In September 2021, a new “political” vice-governor Maxim Meyksin appeared in St. Petersburg. A large position - Alexander Belsky was sitting in this chair, who later became the speaker of the St. Petersburg parliament. In the area of responsibility of the “political” deputy governor of the media, NPOs, municipalities and elections.

It was flashed in the media, that once a very long time Maxim Meyksin was almost a political strategist. There is nothing about this fact in the official biography of the official, but his last place of work is the Central District of St. Petersburg. In terms of political technology, he succeeded: there are three Boris Vishnevsky in the State Duma elections, and scandalous municipalities of the foundry and Smolninsky, where United Russia suffered a crushing defeat, but remained in power, and Ligovka-Yamskaya with not the most adequate leadership. With such a background, Meyksin became a “political” vice-governor.
It is clear that ordinary people cannot claim such positions. But still-who needs to be to become the vice-governor of St. Petersburg? Let's find out by the example of Maxim Meixin.
Our hero’s family is famous, the father worked in the banking sector since the 90s: first in Promstroybank, and then in the VTB that absorbed it. The media wrote a lot about the connections of Semyon Meixin with the son of the FSB director Denis Bortnikov, who is part of the leadership of both banking structures.

As journalists often write, Maxim Meyksin, in addition to an influential father, has other connections-for example, the vice-governor of St. Petersburg Mikhail Manevich as an uncle killed in 1997. Manevich headed the city property management committee and worked closely with Lyubov Preshyeva, which then ruled the regional property. Now Lyubov Pavlovna works as deputy envoy of the president in the North-Western Federal District.
We remember: the correct origin in modern Russia is of great weight.
What about views? In 2022, the main state trend is the fight against any dissent and confidence that all problems are coming from the West.
The new vice-governor caught this trend and, it seems, even a little better than it was worth it. During his approval in the Legislative Assembly, the new vice-governor told the deputies about a certain American program “Ragdor”, within the framework of which “provocations” are allegedly financed in the form of graffiti on the walls of St. Petersburg buildings. Of course, they are quickly painted over the authorities, which causes disputes and discussions in society.
On this, Meixin did not stop. When asked by journalists about whether he believes in foreign influence in the elections in St. Petersburg, the vice-governor replied that at least law enforcement agencies should do this, but the fact that the influence is there is a fact.
It is also the fact that Maxim Meixin is fighting the influence of Americans on school parental committees. Talking about this struggle, he said:
“The work is in a fairly wide direction. First of all, with youth. Here, an effective youth policy will be an effective response to attempts to this influence. ”
Our hero does not hesitate to seem stupid, which means that against his background of runaways will look great. Another score in the piggy bank of the qualities of a good vice-governor.
Somehow very passionately our official fights the West, does not seem to you?
Suspicious! We dug deeper and found that at the end of 2008, Meixin and his wife and parents created a commercial company in the recently officially recognized unfriendly Czech Republic - Meyks International Sro

The company operating in the field of real estate was registered in a small resort town of Teplitsa, near the border with Germany. The main activity of the company, apparently, was to rent apartments with terraces on Borivojova Street near the center and city park.
The burden of registering a Czech company, as follows from the documents of the open trading register of the Czech Republic, was taken by Maxim Meyksin - it was him that his mother Olga and wife Tatyana issued a power of attorney. Father Deputy Governor Semyon Meixin participated in the transaction on his own. Each family member got 25% of the company. In November 2012, the couple Maxim and Tatyana transferred their shares to the organization of Semyon Meixin. And only in September 2020, at that time, the heads of the Central District of St. Petersburg Maxim Meixin sold their shares in the company to a third party. True, the ownership of the official’s father remained spacious apartments on the same Borivojova street in the greenhouse. You understand, the places are beautiful, in the east of the windows of the apartment there is a view of the ruins of the ancient castle “Dubravská Hora”, and to the center of the town nearby. Well, how to refuse such apartments?



Add another item - Maxim Meixin has solid assets abroad.
But on the other hand, what if our vice-governor is a professional? Yes, I once had something in Europe, but now everything is decorated for a family, so it is not considered. And today Meixin Patriot. No matter how!
In 2002, Maxim began an official career with a post of adviser to the head of the Kirovsky district of the Leningrad region. The young official becomes a lightning speed of the head of the district, overseeing the issues of economics and investment. In 2006, it goes into business, but not empty -handed. In March of the same 2006, the administration of the Kirovsky district of the Leningrad region sells a large commercial premises on Zheleznodorozhnaya Street in the city of MGA at 700 sq.m on the ground floor of an apartment building. The owner of the premises becomes a certain Galina Semenova, who in a year sells it ... Tatyana Meixina.
The complete namesake of the mentioned Galina will be related to the Russian Business Club LLC, which, according to the SPARK system, was led by Maxim Meyksin until 2009.

