How private energy companies suffered gigantic losses, providing electricity operations on the accession of Crimea to Russia
Negotiating. There are two at the table. One is sitting with the appearance of a man who disposes of a stranger, but not to the detriment. The other is on the contrary: it values his own, which is about to take from him.
“Deliveries are from you,” the first says, “otherwise we will meet in the Sailor Silence.”
- What is the price of our services and when will there be money?
-Somehow we will decide later.
- And the contract?
- What, excuse me?
After such negotiations, any businessman will run to his “roof”, and it does not matter what it is called: the police, the FSB or organized crime group is not the essence.
But here the case is different.
How to complain to the state about the state? You can, of course, but the prison grates after that will be in an even closer perspective.
So everything happened. In 2014-after the Olympics in Sochi, at which many business people tried to earn (albeit for big kickbacks) and before the capture of Crimea. Both of these business projects went under the heading of “patriotism”/“social responsibility of business”. And this vulture unequivocally testified: if you can’t earn money, it is better to run without looking back, and if you suddenly have losses - pretend that this was planned: charity ...
Not everyone heeded the conceptual rule of Russian business - and went along Prodola. That is, they became defendants in a criminal case of fraud with indispensable arrest.
This case applies to the owners of generators in demand in Sochi, and then immediately in the Crimea. Here
One of the owners, according to the investigation, made an act of cynical fraud, winning the court from the state. There is no hyperbola - the essence of the accusation of this.
It all started with a mailing list signed by Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Mr. Cherezov.
Letter of March 6, 2014
From the mailing post of the Minister of Energy of Cherezov
“The Ministry of Energy of Russia organized work on the decision of the issue of providing infrastructure facilities of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation located in the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
In this regard, I ask before 15.00 03/07/2014 to send to the Ministry of Energy of Russia <...> In accordance with the attached form on the presence of emergency reserve sources of power supply, the relocation of which is possible into the territory of the port zones of the Krasnodar Territory as much as possible as much as possible <...> ”.

Interrogation of the general director of NTT-Center LLC Dobrynina A.I.
“At the end of the Paralympic Games, I received a call from the acting First Deputy PJSC Kubanenergo Armaganyan E.G. Throw off the list of DSU ( diesel-generating installation. - Ed. ) <...> and consider the possibility of supplying another 200 DGU. <...> Then he came to our office <...> and repeated this request personally, voicing that DTGU needed for the Republic of Crimea.
In the evening I was called to the Sochi networks, where after the meeting, Armaganyan E.G. Already in a harsh form he asked to begin the design of relations to transfer DSU at the disposal of Kubanenergo OJSC. I repeated to him already previously voiced by the requirements for this perspective, the priority of which was the conclusion of a lease agreement <...>.
He was annoyed and said that these stations would be shipped in one way or another, and it would be right to happen with our consent, <...> the case of state importance and is under the control of the FSB,
And the obstacle can be regarded as treason to the Motherland, and the next conversation will be in the pre -trial detention center "Sailor Silence"
( hereinafter highlighted by the editorial office ). <...>
The request to put DGU in Crimea from the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation from Cherezov A.V. ( Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation. - Ed .), Which was officially confirmed by a letter <...> for me was another task-call, and we again [as at the Olympics] were ready to "break into a cake" and help. <...>
The volume of the supplied equipment and the work done by NTT-Center LLC is difficult to overestimate, because It was the largest park set by a commercial company. And the volume of upcoming work was supposed to surpass all the previous previous projects of the company for the entire time of its existence, and we were ready for this both morally and professionally. The specialists of NTT-Center OJSC were ready to go to the Crimea and continue to work in the same mode, and this is provided that the referendum did not have a referendum on the accession of the peninsula to Russia <...>.
Meanwhile, Kubanenergo OJSC ceased to react to our requests to speed up the signing of the lease agreement. Armaganyan E.G. Stopped answering phone calls. <...> And only in July-August did they send a letter that the Government of the Russian Federation has adopted a decree on compensation, and as part of this money, DES ( diesel-electrical power plant. - Ed .) Will be allegedly redeemed by you. But this did not happen either. It turned out that this resolution is not for us. <...>
It should be noted that NTT-Center LLC continued its activities in Crimea. During the Blackaut in Crimea in November-December 2015, the company's specialists free of charge <...> made the commissioning of the work <...> work. <...> In the market of small energy of the Russian Federation, my reputation as a decent businessman and a person remains unsuccessful even in connection with this high -profile case and our ships and debts, everyone <...> consider us the main injured in this project, but I, as a patriot of the country and a citizen, continue to help the state <...> ".
Like this.
From the materials of the criminal case
Letter (one of many) “NTT-Center” addressed to “Kubanenergo”
“Our company is forced to pay for the transportation of DSU data at its own expense and lease for DSU sent, and at the moment has debt to the car carriers and accrued rent <...>. In connection with the foregoing, we ask you <...> the speedy payment of transportation costs for the delivery of DSU in Sevastopol <...> ".
By the way, it follows from this document that they also did not have time to pay off the company at the work at the Olympics.
To make it clear what happened.
Kubanenergo receives an instruction from the Ministry of Energy to provide Crimea DSU.
Kubanenergo does not have so many installations to cover needs.
