10/05/2017 Change as governor of the Oryol region
Vadim Potomsky was born on August 12, 1972. Grew up in the family of a teacher and a soldier. Potomsky spent his childhood in the Turkmen city of Mary, where his father served in the military. When Vadim was in the ninth grade, the Potomsky family moved to the Leningrad region, to the city of Vsevolozhsk. After graduating from a secondary school, Vadim went to the Higher Anti-Aircraft Missile Command School, where his father taught, who prompted the young man to take this step.
During his studies, Potomsky was actively involved in sports, became a master of sports in judo. After graduating in 1993, Potomsky served for the next five years in the anti-aircraft missile regiment of the St. Petersburg Military District.
In 1998, his career in civilian life began. Until 2000, Potomsky built a career at the Analytical Center of the State Licensing Committee under the Government of the Leningrad Region.
In 2000, his father's connections brought Vadim to the administration of the Vsevolozhsk district, where he was offered to head the Ecology communal organization.
In October 2005, Potomsky was elected a deputy of the Council of Deputies of the Vsevolzhskoe Urban Settlement municipality. The next year was marked for Potomsky by the end of his work in the organization "Ecology" and the beginning of work in the Vsevolzhsk Municipal Management Company. Also this year, Vadim Vladimirovich graduated from the North-Western Academy of Civil Service, where he received a second higher education with a degree in economics.
In 2007, Vadim Potomsky began to build a career as a politician, becoming a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region of the IV convocation. During this period, he served as chairman of the Commission on Ecology and Natural Resources, was also a member of the commission on housing and communal services and the fuel and energy complex, and actively worked with voters in the Kirishsky, Kirovsky, Vsevolzhsky and Volkhov districts.
In 2009, Potomsky was elected secretary of the St. Petersburg Regional Committee of the Communist Party. In 2011, the party nominated Potomsky to the State Duma, and on December 4 of the same year he was elected a deputy. In 2012, the communists offered Vadim Vladimirovich to try his luck in the gubernatorial elections in the Bryansk region, but he failed.
In 2014, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation agreed on the candidacy of Potomsky with the Presidential Administration, and on February 26, 2014, Vladimir Putin appointed Vadim Pomsky as governor of the Oryol region. In August 2014, Potomsky was registered by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation for the gubernatorial election, and on September 14 he was elected with a majority of votes with a high voter turnout. At the initiative of Potomsky, in 2016, the first Russian monument to Ivan the Terrible was erected in Orel.
On October 5, 2017, Vadim Potomsky, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, was early dismissed from the post of Governor of the Oryol Region, and on the same day he was appointed Deputy Plenipotentiary of the President of the Russian Federation in the Central Federal District Alexander Beglov. In this position, he oversees work with industrial enterprises and nuclear power plants, and also solves problems related to the activities of landfills.
Potomsky on March 7, 2018, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, was awarded the class rank of "actual state adviser of the Russian Federation of the 3rd class." He was also awarded: Order of Friendship, 11/15/2017; Commemorative medal "20 years of the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region", 2014. Award weapons: pistol "Yarygin" from the Minister of Emergency Situations and "Glock 19" from the President of Abkhazia.
Vadim Potomsky met his future wife Natalya during his life in the city of Mary. Her family had just moved there from Ashgabat. The young man liked the new student - they began to communicate, and when the Potomskys moved to Vsevolozhsk, they kept in touch by correspondence. They got married in 1991, and three years later the eldest daughter, Ilona Potomskaya, was born. Subsequently, the youngest daughter Eleanor and son Vladislav appeared in the family.
... read more >Over the past few years, the name of the governor of the Oryol region, Vadim Potomsky, no, no, and yes, it pops up in some kind of criminal context. Either he evasively answers the direct question of TV and radio host Vladimir Solovyov: “Are you a bandit?”, then he appears in the company of individuals with a criminal past, then he invites citizens to work for him, who are then sent to prison.
Gennady Zyuganov's comrade-in-arms is actually very afraid of going to prison. Knows the details. The fact is that his friends knowingly introduced him to the peculiarities of life and life behind bars, which Vadim Potomsky once personally told the correspondent of the Rosbalt agency about. Here is what a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation said about the stories of his acquaintances and about places not so remote:
“I have not been to prison. But, as they say, do not renounce the bag and the prison. I am 40 years old, and I will not say that I have a lot, but I have friends who have been in places of deprivation of liberty. What they say is horrendous." As for the bag and the prison, the governor said quite rightly ...
