Dossier:

Chemezov does not renounce the fact of the long-standing service acquaintance with Putin: "Indeed, we have worked in the GDR at the same time ... We lived in the same house, and spoke in the service, and a neighbor."

Top Secret, April 2009

 

In 1996, firmly established in the Office of the President, Putin took an old friend to him. From that time began the rapid career of Sergey Chemezov that ensured him, in the end, the post of the head of Rosoboronexport. Friendship turned into cooperation. Chemezov come to the head of state's residence in Novo-Ogaryovo and received an hour audience every week.

Russian Forbes, October 2007

 

With the arrival of Chemezov to "Promeksport", export earnings fell by a half: if earlier they accounted for 230 -260 million dollars, when Chemezov - 120 -130 million dollars. Backlog of Rosvoruzhenie was 12-fold, and from the second place among Russian arms exporters "Promeksport" slipped to fourth.

Rossiyskaya Gazeta, 19.09.2000

 

Sergei Chemezov did not manage to be an "effective manager", but the first year of his presence in the arms business was marked by a grandiose scandal. Rosvooruzhenie, a competitor to "Promeksport", prepared a contract for the delivery to Colombia Mi-17 helicopters. But at the last moment, when everything was agreed with the buyer, messengers of Chemezov appeared in Bogota, offering the same helicopters cheaper. After that, all the Colombians refused the deal: information about this came to the Russian media.

Similar stories have occurred in other countries - a serious blow was caused to the reputation of the Russian arms that including the impact on the income Rosvoruzhenie.

Rosoboronexport involved absorption of already existing plants, rather than building new ones. The expansion started in 2002, when Rosoboronexport has established OJSC "OPK" Oboronprom", through which basic organizing events were carried out. In summer 2004 Sergey Chemezov openly admitted that sets the task to receive shares of military enterprises, "Not necessarily blocking stakes. Our task - is to have a minimum number, in order to receive our representation in the board of directors. The best option, of course, that the state has transferred to us in managing their shares of these companies. "

In addition to the military industry, interests of the Rosoboronexport also affected the "citizen."

In 2005, Chemezov got AvtoVAZ almost for nothing. Having achieved the resignation of most of the top management of Togliatti auto giant, Rosoboronexport appointed their representatives in the plant's board of directors first, and then to all the key positions on the board. According to the words of Sergey Chemezov, management bias looked like a full-scale troop campaign using operational and even combat capabilities of the Russian special service (FSS and the Interior Ministry), and the General Prosecutor's Office.

As the American edition of The Wall Street Journal wrote, in order to convince the old team to leave, after the resignation of Kadannikov a group of investigators and prosecutors arrived in Togliatti. Soon, the three chief accountants of AvtoVAZ were charged on embezzlement and tax evasion (a few weeks later the charges were dropped).

To bring order the new owner of AvtoVAZ had to change almost the entire police in Togliatti and in the factory. "We very much doubts that any private strategic investor would be able to do it," - said Chemezov.

In December 2005, a half-hour meeting of shareholders, where a new board of directors was elected, been carried out in a tight police cordon, surrounded the headquarters of the company. Names of alternative candidates were not on the ballot papers.

At the same time in the company appeared Tax Service inspectors that began checking its financial and economic activity.

With such a power, it would seem, only to do great things, and the more the crisis arrived, which, as noted, "will put everything in its places."

They appeared to be neighbors not by an accident, the land under the village and houses, which are home to the generals, belong to Eroschenko S.V. It becomes clear, why these leaders instead of responding on the chaos in the expenditure of budgetary funds are engaging in mopping up persons, unwanted to governor and those who dare to "blather something."

All have heard (and the governor actively replicates these rumors) that the all-powerful head of "Russian Technologies" - Sergey Victorovich Chemezov, is in his patrons, and his right hand Maschitsky Vitaly Lvovich.

pisma-prezidentu.ru, 24.09.2014

 

The eldest son of Sergei Chemezov, Stanislav, lives near the new Olympic Village, but he beats records not in sports, but in business - dozens of different companies a connected with him, most of which work in the same areas of the economy that Rostec of his father: "Light helicopters ", "Morspetstehnika", "Systems and technology" and so on.

Nothing personal - even a business is not always only personal. So, the Gelendzhik resort complex "Meridian" Stanislav also bought on shares with Dmitry Artyakov (the son of Vladimir Artyakov [Stanislav Chemezov also friends with his brother Yuri Vladimirovich Artyakov]) and Maya Bolotova (the daughter of the head of "Transneft" Nikolay Tokarev).

Some firms earn on state contracts, such as "Interbiznesgrupp". Through the "Real Standard" this company owns an independent insurance group, which is engaged, inter alia, in the insurance of military enterprises. And military enterprises - is the sphere of responsibility of his father exactly.

Some earn on a state participation. The same "Interbiznesgrupp" has a CJSC "StandartTsement", among the co-founders of which - is CJSC "Investbud" - the "daughter" of "Oboronprom" and "granddaughter" of Rosoboronexport, Council of which is headed by Chemezov-elder.

