The joint business of Senator Dmitry Saveliev and daughter Valentina Tereshkova is falling apart, and the auditor is being blamed? However, there is another version – allegedly they were simply circled around their fingers.
According to a correspondent of The Moscow Post, the Moscow Arbitration Court declared Pharmservice LLC bankrupt. This company is part of the joint business of Tula Senator Dmitry Savelyev and Elena Tereshkova, the daughter of State Duma deputy Valentina Tereshkova. Pharmservice allegedly wanted to take control of the well-known auditor Elena Loss. Which is why she was prosecuted. But in this story, not everything is so clear.
Get rid of “Pharmservice”
The application for bankruptcy of “Pharmservice” was filed by “Administrator business center” LLC. At the same time, the requirements of this company to Pharmservice were not very significant – only 325 thousand rubles. In the process of considering the bankruptcy case, the “Business Center Administrator” transferred the rights of claim from “Pharmservice” in favor of Elina Fertikova. Probably, Pharmservice, if it wanted to, could repay this debt. But, apparently, the owners of the company did not have such a desire.
Pharmservice was established on September 10, 2018 and was engaged in the supply of bifdumbacterin. The sole owner of this company is Probiopharm LLC, the composition of the founders of which is as follows: Dmitry Savelyev (55%), Liya Muradova (30%), Elena Tereshkova (15%).
Dmitry Savelyev is a senator, a representative of the executive body of state power of the Tula region in the upper house of the Russian parliament. Elena Tereshkova is known as the daughter of Valentina Tereshkova, a State Duma deputy. Previously, Elena Tereshkova was the CEO of Pharmservice. Liya Muradova, in particular, gained fame as the director of Probiopharm, but not only. More on this below.
Earlier, in order to create this business, Savelyev and Tereshkova bought the assets from the Partner company. Equipment, trademarks, real estate necessary for the development and production of probiotics and Bifidok were purchased.

Judging by the reports of Pharmservice, which is in the process of bankruptcy, the company did business quite well. At least in 2019, the organization finished with a revenue of 125.3 million rubles. 2020 was even better in this sense, revenue amounted to 167.4 million rubles. True, if at the end of 2019 the company reported a symbolic net profit in the amount of 719 thousand rubles, then in 2020 it brought a loss of more than 9.8 million rubles.
At the same time, the founder of Pharmservice, the Probiopharm company, feels quite confident financially. At least at the end of 2020, the company reported revenue of more than 190.4 million rubles and net profit of 1.1 million rubles. This means that, most likely, the owners of Pharmservice, Tereshkova and Savelyev, had the resources to pay off the claim of 325 thousand rubles. But obviously they just didn’t want to do it.
Loss “went right through”
According to the authors of the Arbitr Telegram channel, allegedly: “Currently, Pharmservice is challenging the deal for the sale of real estate, namely a building and a land plot located in the Serpukhov district of the Moscow region, the deal took place at a significantly lower price.”
In addition, the same authors allege the alleged former directors of the company were in cahoots and sold more of the assets. “As a result, several criminal cases were initiated, one of the directors was allegedly taken into custody. In addition, the auditor Elena Loss, who stole a share in the authorized capital of Pharmservice, was arrested in one of the criminal cases, the deal is also being challenged in court.”

Kommersant also wrote about this case. “The well-known Russian auditor Elena Loss has been put on the wanted list on charges of particularly large-scale fraud. Her company RSM-Rus served Rostec, Russian Post, Rosseti and other large structures. According to the TFR, from the actions of Ms. Loss and other defendants suffered Elena Tereshkova – the daughter of the first woman cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova and Senator Dmitry Savelyev.
The auditor tried to steal the Pharmservice company from them, which owns the rights to large innovative developments of sorbed probiotics, as well as trademarks of the most popular products, including Bifidok, Kommersant reported. These are not all the details. “At the beginning of 2021, Mrs. Loss, according to the investigation, also developed a plan to take over 100% of the shares of Pharmservice LLC.
Its executors, according to the TFR, were old acquaintances of the auditor – the general director of Probiopharm Liya Muradova and the head of Pharmservice Konstantin Belyaev … One of the defendants in the case, the former general director of the Pharmservice company Konstantin Belyaev, has already been arrested by the Presnensky District Court of the capital, “added” Merchant”.

Elena Tereshkova and Dmitry Savelyev were recognized as victims. According to the investigation, having been appointed adviser to the general director of the Probiopharm company since March 16, 2020, and since February 1, 2021, having taken the same position in the Pharmservice company, Elena Loss completely took them under her control, just like LLC “Avan” associated with them.
In the company “Avan” Elena Tereshkova is the general director, she also owns 30% of this LLC. Another 40% belongs to Dmitry Savelyev, another 30% belongs to BeneventTreiting AG. At the end of 2019, Avan reported revenue of 83.5 million rubles and a net profit of 156 thousand rubles.
One way or another, the bankruptcy of Pharmservice may be part of this corporate conflict. It may well be that Tereshkova and Savelyev managed to withdraw funds from the company, and now all that remains is to bankrupt it, thereby burying the dreams of competitors to take over the business. But who is to blame for them that such a lady as Elena Loss appeared in their business at all. After all, they trusted her. Therefore, Savelyev and Tereshkov can only blame themselves for what happened.
Ambiguous Savelyev
Even before the problems with Pharmservice, Senator Savelyev had something to rack his brains about. So his name was associated with a scandal over the withdrawal of assets from the Spetsstroyservis company, one of the largest developers in the Republic of Tatarstan. On this occasion, the Lenta.ru publication, citing a statement by the founder and former owner of this company, Sirin Badrutdinov, in the RF IC reported: “In the period from 2013 to May 2019, at the request of Dmitry Vladimirovich Saveliev, a former deputy of the State Duma, now a member of the Federation Council, at least one billion rubles was transferred from the settlement account of Spetsstroyservis LLC to the accounts of firms provided specially for this purpose by Dmitry Savelyev’s trustee – Irina Kudryashova, who was also Savelyev’s assistant when he was his deputy. D.V. as a ten percent kickback for providing Spetsstroyservis LLC with contracts with PJSC Transneft and general patronage in the performance of work stipulated by these contracts.
Outside observers might get the impression that Saveliev, quite possibly, decided to deal with Sirin Badrutdinov, who fell under criminal prosecution, in this way. Moreover, Savelyev himself walked on the edge of a knife more than once.
In 1998, Saveliev headed PJSC Transneft. But he stayed in office for a little over a year. “Together with several former leaders of PJSC Transneft, he became a defendant in a criminal case initiated as a result of an audit of the activities of PJSC Transneft, which revealed misappropriation of budget funds. However, the case was subsequently dismissed, and the top manager decided to focus on politics,” – reminds “Lenta.ru”.
In the light of the stories with Sirin Badrutdinov and Savelyev’s past in Transneft, the current epic associated with Elena Loss and her accomplices is beginning to take on a different color. It may well be that the criminal prosecution of Loss and those who helped her is far from random. After all, no one forced Savelyev to deal with Badrutdinov or Loss. At least nothing is known about the fact that Savelyev was forced to communicate with these citizens. Once “warmed” on the chest, now deal with the consequences.