Friends criminals
Now Vadim Potomsky is almost 45, but he still does not want to go to prison, although he does not forget his criminal friends. As soon as he appeared in Orel, he was photographed against the backdrop of the regional administration building with Sergei Antoshin, his close Bryansk colleague. Here is what one of the federal publications wrote about him in 2003: “34-year-old Antoshin worked for the FSB for a long time, then became the personal bodyguard of Governor Yuri Lodkin.
In January 2000, the governor appointed Antoshin the head of the information and analytical department of the regional administration. A criminal case against an official of the FSB of the Bryansk region was opened in November 2001. Chekist Antoshin, leaving the office of his friend, the "alcohol king" Oleg Rozanov, noticed the FSB outside at the gate. And then he handed over his colleagues to a businessman. And then the friends quarreled, Rozanov wrote a statement to law enforcement agencies against Antoshin, and the FSB officers submitted to the court the wiretapping records of two former comrades, where the fact of disclosure of state secrets and betrayal was recorded. And Antoshin received four years in prison. True, he served only 13 months and is now a communist and a deputy of the Bryansk Regional Council.
Unlike United Russia, for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, a criminal past is not an obstacle to nomination for deputies. The current governor of the Oryol region, Vadim Potomsky, considers him one of the citizens "whose names and surnames I can name with honor and dignity." And as for criminality, so, a trifle ... “This is Antoshin Sergey Sergeevich,” Potomsky told reporters, “the man who was near me in this Bryansk campaign. A man of honor, not a coward. Yes, there were all kinds of stories, but that's life." For Vadim Potomsky, who likes to talk about officer honor, is the betrayal of comrades in the service a normal part of life?
Again about Yorsha
Other "all sorts of stories" unexpectedly surfaced when Vadim Potomsky invited Andrey Yersh, his classmate at the anti-aircraft missile school and, as it turned out later, the leader, to work as the head of the state institution of the Oryol region "Orelgoszakazchik". This institution is one of the most corrupt in the region.
Only on the line "Road Fund" planned to "master" 3 billion rubles. He failed - in the fall of 2014, operatives detained him right in his office and transferred him to the North. Announced at the end of January 2017 by the verdict of the Arkhangelsk Regional Court, Andrey Yorsh, who led an organized criminal group of current and former employees of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Arkhangelsk Region, was found guilty of "covering" underground gaming clubs and mediation in giving a bribe. The former police lieutenant colonel received a serious term - 9.5 years of strict regime.
And Governor Potomsky only complained: “Unfortunately, I will tell you objectively and honestly: I did not know about this story. If I had known about this story, Andrei would not have worked here ... This is my cadet, we studied together from the first year, when we were 16 years old, I was a foreman of the battery, he was a cadet of the second platoon ... He came to me. I invited him to work, no one imposed him on me ... Everyone who works for me in the government of the Oryol region was personally invited by me. Especially the level of deputies. Andrei worked in the police, in police structures, in the Economic Crime Department. in economic areas.
For reasons that the organization in which he worked, Oryolgoszakazchik, passes through it a colossal amount of budget money, I invited him as a specialist so that all these various left-wing options would not go anywhere. A story surfaced that... He didn't tell me. If he had called her to me, he said: “Sergeant, that’s what they called me, Vadim, there is such a story, such a skeleton in the closet, I would not take him to work.”
In fact, the argumentation of Vadim Potomsky in this case is designed for very gullible people. After all, this is far from the only personnel miscalculation of the governor of the Oryol region.
Mikhail Sokolovsky
Well, the most notable criminal associate of Vadim Potomsky, the person whom he repeatedly publicly called “his friend”, with whom he traveled to the Patriarch of Serbia and filmed for TV at the Russian-Slovenian business forum, was Mikhail Ivanovich Sokolovsky. This is the same citizen who, at a meeting of the Oryol City Council, spoke about the monument to Ivan the Terrible, which costs 25 million rubles to erect. Recall that the money "for the monument" was collected, but, according to Vadim Potomsky, it cost several times less. Where did the difference in 20 million go? This could be answered by Sokolovsky, a man with three convictions, including for.
