Damir Gazizov: his man for a hundred billion. “When there is something to build, it is interesting to live

The state-owned enterprise "Department of Civil Construction" (KP "UGS") (the capital's largest customer - the developer of housing and social facilities) has a new boss - Damir Gazizov. He was appointed on November 18, 2014, and he is still in the status of acting.

The state-owned enterprise "Department of Civil Construction" (KP "UGS") (the capital's largest customer - the developer of housing and social facilities) has a new boss - Damir Gazizov. He was appointed on November 18, 2014, and he is still in the status of acting. Eight years ago, Gazizov, head of the Kazan Department of Civil Engineering, was suspected of abuse of power in a tender for the construction of a central stadium in the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan (RT). The prosecutor's office of the Republic of Tatarstan opened a criminal case against him. As it became known to Ko, this case has been investigated again by the Investigative Committee of the ICR in the Republic of Tatarstan since December 5 last year.

Since the appointment of Marat Khusnullin in 2010 as Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Policy and Construction, all key positions in the Moscow construction complex have been occupied by people from Tatarstan.

Andrey Belyuchenko, Gazizov's predecessor, who headed UGS for three years, left his post. The state-owned enterprise refused to explain the reason for the dismissal of Belyuchenko. Khusnullin thanked Belyuchenko for his work with a diploma. Over the three years of operation, UGS has built 1.58 million square meters. m, or 131 houses, 50 kindergartens, 6 schools, 4 blocks of primary classes for 12,635 places, the Sambo sports palace, the MIPT technopark. In 2015-2016 100 more houses will be built. Belyuchenko himself on November 19, immediately after his dismissal, on his Facebook page posted a video with a report on the work, demonstrating how the Civil Engineering Department, to the iron rhythm of Georgy Sviridov’s music “Time Forward!”, Which was preceded by the news program “Vremya” in the late The USSR is building Moscow. Builders with the label UGS appear even in the footage of the Soviet chronicle.

Meanwhile, UGS is becoming an increasingly interesting place to work. In 2013-2015 UGS will receive 121 billion rubles. budget money for housing construction, 19.84 billion rubles. for the construction of 82 kindergartens and 19.7 billion rubles. - for 60 schools, according to the Targeted Investment Program of the Moscow Government. 100 billion rubles housing has already been received. The UGS distributes these funds among construction companies in accordance with the law “On the Procurement of Goods, Works, Services by Certain Types legal entities by holding tenders. The plans for construction in the "new Moscow" and work on the design of 1.5 million square meters. m of housing, 54 schools, 32 kindergartens and other facilities.

Who is Damir Gazizov?

52-year-old Damir Gazizov is an honored builder of the Republic of Tatarstan. He graduated from the Kazan Civil Engineering Institute with a degree in civil engineering, a candidate of economic sciences. Since 1999, Gazizov worked in the Kazan mayor's office: in 2001-2005. - Head of the Reconstruction Department of the Administration of Kazan; from 2005 to April 2006 - head of the capital construction and reconstruction department of the administration of Kazan. In February 2006, as the Kommersant newspaper reported, the Tatarstan prosecutor's office opened a criminal case against Damir Gazizov, head of the capital construction and reconstruction department of the executive committee of Kazan. Gazizov, according to law enforcement officers, gave the contract for the reconstruction of the central stadium of the city to Kazan LLC Intekhstroy, which was led by his friend Pyotr Sotnikov, putting pressure on the members of the tender commission. At the same time, during the reconstruction, part of the funds allocated for it budget funds was kidnapped. The money, according to the prosecutor's office, was stolen in the following way: Intekhstroy LLC bought an elevator from the Moscow representative office of KONE. The real cost of the elevator, together with delivery, installation and configuration, could be, according to investigators, 1.5 million rubles. However, Intekhstroy LLC indicated in the documents the amount of 2 million rubles. and received the money in their accounts. A criminal case was initiated against Mr. Sotnikov under Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Fraud”). Damir Gazizov faced up to four years in prison, and Petr Sotnikov - up to six years. Almost immediately after the initiation of the criminal case, in April 2006, Gazizov was fired. Kazan LLC Intekhstroy, where Petr Sotnikov was the head, is not in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. The construction company LLC Intekhstroy-R, where Sotnikov owned 50%, was liquidated in 2013, according to the Kontur-Focus service.

