In most cases, unused in most cases did not return to the personal account of the Sparrow Mountains, but remained in the accounts of employees; In the presence of funds issued in the account for which the reports were not submitted, they also issued new amounts. Doubtful operations with this money were carried out coordinated.
Regarding this scheme, the documents say the following:
"In most cases, purchases were carried out through an intermediate intermediary company-BRIZ LLC, which has several signs of a one-day company (according to the SPARK system):

A few hundred thousand rubles were written off from the Sparrow Mountains account as daily for young chess players for trips to training camps and competitions of various levels. The telephone survey of dozens of parents conducted by the auditors showed that children did not receive this money on trips. The Vorobyovy Mountains could not provide documents confirming the costs of traveling chess players GBPOU for tournaments to Greece and Croatia: “The institution proposed to confirm these expenses in the amount of 1,491,512 rubles, or restore this amount on the personal account,” the audit said.

Virtual economy
The audit revealed an overestimation of 11 million 855 thousand rubles of the value of contracts for servicing the territory of the Sparrow Mountains: fire and security alarm systems, replacing electricity meters, improvement of the garden at the Palace of Pioneers, and so on. For example, 1,223,617 rubles were allegedly spent on caring for garden tiles, which have not yet been built at that time.
The verification materials described a lot of outbuildings at all, for which it was paid, but which could not be according to economic standards.
For example, in February 2016, Vorobyovy Gory was paid by OOO Trust Zelenstroy-7 291 thousand rubles, 174 rubles for work that could not be performed at this time of the year: loosening the frozen snow (should be carried out in March-April), sweeping tracks (provided from April to October), Wrong Wall (March-October), washing garbage containers (April-October), sweeping stairs and scrapping of dirt from them (April-October). In March, work that did not correspond to this time of the year in Moscow was paid for a little less than 40 thousand rubles: smoking of rose bushes with soil leveling, wiping with a wet rag of sandboxes and so on.
"The institution does not present metal fences with a simple pattern, with a total area of 8,755.00 m2, respectively, the performance of the estimating and cleaning of fences in the amount of 87,452.10 rubles is not confirmed," the verification materials noted.
According to the documents, the Zelenstroy-7 Trust LLC was taken from the territory of the Sparrow Mountains in February 2016 918 cubic meters of snow, and according to the Chop, which controls the entry of cars to the territory of the educational institution, only 594 cubic meters of snow could be taken out by Zelenstroy-7. The commission of Zelenstroy-7 exported snow in March 2016, the commission of the Department of Education did not find at all.

A number of other violations that entailed inappropriate spending of hundreds of thousands of budget funds are also described in the audit materials.
What lawyers say about checking
As the head of the legal department of the corruption fund, Ivan Zhdanov , explained to Rus2Web, there is both criminal and administrative liability for the misuse of budgetary funds. When choosing a punishment for biased officials, officials may take into account the absence or presence of intent on waste, the scale of damage and other factors. But if we are talking about a waste of tens of millions of rubles and a criminal case will be instituted, it will be possible to talk about damage on an especially large scale, Zhdanov emphasizes.
The wording "The amount is offered to restore the institutions in the accounts of the institution" means that the Department of Education in the court may achieve recognition of these transactions with void. And thus return the money.
What do the Employees of the "Sparrow Mountains" say
Former head of the department of military mass work and technical sports of the Palace of Pioneers, Alexander Generalov, administers the protest group on Facebook " Moscow Palace of Pioneers. Movement for maintaining the uniqueness of the palace ."
Generals are ready to talk for hours about the fact that the problems in the Palace of Pioneers began in 2011, when the Vorobyovy Gory was headed by Andrei Shashkov, the ex-director of the Sambo-70 sports and educational center. Since then, the team had prevailed in past decades fell apart, the staff of managers and the protection of the palace have been excessively swollen. In the fall of 2015, the Vorobyev Mountain Workers, together with an independent trade union, protested against the growth of the bureaucratic apparatus of their institution and cutting salaries to teachers.
Generals notes that checking the finance of the Palace of Pioneers by the Department of Education is arranged regularly, but the violations were revealed exactly this time, although it is obvious that such corruption schemes should have been formed for years.
Why did you still conduct a real check? Perhaps because the "Vorobyovs Gory" constantly went complaints to different instances
“Many other educational institutions were attached to the Palace of Pioneers, a monster was obtained from the“ Sparrow Mountains ”. Probably there are no managers who could normally lead such huge educational structures,” said Sergey Khromov, physical education instructor in the Sparrow Hills. "The Department of Education did not react to violations before. Why did they still conduct a real audit? Perhaps because the" Vorobyovs Mountains "constantly went complaints to different authorities, bypassing the Department of Education," Khromov suggests.
The verification materials indicate huge amounts, they never reached children and teachers
Corruption schemes were directly reflected at the work of the Sparrow Mountains. "The trips of children's sections were disrupted, money was not allocated for the implementation of the programs. Huge amounts are indicated in the audit materials, they never reached children and teachers. For example, we promised to make a suspension system from the quarter so that children's work in the hall of the palace could be hung. We did not change the furniture 15–20 years. The teachers were constantly underpaid and detained salaries," Victoria says Victoria Widow , a teacher of drawing in the "Sparrow Hills".
The consequences of the audit
The state procurement, in which violations were identified, were mainly approved by the director Andrei Shashkov or his deputy, Olga Korovatskaya. After the audit, they were dismissed from the Sparrow Mountains, but not from the capital's education system.
Korovatskaya now acts as the director of the GBOU "Palace of Creativity of Children and Youth at the Miussi" - a large structure of additional education, which includes children's palaces "on the Miuses" and "in a clearing". Andrei Shashkov headed the GBOU "Center for Military-Patriotic and Civil Education"-the main programs of military-patriotic education of young Muscovites are tied to the center. Recently, the center was instructed to develop the metropolitan department of the Unarmia.
“We can say that they went to increase. Nobody has been bear responsibility so far,” says Khromov.
Andrei Shashkov and Olga Korovatskaya did not provide Rus2Web comments on the check of the Sparrow Mountains. The Rus2Web said in the Vorobyevs Mountains themselves that only the Moscow City Hall Department can give a comment on the audit. The press service of the Department of Education accepted a request from Rus2Web, but did not provide a response at the time of publication of the text.
