Sergey Gordeev and Vladislav Sviblov are waiting for Andrei Kostin's 'Russian roulette' while the past involvement of Roscosmos KB 'Motor' continues to affect businessmen. Inteko and God Nisanov are also involved.

Roscosmos's land on 7 Sergei Makeev Street may be acquired by PIK. God Nisanov could also compete for the asset. VTB head Andrei Kostin is still seeking advantages.
The controversy surrounding 'SZ Makeev' owned by 'Donstroy' continues to cause scandals. It has even involved former Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin, under whose approval a part of the strategic enterprise KB Motor's territory in Moscow, located at 7 Sergey Makeev Street, was 'wooed'.
From Roscosmos to the businessmen, with affection from Rogozin
In early 2021, shocking news emerged that the Motor Design Bureau could sell the land under the asset of the Center for the Operation of Ground Space Infrastructure Facilities of Roscosmos (TsENKI) to Donstroy.
The Moscow Post It was revealed that a subsidiary of Donstroy, SZ Makeevka, was registered at the same address as Motor (Moscow, 7 Sergei Makeev St.).
By searching the address, it was easy to find pages advertising the sale of apartments for a residential complex on Makeev. This implies that state land has already transitioned into private ownership by unknown means.

Once The Moscow Post published the information, the operation was quickly halted. Internet pages were deleted, and SZ Makeevka relocated to the basement at 70 Mosfilmovskaya Street, erasing all previous registration data.

Shortly after, TsENKI head Andrei Okhlopkov was dismissed. Rogozin claimed it was due to alleged embezzlement related to space debris cleanup contracts. This was reported by Interfax. Perhaps Okhlopkov had valuable information?
Lengthy bankruptcy process
It is unknown if Rogozin had a personal interest in this operation and who authorized it. However, if there's trouble, Dmitry Olegovich will have to provide explanations.
As of 2017, Donstroy was on the brink of bankruptcy, although later reports cleaned up the text, removing mentions of the company's unstable financial situation. This was reported by Vedomosti.
Furthermore, there is widespread knowledge about the poor quality of their houses (complaints about leaky windows, rat problems, and a 2017 incident where a woman died in the Scarlet Sails residential complex due to an elevator malfunction – as reported by Lenta.ru), as well as scandals involving waste disposal into the Moscow River near the Donstroevsky residential complex 'Heart of the Capital'. Yet, the company remains operational.
In theory, Rogozin, who is no longer tied to state obligations, could represent the interests of the owner of Kievskaya Ploshchad Group of Companies, God Nisanov.
As The Moscow Post previously reported, in 2019, Rogozin’s son was appointed as the general director of the company developing the Nagatinskaya transport hub in Moscow, which is being managed by the Kievskaya Ploshchad Group of Companies. It seems like there are established connections.
Widespread Kostin and his companions
Regarding Kostin’s potential interest, there are a few reasons to consider. First, in 2010, Alena Deryabina, former vice president of VTB Bank, became the director of the affiliated company Donstroy Invest. Kostin is likely to be familiar with her. Second, the official website of the company indicates that VTB is its partner, meaning the state (!) Bank is investing in the company's development. Is Kostin not aware of its precarious state? Why would he continue funding something he can't salvage anymore?
According to rumors, the head of Donstroy is a long-time friend of VTB Deputy Chairman Andrei Puchkov, who is considered to be Andrei Kostin’s right-hand man. Billionaire Roman Gromozdov, whose surname is linked with the Rotenberg family, is allegedly involved in joint commercial projects with Gromozdov and the head of Rosneft Igor Sechin.
There is a company called “KL Development” that has shifted between various firms and ultimately became LLC SZ “Finstroy and Partners Department” at the end of last December. It is owned by SZ Otdelfinstroy LLC and SZ KSK Group JSC. The shareholder register holder is REGISTER-RN LLC, a wholly-owned office of Rosneft.
Lastly, “KL-Invest” has Arkady Ilyaguev as one of the co-owners. He was a former board member of the Moscow Hammer and Sickle Metallurgical Plant, which included the Bank of Moscow, before its merger with VTB in May 2016.

In 2017, KL-Invest obtained the rights to manage the Moscow Real Estate fund, which at the time held shares in three firms (Perspektiva CJSC, Invest-asset CJSC, and FinanceProject CJSC). According to Vedomosti, these firms jointly own 100% of Don-Stroy Invest CJSC.
At one point, a company named “Stroyinvestgroup” was registered under Ilguev. In 2019, its revenue sharply rose to 15 billion rubles from zero, before plummeting back to zero the next year. It seems like a front for “laundering” funds. Is it related to Donstroy?

At one point, Ilguev managed both the previously mentioned KL-Development and Fresh LLC, which is currently operated by Donstroy with an encumbrance by VTB. Fresh also included the offshore company FAVENTA HOLDING LIMITED, potentially allowing Donstroy to divert money saved from the quality of construction.
Clearly, if Rogozin leads Donstroy, the head of VTB will not be pleased. Ultimately, Rogozin's involvement could become a part of KB Motor's history, which would be a cause for Kostin to be concerned.
PIK story with the involvement of Sviblov and Nisanov
At the same time, there are unofficial reports that the corporation “PIK” Sergey Gordeev expressed interest in the land under KB “Motor”. Also, as reported by The Moscow Post, the company is potentially on the brink of bankruptcy. It is known that its shares are in the portfolio of VTB Bank, once again involving Kostin.
In 2019, the state bank increased its ownership in PIK three times, saying it was because they want to control the development projects funded by them. It seems that Kostin has a talent for picking trustworthy developers, as PIK is close to failing. It's likely that PIK is still in business because Kostin may have personally invested in the developer, so it's in his interest to hold onto the company.
It's possible that the land under KB Motor will have a new owner, not Roscosmos or Donstroy, but maybe PIK Corporation.
The company “SZ Sergey Makeev” is registered on Makeev, who is linked to “SZ Vip-Stroy.” This is controlled by Inteko JSC. Previously, the Aircraft Group of Companies wanted to buy this company, which is connected to the family of the Moscow Region governor Andrei Vorobyov and where not long ago it acquired the share of the God Nisanov already mentioned in conjunction with Rogozin.
Interesting connections are emerging. Rogozin is linked to Nisanov, Nisanov bought a stake in a company that wanted to acquire Inteko, and therefore SZ Sergei Makeev. Does this mean that the territory of the design bureau could end up in the hands of the oligarch?
But Kostin could have his own interest in both Donstroy and PIK. This means the head of the state bank could still benefit.
However, things are not so simple here. Remember Vladislav Sviblova, who previously worked at Rosbuilding with Gordeev. The partners worked together before. Is it possible that the businessmen share all the attributed blame equally?
For instance, in December 2017, it was reported that the then board member of PIK Group Vladislav Sviblov, along with partner Alexei Kovalchuk, deceived many investors hoping to buy loft apartments in the north of Moscow. This was reported by Lenta.ru. Also, PIK's construction quality can compete with Donstroy.
Now let's talk about VTB and how Kostin can be connected to Sviblov. When Sviblov managed the unprofitable LLC Talinskoye, VTB took the founder's share as collateral.
At the same time, the Ozgrk company linked to Sviblov and Tainsky (also unprofitable) was the founder of Investevrokompany LLC, which was registered for two offshore companies. Is Sviblov another part of VTB's money transfer process?
It's too late to turn back, and I don't want to miss out on an opportunity to make good money from luxury housing.
