Igor seagull condition. The youngest son of the Prosecutor General of Chaika established a construction company in the Crimea

Igor Chaika, the youngest son of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yuri Chaika, was awarded a presidential diploma, reports Znak.com. The award took place in the summer of 2015, when, according to Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin knew about compromising material on the sons of the head of the Prosecutor General's Office. In early December, an investigation by the Anti-Corruption Foundation about the sons of Yuri Chaika was published.

Honorary Diploma "For merits in the implementation of effective projects innovative development Moscow region and active social activity" Igor Chaika received in August of this year by order of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Information about this was published on the official Internet portal of legal information. Then Chaika had just left the post of adviser to the governor of the Moscow region to do business projects.

Meanwhile, the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the results of the anti-corruption investigation into the business of the children of the Prosecutor General, conducted by the Anti-Corruption Foundation, said that the information contained in the investigation was available back in June.

The Kremlin also said that information about the business of the family of the Prosecutor General of Russia Yuri Chaika is not of interest, since Chaika's children are adults. Yuri Chaika stated that the information presented in the FBK investigation "is deliberately false and has no basis in fact." After that, the Anti-Corruption Foundation filed a lawsuit in court for the protection of honor and dignity.

FBK last week published an investigative film about the sons of Russian Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika - Artem and Igor. Most of the materials are devoted to the eldest son of the Prosecutor General Artem Chaika. In particular, the investigation alleges that the son of the Prosecutor General owns expensive real estate in Greece and Switzerland, the money for the purchase of which he received at the expense of a business that thrives allegedly thanks to his father's connections. In addition, the report shows the connections of business partner Artem Chaika with the gang of Sergei Tsapok, a well-known person involved in the high-profile murder of 12 people in the village of Kushchevskaya, Krasnodar Territory, in the gang. Igor Chaika is getting richer by getting contracts, and the same people who support his brother Artyom are employed in his business, the FBK investigation said. The government of the Moscow region refused to stop working with Igor Chaika.

Igor Chaika

Igor Chaika graduated from the Moscow Law Academy. Shortly after graduating from the university in February 2014, he was appointed advisor on culture, sports and youth policy to the Governor of the Moscow Region Andrey Vorobyov.

In July of this year, a message was published on the website of the government of the Moscow Region about the dismissal of Igor Chaika from the post of adviser and his refusal to take the post of deputy prime minister of the regional government. "I decided to refuse this offer, because all this time I did not stop studying entrepreneurial activity, and those projects that I currently have in implementation or in the launch status require daily operational support. And, of course, I have certain obligations in business. Therefore, based on the priority, I decided to give up the post of deputy chairman of the government and work in business for the time being," the son of the prosecutor general explained.

He promised not to leave the Moscow region and to implement various social projects for extra-budgetary money. As an adviser to Governor Vorobyov, he oversaw the reconstruction of museums, the development of navigation tourism infrastructure, the construction and reconstruction of parks, the construction of sports and recreation centers and sports flat structures within walking distance.

In October, Vedomosti became interested in Igor Chaika's business. The publication claimed that the portfolio of orders of his company exceeds 300 billion rubles, primarily contracts with Russian Railways and Moscow. As stated, by the age of 27, the young man managed to try his hand at credit brokerage and financial consulting, landscaped public spaces, carried out state contracts for lighting the Crimean flyover and Novospassky bridge, illuminated Novorossiysk and Armavir, laid out parks, almost went bankrupt in the production of shoes and quick-heating semi-finished products, he was a partner of VTB in a large development project and took out the garbage under the motto "Let it always be clean."

At the same time, at the time of receiving the award, he was only 25 years old.

The youngest son of the Prosecutor General of Russia Yuri Chaika, businessman Igor Chaika, established the South Coast construction company in Crimea, according to SPARK data.

Igor Chaika registered the company on April 24 in the urban-type settlement of Nikita near Yalta. The company's CEO is Ivan Baukin, who already manages two funds founded by Chaika Jr. It's about about charitable foundation named after the centurion M.Ya. Seagulls and about the Center for Social Initiatives of the Yaroslavl Region. The authorized capital of the South Coast is 1 million rubles, the main activity is the construction of residential and non-residential buildings.

According to the registration data, new company Igor Chaika plans to carry out about 40 activities, including work as a tour operator, who are also entitled to provide excursion services.

