The observer of "New" Boris Vishnevsky - about why the dictatorship does not know how to fight crises
Medical workers died in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region since the beginning of the pandemic Covid-19 (*according to the "Memory List")
Data on real estate of influential officials disappeared from Rosreestr.
This text was not written for Novaya Gazeta. On January 23, at 18.00 it was published by the Russiangate anti -corruption investigation site. The material about the real estate of the FSB head in Sestroretsk was not in the public domain: four hours after publication, the site blocked Roskomnadzor under Article 15.3 of the Law on Information, on the basis of which the Prosecutor General’s Office may require blocking of any media.
And although the technical service, at the request of the site owners, quickly deleted the material (the editor -in -chief of the publication Alexandrina Elagin claims that it was not even warned about this), Russiangate did not return to life. In less than a day, the project was closed.
Over the past year, many high -quality publications have died in Russia, but there was no such hasty death from the hands of Roskomnadzor. In the conditions of the current Byzantine policy, one can only guess about the causes of what happened. Elagina herself told Ekhu Moscow that she had an agreement with the investors as the editor -in -chief - not to touch Putin, his closest environment and the Russian Orthodox Church, and suggested that one of these points was violated. Whether the go -ahead of the Roskomnadzor from the FSB or from the Prosecutor General’s Office emanated is unknown.
But today we publish the investigation of Svetlana Zobova not only for reasons of journalistic solidarity. Over the past day, having analyzed the open sources of Rosreestr, we found that the lands in question in the article belong to the forest zone and, according to the law, cannot be built up at all. It looked so incredible that we went to Sestroretsk to check if there was a fence there. It costs a four -meter (see photo).
In the resort area on the Zarechny Road since 2008, an elite summer cottage village grew behind a gray four -meter fence. Since he does not have an official name, let's call him in honor of the most harmonious name of the owner of one of the land plots - Bortnikovka.
Since August 26, 2011, Alexander Vasilievich Bortnikov, the full namesake of the director of the FSB of Russia, owned 28 hundredths at Zarechnaya Road, house 8, lit. b. The cadastral value of the land and premises registered on it - more than 48.6 million rubles.
There is no site, nor the house of such an area in the declarations of the head of the FSB Alexander Bortnikov and his wife. In information about income, only two apartments with an area of 214 square meters are included. m, land plot with an area of 11 acres, a residential building of 150 square meters. m and garage. The country's chief Feesbashnik is earned modestly compared to Alexei Miller and Igor Sechin ( in 2016 they earned $ 17.7 and 13 million, respectively, wrote Forbes. - Approx. Russiangate ): On average, 5-11 million rubles a year.
If the land plot on the Zarechny Road really belongs to the head of the FSB, he would have to have been accumulated for 30–40 years on it.
After all, the market value of a land plot of a similar area in the Sestroretsk region can be about 200-300 million rubles.
In July 2017, Rosreestr updated information. And instead of the full namesake of the head of the FSB, a new owner appeared - "There is no information." Who knows whether the story of the real estate of the sons of the Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika influenced when they had to rename them in LSDUZ and YFYAU9, or this is just a technical error of the federal cadastral service. But it seems that the Rosreestr decided to hide the true name of the owner, so as not to “shoot” undeclared real estate.
By the way, in 2015, after the editorial office of Novaya Gazeta found out that the leadership of the special services most likely earned millions of dollars in transactions with the land of the former subordinate kindergarten next to the President’s residence in Novo-Ogaryevo, and they began to talk about the classroom of real estate officials in the registers.
True, Rosreestr has not yet learned how to hide their “help” purely. Original file of real estate extracts from the Federal Cadastral Service - a document in XML format. If you convert it through the official program with Rosreestr, in the column “owner” of the final document will be “no information”. But if you convert the same file through any independent code editor, then magic is a specific person in real estate owners. In our case, Alexander Vasilievich Bortnikov.