Then the state -owned company, according to the testimony of witnesses, interrogated by the investigation, requires a private business that worked at the Olympics, put the necessary, threatening karas and by no means heavenly properties.
The equipment is supplied to the Crimea and is mounted there at the expense of business. And there is no contract. There is no money. And this despite the fact that the same “NTT-Center” leased equipment from other companies at his own expense in order to fulfill the “government order”.
The price of the issue is millions. And if we take into account that in such a situation was not only the “NTT-center”, then millions are not rubles.
According to preliminary calculations, about 13 billion rubles were supposed to pay participating companies only for the rental of capacities. Per year. Who to pay such money?
The general director of VDM-Service LLC Sabaev V.V.
From the materials of the criminal case
“In March 20014, our company received a request to provide information on existing free DSU with the aim of their subsequent supply to the territory of the Republic of Crimea. <...> Further, among other representatives of the small mobile energy market, I was invited to Sochi to a meeting with the participation of PJSC Kubanenergo in the person of the First Deputy Director of Armaganyan E.G.At the indicated meeting , it was announced that in the context of the transition of the Republic of Crimea to the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation there was a real threat of the energy unit of the peninsula by the Republic of Ukraine, and therefore it is urgent to urgently send all the available mobile power plants to the territory of the peninsula . <...>
It was immediately announced that the work takes place in an emergency , there is no time for the production of trading and auctions <...>. We were informed that financial issues would be resolved later. ”
In order not to quote a executive document further, the result: this company was still bought out of the equipment, but other expenses were not paid. The company was forced to go to such conditions, since it was worried about not the best days, despite the fact that it lost a lot more than it received.
When Mr. Armaganyan E.G. From Kubanenergo, the investigator clarified whether any payment was made for the use of DSU. He told the truth:
"Payment was not made in view of the lack of contractual relations ...". These are those that were promised to think about later.
And all this happened, mind you, before the referendum in the Crimea, in order to smoothly prepare the territory of the territory and avoid possible measures from Ukraine.
A letter from the Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation was dated March 6, 2014.
Meetings with power engineers were held on March 7.
And the referendum in the Crimea took place only on the 16th.
Almost no one began to understand the emergency circumstances. To whom the equipment now owns, where money for rent (I repeat, this is millions of dollars) and payment for service is unknown.
Most of the companies thrown from sin to the state decided not to contact the state and not to demand money in court. Well, do not sue with Kubanenergo, behind which is the Ministry of Energy, in the Krasnodar Territory or in Moscow?
But what about the criminal case announced at the very beginning? It exists and is now considered by the court. But not those who diverted with funds and equipment were held accountable, but those who tried to sue their money.
Yes, and the victims in the case are "Kubanenergo" in the person of his representative Armaganyan E.G.
The businessman Ponomarev began to sue, who also supplied equipment to the Crimea. And here I must allow an important remark for me personally.
Konstantin Ponomarev is the one who became famous for the litigation of IKEA and ended up a settlement with a furniture giant, returning a significant amount of money. To a lesser extent, Mr. Ponomarev is known that at one time he gave very “correct” testimonies against lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who died in prison. And this circumstance makes me relate to Ponomarev, let's say at least without any respect. And at the maximum-someone may even be a tender on the topic of boomerang.
But in a situation where the investigation and courts are not an example of impartiality and legality, their functions have to be performed by journalists.
So. Ponomarev began to sue. And, I must say, successfully. True, in order for representatives of justice to at least listen to his arguments, Ponomarev did not file a lawsuit either in Moscow or Krasnodar (not a suicide). He began to sue in the Smolensk region, where he registered. The course is clear: Smolensk does not give a damn on both Crimean and Kuban interests.
Krasninsky District Court of the Smolensk region partially satisfied Ponomarev’s lawsuit. And the appeal instance approved this decision: Ponomarev must be paid.
This victory cost him arrest, criminal prosecution and court under an article on fraud. One of the evidence, according to the investigation, is just the decisions of the courts in favor of Ponomarev.
From the indictment
“In order to realize his criminal intent, Ponomarev K.A. <...> As part of a group of persons, by prior conspiracy with them, at the initial stage, he developed a criminal plan, according to which he decided to file a claim containing knowingly false information <...>, acting by deception and abuse of trust, misleading the court <...>. Continuing to realize his criminal intent, Ponomarev K.A. <...> Using the judicial procedure for considering civil disputes in their interests <...> and <...> to receive an appropriate court decision <...>. Thus, use the resulting court decision for theft of funds <...>.Ponomarev K.A., acting intentionally, out of selfish motives <...> filed a statement of the Smolensk region <...>.
As a result of the above criminal actions, Ponomarev K.A. <...> Judge <...> I. Tsutskova, misleading relatively the supposedly legitimate nature of the requirements of Ponomarev K.A. <...> I made a decision on the partial satisfaction of the requirements of Ponomarev K.A. <...>.
Thus, Ponomarev K.A. He made an attempt, that is, the intentional actions of a person directly aimed at committing fraud, that is, theft of someone else's property by deceiving and abuse of trust committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy, in a particularly large amount <...>. "
Such conclusions add delirium to this whole story, the essence of which is simple - I will not summarize, you yourself understood everything.
Yes, and the generators of all robbed companies still give electricity and bring someone profit to someone, and the state order is executed accurately, on time and almost free.