The emergence of a new company in SPARK, Chaika Jr., drew the attention of the publication Life.

At the time of publication, a representative of Igor Chaika did not respond to RBC's request.

Igor Chaika was previously RBC, which highly appreciates the investment attractiveness of the Crimea and, together with partners, is considering the possibility of buying land for the construction of a luxury hotel. He also did not rule out that he could purchase an already operating sanatorium on the peninsula and reconstruct it in the future. In this context, Chaika Jr. mentioned the Zori Rossii sanatorium near Yalta - now it belongs to the Presidential Administration.

At the end of March, the structures of Igor Chaika up to 75% of their stake in Beteltrans - the largest manufacturer reinforced concrete sleepers price Russia | The T-industry company Chaika Jr. had previously owned 50% minus one share in this enterprise.

A year earlier, Igor Chaika, the Russian Export company, which is engaged in wholesale trade grain, seeds and feed for farm animals, as well as wholesale trade in coffee, tea and cocoa. The company consolidates goods of Russian manufacturers and transports them, customs clearance, certification and further sale to China.

In May 2016, it became that the company "Agro-Region" Igor Chaika will spend 2.5 billion rubles. for the construction of a mushroom growing complex in the Moscow region.

In August 2015, RBC learned that a company controlled by Chaika received two 15-year contracts for garbage collection in Moscow districts, for which the structure of the prosecutor general's son was to receive 42.6 billion rubles.

From February 2014 to July 2015, Igor Chaika worked as an adviser to the Governor of the Moscow Region Andrey Vorobyov on a voluntary basis on sports, culture, tourism and youth affairs. After that, as Chaika Jr. himself stated, he decided "to work in business for the time being." According to Yuri Chaika, he is in the business that his sons are engaged in. “The sons achieve everything by their own labor, they are smart guys, with brains. I did not attach them anywhere, both created their own business. From scratch! Both the younger and the older,” Chaika said.

The business of the sons of the Prosecutor General Chaika was mentioned in the investigation of the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) Alexei Navalny called “The Seagull. Crime drama in five parts. All Navalny's accusations against Igor Chaika were then unsubstantiated. “Your colleagues [journalists] sorted through the publications that were bit by bit, and they came to the conclusion that the arguments given by various kinds of people are absolutely untrue,” he told reporters.

Especially for Crimea.Realities

The son of the Prosecutor General of Russia, Igor Chaika, said that sanctions are against him and he will do business in Crimea. As it turned out, his company plans to acquire one of the most famous Crimean sanatoriums squeezed out by Russia, as well as a number of other objects.

Businessman, son of the Prosecutor General of Russia Yuri Chaika, announced its intention to develop tourism infrastructure in the Crimea.

“I do business throughout Russian Federation Moreover, we are actively moving towards the placement of tourist facilities on the territory of Crimea. I am actively doing business in Russia. And I will do business in Crimea, and sanctions, as they say, are on my side,” the businessman said.

Representative of the "golden" youth

Igor Chaika was born on January 1, 1988. In 2011, he graduated from the Institute of Private International Law of the Moscow State Law Academy named after O.E. Kutafin. While still a sophomore, he began to do business. He was the founder of a number of companies, including Innovations of Light LLC, Aqua Solid LLC, Golden Age Company LLC.

“Since my second year at the institute, I have been doing business, from food production to landscaping, the development of public spaces and the creation of the architectural appearance of cities,” Igor Chaika said in an interview with Izvestia in 2014.

He usually did business with Alexander Tsurkan, Alexander Ponomarev and Denis Galagan- They were co-founders. These three businessmen in 2008, just when the 20-year-old Chaika was in his second year, created the first joint company - Dealsa, which provided credit brokerage and financial consulting services. For 3% of the loan amount, the company helped those who wanted to get a mortgage, pawnshop or commercial loan from banks.

The companies of Chaika Jr. and his partners tried their hand at various types business - from the production of shoes to the installation of outdoor lighting and waste sorting. Then Igor Chaika decided to go into civil service, tried to distance himself from business - rewrote it to partners. In February 2014, he became an adviser to the Governor of the Moscow Region on sports, culture, tourism and youth affairs. And among other things, he immediately announced his desire to take up parks near Moscow. Structures close to him already had experience in this area.