It all started in 2005, when Mikhail Ivanovich was the vice-governor of Koryakia. Then the court of the Tigilsky district of the Koryak Autonomous Okrug sentenced him to one and a half years in prison - for disrupting the heating season with abuse of office and the disappearance of money paid to a certain company for fuel. In May 2005, it turned out that Sokolovsky had previously worked for the recipient company. On July 21, 2005, the court sentenced him to three years in prison. And then a third conviction followed: in 2005, the Dorogomilovsky District Court of Moscow, Mikhail Sokolovsky, Potomsky's future friend, was sentenced to five years and eight months in prison in a strict regime colony for fraud on an especially large scale.
Where did the communist Potomsky get such a craving for criminal personalities? After all, there was also a certain Vladimir Makarchuk, who in 2014 was invited by Governor Potomsky to lead the regional state property department. But then it turned out that he was a fraudster with a fresh conviction and a fine of half a million rubles. Then, after the scandal with the sealing of the office, Vice Governor Mikhail Babkin, who was in charge of the economic bloc, quickly fled the region.
“Tell me who your friend is, and I will tell you who you are,” the proverb says. At the very beginning of the article, we noted that Gennady Zyuganov's henchman, Potomsky, really does not want to go to jail. And he does not want to forcibly leave the governor's seat. And he even protested against the fact that the question of trust or distrust is raised by the president, and not by the abstract "people."
In an interview posted on the website of the Leningrad regional branch of the Communist Party, he asked: “What should the governor do to lose confidence? And if the people elected him, then why does the President make the decision to lose confidence?” That's why he accepts, citizen Potomsky.
And the latest news from Orel is completely amazing, the defendant in a high-profile criminal case, the general director of the Orel Agency for Housing Mortgage Lending (AHML), 97.4% of whose shares are owned by the region, Sergey Kochergin, was also hired with a criminal record. The defendant openly stated that he came to this position at the invitation of the governor of the Oryol region.
In order not to be unfounded, we will cite a specific segment from the decision of the Oryol Regional Court dated November 9, 2016: “By a court verdict, Kochergin S.A. found guilty of committing a crime, under subsection. «in» h. 2 Article. 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Assignment or embezzlement, that is, theft of another's property entrusted to the guilty, committed using one's official position”), with the imposition of a sentence of imprisonment for a period of 3 years suspended with a probationary period of 3 years.
As it turned out later, Mr. Kochergin had also previously been convicted in Orel, and the governor of the region simply could not have been unaware of this. We note this in case the official again insists that "I am not me and the house is not mine." After all, all sorts of negative information about the governor pops up every week. And there is no need to carry out a journalistic investigation in order to find out about all the pitfalls of the governor of the Oryol region. Only, after all, someone appointed the director of Sergei Kochergin. In addition, all companies that have ever been associated with the "director" won all tenders and received the most tidbits. Is it because, as it turned out later, Kochergin, previously convicted of embezzlement, liked Potomsky because of his ability to properly distribute financial flows?
But if Sergei Kochergin was previously convicted under Article 160 Part 2, now, as they say, he has upgraded and now he is charged with at least parts 3 and 4 of the same article. It turns out that the staff selected by the governor does not stop there. And in general, the Oryol region is a whole organism in which the distribution of budgetary funds takes place every day. The money is transferred to the regional leaders, according to the protocol of interrogation of the director of the Municipal Unitary Enterprise Ritual and ritual services of the city of Orel, Ekaterina Sagittarius, in bundles or bags with alcohol.
But with the advent of the team called by Mr. Potomsky, more modern technologies began to be introduced. The same Mrs. Sagittarius noted in her testimony: “Sometimes we transferred the funds received from entrepreneurs to Mukhanov O.V. (trustee of the governor) by bank transfer. As far as I remember, part of the money was transferred ... to the card of Mukhanov's wife O.V. - Svetlana.
But Sergei Kochergin, apparently, was very angry with his “head” and at the same court session told reporters that Vadim Potomsky and the head of the Department of State Property and Land Relations Andrey Sinyagov were the customers who ordered the criminal prosecution against him. In addition, the defendant said that he provided the investigators with a number of evidence about the criminal activities of the government of the Oryol region. The strange thing is that there was no response from Vadim Potomsky. Perhaps the governor does not want to once again confirm his attitude to this criminal case.
