And there is only one solution: what was stolen by Serdyukov was transferred to Putin’s ally. Investigators received new materials from the case of theft at Oboronservis
The ex-minister's sister, Galina Puzikova, according to the publication, owned three apartments in the center of Moscow in an elite building, in which the main defendant in the Oboronservis case, Evgenia Vasilyeva, also lived. In addition, it included two garages and non-residential premises. All three apartments were four-room. Their area was 220, 203, 175 square meters. m on the second, fourth and fifth floors, respectively. At the same time, one of the apartments is officially registered to a Cypriot company, but in the tax return it is indicated as the property of Puzikova.
According to experts, the cost per square meter of housing in house No. 6 on Molochny Lane is 1.2 million rubles. for 1 sq. meter. Thus, the market value of Puzikova’s apartments could be more than 700 million rubles.
At the same time, the circumstances of the construction of house No. 6 itself also raise questions. “Previously, this was the land of the Ministry of Defense and one of the divisions of the Main Apartment Operations Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation was located there. Several tens of millions of dollars were spent on the reconstruction of the building from the military budget. And then, on this site in Molochny Lane, elite apartments with a swimming pool, sauna and fitness center appeared. center for residents of the house,” said a source in the Investigative Committee.
In addition to these apartments in the capital, Puzikova also owns three more luxury apartments in St. Petersburg. In addition, she owns three cottages and land plots in the Moscow region and the Leningrad region, as well as three Mercedes.
As for Puzikova herself (nee Serdyukova), she is listed in the unified register of entrepreneurs as a specialist in vegetable growing. Now it owns several companies: Autoservice-MM LLC, Techcenter LLC and Mobius LLC, which sell, repair and service cars. All of them, according to Izvestia, are registered in St. Petersburg at an address located next to a furniture store owned by the Mebel-Market company, which in the 1990s. Serdyukov worked.
Puzikova’s husband Valery is also registered as a vegetable grower, but in practice his range of interests is much wider: he sells cars, is involved in cargo transportation, real estate transactions and owns warehouses. Until 2010, he was also the general director of the FSUE St. Petersburg Engineering and Technical Center of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Valery Puzikov is listed as a co-owner of more than a dozen companies, many of which are involved in real estate. His income last year amounted to 81.3 million rubles. He owns 10 apartments in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Anapa, 12 land plots, 5 garages, 4 residential buildings, about 20 real estate properties in the Leningrad region, 18 cars, a boat, 4 motor boats, 2 motorcycles, a snowmobile, 2 tractors and a bulldozer loader.
Let us remind you that the reshuffle in the Ministry of Defense began after the resignation of Anatoly Serdyukov, which occurred on November 6 against the backdrop of a scandal in Oboronservis. One of the defendants in the case is the former head of the Department of Property Relations of the Ministry of Defense, Evgenia Vasilyeva.
Searches at the Oboronservis holding and at Vasilyeva’s house took place at the end of October. More than 3 million rubles, antiques, several dozen paintings, and a large amount of jewelry were confiscated from a former subordinate of Anatoly Serdyukov. In addition, searches took place in the Department of Property Relations of the Ministry of Defense. Department employees were interrogated and documents were confiscated.
Meanwhile, it is possible that the reason for Serdyukov’s resignation could indirectly be his conflict with Sergei Shoigu, RBC daily writes today. Back in June, at a meeting on the transfer of unused Ministry of Defense facilities to the ownership of regions and municipalities, the governor of the Moscow region demanded that the Minister of Defense create military police in towns subordinate to his department. Serdyukov did not like the claims against him, and he, according to sources in the Kremlin, even suggested that Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev fire Shoigu. However, according to the presidential administration, Vladimir Putin did not like such an initiative.
“The dismissal of Serdyukov sent a signal to the elite: the screws are being tightened not only in relation to the opposition, but also in relation to obstinate members of the team. Therefore, the first one who violates the status quo and tries to air the team’s dirty linen in public space will be expelled,” the source said, noting that the president appointed Shoigu to the vacant post of defense minister.