That is, in the source code of the document, all previous data are maintained. The originals of files and extracts from Rosreestr for all objects mentioned in the article are at the disposal of the editorial office.
Since August 2011, the land plot in the neighborhood (Zarechnaya Road, house 8, letter B) has been owed by Sergey Smirnov. By pure chance, the head of the FSB has a deputy with the same initials. In the press, he appears as a colleague by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The cadastral value of the Smirnov site is almost 7.8 million rubles. At this address, a room of 420 square meters is registered. m and worth more than 19.5 million.
In the information on the income of the deputy head of the FSB Sergey Smirnov, there is no such area. The official declaration reports that it earns an average of 5-6 million rubles a year. The only exception was 2015: 24.3 million rubles. He was able to receive thanks to the sale of an apartment (128.6 sq. M). A land plot with an area of 2500 square meters is recorded on him and his wife. m, apartments with an area of 242.7 square meters. m and garage in shared ownership.
In the profitable 2015, the deputy head of the FSB fell into a corruption history. His wife did not declare an apartment in the St. Petersburg elite residential complex "Parade Quarter", the New Gazeta reported . The house was built by the LSR group. After the scandal, the apartment appeared in income information, and Rosreestr removed information about individual insurance number (SNILS) from his extracts about real estate.
The deputy head of the FSB has a son Eugene. And again the coincidence: the owner of one of the house of cottages, united by a common address, Zarechny Road, house 8, literal and is Evgeny Sergeyevich Smirnov. House in 208 square meters. m is estimated at 8.8 million rubles. It is located on a land plot of 36 acres worth more than 11 million. The house of Yevgeny Smirnov was privatized in 2011.
The director of the FSB and his deputy are civil servants. According to the law for concealing information about income and property, they can lose the trust of the authorities and lose their jobs. But it is quite possible that these are only namesakes, and therefore, the anti -corruption examination of the FSB and the General Prosecutor's Office will not find anything illegal.
The boundaries of the captured territories
The neighbor Yevgeny Smirnova is another incognito, in the passport of the Rosreestr of which is written: "There is no information." They privatized cottages with Smirnov at the same time. It turns out that “no information” already has two land plots hidden from prying eyes with a gray four -meter fence.
But if you crank the same trick with codes, as with the first house, you can also see a specific owner - Tatyana Borisovna Bortnikova. By pure coincidence, this is what the wife of the head of the FSB is called. Although, perhaps, these Bortnikovs of the namesakes: the wife of the director of the special services in the declarations did not report a similar premises in 209 square meters. m. The cadastral value of real estate is estimated at 8.9 million rubles.
Judging by the data of the regional geoinformation system, OJSC Renaissance, the daughter of the LSR group specializing in elite housing, is related to the construction of cottages. In any case, this company is indicated by the customer of work on land surveying. It is not surprising that among the owners of cottages you can meet both the leadership of the LSR and their relatives.
The largest private landowner in the village is Egor Molchanov, presumably the son of the head of the LSR group Andrei Molchanov. A plot on the Zarechny Road is recorded on a young man, house 8, the letter D. The site takes 65 acres and is estimated at more than 19 million rubles. Privatized July 17, 2013. The premises of more than 432 square meters were registered on the territory. m worth more than 20 million rubles.
Although it is more interesting not the present, but the previous owner of the site. The Rosreestr says that Sergey Serdyukov sold real estate to Yegor Molchanov - probably the son of the former Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov. In turn, he got the land from the “SK Renaissance”, the contract of sale was drawn up in November 2011. At this time, Serdyukov Sr. was still in the ranks of the Ministry of Defense, and the younger celebrated the 25th anniversary.
The head of the LSR group Andrei Molchanov from 2008 to 2013 was a member of the Council of the Federation of the Russian Federation from the Leningrad Region. It turns out that the village on the Zarechny Road began to appear at a time when he was a representative of the authorities, and not business and was not related to the leadership of the LSR.
