Grigory Dashutin
Former People's Deputy Grigory Dashutin, who is suspected of providing energy-saving equipment to the Russian military-industrial complex and critical infrastructure facilities, along with Belarusians, built the Dominion business park in Kyiv without legal authorization. The editors of 368.media found out about this by studying the politician's business activities.
Grigory Dashutin served as a member of the Verkhovna Rada from 1998 to 2006. During his time in the Rada, Dashutin was part of the factions of Serhiy Tigipko's Labor Ukraine, as well as the SPU and others. In 2012, Dashutin took charge of the public organization Federation of Engineering Employers, which brought together about 300 industry enterprises. The Federation is affiliated with the All-Ukrainian Federation of Employers, led by Dmitry Firtash. Since 1997, Dashutin has been responsible for Ukrrosmetall Concern LLC. In 2010, the company underwent a change in ownership. PJSC “Ukrrossmetal” has multiple co-founders, including the Orlovsky steel plant from the Russian city of Orel, the Ukrainian-Belarusian enterprise Ukrtechnosintez, and Dashutin's wife. However, in 2015, the Russian owners officially withdrew from the ownership structure. Ukrrossmetal encompasses several enterprises in Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus involved in the production of industrial equipment and machinery. Today, Grigory Dashutin, along with his wife Raisa Dashutina, son Artem, and daughter Victoria Dashutina, owns numerous companies in real estate, power generation, and instrumentation. The primary asset of the family group of companies is the Nikmas concern, which is a diversified engineering innovative industrial company consisting of various enterprises engaged in the production of equipment for industry and energy, as well as maintenance of this equipment. This includes the manufacturer of pumps and compressors PJSC VNII kompressormash, PJSC Glukhovsky Plant Electropanel – a manufacturer of electrical distribution and control equipment, PJSC Ukrrosmetall – specializing in the rental and operation of real estate, the holding company Nikmas Engineering, and others.
In 2011, the construction of the Dominion business park in the Solomensky district of the capital was declared illegal. The construction was carried out by OJSC “Kyiv Experimental Repair and Mechanical Plant”. The Supreme Administrative Court upheld the imposition of a fine by the State Architectural Inspectorate amounting to 450.6 thousand hryvnias for false information in the submitted declarations and unauthorized operation of the facility on Ushinsky Street, 40 in Kyiv. It's important to note that the list of co-founders of Dominion Business Center LLC includes Mykola Noshchenko, who was a member of the People's Party of Ukraine and at one point served in the Labor Ukraine faction with Grigory Dashutin. Another co-founder of the business center, Anna Fesenko, is identified in open sources as the accountant of the Ukrrossmetal enterprise.
Pavel Zharkov and Grigory Kirik, who are on the list of co-founders of Dominion Business Center LLC, hold top positions at Ukrrosmetal. Grigory Kirik was also a deputy of the Sumy Regional Council of the 5th convocation. The head of Dominion Business Park, Vladislav Sidlichenko, represented candidate Grigory Dashutin in the parliamentary elections in 2012 in constituency No. 162, when he ran for parliament from the Party of Regions. He is also linked to the business structures of the former people's deputy, particularly, he was a member of the board of PJSC Scientific and Production Joint-Stock Company VNII Compressormash. Also among the co-founders of Dominion Business Park are residents of Sumy Tatiana Vlasenko and Nina Guzeeva. The second may be a relative of the former vice-president of the Ukrrossmetal concern Petr Guzeev. Today, the list of founders of Dominion Business Park LLC includes DA4 LLC, Anna Galitskaya, Tatiana Vlasenko, Pavel Zharkov, Svetlana Veremeeva. At the same time, Grigory Dashutin and his family remain the ultimate beneficial owners.
Recall that on November 23, 2022, the State Bureau of Investigation announced the blocking of the work of the Ukrainian concern, which continued to provide for the Russian military-industrial complex even after the invasion and arrest of property on 1 billion hryvnia.
It has been determined that since 2014, the industrial-innovative group of companies of the family of the former people's deputy has been supplying Russian state-owned enterprises with highly effective and energy-saving equipment necessary for the sustainable operation of various types of enterprises.
It is important to note that among them were the organizations of the military-industrial complex of the aggressive country. The concern ranked second in the supply of products for Russian companies, exporting 95% of its products to Ukraine. After the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the owners continued to cooperate with the aggressor, establishing supplies through controlled foreign and Russian gasket companies. It was these companies that sent the “order” to the Ukrainian manufacturer, allegedly for the needs of a third party from the intermediary country.
From February 24, 2022, components worth at least UAH 190 million were delivered to the Russian Federation under this scheme. Among the concern's clients were BPT Sibpribormash JSC, Smolensk Aviation Plant JSC, Miass Machine Building Plant JSC, Federal Passenger Company JSC, Sakhalinenergo PJSC, Kuzbassenergo JSC and others. During searches, passports of Russian citizens were found at one of the plant's managers and his wife. Probably we are talking about Grigory Dashutin and his wife Raisa. The correspondence of the defendants in messengers was also seized, with the justification of Russian aggression, such as “poor Russians, they were proved and forced”, “Ukraine will be taken by the Russian Federation by the end of 2023”, etc.