FROM THE STILL - TO THE CAPITAL
Realtors estimate the dacha at 200 - 250 million rubles.
For Puzikov, returning the dacha to the Ministry of Defense is like parting with a pencil,” an investigator from the prosecutor’s office told me, “he has so much real estate that it took us three months to sort it out.” - And he showed me a list of real estate owned by Puzikov. Here's the list...
MILLIONAIRE FROM MOLOCHONY LANE
Valery Puzikov's wife also collects real estate, spending hundreds of millions of rubles on it (this is with an annual income of 240 thousand rubles).
What does she own? Let's look at the documents.
✔ Puzikova Galina Eduardovna purchased residential buildings with an area of 326 square meters. m and 261 sq. m and land plots with an area of 9880 sq. m and 4140 sq. m, located at the address: Moscow region, Krasnogorsky district, village. Voronki, 65, market value of more than 100 million rubles.
✔ Non-residential premises with an area of 83.2 square meters were purchased. m, located at the address: Moscow, Molochny lane, 6. Market value - more than 100 million rubles.
✔ Garages with an area of 16.8 square meters were purchased. m each at the address: Moscow, Molochny lane, 6, with a market value of about 6.5 million rubles each.
✔ Apartments with an area of 220.3 square meters were purchased. m, 175.2 sq. m and 203 sq. m. at the address: Moscow, Molochny lane, 6, apt. 1 (4 rooms), apt. 7 (4 rooms) and apt. 6 (4 rooms), total market value from 700 million to 1 billion rubles (without finishing).
In this now “famous” house No. 6 on Molochny Lane there are not only the apartments of the defendant in the Oboronservis case, Evgenia Vasilyeva. In it, Galina Puzikova bought 3 apartments at once, as well as garages and other non-residential premises. Photo: Evgenia GUSEVA
BY THE WAY
It is in Molochny Lane that the apartment of Evgenia Vasilyeva, a close friend of ex-minister Anatoly Serdyukov, who worked as the head of the property department of the Ministry of Defense, is located.
FROM THE KP DOSSIER
Galina Eduardovna Puzikova (Serdyukova), businessman. 46 years old. She is registered in the Unified Russian Register of Entrepreneurs (like her husband) with a specialization in vegetable growing.
He is listed as the general director or owner of several companies. The Federal Tax Service of Russia has repeatedly acted as the state customer for these companies.
HOW DID THE ELITE HOUSE APPEAR?
The house in Molochny Lane is located on the so-called golden mile; even among the capital's moneybags, apartments there are considered very expensive.
Experts from the Inkom-real estate company say that the cost of 1 sq. m in this house is from 1.2 to 1.5 million rubles. The land on which the house stands previously belonged to the Ministry of Defense - one of the services of the Main Apartment Maintenance Directorate was located there. Then, by Serdyukov’s decision, the building was allegedly put up for “reconstruction”, spending several tens of millions of dollars from the military budget on this. As a result, luxury apartments with a swimming pool, sauna, fitness center and parking spaces for residents of the building appeared on the same site in Molochny Lane. All this also appears in criminal cases today, as well as the origin of millions, the completeness of payment of all taxes, and the legality of the “reconstruction” and conversion of an office building into a residential one.
FAMILY BUSINESS AT THE STATE ACCOUNT?
Over all these stories, teeming with millions and billions of rubles, one main question hovers: how did the defendants get such mountains of money? If the same Puzikov’s declared income for 2011 was a little more than 81 million rubles, and his wife’s was 240 thousand rubles, then how did they manage to buy real estate in the same year for an amount that was approximately 10 times more? Maybe they took out loans? But no, they did not ask for loans at interest from banks and did not receive them (investigators checked everything).
