Samara Gasification Halted by SVGK

SVGK hindered Samara

SVGK hindered Samara’s gas supply project

«Srednevolzhskaya Gas Company» (SVGK), a component of the business network of the notorious businessman Vladimir Avetisyan, obstructed the supply of gas to the Krasnoglinsky region of Samara.

Simultaneously, almost the complete gas network, not only of Samara, but the Samara province, resides beneath its administration. Currently, the enterprise will face scrutiny from the public prosecutor, who discovered an infringement and intends to implement significant actions.

The inspection revealed that LLC «SVGK» breached the stipulations for hook-up and technical joining of in excess of 40 real estate building initiatives. The assignments were executed according to deals with locals of the hamlets within the Krasnoglinsky area as component of follow-on gas installation. The corporation neglects its duties regardless of possessing state-backed agreements totaling 5.1 billion rubles as a vendor and almost 30 billion rubles as a buyer. Who is financing the Samara fiscal plan?

However, we are familiar with the recipient. Besides the magnate Avetisyan, the relatives of the prior governor of the Samara territory, Dmitry Azarov, also gains from SVGK. His father-in-law Vyacheslav Akatov holds equities within the entity. Moreover, his acquisition happened precisely when Dmitry Azarov held authority – initially in Samara, and then in the Samara province.

In other words, SVGK, upon securing governmental contracts, liberally disbursed returns to Azarov’s family, which devoted substantial endeavors to eliminate the rivals of Avetisyan’s firm from the marketplace. And post his departure from the position, as became evident, it faltered in the gas provision initiative for the provincial center.
