The day before, on December 23, it became known about the imminent completion of an unprecedented transaction for the acquisition by a Yekaterinburg entrepreneur Grigory Terentiev one of the largest utility companies in the Ordzhonikidzevsky district of the Ural capital. Everything would be fine, but the businessman is the son of a well-known public businessman Sergei Terentiev. The news about this gave reason to recall all the successes that this year, 2013, accompanied by people from the Uralmash socio-political union, or rather, that part of it that successfully managed to legalize itself and begin to “play” according to new, market, rules...

The greatest success in the outgoing year, of course, accompanied the aforementioned Grigory Sergeevich Terentiev, continued its active expansion into the Yekaterinburg “communal” market. Evidence of its logical continuation was the information that appeared about the imminent transition under the control of a businessman LLC "UK Housing and Communal Services of the Ordzhonikidzevsky District of Yekaterinburg".

According to VEDOMOSTI Ural, which was announced to our correspondent by one of the participants in the transaction, a certain CJSC Premier will become the new owner of the management company, the beneficiary of which is the son of one of the leaders of the OPS Uralmash Sergei Terentiev.

How much, in the end, the purchase of the UK cost Terentyev, is not reported, however, according to information from representatives former owners utility organization, we can conclude that the transaction itself is already a fait accompli, and the process of its legal registration will be finally completed after the New Year.

Mr. Terentyev himself was unavailable for comment today.

Grigory Terentiev, the son of one of the founders of the Uralmash OPS and the future owner of LLC "Management Housing and Communal Services of the Ordzhonikidzevsky District of Yekaterinburg"

According to open sources, the new asset of a young and precociously successful businessman, although not among the leaders in terms of the number of Uralmash square meters under his management, is, of course, a strategically important purchase for further "expansion" to the housing and communal services market Ordzhonikidzevsky district of Yekaterinburg. To be more specific, Management Company Housing and Public Utilities of the Ordzhonikidzevsky District of Yekaterinburg was founded back in 2006 and manages almost 1 million square meters of housing stock.

According to some media reports, Grigory Terentyev currently controls several management companies of varying degrees of significance: from rather small management companies - HOME-Service, Tatishchevskaya, ZhK Admiralsky, Universal - to quite large companies: Ekaterinburg Management Company (working, for the most part, with new buildings), Oktyabrskaya Management Company (in the data of the Management Company, Terentyev even holds the position of director) and REMP Zheleznodorozhny District.

One of the leaders of the OPS "Uralmash" Sergey Terentiev

In total, according to various sources, these companies manage about 6 million square meters. To understand the scale of the business, we note that the total housing stock of the Ural capital is 33.5 million square meters.

According to one of the experts in the field of housing and communal services, participation in such a problematic area may be of interest to representatives of the OPS "Uralmash" in order to "knock out utility budget subsidies through their people in the mayor's office."

If Grigory Terentyev continues to increase his participation in the “communal” business in the near future, then it is quite possible that we can talk about a real redistribution in this market.

Sergey Danilik, General Director of the EUSTA Group of Companies

Businessmen associated with the OPS Uralmash are also doing well in other areas. entrepreneurial activity- hotel business and construction. As previously reported by the VEDOMOSTI Ural newspaper, in October of this year, the GC YUSTA, whose leaders - Sergei Danilik And Danila Saifutdinov- more than once attributed to the connection with the socio-political union "Uralmash", managed to get control of another hotel - "UralHotel".

In addition, at the moment, the YUSTA Group of Companies includes very well-known in the city OJSC "Grand Avenue Hotel" and OJSC "ErM", among the founders of which one can find Sergey Terentyev and Sergei Vorobyov. Grigory Terentyev, already mentioned by us, according to media reports, has his own interest in this area, through a “chain” of nominal organizations, owns a stake in CJSC Hotel Centralnaya.

In the development sector, Forum Group CJSC, which has long been affiliated with well-known people from the Uralmash socio-political union, in principle, cannot have any problems, since at the moment he is working as a “profile” deputy head of the administration of Yekaterinburg ... former CEO of a well-known real estate developer Sergei Myamin.

Vice Mayor of Yekaterinburg Sergey Myamin

In particular, it is worth noting that in September this year, as our publication previously reported, with the participation of the Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region Evgenia Kuyvasheva and the then vice-governor of the region and the head of the administration of the Sverdlovsk governor Yakova Silina The construction of a new district of Yekaterinburg called "Solnechny" was launched, where about 80 thousand people will live in the future. Forum Group, whose CEO is Sergey Vorobyov(having nothing to do with his namesake "authority" mentioned above), acts in this project as a general developer.

It should be recalled that the Forum Group company not so long ago became a participant in a very high-profile scandal, in the center of which was the then deputy of the Yekaterinburg City Duma Maxim Petlin, subsequently sentenced to three years for soliciting a bribe. Recall that through the efforts of Sergei Vorobyov, Petlin, being under investigation, had a chance to serve 7 months in a pre-trial detention center. The reason for his arrest was a very strange video footage presented to the investigation by the CEO of Forum Group, which captured the “attack” on Vorobyov (which happened, by the way, right outside the office of the developer company). The footage of this video, in which a certain young man allegedly threatens Vorobyov with a gun, quickly got into the public domain, caused an ambiguous reaction among many “spectators”, since the whole action looked rather ridiculous, more like an amateurish staging ...

There is an assumption that the "privileged" position of companies and entrepreneurs associated with the OPS "Uralmash" may be further strengthened after the arrival of the odious "social activist" who is not alien to the socio-political union Evgeny Roizman, the very nomination of which to the post of head of the city, according to rumors, could be agreed with ... Sergei Terentyev. The well-known political scientist confirms the validity of such a version. Anatoly Gagarin: "Roizman never hid that he "grew up with these people", knows all of them and sees nothing wrong with the fact that they supported him then, because he did a good job," the expert noted. However, after 100 days spent by Roizman in new position, we can say with confidence that the comfortable and prosperous existence of people from the Uralmash organized crime group today depends on completely different people, because the lobbying potential of the mayor of the Ural capital who turned out to be “decorative” hardly rises significantly above zero ...

