer,” then the shadow will block the entire trajectory of interaction and the flow of time for an object falling into a black hole will completely stop for an outside view.

It is also possible that these hypotheses can be combined in one proportion or another.

The Simonovsky District Court of Moscow has begun considering another criminal case of theft at the Vostochny cosmodrome. In the dock are Evgenia Degtyareva, former general director of the Volga-Vyatka Construction Company (VVSK), her father Sergei Degtyarev, whom the investigation considers the actual owner of the company, former managers of the company Alexander Bazankov and Murat Matuev. They were charged under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud committed by a group of persons on an especially large scale), as well as legalization of proceeds from crime. The fifth defendant, general director of the VIP-Stroyengineering company Vadim Mitryakov, entered into a pre-trial agreement with the investigation back in February 2016, and his case is now being heard in a special manner - that is, without a judicial investigation.

According to investigators from the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, in 2014, VIP-Stroyengineering hired the Apogey company to build roads to the cosmodrome, and the latter, in turn, subcontracted VVSK. This company, having received 300 million rubles in advance, spent the money to pay off previously incurred debts, in particular to the capital construction department of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations for the failure of contracts for the construction of apartments in Moscow and Sochi and for failure to fulfill obligations for the construction of the building of the Krasnoyarsk branch of the All-Russian Center for Emergency and Radiation medicine named after A.M. Nikiforova Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia. In addition, the leadership of VVSK used budget money to lend to companies and individuals affiliated with it. The indictment includes the amount of total damage - one billion 363 million rubles.

Investigation version

At the end of August 2013, the construction company "VIP-Stroyengineering" became the winner of the competition and received from the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Spetsstroytekhnologii" under Spetsstroy of Russia (liquidated by Presidential Decree in December 2016 - approx. "Tapes.ru") contracts for the construction of roads to the Vostochny cosmodrome, residential buildings, schools and children's institutions in the city of Uglegorsk, Amur Region, which was renamed Tsiolkovsky last year. As follows from the materials of the criminal case, for the next two years the customer transferred budget funds in installments to the accounts of VIP-Stroyengineering in a total amount of almost two billion rubles.

This company is a subsidiary of the Volga-Vyatka construction company, which, according to data on the official website, has been operating on the market since 1997. “VVSK customers are key departmental structures, such as the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Federal Agency for the Development of the State Border of the Russian Federation (Rosgranitsa) (liquidated by presidential decree in November 2016 - approx. "Tapes.ru"), Spetsstroy of Russia, as well as state-owned companies such as IDGC and Transneft,” says the company’s website. In 2011, VSVK's turnover amounted to about four billion rubles.

In the winter of 2014-2015, the Vostochny Cosmodrome was in the media - it turned out that workers at this important government facility were not paid wages. The command was received to “sort it out,” and all the companies involved in the construction came under the close attention of law enforcement officers. In April 2015, due to financial shortcomings, the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Amur Region opened a criminal case under Article 201 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Abuse of the powers of the head of a commercial organization”).

The reason was the discovery of the theft of 200 million rubles allocated for the construction of the cosmodrome. But VIP-Stroyengineering was the victim in this case - the money was allegedly stolen from it. Despite the fact that the company was searched, law enforcement officers did not make any claims against the father and daughter Degtyarev.

Until September 8th. That day, both were called to the police department and detained - already for fraud. A little later, the managers of VSVK and its “daughters” were detained.

Investigators believe that the Degtyarevs and their accomplices from among the top managers of the Air Force, Alexander Bazankov and Murat Matuev, as well as the former general director of VIP-Stroyengineering Vadim Mitryakov, used the money received from the budget not for the construction of cosmodrome facilities, but to pay off the company’s debts. With reference to the investigation, the Kommersant newspaper wrote that Degtyarev transferred over 700 million rubles to the accounts of the capital construction department of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, for which VIP-Stroyengineering was supposed to build housing in Moscow and Sochi. The developer received an advance for these projects, but did not complete the projects.