And in fact, the same evidence began to slowly creep across the region. We are talking about printouts of withdrawals from a certain Sberbank Visa Classic card, as it turned out later, representatives of the investigation actually have this documentation. Yury Lebedkin, editor-in-chief of the Oryol newspaper Krasnaya stroka, notes: “As far as I have heard,” Yuri Viktorovich said, “these printouts are indeed at the disposal of law enforcement agencies. The plastic card was issued to Sergey Kochergin's business partner Mikhail Timakov. When Kochergin headed AHML in Orel, Timakov became the general director of a well-known company - a counterpart of ASK Engineering. How the card issued to him got (and did it?) get to the trusted people of the governor, I can’t say: it’s up to the investigation to find out. And who personally paid with the card, for example, at the National in Moscow, I also do not know. But they say that the investigation already has a photo of one character ... "
We only add that the first one and a half million rubles to the Timakovo account, a copy of which is at the disposal of the editorial office, were received in August 2015. Coincidentally, it was at that time that Sergei Kochergin began to “settle down” in AHML. The next three million are credited in October and November. They withdrew money on different days and in different amounts from 100 to 147,479 rubles. In my opinion, this is usually done by those who received the amounts "dishonestly", thinking that they cover their tracks ...
There is nothing to hide here, each subordinate of Vadim Potomsky has his own function, to monitor this or that cash flow and increase income accordingly. Big money was spinning in AHML, Sergey Kochergin was given the opportunity to attract “friendly” structures to him to carry out profitable contracts. If now the defendant had correctly used the resources, the administration of the region would have become much richer, and this, of course, Vadim Potomsky understood. For example, the governor called members of the Izborsk club to the region. To bring them, perhaps, to pay per diem, to accommodate, to drink - to feed - it's not cheap at all.
On January 16, 2016, Sergey Kochergin, as a social burden, suddenly became the chairman of the Oryol regional branch of the Izborsk club. And it seems that he paid for everything that was connected with its functioning. It can be assumed that not only from personal funds ... For example, almost a year ago a theatrical performance was released on the regional TV channel, this action took place in the office of Mr. Potomsky:
Vadim Potomsky: "Is Sergey Anatolyevich working normally?" Alexander Prokhanov: "Brilliant work!" Vadim Potomsky: "He is a business man." Alexander Prokhanov: “Brilliant, simply brilliant, Sergey Anatolyevich works!”
But the story of Vadim Potomsky does not end there either. On July 28, 2016, Kochergin, together with Potomsky, met with Patriarch Kirill! But a month later, the holy spirit disappeared, a criminal case was initiated against Sergei Kochergin, then he was charged and taken into custody. So the money spent on the reception of public figures seems to have gone sideways to Mr. Kochergin, and the Oryol branch of the club practically ceased to exist with his arrest. The question remains, why did Vadim Potomsky do this with his ward, a professional in the field of fraud. You have lost a valuable shot, Vadim Vladimirovich, for your team! Only now it is obvious that Mr. Kochergin opened a rather strong wound. Sooner or later, employees of the Prosecutor General's Office will pay attention to account statements.
Head of the Oryol Region Vadim Potomsky defended the founder of Orel, Tsar Ivan IV (the Terrible), stating that he did not kill his son, and instantly became an Internet meme. The editors studied the income declarations of Governor Potomsky and discovered something that can hardly seem ridiculous - an undeclared house owned by the governor's wife.
Vadim Potomsky is from St. Petersburg. In the late 90s, he worked at the Analytical Center of the State Licensing Committee of the Government of the Leningrad Region, after which in 2005 he became a member of the Council of Deputies of the Vsevolozhsk Urban Settlement. In 2011 he became a member of the State Duma from the Communist Party. Three years later, Vadim Potomsky was elected governor of the Oryol region .

Despite the fact that he moved with his wife Natalya and three children to Orel, he still had undeclared property in Vsevolozhsk Leningrad region, which was discovered thanks to photos in social networks.
Judging by the election declaration to the State Duma, in 2010 Potomsky received 1.4 million rubles a year and owned two apartments in St. Petersburg (115 and 116 square meters). It is curious that in his declarations submitted earlier to the Legislative Assembly Leningrad region, the areas of the apartments belonging to him are indicated differently - 114.9 and 114.6 square meters. We assume that the deputy decided to use this trick, which is a favorite of officials (we talked about it in detail in material"American Dream of Deputy Reznik") to prevent journalists from finding his property.