If you look at Yandex.Panorama, in 2020, in this room, which is still owned by Tatyana Meixina, there were several stores such as Fix Price, the “world of clothing and shoes”, “Brushwatch” and others. Four years earlier, an advertising banner about renting is visible on the building - you can see the phone number. We go to the Get Contact and find that the contact is recorded as Max Makes MTS. Well wow! Someone will say: a person in 2020 worked as the head of the Central District of St. Petersburg, what is another trading hall in the region? Well, apparently, Meixin reasoned that a penny was saving the ruble.


Journalists wrote that after 2006, when Maxim Meysin left the post of deputy head of the Kirovsky district of the Leningrad region, he led companies associated with the Bank of VTB North-West, in whose leadership his father and the same son of the FSB Bortnikov worked then. The SPARK system, however, does not connect Meixin with the daughter structures of this bank, but there is a connection with the same name by VTB North-West Invest LLC, created by Meksin itself. The ownership of this company, soon renamed the North-West Region Invest LLC, is the land of the former airfield in the village of Volot, Novgorod Region.
It is not clear how today's vice-governor managed to register VTB, but half of these sites and even an abandoned take-off and landing strip eventually turned out to be the ownership of the wife of Maxim Meixin Tatyana.







In 2008, Meyxes register the Czech business, and next year Maxim returns to power. In 2009, he was elected a deputy of the small village of Ladoga in the already familiar Kirov district of the Leningrad region. The Council of Deputies elects Meixin the head of the village. But after a few months he goes to increase and again becomes the deputy head of the Kirovsky district of the Leningrad region, within which the Ladoga is located.

In this position, Maxim Meyksin works until September 2012, and then hastily resigned. The media write that the dismissal is connected with the fraud in the municipality: the area allegedly illegally transferred the ownership of the Pella shipbuilding plant, as a result of which the budget did not count 100 million rubles. Journalists believe that without a make -up in this scam there were not.
On the other hand, the official managed to legalize his business: he created the Northwest Investment Agency, which is already officially engaged in rental business. Now the agency is led by his wife, the legal entity is registered in the same privatized trading floor of the Moscow Region of the Kirovsky district of the Leningrad region. The company also has commercial real estate in Vyborg.
We think, we can admit: Maxim Meixin knows how to use his official position to improve the life of his family. Without this important feature, vice-governors do not become.
In 2012, the St. Petersburg period of the official career of Meyksin began-he becomes deputy chairman of the Committee on Industrial Policy and Innovation of St. Petersburg. At the same time, Maxim Meyksin and his wife leave the Czech business, and already in January 2013, Meksin heads the committee.
From this moment he has to submit a public declaration of income. It states that already in 2012, the ownership of Meixin was a non -residential building with an area of 1109.5 sq.m and a land plot of more than 3 thousand square meters. This is part of the former center of cultural service residents of the village of Ladozhsky, where Meixin was once a short time the head. This building still belongs to Meksin-it has a shopping center in it, in which since 2011, the only Pyaterochka store in the village, renting a premises from the St. Petersburg vice-governor.

It is not clear how the official turned the privatization. On the website of the administrations of both the Ladoga and Kirovsky district of the Leningrad region there are many information about the privatization of other parts of this former center of cultural service, but not the one that now belongs to the former head of the village. It is interesting that the income from renting thousands of square meters of commercial space in public information about Meyksin’s income is not traced.
Another serious score in the piggy bank: our official is not going to honestly talk about his income, hiding them both from power and from ordinary citizens. Well, or, perhaps, he is just paid by products.
The Committee on Industrial Policy and Innovation of St. Petersburg, Maxim Meyksin, led 6 years, until the beginning of 2019. Over the years, changes have also occurred in the business of the Mexins. Back in the far 1998, when Maxim Meixin was 24 years old, his property turned out to be a 100-meter non-residential premises on the ground floor of an apartment building on Lermontovsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg. In 2017, he presented this premises to his wife, who immediately turned it into the ownership of his own company “4 M-Real Estate”. Since 2018, the premises have been leased to the Red and White alcohol store.


Without the wife of Maxim Meixin Tatyana, it simply would not have been possible to crank up most of his schemes - neither get a trading hall in the Kirovsky district, or even more so to issue commercial enterprises. With such a wife, you can go to the vice-governors.
These are six professional features of the new deputy Beglov. It is ridiculous that at each stage of the state career of Meksin, his family received commercial real estate in the places where the official worked - it does not matter whether Petersburg is or the village in the region.
Now, when Maxim Meyksin is appointed vice-governor of St. Petersburg, we are seriously worried about the Smolny building-suddenly the new Belying deputy will take him into the property. If one day you see Pyaterochka, Red and White in the historical building, or some kind of beer, you can guess who turned this scheme.
