Over the past few years, the name of the governor of the Oryol region, Vadim Potomsky, no, no, yes, and it pops up in some kind of criminal context. Either he evasively answers the direct question of TV and radio host Vladimir Solovyov: “Are you a bandit?”, then he appears in the company of individuals with a criminal past, then he invites citizens to work for him, who are then sent to prison.
Gennady Zyuganov's comrade-in-arms is actually very afraid of going to prison. Knows the details. The fact is that his friends knowingly introduced him to the peculiarities of life and life behind bars, which Vadim Potomsky personally told the correspondent of the Rosbalt agency at one time. Here is what a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation said about the stories of his acquaintances and about places not so remote:
“I have not been to prison. But, as they say, do not renounce the bag and the prison. I am 40 years old, and I can’t say that I have a lot, but I have friends who have been in places of deprivation of liberty. What they say is horrendous." As for the bag and the prison, the governor said quite rightly ...
Friends criminals
Now Vadim Potomsky is almost 45, but he still does not want to go to prison, although he does not forget his criminal friends. As soon as he appeared in Orel, he was photographed against the backdrop of the regional administration building with Sergei Antoshin, his close Bryansk colleague. Here is what one of the federal publications wrote about him in 2003: “34-year-old Antoshin worked for the FSB for a long time, then became the personal bodyguard of Governor Yuri Lodkin.
In January 2000, the governor appointed Antoshin the head of the information and analytical department of the regional administration. A criminal case against an official of the FSB of the Bryansk region was opened in November 2001. Chekist Antoshin, leaving the office of his friend, the "alcohol king" Oleg Rozanov, noticed the FSB outside at the gate. And then he handed over his colleagues to a businessman. And then the friends quarreled, Rozanov wrote a statement to law enforcement agencies against Antoshin, and the FSB officers submitted to the court the wiretapping records of two former comrades, where the fact of disclosure of state secrets and betrayal was recorded. And Antoshin received four years in prison. True, he served only 13 months and is now a communist and a deputy of the Bryansk Regional Council.
Unlike United Russia, for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, a criminal past is not an obstacle to nomination for deputies. The current governor of the Oryol region, Vadim Potomsky, considers him one of the citizens "whose names and surnames I can name with honor and dignity." And as for criminality, so, a trifle ... “This is Antoshin Sergey Sergeevich,” Potomsky told reporters, “the man who was near me in this Bryansk campaign. A man of honor, not a coward. Yes, there were all kinds of stories, but that's life." For Vadim Potomsky, who likes to talk about officer honor, is the betrayal of comrades in the service a normal part of life?
Again about Yorsha
Other "all sorts of stories" unexpectedly surfaced when Vadim Potomsky invited Andrey Yersh, his classmate at the anti-aircraft missile school and, as it turned out later, the leader, to work as the head of the state institution of the Oryol region "Orelgoszakazchik". This institution is one of the most corrupt in the region.
Only on the line "Road Fund" planned to "master" 3 billion rubles. He failed - in the fall of 2014, operatives detained him right in his office and transferred him to the North. Announced at the end of January 2017 by the verdict of the Arkhangelsk Regional Court, Andrey Yorsh, who led an organized criminal group of current and former employees of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Arkhangelsk Region, was found guilty of "covering" underground gaming clubs and mediation in giving a bribe. The former police lieutenant colonel received a serious term - 9.5 years of strict regime.
And Governor Potomsky only complained: “Unfortunately, I will tell you objectively and honestly: I did not know about this story. If I had known about this story, Andrei would not have worked here ... This is my cadet, we studied together from the first year, when we were 16 years old, I was a foreman of the battery, he was a cadet of the second platoon ... He came to me. I invited him to work, no one imposed him on me ... Everyone who works for me in the government of the Oryol region was personally invited by me. Especially the level of deputies. Andrei worked in the police, in police structures, in the Economic Crime Department. in economic areas.
For reasons that the organization in which he worked, Oryolgoszakazchik, passes through it a colossal amount of budget money, I invited him as a specialist so that all these various left-wing options would not go anywhere. A story surfaced that... He didn't tell me. If he had called her to me, he said: “Sergeant, that’s what they called me, Vadim, there is such a story, such a skeleton in the closet, I would not take him to work.”
In fact, the argumentation of Vadim Potomsky in this case is designed for very gullible people. After all, this is far from the only personnel miscalculation of the governor of the Oryol region.
Mikhail Sokolovsky
Well, the most notable criminal associate of Vadim Potomsky, the person whom he repeatedly publicly called “his friend”, with whom he traveled to the Patriarch of Serbia and filmed for TV at the Russian-Slovenian business forum, was Mikhail Ivanovich Sokolovsky. This is the same citizen who, at a meeting of the Oryol City Council, spoke about the monument to Ivan the Terrible, which costs 25 million rubles to erect. Recall that the money "for the monument" was collected, but, according to Vadim Potomsky, it cost several times less. Where did the difference in 20 million go? This could be answered by Sokolovsky, a man with three convictions, including for.
It all started in 2005, when Mikhail Ivanovich was the vice-governor of Koryakia. Then the court of the Tigilsky district of the Koryak Autonomous Okrug sentenced him to one and a half years in prison - for disrupting the heating season with abuse of office and the disappearance of money paid to a certain company for fuel. In May 2005, it turned out that Sokolovsky had previously worked for the recipient company. On July 21, 2005, the court sentenced him to three years in prison. And then a third conviction followed: in 2005, the Dorogomilovsky District Court of Moscow, Mikhail Sokolovsky, Potomsky's future friend, was sentenced to five years and eight months in prison in a strict regime colony for fraud on an especially large scale.