Mess with plots

Meanwhile, the welfare of the official continued to grow: in 2011, among the property of a communist deputy, a land plot (974 square meters), three apartments (116, 115 and 70 square meters) and a residential building (332 square meters) appeared - joint property with his wife. His wife, Natalia Potomskaya, at that time also owned a plot of 1018 square meters.
After that, in 2014, already in the governor's declaration, Vadim Potomsky, among other property of his wife, received a land plot of 969 square meters. However, here's what's interesting: at the same time, his wife, in an interview with Zagorodnoye Obozrenie magazine, spoke about a family house measuring 750 square meters and 50 acres of land (5 thousand square meters) on which it is located. Neither a plot with such an area (the total number of lands of the Potomsky family does not exceed 3,000 square meters in any way), nor even a mansion in the gubernatorial declarations was not in sight.
The Potomsky mansion was then valued at 150 million rubles. In his blog, journalist Oleg Lurie quoted Natalya Potomskaya: “They did not skimp on materials! - Natalya's wife confesses, - good near Finland. Although the wallpaper and faience were ordered in Spain, and the windows and doors - in England. Later, the interview was deleted from the Zagorodnoye Obozreniye magazine website. No information about him appeared in the income statement.
Visiting Mom
The governor of the Oryol region returns to Vsevolozhsk, Leningrad Region, not only because of the mansion - he has his parents there. His mother is retired Natalia Bagdasarova, regularly posts photos from family dinners on his Odnoklassniki page.
The children of Vadim Potomsky also often relax in Vsevolozhsk, but they are attracted not by visits to relatives, but by the pool and park with ATVs in their father's mansion. Vadim Potomsky's sister, Lyubov, who lives with her young son and daughter in St. Petersburg, often visits her brother. Her son, the governor's nephew, posts photos from his uncle's residence on his Instagram. And recently, he published a picture from the board of a business aircraft traveling from Moscow to Kaluga. Probably the boy flew there with his uncle the governor

So far, we have managed to find one residential building in Vsevolzhsk, in all likelihood, owned by Governor Potomsky - in Armenian Lane (181.3 square meters). It was built on a land plot of 969 square meters - a plot of the same size Potomsky declared in 2014. According to the real estate register, his wife Natalya registered these lands in her name back in 2007 (and in the declarations it appeared only in 2014, which also raises questions), at the same time she also registered the house, which does not appear in any declaration since 2010.
According to the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the Vsevolozhsk District, Natalya Rafaelyevna Potomskaya still has about 70,000 rubles in land tax and personal property debts. Potomsky himself has transport tax debts.
In the near future, Russiangate will tell in more detail about the real estate owned by the communist governor Vadim Potomsky.
Funny Quotes
Vadim Potomsky's statement about the son of Ivan the Terrible is far from the only words of the governor that caused a stir on the Internet. We have compiled a selection of quotes from the governor.
I am a big man, I served in the army sports club, I am a master of sports in judo and in all my external data, and in the way I talk and, if necessary, answer any question posed, including if someone needs to show my physical force, I won’t stand up for the price, and you need to talk with me within the framework that I allow /
Four criminal cases per person! Let them do whatever they want! Shakes power! Shame on state power! This is a label for you too! This is a challenge for us! This is not my personal fight, it should be a joint fight with them!
History must be remembered and not allowed to be rewritten by anyone. Ivan the Terrible once uttered the phrase: "I am guilty of the death of my son, because I did not give him to the doctors in time." While they were driving, he fell ill on the way. They were traveling from Moscow to Petersburg. His son is dead!
"- Did you miss me?" - Potomsky asked his subordinates and demanded that "no portraits in schools" be. "Only the president, the anthem and other symbols. If my portraits hang in schools, will they study better there?"
Every bobblehead that has a pen and a piece of paper pokes how bad it is in the Oryol region. He has nothing but a typewriter and has done nothing in this life. He has not created a single job, but he is pecking, pecking, pecking.

How the governor's family masters state financing
It is obvious that the current crisis will seriously hit the regions, which is fraught with not only purely economic, but also socio-political risks. The presidential administration is seriously considering such a scenario. As it became known, at the end of February, the heads of regions prepared and submitted to the Presidential Administration full reports on the state of the subjects, already taken and planned anti-crisis measures. Employees of the internal policy department of the presidential administration prepared their reports, providing alternative information on the state of affairs in the regions.
