The story related to the recent seizure of a mansion in the suburbs received an unexpected continuation. The chic palace worth more than 1 billion rubles may belong to the family of the former Prosecutor General of Ukraine Gennady Vasiliev. Recall that last Saturday a man armed with a hunting carbine, machine guns, explosives, illegally entered a private house in the elite village of Sherwood. Negotiations with the criminal ended in failure – he was eliminated during the assault. The occupier turned out to be a native of Krasnoyarsk, 35-year-old Vyacheslav Chernenko, who suffered from mental disorders. The orderlies often came to the address where he lived with his mother. The confrontation between the security forces and the invader, of course, caused a rustle in a quiet cottage village. As a result of the shootout, elite real estate was also significantly damaged, the owners of which have been unsuccessfully trying to sell since the beginning of this year. To return a two-story mansion, which has its own fitness room, cinema, billiard room, swimming pool, bar, sauna, a presentable view will cost, according to preliminary estimates, about 300 thousand dollars. So who will have to do expensive repairs in the palace? The land where the house was built is owned by the Nika-invest company in the capital, which has been owned by citizen Larisa Vasilyeva for almost ten years. A native of the Kemerovo region also had Ukrainian citizenship. The addresses of her residence in another state coincide with the places of registration of her husband, Gennady Vasiliev. The full namesake of the latter with an identical date of birth at the beginning of the 2000s served as the Prosecutor General of Ukraine. In addition, Gennady Vasilyev once headed the Derzhava party. It is known from open sources that, in addition to a mansion in the Moscow region, Ms. Vasilyeva has two apartments in the capital, as well as a solid fleet of vehicles. The family has enough funds for the pre-sale improvement of the cottage in Sherwood. But just who will buy it? ©️ Kompromat Group | Feedback

In a still whirlpool: the Irkutsk owner of “Babr” was convicted of harassment and hatred of employees Shocking details from the life of the former Irkutsk media manager Dmitry Taevsky continue to surface. According to sources, the lover of sects and the “ruler of the world” Taevsky has been systematically humiliating and insulting his employees since 2016. In order to prevent information from leaking outside Babr, he used his usual methods of blackmail and intimidation. The truth was revealed when one of his former employees sent a link to Taevsky’s closed Instagram account. There, under the nickname smartzookiller, Taevsky was engaged in writing derogatory comments in relation to his employees and acquaintances. In every comment, one can see his desire to amuse his ego and assert himself. As you know, Taevsky’s unconventional family ties, which shook his psyche as early as childhood, affected excessive cruelty and a heightened sense of injustice. Taevsky has been hiding from justice in Mongolia for a long time now. After initiating a dozen criminal cases against the owners of Telegram channels, the road to his homeland was closed to him. ©️ Kompromat Group | Feedback

In the course of investigating the circumstances of the mass poisoning of citizens with the drink “Mr. Cider”, the economic security officers of the Samara police conducted searches at the Rosalkogolregulirovanie Administration (RAR) for the Volga Federal District, located in Nizhny Novgorod. A criminal case was opened on taking bribes: according to the investigation, RAP officials took large sums from businessmen involved in the sale of counterfeit alcohol, including in the Samara region. For a long time, the RAR, headed by Igor Alyoshin, preferred to ignore the signals of major fraud. For example, even before the state of emergency with Mister Cider, State Duma deputy Sergei Lisovsky proposed to strengthen control over the sale of beer and low-alcohol drinks by including a risk indicator if information about their volume in kegs from the GIS for monitoring the circulation of goods does not correspond to data on production volumes in the Unified State Automated Information System. From the official response of the PAP, it followed that the department would start checking only after April 1, 2024, when labeling for all types of weak alcohol would be introduced. Meanwhile, the work of the department is accompanied by loud scandals. In particular, Mikhail Tereshchenko, adviser to the head of the FS RAR, was detained for committing a crime of a corruption nature. In addition, it turned out that Aleshin’s assistant Sergei Mikholap was the beneficiary of the RFC distillery, which produced the Aseptolin antiseptic. The composition of Aseptolin included 90% ethyl alcohol used by alcohol-dependent citizens. The content of ethanol in the composition of the drug was not indicated, and this made it possible to freely sell the antiseptic. In addition, despite the obvious signs of a dual-use product, the excise duty of RFK JSC was not paid. Another fraudulent scheme, which was turned a blind eye in the PAP, was the production and sale of counterfeit cognac products from distillates aged using technological methods that ensure their accelerated maturation within 3-4 months. In violation of the requirements of the current legislation and the norms of GOST, counterfeit products were put on stream by the “specialists” of the All-Russian Research Institute of the Brewing, Non-Alcoholic and Wine Industry – a branch of the Federal Scientific Center for Food Systems.