In addition, the arbitration ordered VIP-Stroyengineering to pay the Ministry of Emergency Situations more than 300 million rubles for another unrealized project - the construction of a branch of the All-Russian Center for Emergency and Radiation Medicine named after A.M. Nikiforov in Krasnoyarsk.

Degtyarev, according to the investigation, not only paid off his debts with budgetary funds, but also generously lent them to his friends. The companies Atmosphere and Elitstroy, under the guise of an interest-bearing loan, received 11.5 million rubles from VIP-Stroyengineering to conduct commercial activities. Another structure called Land South received 14.5 million rubles under a loan agreement.

As a result, the investigation comes to the conclusion that Degtyarev and his accomplices fraudulently stole one billion 363 million rubles out of almost two billion allocated to VIP-Stroyengineering. They are also charged with laundering these proceeds from crime. The case involves several examinations, including merchandising and financial-economic examinations, which, according to investigators, convincingly prove that funds for the construction of the cosmodrome infrastructure were withdrawn from banks and spent on the personal needs of company owners.

Line of defense

The defense of the accused does not agree with this. Lawyer Hasan-Ali Borokov told a Lenta.ru correspondent that, under the guise of an investigation into a high-profile criminal case, the defendants’ business was taken away, and the damage must be calculated differently, since most of it has already been compensated.

“It’s like this: they give the command to bring a hat, but they carry the head,” lawyer Khasan-Ali Borokov begins his story about the beginning of the investigation in an interview with Lenta.ru. According to him, this story began in the spring of 2015 after reports of non-payment of wages to builders: “Everyone decided to report, tick boxes, and any action was perceived as a crime.”

“The investigators themselves admit that 562 million rubles were used to build facilities at the cosmodrome,” says lawyer Borokov. Temporary buildings were erected there for another 280 million rubles. “The findings of the examination indicate that all the money was used for its intended purpose. Transferring money to contractors to perform work cannot be considered legalization. The most interesting thing is that money continued to flow into the accounts of VIP-Stroyengineering, although a criminal case had already been initiated. In April 2015, a case appeared, and the crime ended, according to investigators, on June 29, 2015, when the last tranche was received. They were being searched, they were under suspicion, but Spetsstroy continued to transfer money to them, construction continued. The deadline for fulfilling the obligations had not yet arrived at the time the case was initiated,” says the lawyer.

According to the lawyer, the investigation interfered with normal business activities: “What is business activity? This is an activity aimed at making profit at your own peril and risk. If I received money into my account, it is my property, no matter who it came from, I can dispose of it at my own discretion in order to make a profit. By legal means, of course. Therefore, covering some of my old debts or transferring for some other obligations does not make any difference. There is no crime here! Another thing is that if I did not fulfill my obligations under the contract, there is liability for this to the customer. This money is not stolen, it is in normal civil circulation.”

Bank guarantee

On July 21, 2015, FSUE Spetsstroytekhnologii terminated the contract with VIP-Stroyengineering due to the fact that the developer missed the deadline for completing construction, despite proper financing from the customer. In this regard, the construction company had to return the advance received in the amount of more than 1,182 million rubles by August 10, 2015.

The lawyers were unable to clarify why the amount of two billion rubles indicated by the investigation, received by the contractor from the customer, does not correspond to the amount of the advance payment of 1,182 million rubles, which appears in the agreement to terminate the contract.

“We haven’t figured out these numbers ourselves yet, the investigation was carried out very poorly,” says Sergei Degtyarev’s lawyer Ruslan Zakalyuzhny.

To pay off this debt, the Degtyarevs took out a loan from Novikombank in the amount of 780 million rubles, mortgaging their personal property. However, they were unable to carry out their plans, because on the eve of receiving the loan funds they were detained in a criminal case, says the lawyer.

“The Degtyarevs decided to take out a loan to resolve the dispute with the customer. The person who is going to steal will not return the money. In August, the investigation did not make any claims against them, until September 8, when they were detained to prevent repayment of the debt. This means that this repayment was not profitable for someone,” Borokov explained.

