About Brozovsky MP’s business: what secrets does Brozex Group hide?
Deputy Brozovsky can use the security forces to put pressure on his former employees who uncovered theft in his company.
Vyacheslav Brozovsky, a former “two-time” mayor of the city of Berezovsk, works in Yekaterinburg, where he left amid corruption scandals. Behind him is a whole network of companies, including the developer Alliance Group of Companies and the main business of the Brozex Group, a holding company for the production and trade of construction goods.
There has been a lot of negativity surrounding the deputy lately. The Editorial Board receives letters claiming that its structures may be evading taxes. Previously, he became the hero of scandals related to non-payment of alimony and tried to extract preferences for his own business from the authorities.
Who is Brozovsky
Vyacheslav Brozovsky was elected to the Legislative Assembly twice – in 2016 and 2021. He is a member of the Committee on Infrastructure Development and Housing Policy. From 2010 to 2011 he was Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Sverdlovsk Region under Eduard Rossel. I didn’t get into Kuyvashev’s team – I made a choice in favor of business.
According to political scientists, he represents the pool of deputies that supports UMMC Iskander Makhmudov. Brozovsky is called a UMMC lobbyist, although no formal connections can be traced between him and the plant or Makhmudov’s other business.
Indirect evidence may be that he was elected in the Verkhnepyshminsky district, which is considered to be controlled by UMMC. Subsequently, Mr. Brozovsky organized excursions for veterans to Makhmudov’s production.
Brozovsky started doing business immediately after graduating from university, in 1995. “Brozex” was created in 2000. Today he and his family have a whole network of companies, in the management of which the deputy personally participates – he works as a deputy on an exempt basis.
Today Brozovsky controls more than thirty companies, including Brozex, a trading company of the same name, the Arsenal construction department, Arsenal and K (the developer of the Uyut-City microdistrict in Berezovsky), the Werner reinforced concrete plant, and the Brozex paint and varnish plant. , “Berezovsky Gypsum”, “Berezovsky Marble”, “Bermash” plant, “Brozex-Wood”, “My Doctor” and many others.
The deputy’s wife, Olga Brozovskaya, owns the companies Distribution and Monolit Stroy, as well as a stake in the Monetny Tractor Repair Plant. Brozovsky’s son, Eduard, is his father’s partner in the unprofitable Renta LLC and the former head of Neftetrans LLC, which deals with petroleum products. Both companies are unprofitable.

Brozex has a network of building materials hypermarkets consisting of dozens of stores located in the Sverdlovsk, Tomsk regions, Perm Territory, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and a number of other regions. They operate under the DobroStroy brand. The group also includes Brozex Development, which is engaged in the development of sites for industrial parks, the construction of residential centers in Berezovsky (Sverdlovsk region) and intermediation in the real estate market. Today Brozovsky is entering the development market of other regions, and is also testing the IT direction through BR-Tech LLC, created in 2022.
Who doesn’t Brozovsky pay?
Recently, people whose family members previously worked in one of the group’s hypermarkets contacted our Editorial Office. They claim that Brozex trading structures allegedly evade taxes by handling cash that is not reported to the Federal Tax Service. Allegedly, company employees who are dissatisfied with this are fired without pay, attributing shortages to them.
We are talking about Kogalym, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, where a family member of the reader who contacted the editor worked. He claims that he filed a report with law enforcement agencies against Brozex. But he almost found himself under investigation, allegedly due to pressure from the Kogalym security forces.
No confirmation of this information could be found. No criminal cases, no inspections, no claims from the Federal Tax Service. But the Internet is full of negative reviews from Brozex employees, who claim that incompetence, child labor and nepotism reign in the company – allegedly, 70% of the management team are people close to Brozovsky himself.