The leader of the organized crime group "Uralmash", now deceased Alexander Khabarov

It is generally accepted that the Uralmash community has ceased to exist since 2005, after the death of its leader Alexandra Khabarova(Remember, on January 27, 2005, he was found hanged in a cell in a pre-trial detention center). At one time, a huge contribution to the fight against organized crime in the Middle Urals was made by the head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Ural Federal District Vladimir Kucherov- it was under his leadership that a crushing blow was dealt to the Uralmash OPS, which became famous throughout the country and was then considered almost omnipotent.

However, today official announcements law enforcement and power structures for some reason it is not customary to pay special attention to the vigorous activity of persons affiliated and controlled by former members of the organized criminal group, which is gaining more and more strength every year.

Vekselberg vs Terentiev

The background of the searches in the office of the leader of the former gang "Uralmash"

In Yekaterinburg, at the Grand Avenue Hotel today, on November 21, searches were carried out in the office of the leader of the former Uralmash gang, Sergei Terentyev. The reason for them was the investigation of the criminal case on the attempt on the life of the ex-head of the Department of Internal Affairs Kurgan region Boris Timonichenko. But, as the site managed to find out, the main reason for the searches was the communal conflict between the T Plus companies, controlled by Viktor Vekselberg, and GESKO LLC, close to Terentyev. It's about about the debt, which, according to unofficial data, reaches 1 billion rubles.

The searches at the Grand Avenue Hotel became known around 10:00 this morning. Employees of the Sverdlovsk department of the TFR came to the address with the support of the OMON fighters of the National Guard. According to the SPARK system, the sole owner of this hotel at the moment is businessman Andrey Lubnin. He is also the sole owner of LLC " Management Company USTA Hotels. Under the USTA brand in the Ural capital, as you know, there is a chain of hotels and restaurants controlled by people from the Uralmash organized crime group.

On the part of the police, today's searches were personally supervised by the deputy head of the main department, Major General Viktor Romanyuk (the head of the main office, Lieutenant General Mikhail Borodin, is currently on a business trip in the North Caucasus).

According to the sources of the site, who were aware of the course of the special event, the searches were carried out in one of the offices on the sixth floor of the hotel, owned personally by the leader of the former Uralmash organized crime group, Sergei Terentyev. Moreover, information appeared that the actions of the security forces were connected with the assassination attempt on the former head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of Yekaterinburg, then head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Kurgan Region, retired Major General Boris Timonichenko.

Letter as a reason for searches

On February 19 of this year, ex-policeman Boris Timonichenko was shot at the entrance of his own house on Botanika. The defendants in this case are former boss Oleg Dudko and his friend Igor Kazakov from the Ordzhonikidzevsky District Department of Internal Affairs of the Ural capital. Depending on the role of each, they were charged under part 3 of article 30 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, paragraphs "g", "h" of part 2 of article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Attempted murder committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy, for hire"), part 2 article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“ Illegal possession, transportation and carrying of firearms and ammunition committed by a group of persons by prior agreement") and Part 2 of Article 228 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Illegal acquisition, storage and transportation of narcotic drugs on a large scale").

Accused of assassination attempt on Timonichenko announced revenge from the OPS "Uralmash"

Almost immediately after the assassination attempt, the media began to link the crime with the current activities of Timonichenko, who heads the security and regime department of the Sverdlovsky branch of PJSC T Plus. Among other functions, the security officer oversees the collection of receivables. As of November 2016, the receivables to the branch for the supply of energy resources exceed 6.8 billion rubles. Also in the media then OPS "Uralmash" was mentioned. Part of the current business of its leaders is connected with the activities of management companies. It is clear that to one degree or another they intersect with the interests of PJSC T Plus. Specific information about the existence of conflicts was not made public at that time.

On July 20, Dudko's lawyer Alexander Beloborodov invited journalists to his office at Uralmash, where he read out a letter from his ward. In a letter, Dudko stated that both he and Timonichenko worked in the team of Nikolai Ovchinnikov in the 90s. From 1995 to 2000, Ovchinnikov headed the Department of Internal Affairs of Yekaterinburg. Dudko denied his participation in the assassination attempt on a former fellow soldier, saying that they were trying to set him up, and hinted at revenge on the part of those whom he imprisoned.

“Time has passed, and, in my opinion, it is a convenient time for revenge on us, the old guard. Many swindlers freed themselves by being released as adults. Alas, there were a lot of them, so they hit both Boris and me at the same time. In a devilish way, they pushed their foreheads together on the basis of an imaginary order and hostility, ”Dudko put forward his version in a letter.

One of the interlocutors of our publication said that it was precisely this July letter from Dudko that served today as a pretext for conducting searches in Grand Avenue. It is curious that the text signed by Dudko does not contain the names or names of structures that, from his point of view, are related to the “provocation” with the attempt on Timonichenko. In just one line, the ex-silovik mentioned that he worked "in the most difficult direction", at Uralmash.

"We decided to get on our nerves"

Most of the functionaries of the former organized crime group Uralmash interviewed today were rather calm about the information about the searches in Grand Avenue. “This is nothing more than a nerve rack. Who in their right mind can claim that Uralmash or Sergey Veniaminovich [Terentyev] were involved in the assassination attempt [on Timonichenko]?

By the way, he admits that "there is a conflict with Vekselberg" and concerns the utility business - "T Plus" dragged 1 billion rubles." However, the dispute is entirely resolved "in the arbitration court". Moreover, the attempt on Timonichenko, in his opinion, is an absolutely illogical step. Firstly, people from the Uralmash organized crime group, taking into account the background of this association, are the first to be checked. Secondly, Timonichenko is absolutely not the right figure in T Plus for an attempt on his life to be able to change something.

“Well, pure nonsense: where is Timonichenko and where is Vekselberg ?! What, someone seriously thinks that Vekselberg, after a shot at one of his "security guards", will get scared, change his shoes in the air and change the policy of the company?! This whole story is one continuous provocation. It is very beneficial for someone, and we understand to whom, for the Uralmash organized crime group to be mentioned in conjunction with the assassination attempt, ”says our interlocutor.

