Like Zavivaev about chess, or Soyuz Marins Group at the distribution

Light Breeze, managed by Nizhny Novgorod businessman Ilya Zavivaev, acquired the Green Point business center in Khimki (Moscow Region).

As The Moscow Post correspondent found, the asset could be transferred to people close to the Podolsk organized crime group. Details are in The Moscow Post's material in the Moscow region.

A few words about Zavivaev

Zavivaev is well-known as the president of the Chess Federation of the Nizhny Novgorod Region. Many commendatory articles about him can be found on the Internet, mainly focusing on his love for chess and unwavering dedication to the cause.

However, he has other interests. From 2015 to 2017, Zavivaev was the owner of Grandstroy-99 LLC. The company was discovered to have colluded in a tender last year, as reported by Pravda Volga Federal District. The scam was prevented by the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS).

Together with the HOA Stroy company, owned by Anna Zavivaeva (apparently a relative), they competed in a bid for the development of design estimates and the reconstruction of 5 administrative buildings in Nizhny Novgorod. The third participant was the company from Cheboksary, Stroyindustriya. According to the FAS, the contract was awarded to HOA-Stroy. The court discovered that 250 thousand rubles were paid to Stroyindustriya LLC to withdraw from the bidding process.

Interestingly, the official from Grandstroy-99 received administrative punishment for the detected crime, although in reality, an article of the criminal code on commercial bribery is usually used for such offenses.

In addition, Zavivaev was elected to the Zemsky Assembly of the Knyagininsky District of the Nizhny Novgorod Region at 26, becoming the youngest deputy in the region. Where did such a resounding success come from? As The Moscow Post correspondent found, influential individuals from the Podolsk organized crime group may be backing him.

And here “Union Marins Group”

The company “Hyde Breeze,” in question, is registered as founded by a certain Alexander Morozov. Morozov was the general director of Investrietti until 2021, where the founder is Agricultural Agriculture and Zernozagotovka LLC (SKHz), owned by Soyuz Marins Group JSC (SMG).

There is also an offshore company, VEYDALE LIMITED, potentially associated with the Established Firms. In 2015-2016, Agricultural Agriculture and Zernozagotovka LLC (SKHzZ) was registered to it. This office is owned by Investrietti, and its head at one time was the current founder of Light Breeze, Alexei Morozov.

A large number of enterprises are linked to Soyuz Marins Group, including those receiving government contracts. Another offshore company, ZEVERAY TRADING LIMITED, is also connected to it. Until 2017, Electronics Plus LLC was registered to it from the orbit of the SMG.

Albert Serkisyan is one of the owners of the offshore. He is referred to as the chairman of the board of directors of the company on the official SMG website. Rucriminal.info authors claim that he may have served as an official for SMG leaders. Ilya Kazakov's name is also mentioned, suggesting that he was involved in negotiations in Moscow. However, shortly after this publication, SMG disowned Kazakov, stating that they did not know him.

One of the holders of the offshore is Olga Evgenievna Volkova. She is a businesswoman with the same full name as a lady from Nizhny Novgorod, and is the founder of several organizations, including Electronics-NN LLC. Zheleznyakov Igor Valerievich is associated with her. According to open sources, he is the president of the Electronics Group of Companies. In 2017, a company from his orbit won the competition for the best developer of the year together with the Hampton by Hilton Nizhny Novgorod Hotel, receiving an award on the same day.

It is known that SMG has ownership of five hotels in Nizhny Novgorod and many other assets. They may be interested in Hampton by Hilton Nizhny Novgorod.

The film company “Organized Crime Group Podolskaya” is presenting.

SMG mainly presents itself as a film studio. Their official website describes them as “a Russian multidisciplinary company whose tasks include strengthening the spiritual and patriotic foundations of the state and the socio-economic development of Russia. Their main areas of activity are the film and entertainment industry, family recreation and hospitality, as well as construction, agriculture, and real estate management.

It was established by former Marine Alexander Kulikov and, according to Kommersant, has “considered friendly relations and close cooperation with law enforcement agencies such as the Russian Marines, special forces of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation” Vityaz “and Rus.