Where did the communist Potomsky get such a craving for criminal personalities? After all, there was also a certain Vladimir Makarchuk, who in 2014 was invited by Governor Potomsky to lead the regional state property department. But then it turned out that he was a fraudster with a fresh conviction and a fine of half a million rubles. Then, after the scandal with the sealing of the office, Vice-Governor Mikhail Babkin, who was in charge of the economic bloc, quickly fled the region.
“Tell me who your friend is, and I will tell you who you are,” the proverb says. At the very beginning of the article, we noted that Gennady Zyuganov's henchman, Potomsky, really does not want to go to jail. And he does not want to forcibly leave the governor's seat. And he even protested against the fact that the question of trust or distrust is raised by the president, and not by the abstract "people."
In an interview posted on the website of the Leningrad regional branch of the Communist Party, he asked: “What should the governor do to lose confidence? And if the people elected him, then why does the President make the decision to lose confidence?” That's why he accepts, citizen Potomsky.
BUT latest news from Orel, they are completely amazing, the person involved in a high-profile criminal case, the general director of the Orel Agency for Housing Mortgage Lending (AHML), 97.4% of whose shares are the property of the region, Sergey Kochergin, was also hired with a criminal record. The defendant openly stated that he came to this position at the invitation of the governor of the Oryol region.
In order not to be unfounded, we will cite a specific segment from the decision of the Oryol Regional Court dated November 9, 2016: “By a court verdict, Kochergin S.A. found guilty of committing a crime, under subsection. «in» h. 2 Article. 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Assignment or embezzlement, that is, theft of another's property entrusted to the guilty, committed using one's official position”), with the imposition of a sentence of imprisonment for a period of 3 years suspended with a probationary period of 3 years.
As it turned out later, Mr. Kochergin had also previously been convicted in Orel, and the governor of the region simply could not have been unaware of this. We note this in case the official again insists that "I am not me and the house is not mine." After all, all sorts of negative information about the governor pops up every week. And there is no need to carry out a journalistic investigation in order to find out about all the pitfalls of the governor of the Oryol region. Only, after all, someone appointed the director of Sergei Kochergin. In addition, all companies that have ever been associated with the "director" won all tenders and received the most tidbits. Is it because, as it turned out later, Kochergin, previously convicted of embezzlement, liked Potomsky because of his ability to properly distribute financial flows?
But if Sergei Kochergin was previously convicted under Article 160 Part 2, now, as they say, he has upgraded and now he is charged with at least parts 3 and 4 of the same article. It turns out that the staff selected by the governor does not stop there. And in general, the Oryol region is a whole organism in which the distribution of budgetary funds takes place every day. The money is transferred to the regional leaders, according to the protocol of interrogation of the director of the Municipal Unitary Enterprise Ritual and ritual services of the city of Orel, Ekaterina Sagittarius, in bundles or bags with alcohol.
But with the advent of the team called by Mr. Potomsky, more modern technologies. The same Mrs. Strelets noted in her testimony: “Sometimes we transferred the funds received from entrepreneurs to Mukhanov O.V. (trustee of the governor) by bank transfer. As far as I remember, part of the money was transferred ... to the card of Mukhanov's wife O.V. - Svetlana.
But Sergei Kochergin, apparently, was very angry with his “head” and at the same court session told reporters that Vadim Potomsky and the head of the Department were the ones who ordered the criminal prosecution against him state property and land relations Andrey Sinyagov. In addition, the defendant said that he provided the investigators with a number of evidence about the criminal activities of the government of the Oryol region. The strange thing is that there was no response from Vadim Potomsky. Perhaps the governor does not want to once again confirm his attitude to this criminal case.
And in fact, the same evidence began to slowly creep across the region. We are talking about printouts of withdrawals from a certain Sberbank Visa Classic card, as it turned out later, representatives of the investigation actually have this documentation. Yury Lebedkin, editor-in-chief of the Oryol newspaper Krasnaya stroka, notes: “As far as I have heard,” Yuri Viktorovich said, “these printouts are indeed at the disposal of law enforcement agencies. A plastic card was issued to Sergey Kochergin's business partner Mikhail Timakov. When Kochergin headed AHML in Orel, Timakov became the general director of a well-known company - a counterpart of ASK Engineering. How the card issued to him got (and did it?) get to the trusted people of the governor, I can’t say: it’s up to the investigation to find out. And who personally paid with the card, for example, at the National in Moscow, I also do not know. But they say that the investigation already has a photo of one character ... "
We only add that the first one and a half million rubles to the Timakovo account, a copy of which is at the disposal of the editorial office, were received in August 2015. Coincidentally, it was at that time that Sergei Kochergin began to “settle down” in AHML. The next three million are credited in October and November. They withdrew money on different days and in different amounts from 100 to 147,479 rubles. In my opinion, this is usually done by those who received the amounts "dishonestly", thinking that they cover their tracks ...
There is nothing to hide here, each subordinate of Vadim Potomsky has his own function, to follow this or that cash flow and increase income accordingly. Big money was spinning in AHML, Sergey Kochergin was given the opportunity to attract “friendly” structures to him to carry out profitable contracts. If now the defendant had correctly used the resources, the administration of the region would have become much richer, and this, of course, Vadim Potomsky understood. For example, the governor called members of the Izborsk club to the region. To bring them, perhaps, to pay per diem, to accommodate, to drink - to feed - it's not cheap at all.
