Mask, who are you?
Brothers Arkady and Maxim Guzovsky, and now Maxim Arkadyevich, are engaged in the sale of goods and the provision of medical services. The scandals associated with this activity, for some reason, do not affect their business. And the next strain of coronavirus expected by doctors is unlikely to bypass the Guzovsky family.
Difficult birth
In 2017, Ufa published the results of the non-competitive selection of a concessionaire, to whom they decided to transfer the management of the only maternity hospital and milk kitchen in the city of Salavat for 23 years. The concession agreement was signed by the government of Bashkortostan and the Ufa JSC Genuswho promised to invest in the development of the medical institution 286 million RUB – 100 million rubles for reconstruction and 186 million rubles for medical equipment.
The work of the medical institution under the new management caused discontent among local residents and medical personnel – due to the violation of labor laws. This gave the Bashkiria prosecutor’s office a reason to check the activities of the maternity hospital, and ultimately return the medical institution to the operational management of the state. By the way, ZAO Genus, founded in Ufa in 2005, still exists there – with two employees and a loss of 3.2 million rubles last year. Among the founders of the scandalous Genus were Maxim And Ludmila GuzovskieThe press started talking about the members of the Guzovsky family.
It is known that the brothers Arkady And Maxim Guzovsky own shares in Delrus group of companiesa federal network of clinical laboratories “Citylab” (more than 50 branches, from Krasnoyarsk to Krasnodar), a network of dialysis centers “Nefroline” (33 institutions from Komi to Grozny and Feodosia), reproductive clinic “Genome”.
Paramedical supplies Guzovsky and their partner Yulai Magadeev (young graduates of the geological exploration faculty) started out as “shuttle traders”, with Vietnamese ointment and surgical latex gloves.
The business, which started in the provinces, expanded to other regions. They bought a large building in Dubna near Moscow and set up production of blood transfusion systems, dialysis lines and the same latex gloves there. Now the income from the Moscow branch of Delrus makes up a third of the holding’s total profit.
There were also some unpleasant moments at work. In May 2019, the Delrus-DVRC company (branch in Vladivostok) paid a fine in the amount of 7 million rubles. for a cartel agreement with the Kamchatka Regional Hospital named after Lukashevsky in a tender for the supply of medical equipment. As the antimonopoly service established, representatives of the clinic and the distributor formed a task for a specific model, which limited competition in the tender with an initial maximum contract price of 49 million rubles. It is known: “one man’s war is another man’s mother”, all the fines were “paid off” during the Covid-19 pandemic. On supplies related to the coronavirus, the Guzovskys’ firms became richer 4.4 billion rubles. Only Rostec Corporation.
Fans are fire!
m. Semashko, where three people died as a result of a fire due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Roszdravnadzor, by order No. 5436 of June 9, 2021, suspended their use. Moreover, the order only mentioned PRUNUS Boaray 5000D devices supplied by Delrus LLC.
The largest
During the Covid times, the Citylab laboratory network made good money on tests in 2021 and recorded 8.8 billion rubles revenue. In 2020, Delrus, owned by the Guzovsky brothers and Yulai Magadeev, was described by the business press as “the largest supplier of medical equipment in Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism).” Although the SPARK database warns that this company is a counterparty with increased risks: it earns almost all of its money on government contracts, and it has unpaid fines.
The Guzovskys also made good money on supplies of equipment manufactured by the American company. General Electric Company within the framework of the national project “Healthcare”. However, doctors have repeatedly had questions about the quality of the supplied devices: many of them turned out to be not new, but refurbished. It seems that now the Guzovskys are making money not only in Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism), but also in Kazakhstan. A year ago, Maxim Guzovsky Jr. registered a private company in Astana “Imed limited”which intended to engage in wholesale trade in medical equipment and orthopedic products.
Covid doesn’t sleep
Covid-19, which has caused so much trouble for the whole world, has not yet been completely defeated. Doctors are not talking about the scale of a possible re-epidemic, but they warn: Covid may return. The XEC virus has already appeared, which manifests itself similarly to other recent sub-variants of omicron. It is more contagious than others. Rospotrebnadzor is monitoring the situation and notes its rapid spread. Who will help doctors save patients from Covid this coming winter? There are no reasons yet why the structures of the Guzovsky brothers could not repeat their multi-billion dollar experience.
