Business projects with one of the most mysterious billionaires of Russia, threats to be on the bench of the defendants throughout the career, but as the final-the purpose of secretly dispose of the money of Petersburgers. “Chronicles. Media” first tell the biography of Vyacheslav Zakharov, the head of the representative office of St. Petersburg in the occupied Mariupol.
After the Russian troops destroyed most of the Ukrainian Mariupol and seized it, the governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov signed an agreement with the new authority of the city that a considerable part would be restored at the expense of Petersburgers.
In the fall of 2022, 1.19 million rubles were allocated from the budget of St. Petersburg to the work of the State Budget Institution “Directorate for ensuring the activities of the representative office of St. Petersburg in Mariupol”. What is characteristic, in the State Register of legal entities such an organization did not appear. The representatives did not spend money on the work of the representative office in 2023, and for 2024 they did not even put it in the budget. Now in Mariupol, at the expense of Petersburgers, the Module Center company is building a building for this representative office. Its expected estimate is 450 million rubles.
The Module Center belongs to St. Petersburg entrepreneur Nikolai Birulin and is engaged in the restoration of other objects in Mariupol. Since the beginning of the war, the company's revenue has grown by more than 20 times - from 128 million rubles, according to the results of 2021, to 2.7 billion rubles according to the results of 2023. At the same time, contracts were concluded without bidding.

All expenses for Mariupol are kept from taxpayers a secret. The city is restored by at least 25 St. Petersburg companies, and from the budget of St. Petersburg by mid -2023, up to 13 billion rubles were spent on this, the publication was calculated by the Paper. But all this time it was not known who heads the representative office?
And in the fall of 2024, the telegram channel “Twisting of St. Petersburg and Mariupol” called the head of this institution-Vyacheslav Zakharov. Later, a video with the new boss was published in the same channel.
In the same fall, Zakharova was mentioned by the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda. So who is this person?
In February 2024, Vyacheslav Zakharov left the post of deputy chief of the St. Petersburg Gosstroynadzor. This executive body conducts an examination of design documentation, issues permits for construction, commissioning facilities and monitors how the necessary requirements are complied by the necessary requirements.
Zakharov worked in Gosstroynadzor for more than 20 years. The Fontanka publication called him “the most honored”, and Governor Beglov handed the official of the honorary sign to the “Builder of St. Petersburg” of the first degree.

It is noteworthy that just a month before, on January 13, the St. Petersburg Gosstroynadzor was in the center of the scandal due to a large fire in Wildberries in Shushara. The fire raged on an area of 70 thousand square meters. m. Then it was Zakharov who commented on the situation and said that the complex worked without permission to put into operation. After the fire, a criminal case was opened under an article on abuse of authority by unidentified persons “performing managerial functions related to compliance with fire safety rules”. It seems that the reasons for the sudden resignation of the “most well -deserved” official of the regional state building supervision were obvious.
Vyacheslav Zakharov was born in 1966 in the city of Berdichev Zhytomyr region of Ukraine. In 1983 he entered the Leningrad Higher Military Engineering Construction School, which he graduated from a specialty engineer. From 1988 to 1992 he served in engineering positions in the construction and housing authorities of the Ministry of Defense forces, and then worked in the construction business of St. Petersburg.
In 1997, Vyacheslav Zakharov was one of the founders of the St. Petersburg LLC RUST, the Chronicle. Media found out. And although the company was liquidated at the end of 2023, its site still exists . It says that the company provides services for “obtaining a building permit, putting the facility into operation and construction control“ turnkey ”.

From 2011 to 2015, the second co -founder of Rusta Andrei Shutkov worked in the Gosstroynadzor. Judging by his declarations , he worked as the chief specialist of the department of supervision of the construction and reconstruction of the objects of the right -bank zone, which Zakharov once managed. On the Rusta website , he is still indicated as an employee of the team, "a leading specialist with extensive experience in the structure of the Gosstroynadzor." In recent years, the company itself has been issued to a relative of the former civil servant Alla Shutkov.