Molchanov could meet Bortnikov during the service of the latter in the FSB in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region. The regional security forces ordered the Renaissance SK the construction of a house on the Robespierre embankment, 4 media wrote that the owner of one of the apartments of the complex was Evgeny Vasiliev, a former head of the Department of the Ministry of Defense, sentenced to five years in prison for fraud with the property of Oboronservis and early liberated.

Of the many neighbors on Zarechny, Veronika Trapeznikova should be mentioned. It is most likely a relative of the general director and chief physician of the Dunes Sanatorium LLC Andrei Trapeznikov. The only shareholder of the organization is LLC “Regional Projects”, which is established by the LSR group.
If you leave the elite village towards the Gulf of Finland, move through the Malaya Sister River, you can just rest at the Dunes sanatorium.
Since 2014, the LSR group has achieved the privatization of the ex-channel for the regional committee of the CPSU. The sanatorium first wanted to sell for 750 million rubles, but the city governor Georgy Poltavchenko canceled the privatization agreement due to the too low amount of the transaction. As a result, having won the litigation, the LSR group received an area of 37.6 hectares for 1.01 billion rubles. Opponents of privatization are afraid that instead of the sanatorium, another elite settlement will appear on the site of the Dun.
Ex-governor Valentina Matvienko planned that the “Leisure Center” will appear on the Zarechny Road, where the mansions have already grown.
According to the inhabitants of Sestroretsk, until the mid-2000s, a forest park zone was just on the site of this cottage village. On the Google space cosmic Earth shows that in 2005 there is nothing yet, and in 2008 everything was already built. Apparently, the site was transferred for development at the same time as the Park of the Sunny Sanatorium, which is nearby, which Valentina Matvienko presented to his son then.
According to the “new” local activists, the construction was first surrounded by a transparent fence made of metal rods, which flaunted the Informer about the creation of a certain “recreational zone”. About two years ago, instead of a metallic, a dull fence appeared four meters high, overwhelming, in addition to a forest park, two municipal streets - Redangol and most of Tominskaya. They now perform the function of the internal access roads of the village. Both of them, according to the materials of Rosreestr, are decorated as separate land plots of elongated exotic configuration, which are "in public property." However, the entrance to the "public property" is blocked by huge sliding gates.
The perimeter of the fence covers the area with an area of about 16 hectares. Of these, according to the information of Rosreestr, about 4 hectares are registered in private ownership for summer cottage construction. The elite dachas located there belong to the functional zone P3-recreation, objects of sports, recreation and spa treatment with the inclusion of objects of the country fund.
Further, a little more than 8 hectares from the total area are divided into sections with the target purpose “for placing parks and squares” (including roads). According to Russianangate , only half of these sites were leased to the board of the cottage village. The rest are captured arbitrarily.
But these are trifles, given that about 4 hectares of the forest, which was behind the fence, are not at all decorated. 4 hectares are no longer a RZ, but P1 - a zone of forests and forest parks. And specifically - parts 58 of the quarter of the Sestroretsky district forestry. In the west, the perimeter of the fence stretches along the banks of the Malaya sister, in places 10 meters from the water (zone P1). In the east - it crashes into a pine forest approximately opposite the bus stop No. 310 (also zone P1) and stretches south to the middle of the open part of Tominskaya Street. In the north, he is limited by the Zarechnaya Road, in the south - Tominskaya, on the other side of which stands the fence of the sanatorium "Children's dunes". Well, to the heap: to the north of the perimeter, along the right side of the river road, the fence also stretches! This is a "golf club with a cottage for relaxation." In Sestroretsk, you need to know in advance where you can seep between the fences.
And completely about a penny. The territory rented by the cottage village (the one that is not in the ownership of elite summer residents) has targeted use "for placing parks and squares." But according to the director of the center of the EMC, Alexander Karpov, this wording from the classifier was removed: “tenants must change the type of use-either to“ public territory ”, and then let everyone go there, or for some other, but in this case another rental rate arises.” However, it is unlikely that such trifles are important to the owners of cottages.