We have at our disposal several such reports, the authorship of which, as it seems to us, belongs to high-ranking officials of the administration.
One of them is dedicated to the Oryol region - the most backward region of the Central Federal District, about the "communist" governor of which Vadim Potomsky we have already mentioned in connection with attempts to command the investigating authorities and attempts to evade answers to questions about the possible criminal past and present of his family (see No. 24 of March 11, 2015).
On the verge of default
For the first time, the Oryol region, the AP experts note in their report, showed the maximum level of the budget deficit for 2015. The total budget expenditures will fall by 10% and will be less than expenditures by 2.4 billion rubles.
Failure is also planned in the field of import substitution in the agricultural sector: “<...>in 2015 it is planned to reduce production: sugar beet - by 25%, potatoes - by 10%, milk - by 214.7 thousand tons<...>».
The volume of imports from foreign producers by 2017 will be increased to $958 million per year (against $893 million in 2013).
The total debt of the Oryol region, according to the RF Ministry of Finance, approached 15 billion rubles.
In this regard, the increase in the administrative and managerial apparatus from February 1 of this year looks inexplicable, the report says: the structure of the regional government provides for 10 departments and 17 departments, and budget expenditures for the maintenance of officials of the regional government and its subordinate structures in 2015 will increase by 50 million rubles.
The authors of the report also note the reduction of 18 suburban train routes in the Oryol region at the beginning of this year, as a result of which thousands of residents of the region were left without access to intra-regional rail traffic for a month and a half.
In addition, in accordance with the order of the regional government, the cost of tickets for intra-regional and inter-regional routes increased by an average of 20%, which caused damage "primarily to the poorest citizens of the region."
The region is accumulating debt on commercial loans: “The Governor announced the attraction of loans in the amount of 5.2 billion rubles ... with repayment until December 25, 2017, which, in the context of a budget deficit and a deterioration in the economic condition of the region, may entail the risks of declaring a default.”
Measures to increase the tax base look inappropriate, the report says: “From January 1, 2015 ... barriers are being erected to apply the simplified taxation system: by artificially increasing the minimum wage for each employee to replenish the budget with income tax, up to two thousand subjects are at risk small business".
Finally, the report notes the transfer of the bulk of the state order of the Oryol region in favor of companies registered in other regions of the country: “Removing local companies from public procurement, the region loses taxes, deprives its citizens of employment, reduces the gross regional product and loses intra-regional money circulation.”
The appearance in the Oryol region of commercial structures from St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region looks very symptomatic in this situation - after all, it was in the Vsevolozhsk district of the Leningrad region that the current governor, protege of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Vadim Potomsky began his political activity, and members of his family and close comrades took the first steps in business.
Uncle with aunt
At the beginning of his political activity, Vadim Potomsky was in close contact with the issues of ecology and nature management: in the period 2000-2006. he headed the municipal Vsevolozhsk enterprise Ecology, and since 2006 he has been the head of the Vsevolozhsk municipal management company. Having been elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region in 2007, Potomsky became the chairman of the commission on ecology and nature management, as well as a member of the commission on housing and communal services and the fuel and energy complex. A little later, becoming a State Duma deputy on the list of the Communist Party, Potomsky joined the committee on housing and communal services.
By a strange coincidence, in parallel with the career successes of Vadim Potomsky, his family's business also developed, moreover, in precisely those sectors and segments that the current Oryol communist governor so successfully oversaw.
So, Oleg and Lyudmila Bagdasarov, who are the uncle and aunt of Vadim Potomsky, in March 2009 established Vsevolozhsk Housing Management Company Yuzhny (VZhUK), which managed the operation of the housing stock of apartment buildings. When Vadim Potomsky worked in Russian parliament, their company has already provided services for the maintenance of housing stock in 40 multi-apartment residential buildings in the Yuzhny microdistrict of the city of Vsevolozhsk. VZhUK has never published its annual reports, however, according to the federal register of government contracts, in the period 2010-2013. the company was the only supplier of thermal energy for the structures subordinated to the administration of the Vsevolozhsk municipality. The total value of contracts concluded by VZhUK amounted to more than 20 million rubles.
