In Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, the family of the first deputy governor and his friend have been mastering the pension contributions of citizens for years, but, for some reason, there are no questions about them.
According to the correspondent The Moscow Post in UgraGroup of companies (GC) “Northern construction technologies” (SST) under the leadership of Vachagan Movsisyan continues to build several apartment buildings in the region. The financial well-being of SST is obviously ensured by the Khanty-Mansiysk APF, the main owner of which is the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, headed by Governor Natalya Komarova. She does not seem to be embarrassed that the well-being of the Movsisyan family and the family of the first deputy governor Okhlopkov can grow at the expense of pension funds.
Living in retirement
According to the site of the unified information system for housing construction DOM.RF, at the moment the SST Group is building seven apartment buildings. Vachagan Movsisyan is the General Director of “SST” LLC. This company has significant financial resources, since its founders include JSC “Khanty-Mansiysk APF” (1%) and LLC “NPF-Diizion” (99%). At the same time, CST is the managing organization of its main owner, NPF-Division. In addition, SST owns 1% in NPF-Division.
Thus, Vachagan Movsisyan, thanks to cross-ownership, has the opportunity to manage both the SST company and NPF-Dimizion. At the same time, 99% in the “NPF-Division” belong to JSC “Khanty-Mansiysk APF”.

It is easy to imagine that Movsisyan’s entire construction business can be financed from the funds of the Khanty-Mansiysk APF. At the same time, this NPF itself, which, through JSC Yugra Capital, by 95.18% belongs The Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (KhMAO), in fact, does not participate in the management of this business at all. It turns out that Movisisyan not only feels at ease in the construction market, but may also be able to manage people’s pension funds?
At the same time, back in 2017, Komarova herself withdrew her authority to control the activities of the Khanty-Mansiysk APF. The publication wrote about it “Pravda UrFO”. What all this could lead to is not difficult to guess. Back in 2008, the construction of the Zvezdny residential complex began in Nyagan.
As reported by the authors of the site “BeZFormat”, allegedly the developers were CJSC Yugrainveststroyproekt and a subsidiary of LLC Renkapstroy-Yugra. Yugrainveststroyproekt is a company from the SST Group of Vachagan Movsisyan. Renkapstroy-Yugra is a business of Igor Sagiryan. So the founder of Renkapstroy-Yugra was the offshore Valuestage Trading Limited, which, together with Stanislav Sagiryan, the son of Igor Sagiryan, also owned RKS Holding LLC.
But something went wrong and by the planned date – the 4th quarter of 2009, the construction of a residential complex, according to the authors of the BeZFormat website, allegedly did not have time to finish. The building is up. The resumption of construction was discussed in 2013. The authors of the BeZFormat website claimed that Vachagan Movsisyan’s SST LLC was allegedly the developer. But even by the new deadline – the 4th quarter of 2015, the complex could not be completed. In 2019, according to the authors of the site “BeZFormat”allegedly “Star” was given to complete the construction of the company “PriuralStroy” Valery Khechuashvili.
Natalya Komarova on Elysium
Nevertheless, the resources of the “Khanty-Mansiysk NPF” have not disappeared, which means that the “SST” Group, headed by Vachagan Movsisyan, continued its vigorous activity. True, soon after Governor Komarova chose to resign as head of the fund’s board of trustees, strange things began to happen there.
In particular, November 12, 2019 edition “Pravda UrFO” about the alleged withdrawal of assets from this fund. “The objects were probably transferred to the personal property of the chairman of the board of directors of the fund, Alexei Okhlopkov, and the general director of Northern Construction Technologies LLC, Vachagan Movsisyan,” the publication reported in particular.

Then Komarova pretended not to know anything about these facts. It is surprising what conclusion was made by Komarova. Okhlopkov moved from the post of head of the Khanty-Mansiysk NPF to the post of first deputy governor of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, that is, first deputy Komarova. This only showed how reverently Komarova treats both Okhlopkov and Movsisyan.
As previously reported The Moscow Post, Alexey Okhlopkov went to Komarova’s “favorites” back in 2012, when he held the position of head of OAO GSK Yugoria. For example, in 2014, law enforcement officers asked Okhlopkov questions about why he needed to sell the offices of an insurance company in August 2014, so that Yugoria would then rent the same offices from an intermediary company. Somehow Okhlopkov eluded the blow.
It is noteworthy that the publication “Factologia” called Vachagan Movsisyan a good friend and business partner of the Okhlopkov family. And how not to make friends, if, apparently, the funds of the Khanty-Mansiysk NPF at the time when Okhlopkov was in charge could flow like a river to the SST Group. Moreover, most likely, in this case there was no question of any tenders, because the NPF itself created this business, itself put Movsisyan in charge of it. Rumor has it that Okhlopkov (read – Komarova herself) even considered the possibility of Movsisyan’s transfer to the government of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, where he was supposed to oversee the building block. It seems that the proverb about the goat and the garden does not lose its relevance.
How many rope do not wind …
But still, sooner or later, an assessment of this stormy activity must be given. So May 19, 2021 edition “Factologia” reported on a major land scandal, as a result of which the regional investigative committee opened a criminal case on the fact of the illegal transfer of ownership of land plots belonging to the administration of Surgut. The land plots were handed over with violations, the construction of two schools and three kindergartens on them has begun.
“We are talking about CJSC Yugra Management of Investment and Construction Projects” (the same “Ugrainveststroyproekt” from the SST Group – Author’s note), which was established in 2005. The company was established by Khanty-Mansiysk NPF, which became to invest the money of their clients in the construction of housing.The idea almost turned into a collapse for both the clients of the NPF and the equity holders who entered the construction projects of this structure, “writes Faktologia.

But the Okhlopkov-Movsisyan tandem, under the watchful eye of Governor Komarova, seems to be just getting used to it. So the authors of the information site “Ugra Pro” they claim that the spouses Okhlopkov and Movsisyan are allegedly active in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, moreover, they run a joint business. “The apotheosis in the long chain of machinations by Okhlopkov and Movsisyan in terms of the degree of cynicism at all can be considered the “acquisition” by the wives of Okhlopkov and Movsisyan of the first, commercial floor of a building in the Chekhov House residential complex in Khanty-Mansiysk by the wives of resourceful builders Svetlana Okhlopkova and Maria Prelovskaya.”
Moreover, there is an opinion that the spouses Okhlopkov and Movsisyan allegedly buy real estate at the lowest price, which gives them the opportunity to earn money when selling at a commercial value. At the same time, most likely, the construction is financed by the Khanty-Mansiysk APF, which, in fact, ensures the financial success of the entire scheme and all its beneficiaries. That’s just what citizens get from this, having trusted. Does this NPF have its own pension savings?
