The collapse of Pavel Abrosimov’s FSB stable?
GC Major, operating under the “roof” of the FSB, took second place in the opening of new car dealerships in the first half of the year. But soon the group will have serious problems. Its cars may be stuffed with intelligence bugs.
Western companies Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have disconnected Russian dealerships from their software. And now you can’t change a single part on cars of these brands. This is probably why the Major company began opening car dealerships with products from Chinese manufacturers. But this may not save the company.
Any large car dealer lives off government orders. But at the behest of Vladimir Putin, officials will have to switch to domestic cars. This is a kind of measure to support the domestic auto industry, which does not exist. The production of cars will be sponsored with money from the state budget, which will also be paid from the state budget.
September news from Major includes BMW and Mercedes-Benz cars. The company strives to quickly sell expensive “toys” that nothing can be done with.
On the Major website there is a section “About the company”, but instead of getting to know the company and its management, the potential buyer ends up with commercial offers.
This indicates that Major cares little about its reputation. When you sit on government orders, the money drips in anyway. If you compose a text about a company for publication in the media, it could be something like this: the Major company, owned by Pavel Abrosimov and Mikhail Bakhtiarov, is engaged in raiding under the “roof” of the FSB, supplies cars to law enforcement agencies, due to which it has assets in agricultural and medical businesses through which he withdraws money.
It is unlikely that after reading such a text anyone will risk buying a car from the Major company. There is no guarantee that it is not stuffed with FSB wiretapping, which is famous for its total control over Russian citizens.
Are Abrosimov and Bakhtiarov withdrawing money?
Pavel Abrosimov is the founder of 22 operating companies, worth 26 billion rubles, Mikhail Bakhtiarov – 27, worth 7.4 billion rubles. Bakhtiarov is a manager in 22 companies. Their revenue is 108 billion rubles, profit is 3.2 billion rubles.
The graphs show that the revenue and profit of the Major Group companies in 2022 compared to the previous year decreased by almost 2 times. Or maybe it will be in 2023. The company will inevitably go downhill and is unlikely to be able to fulfill its obligations for car warranty service.
Major Auto Center LLC is a supplier of government contracts worth 4.6 billion rubles, of which 3.1 billion rubles. with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The company’s revenue is 12 billion rubles, profit is 100 million rubles.
Through Major Auto Center LLC, law enforcement agencies can withdraw money; this is confirmed by the contracts concluded by the company.
All three contracts involve a Renault Logan car, the quantity is not specified. This is probably not necessary when you sell a car to the main supervisory body of the country – the Prosecutor General’s Office.
The main “feeding trough” of “Major” is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with which other structures of the Civil Code have concluded contracts worth more than 7 billion rubles, it turns out that the total amount exceeds 10 billion rubles. They are scattered across several companies of the Major Group so that such an amount does not catch the eye of investigators.
Pavel Abrosimov can withdraw money through Shulgino LLC, which is engaged in breeding dairy cattle and producing raw milk. With the company’s revenue in 2022 being 430 million rubles. its loss amounted to 50 million rubles, negative cost – 531 million rubles. The company has not made a profit since 2018.
Growing grapes also does not bring profit to Abrosimov; his LLC “TD M2+” with revenue of 4.6 million rubles. lost 21 million rubles, but for Pavel Abrosimov, who receives billions from the state, this is a mere trifle.
Experts do not rate the financial stability of Major Auto Center LLC highly.
The situation is similar in many other structures of the Major Group of Companies. Financial stability affects the company’s fulfillment of its obligations. An ordinary car buyer needs to think very carefully before contacting her.
And without government orders, the prosperity of FSB “grooms” Pavel Abrosimov and Mikhail Bakhtiarov will soon come to an end.