Analysts of the Anti-Corruption Foundation believe that Chaika's children are "scrolling" a colossal flow of funds through Swiss accounts

In the summer of 2015, he left the post of adviser to the governor, deciding to focus on business projects again. Chaika was an adviser on a voluntary basis, funding from the Russian Ministry of Culture was clearly insufficient to implement his ambitious plans, said one of the former colleagues of the prosecutor general's son. Chaika realized that he could not rise above the adviser, but there were plans, notes another employee of the Moscow Region administration. In an interview with Izvestia in 2014, Chaika did say that "the scenario" of his appointment as deputy governor is being considered.
Since 2013, Chaika Jr. has controlled the Lausanne-based law firm F.T. conseils. In March 2015, he sold a 40% stake to his own brother Artem. Analysts of the Anti-Corruption Foundation believe that with the help of this legal cover, Chaika's children "scroll" through the Swiss accounts a colossal flow of financial resources.

In 2016, Igor Chaika registered the Russian Export company, which is engaged in the wholesale trade of grain, seeds and feed for farm animals, as well as the wholesale trade of coffee, tea and cocoa. The company consolidates goods of Russian manufacturers and carries out their transportation, customs clearance, certification and further sale to China.

In May 2016, it became known that Igor Chaika's Agro-Region company would spend 2.5 billion rubles on the construction of a mushroom growing complex in the Moscow region.

At the end of March 2017, the structures of Igor Chaika increased their stake in Beteltrans, the largest manufacturer of reinforced concrete sleepers in Russia, to 75%. The T-industry company of Chaika Jr. had previously owned 50% minus one share in this enterprise.

Igor Chaika himself spoke about the help of an influential father as follows: “He, like all parents, is very worried and every time reminds me that“ this is a huge responsibility, you have no right to disgrace the surname. He also said that his father "helps with cuffs" and that "in a worldly way he gives me advice, and I listen to this advice."

Under investigation"

At the end of 2015, the Anti-Corruption Foundation of the Russian oppositionist Alexei Navalny (FBK - author) published an investigation into the business of the sons of Russian Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika. The investigation continued for a year and a half. Based on its results, the FBK doubted that the business of the Chaika family was legal.

All the facts revealed during the investigation are presented in a 40-minute film. The FBK investigation claims that Igor Chaika “has a multi-billion dollar business fully tied to government contracts” and “wins state contracts throughout the country – from equipping Olympic roads to planting trees in capital parks.”

In the same 2015, Vedomosti reported that the order portfolio of Igor Chaika's companies exceeded 300 billion rubles. His biggest business is contract work for Russian Railways and Moscow. “Igor Yuryevich was looking for himself, tried different businesses, but it turned out that it was most profitable to develop partnerships with government agencies,” one of his acquaintances explained.

RBC, in its investigation, found out with whom the companies that won tenders in Moscow for almost 50 billion rubles over the past few years were connected, and confirmed that a fifteen-year contract for garbage collection in Moscow districts went to a company associated with the youngest son of the Prosecutor General.

"Sunset" in the Crimea

A little over a year ago, Igor Chaika became the founder of a company in the Crimea. As follows from the data of the SPARK database, the Chaika company can carry out about 40 types of activities, including construction activities and work as a tour operator.

According to the documents, YuBK LLC was registered on April 24, 2017 in the village of Nikita. The main founder of the company is Igor Yurievich Chaika. The General Director is Ivan Baukin. Baukin already manages two funds founded by Chaika Jr. We are talking about the charitable foundation named after the centurion M.Ya. Seagulls and about the Center for Social Initiatives of the Yaroslavl Region. The authorized capital of "South Coast" is 1 million rubles, the main activity is the construction of residential and non-residential buildings.

Chaika is considering the possibility of acquiring the Zori Rossii sanatorium in Crimea. This is one of the tastiest morsels in the Crimean sanatorium business

Information that Igor Chaika plans to build or buy a hotel complex on the southern coast of Crimea for subsequent reconstruction appeared in early March. According to Chaika, new complex will have to become either a boarding house, or medical center with SPA. Chaika added that if it is a hotel, it will include all inclusive, ultra all inclusive, half-board systems. It was also reported that Chaika is considering the possibility of acquiring the Zori Rossii sanatorium in Crimea, which belongs to the Administration of the Russian President.
And so, just the other day, during a break between sessions of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Igor Chaika told reporters that he intended to invest in a hotel complex in Crimea.