“Someone needed to ruin the Degtyarevs’ business, seize it, we even know him by his last name,” the lawyer claims and notes that the detention came as a complete surprise to the father and daughter. - The arrest report states that the basis for the arrest was the testimony of a certain person, who directly pointed to them as the persons who committed the crime. No matter how much we search for this face, we cannot find it.”

Despite the failure to repay the debt using a loan, a year later the customer still received his money. On September 27, 2016, the Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal confirmed the decision to pay Spetsstroytekhnologii a bank guarantee in the amount of 980 million rubles. This money was collected from Novikombank as compensation for the advance received by VIP-Stroyengineering from the customer. The presence of such a guarantee was one of the conditions of the contract concluded in 2013 between Spetsstroytekhnologii and a construction company for the construction of facilities at the cosmodrome.

As lawyer Hasan-Ali Borokov explained, one of the reasons for the missed deadlines was that in the same 2013, the prosecutor’s office of the Amur region suspended construction on Vostochny due to the lack of permits from Spetsstroytekhnologii.

The customer is recognized as a victim in a criminal case; the amount of his claims still amounts to 1,363 million rubles, despite the payment of a bank guarantee. “At the preliminary hearing, the victim’s representative confirmed the receipt of 980 million rubles under a bank guarantee. We asked why you demand the seizure of the property (of the Degtyarevs) for the entire amount, and they say: what if something happens,” Borokov is indignant.

Involuntary

On November 23, the Simonovsky court extended the arrest of the Degtyarevs and their alleged accomplices Bazankov and Matuev until May 10. They have been in custody for almost a year and a half.

Lawyers argue that there is a serious violation. Back in 2007, the plenum of the Supreme Court of Russia adopted a resolution on an unconditional ban on the arrest of businessmen accused of fraud, embezzlement and laundering of criminal proceeds committed in business activities. And in order to eradicate the existing practice among judges and investigators who, consciously or not, confuse entrepreneurship with ordinary fraud, the plenum especially noted that any type of non-fulfillment of contracts is considered a business crime, even if the accused had the intent to deceive business partners.

The Degtyarevs' lawyers considered that their case directly fell within the scope of the plenum resolution, and their clients should be released. But the judge listened to the arguments of the investigator, who insisted that the accused could escape if released. In particular, according to the investigation, Bazankov has a company in Germany, and his close friend and witness in his criminal case also lives there.

“The investigation also has information about the sale of property by Degtyarev and his ex-wife and the acquisition of property abroad of the Russian Federation,” says the court decision, available to the editors.

In addition, the investigator said that “during the preliminary inspection and the initial stage of the investigation, before the arrest, the Degtyarevs personally monitored the testimony of witnesses, in particular, in the office of Evgenia Degtyareva at VIP-Stroyengineering, protocols of explanations and interrogations of witnesses in this case were found “, the court ruling notes.

Lawyer Zakalyuzhny is confident that the accused do not have the opportunity to influence the course of the investigation, because it has already been completed. The defense proposed to the court to release the Degtyarevs on bail.

“I think they are sitting illegally, they should be released,” emphasized defense lawyer Borokov.

There is one more legal subtlety in this case. The fact is that three weeks earlier the Simonovsky court began to consider in a special manner the criminal case against the fifth person involved in the case - the former general director of VIP-Stroyengineering Vadim Mitryakov. He entered into a plea agreement and pleaded guilty. In this case, the accused may be given a sentence “below the lowest” - that is, less than the minimum term provided for in the article of the Criminal Code. If Mitryakov is sentenced earlier than his colleagues, then a situation of prejudice will arise: the court will be obliged to accept, without verification, evidence and facts previously established by a court decision that has entered into legal force in another case in which the same persons are involved. That is, the adversarial principle in the process will be violated, and the evidence of the defense will not be examined.

They came under the “wing” of members of an Ingush criminal group associated with the organizers of the terrorist attacks in Moscow. Among them is a project to reconstruct the buildings of the AZLK plant, carry out work in Moscow City, construct several residential areas in Nizhny Novgorod, etc. Previously, at all these sites, the interests of Baturina and Chigirinsky were represented by businessman Sergei Degtyarev. And when the oligarchs hastily left Russia, Ingush “authorities” became the new shadow owners of the projects. And Degtyarev is already serving their interests.