Shutkov’s career in the civil service ended with a criminal case for negligence (Article 293 of part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation): being an employee of the State Construction Supervision, he was responsible for the commissioning of the “Kurortic-Medical Center” in Zelenogorsk, which in fact turned out to be several quick-columnous hangars. In 2015, jokes pleaded guilty and received an amnesty on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
As for Zakharov, since 2001 he began to work as an inspector in the Department of State Architectural and Construction Supervision under the city committee on urban planning and architecture. Zakharov came to Gosstroynadzor in 2005 as an inspector, and two years later he became the head of the department for supervision of the objects of the right -bank zone, since the beginning of 2010 - the deputy head of the Gosstroynadzor department. In 2019, Zakharov appointed the acting head of the Gosstroynadzor. The previous leader had to leave a post after the FSB visits, which was looking for corruption in the department. In 2024, Zakharov himself had to leave Gosstroynadzor.
Now there is information on the website of the Kuibyshevsky District Court of St. Petersburg that Zakharov and the Gosstroynadzor are suing the prosecutor's office for a certain labor dispute. The case was registered in court on September 23, 2024. The next meeting will be held on February 25, 2025. What exactly appeals to the prosecutor and defends Zakharov is unclear.
Perhaps the most curious about the Zakharov family is that it is associated with one of the mysterious billionaires of Russia. And here's how. The former deputy chief of the St. Petersburg Gostroynadzor has a daughter Ksenia born in 1989. Now she bears the name of Petrov.

Ksenia-Council of Mega-Stroy LLC. Its second co -owner is Mikhail Barakin. The personality is extravagant.
Already at the age of 15 he published a magazine for whom he interviewed Patriarch Alexy and Vladimir Putin. Then the Fontanka publication wrote that the entrepreneur has a manual leopard and a lion . One of the days of birth of a businessman was held at the government residence in St. Petersburg. Barakin also has a business project with Philip Kirkorov. The singer also performed at the birthday of a billionaire in Dubai. For the sake of this holiday, TV presenter Ivan Urgant reproduced his program “Evening Urgant” on the stage specifically for the birthday man. Most importantly, it is not known for certain about the origin of Barakin and what exactly the business brings him such income.

As for the Mega-Stroy company, it is known for building a 17-story “Physical Cultural and Subanary Center” in the Kalinin district of St. Petersburg. The building, apparently, turned out to be an apart-hotel. Gosstroynadzor allowed construction back in 2015, but the work on the site began in the fall of 2018, when Barakin and Zakharov became co-owners of Mega-Stroy. And after her father, by his post, allowed to put the object into operation with his signature.

Around the construction there were many scandals and public attention: local residents held protests, deputies wrote requests, in response to which the state building supervision even issued instructions and suspended the work. These requirements, however, were never executed.

What is in the building now is not clear . They don’t sell apartments, they don’t rent offs, there are no information about the work of the physical education center.
Just in 2018-2019, Gosstroynadzor, under the leadership of Zakharov, checked the initial-permissive documents, which issued for the construction of apartments throughout the city. They did not find any violations. It turns out that while officials checked apartments throughout the city, Zakharov’s daughter was just building them.
In addition to this business, Ksenia was still a co-founder of Stroy-Snadzor LLC. It was engaged in public work on the construction of buildings. The entrepreneur belonged to 34% of the company. Other co -founders were Vitaly Perov and Vadim Tuzikas (33%each). They are the co-owners of the company "TN-Service" of the mother of Ksenia Olga, the ex-wife of Vyacheslav Zakharov.
Olga Zakharova, like her ex-wife, was born in 1966. Olga disappeared from Zakharov's declarations in 2017.
From 2014 to 2018, she was the co-founder of TN-Service LLC. This company was engaged in construction, and also made examinations in court cases with the participation of Gosstroynadzor. Then the share of Zakharova passed Vitaly Perov, and in 2016, Vadim Tuzikas also became the founder.
Tuzikas is the father -in -law of the former specialist of the state building supervision Pavel Zaikin. The latter, judging by the declarations , worked in the Gosstroynadzor until 2017. Later he worked in the already liquidated LLC "Juris VIA". In particular, it conducted an examination in court cases on construction and reconstruction.
On the network you can find a statement to the police on Zaikin, Zakharov and TN-Service. They were accused of taking bribes in exchange for permission to reconstruct the Parnas shopping mall in the village of Pargolovo in the north of the city.
The next time this village flashed in the biography of Zakharov in 2016. Then Gosstroynadzor appealed to the Arbitration Court with a lawsuit against LLC Rus AN. Officials demanded to demolish the office center on Vokzalnaya Street in Pargolovo, claiming that it was built without permission. In 2016, Rus Anga during the trial filed a request for a construction and technical examination, proposing to conduct her company Zakharov’s wife “TN-Service”. Gosstroynadzor did not mind. It is not clear from court documents that it established an examination, but businessmen and state building supervision concluded a settlement agreement. In 2019, Zakharov allowed to introduce a long-standing office center into operation.
Also, Vyacheslav Zakharov and Vadim Tuzikas have repeatedly tried to force them to pay for utilities through the court. In particular, in the Sestroretsk District Court, such cases were considered in 2014 and 2016 , and in 2017 the justice of the justice was considered a similar case there. Each time, the proceedings were terminated, but in the latter case, a definition was published from which it follows that Zakharov, Tuzikas and two more people from June 2007 had a non -residential building in the village of Peschny in the resort area of the city. Each of them had ¼ share of this real estate. It is noteworthy that in none of Zakharov’s declarations this building does not.
It is worth mentioning another connection between Tuzikas and Zakharov. In 2014, the wife of Pavel Zaikin Svetlana (Tuzikas’s daughter) got a small plot with a house of 115 square meters. m in the village of Beloostrov in the resort area of St. Petersburg. Previously, this real estate was owned by Olga Zakharov’s wife. This is reflected in anti -corruption declarations of both Zaikina and Zakharov.