On January 16, 2016, Sergey Kochergin, as a social burden, suddenly became the chairman of the Oryol regional branch of the Izborsk club. And it seems that he paid for everything that was connected with its functioning. It can be assumed that not only from personal funds ... For example, almost a year ago a theatrical performance was released on the regional TV channel, this action took place in the office of Mr. Potomsky:
Vadim Potomsky: "Is Sergey Anatolyevich working normally?" Alexander Prokhanov: "Brilliant work!" Vadim Potomsky: "He is a business man." Alexander Prokhanov: “Brilliant, simply brilliant, Sergey Anatolyevich works!”
But the story of Vadim Potomsky does not end there either. On July 28, 2016, Kochergin, together with Potomsky, met with Patriarch Kirill! But a month later, the holy spirit disappeared, a criminal case was initiated against Sergei Kochergin, then he was charged and taken into custody. So spent on the reception public figures money, it seems, went sideways to Mr. Kochergin, and the Oryol branch of the club practically ceased to exist with his arrest. The question remains, why did Vadim Potomsky do this with his ward, a professional in the field of fraud. You have lost a valuable shot, Vadim Vladimirovich, for your team! Only now it is obvious that Mr. Kochergin opened a rather strong wound. Sooner or later, employees of the Prosecutor General's Office will pay attention to account statements.
At this place there was an article under the heading "Gold dissuaded Summa, or Why the forecast of the Kompromat-Ural editorial board regarding Ziya (v) udin Magomedov comes true." The text of the article dated 04/04/2018 consisted of five paragraphs. Only one of them mentioned Mikhail Kiyko. Mikhail Yuryevich is now the former general director of JSC United Grain Company (OZK). Kiyko stayed in this position for barely a year and a half, and was fired in November 2018. OZK JSC is half owned by a businessman Ziyavudin Magomedov.
The mention in the above-mentioned article of the "relationship of financial dependence" between Magomedov and Kiyko caused displeasure of the latter. Mr. Kiyko's application to remove 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 far-fetched, in our opinion, claim.
On January 9, 2019, the decision came into force. Following the letter of the law, the editors of Kompromat-Ural removed the text within the prescribed period. Nevertheless, we will continue to appeal against the illegal and absurd, in our opinion, judicial act and we thank all readers who assist in this.
In addition, in response to the strange trial, Kiyko has already received a new portion of fame from investigative journalists.
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 State Duma RF 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 Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, YaNAO and the Tyumen Region).
The scandals around Brykin are caused by the fact that the Ugra businessman from the “list Titov» Konstantin Dyulgerov, forced to flee Russia from the pressure of 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 up-to-date 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, as the editors of Kompromat-Ural found out, before being nominated to the State Duma, re-registered multimillion-dollar development assets for Black Sea coast on your daughter Valentin Kiryanov(in 2016, Breeze LLC, rewritten to it, had property worth almost half a billion rubles on its balance sheet!). Brykin went to the deputies already 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 Office of the Prosecutor General for Supervision of the Implementation of Anti-Corruption Legislation). We turned to Yuri Seagull on the issue of verifying the reliability of declaration information about the personal wealth of Mr. Brykin. Does the people's servant live within his means, who in the shortest possible time after his dismissal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs turned into a dollar millionaire, and then also 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 dangles at the bottom of the deputy rating: “in 2017, his income amounted to“ only ”4.8 million rubles. Less than the rest, but do not rush to conclusions. He owns two huge plots of land, a couple of spacious country houses and a modest apartment of 76 squares. His wife has a bigger apartment: 116 square meters. It also recorded four residential country houses and two land plots. And all their family vehicles are registered to Brykin's wife - Toyota Land Cruiser, Shore Land SRV31B trailer and Sea Ray 185S boat. How the lady managed to buy it all herself, earning 2.9 million a year, one can only guess.
Yury Chaika's assistant told the Kompromat-Ural editors that "the powers to conduct appropriate checks on 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 the answer of Valery Volkov, the appeal about Brykin was sent to the lower house. The editors of Kompromat-Ural will follow the answers of the apparatus of the speaker of the State Duma Viacheslav Volodin and profile committee. In mid-April, Mrs. Poklonskaya confirmed to reporters that Brykin was indeed one of the five defendants in the anti-corruption checks conducted by the commission she leads. By the way, in this list, Brykin is next to the “pubic” deputy from the Liberal Democratic Party, the hero of immoral sex scandals Leonid Slutsky.

Khabarov Mikhail Valentinovich , who has a reputation in the media as one of the most famous corporate raiders, uses "criminal" tricks in the state bank "Trust" as chief executive officer.
Khabarov Mikhail Valentinovich (born March 12, 1971, Zlatoust, Chelyabinsk region, RSFSR, USSR) - First Deputy Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer of the Bank of non-core assets "Trust" (since May 2019); former president of A1 company (2010-2014) - an aggressive player in the market of hostile mergers and acquisitions; former deputy director of the financial and industrial group Magnitogorsk Steel (1996-1998), who participated in the raider attack on the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (OJSC MMK, now PJSC MMK).
The appointment of Khabarov to a responsible position in the state bank, created to improve the financial sector, is assessed by some experts as a personnel decision that undermines trust in Trust and compromises its leaders and shareholder (the Central Bank of the Russian Federation). The opinion was expressed that in the position of chief executive officer of Trust, Khabarov acts by raider methods for reasons of personal gain, which could lead to a deterioration in the situation in the financial sector and the economy as a whole. This assumption, according to some judgments, is confirmed in the scandals surrounding the activities of the bank of non-core assets, as well as in the accusations of Khabarov in the media in December 2019 of using justice for personal gain (in conflict with the Delovye Linii Group of Companies).
Almost nothing is known about Mikhail Khabarov's childhood. He was born into a family of hereditary metallurgists, but "not impressed by the material life of his parents" abandoned the idea of continuing a professional dynasty. At the insistence of his parents, he entered the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys. In 1993 he received a diploma of a specialist in “automation of metallurgical production”, but he never worked in a real production.