"Strelka" at AZLK: the 90s are back

Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs operatives learned by chance about the emergence of new influential players in the Russian construction business. Recently, several entrepreneurs have shared very interesting information with them. They said that they had been cooperating with Degtyarev for a long time, they knew him as a person of Baturina and Chigirinsky. And then suddenly Sergei’s negotiating style changed dramatically. At first, he began to urgently ask partners to attract only guest workers to the facilities, which were offered by his familiar Ingush entrepreneurs and their companies, in particular Image LLC and Mospromstroy LLC. The partners explained that this was impossible - they had been working with other labor suppliers for a long time. Then they were given a demonstration performance. Ingush and Degtyarev’s friends volunteered to solve problems with competitors in the supply of guest workers and, in the best traditions of the 90s, assigned them a “arrow” right on the territory of AZLK in Moscow. A string of SUVs and even buses with strong Caucasians gathered there. Without any negotiations, the enemy was defeated in literally ten minutes with the help of bats and reinforcement. After this, none of Degtyarev’s acquaintances began to argue about the issue of who should buy labor from. So, gradually most of the capital's construction sites were filled with general workers from Ingush guys.

Next, Degtyarev explained to his partners that payments should be made through shell companies and banks controlled by his Caucasian friends. To ensure credibility, very impressive Ingush people came to the negotiations. Here the businessmen no longer began to argue. And then many of them received an offer to part with their properties in favor of companies whose founders were 25-26-year-old yesterday's students. Ingush “authorities” carried out explanatory work with those who disagreed. As a result, businessmen were forced to part with their assets for literally pennies. Thus, after the former objects of Baturina and Chigirinsky, many more contracts for the repair of metropolitan kindergartens, schools, etc. were under the control of Degtyarev and his Caucasian friends.

First they blew it up, now they're building it

The businessmen told the operatives that they did not know the names of Sergei’s Ingush friends. But we remembered their names and saved their mobile phone numbers. Having pushed these people through their bases, the Ministry of Internal Affairs officers grabbed their heads. It turned out that the construction business came under the control of their “old acquaintances.” Only earlier they were suspected of organizing explosions, but now they decided to start constructing buildings. So, who are these new owners of Russian construction sites?

1. Pliev Bagaudin Baterbekovich, born in 1970. Officially listed as the founder of Mospromstroy LLC. He was involved in a criminal case involving the seizure of the musical "Nord-Ost" and the bombing of a car at McDonald's in Moscow in 2002. According to the investigation materials, Pliev maintained a relationship with Murdalov Aslan Isaevich, who was sentenced to 20 years in 2004. According to the prosecutor's office, Murdalov participated in planting a bomb at Tavriya, which exploded near the restaurant, and was also one of the developers of the plan to attack the musical. The case details calls from phone 1093523, which Murdalov used during all these events. It follows from it that on October 21, 2002 (two days after the explosion at McDonald's and two days before the capture of Norod-Ost) at 19:22:51 Murdalov made an outgoing call to the number 89104762761, which he was using at that time Bagaudin Pliev. The latter was interrogated and told investigators that he knew Aslan, but had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks. It was not possible to prove his involvement in the events of autumn 2002.

2. Matuev Marat Iosifovich, born in 1969. “Right hand” and closest associate of Bagaudin Pliev. He is the founder of Mospromstroy LLC, Image LLC. In the databases of the Moscow RUBOP, he is listed as an active member of Temerlan Okuev’s organized crime group.

3. Khunkaev Movladi Tutaevich, born in 1955. Officially listed as the founder and director of Karus-M LLC. According to the Moscow RUBOP, he was an active member of the organized crime group of Temrlan Okuev. On October 17, 2005, employees of the Central Administrative District of the Federal Drug Control Service in Moscow detained an experienced drug addict, Alexander Viktorovich Boyko, for possession of marijuana. During interrogations, Boyko told how he earned money for the potion. He removed spare parts from prestigious foreign cars and sold them to a man named Movladi. Boyko even named the prices: headlights with turn signals - $100, grille - $80, wings - $35. The operatives established that Movladi is Movladi Khunkaev. During interrogation, he categorically denied his acquaintance with Boyko.