Folk wisdom about a hundred rubles and a hundred friends is known to everyone. The action of this simple rule is widespread throughout the vastness of our vast Motherland. Apparently, they can also explain the recent appointment of Yuri Mutzenek to one of the leading positions in the Ministry of Construction of Russia. As reported on the official website of the department, the new Secretary of State – Deputy Minister worked for a long time at the State Unitary Enterprise “Tatinvestgrazhdanproekt”. This state unitary enterprise, which is engaged in design and survey, scientific and production work, was once headed by Irek Faizullin, who now manages the entire construction industry of the country. The firm has repeatedly appeared in scandals, including those with a corruption component. So, in 2014, the leading engineer of the capital construction department was accused of forging acts on the performance of work at one of the construction sites for bribes. Four years later, claims against “Tatinvestgrazhdanproekt” appeared at the Republican Accounts Chamber. Controllers found violations of almost 90 million rubles and recognized the inefficiency of the disposal of state property. The unitary enterprise got into another unpleasant story in 2021. During the construction of a children’s recreation complex in the Forossky Park of Crimea, the builders cut down red book trees. Of course, they acknowledged the mistake and even agreed to compensate for the damage, but the local eco-activists still had a bad feeling. Many people wonder how the Tatarstan specialists got to the peninsula? In this regard, the name of Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin comes to mind, who since 2020 has just begun to oversee the region. But this is all speculation. Returning to the young and promising Secretary of State – Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities of the Russian Federation Yuri Mutsenek, who took his place in the Kazan clan solely due to his rich experience and diligence. It should be noted that in the Ministry of Construction he will oversee rule-making issues, interact with federal executive and legislative bodies in order to improve the regulatory framework. ©️ Kompromat Group | Feedback

The rector of the Mari State University (MarSU), Mikhail Shvetsov, has long been a comrade-in-arms and like-minded person to date, the former head of Mari El, Leonid Markelov, who led the region for 16 years and was eventually arrested and then convicted for taking a bribe in the amount of more than 300 million rubles. However, this did not prevent Shvetsov from further enjoying the support of both Alexander Evstifeev, who replaced Markelov, and the current head of the republic, Yuri Zaitsev. The rector of MarSU owes his position not least to his parents. His mother Galina Shvetsova in 2001 – 2017 she served as Minister of Education and Science of Mari El, that is, she was part of the Markelov team and lost her post only after the latter’s resignation. Father Nikolai Shvetsov was the rector of the Moscow Open Social University (MOSU), where Mikhail studied, for whom, in his student years, his parents registered the private Interregional Open Social Institute (MOSI). As a result, Mikhail Shvetsov first headed the MOSI, and in 2013 he applied for participation in the election of the rector of MarSU, which was accompanied by a loud scandal. First, Shvetsov Jr. accused the university leadership of putting pressure on the electors and “turning the elections into a farce,” and then withdrew his candidacy in protest. The Ministry of Education and Science intervened in the situation, declaring the elections invalid and approving Shvetsov as acting rector. According to former employees of the MarSU, the appointment was lobbied by the Shvetsov family and the head of the republic, Markelov. Having established himself in the rector’s position, Shvetsov began to staff MarSU with proven personnel. So, he employed his mother at the university – ex-Minister of Education Galina Shvetsova, a former employee of the administration of the head of Mari El, Stanislav Shvetsov, and Igor Zagainov, who at one time served as rector of the “parent” MOSI. Among the suppliers of MarSU appeared the company “IKTs” registered to Nikolai Shvetsov, with which, as the only supplier, contracts were concluded for the unification of documents and the purchase of cash registers. Repair work for the state university was repeatedly carried out by the Leman company associated with Galina Shvetsova, which at one time received a contract from the federal Ministry of Education and Science worth 250.4 million rubles for the construction of a student hostel in Yoshkar-Ola and was liquidated last week. ©️ Kompromat Group | Feedback