Lawyers for Oleg Dudko Alexander Beloborodov and Igor Kazakov Maxim Razinkin today, in an interview with the correspondent of the site, also reported that their wards did not change their Lately their testimony and did not give any reason to suspect any of the "Uralmash" members of participation in the assassination attempt. At the same time, Razinkin recalled that for searches in office premises, only the decision of the investigation is needed (searches in housing are carried out only with the permission of the court, or such permission must be obtained within 24 hours after the special operation) and any operational-search data can serve as the basis. “What kind of data is this, we may never know,” Razinkin emphasized.

Turin conflict

According to the main version, which is being discussed among Terentyev’s entourage, the searches are related to the conflict in Nizhnyaya Tura, where the interests of T Plus and the City Energy Service Company LLC (GESKO), close to Terentyev, clashed. “T Plus has reached an impasse in the fight against our heat supply structure in Nizhnyaya Tura. We beat them in the courts, and they are trying to take revenge. Timonichenko is the deputy for security at T Plus, so they are trying to connect us with the attack on him,” he said. He added that in 2012, T Plus “broke accounting units, issued fake invoices,” and concluded that “T Plus knows what an unpleasant situation they might find themselves in,” so they are now looking for any ways out. This, apparently, is just about 1 billion rubles, which was mentioned above.

According to SPARK, the director of GESKO is Grigory Tregubov, and the sole owner is Igor Cherepakhin, who previously had a relationship with LLC UK Dom, LLC UK Yekaterinburg, LLC ZhK Admiralsky, LLC UK Tatishchevskaya in Yekaterinburg. These Criminal Codes are also associated with Terentyev.

Igor Zhuravlev, Executive Director of GESKO, claims that T Plus used " standard scheme": "the worse the network, the better the business." “It works like this: the more worn out the networks, the more heat goes into the air and, accordingly, the more resources are needed to provide the city,” he says. According to Zhuravlev, T Plus rented municipal networks in Nizhnyaya Tura for about 10 years, and their quality left much to be desired. In addition, Zhuravlev confirms that the energy metering units were actually broken.

In the summer of 2014, the Nizhnyaya Tura mayor's office entered into an agreement with GESKO concession agreement by renting the network to her. "T Plus" then did not even enter the competition. “According to the agreement, we had to invest about 35 million rubles in the modernization of networks, but we invested more than 80 million rubles,” says Zhuravlev.

The source of the site in PJSC "T Plus" confirms that the company had a conflict in Nizhnyaya Tura with GESKO. But the energy structure sees the situation differently. “The debts that accumulated before 2015 for heat energy are huge, and, apparently, GESKO is not going to pay them back,” says a source in the company. According to him, now T Plus is trying to recover judicial order about 480 million rubles. The company categorically denies all allegations, including information about fake accounts, as well as the fact that T Plus deliberately did not repair the networks. “In 2015, we stopped applying for tenders (for the lease of networks - Znak .. Then the networks were rented by the GESKO company. “We handed over the networks according to the act, they were in better condition compared to what we received at one time. The accident rate was reduced ", the company says.

In the file cabinet arbitration court Indeed, many T Plus cases against GESCOS have been recorded. In one of them, T Plus is trying to recover more than 200 million rubles from GESKO. In other claims, the amounts are less, for example, about 20 million rubles or about 13 million rubles. But the essence of the dispute is practically the same: T Plus demands the collection of debts for the delivered thermal energy, and GESCO does not recognize the amounts, insisting that the metering units were broken. “Today, there is not a single decision in favor of T Plus that would finally come into force,” the GESCO emphasizes.

Double Receipts and Prosecution Check

For its part, the prosecutor's office is now studying the conflict situation in the utility and energy sector of the Lower Tura. As Marina Kanatova, press secretary of the regional department of the supervisory agency, told the site, based on a number of requests from residents of the municipality, the prosecutor's office of Nizhnyaya Tura carried out a corresponding check. According to the data obtained during it, LLC Sverdlovsk Heat Supply Company (now the Sverdlovsk branch of PJSC T Plus) previously really acted in Nizhnyaya Tura as a guaranteeing supplier of hot water and heating. However, from October 1, 2014, this function was transferred to GESKO LLC. Accordingly, payments from consumers should have already arrived at the accounts of this structure. However, until December 31, 2015, the collection and transfer of utility bills in Nizhnyaya Tura was carried out by Energosbyt Plus OJSC (a subsidiary of T Plus PJSC). And in April 2015, this structure transferred payments from the population to STK as payment for consumer debt for heat and hot water consumed before October 1, 2014.

Further, in May 2015, Energosbyt Plus employees again issued double receipts to consumers, including the debt that had already formed in April 2015 to GESKO.

“At the same time, Energosbyt Plus OJSC did not inform consumers or City Energy Service Company LLC about “double” payments,” the prosecutor's office emphasizes. Since January 1, 2016, RCC LLC (director and co-owner Vladimir Tkachev) has been collecting utility bills in Nizhnyaya Tura. However, in March, this structure also began to issue inflated bills to consumers - "indicating the debt, as well as the penalties accrued in connection with its presence." “The information and documents submitted by Energosbyt Plus OJSC served as the basis for presenting these debts to consumers,” the prosecutor's office states.

At the moment, Georgy Kozlov, director of the Sverdlovsk branch of Energosbyt Plus, has received a submission on behalf of the Nizhnyaya Tura prosecutor's office demanding that the violations be eliminated. Control over the situation was taken over by the regional department of the supervisory agency.

The most powerful organized criminal community in the Urals (OPS) "Uralmash" was mainly formed in the city of Yekaterinburg by 1991. And it all started with a small team of former athletes, friends and relatives who lived in the vicinity of the legendary Uralmash plant. Brothers Grigory and Konstantin Tsyganov are considered the "godfathers - founders" of the OPS. The brothers were joined by relatives, neighbors, classmates, very good friends - Sergey Terentyev, Alexander Khabarov, Sergey Kurdyumov, Alexander Kruk (see Death on Forget-Me-Not Street), Sergey Vorobyov, Andrey Panpurin, Igor Mayevsky, and a couple of dozen more people.