Vyacheslav Zakharov still has a son Paul born in 1998. On his page on VKontakte, Pavel calls himself Lousy Egoist. This can be translated from English as "lousy/vile/vile egoist."
In 2015, when Pavel was only 17 years old, he became a co-owner of Real-Hydting LLC. This is the recreation center "Ladoga Lake" . The property of Real-Hydting has many sites with buildings on the shore of Lake Ladoga. Once it was a recreation center for the famous Galosh and other rubber products “Red Triangle” in the USSR.

Among other founders of Real-Hydting LLC were Vitaly Simonov and Andrei Shumsky. In August 2021, the share of Simonova passed to his daughter Alexander.
Vitaliy Simonov acted not just a random business partner of 17-year-old Pavel Zakharov, but had many things to do with the state building supervision, which were described in the high-profile trial.
From 2007 to 2021, Simonov was the owner and general director of Petro Development Group LLC. It was engaged in design and supervision in the field of construction. Around this company, a scandal flared up in 2021: according to investigators, in 2018, Simonov was an intermediary when transferring a bribe of 300 thousand rubles to Gosstroynadzor employees so that they “closed their eyes” for violations in Lenin Street in Shushars in South of St. Petersburg. 11 people took place in the case, and more recently the judge passed a conviction. Simonov was appointed 7 years conditionally with a fine of 300 thousand rubles.
Also, as the Chronicles. Media found out, in 2021 Pavel Zakharov received a salary in Petro Development of Groups Simonov. In addition, from 2023 to 2024, Pavel was a co -owner of the already liquidated bee company Pchelka, registered at the very address of the same recreation center Ladoga Lake. The co -owner of the enterprise was the wife of Simonova Vita.
Another co -owner of the recreation center “Ladoga Lake” was an officer of the Navy Andrei Shumsky. In 2017, the share of Shumsky passed to the daughter of Vyacheslav Zakharov Ksenia Petrova.

It is also known about Pavel Zakharov that, in addition to Real-Hydting LLC, from June to October 2024 he was a co-owner of the construction company Game. Motion. Now 40% of this company belongs to the former business partner of the Zakharov family at the Lake Lake Rest for the Navy officer Andrei Shumsky.
***
Thus, secretly mastering billions of rubles in the occupied Mariupol sent a “honored” official from construction, around which corruption criminal cases have been started for years, who repeatedly flickered in family conflicts of interests and provided his family with significant assets. He was ruined by the Petersburg career only a fire in the illegal Wildberries warehouse, but even after that Zakharov was sent not to the bench or resigned, but to secretly dispose of billions from the taxes of Petersburgers.
