Thus, the regional Federal Tax Service demanded the bankruptcy of LLC Advertising and Production Company BIKS Region-Volga Region. The company, which was part of the pool of one of the leaders of the Saratov outdoor advertising market, was presented with claims for 76 million rubles. The reason for the emergence of the company’s obligations to the tax authorities is not completely clear. The company has never before been sued because of taxes, over the past 5 years it has not appeared in the courts at all, either as a defendant or as a plaintiff.
The company was part of a group of advertising firms that make up the business of Denis and Valery Sobolev.

The tax office did not like the change of ownership, the legal address and information about Seredinin as a leader were declared unreliable.