According to him, the total investment, including the acquisition of the facility, will be about 3.5 billion rubles, and clarity in the negotiations should come before the end of July. The businessman also noted that his company has certain agreements on the acquisition of several sanatoriums of the Soviet period built on the southern coast of Crimea. On the this moment Chaika's representatives are at the final stage of purchasing the property. In particular, negotiations are underway to acquire the Zori Rossii sanatorium.

Note that this is one of the most tasty morsels in the Crimean sanatorium business, one of its pearls.

Sanatorium "Zarya" was put into operation in 1985, a year later, by order of the 4th Main Directorate under the Ministry of Health of the RSFSR, it was renamed the sanatorium complex "Zori Rossii". After 1991 it was called "Dawns of Ukraine". It is located 27 km from Yalta in the Ponizovka region, in a mountain amphitheater between Simeiz and Foros, which is bordered by capes Kikeneiz and Uzun. It includes five buildings connected into one building, a medical building, a cinema and concert hall for 500 seats, restaurants and bars, and a gym. The territory of the sanatorium is almost 10 hectares.

According to the plan of financial and economic activity for 2017-2019, FSBI "Sanatorium" Zori Rossii "expects to earn on paid services 162.05 million rubles, which is only 40% more than the expected costs. The sanatorium does not receive funds from the federal budget of neighboring Russia. Data about financial indicators sanatorium "Dawns of Russia" for the past years is not in the public domain.

In 2017 and 2018, the official website states that "the resort does not accept tourists due to special services." In other words, VIPs rest there.
Let me remind you once again, as one of Igor Chaika's acquaintances said, the son of the Prosecutor General of Russia has long understood that it is most profitable to work with government agencies, that is, receiving payment from the state budget. As you know, in Russia, anyone is not allowed to "develop" budgetary funds.
Nikolai Gogol in "Dead Souls" wrote: "... a scammer sits on a scammer and drives a scammer. All Christ sellers. There is only one decent person there: the prosecutor; and even that one, to tell the truth, is a pig.”

True, Gennady Timchenko and Garik Makhachkala were also taken into business. That is why the Moscow region is mired in corruption with a "family" prosecutor. Therefore, landfills without any sorting and refilling poison entire areas with stench. Naturally, Mr. Zakharov does not notice how the local government was defeated, jailing all the dissatisfied, violating all possible laws, collecting all the powers and finances in the sticky hands of Vorobyov.

Chaika and Zakharov did not notice how I was not allowed to participate in the pre-trial detention center, contrary to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, even a letter from the chairman of the Central Election Commission Ella Pamfilova to the Prosecutor General's Office did not help.

Its representatives came to this conclusion by comparing the addresses: the company is registered in the same room of an office building in Lausanne as F.T. Consei. The connection of this company with Chaika is also confirmed by the fact that the building of the Geneva office of Juridical House also houses the firm of Bogdan Lisurenko, in whose house Artem Chaika is registered.

Like on rails: how does the son of Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika make a living

The 38-year-old son of the Attorney General managed to build a diversified business empire, whose revenue is at least $ 200 million. Forbes studied the entrepreneur's success story

“A calm, educated, polite young man of average height with glasses. He never raises his voice, always restrained and sometimes laconic. This is how people who talked to him described their impressions of meetings with the eldest son of the Prosecutor General Artem Chaika in conversations with Forbes.

The name of Artem Chaika has already surfaced several times in the scandalous case of prosecutors of the Moscow region who protected underground casinos, in the story of an attempt to seize the Serpukhov Subsoil MUP, potential participant construction of the Central Ring Road.

clan values

Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika is actively fighting foreign influence in Russia's political life. He was one of the first top government officials to say that the protests in December 2011 could have been financed from abroad. And after the adoption of the so-called law “on foreign agents” in 2012, the Prosecutor General’s Office began mass inspections of Russian NGOs that received foreign grants.

And it so happened that at about the time when Chaika's department became more active in the fight against foreign agents in Russia, his sons, together with close subordinates of the Prosecutor General, began to actively invest tens of millions of euros in assets in Western countries. Today, Chaika's eldest son, Artem, owns two magnificent hotels and a plot of land in Greece, as well as a house and Law Firm in Switzerland. The son of the Prosecutor General also has a document giving him the right to reside in Switzerland. Chaika's partner in the hotel business in Greece was Olga Lopatina, the ex-wife of Deputy Prosecutor General Gennady Lopatin.