Gazizov pleaded not guilty. Supervisory authorities - the control and audit commission of the Ministry of Finance, the Accounts Chamber and the tax authorities - checked the construction for misuse of budget funds and did not find any violations. The contract for the general contract with Intekhstroy LLC was extended by the directorate of targeted regional programs under the administration of Kazan. The prosecutor's office of Tatarstan, in response to Co's question about the Gazizov case, replied that the case against Gazizov and Sotnikov was closed in 2006 "due to the failure to identify the person subject to criminal liability."

The prosecution failed to collect evidence of Damir Gazizov's guilt.

But in December 2014, the case was sent for a new investigation by the Investigative Committee of the ICR in the Republic of Tatarstan. The prosecutor's office does not report the results of the investigation.

All the time while Gazizov worked in the structures of the Kazan City Hall, Marat Khusnullin worked as the Minister of Construction, Architecture and Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan (from May 2001 to November 2010).

In 2013, Gazizov worked in the Moscow LLC GSS Engineering Group, which is developing a project for an indoor ice rink in microdistrict No. 26 of Kazan, commissioned by the Moscow State Institution "Department of Capital Construction and Reconstruction of the Executive Committee municipality city ​​of Kazan. The design cost is 4.5 million rubles, the deadline is December 2016. That is, Damir Gazizov led a company that received a state order from the department that he himself once headed. This is probably a coincidence. The phone number of GSS Engineering Group was unavailable.

Earlier, at the invitation of Marat Khusnullin, 15 people from Tatarstan came to work in the Moscow government. Among them are Konstantin Timofeev, head of Mosinvestkontrol (before that, he headed the Moscow bank Ak Bars; Khusnullin began his career in Ak Bars structures); Rafik Zagrutdinov, First Deputy Head of the Moscow Department of Construction (he worked at the Mortgage Agency of the Republic of Tatarstan, like Marat Khusnullin); Sergey Levkin, Head of the Department of Urban Planning Policy of the Government of Moscow (he was the General Director of OAO Special Economic Zones in 2007-2010 and oversaw the Alabuga SEZ in Tatarstan); Vladimir Shvetsov, Deputy Head of the Department for Construction of the Metro and Transport Infrastructure (from 2001 to 2007 he worked in the government of the Republic of Tatarstan as the Minister of Transport and Roads). Lenar Gubaidullin (former general director of Tatstroy, the largest construction company in Kazan) is now the general director of State Unitary Enterprise Mosekostroy. This is the State Unitary Enterprise - the customer of the city of Moscow for the reclamation of landfills for the disposal of MSW (solid domestic waste) in the Moscow region. Ernest Mavlyutov, the former chief architect of Kazan, works as deputy chairman of the Moscow Committee for Architecture. In 2011-2013 He was the director of the State Unitary Enterprise "NIiPI General Plan of Moscow". Mosinzhproekt, which received a contract for 556 billion rubles. from Moscow, headed by Konstantin Matveev. He was the general director of Neftegazengineering LLC, the company that built the Taneko oil refinery in Nizhnekamsk.

“You can call it in different ways: clannishness, fellowship or nepotism, but this is how the bureaucratic system works in our country,” notes Rais Suleimanov, an expert at the National Strategy Institute. - Damira Gazizova in this regard should be considered as a person of Marat Khusnullin: in the past they were connected by a common field of activity - construction. One led this while sitting as a minister in Tatarstan, the other had a smaller scale - only Kazan. And the fact that in their past in Kazan there were, let’s say, dark spots, well, it’s okay: they are even more proven by previous work experience.”