4. A certain person nicknamed Maga, whose identity investigators have not been able to establish for many years. As the same Boyko admitted during interrogations, a certain Maga bought spare parts from him together with Movladi. However, in 2005 it was not possible to find out who was behind this nickname. Again, the mysterious Maga made himself known two years later. On November 1, 2007, on Vorontsovskaya Street in the center of Moscow, 50-year-old Alexey Chulkov, an adviser to the Minister of Agriculture, was blown up in his own Volvo XC70 car. A bomb with a capacity of 200 grams of TNT was planted under the bottom of the foreign car. The official was seriously injured. Investigators requested billing of phones used in the area where the crime was committed. Among the eight numbers, the detectives were particularly interested in one - 89262368422. With the help of operational information and technical means, it was established that this number was used by the same Maga from the address book of the drug addict Boyko. He became one of the main suspects in the case, but it was not possible to identify this person. Checking the phone numbers of Degtyarev’s Caucasian friends, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation established that one of the numbers given to them was used by a person who had previously used the number 89262368422 and the number that the drug addict Boyko called. That is, the same elusive Maga.

5. Pliev Mamotsali Khamurzievich, born in 1951. Officially listed as the founder of Rusgazbeton LLC. In 2007, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Karachay-Cherkessia put him on the federal wanted list on charges under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud on an especially large scale). A year later, he was detained by operatives and handed over to the initiators of the search. However, he soon mysteriously found himself free.

6. Pliev Kureysh Savarbekovich, born in 1971. “Right hand” Mamotsali Plieva and his close relative. In 1995, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ingushetia put him on the federal wanted list under Article 146 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR (robbery). In 2001, the search for Pliev was stopped.

From Baturina to Ingush authorities

Having become interested in Sergei Degtyarev, who has acquaintances with such “rich” biographies, the operatives found out the following. At one time he was a career military man, served in the North, then moved to Sergiev Posad near Moscow, where he became friends with representatives of the criminal world. In the early 2000s, he created Everest LLC, the other founders of which were Mamotsali Pliev and Vladimir Yurievich Kaledin, born in 1965. The last character is also well known to the operatives - he was prosecuted for robbery, illegal possession of weapons and infliction of grievous bodily harm. At the same time, Degtyarev, through Pliev, became acquainted with all these formidable Caucasians who are now accompanying him during the negotiations. As a person who does not have any “stains” in his biography, Degtyarev was delegated by the “authorities” to solve problems with representatives of the capital’s authorities. Quite quickly, he became a frequent guest at the Moscow City Hall, establishing very productive relationships with the now former leaders of the city - Deputy Mayor Yuri Roslyak and head of the Department of Science and Industrial Policy Evgeniy Panteleev. Gradually, his functions expanded significantly and by the mid-2000s, Degtyarev became known in the construction community as a professional fixer. A person who is in favor of kickbacks is able to organize profitable contracts for companies from the city authorities for construction work. He also began to undertake to provide construction sites with guest workers, etc. Through Degtyarev it was always possible to easily cash out large sums of money - a very popular service among construction businessmen. In particular, the same Mamotsali Pliev is closely connected with the Russian General Bank, a very well-known cash-out platform in financial circles. In short, Degtyarev became a “master” of a wide profile, without whom even oligarchs find it difficult to do. As a result, Elena Baturina and Shalva Chigirinsky recruited him to organize work on the construction of Moscow City, the reconstruction of the AZLK and a number of other facilities. Degtyarev was also noticed in the project for the construction of residential areas in Nizhny Novgorod, which was carried out by the local construction magnate and owner of the VVSK company Stanislav Kotelnikov. And then Baturina, Chigirinsky and Kotelnikov went abroad. All because of problems with law enforcement agencies. Left without oligarch owners, Degtyarev turned to his Ingush acquaintances for help. He himself did not have sufficient funds to buy out the fugitives' construction projects. But people from the Caucasus had the necessary amounts. As a result, it was they who, through Degtyarev, acquired assets in the construction market. And the objects were registered to companies whose owners were listed as very young and unknown people. Thus, Slavkapstroy LLC was urgently established by Dmitry Nikolaevich Aksenov, born in 1985. Now this structure is involved in projects that were previously carried out by the companies of Baturina and Chigirinsky - the reconstruction of the AZLK-Moskvich plant, Moscow City and a number of residential buildings in Moscow. In all these facilities, Slavkapstroy became the owner of significant shares. After Kotelnikov’s escape, the only founder of VVSK was Evgenia Sergeevna Degtyareva, born in 1987 (daughter of Sergei Degtyarev). Currently, VVSK is constructing several residential blocks in Nizhny Novgorod, the building of the Southern Regional Search and Rescue Team of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, an industrial building on Volgogradsky Prospekt in Moscow, etc. And again, apartments in residential buildings belong to the same VVSK, and the company has a share in the industrial building. Although in fact the owners of all these objects are “long-time acquaintances” of operatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