Data on further education and the initial stage of the labor biography differ, which forces experts to doubt their reliability. According to Khabarov, in 1993-1994 he began his career as a window cleaner and ice cream seller. He also claims that in 1994 he graduated from the Higher Commercial School under the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations of the Russian Federation. There is no confirmation of this, and according to official data, during this period he worked in the Ministry of Metallurgy.
In 1994, "from the street" got a job as a manager for metallurgy at Inkombank, where his career began, full of stories raider seizures and the collapse of strategically important enterprises for the country's economy.
In 2001, he received an MBA from Pepperdine University in the United States, where, as follows from reports in public sources, he temporarily lived, hiding from possible criminal prosecution in connection with his participation in an attempted raider takeover of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works.
"Orthodoxy of the brain" (PGM, the definition of a publicist Alexandra Nevzorova) is such a serious illness that it can force its carrier to commit savagery, unthinkable for a civilized society. Even quite respectable characters, if they fall ill with PGM, behave in a completely different way, as befits the billionaires from the rating Forbes . In the past year, the Yekaterinburg oligarchs were marked by fierce "Orthodoxy" Andrey Kozitsyn(UMMC) and, especially, Igor Altushkin(RMK). Passion of the middle - admiring half-naked men, he calls them "fighters".
The symptoms of PGM at a certain stage went so far that even experts respecting the Ural moneybags twisted their fingers at their temples: did the copper “acrobatic brothers” completely lose their scent, believing in the omnipotence of the three letters (ROC)? I was forced to personally intervene in the scandal that quickly reached the federal level, connected with mass protests in Yekaterinburg against the Altushkin-Kozitsyn Temple-on-the-Water Vladimir Putin. And then, as the editors of Kompromat-Ural recall, the “celestials” had to admit that Ekaterinburg would not accept the cult church giant, and the “believing” nouveau riches were fighting with most of the metropolis.
“In fact, the events in the square showed that private militant groups operate in Yekaterinburg, whose fighters are inviolable from the point of view of the law,” investigative journalists came to this conclusion. In connection with the protests in Yekaterinburg, the "law enforcement" agencies were not up to par. The security forces once again confirmed that they use their powers selectively, not in accordance with the law and the interests of public security, but for the sake of certain groups that have political and financial influence (there is no doubt that Altushkin has such influence). have to). Today for touching a policeman's helmet or for an empty plastic bottle, who fell on the National Guard, people are given real sentences. And the Altushkinites, who staged mass massacres in the city center and even (in front of the personnel!) socked the head of the security department public order Police of Yekaterinburg Alexander Kashigin, - nothing!
"From the filing Radia Khabirova a judge of the Constitutional Court of Bashkiria became a man who in the past could illegally assist the current first deputy prime minister of the republic Andrey Nazarov and his business.
In Ufa, former chairman of the Kirovsky District Court Munir Valeev became a member of the Constitutional Court of Bashkiria.
Earlier, his candidacy was submitted for consideration for this post by the Governor of Bashkortostan, Radiy Khabirov. And even earlier, in 2012, Munir Valeev was deprived of the status of a judge. Formally - for disciplinary violations. But in reality, according to rumors, for custom-made decisions in favor of the powers that be.
More precisely, allegedly Valeev was very favorable to the work in the region of his current head, Radiy Khabirov. As well as the current First Deputy Prime Minister of the government of the region Andrey Nazarov and the business where he was previously the owner - the Granel Group of Companies.
Allegedly, it was Nazarov who became the main lobbyist for the return of Valeev to the highest judicial league in the region, mindful of his past services to his companies.
And Munir Valeev is known for the fact that in July 2012 he delivered a verdict of not guilty to the former prime minister of the government of Bashkiria Rail Sarbaev. Togo was accused of embezzling 1.6 million rubles from the budget. Today, with the light hand of Khabirov and Nazarov, he leads the Development Corporation of the Republic of Bashkortostan.
Khabirov and Nazarov definitely need people like Valeev. Moreover, for many years Valeev sought to obtain the mantle of a judge of the constitutional court, and he was able to do this, apparently, only after the intervention of the head of Bashkortostan.
However, he did not sit idle without a mantle: under the wing of the Khabirov-Nazarov group, the deputy head of the State Budgetary Institution "State Cadastral Valuation and Technical Inventory" worked peacefully. We understand that it’s not enough for a high-flying judge!
It is Nazarov who should be especially pleased with the return of Valeev: they say that his Granel kept afloat in the 2000s, not least thanks to his people in the law enforcement and the judicial system. Like Valeev?
Rumor has it that even without being in the status of a judge, Valeev in 2018 was able to influence the decision of the Sibay City Court in the case of Nazarov against the Internet. They admitted unreliable information about Nazarov's past, which was somewhat at odds with the official version of his biography.
In particular, about buying a diploma and raping a minor. At the same time, the judge Kutulbaev allegedly referred to an earlier decision of the Kirov court. Signed by the same Munir Valeev...
There is a rapid recovery in the banking market. dismissed from the Central Bank Vasily Pozdyshev, which the last years was a deputy Elvira Nabiullina. It is transferred to the Banking Sector Consolidation Fund (FCBS). “Since Pozdyshev does not receive the post of general director, who has real power in the FKBS, but the nominal position of chairman of the board of directors, this sinecure is a significant career downgrade,” the head of the analytical department of the BKF emphasized in an interview with reporters Maksim Osadchy. He considers it a "soft resignation".