Studying the commercial interests of Lopatina, Novaya Gazeta discovered that she and another wife of a high-ranking employee of the Prosecutor General's Office owned a sugar production company together with the wives of the leaders of the Tsapkovskaya organized criminal group - one of the bloodiest gangs in Russian history.

FBK spoke about the business partners of the family of Prosecutor General Chaika, who are related to the relatives of members of the Tsapok gang

FBK employees drew attention to the fact that in the documents for the Pomegranate hotel Artem Chaika is called a “resident of Switzerland”. In an unofficial database of Swiss addresses, a fictitious address was found of the son of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation and his wife Marina - a house registered in the name of Ukrainian Bogdan Lisurenko, who is also indirectly associated with Lopatina.

Soon, FBK employees found in Switzerland real estate registered to Artem Chaika: it turned out that in September 2014 he purchased a house with an estimated value of 2.7 million francs (approximately 198 million rubles). “Now it can be argued that Artem Chaika not only obtained a residence visa in Switzerland, but also acquired real estate there. The presence of housing also implies the presence of accounts in local banks necessary for servicing the house, ”the authors of the investigation concluded.

Navalny: Seagull is a crime drama

Artem Chaika is the same investor who invested millions of dollars in the reconstruction of the hotel

Actually, it was hard to guess. There is not a single photo of the eldest son of the Prosecutor General in the Russian media - but this is exactly what Artem looks like, about whose huge successes you could read if you are interested in the business of children of high-ranking parents. And if you haven’t heard about business successes, then most likely you know about the “gambling case”, in which evidence was given against Artem Chaika (allegedly he protected underground casinos). Well, if you don’t know about the casino, then you probably heard the story of how he issued a power of attorney for his father’s car to two Ingush people who were detained in it with a bunch of weapons and drugs. Artyom then managed to get out of the water only thanks to the efforts of the pope. In general, as you can see, the prosecutor general has a rather colorful son.

OCG "Seagull and Sons"

The Swiss partner of Chaika is the former head of the Migration Office of the canton of Vaud, Francois Taren, the FBK found out. It is with its help that visas are issued and the possibility of obtaining resident status in Switzerland is simplified.

RBC investigation: who won the 15-year contract for garbage collection in Moscow

A 15-year contract for garbage collection in Moscow districts went to the firm of the youngest son of Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika, Igor, says lawyer for the Anti-Corruption Foundation Alexei Navalny. RBC figured out with whom the companies that have won tenders in Moscow for almost 50 billion rubles over the past few years are connected.

Garbage "Charter"

In 2012-2014, the Moscow Mayor's Office held nine tenders for the right to conclude 15-year contracts for waste collection for a total amount of more than 142 billion rubles. The city pays for garbage collection and disposal services, and the winners of the tenders are required to purchase new garbage trucks, containers for collecting waste and build sorting plants and landfills for waste disposal.

The two largest in terms of the amount of the lot (42.6 billion rubles) are garbage disposal in Northeast andEastern districts of Moscow - the Charter company registered in 2012 with an authorized capital of 10 thousand rubles won. The latest data on its financial performance is dated 2013. Then the company was unprofitable: revenue was 1.8 million rubles, net loss - 9.5 million rubles. But in 2014 everything changed. By winning the right to collect garbage in the North and East Administrative Districts, Charter has secured a multi-billion dollar turnover for 15 years to come.

Shortly after winning the competition, Charter bought from the Bank of Moscow for 267 million rubles. a garbage sorting complex on Altufyevskoye Shosse and the Dominanta company, which owns a fleet of old garbage trucks. The source of investment is a loan from the Bank of Moscow, RBC reported. CEO"Charters" Alexander Nikolsky. In addition, according to him, the company has already purchased about 50 new garbage trucks and other equipment, installed 8.5 thousand garbage containers (13 thousand in total are to be installed). By 2018, Nikolsky plans (this is required by the terms of the contract) to build its own landfill for the disposal of solid domestic waste and a waste sorting station. He is also considering leasing incineration plant No. 4 in the Nekrasovka district, owned by the city.