UGS - bread place

The history of the creation of the UGS is interesting. In August 2011, Andrey Belyuchenko, a shareholder of the large development company Vedis Group (he had 10%), left the business to work in the city government and headed the state-owned enterprise Moscow Center for Children and Family Recreation (MTsDSO). It is the largest city customer for kindergartens and other social facilities. Prior to Vedis Group, Belyuchenko worked as a development director at Horus Capital, a company created by Senator Sergei Gordeev, a notorious M&A player. In the crisis years of 2008-2009 GC "Vedis" broke into the market leaders by building 1.5 million square meters. m of economy class housing (LCD in Marfino, Golovino, Michurino, etc.). According to the sources of "Ko", such a rapid growth happened due to the fact that Belyuchenko could quickly coordinate project documentation in the Moscow government.

Belyuchenko had his own design company - Terra Auri CJSC. In 2010, "Terra Auri" won the competition for the design of 13 kindergartens (KEI) in Moscow out of 24 in densely built microdistricts. In two preschool projects"Terra" was also a technical customer. The construction of these 13 preschool educational institutions cost the Moscow budget about 3 billion rubles. Terra earned up to 5% of this amount plus 1% on the technical order; only about 150 million rubles. In March 2011, Terra Auri received the honorary title of "Supplier of Goods and Services for the Needs of the Government of Moscow" for designing 13 preschool educational institutions in Moscow in record time. In addition, the new projects of Terra's kindergartens - the modular "Rostok" and "Semitsvetik" (for microdistricts with dense buildings in built-in and attached premises) - were selected by the party " United Russia» out of a hundred regional projects and are recommended for mass construction. With such excellent recommendations, Terre is practically guaranteed a city order, and Belyuchenko has opened the way to the chair of a major city customer.

Some time after Belyuchenko took over as the head of the WDCSO, in the fall of 2011 he sold his company Terra Auri to Denis Borodako, financial director of the Vedis Group of Companies. In the fall of 2012, the WDCSO was renamed the Office of Civil Engineering (UGS), its functions have expanded significantly, and its budget has grown. The new state-owned enterprise of the Moscow government is building not only social facilities, but also housing at the expense of the budget.

Until 2013, state orders from CJSC Terra Auri were relatively small - for technical orders and design, and these services cost tens of millions of rubles. But in 2013, Terra began to receive government orders not only for design, but also for construction. The revenue of Terra Auri CJSC in 2013 reached 5.6 billion rubles. Growth in comparison with 2012 - 1576%. The volume of state orders of CJSC "Terra Auri" to date is 3 billion rubles, of which 2.9 billion rubles. received in the last 12 months. However, the share of "Terra" in the state order from the Department of Civil Engineering is less than 10% (the total volume of orders placed by this state-owned enterprise is now 46.9 billion rubles). It has more than doubled compared to last year.

Denis Borodako himself told Co. that his main clients are not government, but commercial structures. Today, his company is going to design a 200,000 sq. m for Oleg Deripaska's Glavmosstroy in the Moscow region, plus another project in old Moscow (its parameters were not disclosed).

Andrei Belyuchenko left the head of the UGS with a diploma, and Damir Gazizov was accepted there, despite the unpleasant stories in his life. It is clear: the UGS budget is large, and the head of the Moscow construction complex, Marat Khusnullin, wants to control its distribution through his people.

Tatar officials, military managers, Chechen businessmen

Ivan Golunov

As Meduza has already reported, the Moscow authorities have been preparing for a new program to demolish residential buildings and relocate their residents for the past few years. In particular, new buildings for future settlers began to be erected even before the vote on the renovation program took place - the city budget has already spent more than 70 billion rubles on their design and construction. Meduza special correspondent Ivan Golunov carefully studied those who received this money, and found among them numerous acquaintances and former partners of the Deputy Mayor of Moscow Marat Khusnullin and other interesting people.