Much more likely are Puzikov’s cunning contracts with his “relative,” who generously paid him, as already mentioned, 10 billion rubles to service 500 cars, although the real cost of the work barely reached 7 billion rubles. Here, according to expert economists, Serdyukov’s son-in-law “saved” about 3 billion rubles for himself. And this is only for one contract. And there were dozens of them! It seems that in this way the successful businessman, not without the knowledge of his high-ranking father-in-law, milked the military budget for his own benefit. It is also impossible to understand another thing: how could Puzikov’s wife, with an annual income from her business, the size of which only allowed her to buy a couple of doors, buy three luxury apartments in one fell swoop for 500 - 700 million rubles? And there are many more questions. It is strange that in all these 10 months, while the investigation into corruption criminal cases of Oboronservis is underway, Puzikov has NEVER (!) been summoned to the Investigative Committee for questioning, at least as a witness. Even when Serdyukov was interrogated about the dacha in Zhitny, where Puzikov acts as its co-owner. Although there were searches in the places where he worked. Even a simpleton understands that during these 10 months Puzikov did not sit idly by, but was probably tying up loose ends. Which, of course, will now seriously complicate the investigation of criminal cases.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Mikhail Timoshenko, military expert:
The shark cannot stop, otherwise it will die. So does Puzikov. Why is the list of real estate owned by him and his relatives interesting? Here, as we see, there is everything: residential buildings, apartments on the Moscow “golden mile” and God knows how non-residential premises purchased in St. Petersburg cultural heritage sites, warehouses, plots of St. Petersburg and Krasnodar land on the Azov coast for future development, farms and dachas, shops . There is even a street toilet. Well, there was no way the son-in-law of a respected man, a minister, could pass by an ownerless outhouse: such a breed! He swept everything, just like a vacuum cleaner. Rowing and registered for himself and his relatives. And no one cares whether relatives have that kind of money. But the total value of the property, according to the most rough estimates, exceeds 5 billion rubles. There is already pride in the standard of living of “ordinary” Russians...
13/11/2012
Anatoly Serdyukov’s sister Galina Puzikova found herself embroiled in a scandal growing around the ex-minister. She, as it turned out, is a very rich woman. But very little is known about her herself.
IN Moreover, journalists always collect information about Serdyukov’s immediate circle bit by bit. For example, there is only one Julia on the network, but much is known about her fate. Things are even worse with Galina Eduardovna Puzikova - despite the fact that she, like her husband Valery Nikolaevich Puzikov, does a lot of business, you can’t even find their photos on the Internet, not to mention their biography.
It is known that Galina Puzikova is 46 years old, she is four years younger than Anatoly Eduardovich. Both of them were born in the village of Kholmskaya, Abinsk district, Krasnodar region. The father of the family was a lumberjack in the forestry, and the mother worked on a collective farm. In those years, lumberjacks earned good money, so most likely the family lived well. When Galina was six years old, the Serdyukovs moved to the neighboring Seversky district and settled in the village of Chernomorsky. Older brother Anatoly graduated from eight-year school and began working as a driver in one of the trading enterprises, which gave him a referral to college after receiving a certificate at evening school.
This is where the scant information about the sister of the former Minister of Defense ends. There is no information about where she studied or how she started her career. Galina “pops up” much later, already in adulthood. Probably, following her brother, she moved to St. Petersburg, where she began to work. Anatoly was then working in a furniture store in St. Petersburg.
Information about her business is contradictory. According to one source, Galina Eduardovna is registered in the Unified Russian Register of Entrepreneurs with a specialization in vegetable growing. According to others, she is listed as the general director of Mobius LLC, an organization whose address coincides with the company Furniture Market Store No. 11 LLC, where Serdyukov’s first wife worked, and Cleanline LLC, which belongs to Puzikova. The clients of the latter organization were allegedly the Federal Tax Service of Russia, the Ministry of Defense and Rosfinmonitoring, to which the company provided services for cleaning premises and maintaining utility networks. In addition, in St. Petersburg, Puzikova owns Autoservice-MM LLC and Techcenter LLC.