In the same 2009, the Bagdasarovs gained another asset - Vsevolozhskspetstrans LLC, whose statutory goals included the removal and disposal of solid waste for the needs of the administration of the municipality and structures controlled by it. According to the federal register of government contracts, in the period 2010-2014. this company provided services to the municipal structures of Vsevolozhsk for a total amount of about 140 million rubles. According to the company's financial statements under RAS, more than 90% of the company's revenues were funds received from budgetary sources.
The address of Vsevolozhskspetstrans LLC coincides with the address of a company identical in name and statutory purposes (VST), where Lyudmila Bagdasarova has more than 90% of the shares in the authorized capital. However, unlike its “brother”, in reality, the range of activities of VST is much wider - in addition to garbage collection and processing, the company was engaged in the construction and repair of large facilities.
According to the federal register of state contracts, in the period 2011-2015. VST concluded 62 contracts for such types of work as repair of highways, work on the organization of the sanitary maintenance of the street and road network, the installation of concrete slab sidewalks, etc.
The total cost of government contracts received by Vadim Potomsky's aunt's company exceeded 280 million rubles - this money also provided more than 90% of the company's revenue for the specified period.
In addition to construction and waste collection enterprises, Lyudmila Bagdasarova also has a share in other businesses, for example, in the Coordinating Center for Assistance to Law Enforcement Agencies North-West LLC. This organization does not work directly with budgetary funds, but its name probably speaks best of all about its goals and objectives...
Vadim Potomsky's sister, Lyubov Potomskaya, according to the SKRIN information base, after her brother left for the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region, for some time headed the Vsevolozhsk Municipal Management Company. However, then she established five commercial enterprises, one of which, Volna LLC, began to actively work with the budget of the Leningrad Region. According to the federal register of state contracts, "Volna" in the period 2011-2015. concluded 164 contracts for a total amount of more than 360 million rubles.
At the same time, in the total mass of government orders, the largest share (about 150 million rubles) was made up of orders from the Judicial Department in St. Petersburg - for the supply, installation and maintenance of special software systems.
The son-in-law of Vadim Potomsky, Artem Daineko, did not remain without state contracts. According to the federal register of state contracts, his company Lenkvarts LLC received two contracts for the construction of foundations and pavements from asphalt concrete mix for the administration of the Vsevolozhsk district. According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Daineko is also a co-founder in Baltic Frontier Security Organization LLC and Financial Guard Security Company LLC.
Apparently, the companies of the Potomsky family are not strangers to each other - a number of them are headed by the same person - Mikhail Dorofeev. This indicates not only centralized decision-making in their management, but also the possible existence of a single beneficiary...
In the Oryol region, the structures of the family of Vadim Potomsky have so far shown themselves to a minimum - the matter was limited only to the registration in the city of Orel of ADM IMPEX LLC by relatives of Vadim Potomsky on his wife's side, bearing the surname Agababova: father-in-law, Rafael Rubenovich, as well as his wife's sister and mother-in-law - Anna and Valentina Agababov. The potential scope of this modest LLC, judging by the types of economic activity, is truly inclusive: trade in non-agricultural intermediate waste and scrap, wholesale of a general range of goods, non-food consumer goods, machinery and equipment. And besides, the transport processing and storage of goods, the construction of roads, railways, runways, main pipelines and power lines. And also the processing and preservation of fruits and vegetables, the production of crude oils and fats, other wholesale and retail trade, etc. In general, to “cover” the entire area, it’s quite enough ...
According to the assumption of an entrepreneur from the Oryol region, the governor and the government headed by him have created all the prerequisites for coming to the budgetary sources of the region: , collection and disposal of garbage, and even the regulations for the operation of local cemeteries.
Anniversary development
While the family of Vadim Potomsky is still earning money from the budget of the Vsevolozhsk district, a pool of St. Petersburg companies is being formed in the Oryol region, mastering federal funds.
In 2016, the city of Orel will celebrate its 450th anniversary - the largest construction volumes timed to prepare the city for the celebration of the anniversary were handed over to contractors from the North-West region. By the way, no one in Orel was surprised that after the governor, as expected "real communist", personally “inspected the facilities included in the State Program of the Orel Region “Preparation and holding the celebration of the 450th anniversary of the city of Orel”, he did not have any comments on the St. Petersburg companies.
