An ecological catastrophe is brewing in the Chelyabinsk region, to which local irresponsible businessmen Yuri Zhukov and Kirill Pisarev may be related through the local crushed stone plant. Does Sberbank help them with money under the leadership of Gref?
According to the correspondent The Moscow Post in the Chelyabinsk region, the village of Novoburanovka, Agapovsky district, is covered with dust from the Biyankovsky crushed stone plant (BSCHZ). According to information “Pravda UrFO”, at the enterprise, the aspiration units failed, and as a result, people have been suffering from dust covering the ground and hovering in the air for several months. This is not only bad for people – crops have stopped growing.
There is a disaster, but the owners of the plant and officials of the relevant ministries are in no hurry to solve the problem – people turned to both the Magnitogorsk environmental prosecutor’s office and the local ministry of ecology, but the result is always the same – inspections come on the day when the enterprise is not working, therefore – they do not reveal violations. The maximum fine that was once imposed on the company amounted to 20 thousand rubles, but, of course, this did not improve the situation. What is 20 thousand rubles for such a manufacturing giant as BSHCHZ?
Vulture Gref
According to Rusprofile, the company is in huge losses, but its balance sheet as of 2021 is more than 262 million rubles.

The 100% founder of the company is NNK JSC, whose share, according to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, is pledged to Sberbank. Thus, the enterprise, in fact, is on the hook of the top management of the bank, headed by German Gref. But a hundred, if, among other things, such a situation has developed through his efforts?

The organization’s forerunner is NShchZ LLC, which is also wholly owned by NNK. By 2013, the NSCZ finally fell into decline, and in 2014 it was liquidated, and its functions were transferred to the BSCZ, which at that time had already been registered for more than 10 years, but, which is typical, the financial performance of the company has been known to us only since 2014. They amounted to more than 400 million rubles, although it was hardly possible to scrape together at least 5 million rubles from the company’s predecessor. Encumbrances of Sberbank were imposed on the BShchZ in 2017. Two years later, the company’s revenue plummeted.

Personnel games
Initially, Andrey Gudozhnikov was appointed general director of the organization. After several personnel changes in this position, during which Oleg Nikolaevich Saplin, Sergey Vladimirovich Susev and Pavel Ivanovich Anufriev alternately took the place of the general director, the ex-general director of the NSCHZ Vladimir Grigorievich Shchetinin finally became the head of the BShchZ in 2018. He was quickly replaced in this post by Boris Oskarovich Derzhavets, but on February 1, 2021, Shchetinin again took his place.
It’s funny, but already in May, Sergei Nikolaevich Bogomazov again replaced Shchetinin. This is reminiscent of a children’s riddle – who will replace the current director of the office? Judging by the logic of Shchetinin. But who will take his place in a couple of years – one can only guess (of course, provided that the company “survives” to this point) Every time he has a new replacement.
overseas assets
Let’s return to the parent company of both firms – NNK JSC. Until January of this year, this office removed the offshore companies NAC NATIONAL AGGREGATES COMPANY LIMITED and MANSENDIX HOLDINGS LIMITED from its founders, was excluded and tied to the offshore “AZETANIKS HOLDINGS LIMITED”, liquidated back in 2011 “Manifik” . As a company that has not been operating for more than 10 years, it managed to remain on the list of founders of the NOC – a topic for a separate discussion.

Through the aforementioned offshore companies, the money of the plant could be withdrawn. Is that why the factory does not repair broken equipment – the money went to the wrong place?
The exclusion of offshore companies from the structure of NOCs may indicate that either the company’s managers are afraid of inspections, including those at the BSC, which can open “financial holes” and lead to them and offshore companies, or about an early reaction to the current situation with the introduced European countries with sanctions due to the situation in Ukraine, which blocked the foreign accounts of Russian businessmen.
If this is the second option, this further strengthens our opinion that German Gref’s interests can be protected in the situation with the BCS. Does Sberbank, led by him, firmly hold the situation in his hands due to the shares that are pledged?
From earth to sky
Another interesting connection is found in the NNK company, which fully owns Sychevsky PTK. And through it also “Sotravalsky DSZ” – contact information from the page of the first company in “Rusprofile” points to a certain Natalya Nesterova.
According to the authors of the site “Novostroy M”, allegedly a person with the same name and surname is the commercial director of the construction company 3-RED, whose founders include the eldest daughter of Russian entrepreneur Alexander Pomonarenko, whose family partially owns Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport, Natalya. By the way, today Ponomarenko said that he was leaving the board of directors of Sheremetyevo “in view of the circumstances”, most likely referring to the EU sanctions imposed against him – writes RBC.