To submit an application, it was required to deposit a security in the amount of 1 billion rubles, another 2.2 billion rubles. the winner must contribute in equal installments over 15 years. How did an unknown company manage to fulfill the conditions of the tender and break into the market of state waste contracts?

RUB 40.1 billion MKM-Logistics will receive and dispose of garbage from the Southwestern and Western districts (100% of the company's shares were divided between three offshore companies: two from Cyprus and one from the British Virgin Islands). The beneficiary of one of the Cypriot offshore companies, Ervington Investments Limited, is Roman Abramovich. In two tenders for a total of 25.6 billion rubles. for the service of the Central and Northern districts of Moscow, the Ecoline company won (according to the Anti-Corruption Fund, it is associated with the Arks group of the son of the former Minister of Transport Sergei Frank and the son-in-law of Gennady Timchenko Gleb Frank, the former vice-governor of St. Petersburg, who oversees housing and communal services , Vladimir Lavlentsev. A representative of the Timchenko-owned Volga Group denies this. According to him, the possibility of participating in this project was studied, "but it was decided not to enter it"). Waste removal from the South-East and Zelenograd districts of the capital is carried out by Msk-NT LLC, which won two contracts for 21.4 billion rubles, owned by businessman Igor Cheremsky. Another 12.4 billion rubles. for garbage removal from the North-Western District of Moscow will receive the company "Spetstrans". Its sole owner is Elena Mochalova, who heads the "granddaughter" of the Russian Technologies State Corporation - the company "RT-Invest Finance". The tender for the collection and disposal of garbage in the Southern District of Moscow was not announced.

Seagull and son

According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the sole owner of the "Charter" is Alexander Turcan. The general director of the "Charter" Alexander Nikolsky told RBC that he did not know how to contact Tsurkan, since he "saw him twice." When asked why Moscow entrusted garbage collection to a company about which nothing is known, the press service of the Moscow government did not answer. A source close to the mayor’s office told RBC that the Charter is controlled by the son of Russian Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika Igor, this was also confirmed by an interlocutor in one of the departments of the Moscow government. Another Moscow official and another acquaintance of the businessman heard about the interests of Igor Chaika in the garbage business of the capital. The representative of the mayor's office promised to comment on the situation on Thursday morning.

Igor Chaika is the youngest son of Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika. About him official biography little is known. He is 26 years old, in 2011 he graduated from the Kutafin Law Academy. In February 2014, he began working in the administration of the Governor of the Moscow Region Andrei Vorobyov as a volunteer adviser on sports, culture, tourism and youth affairs. In an interview with Afisha in the summer of 2014, he said that in this position he was dealing with the renewal of the urban environment of cities near Moscow. Not having worked for Vorobyov even for a year, Chaika left the post, explaining that he had not stopped doing business all this time and “these projects require daily operational support.”

There is no documentary connection between Chaika's business and the Charter, there are only indirect intersections. In an interview with Izvestia Seagull was telling that the business in which he is engaged, from the second year, is connected with the production of food, landscaping, the development of public spaces and the creation of the architectural appearance of cities. In 2010, according to SPARK, he registered the Innovations of Light company, which received several contracts for almost 700 million rubles in three years. In particular, this company made New Year's illumination in the Central and Southern districts of Moscow, artistic lighting of the Novospassky and Crimean bridges and artificial lighting of the Adler-Krasnaya Polyana highway on the eve of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Also, "Innovations of Light" participated in tenders of subdivisions of the city economy complex of the Moscow government, but several times lost the victory to the Kaliningrad "Citystroyservice" and the St. Petersburg "BaltikStroyCompany".

In 2013, the relationship of the three listed companies attracted the attention of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS). The service suspected them of a cartel conspiracy during one of the tenders for the improvement of the Ostankino park worth 686 million rubles. The list of companies that have attracted the attention of the FAS also includes the Moscow City Environment (is engaged in the development of elements of street navigation). According to SPARK-Interfax, the only owner of the "Urban Environment" is the owner of the "Charter" Alexander Tsurkan. The antimonopoly service was concerned that the applications from these four companies were sent on the same day and from the same IP address.

However, representatives of the companies convinced the FAS that there was no collusion on their part, they all simply used the services of the Tender-inform company, which provides intermediary services when participating in public procurement. The company declined to comment on its "customer relationships." The representative of the FAS, in response to clarifying questions from RBC, stated only that "the results of the investigation are set out in the decision of the FAS commission, which no one, including the applicant, appealed." The applicant was LLC Management Construction Company of the St. Petersburg Stone Processing Company.