An informed and competent expert links the high-profile resignation to some events in the banking sector. “In April, the head of the banking department of the K department of the FSB, Colonel Kirill Cherkalin and two of his colleagues - FSB colonels Frolov And Vasiliev. Shortly thereafter, in June 2019, the Director of the Department of Financial Monitoring and Currency Control of the Central Bank resigned. Yuri Polupanov. Then the deputy head of the DIA fled from Russia Valery Miroshnikov. And now Pozdyshev is retiring. Maybe they are links in the same chain.
According to the stated version, which is shared by other interlocutors of the editorial board of Kompromat-Ural, Pozdyshev’s problems will not end with one dismissal from the Central Bank, now the attention of specialized law enforcement.
Nine-month governor of the Orenburg region, longtime businessman Denis Pasler is being mastered in new "possessions", readers of the Kompromat-Ural project report. In 2016, Pasler was practically written off from the civil service when he was forced to vacate the chair of the chairman of the government of the Sverdlovsk region (and even the urgent arrival of Pasler's patron in Yekaterinburg Viktor Vekselberg to meet with the governor Evgeny Kuyvashev did not save Pasler from resignation). Vekselberg did not abandon his pet and Pasler received quite a warming chair for himself as the head of PJSC T-Plus, until in 2019 he returned to the civil service in the status of acting. Governor of the Orenburg region
More than a quarter of the population of this border region lives in the regional center - Orenburg. To govern without having your own mayor on the board, you see, is not right. Therefore, for the role of the mayor of the regional capital, Denis Pasler is carrying a businessman from Yekaterinburg Volodya Ilinykh, about which journalists were informed of new juicy details for further publications.
Judging by reports from open sources studied by the editors of Kompromat-Ural, the “paslerization” of the Orenburg region is not limited to mayoral castling. NIKA-Petrotek, a company loyal to Pasler, from the Sverdlovsk region, is accused of financing a non-systemic opposition and provoking a “mass” protest against the authorities of the region, from which Pasler was expelled in 2016. “Now the opposition network, which is maintained by NIKA-Petrotech, is increasingly attacking the governor of the Sverdlovsk region Kuyvashev. At the same time, the company itself demonstrates its loyalty to the governor of the Orenburg region, Pasler, with all its might.
Such selectivity has a quite obvious explanation: NIKA-Petrotech creates its own production in the Orenburg region, and their main competitors work in Sverdlovsk. In addition, it is known that Pasler, to put it mildly, does not like Kuivashev: he fired him from the post of chairman of the government of the Sverdlovsk region. By financing Kuyvashev's pissing, NIKA-Petrotek wants to please Pasler and enlist his support. On the other hand, it is known that NIKA really needs Pasler's support for the implementation of its Orenburg proppant project. Financing the protests in the Sverdlovsk region may be associated with an attempt to show loyalty to Pasler precisely with the expectation of this investment project.
But the most interesting thing is who are these people, the brave owners of the company, who are not afraid to sponsor anti-presidential forces in the regions? There are two key owners of NIKI-Petrotech. Yekaterinburg developer Alexey Balashov and his father-in-law Valery Abramov, former security director of UMMC-Holding, once one of the many hands of the "copper king" Andrey Kozitsyn. By investing money in funding the opposition, they are taking a very big risk,” famous people noted not so long ago. Telegram channels.
According to the editors of Kompromat-Ural, in conflicts and intrigues, the newly-minted head of the Orenburg region can overstrain. Now going to the federal level new scandal- on the topic of how motivated Orenburg security forces and people from Pasler's entourage "hushed up" the investigation of a corruption conspiracy in concluding state contracts for 15 billion rubles for healthcare institutions.
Early February marks four months since the President of Russia dismissed Vadim Potomsky, Governor of the Oryol Region. more than once turned to the activities of this gentleman and his entourage. He also wrote about how corruption schemes and outright theft flourished during his reign. The most financially interesting municipal enterprises were transferred from city ownership to regional ownership, and then “milked out” with the help of citizens close to the Potomsky family, who, at the suggestion of the governor, were appointed their leaders. Today's post focuses on only two of the similar structures- JSC "Orelgorteploenergo" and State Unitary Enterprise OO "Road Service". Hundreds of millions of rubles were withdrawn from them in various ways. Today we cannot reveal all the secrets of the ongoing Investigation Department Investigative Committee Russia in the Oryol region and call by name the final beneficiaries or, as the former governor used to say, “interested parties”, but we will still open the veil over the main corruption schemes ... GOVERNOR'S UNCLE AND AUNT AND THEIR DIRECTOR On December 11, 2017, the Investigative Committee of the ICR for the Orel Region opened a criminal case against the former CEO JSC "Orelgorteploenergo" Vladimir Dorofeev, suspected of committing a crime under Part 2 of Art. 201 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. On January 18, he was detained, then arrested, and on January 22, the Investigative Committee of the ICR reported that an additional episode of his criminal activity was revealed, qualified by the investigation under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. What does Vadim Potomsky and his family have to do with it, you ask? Local journalists who wrote about Vladimir Dorofeev somehow missed the fact that he had known Vadim Potomsky and his close relatives for many years. Moreover, he even worked at their family business as a general manager. In the patrimony of Potomsky, Vsevolozhsk, the ex-governor and his family created two LLCs with similar names: "Vsevolozhskspetstrans" and "VsevolozhskSpetsTrans". One began operating in 2001, the other in 2009. In the first of them, 90% belongs to Potomsky's aunt, and the founders of the second are the same aunt and her husband, the brother of Potomsky's mother,. And, what is most interesting, the director of both LLCs in 2009-2013 was a citizen Dorofeev Vladimir Anatolyevich, the same one who was invited by Vadim Potomsky to the position of general director of Orelgorteploenergo JSC. Now a couple of warm words about how the municipal enterprise Orelgorteploenergo came under the control of the governor's office. On January 28, 2015, Vadim Potomsky urgently summoned Mikhail Bernikov, city manager of Orel, and instructed him to include in the agenda of tomorrow's meeting of the City Council the issue of transferring Orelgorteploenergo free of charge to regional ownership. Bernikov did not even hide the fact that the issue was introduced at the initiative of the governor, and the deputies of the City Council unanimously voted in favor. On March 31, 100% of the shares, in accordance with the order of Potomsky, became the property of the regional Department of State Property and Land Relations, which was headed by Andrey Sinyagov, invited by the governor from St. Petersburg. The already mentioned St. Petersburg partner of the Potomsky family, the Bagdasarovs, Vladimir Dorofeev, became the general director, and Alexander Remiga, a resident of the Northern capital, also became the chairman of the board of directors of Orelgorteploenergo JSC (in November 2016 he was replaced by another St. Petersburg deputy Pomsky, Anatoly Mishanov). In general, by 2016, the "St. Petersburg" chain has developed completely and finally. We remind readers that by now Dorofeev is in a temporary detention facility, Remiga, Mishanov and Sinyagov have left their positions in the regional government.