Having taken control of the territory of their district, the "Uralmashites" began to expand their influence in Yekaterinburg, faced with competitors in the face of the "center" group (who controlled central regions city) and “blue” (classic criminals).

Peaceful showdowns quickly ended and the first salvo of a full-scale gang war sounded on June 16, 1991, when Grigory Tsyganov was killed by a killer of the “center” through the window of his apartment. A 12-gauge Blondo rifle bullet pierced the liver and he died in the ambulance. In August of the following year, his brother Konstantin was hunted with a machine gun, but he got away from the shots.

It can be assumed that if this attempt had not failed, many of the "center" would have remained intact. But - they did not stay - the Uralmash grouping struck back. The fighting was carried out with the use of machine guns, explosives, machine guns and grenade launchers. For almost two years the city smelled of gunpowder and blood. In Russia, for the first time, they started talking about organized crime, which took up the division of spheres of influence. Explosions, shootings and murders in 1992-1994. became a fairly commonplace in Yekaterinburg, and the city itself claimed the title of the criminal capital of Russia. Competitors of the current OPS departed to another world not only in the Sverdlovsk region - they were killed in Moscow, Voronezh, Kyiv and Budapest.

On October 26, 1992, the leader of the "center" Oleg Vagin was liquidated. He, along with three bodyguards, was shot at noon with machine guns in the city center, right in the courtyard of the high-rise building in which Governor E. Rossel lived, and in which Vagin himself bought an apartment shortly before his death. Three submachine gunners first laid their victims on the ground in bursts, and then, in cold blood, with control shots, finished off the lying ones. 20 wounds were counted on Vagin's body. The shooters were immediately picked up by a car standing at the ready, which was soon found abandoned along with weapons, clothes, masks. In 1993 - early 1994. several other leaders and authorities of the “center” were also killed (N. Shirokov, M. Kuchin, O. Dolgushin and others). Repeatedly attempted, incl. from a grenade launcher, on the leader of the "center" Alexander Varaksin, but he, as they say, was born in a shirt, and all attempts on him did not reach the goal.

The impoverished law enforcement agencies had little to oppose to the growing scale of the gangster war, and traditional operational practice did not give results in the fight against organized crime. However, they were not idle.

On April 14, 1993, one of the Uralmash workers, Igor Maevsky, was detained. Konstantin Tsyganov, helping out a friend, tried to put pressure on the wife of the victim. She turned to the UBOP and, already under the control of the UBOP, went to a meeting at Tsyganov's office. And for some reason, I stayed there longer than the agreed time. In this case, the capture team had orders to attack, which they did. Having “blinded” the video camera of external control with a shot, they opened the door with bullets and burst into the office. So Tsyganov was under arrest.

And then something happened that had never happened in Russia before - the Uralmash group launched its “special forces” into an attack on state power: on the night of May 2-3, 1993, the RUBOP building was fired from a Mukha grenade launcher. At the same time, the fire was aimed at the room where the archive was located. A few days later, "Uralmash" "in order to intimidate" fired at the building of the regional administration.

Meanwhile investigative actions against Tsyganov they reached a dead end. Witnesses who intended to testify against him disappeared without a trace. One of the investigators who was in charge of his case recalls: there was a witness who volunteered to come to his house and tell the whole truth about the gang. But on the way to the house, he was shot dead by a sniper. In the end, the case was nevertheless brought to court, but the unforeseen happened: the servant of Themis, on whom the fate of authority depended, released him on bail, appointing a ridiculous amount for bandits of this level, equivalent to the cost of two Zhiguli cars. Of course, Tsyganov immediately disappeared.

However, luck did not turn away from the operas either: on the orders of the leadership of the OPS, an operation was developed to eliminate the thief in law Timuri Mirzoev, nicknamed "Timur" - he did not have good relations with the Uralmash workers. Three of Kurdyumov's commandos went to the house where he lived to mount an improvised explosive device near his apartment. But there was an involuntary operation: one of the killers died on the spot, another fled, the third, Oleg Zagorulko, was wounded and placed in a special hospital. His interrogations began, and he, little by little, began to testify. It was Zagorulko who was involved in the shelling of the buildings of the RUBOP and the regional administration.

And although employees of the Alpha unit guarded Zagorulko, he nevertheless disappeared from the special hospital. It can hardly be doubted that the captured killer was kidnapped and, probably, his colleagues from the OPS dealt with him.

The fate of the third participant in the failed assassination attempt on "Timur" was also unenviable. The professional killer Andrei Sibrov (nicknamed "Taxi Driver") was detained after some time, but they did not have time to work with him. Literally a few days after his arrest, he was found hanged in a pre-trial detention center (by the way, a few years later, OPS leader Alexander Khabarov will be found hanging on stripes from his own tracksuit in the same cell).

However, in 1995-1996. Opera group "A" of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Internal Affairs Directorate of Yekaterinburg, under the leadership of Vasily Rudenko and Yuri Skvortsov, began to "remove" the "special forces" brigades of the warring groups - first the "center" ones, commanded by Arkhipov, and then the "Uralmashevskaya", headed by S. Kurdyumov . However, in April 1996 the judge of Tagilstroevsky district court Nizhny Tagil (where the arrested Kurdyumov was kept) Tatyana Tyurina released him again on a penny bail, literally an hour before the arrival of operatives from Yekaterinburg.

By the end of 1994, it became clear that the Uralmash team was winning the war for the redistribution of spheres of influence. An ever larger sector of the economy of the city and the region, in which cash figured in one way or another, began to fall under the control of the winners. And the matter did not end with the region. The community, for example, partly controlled Moscow's largest airport, Domodedovo.

However, over time, short money had to be switched to medium and long ones. Not from greed. Just made life. Former Uralmash athletes have joined the game, which is organized not just by concepts, but by its own very strict laws. The maintenance of such a cumbersome economy in the shadow of the state required more and more funds. Moreover, progress did not stand still. It used to be possible to plant a fighter in each stall. And what to do with them now, when there are only wholesale markets around and so many bandit service personnel are simply not required.