Jacuzzi overlooking Moskvich

Marta Valieva

The usually calm and self-possessed mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, gave vent to his emotions only once in front of journalists during his tenure as mayor. This happened in May 2011 right at a meeting in the government of the capital. Unexpectedly, Sobyanin attacked the State Unitary Enterprise Stroyeksprom, which is developing the innovative territory of the Moskvich plant (formerly AZLK), with unprecedented criticism. And he didn’t even restrain his emotions.

“The premises are rented out for offices, there is a bathhouse, a sauna, and a bedroom there,” the mayor was indignant. “Of course, in such conditions it is very difficult to engage in innovative development on the territory. I propose to send the results of the inspection to law enforcement bodies, the head of the State Unitary Enterprise to be relieved of his position.” And he immediately removed the general director of this state unitary enterprise, Alexander Yuzvik, from his post. As it turned out, the public “flogging” of the mayor was preceded by a very piquant story.

“Moskvich” actually has the most exclusive and largest sauna in the capital. Anyone who wants to, even for a lot of money, cannot get into it. Its visitors are exclusively business tycoons, retired and active generals, metropolitan and regional officials, etc. All of them are personal guests of the owners of this sauna - construction magnate Sergei Degtyarev and his business partner Alexander Yuzvik, now the former director of the State Unitary Enterprise "Construction and Operation of Industrial Facilities" ("Stroyeksprom"). And, as one might assume, he lost his position after one from VIP visitors sauna accidentally found out that everything that happens there is filmed by hidden surveillance cameras.

The story of how AZLK turned into the most elite sauna is very indicative of Moscow during the time of Yuri Luzhkov. At one point, Luzhkov decided to revive the “dead” plant and ordered the most expensive and modern equipment for the construction of cars to be purchased there. New equipment was installed into falling apart workshop, where it stood mothballed for a certain time. Luzhkov forgot about this project for a while, and when he remembered again, he ordered the reconstruction of the AZLK State Unitary Enterprise “Construction and Operation of Industrial Facilities,” headed by Yuzvik. And he attracted numerous construction companies of his friend Sergei Degtyarev, who has long been working closely with reputable Ingush businessmen, as subcontractors. And the work began to boil. To begin with, the brand new equipment was sold to Degtyarev’s Ingush friends for 20% of its cost, who sent him to their homeland. Why such modern and versatile equipment was needed there, one can only guess. Obviously not for the production of a Nazranych car in Ingushetia. In return, the State Unitary Enterprise bought almost exactly the same equipment with budget money, only of a lower class and not allowing full production of machines (only assembly).

Next, one of the AZLK workshops was turned into a giant dormitory for migrant workers. The fact is that Degtyarev’s Ingush friends are at the same time the largest suppliers of labor for construction projects in the capital. So their entire army of migrant workers settled at the plant. For justice It is worth noting that the other two workshops of Degtyarev’s structure were actually put in order. Yes, and migrant workers Over time, they were moved from the third workshop to other places - somehow they looked ugly there. And the freed the gigantic room turned into the office of Sergei Degtyarev himself. Eyewitnesses say that it looks extremely impressive - a hall the size of a small stadium, and one person sits there. This sight especially enlightens his intractable business partners, whom his Ingush friends bring to Degtyarev’s workshop. All the frames from “The Godfather” against this background simply seem like comic books.