Since March 2017, Vitaly Rybakov, deputy of the Oryol Regional Council of People's Deputies, has been writing deputy requests to the governor, the regional prosecutor's office, and the General Prosecutor's Office, and to. In them, he asked the security forces to pay attention to what was happening at Orelgorteploenergo. In particular, Rybakov reported that the director of the enterprise, Dorofeev, lived outside the region and arranged weekly business trips to the Leningrad Region at the expense of Orelgorteploenergo. In addition, according to Rybakov's appeals, “the enterprise had an annual income of 100 to 200 million rubles due to the lease of heating networks. But at the same time, according to the decision of Dorofeev, it issued loans to “various companies that participated, among other things, in the reconstruction of anniversary facilities (theaters, Lenin Stadium) and affiliated with the governor Vadim Potomsky and his entourage.” According to Rybakov, the loans issued were not returned, since many firms disappeared after the “development”, as was the case, for example, with “321 Armed Forces of Ukraine”, which went into bankruptcy proceedings. Today, after the resignation of Vadim Potomsky, criminal cases are being initiated against him henchmen, business partners of his family and other associates (almost wrote "accomplices"). And in the spring and summer of 2017, the prosecutor's office of the Oryol region and some other structures simply ignored the deputy's requests, getting off with the usual replies. Vitaly Rybakov, at a meeting of the regional Council of People's Deputies, demanded to call the chairman of the board of directors of Oryolgorteploenergo for an explanation, but the chairman of the Orel Regional Council of People's Deputies, Leonid Muzalevsky, "for regulatory reasons" refused to do this, fearing publicity and a legitimate question: what did the leader do to solve the problem regional legislature?
The only structure that worked closely with Orelgorteploenergo was the FSB department for the Oryol region. All summer there was a collection of materials, and in the autumn the operation entered into decisive phase. The operatives seized documents in the office of Oryolgorteploenergo. But only at the very end of last year, the Investigative Committee of the ICR for the Oryol Region opened a criminal case and reported that the partner of the governor's family, Vladimir Dorofeev, "according to the investigation, holds the position of general director of Oryolgorteploenergo, a joint-stock company in which 100% of the shares belong to the Department of State Property and land relations of the Oryol region - from December 2015 to June 2017, abusing his powers in order to gain benefits for himself and others, under the guise of exercising a legal economic activity entered into interest-bearing loan agreements, including with one-day firms, after which funds were transferred from the settlement accounts of Orelgorteploenergo JSC to the settlement accounts of these dubious organizations for total amount more than 139 million rubles. To date, loans to the joint-stock company have not been returned, which caused property damage to Orelgorteploenergo and the administration of the Oryol region. ”And the Investigative Committee of the ICR officially confirmed Rybakov’s data that Dorofeev from February 2016 to August 2017 “regularly visited the city on personal matters Petersburg and Moscow, while using his official position, and the suspect registered these trips as business trips. Travel expenses were transferred to Dorofeev’s personal bank card, which he disposed of at his own discretion. As a result of the illegal actions of Dorofeev JSC "". Well, Dorofeev spent 100 thousand state rubles a month on himself, but where, in fact, did 139 (if you count the percentages, then more than 150) million? Sailed away, by the way, with the "assistance" of Sinyagov, Remiga and Mishanov. And it would also be worthwhile for the investigation to figure out whether the prosecutor of the region Ivan Poluektov and the chairman of the regional council Leonid Muzalevsky condoned the development of this whole story. According to one of the journalistic versions, 65 million were transferred to the company of Artur Sarkisov, invited by Potomsky, “321 APU”, which went bankrupt after “sending” a “loan” to the next intermediary. Even the firm of the ultimate “interested party” was named – Vadim Potomsky’s sister Lyubov Potomskaya Lenkvarts LLC. But now, while the investigation is ongoing, we can neither confirm nor deny this version. The "St. Petersburg chain" turned out to be too confusing and full of intermediaries. In relation to Artur Sarkisov, by the way, four days after the resignation of Potomsky, a criminal case was initiated under Art. 195 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Now it is difficult to predict the finale of the case of Orelgorteploenergo JSC, but let's, dear readers, answer a simple question: do you believe that by bringing the municipal enterprise into "your" regional property, putting at the head of its "family" general director, making the head owner - the regional Department of State Property and Land Relations of one of his henchmen, and the chairmen of the board of directors - another, Vadim Potomsky, as an experienced businessman, admitted that 150 million sailed away in an unknown direction?