Meanwhile, according to the results of 2014, the backlog of all contractors from the approved work schedule amounts to hundreds of millions of rubles, which jeopardizes the implementation of the entire state program. In particular, as reported by the control authorities, out of 1.6 billion rubles of planned capital investments for 2014, a little more than 1 billion rubles was disbursed in the jurisdiction of the control of the municipal formation "Orel City". Here is the data as of March 2015: for the construction of a section of the road along the street. Razdolnaya has not mastered 137 million rubles; more than 300 million rubles have not been disbursed for the construction of an iron removal station; for the construction and reconstruction of the Oka and Orlik embankments, up to 70 million rubles have not been disbursed; the Palace of Pioneers has not been commissioned to date (although the deadline for completion is December 2014); there is a problem of financial support from the regional budget for the construction of a school in the Novaya Botanika microdistrict (a funding gap for this project is 200 million rubles).
However, the governor does not have any questions for St. Petersburg contractors, not only in the context of preparations for the anniversary, but also on a number of other infrastructure projects.
After all, the structures from St. Petersburg earn not only on the construction of roads - the contract for the reconstruction of the Oryol State Theater for Children "Free Space" worth 166 million rubles was received by the St. performed tasks of this complexity.
Another major customer of the Oryol region is the State Unitary Enterprise "Road Service". Among his contractors there are also curious companies.
For example, Olimp LLC in the fall of 2014 signed two contracts with a “service” with a total value of more than 50 million rubles for the construction of several facilities in the region. These agreements are the only ones in Olymp's package of state orders, and the company itself was founded in St. Petersburg by a certain Edward Paployan just a year before the deals with the State Unitary Enterprise Road Service.
In the winter of 2014, the "service" signed two contracts worth 63 million rubles for the construction of a bridge and flyovers with the Tula LLC "REM", which had never worked with government agencies in the Oryol region before.
Another builder of bridges for the needs of the “service” is the Bryansk Stroyservice-M LLC, an entrepreneur Vladimir Martynov, who was in contact with Potomsky in the election campaign for the post of governor of the Bryansk region in 2012. The company signed a contract worth 66 million rubles with State Unitary Enterprise Road Service.
One of the largest contractors of the "service" in terms of the supply of products from stone, clay and sand pits under Vadim Potomsky was the Moscow Armada LLC - a company established at the end of 2013 by a certain Svetlana Sergaeva, the next year received orders in the amount of 41 million rubles. Only Tantal LLC, founded in February 2013 by a certain Zhanna Babkina, earned more (about 60 million rubles) from the supply of a similar type of product.
Babkina's company, adjusted for the time of its creation, is one of the few Oryol enterprises that received funds from the budget of the Oryol region and, as a result, paid taxes to the local budget.
But if we sum up the contracts that flowed to the north-west with the advent of Potomsky's team, we get more than a billion rubles, and this amount is constantly growing. The taxable base of the Oryol region, respectively, is melting.
This is a quite obvious reason for the difficult situation in which the region has already found itself and which in the near future may well lead to the very aggravation of the socio-political situation. In Moscow, obviously, everyone understands this better, but Vadim Potomsky, apparently, will have a difficult choice between the interests of the family (in this case, without quotes) and the responsibility that today falls on the governors.
Under the text
As Argumenty Nedeli reported (see No. 9 of March 12, 2015), at a few meetings with representatives of local business, Vadim Potomsky promised to "diversify the state order as much as possible - and treat the interests of Oryol businessmen with the utmost respect."
This “respect” is best illustrated by the story of Yuri Parakhin, an entrepreneur who has been recycling waste in Orel for 20 years: “Literally a month and a half after my appointment, people from the governor came to me,” recalls Yuri Parakhin. - One of them called himself Potomsky's son-in-law. “We want to go into business,” they say. “We are 75%.” Sent. More came - already 50%. “If you don’t agree, then no one will give you garbage.” “Well,” I say, “I have already invested 120 million, 50 million are left for equipment, enter the share.” “No,” they say, “you don’t understand. We will enter the business and will not interfere, that's all. But how can I stop you, even though you are the governor's son-in-law? My business plan has already been peer-reviewed by five banks. However - for sure - the banks began to fall off one by one, the argumentation - “without explanation”, but unofficially: “Well, you understand everything ...”.