They are also trying to connect his personality with Russian officials, so that he, no less than Gref, could be aware that foreign assets may soon be under threat due to growing foreign political tensions.

Everything is intertwined
By the way, according to information from the declaration of the list of affiliated persons of the above-mentioned “Sortavala DSZ”, this company is also associated with the offshore companies “MANSENDIX HOLDINGS LIMITED” and “NAC NATIONAL AGGREGATES COMPANY LIMITED”, which until recently were the founders of NOC.

It is also interesting that 3-RED, according to information from her official website, is one of the ten largest Moscow developers and maintains partnerships with Sberbank. Through it, project financing is provided for residential complexes, which are being built by 3-RED. Does this mean that partnerships link Gref and Ponomarenko? Maybe.
In addition, according to the list of affiliated persons, the notorious Yuri Vladimirovich Zhukov was on the board of directors of NOC.

Zhukov is the founder of PIK Group, one of the largest real estate developers in Russia. He, by the way, in 2011 became the head of the “daughter” of “Sberbank” – “Sberbank Development”. “Kommersant” writes that the “daughter” itself was not created for special needs, but simply because of the good relations between the management of the corporation and Zhukov.
The same gentleman was the general director of VEB-Project Management, which is part of the VEB.RF structure of Igor Shuvalov. And the PIK Group, we recall, is now under the control of Sergei Gordeev, who is known for building up the “non-rubber” at an accelerated pace, despite the huge heap of accumulated complaints from equity holders and residents of houses erected by PIK.
Everything is allowed
For example, residents of Solntsevo Park even went out to unsanctioned protests – single pickets demanding that they keep their promise to build a school. Residential complex “Salaryevo Park” was built in the immediate vicinity of a huge landfill, the reconstruction of which was never completed – and there are a lot of such situations. Gordeev, by the way, is credited with connections with Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin and with the odious businessman, founder of Capital Group Pavel Te. It looks like a strong business tandem is emerging.
In 2014, Zhukov was detained by law enforcement officers. He was charged with coercion with the help of unidentified persons who threatened and used violence against businessman Sergei Poimanov, who owned shares in Pavlovskgranit, in order to force him to sell his shares in this company to Zhukov. Wrote about it RBC. In 2015, the case was closed for lack of evidence of the latter’s guilt. According to “evil tongues”, this could be due to the loyal attitude of Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika to the former defendant. By the way, even then, next to the name of Zhukov, the name of Gref popped up. In 2017, the Poimanov case was again resumed by the American company PPFManagement, this time the defendant was not only Zhukov, but also Gref, but nothing could be proved again – he wrote RBC. It is not clear what explains such stubbornness on the one hand and untouchability on the other.
Now Zhukov is on the management team of the Housing Finance Bank, along with Kirill Pisarev, who was also on the list of founders of PIK Group before. He was the chairman, while Zhukov was his deputy. In 2010, Pisarev left the leadership – he wrote “Kommersant”.

Pisarev is credited with connections with the criminal world – edition “Debri.DV” with reference to the textbook “Organized Crime in the Far East: Common and Regional Features”, they claim that one of the businessmen, the owner of the construction corporation “Areal-Development” Dmitry Glotov, with whom Pisarev collaborated in the implementation of the “Far Eastern Mortgage” program in Primorye, previously allegedly could was associated with crime. It is interesting that Pisarev tried to challenge the facts stated about him in the manual in court, but failed.
And what about the structure they manage in the Board of Directors, Bank BZHF JSC? In just one month, from January to February, the institution lost over 50% of its net income. Assets shrank by 4%, depositors fled the bank. One of the most important credit ratings H2 is also in the red zone.

The question arises – is there a connection here, and can funds be withdrawn from the bank. For example, on the eve of powerful sanctions restrictions, or just for the sake of profit. In any case, in this context, the people of the Agapovsky district are hardly thought of.