"WAY" LEADING TO THE "ZONE"
"Track" - so affectionately called the comrades-in-arms of the ex-governor Vadim Potomsky, his beloved "Road Service". It was established in 2011 and was engaged in the maintenance of regional roads. The city ones were cleaned by the municipal enterprise Spetsavtobaza. Not even two months have passed since the appearance of Vadim Potomsky in the region, as he decided to make the Path the sole manager of budget funds allocated for the repair and maintenance of roads in the region. May 13, 2014: "Vadim Potomsky announced the plans of the regional government to apply to the Oryol City Council of People's Deputies with a request to transfer authority for the maintenance of roads in the city of Orel to the regional level." Any opposition to this idea of Potomsky simply infuriated. After employees of Spetsavtobaza began picketing in the summer of 2015, trying to save the enterprise, the now former governor publicly demanded that the security forces “identify the instigators”:
After the "Road Service" monopolized the financial flows allocated for the repair and maintenance of roads, the systematic disappearance of budgetary funds began in it. If, when working with JSC "Orelgorteploenergo", Vadim Potomsky made a bet on one "family" general director, who is now languishing in the detention center, then the tactics of working with the "Road Service" was chosen differently. Directors there changed every few months, which made it difficult for the investigating authorities to work. As soon as they begin to collect material, check the director for corruption and theft, and he is already out of business! Over the course of three years, seven directors have changed in Pathway. And the Path was supervised, of course, by the same Alexander Remiga and Anatoly Mishanov, Potomsky's deputies, who in different time headed the board of directors of Oryolgorteploenergo!
On May 3, 2017, the Orlovskaya Sreda newspaper published a letter on behalf of 520 employees of the Road Service, which described how officials from the Potomsky team turned state enterprise into a “machine for laundering and theft of budgetary funds.” The letter revealed large-scale abuses, it was said about the purchase of raw materials from suppliers from the southern regions at inflated prices, about the transfer of contracts to firms affiliated with the leaders of the Path. Who covers the theft, the workers perfectly understood. In despair: “The purpose of our appeal is to draw attention to and stop the lawlessness with the collapse and theft that occurs at the enterprise under the auspices of the people of Potomsky and Mishanov. We see no point in contacting Governor Potomsky, since we already know that this is ineffective, and the example of other ruined enterprises over the three years of his governorship confirms this.
Since the summer of 2016, Vitaly Rybakov, deputy of the Oryol Regional Council of People's Deputies, has been actively involved in a real struggle to show the public and law enforcement agencies the schemes used by the Road Service, which was led exclusively by the personal appointees of the governor. He noted: “Careful citizens, employees of the enterprise addressed me as a deputy, published appeals in the media, which cited glaring facts. The Road Service, for example, purchased oil products at clearly inflated prices from firms in other regions, although the company's vehicles are already provided with fuel using special cards at local gas stations. And carry fuel, say, from Stavropol Territory- is to act in accordance with the saying "A heifer is a half, but the ruble is transported." There are also issues with the supply of inert materials. All these materials, with the exception of crushed granite, are available in sufficient quantities in our region, but the deliveries of sand to the Road Service were again made by firms from the southern regions of Russia. What was the point of such supplies?
It was Rybakov’s deputy requests that became a kind of catalyst for the regional Council of People’s Deputies, practically contrary to the opinion of its chairman Leonid Muzalevsky, to initiate an audit of the Road Service by the Chamber of Control and Accounts. On May 19, 2017, the auditor of the Chamber of Control and Accounts of the region, Alevtina Pirogova, signed a report on the results of the audit of the Road Service.
The report of the PCB (the text is at the disposal of the editors) was immediately sent to the prosecutor of the Orel region, Ivan Poluektov, and the chairman of the regional council, Leonid Muzalevsky. In a letter addressed to the Prosecutor General of Russia Yuri Chaika, deputy Vitaly Rybakov writes: “Despite the fact that the materials of the check were sent to the prosecutor’s office of the Oryol region back in May 2017, the reaction followed only seven months later, it turns out that the regional prosecutor’s office began to work only after the resignation Governor Potomsky V.V.
It cannot be said that the leaders of the "Path" did not attempt to organize a legal cover.
At one time, the general director of the enterprise, Yevgeny Goncharenko, who was threatened with problems with the law, having four lawyers on his staff, concluded an agreement for the provision of legal services with a well-known Oryol lawyer, president of the Bar Association and a member of public councils of almost all law enforcement agencies of the Oryol region Sergey Malfanov. Under the terms of the contract, the payment for the services of Mr. Malfanov cost the Road Service 1,200,000 rubles a year, that is, 100,000 rubles a month. Did not help. Four months later, Goncharenko left his post, and then was arrested as part of a criminal case under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud), initiated on the fact of an attempted theft. The contract with Malfanov was terminated, but he received 400 thousand rubles in four months.
The search for those responsible for the massive abuses that took place during former governor Vadim Potomsky and, as is believed, were carried out with the tacit consent of the chairman of the regional Council of People's Deputies Leonid Muzalevsky, according to the deputy of the regional council Vitaly Rybakov, is not an end in itself, although the punishment should be inevitable regardless of the position: “I have already said and I will repeat again: stolen money does not go anywhere, you can always find the final addressee. And, in my opinion, the task of law enforcement agencies is precisely this. According to my calculations, over the past three years, about 3 billion budget funds have been withdrawn from the Oryol region. Today, both the regional and city budgets are experiencing an acute shortage of finance. With this money, it would be possible to build kindergartens, schools, repair sports facilities, provide schoolchildren with hot meals without any problems, and beneficiaries with free medicines. Therefore, I repeat, we must do everything possible to.

