The developer company LLC “Flat and Co” has not yet transferred their housing to equity holders on Admiral Nakhimov Avenue in Moscow Cheryomushki, despite the fact that it was obliged to do this back in the summer of the past year. So say the authors of the letter to the editors of The Moscow Post – equity holders of the Nakhimov apartment complex. It should be noted that this company has already been the “hero” of our publications.
At the same time, our readers pay attention to the fact that the structure continues to regularly receive more and more new contracts in Moscow, completing housing for those who could not cope with the task. How a company that can produce long-term construction on its own manages to live like this, – the correspondent of The Moscow Post figured out. trying to take possession of their property.
We quote: “We, the equity holders of the Nakhimov residential complex, repeatedly came to the office of the Flat and Co company, but received only threats and insults addressed to us. We recorded each trip on video, and we have this material.”
Let's add that the video materials in question were also provided to our editorial office and, if necessary, can be provided to law enforcement agencies.
Offshore development
The developer company “Flat and Co” is indeed a fairly well-known development company. She repeatedly participated in government tenders, won competitions for the construction of houses in Moscow under the renovation program. She also at one time received the right to complete the construction of the Academ Palace complex, where the previous company left the equity holders with practically nothing.
Meanwhile, there are enough scandals around this structure, and outside of Moscow. First of all, it is tied to offshore business. The main owner of the structure with a share of 64% is the Cypriot offshore Pantycare Trading Limited. But the second, and he is most likely the main beneficiary, is the controversial Russian businessman Dmitry Maistrenko, who could already light up in a whole series of ugly stories. The owner of the company, Dmitry Maistrenko, may be backed by very serious and influential people connected with a high-profile corruption scandal with the 1520 Group of Companies, one of the largest contractors of Russian Railways. In particular, Boris Usherovich, who went on the run, and Valery Markelov, already involved in the “colonel Zakharchenko case.”

I remember another project to which he could have been directly related. Namely – LCD “Sun City” in Sochi. He gained fame throughout Russia in connection with a recent fatal accident, in which a car was involved, transporting TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak. She was just returning from Sochi to Moscow from a corporate party dedicated to the long-awaited start of sales of apartments in Sun City.
This start, like the completion of the complex itself, was really long-awaited. The project began in 2014, the deadlines were constantly postponed, the construction site was surrounded by scandals. And then the developer LLC “South Coast of Sochi” and, as they say, almost gave a long life.

The fact is that the founder of Yuzhny Bereg LLC Sochi” was just Dmitry Maistrenko – from 2017 to 2020. In addition to him, the ambiguous company Inception Point was co-owners, which has no revenue for 2021, but has assets worth 147 million rubles.
Surprisingly, Yuzhny Bereg Sochi LLC is still bankrupt. Meanwhile, at the end of 2021, he had a loss of 447 million rubles (increased by 277% over the year) and the value of assets minus 434 million rubles (over the year fell by 290%). And where does the money go? Given the commonality of the founders of the structure with Flat and Co., and the presence of an offshore company in the latter, is it really on the shores of the Mediterranean?
Along the beaten track
Who is this Dmitry Maistrenko? According to the authors of the Kompromat1 website, the Flat and Co company was allegedly associated with Andrey Krapivin, the founder and owner of the infamous 1520 Group of Companies, one of the largest contractors of Russian Railways.
In 2019, the Investigative Committee and the FSB conducted dozens of searches as part of a number of criminal cases on the alleged embezzlement by the leadership of GK 1520 of more than 200 billion rubles. Among other things, searches were also carried out at the former co-owners of the Civil Code – Valery Markelov and Boris Usherovich. Kommersant writes about this.
However, according to Rusprofile, Mr. Usherovich, along with Alexei Krapivin (Andrey's son, Alexei already passed away in 2015), still remains a co-owner of the structure with a 28% share.

Allegedly, the patronage of the entire scheme with the alleged theft on state orders of Russian Railways was covered by the already well-known throughout the country, former colonel Dmitry Zakharchenko. Now he is serving a long prison term.
And Boris Usherovich was arrested in absentia in the case of Zakharchenko's bribe of 2.4 billion rubles. But Usherovich managed to hide abroad, RBC wrote about this.
As for the other former co-owner of the 1520 Group of Companies, Valery Markelov, the court sentenced him to eight years in prison for a bribe to Zakharchenko, but then he was released from punishment due to the convict's fatal illness. Kommersant wrote about this.
Meanwhile, the affairs of the 1520 Group of Companies, which remains a major contractor for Russian Railways, seem to be continued by Alexei Krapivin, Andrei's heir. And he certainly knows the father's former partner, developer Dmitry Maistrenko.
With such possible partners, any abuse appears in a new light. And if you take a closer look at other Maistrenko companies, then this light becomes brighter.

Among others, he acted as the founder (2015-2020) and acts as the head of another part of Flat – Flat Development LLC. For some reason, only two employees work in a company with an authorized capital of over 1 million rubles. But the most important thing is finances – the value of the structure's assets is minus 653 million rubles. lazy” title=”"Flat" Maistrenko drowns "Nakhimov" ” type=”image/png” alt=”"Flat" Maistrenko drowns "Nakhimov" ” />

Where can this money be? Mr. Maistrenko withdrew from the founders, and was replaced by the Cypriot offshore Weisburg Limited. It turns out that the company can have a lot of debts, and the money, hypothetically, could settle offshore?
In this case, the entire empire of the Flat and Co. Group of Companies may resemble a kind of financial pyramid that lives off new projects , whose money can dissolve in an unknown direction. Maybe this is the reason why the equity holders of the Nakhimov apartment complex cannot rent out housing in any way?