In other words, Uralmash inevitably began to invest in real estate, industry and capital construction.

Moreover, the instruction of the OPS to invest in capital construction is given by the governor of the Sverdlovsk region, Eduard Rossel.

(From the transcript of the Governor's press conference. Rossel: This comrade, he is, so to speak, the Uralmash leader, which means he is in charge there, he is a thief, a bandit and so on ... Well, I invite him to my place, I say: well, sit down, thief, tell me how you live, there - here, that is. And I give instructions to them, and they carry out this assignment: to spend money on capital construction in the Sverdlovsk region. I invite the second Nice person, smart. Runs a normal business...”.

The current ownership structure of the OPS is extremely complex, deliberately confusing and well known to a very limited circle of people.

They say that the cash turnover of the Uralmash departments is quite comparable with the turnover of the entire Sverdlovsk region.

The OPS is characterized by strict discipline, the presence of conspiratorial groups of “militants” (“boevoks”), significant financial opportunities, active penetration into the authorities and administrations of the regional and municipal levels, into the structures of political parties and social movements.

At present, the formal leader of the Uralmash grouping is Ts

Yganov Konstantin Nikolaevich, who is abroad. Since June 1994, according to the materials of the Department for Combating Organized Crime of the Sverdlovsk Region, he was on the All-Russian wanted list. In early September 1996, by decision of the General Prosecutor's Office of Russia, a criminal case and search activities against Tsyganov K.N. stopped, but the Gypsies are in no hurry to return to their homeland.

A.A.Khabarov.

The leaders and authorities of the community are (were): Khabarov Alexander Alekseevich (now deceased), Terentiev Sergei Veniaminovich, Vorobyov Sergey Viktorovich, Mayevsky Igor Anatolyevich, Panpurin Andrey Volframovich. (located abroad), Kruk Alexander Vasilyevich (found dead on June 5, 2000 at A. Panpurin's dacha in the suburbs of Sofia, see Death on Forget-Me-Not Street) , Kruk Yury Vasilyevich, Shibakov Andrey Ivanovich, Tsirelson Oleg Naumovich, Kukovyakin Alexander Vasilyevich (is on the international wanted list), Novozhilov Igor Borisovich, Alferov Dmitry Vladimirovich., Kalimullin E.L., Kiyaikin Alexander Georgievich, about 32 people in total.

It should be noted that such leaders of the OPS as Khabarov and Vorobyov, having undoubted organizational talent, also have a high intellectual potential- both of them (Vorobiev 2 years earlier) defended their Ph.D. dissertations on sports topics, are candidates of pedagogical sciences.

It is impossible not to mention Sergey Terentyev, who today is the recognized leader of the "former" "Uralmash", and who has done perhaps more to legalize the activities of the community than all the deputies from the OPS. Sergei Veniaminovich does not like to "shine" in public and in front of video cameras and prefers to solve cases behind the scenes. But the personality, however, is extraordinary. After his release in 2002, he paid visits (alone and without security) to the director of the UMMC Andrey Kozitsin and the leader of the "center" Alexander Varaksin, with whom, judging by further development events, he managed to find a common language.

Over the past years, the number of open manifestations of a general criminal orientation on the part of the organized criminal group has been steadily declining, and practically disappears, which reflects a real trend in the transformation of the criminal orientation of criminal groups into the sphere of legal economic activity. The reduction in the manifestations of open criminal activity is primarily associated with the development by its leaders, in accordance with the prevailing circumstances and the positions gained, of new forms of development and penetration into key economic spheres, authorities and administrations.

Strengthening the economic base, the leaders of the OPS created an extensive network of commercial enterprises, and in the 90s of the last century wholly or partly controlled more than 600 commercial structures. Under the control of the OPS (partially or completely) there were enterprises operating in almost all sectors of the economy: mining and processing industries, fuel and energy complex, food and light industry, credit and financial system, security, hotel and tourism business, services and entertainment, trade, etc. d. (including such large ones as Pervouralsky Novotrubny Plant OJSC, Seversky Pipe Plant OJSC (Polevskoy), Mikhalyum OJSC (Mikhailovsk), Internefto LLC, Neftinvest CJSC, OJSC "Tavdinsky hydrolysis plant", OJSC "Yekaterinburg wine champagne plant", OJSC "Alkona" with branches in the cities of Kamensk-Uralsky and Irbit, Irbitsky glass factory).

The OPS owns several large hotels in Yekaterinburg: "Euro-Asian", "Central" and etc. At the beginning of 2007, structures close to the organized criminal group gained control over the Iset hotel, and will probably gain control over the Sverdlovsk hotel in the near future. Considering that the Uralmash group controls a number of hotels in other regions of Russia, in particular on the Black Sea coast, it is likely that a new hotel holding will appear in the country soon.

S.V. Sparrows with family.

The OPS has been and is actively engaged in expanding its influence on other cities and regions of Russia, countries of near and far abroad. Outside the region, the interests of the community are represented in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Samara, Sochi, Anapa, Chelyabinsk, Tyumen, as well as in Latvia, Kazakhstan, Hungary, Germany, Sweden, the USA, Great Britain, Israel. The expansion of foreign relations of OPS is carried out through joint ventures controlled by them, offshore companies and Sverdlovsk emigrants, incl. K. Tsyganov and A. Panpurin, who are abroad , and now A. Kukovyakina.

The commercial structures of the OPS are united by stable systemic connections, closing on controlled commercial banks. To a greater or lesser extent under the influence of the OPS in the 90s it turned out at least 12 commercial banks and branches.