In 2011, Puzikova declared an income of 240 thousand rubles. At the same time, she owns three apartments in Molochny Lane in Moscow, two garages and non-residential premises, the total value of which exceeds 700 million rubles. The area of her housing is 220, 203, 175 square meters. m, on the second, fourth and fifth floors of an elite building. Moreover, one of the apartments is registered to the Cypriot company Zapadni Enterprises Limited, and is indicated in the tax return as the property of Puzikova. In addition, Galina has three apartments in St. Petersburg and expensive foreign cars.
Galina's husband, Valery Nikolaevich Puzikov, is also a very modest person - almost nothing is known about him. Moreover, he is much richer than his wife - for 2011 he declared an income of 81.3 million rubles. Valery, according to Rosbalt, owns ten apartments in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Anapa, 12 land plots, five garages, four residential buildings, 20 real estate properties in the Leningrad region, as well as 18 vehicles for all occasions - foreign cars, Soviet " Volgas, motorcycles. Boats and even two tractors.
The press writes that through Investproekt LLC, of which he is the owner, the businessman owns shares in Bank St. Petersburg and Strelets-2 LLC, owned by Sergei Matvienko. In addition, he owns Autocenter-Soyuz 021 LLC in the Nevsky district of St. Petersburg, as well as partially the car dealerships of Axel City LLC, Axel Motors North LLC and Axel Group LLC.
Like his wife, he has extensive experience working with government contracts - Gamma-Service LLC was founded by Valery Puzikov in 2006-2007. received government contracts from the St. Petersburg Federal Tax Service for a total amount of more than 11 million rubles - for the rental of non-residential premises, reports rospres.com.
When Anatoly Serdyukov moved to Moscow and left the Federal Tax Service, his sister’s husband was appointed acting and then general director of the organization formerly known as the Federal State Unitary Enterprise St. Petersburg Engineering and Technical Center of the Federal Tax Service. Subsequently, the enterprise was reassigned to the Ministry of Defense and became known as the FSUE St. Petersburg Engineering and Technical Center of the Russian Ministry of Defense. Puzikov served as director until 2010, after which he went into pure business. By the way, under his leadership the organization was included in the “Federal Register of Bona Fide Suppliers” .
Sister of Anatoly Serdyukov, entrepreneur
Puzikova, Galina Eduardovna
Biography
The ex-minister's sister Galina Puzikova owned three apartments (as of December 2011), two garages and non-residential premises in the house on Molochny Lane, where Serdyukov's mistress Evgenia Vasilyeva also lived. The total value of real estate exceeds 700 million rubles. At the same time, the official income for 2011 of the sister of ex-Minister of Defense Serdyukov was only 240 thousand rubles.
“Previously, this was the land of the Ministry of Defense and one of the divisions of the department’s main housing and maintenance department was located there. Several tens of millions of dollars were spent on the reconstruction of the building from the military budget. And then luxury apartments with a swimming pool, sauna and fitness center appeared on this site in Molochny Lane for the residents of the house,” said a source in the Investigative Committee of Russia. According to real estate market experts, the market value of Puzikova’s apartments alone ranges from 500 to 700 million rubles.
Galina Eduardovna Puzikova owns 10 apartments in both capitals, as well as in the city of Anapa. She also has 12 plots of land, four residential buildings and five garages. In addition, there are 18 rare and modern cars.
Puzikova is married to the former head of the St. Petersburg Engineering and Technical Center of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The ex-minister's sister is officially registered as an entrepreneur engaged in vegetable growing, but she owns several St. Petersburg companies selling, repairing and servicing cars.
As part of the scandalous Oboronservis case, investigators began checking the circumstances and legality of the purchase of luxury real estate in the center of Moscow by the ex-head of the Department of Property Relations of the Ministry of Defense Evgenia Vasilyeva and relatives of the now former Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov, Izvestia writes.