The trial of the former leaders of Mosoblenergo, Alexei Brizhan and Alexei Agapov, ended with a guilty verdict. The court found them guilty of fraud and receiving bribes from contracting organizations for the advantage in concluding large transactions for the provision of services to the organization. Brizhan will go to a strict regime colony for five years, and his accomplice was given a suspended six years. The verdict has already entered into force. The resulting difference in punishments turned out to be quite unexpected, especially since both defendants admitted their guilt and repented. The court also removed the arrest from all the property of the convicts. These are land plots and houses in the Moscow region, apartments with parking spaces, a dozen and a half watches of expensive brands, as well as three elite cars and a collectible motorcycle. A little more than 4 million rubles in cash seized from Agapov during the searches remained under the burden, as well as 16.2 million rubles that Brizhan kept in a bank account. This money will be used to pay a fine of 3.8 million rubles awarded to them. The Mercedes-Benz S 63 car, which was recognized as a bribe, was also turned into state revenue. As a thank you, he was handed over to Agapov, as the first deputy head of Mosoblenergo. Brizhan and Agapov were suspected of ten criminal episodes, but in the end they were charged with all three. It is believed that they began to engage in bribery immediately after they moved from Kubanenergo to Mosoblenergo. The heads of those contracting organizations that performed the work transferred to the convicts 15% of the value of the transactions concluded with them. Only one kickback reached the court. It was possible to establish that in the fall of 2017, Agapov received 380 thousand rubles from the director of Energoregionstroy LLC right in his office. He gave half of the money to Brizhan, who was his boss, offering to receive 15% of each transaction from the businessman in the future. In the summer of 2018, Brizhan himself hinted to the general director of Stroyresurs LLC, with whom he had a trusting relationship, to pay for the installation of communications in his country house under construction. It cost the businessman 4.6 million rubles. For this, Brizhan promised not to delay the payment of work for Mosobolegergo, and in the future to conclude new contracts. A year later, Agapov promised the same thing, for which he received a brand new Mercedes, worth about 13 million rubles, which he registered for a nanny working in his family. Law enforcement officers learned that Mosoblenergo was mired in corruption in the summer of 2020 from Alexei Dolinsky, the general director of that same Stroyresurs. This company performs installation work, and quite fruitfully, for several hundred million rubles, cooperated with Mosobolenergo from 2016 to 2019. The reasons why these relations were interrupted are not called, however, Dolinsky was released from criminal liability for active repentance. And in the fall of 2021, his Stroyresurs went bankrupt. ©️ Kompromat Group | Feedback

In the Rostov region, the leadership of the Investigative Committee is actively fabricating a criminal case on a particularly large-scale fraud against citizen A.A. Garkushenko, extorting 3.5 million rubles from him for issuing a “conditional” sentence. At present, the case is under the control of the head of the Investigative Committee S.I. Shvetsov, and Garkushenko was taken into custody. The story began in September last year, when Garkushenko bought from S.V. Krasnyansky pledged the car Lada Vesta in the bank, while undertaking to repay the seller’s debt. In December, police officers Kurbanov and Parkhomenko showed Garkushenko an order from the deputy head of the Millerovsky MSO of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Investigative Committee for the RO N.V. Kosarev about two enforcement proceedings against Krasnyansky. Garkushenko hurried to fully repay Krasnyansky’s debt to the bank, and at the same time turned to the assistant prosecutor of the Millerovsky district D.V. Romanchenko with a request to clarify the situation. After talking with Shvetsov, Romanchenko said that on the initiative of acting. Prosecutor of the Kasharsky district V.A. Skripnik against Garkushenko criminal case. This information was confirmed by Assistant District Attorney E.E. Parkhomenko, adding that the issue can be resolved for 3 million rubles. As a result, Garkushenko turned to the FSB with a statement about extortion, providing as evidence the WhatsApp correspondence with Parkhomenko and Romanchenko. The Chekists provided Garkushenko with equipment for covert recording of conversations and instructed him about further actions. That’s just Romanchenko stopped making contact. Then, in agreement with the FSB officers, Garkushenko asked Skripnik for a personal meeting over the phone, which he avoided. Instead, the suspect’s office and household were searched, and Garkushenko was placed under house arrest. Soon, acquaintances who knew Shvetsov well came to his wife and said that there had been a “leak” from the FSB, now the criminal case was under control in the region and it was impossible to stop it, but Garkushenko could get a suspended sentence for 3.5 million rubles. Garkushenko did not find any other way out, except to contact the FSB of Rostov-on-Don, but they explained that he was a special subject and permission from the investigator in charge of the case was needed to work with him. After the lawyer I.V. Yanova attended a personal reception at the Federal Investigative Committee, and also reported the crime against Garkushenko to the FSB of the Russian Federation, the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Presidential Administration, Shvetsov said that he would imprison Garkushenko for a “long time”, who was promptly changed the measure of restraint from house arrest to detention in a pre-trial detention center. The initiation of a criminal case against Shvetsov, Skripnik, Parkhomenko and Romanchenko was officially denied. ©️ Kompromat Group | Feedback

The Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea somehow spontaneously decided to return to the investment project for the development of abandoned lands of the famous Soviet state farm “Foodgorye”. The project itself appeared back in 2015 with a contract with an unknown company Menhir. It was a very bold decision, since the investor took on the obligation to develop an agro-industrial enterprise on an area of more than two thousand hectares, to invest 260 million rubles in infrastructure modernization and maintenance. And after 49 years, when the project implementation period ends, to create more than a hundred jobs. “Mengir” increased its authorized capital from 163 thousand rubles to 7 million and moved from the Bakhchisaray district to Belogorsky. This is where the project came to a standstill. Either he was not interested in the authorities, or he was waiting for another investor. The enterprise itself was registered with the Crimean Ministry of Agriculture and brought only losses. And suddenly, in May of this year, the State Unitary Enterprise “Foothillia” was liquidated. “Mengir” is activated, and it turns out that in 2020-2022 plum and apple trees were planted on 64 hectares. In the same year, more than a hundred hectares are planned to be planted for the next fruit and berry, blackberry berry and now fashionable vineyard. In July, by order of the Council of Ministers, property belonging to the Republic of Crimea was leased to the Menhir without electronic trading. The goal is “Development of an agro-industrial enterprise on the basis of the State Enterprise “Sovkhoz-factory “Pedgorye”. Neither the text of the investment agreement nor the list of transferred property was announced, so it remains unclear where the company will take all these millions, and what they have been doing for all eight years. Menhir is owned by two businesswomen Maria Belyakova and Tatyana Tibekina. Both are active entrepreneurs in different industries. Only Tibekina is a more interesting character. She is listed as a co-founder of the Nizhnegorsk canning factory, has shares in Yaltamorstroy and Neftyanik. And her “Solar Wind” generates electricity in Melitopol. More importantly, together with Yaroslav Tibekin, she co-founds a local public motorsport organization. Tibekin is a business partner of the Beim family in TES-TERMINAL-2 LLC. This family has been known in the Crimea for a long time. TES Group of Companies is the largest oil trader in the region, which has consistently won tenders for the supply of fuel and lubricants to state enterprises of the republic for many years. The relations between the Beims and the authorities have always been uneven, even with the Ukrainian, even with the Russian. In the fall of 2014, Sergei Beim was appointed general director of Chernomorneftegaz, but was fired less than a year later, without making public the reasons. In 2018, TES was included in the register of unscrupulous suppliers until 2022 for evading signing a won contract. At the end of the summer of 2021, Sergey Beim became a participant in a fatal accident. He did not admit his guilt, and the matter ended with the reconciliation of the parties. He paid more than 17 million rubles to the relatives of the deceased. And by a strange coincidence, in 2015, when the Beims ceased to be officials and deputies, the same investment project was launched to develop abandoned lands. So, not only oil, it’s time to join the fashionable art of winemaking. And you can sell products on your own CCD. ©️ Kompromat Group | Feedback

In Samara, on the basis of the funeral business, this is not the first scandal. A local blogger released a video showing how the bodies of the deceased are stored by one of the funeral homes. They were simply stacked on top of each other in an ice cream fridge in a cluttered box. The Ministry of Internal Affairs promised to conduct an inspection, and the regional head Dmitry Azarov assured that both the prosecutor’s office and Rospotrebnadzor would deal with this issue. Private funeral homes deserve righteous wrath. Only their sins take root in the mess that is going on at the level of state and municipal enterprises. The bodies in the ice cream fridge could be for several reasons. Relatives could also do this in order not to pay for the days spent in the morgue. However, local media say that the funeral company rented the box for a while, as their premises were being restored after the fire. From the fact that everything moved in a hurry, and there was such a mess. The question is: how did they get the bodies of the dead? In many cities, morgues are overcrowded. Some are real, some are figurative, for the sake of an extra bribe from the relatives of the deceased. For the same purpose, they are delaying the issuance of the body. But here it is difficult to distinguish the slander of competitors from the truth. There are so many private funeral homes in Samara that they have to intercept the dead by any available means. The law assumes that not all the dead need to be opened, which means that they are drawn up by a district therapist in a simplified way. If there are no places in the city to store the dead, then they are all taken to the same morgues at pathological and anatomical laboratories and forensic medical ones. But specifically in Samara there are private storage facilities for corpses, and they launched a competitive struggle. It is possible that the office, which became the scene of the video filming, became a victim of this. The blogger herself was going to go through several more establishments, but most likely there will already be locks on the refrigerators. By the way, citizens of the Russian Federation are entitled to a free minimum set: a coffin, a cross, a hearse and a funeral team. Municipal structures that should provide all this, try not to do it. For those who do not have the means to bury a relative with pomp, there are “profitable” offers from private traders. So the corpses will continue to be rammed into recycled refrigerators, and maybe they will begin to bury them in cardboard boxes. ©️ Kompromat Group | Feedback