"Social anthill" and its creators

The Moscow government has been preparing to launch a new demolition and resettlement program for the last four years - and houses for would-be resettlers were being built even before the renovation program was announced. From October 2016 to February 2017, the city authorities held 51 competitions and selected contractors for the construction of residential buildings in microdistricts, which were later included in the program. In most cases, the addresses of new buildings coincide with proposals for houses for migrants, developed earlier by order of the mayor's office; in April 2017, when the voting on the renovation program had not even begun yet, the heads of some councils had already given these addresses to the future alleged migrants.

Competitions in which contractors were selected were held by the city-owned Civil Engineering Department (UGS), created in 2011 at the initiative of Vice Mayor Marat Khusnullin. It is this company that is responsible for social facilities and housing, which is being built at the expense of the state. In the spring of 2017, Meduza’s sources in the Moscow government reported that the Renovation Assistance Fund would be created precisely on the basis of UGS, but at the end of July, the head of the Moscow Department of Construction, Andrei Bochkarev, said that after the creation of the fund, which will deal with houses for migrants, “ UGS" will continue to build social facilities and housing for those on the waiting list. Nevertheless, by that time the company had already held several dozen tenders, in which designers and builders of new houses were selected in areas where renovation is now taking place.

In total, the state has already allocated 70.4 billion rubles for the construction of 78 new houses for migrants. All these houses are on the list of launch sites for houses under construction under the renovation program, which was published by Vedomosti on August 14.

The largest UGS project at the moment is the Nekrasovka area near Lyubertsy, built up with panel houses of the maximum allowable number of storeys (24 floors) and located near the waste incineration plant and Lyubertsy treatment facilities. Locals call Nekrasovka a "social anthill"; Khusnullin himself “categorically” does not like it - the vice-mayor even said that in the end they decided not to build up the central part of the district according to the original plan, but to turn it into a park.

Another landmark project of UGS is a new district of 11 residential buildings on the site of Russian Railways warehouses at the end of Korovinskoye Highway. It was supposed to be designed and built by the Terra Auri company, which received a contract in the amount of 6.7 billion rubles at the competition, in which it was the only participant; however, since the company does not have its own construction capacities, the work itself was eventually carried out by subcontractors. As a matter of fact, in 2012-2015, Terra Auri received contracts from UGS for more than 29 billion rubles - and regularly hired other companies to fulfill them.

The founder and sole owner of Terra Auri in 2009, according to SPARK-Interfax, was Andrey Belyuchenko (Medusa could not find more recent data). The same Belyuchenko in 2011-2014, when Terra Auri received large government orders, headed UGS; he himself claimed that before moving to work in the city hall, he sold his business to the general director of Terra Auri. After Belyuchenko left UGS in November 2014, Terra Auri stopped receiving contracts from the enterprise - in 2016, its revenue decreased by six times.

After Belyuchenko, UGS was headed by the honored builder of Tatarstan, an old acquaintance of Vice Mayor Khusnullin: when he headed the Ministry of Construction of Tatarstan in the 2000s, Gazizov worked as head of the capital construction and reconstruction department of Kazan, where he was responsible for preparing the city for the celebration of the millennium and the Universiade. Gazizov left the civil service in 2006 - shortly after a criminal case was initiated against him: according to investigators, the official gave the contract for the reconstruction of the central Kazan stadium to his friend's company, which, in turn, stole 500 thousand rubles allocated for the installation of an elevator . A few years later, the case was closed because the investigation was unable to identify "the person subject to criminal liability."

After that, Gazizov became a co-owner of the GSS Engineering construction company - and in 2014 he began working with Khusnullin again, but now as the head of the Moscow UGS.

Vice Mayor and countrymen

Gazizov is not the only acquaintance of Vice Mayor Khusnullin involved in the renovation program - others own companies that will build houses for IDPs.