Serdyukov’s sister Galina Puzikova owned three apartments (as of December 2011), two garages and non-residential premises, the total value of which exceeds 700 million rubles, in the house on Molochny Lane, where Vasilyeva also lived. At the same time, the official income for 2011 of the sister of the ex-Minister of Defense was only 240 thousand rubles.
Investigators will have to check transactions on four apartments (one belongs to Vasilyeva, three to Puzikova), two garages and non-residential premises in house number 6 in Molochny Lane, which is located in the area of the so-called golden mile - between Ostozhenka and Prechistenka.
“Previously, this was the land of the Ministry of Defense; one of the divisions of the Main Housing and Operations Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense was located there. Several tens of millions of dollars were spent from the military budget on the reconstruction of the building, says a source in the Investigative Committee. “And then luxury apartments with a swimming pool, sauna and fitness center for the residents of the house appeared on this site in Molochny Lane.”
We are talking about four-room apartments No. 1, No. 6, No. 7 with an area of 220, 203, 175 sq. m. m on the second, fourth and fifth floors, respectively, the owner of which is Serdyukov’s sister Galina Puzikova.
At the same time, apartment No. 7 is officially registered to the Cyprus company Zapadni Enterprises Limited, and in the tax return the same apartment is indicated as the property of Puzikova. Another five-room apartment, No. 4, with an area of 192 sq. m. m, on the third floor - belongs to the former head of the property relations department Evgenia Vasilyeva. All of these apartments were searched at the end of October as part of a case of fraud with the assets of the Ministry of Defense through the Oboronservice company.
According to Alexander Ziminsky, director of the sales department of the Penny Lane Realty agency, in house No. 6 on Molochny Lane the cost of housing is 23-26 thousand dollars per 1 sq. m. m. This is the average cost of apartments on the market; in fact, it may be slightly higher or lower depending on the quality of the renovation of these apartments. Thus, the market value of Puzikova’s apartments alone is more than 500 million rubles (large - 165-171 million rubles, medium - 157-164 million rubles, small - about 145 million rubles).
The Inkom-Real Estate company believes that the price of housing is even higher: the average cost of 1 sq. m. m in the house is 1.2 million rubles, and the total cost of Puzikova’s apartments exceeds 700 million rubles.
In this regard, investigators intend to check all the circumstances of the purchase of luxury real estate by Evgenia Vasilyeva and Serdyukov’s relatives. First of all, investigators will find out the legality of the origin of millions, as well as the completeness of payment of all taxes, Izvestia writes.
Serdyukov’s sister Galina Puzikova (Serdyukova) is registered in the Unified Russian Register of Entrepreneurs with a specialization in Vegetable Growing. Puzikova registered with the tax authorities in this capacity recently, in 2010. Now, according to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, she owns several companies founded in the early 2000s and still operating today: Autoservice-MM LLC, Techcenter LLC, Mobius LLC.
All of them are connected with the auto business: sales, repair and maintenance of cars - and are registered in St. Petersburg, on Cheliev Lane, right next door to a large furniture store that was part of the already liquidated OJSC "Furniture-Market". It was in this OJSC that ex-Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov built his career in the 1990s, who rose to the post of general director of the company.
In 2011, Puzikova declared an income of 240 thousand rubles. In addition to real estate in Molochny Lane, her assets include three more luxury apartments in St. Petersburg, three cottages and land plots in the Moscow region and the Leningrad region, as well as three Mercedes cars.
Galina Puzikova’s husband, Valery, is also listed as a vegetable grower in the list of specializations in the register of entrepreneurs, but his range of interests goes far beyond agriculture: it also includes car trading, cargo transportation, real estate transactions, and warehouse activities. The range of companies in which Valery Puzikov participates is also wider: he is a co-owner of more than a dozen companies, many of which are involved in real estate.