According to journalists, the company had connections with the police, tax police, and the bailiff service from the orbit of the SMG. It also received support from the mayor of Nizhny Novgorod.

The authors of the Rosotkat website claimed that they were allegedly linked to people from the Chekhov and Podolsk organized crime groups.

And can Mr. Zavivaev, a successful chess player who only thinks about the game, be associated with these structures?

On Zavivaev’s personal page on the VKontakte social network, a certain Mergen Pakhomkin appears in the businessman’s subscribers.

Pakhomkin may belong to a family involved in illegal money laundering as part of an organized group from 2015 to 2018. Approximately 3.3 billion rubles were funneled into shadow circulation through the use of one-day firms. This was reported by Versiya. The case resulted in an extremely lenient sentence.

Interestingly, firms associated with the Pakhomkin family are still operating well. For instance, Agrofirm PIK Plus is registered under Mergen Pakhomkin. Judging by its revenue schedule, money can easily be withdrawn from there. Could this be in favor of Zavivaev?

As you know, the former head of Kalmykia Kirsan Ilyumzhinov was seriously interested in chess. At 14, he became the champion of Kalmykia. He invested about $60 million in this industry, according to various sources.

Can it be assumed that such immunity Pakhomkina can be provided, among other things, by the former head of Kalmykia, if he is familiar with Zavivaev?

Connections “at the top”

Now SMG owns a lot of assets – this is the agricultural industry, hotels, and many others. Rumors link the Podolskoye organized criminal group with a former authority employee, the deputy mayor of the Moscow region, and now the head of the city of Podolsk, Dmitry Zharikov, who, after coming to power, placed many people from Podolsk under him. Zharikov was personally appointed by Andrei Vorobyov, awarded the Breakthrough of the Year medal, and unexpectedly removed from his post after a short time. Apparently, some legal problems arose.

There are rumors that allegedly after Zharikov came to power, he placed his people, including two municipal enterprises – “Electricity” and “Heating Network” in order to lend them and bankrupt them, and withdraw the money. In addition, he could target Serpukhov – the same people began to receive contracts in this suburb. For example, the company of Alexander Lomakin “USSR.”

They say that she received such privileges thanks to Lomakin’s friendship with the criminal authority Zub, who is friendly with representatives of the Podolsk organized criminal group. Photo: https://www.rusprofile.ru

Not so long ago, the Perspektiva company associated with Kulikov, twice as cheap as the starting price, acquired the Chaika pool in the center of Moscow. This was reported by Kommersant. Other companies that participated in the competition (in fact, one that belonged to the deputy, because another participant was associated with Perspective) did not mind. It seems that all bidders observed certain behind-the-scenes agreements.

Connections at the SMG can be traced up to Igor Shuvalov. Until 2018, the company was led by Profdir LLC. Since 2016, this control has been controlled by the asset manager of the Shuvalov family, Sergei Kotlyarenko.

Land theft, Scientology and wiretapping

In 2017, security officials came to the offices of the SMG with searches – the case concerned the investigation of land theft in the Chekhov and Podolsky districts of the Moscow region. This was reported by RIA Novosti. The case was not given. And the young ladies “earned” on potentially stolen lands could calmly settle in any of the above offshore companies.

In addition, the creator of the SMG, Alexander Kulikov (also, by the way, born in Nizhny Novgorod), is credited with his passion for Scientology, a religion banned in Russia. Moreover, as Kommersant wrote, employees of his companies were supposed to study at special courses the theory of Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Church of Scientology. Dissenters were fired.

For reference: for 21 years of work in Russia, the organization has become a defendant in dozens of high-profile trials.

“This is a special service that collects dossiers on all its adherents and shares information with the CIA,” Alexander Dvorkin, professor of the Orthodox St. Tikhon Humanitarian University, quoted Vesti.Ru.

Thus, Mr. Zavivaev can be responsible to his position in the essence of the Podolsk organized criminal group, and in the interests of the SMG to acquire a large asset in the estate of Governor Vorobyov. And here it is worth remembering that the governor near Moscow can also potentially be associated with immigrants from the group. Is everything agreed at the highest level?