The scope of illegal activities of the OPS is extremely wide, however, as the main ones, one can single out:

control over the financial and economic activities of the largest (city-forming) enterprises of the city of Yekaterinburg and the Sverdlovsk region;

participation in the redistribution of property, incl. and semi-criminal methods. Opportunities are used to gain control over enterprises bankruptcy proceedings, as well as a method in which disinformation is organized with the participation of officials about the upcoming bankruptcy of the intended enterprise, as a result of which the co-owner of the company, who does not suit the group, sells his share for a pittance and the OPS becomes the absolute owner.
It is practiced to introduce members of the OPS into the founders and management of enterprises, who actually control financial activity firms. This form of control is the most common, and the “shadow” leaders are increasingly becoming official, and the transfer of enterprises under the official control of the OPS is carried out without violating the current legislation.

theft and laundering Money under the guise of implementing complex offset schemes;

violation of the law in the legal circulation of alcohol, alcoholic and alcohol-containing products;
- tax evasion achieved by:
a) receiving significant unrecorded cash from an extensive network of retail outlets;
b) receiving unjustified benefits for their commercial structures with the help of corrupt officials, as well as when buying and renting real estate.

In order to "launder" and cover up illegal sources of money extraction with legal activities, OPS create official commercial structures that carry out activities in accordance with the law.

In 1999, the socio-political union (OPS) "Uralmash" was registered, most of the founders of which are part of the eponymous OPS (organized criminal community), or are directly related to it. (There were rumors in Yekaterinburg that the person who came up with this name: "Social and Political Union - OPS" was paid a bonus of $10,000. According to available information, this name was invented by Dmitry Karasyuk, who became the press secretary of the OPS, and $10,000 of remuneration is just an invention) .

On January 17, 2000, the first anniversary of the creation of the Social and Political Union "Uralmash" was "widely" celebrated. The leader of this “political movement”, the head of the basketball club of the same name, Alexander Khabarov, personally met the guests of honor, including Deputy Prime Minister of the regional government Alexander Kobernichenko and Vice Speaker of the City Duma Serafim Miklashevsky.

It should be noted that the NSO has developed a fairly clear program of action, incl. in the field of economics. Moreover, one cannot but agree with the relevance of a number of provisions and one can even believe in the sincerity of the authors, if one does not know that the authors of the program are the objects of close attention of the Sverdlovsk Organized Crime Control Department.

Here is just one paragraph: "The mass of offsets and surrogate payments with fantastic discounts, which are ultimately covered by the budget, is not an economic problem, but a problem of dishonesty of representatives state power. Artificial ruin of the Ural factories--this is a problem of theft, not the economy. Malicious non-payments to the budget with the growing personal foreign accounts of business leaders is not an economic problem, it is a sign of the inability of the authorities to manage, having both laws and the power to enforce them. . It is simply impossible to disagree with this.

In November 2000, with the direct support of the OPS and Khabarov personally, the Head of Krasnoufimsk was elected.

The active preparation and participation of Uralmash for the repeat elections to the City Duma of Yekaterinburg, which were held in December 2000 and March 2001, also yielded results - Alexander Kukovyakin, who had not previously entered the Regional Legislative Assembly, became a deputy.

The massive and, on the whole, rather successful "campaign to power" made it possible for the leaders of the OPS to more actively and successfully conduct not only their economic expansion into the regional economy, but also into politics.

The organized criminal community (or the Socio-Political Union?) "Uralmash" has reached a qualitatively new, and at the same time higher, stage of its development - the stage of intensive and all-round legalization of its activities and available funds, investing them in promising industries and economy.

Let's see what the sequel will be...

In April 2002, representatives of the OPS again took part in the by-elections of deputies of the City Duma - and very successfully. The leader of the community, A. Khabarov, "broke" into the deputies on the seventh or eighth attempt. In addition, Nafik Famiyev, who is close to the OPS, was also elected a deputy of the City Duma.

With their election, the group of deputies from the OPS in the City Duma of Yekaterinburg became more than representative; in addition to Khabarov and Famiev, it included A. Kukovyakin, M. Serebrennikov, A. Sukhnev.

By the way, on December 10, 2002, the Uralmash OPS was officially dissolved, no successor organization was created.

At present (2008), Nafik Famiyev and Andrey Kabanov, one of the founders of the infamous City Without Drugs Foundation, are close to the OPS in the City Duma.

P.S. "Uralmash" has successfully mastered the "Internet" - www.ops-uralmash.ru or www.khabarov.ru.

Or rather, he mastered it. These sites are currently unavailable. And they were interesting and "live".

On June 10, 1993, in Sverdlovsk, the Government House was fired from a grenade launcher. Then it was called the regional executive committee, but even now it is more customary for all residents of Yekaterinburg to call it the White House. Oktyabrskaya Square, 1. Here they accumulate and distribute from here budget resources Middle Ural. Here is power. They beat her.

They fired, of course, not to destroy or set fire to the building, but to scare. To demonstrate that there is another, criminal power in the city, and it is not afraid of anyone. Then I was not afraid. Those years are now called the "dashing nineties." In other words, limitless. Then the Russian understanding of the words "mafia", "raider capture", "roof" was born. Then the organized criminal communities (OPS) "Uralmash", "center", "blue", "Chkalovskie" took shape and were clearly structured. They began to divide among themselves only private property, business and democracy that was emerging in Russia. Sharing is not even the right word. They ripped their teeth. They did not need democracy, it only hindered them. It took power to get close to the big money. That's why they fired at the authorities. Not in order to get in the combat sense, but to get inside. Put on white collars, formal suits and steer financial flows.

Today, the “dashing nineties” are well remembered, perhaps, only by those over fifty. Not everyone knows now what OPS Uralmash is. And these monuments in one of the cemeteries of Yekaterinburg - who were these people? Why are they so honored? But at the end of the last century, their names were on everyone's lips: "criminal infantry", "brotherhood", "authorities" and "thieves". They left just such a sad glory about themselves. And they calmed down. But did the desire of criminals to get into power disappear with them forever? I don't believe it. Every election convinces us that the corridors of power have always been a favorite place for bandits. So we need to be vigilant. Tomorrow is voting day. And we must make the right choice.

Argument of strength

They shot and blew up a lot more. In addition to shelling from a grenade launcher the building of the Sverdlovsk Regional Government and regional government to combat organized crime, they prepared a terrorist act on the Sverdlovsk railway. On January 14, 1998, an explosive device equivalent to 70 grams of TNT went off on the Koltsovo-Yekaterinburg highway at the time of the passage of the cortege of the governor of the Sverdlovsk region. Later, the press service of the Sverdlovsk regional police department will formulate: "As in the case of the attempt on Eduard Rossel, the criminal community pursued exactly one goal - to scare the authorities."