An excerpt characterizing Potomsky, Vadim Vladimirovich
“However, everything suits you, my lovely,” she said.A smile of pleasure never left Natasha's face. She felt happy and flourishing under the praises of this dear Countess Bezukhova, who had previously seemed to her such an impregnable and important lady, and who was now so kind to her. Natasha became cheerful and felt almost in love with this beautiful and such good-natured woman. Helen, for her part, sincerely admired Natasha and wanted to amuse her. Anatole asked her to set him up with Natasha, and for this she came to the Rostovs. The thought of bringing her brother together with Natasha amused her.
In spite of the fact that she had previously been annoyed with Natasha for having wrested Boris from her in Petersburg, now she did not even think about it, and with all her heart, in her own way, wished Natasha well. Leaving the Rostovs, she withdrew her protegee aside.
- Yesterday my brother dined with me - we were dying of laughter - he does not eat anything and sighs for you, my charm. Il est fou, mais fou amoureux de vous, ma chere. [He's crazy, but he's crazy in love with you, my dear.]
Natasha blushed purple upon hearing these words.
- How blushing, how blushing, ma delicieuse! [my charm!] - Helen said. - You should definitely come. Si vous aimez quelqu "un, ma delicieuse, ce n" est pas une raison pour se cloitrer. Si meme vous etes promise, je suis sure que votre promis aurait desire que vous alliez dans le monde en son absence plutot que deperir d "ennui. [From the fact that you love someone, my lovely, you should not live as a nun. Even if you're a bride, I'm sure your fiancé would rather have you go out into the world in his absence than die of boredom.]
“So she knows that I am a bride, so she and her husband, with Pierre, with this fair Pierre, Natasha thought, talked and laughed about it. So it was nothing." And again, under the influence of Helen, what had previously seemed terrible seemed simple and natural. “And she is such a grande dame, [important lady,] so sweet and so evidently loves me with all her heart,” thought Natasha. And why not have fun? thought Natasha, looking at Helen with surprised, wide-open eyes.
Marya Dmitrievna returned to dinner, silent and serious, obviously having suffered a defeat at the old prince's. She was still too excited about the collision to be able to calmly tell the story. To the question of the count, she answered that everything was fine and that she would tell tomorrow. Learning about the visit of Countess Bezukhova and the invitation to the evening, Marya Dmitrievna said:
- I don’t like to hang out with Bezukhova and I won’t advise; Well, yes, if you promised, go, you’ll be scattered, ”she added, turning to Natasha.
Count Ilya Andreich took his girls to Countess Bezukhova. There were quite a lot of people at the evening. But the whole society was almost unfamiliar to Natasha. Count Ilya Andreich noted with displeasure that this whole society consisted mainly of men and women, known for their liberties of treatment. M lle Georges, surrounded by young people, stood in the corner of the living room. There were several Frenchmen, among them Metivier, who, since Helene's arrival, had been her housewife. Count Ilya Andreich made up his mind not to sit down at cards, not to leave his daughters, and to leave as soon as the performance of Georges was over.
Anatole was apparently at the door waiting for the Rostovs to enter. He immediately greeted the count, went up to Natasha and followed her. As soon as Natasha saw him, just as in the theater, a feeling of conceited pleasure that he liked her and fear from the absence of moral barriers between her and him seized her. Helen joyfully received Natasha and loudly admired her beauty and toilet. Shortly after their arrival, m lle Georges left the room to dress. In the living room they began to arrange chairs and sit down. Anatole moved a chair to Natasha and wanted to sit beside her, but the count, who did not take his eyes off Natasha, sat down beside her. Anatole sat in the back.
M lle Georges, with bare, dimpled, thick arms, in a red shawl worn over one shoulder, stepped into the empty space left for her between the chairs and stopped in an unnatural pose. An enthusiastic whisper was heard. M lle Georges looked sternly and gloomily at the audience and began to speak some verses in French, where it was about her criminal love for her son. In places she raised her voice, in places she whispered, solemnly raising her head, in places she stopped and wheezed, rolling her eyes.
- Adorable, divin, delicieux! [Amazing, divine, wonderful!] - was heard from all sides. Natasha looked at fat Georges, but heard nothing, saw nothing, and understood nothing of what was going on in front of her; she only felt completely irrevocable again in that strange, insane world, so far from the former, in that world in which it was impossible to know what was good, what was bad, what was rational and what was insane. Behind her sat Anatole, and she, feeling his closeness, fearfully waited for something.
After the first monologue, the whole society stood up and surrounded m lle Georges, expressing their delight to her.
- How good she is! Natasha said to her father, who, along with the others, got up and moved towards the actress through the crowd.
“I can’t find it, looking at you,” Anatole said, following Natasha. He said it at a time when she alone could hear him. - You are charming ... from the moment I saw you, I did not stop ....
“Let’s go, let’s go, Natasha,” said the count, returning for his daughter. - How good!
Natasha, without saying anything, went up to her father and looked at him with questioning surprised eyes.
After several receptions of recitation, m lle Georges left and the Countess Bezuhaya asked for company in the hall.
The count wanted to leave, but Helen begged not to spoil her impromptu ball. The Rostovs remained. Anatole invited Natasha to a waltz, and during the waltz, he, shaking her body and hand, told her that she was ravissante [charming] and that he loved her. During the ecossaise, which she again danced with Kuragin, when they were alone, Anatole did not say anything to her and only looked at her. Natasha was in doubt if she saw in a dream what he said to her during the waltz. At the end of the first figure, he again shook hands with her. Natasha looked up at him with frightened eyes, but such a self-confidently gentle expression was in his affectionate look and smile that she could not, looking at him, say what she had to tell him. She lowered her eyes.