So Stanislav Chemezov is not a freeloader, he -is a partner. However, some companies, associated with him, receive state funds exactly for free. For example, his companions at OJSC "Rosatom" (Rosaviaspetskomplekt) took an advance of 7.7 million from a chemical plant in Bryansk (included in Rostec) for the supply of parts, but the contract was never fulfilled. Because Rostec, as a sin, just did not give an approval for the transaction, as it is required by law with large amounts. Two years passed, before the court ordered the business friends of Chemezov Jr. to return the money to the plant, which is in the responsibility of his father. What is this if not a long-term and an interest-free loan?

The question, if Sergei Chemezov manages to expand their empire at the present or not, is controversial. You may recall that the project of creation of another state-owned airline, lobbied by him not so long ago, was unable to "get off the ground and fly." And in the space industry the estimated flight conditions are times more difficult "- sums up the analyst.

No wonder that many call "Rostec" Russia's largest operator of "recycling of high-tech industries." "Under the hood of "Rostec" are cornered nearly 700 enterprises and organizations, located in 60 regions of the country. Developers and manufacturers of aircraft engines are included in the "Rostec" structure, as well as the manufacturers of aviation materials and aircraft equipment. The crown of Sergei Chemezov lacks only "nameplates" from the producers of aircraft,"- wrote the "Federal Investigation Agency ". Soon, apparently, there will be not only nameplates, but the fairings for launch vehicles.

Scandals, 01/04/2015

 

There is a popular expression that "money does not smell." It seems that a way to obtain funds really does not matter for the head of state corporation "Rostec" Sergei Chemezov. As they say, if only finances were. So Sergei Chemezov decided to learn a new giant cash flow in the form of budget billions, allocated for the garbage disposal.

Of course, the garbage area is not the profile of "Rostec", but, it seems that the greed of Chemezov knows no bounds. So only in 2012, the recycling also entered the area of responsibility of "Rostec", as under this business in February of the same year was created the subsidiary of the State Corporation "National Environmental statement" (OJSC NEO), which creates the technology and infrastructure for waste disposal .

In other words, though "Rostec" was "broken off" from the federal status of the operator, but it was allowed still allowed to the "trough" in the form of federal programs. In essence, it was the second goal tantamount of Chemezov for amendments - and not less important than the federal operator status.

By the way, due to the adoption of the amendments and the emergence of new lines in the corresponding receipts for utility bills, the prices on the utilities in Russia may rise to 15%. This was confirmed by a co-chairman of the Russian Consumers' Union Anatoly Golov. The cost of utility bills, by the way, has already jumped. For example, only in Moscow tariffs for housing and communal services has increased by 10%.

It turns out that after the adoption of "amendments of Chemezov" the ordinary Russians began to pay more for utilities, and the head of "Rostec" "sucked" to the next government program.

We are talking about preferences for the period up to 2020. Chemezov also proposes to make "Natsimbio" the sole seller of blood products for the country for the period until 2025.

Sanitation the bank "Tavrichesky" turned into the collapse of business empires of the two former senators from St. Petersburg Alexander Sabadash and Evgeny Samoylov: one is already serving a sentence for fraud; another was arrested last week together with the governor of Komi Vyacheslav Gaizer and 18 other officials of his team. The storm is passing by the clan of the offspring of the Ministry of Defence (and also a former senator) Gregory Naginsky, but the clouds are gathering over the heads of the governor of the Pskov region Andrei Turchak and his father Anatoly, who own an industrial holding "Leninist".

The beneficiary of these large-scale fighting is called the head of the state corporation "Rostec" Sergei Chemezov. His wife Ekaterina Ignatova - is a major shareholder of the bank "International Financial Club" (IFC), sanitizing "Tavrichesky". Accordingly, depending on how much money, withdrawn from the bank by Sabadash, Samoilov and others (see. "Loans to ..."), will be able to return to a credit institution, is directly depends if the reorganization will be profitable for his family.

On the other hand, "Rostec" is long been eyeing on the assets of "Lenints", which, according to some experts, can be absorbed by the state corporation as a result of this attack.

Just a few years ago, the future of the plant looked rosy. In the mid-2000s, the general director of the fledgling state corporation "Russian Technologies" Sergey Chemezov has decided to make "Red October" a major asset of the holding, planned by him, for the production of special steels, used in the defense industry. In 2007, CJSC "Russpetsstal", specially created for this purpose, acquired 100% shares of the plant from a Ukrainian businessman Eduard Shifrin. Chemezov and his first deputy Alexei Aleshin went into "Russpetsstal" Board of Directors, and it was headed by the deputy chairman of VTB Igor Zavyalov, which soon became the deputy of Chemezov.

Formally, "Rostec" had 25.1% from "Russpetsstal". Another 24.9% received Eduard Shifrin, and the remaining 50% divided Cypriot Vriefway Lacoveta Management and Briefway Trading. From the materials of the High Court of London follows that offshore were under the control of "Troika Dialog", which helped "Rostec" to buy shares of Russian companies  then (including, for example, KamAZ and AvtoVAZ). Managing Director of "Troika" Sergey Skvortsov (now works as deputy director of the "Rostec") told "Vedomosti" that the investment company owned shares of "Russpetsstal" in the interests of "Rostec".