It is clear that when budget money for reconstruction AZLK-Moskvich flowed like a river; they reached the object in the form of small streams. For example, all transactions were carried out through the Moscow Lights bank, which belongs to the daughter of the now former and then current Deputy Mayor of Moscow Yuri Roslyak. Of course, Degtyarev and Yuzvik were not offended either. In addition to good financial gains, they were able to obtain ownership of a huge plot of land on the territory of AZLK, on ​​which they built a 10-story business center.
Bare yourselves generals, you are being filmed by a hidden camera

Basically, this building houses the offices of companies controlled by Degtyarev himself (Slavkapstroy, Slavmosstroy, VVSK, etc.) and controlled by his Ingush partners. However, the highlight of the center is the recreation complex, which occupies almost one and a half floors. It consists of a banquet hall, a modern gym, a luxurious and large swimming pool, a sauna, decorated with rare species of trees, and a giant (one of the largest in Moscow) jacuzzi. There is a separate room for relaxing massages, which is constantly staffed by two professional masseuses. Moreover, the masseuses are real, and not one of “these.” “These” VIP guests can be invited separately at their request; there is a specially trained person in the establishment for such purposes. Only a select few have the right to invite visitors to the sauna, swimming pool, gym and massage rooms. These are authoritative Ingush businessmen. But their parties are"a secret sealed with seven seals." And also Sergey Degtyarev, Alexander Yuzvik and their mutual friend, owner of the VIP magazine, Evgeny Kosov. According to eyewitnesses, a couple of times a week the establishment hosts some general, official or banker. Many of them are famous people, however, out of several dozen VIP guests, eyewitnesses have so far only remembered a few.
So, as the sauna workers say, the most frequent guest there is a man similar to the prefect of the South-Eastern Administrative District of Moscow, Vladimir Zotov, who has held this post for more than 20 years. This official became famous for appearing at all official events with his elderly wife. But in fact, he is divorced from her, and officially married to a girl who is just over 20 years old. Together they are raising twins. The husband gave the “young one” several apartments, a couple of cars, etc. There may be several reasons for its appearance in the sauna. Firstly, AZLK is actually located on the territory of the South-East Administrative District. Secondly, Degtyarev’s structures often receive contracts from this prefecture for reconstruction schools, kindergartens and other socially significant facilities.

We also saw in the sauna a man resembling the former deputy director of the Federal Tax Police Service, ex-member of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, ex-deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vasily Volkovsky. He is an old acquaintance of Degtyarev, thanks to this man the construction magnate has not had any problems for many years with law enforcement organs.

There is also a frequent guest there and a person who resembles Bulgarian citizen Pavel Iliev, a top manager of the Moscow branch of UBI ES Bank (he also worked in the European branch of ING Bank). He helps Sergei reliably hide his income in foreign banks.

Eyewitnesses claim that they saw a man similar to him in the VIP washroom on an ex-employee KGB of the USSR Oleg Erovinkin - now the former head of the secretariat of Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Igor Sechin. He was courted, also for obvious reasons. Degtyarev’s structures are also trying to participate in the construction of oil and gas industry facilities, and are constantly trying to expand their spheres of influence. However, he was extremely dissatisfied with this visit.

According to a source in the mayor's office, one of the VIP visitors (allegedly it could be Erovinkin), a former intelligence officer, was surprised to discover that all the premises of the sauna and halls were equipped with surveillance cameras. Moreover, the filming is clearly not carried out for the safety of clients. The VIP visitor went directly to Sobyanin, to whom he had direct access, and stated that the mayor’s immediate subordinate, Yuzvik, had organized a real brothel at Moskvich. And for some reason, all this is recorded on cameras. After this, Yuzvik’s fate was sealed...