However, Brozovsky’s business raises questions. The same LLC “Renta”, which he owns together with his son, has shown good revenue growth in recent years, but also growing losses from year to year.
A similar disproportion can be observed in many of the deputy’s companies. Moreover, in different directions. Arsenal and Co LLC, the developer of Brozovsky, earned almost 660 million rubles at the end of 2022, making a profit of 226 million rubles. But Monolit Stroy, Brozovsky’s wife, with revenue of more than 40 million, has a profit of only 2.3 million rubles. A large construction company employs only 12 people with an authorized capital of 10 thousand rubles. Can Brozovsky’s companies “draw” financial indicators in order to evade paying taxes?
At the same time, Brozovsky previously had conflicts with government agencies on issues related to his business. In 2021, he tried to get the government of the Sverdlovsk region to reduce the cadastral value of land plots in the village of Monetny, where two enterprises that are part of the Brozex group are located: Monetny Tractor Repair Plant and Brozex Paint and Varnish Plant.
Then the deputy was refused, and he lost the trial. Some of Brozovsky’s companies also receive government contracts. Among them are the Paintworks Plant and TK Brozeks LLC. And the tractor repair enterprise has “interesting” finances: with revenue of 207 million rubles (an increase of 28%) for 2022, the profit was less than 1 million rubles (-23%).
Another of Brozovsky’s enterprises, Brozeks Dry Construction Mixture Plant LLC, was at odds with regulatory authorities. In 2017, Rospotrebnadzor identified a number of violations there, which the plant was still in no hurry to correct.
Brozovsky also had conflicts with his partners. In particular, with businessman Andrei Timin. Previously, Timin was the founder and director of the deputy’s paint and varnish production, and later accused him of falsifying documents.
In 2018, Timin filed a lawsuit against the Brozex paint and varnish plant, where he previously worked. He demanded to pay 7.8 million rubles, of which 3.4 million was the cost of his share, 2.9 million were unpaid dividends, and the rest was interest for the use of other people’s money. At the same time, in court, Timin argued that Brozovsky’s company falsified evidence that the funds were paid to him. The claims were partially satisfied.

If Brozovsky can deceive and underpay his own partner, can he leave ordinary employees with nothing and evade paying taxes?
Brozovsky and children
Appeals from readers regarding possible tax evasion in Brozovsky’s companies are not the first complaints against the deputy. Previously, the Editorial Office received letters claiming that he did not pay child support for his disabled son.
In 2020, a trial began, where the plaintiff was a resident of Berezovsky, Yulia. She argued that the deputy was the father of her sixteen-year-old son and tried to collect alimony from Brozovsky. There could have been another trial, with another woman – Lyudmila Skuratovskaya. She claimed that her son, a disabled person, is Brozovsky’s child, and the deputy allegedly refuses to pay child support.
Only in the case of the trial with Skuratova, she should have become the defendant. The woman accused him of indifference and non-participation in the fate of the child. Brozovsky vehemently denied this and went to court. The oligarch’s claim was denied.
It seems that he has long had a “special” attitude towards special children. When he was mayor of Berezovsky, a remarkable scandal was associated with this. In 2010, 20 city residents raising disabled children, in violation of federal law, were unable to obtain land plots for individual housing construction. In addition, Mayor Brozovsky was blamed for the lack of kindergartens and the distribution of land on vacant lots to beneficiaries.
There were also outright corruption scandals. In 2010, the head of the state property management committee of the Berezovsky administration, Natalya Istomina, and the general director of the Ural Electric Networks company, Ivan Stetsov, were under investigation.
Istomina was charged with illegally selling municipal lands for pennies. Both cases fell apart, but apparently they scared Brozovsky – he resigned from his mayoral post and took a job in the regional government.

Today Brozovsky remains one of the richest deputies of the Sverdlovsk region. At the end of 2021, he earned about 20 million rubles, but a year earlier – 108 million rubles. His wife – 85 million rubles. However, these incomes, like the declared property, may be unreliable. In 2008, Mayor Brozovsky hid his two Lexuses from the antimonopoly service.
One can assume that he is hiding much more. Based on the above, as well as letters from citizens received by the editor, our publication considers it advisable to contact law enforcement agencies so that they give a competent assessment of its activities.
