Data on the company entered into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities in 2015. The control package (80%) “TZh Magnitogorsk” belongs to Anatoly Kuznetsov. He worked for at least 10 years in structures associated with urban housing and communal services. Another 10% of the company belongs to his business partner Gennady Primak, together they own Mercury. It also runs the housing stock - in the public procurement system there are contracts of the company with the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Chelyabinsk Region, the administration of Magnitogorsk and the Chelyabinsk Regional Property Fund for the maintenance of apartment buildings. Until March 2017, Alexander Lednev was the owner of another 10% TZHK. Now he heads the Unified Calculus Center (ERCC)-a unit of the Magnitogorsk administration, which expects a fee for housing and communal services.
  • Income. TZHH Magnitogorsk finished 2017 with a revenue of 223 million rubles and a profit of 3.6 million rubles. The previous two years the company was also profitable. Mercury LLC in 2015-2017 worked with revenue about 10 million rubles, net profit did not reach 1 million rubles.

The house, where, as a result of the explosion, one of the porches collapsed was built in 1973. What caused the explosion, if it was household gas - the equipment malfunction or negligence of the residents is unknown. Over the past three years, only about 200 thousand rubles have been spent on the maintenance of intra -house gas networks in the affected house: 86.5 thousand rubles in 2017, 74.7 thousand rubles in 2016 and 43.8 thousand rubles in 2015, follows from the reports of TZHH Magnitogorsk. These expenses are paid by the residents themselves, in the accounts for the apartment they take place under the article “Contents and maintenance of property of the house”. Similar expenses in neighboring houses, according to the Housing and Public Utilities reform portal, amounted to about 50 thousand rubles in 2017.

Contractor. Which of the contractors monitors the serviceability of gas equipment, the reports of the “TZHH Magnitogorsk” are not indicated. But, according to Znak.com, searches after the tragedy were also held at Magnitogorskgazstroy offices. This company specializes in maintenance of main gas pipelines and intra -house gas equipment, it is indicated on its website . Its owners are the former chairman of the urban economy, construction and ecology of the Magnitogorsk City Board Gennady Nikiforov (88.06%) and Sergey Andreev (11.94%), general director of the Magnitogorskmezhraigaz gas distribution company. Nobody answers by phone calls on Thursday.

The structure of Gazprom. On December 31, investigators also visited the Magnitogorsk office of Gazprom Gas Distribution Chelyabinsk, which is responsible for the state of the gas pipeline from its connection to the locking valve at the junction with intra -apartment equipment, Znak.com reported . The company's press service has already reported that the next planned maintenance of the victim of the house was carried out in March 2018. In May 2017 and 2018, a pressure testing of intra -house gas equipment was also carried out, "which showed the compliance of networks with regulatory requirements." The company representative Elena Markova, the only one with whom the Bell has managed to contact, only noted that the company cooperates with the investigation to establish the causes of the tragedy.

  • Last fall, the “Erkz” and “Zhilkomservis” replaced the owner - Valery Kovalev became the new owner. Prior to this, Kovalev managed to visit the general director and owner of more than 100 legal entities in various Russian regions - this may indicate that he acts only on the nominal owner. After the change in the owner of the “New” “Erkz” received state orders for almost 100 million rubles from the Magnitogorsk municipal enterprises “Vodokanal” and “Teploprification”, and “Housing Kilkomservis” - another 279 million rubles from the regional Operator of the overhaul in the Chelyabinsk region (belongs to the Ministry of Construction and Infrastructure of the Chelyabinsk Region).