Holding

The four companies featured in the FAS investigation are connected, if not by property relations, then at least by projects. The press service of Innovations of Light distributes press releases about projects carried out by Citystroyservice and BaltikStroyCompany. In particular, the contacts of PR-managers of Innovations of Light were indicated in a press release on the completion of work on the improvement of the Ostankino park by Citystroyservice, a tender against which FAS filed claims. Two employees in these companies call these structures a "holding", and "Innovation of Light" - management company. “From communication with the Innovations of Light, Citystroyservice and BaltikStroyCompany companies, it was clear that this is one holding,” says architect Boris Aksentsev, who carried out a number of projects commissioned by companies. Another contractor of the company spoke about this on condition of anonymity: “Professionals in the market know that this is one company.”

Over the past three years, Citystroyservice has completed more than 5 billion rubles worth of work commissioned by the Moscow municipal economy complex. At the same time, in the office building where Chaika's company "Innovations of Light" is located, the RBC correspondent was told that the company "Citystroyservice" is located here.

"Citystroyservice" from time to time wins tenders for construction works on projects developed by another company, BaltikStroyCompany, which is part of the holding: for example, the improvement of 16 public gardens in the Garden Ring area worth 1.4 billion rubles. The same situation arose during the reconstruction of the Ostankino park. The construction was carried out by Citystroyservice (the issue price was 2.1 billion rubles, of which 209 million rubles were spent on the construction of the largest skate park in Europe), and the design was carried out for 22.8 million rubles. - BaltikStroyCompany. There was a scandal associated with this contract: the construction of the skate park was delayed for more than a year; in the fall of 2014, it was opened by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. However, two days later, after a series of injuries to skateboarders due to poor design, the facility was put on hold. The companies of the "holding" were also found on projects that were supervised by Igor Chaika as an adviser to the governor. Thus, Urban Environment developed a navigation system for the Tchaikovsky museums in Klin, the Pushkin Museum in Bolshiye Vyazmy, and the New Jerusalem reserve.

In addition, the specialists of the "Urban Environment" were part of working group to update the appearance of Klin, which was headed by Igor Chaika.

In addition to Alexandr Turcan, these companies are united by appearance— their sites are made by one designer Oksana Korshunova, who placed these works in her portfolio. She refused to talk to RBC. It is possible to trace the connection of the four companies with the "Charter", which won the garbage tender, only by indirect signs. The Charter domain - hartiya.com, according to the Who-is service of the domain registrar Ru-Center, is maintained by the administrator Artem Mayerle, who works at Innovations of Light. True, he said by phone that he had transferred the rights to the Charter domain to another administrator.

For several days, Irina Levakova, head of the marketing department at Urban Environment, was unable to contact the owner of the company, Alexander Tsurkan. When asked for an interview with Igor Chaika, she said: “I don’t understand what you are talking about” - and hung up. Soon the RBC correspondent received an SMS from her: “Talk to Vladimir Putin. Please don't bother me anymore." In the Innovations of Light company, they were not surprised at the request of the RBC correspondent to connect with Alexander Tsurkan, but they offered to call back to another office, where they had not heard of him. The CEO of Innovations of Light, Ivan Zavorotny, refused to answer questions from RBC. Questions sent to RBC through the reception of Igor Chaika at the Innovations of Light company remained unanswered.​

The elder brother of Igor Chaika Artem was born in 1975. After graduating from the law faculty of Irkutsk state university became a co-founder and lawyer of the Chaadaev, Kheifets and Partners law firm. In 2011, Artem Chaika was summoned for interrogation in the case of "protection" of the gambling business in the Moscow region, RIA Novosti reported. In February 2014, Artem Chaika became the sole owner of the Berdyaush non-metallic company, which won a tender for the supply of crushed stone to Russian Railways for 7.5 billion rubles. In the summer of 2014, this company acquired a controlling stake from Russian Railways the largest supplier crushed stone for the state monopoly - the First non-metallic company (PNC), which owns 18 crushed stone plants. PNK's revenue in 2014 was 4.37 billion rubles, net profit was 13.7 million rubles. According to Forbes, Artem Chaika is the beneficiary of Siberia's largest salt producer, Tyretsky Salt Mine.