On June 16, 1991, the leader of the "Uralmash family" Grigory Tsyganov was killed. At the head of the group stood his brother Konstantin. By that time, the “Uralmashites” already controlled and “guarded” not only markets and retail outlets in the Ordzhonikidzevsky district of Yekaterinburg, but also the Uralmash sports complex, football and basketball clubs, and a boxing school.

Having formed their own "criminal special forces" headed by Sergei Kurdyumov, the "Uralmash" unleashed a real war, the hostages of which were the inhabitants of the city. Armed with automatic weapons, explosives and even grenade launchers, generously financed by racketeering income, gangster squads fought real gangster battles on the streets of the city. Automatic shooting and explosions have become a nightmarish routine in a city with a population of one and a half million.

Despite the active resistance, the "center" still lost to the "Uralmash". The loud execution of the leader of the "center" Oleg Vagin in the center of Yekaterinburg, on Anton Valek Street, is probably remembered by everyone who lived in the city at that time. He was shot from machine guns at the entrance to his house, along with the guards. The new leader of the “center” Alexander Varaksin preferred to divide the spheres of criminal influence on the terms of the “Uralmash lads”. Under the control of OPS "Uralmash" passed the Central Market, several large shopping malls and hotels in the city.

Competitors "Uralmash" killed in Moscow, Voronezh, Kyiv and even in Budapest. The scale of the criminal war is eloquently evidenced by closing indictment in relation to members of the gang of Sergei Kurdyumov: “In 1991-1996, the organizers and members of the gang on the territory of the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Hungary committed at least 25 premeditated murders, as well as a number of other grave crimes.”

The further established alliance with the “blue” (as those who served time in the colony are called in the criminal environment) finally formed the largest organized criminal group in Russia in the Urals. Many young people who did not even know that the proud name "Uralmash" is the "plant of factories" - the largest enterprise in the country - remembered a completely different "Uralmash" - an organized criminal community.

Vladislav Kostarev (in the photo on the left) quite simply retrained from a street thug into a banker... The author of the photo is unknown.

The Power Argument

And then OPS "Uralmash" became the Social and Political Union (OPS "Uralmash"). Such a PR move was quite in the spirit of the time: it was no longer fashionable to be called bandits, it was necessary to change the appearance. The socio-political union, headed by Alexander Khabarov, was supposed to legalize and rehabilitate in the eyes of the public an openly criminal structure. Its members have already become intelligent people (some even with Ph.D. degrees). They headed charitable foundations and boards of trustees. They were shown on TV in companies with respected people - politicians, businessmen, honored artists and deputies. They themselves (like Alexander Khabarov or Yevgeny Roizman) became deputies.

BUT General Prosecutor's Office continued to tell the truth about them: criminal takeovers, illegal mergers and share buying. “The facts of assistance to the raiders by individual law enforcement officers and courts have been established. Raiding in combination with manifestations of corruption is harmful public interest, undermines the foundations private property and entrepreneurship. Raider seizures are accompanied by the bankruptcy of enterprises. Their objects are often strategic and socially significant enterprises, research and municipal institutions, monuments of history and culture, the most vulnerable in market relations and having attractive real estate”. These are the lines official document, written by prosecutors no longer in the "dashing nineties", but in the early prosperous 2000s.

How Raiders Became Raiders

Despite the arrest of almost two dozen "Uralmash" militants and the flight abroad of their leader Sergei Kurdyumov, as well as the leader of the OPS, Konstantin Tsyganov, who was released from the pre-trial detention center, the main goal of the community was achieved. No one could effectively resist Uralmash in the Sverdlovsk region. For the former street punks and criminal authorities, a wide road was opened to huge economic resources and political power region. The era of "criminal special forces" was replaced by the era of "black raiders", which brought fabulous wealth to the leaders of the Uralmash OPS.

By the end of the 90s, the leaders of the Uralmash community Konstantin Tsyganov, Alexander Khabarov, Sergey Vorobyov, Sergey Terentyev, Alexander Kukovyakin, Igor Novozhilov, Dmitry Alferov, Igor Mayevsky, Andrey Panpurin, Alexander Kruk, Konstantin Koldan, Alexey Chaikin and others entered the the composition of the founders and directors of almost all the large commercial structures of Yekaterinburg they took under control during the criminal wars and established their own “family” commercial bank - CJSC JSCB Oreolkombank, whose board of directors was Vladislav Kostarev. The new member of the OPS had extensive experience in raider seizures industrial enterprises and for a long time participated in the creation of the financial and industrial empire of the infamous Ural oligarch Pavel Fedulev.

In a short period, all the main enterprises of the alcohol industry of the region passed under the control of representatives of the OPS Uralmash: the Alkona distillery, the Yekaterinburg wine champagne plant, the Zvezda alcohol plant, the Iset Pivobez alcohol plant. Everything was used - from blackmail and extortion to banal fraud and forgery of minutes of shareholders' meetings. Enterprises were subjected to bankruptcy and liquidation, transferring assets and production capacities to Uralmash firms. Almost all sectors of the region's economy fell into the sphere of interests of the OPS: metallurgy, mechanical engineering, timber processing, construction and the real estate market.

On May 6, 1999, the OPS "Uralmash" was established and officially registered. The abbreviation “OPS”, familiar to everyone, which meant “organized criminal community” for everyone, began to be officially deciphered as “social and political union”. This was the first open challenge to society and the state from organized crime. OPS members en masse became regional senators, deputies of regional and municipal representative bodies. Where the OPS seized another city-forming or socially significant plant, “their own” mayors and heads of administrations were placed everywhere. At the same time, a kind of "Uralmash" common fund was created - a kind of LLC "Commander-Deposit", in which all the founders of the "Social and Political Union" acted in equal shares. It was in it that the shares, shares and assets of enterprises subjected to the expansion of the OPS were consolidated.

