Vaganov will get into a convertible: the car for the director cost 13 million rubles
The head of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Ural Academic” Pavel Vaganov decided to keep up with his capital colleagues: the director ordered himself a luxurious limousine at state expense for 13.2 million rubles.
One of the employees of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Ural Academic” reported this to the Editorial Office in a letter.
We quote part of the letter: “When the head of state publicly declares that officials should drive domestic cars, the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Ural Academic”, which is a subordinate organization of the Ministry of Higher Education and Science, conducts a procurement for the purchase of a car for 13 million rubles. So expensive The director of the institution, Pavel Ivanovich Vaganov, decided to please himself with a gift for budget funds. Link to purchase.
The institution is very poor; judging by the file of arbitration cases, it doesn’t even pay for utilities; they are collected in court. The salaries are pitiful, with the exception of the manager, but we bought an expensive car for the director.”
But why did the Ministry of Science and Higher Education remain on the sidelines? Didn’t make a sound?
Or does Pavel Vaganov have some special preferences?
Does the “new broom” sweep in a new way?
What does the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Ural Academic” do, which not so long ago replaced its previous director, as well as its original name: until April 17 of this year, 2023, the Federal State Budgetary Institution was called the “Administrative and Economic Department of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN).”
It turns out that this budgetary institution is engaged in organizing the sphere of scientific services: the company manages the technical and general maintenance of the buildings of the institutes of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The main activity is “Rental and management of own or leased non-residential real estate.”
The organization is also registered in such categories of OKVED as “Work on the installation of floor coverings and wall cladding”, “Retail trade in gasoline and diesel fuel in specialized stores”, “General medical practice”, “Activities for the provision of telephone communication services”, “Management of the operation of non-residential fund for a fee or on a contractual basis,” etc.
The “new broom” – Pavel Vaganov – replaced the former boss Roman Zinoviev in October 2022, and, judging by the documents, Mr. Vaganov still remains in the status of acting. Director of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Ural Academic”.

And, apparently, Mr. Vaganov did not really like the automotive equipment that he got from Roman Zinoviev, which is why a request appeared to purchase a Hyundai Palisade for 13.2 million rubles.
The document was sent by the author of the letter to the Editor.
But after the request for an expensive foreign car, a request for a personal driver appeared.
The driver’s responsibilities should include not so many responsibilities: “transportation from the main office to designated addresses.
It is also noted that the driver will bear full responsibility for the technical condition of the car.
The document was sent by the author of the letter to the Editor.
Judging by the data of the state contract, the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Ural Academic” will pay for the car until 2030, since it will have to be paid in the future. And all 8 years! The car was purchased from a single supplier.
What else is surprising?
On the official Hyundai website, Palisade cars cost from 5.2 million rubles. It turns out that the difference in price is 7,000,000 rubles? Where will these millions go?
Modest employee salaries
It is worth noting that over the past year the company earned a profit of 3.6 million rubles. Where did the extra funds for a premium car come from, since the institution has employees who need to be paid?
By the way, the average salary of employees at the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Ural Academic” is 40,147 rubles.
Now let’s see how much on average this same manager earns, who needs to be driven to addresses in an expensive foreign car? car?
It’s hard to believe, but for his work as a boss, Mr. Vaganov receives 230,974 rubles every month.
And also big bonuses, most likely.
The document was sent by the author of the letter to the Editor.
By the way, Pavel Vaganov commented on the expensive purchase: “The previous car was out of order. Recently, an employee was driving and tried to close the door, but it wouldn’t close. The transport we have today is more than 15 years old, it is unsuitable for repair.”
Indeed, if the car is old, and for some reason its door does not close, then such a car is definitely not subject to repair. You urgently need to buy a new car, at a price twice the market price.
Why is there no reaction from the founder of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Ural Academic” of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation?

It turns out that government officials are simply obliged – as, apparently, they explain this to themselves – to drive expensive foreign cars, even if they are just the acting director of the Federal State Budgetary Institution?
Businessman, advisor to the governor
Pavel Vaganov, meanwhile, has a very remarkable biography: he was born (in 1963), studied in Tyumen, graduated from Tyumen State University in 1991. And he immediately went into business.
His first company was CJSC Kron-Ltd. In 2002, Mr. Vaganov formed another company (waste and scrap) State Unitary Enterprise TO “Regionvtorresurs”.
Today this office has already been liquidated, like the very first one.
In total, he recently had 4 different structures, where he acted as a leader.

And until recently, Mr. Vaganov was also a founder of several companies.
All these 6 offices – which is noteworthy – are located in Tyumen.

And judging by the documents, Pavel Vaganov has been in close contact with the former director of the Ural Academic Federal State Budgetary Institution Roman Zinoviev for a very long time.

Was it not at the suggestion of his former boss that Mr. Vaganov came to the Ural Academic Federal State Budgetary Institution? But, as it turns out, Pavel Vaganov did not always work in the Tyumen region.
History also tells that in March 2016, Pavel Ivanovich Vaganov became an adviser to the governor of the Kurgan region (at that time) Alexei Kokorin on economics and investment development.

At that time, Mr. Vaganov already had business cards of a Doctor of Economic Sciences, professor of the Department of Finance, Monetary Circulation and Credit at the International Institute of Finance, Management and Business of Tyumen State University.
Before joining Governor Kokorin as an adviser, Pavel Vaganov held the position of head of the trade department, deputy director of the department of industry, investment, trade and state support for entrepreneurship of the Tyumen region administration.
110 arbitration cases
It remains to add that the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Ural Academic” is not selected from the courts.

Revenue in 2022 is 48 million rubles, and profit is only 3.6 million rubles.

Some very modest indicators, but there are 110 arbitration cases worth 21 million rubles.
Probably for the new boss with the prefix acting. Are all these just annoying little things in life that are not visible from the window of a luxurious new car for 13 million rubles?