Unlike the "lads", the authorities have never violated the law. The Khabarov case was supervised by the Prosecutor General's Office.

Is the division over?

In the period from 1999 to 2005, the Uktus Yekaterinburg brick factory, Pervo Ural plant of complete metal structures "Kometkon", pulp and paper mill"SFABI", Tavdinsky mechanical plant, Tavdinsky timber processing plant, Tavdinsky plywood plant, Yekaterinburg construction and installation department No. 3, Nizhnesaldinsky steel plant, Verkhnesalda Rail Fastening Plant, Bogdanovich Porcelain Factory, Aramil and Nizhny Tagil mills, regional state enterprise"Sverdl-Oblhimchistka", CPI "Zvezda" in Lesnoy, Artyomovsk machine-building plant of mining equipment "Venkon". These and many other raider seizures and intentional bankruptcies are closely connected with the names of the leaders of the OPS Alexander Khabarov, Sergey Vorobyov, Alexander Kukovyakin, Igor Novozhilovand Vladislav Kostarev. Only large financial and industrial groups were able to more or less successfully resist the "black" Uralmash raiders.

With the beginning of the new century, the OPS raiders expanded the scope of their activities and reached the interregional level. For example, they took an active part in the sensational bankruptcies of the Samara flour mill, the Vyazemsky and Rzhevsky flour mills, the Smolensk enterprise "Smolmyaso", the Chernogorsky artificial leather plant in the Republic of Khakassia.

Hundreds of millions of dollars proceeds from the theft of funds and property of bankrupt enterprises, the uncontrolled withdrawal of their assets, the sale of the property complex and production facilities, tax evasion, poured into the pockets of the leaders of the OPS and the common fund of the community. How could former sports shifts, racketeers and street robbers ever even dream of such money?

The intimidated shareholders and owners of the enterprises stolen and ruined by the Uralmashites, as a rule, remained silent. Those rare criminal cases that the police nevertheless started on the facts of criminal bankruptcies were invariably terminated due to the lack of corpus delicti. Fortunately, the "black raiders" of the OPS never spared money for this.

In January 2007, Boris Timonichenko, who was then head of the Yekaterinburg Department of Internal Affairs, publicly announced that there was no longer organized crime in the capital of the Urals. “There is not a single organized criminal community left in Yekaterinburg, nor the so-called thieves in law,” the colonel said categorically.

However, the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of Yekaterinburg kept silent about the fact that out of the twenty-one surviving founders of the Uralmash organized crime group, only three - Konstantin Tsyganov, Alexander Kukovyakin and Sergei Vorobyov, released from custody, left for residence abroad. The rest run their business quite legally and live openly in Yekaterinburg. Most of the markets, entertainment and shopping complexes in Yekaterinburg and the region, a number of industrial and private security companies remained under the control of the OPS.

Almost all of these enterprises, in one form or another, are still operating today. They pay taxes and salaries to their employees. Is the redistribution really over?

“... And tell everyone. Applies to representatives of all cities"

"The turnout with confession", written personally by the hand of one of the "Uralmash" militants.

In September 2004, in the capital of the Urals, at noon in the central square of the city, in front of a crowded crowd and the authorities, a gathering of criminal authorities and shaven-headed "brothers" took place. The leader of the Uralmash organized crime group, Alexander Khabarov, a deputy of the Yekaterinburg City Duma, loudly appealed to the most “kind” feelings of the comrades present: “All kinds of dandruff have come here ... They began to spread rumors about comrades Trofa and Karo. Our city and region are normal. The city is stable now. Everyone found understanding with each other, we have normal relations with everyone. Everyone sat down at the common table. Here is Varaksin - the center, Ivanov and Volodya Samosval, there are "Afghans" and other diasporas. And for all of us, so that everyone understands, there are two thieves: Trofa and Karo. We respect and support them in everything. And tell everyone, it concerns all representatives of all cities ... "

So the Uralmash community intervened in the redistribution of spheres of influence between the thieves' communities, putting the population of Yekaterinburg and the region in front of a real threat of a new bloody criminal war. In just two days in Yekaterinburg, Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Nizhny Tagil and Severouralsk, cafes belonging to representatives of the Azerbaijani and Armenian diasporas were destroyed, blown up or burned down. Several people were injured and one died.

Reaction federal government this time it followed immediately. On November 26, 2004, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Russia, Rashid Nurgaliyev, signed Directive No. 952 “On the Suppression of the Activities of Organized Criminal Groups and Corruption in the Sverdlovsk Region.” The terrible and hitherto unknown word "decriminalization" permeated the speeches and reports of the Sverdlovsk law enforcement officers. Personnel changes in the Sverdlovsk Regional Prosecutor's Office, the Central Internal Affairs Directorate and the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Urals federal district shook up the security forces.

OPS leader Alexander Khabarov was accused of forcing a deal and imprisoned in a pre-trial detention center, where he died under unclear circumstances. Criminal leaders Alexander Varaksin and Alexander Kukovyakin were put on the wanted list. Arrested Sergei Vorobyov.

From the materials of the department for combating crimes in the metallurgical complex of the BEP of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate for the Sverdlovsk Region (in cooperation with the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Ural Federal District and the Federal Security Service for the Sverdlovsk Region): criminal community"Uralmash" organized by the raider group Kostarev Vladislav Gennadievich.

Currently, 25 main members of the criminal group have been identified, more than 80 persons involved in different periods into criminal activity, more than 60 false enterprises used in criminal activity.

The involvement of V. G. Kostarev has been established. to economic and tax crimes at 26 enterprises of the Sverdlovsk region and 7 enterprises in other regions of Russia since 1999.

One of the main financial instruments used in the schemes of criminal activity was Joint Stock Commercial Bank Oreolkombank CJSC, specially established for the implementation of criminal activities by the leaders of the Uralmash PS Khabarov A. A., Vorobyov S. V., Kukovyakin A.V., Novozhilov I.B., Alferov D.V., Koldan K.I. and a number of others. The chairman of the board of directors of the bank was V. G. Kostarev.