Thus, 3.3 billion rubles for the construction of four houses in the Kotlovka and Northern Izmailovo districts was received by the Farvater industrial and construction company. Her website indicates that she is involved in several major projects supervised by the construction complex of the Moscow government: the reconstruction of the Luzhniki stadium and the Helikon-Opera theater, the creation of the Zaryadye park and the construction of residential buildings in Kuntsevo for migrants under the previous five-story building demolition program . Farvater is no less active in Tatarstan: according to the website, the company built facilities in Innopolis and in the Alabuga special economic zone, and was also engaged in the Taneko oil refinery. Almost all of these projects, however, were completed before November 2014, when the Farvater company was registered. At the same time, several middle managers of the company at once, as follows from their resumes, until 2014 worked in the structures of GSS Engineering, which was then owned by Damir Gazizov.

GSS Engineering, in particular, participated in the construction of Olympic facilities (for example, the Fisht stadium in Sochi, where the opening and closing of Winter Games 2014) and even opened a boutique hotel in Krasnaya Polyana in partnership with designer Denis Simachev, spending 2.5 billion rubles on it, most of which were loans. This ruined the company - in September 2014, one of its creditors, Gazprombank, began the bankruptcy procedure for GSS Engineering (its total debt amounted to 1.3 billion rubles). It is not known what part of the company's property and employees transferred to Farvater.

Another old acquaintance of Marat Khusnullin is Rashid Nurullin, who grew up in the same city as the vice-mayor (the Tatar regional center of Chistopol). In the late 1990s, he worked as a senior manager at the commercial and industrial firm Ak Bars, which was then headed by Khusnullin; then both were deputy general directors in the state company Tatenergo. After Khusnullin became the Minister of Construction of Tatarstan, Nurullin worked in the local main investment and construction department, which oversees social facilities and budget housing in the republic (UGS is actually its Moscow counterpart). Now Nurullin heads the board of directors of the IP Group company, which has been operating in Moscow since 2013: for example, she was building a new mosque near the Prospekt Mira metro station, and in last years designs residential buildings commissioned by UGS. IP Group will build two "starter" houses in the south-west of Moscow for migrants under the renovation program - the contract amounted to 1.82 billion rubles; The company also designed four residential buildings on Sudostroitelnaya Street in Nagatino, where the residents of the buildings that supported the renovation program should move at the end of the year.

Another Tatar company, Alev Group, is designing new residential buildings for the Kuzminki district, where more than 200 five-story buildings have been included in the renovation program. It was founded by former employees of MD-Arch, which in the 2000s was one of the most successful construction holdings in Tatarstan, but in 2013 began to experience problems with orders. In Moscow, over the past few years, Alev Group has been developing schools and kindergartens by order of UGS - and also designed 18-story residential buildings in Kuzminki, where migrants from five-story buildings should move in 2018.

Defensive Builders

The construction of two houses for IDPs in Kuzminki - as well as three "starter" houses of the renovation program in Konkovo ​​and the Losinoostrovsky district - will be a little-known Construction and Installation Company, which will receive 5.56 billion rubles from the mayor's office for this. Its owners and management often change, but most of them are associated with construction businesses in Tatarstan - for example, the current CEO of SMK Mikhail Vagaitsev was previously a co-owner of another development company along with Marat Kushaev, a native of a well-known Tatar construction dynasty and a former top manager of the state corporation Olympstroy ”(as well as the initiator of the installation of a monument to Baron Munchausen in Moscow).
Marat Kushaev
As its address, the company indicates an ordinary residential building in the center of Moscow, and two mobile phone, specified in the registration data, have been turned off for several weeks. However, in the contract with UGS, the company indicated a different phone number; if you call him, on the other end of the wire they say that this is the company "Vybor stroy montazh".

A company with a similar name, Choice Stroy Project (VSP), is a champion in contracts for the construction of "starter" houses in the areas of the renovation program: it will receive almost 10 billion rubles from the state and build houses in Ostankino, Ochakovo, Izmailovo and Bogorodskoye. In addition, in December 2016, VSP bought the construction company Mosotdelstroy No. 7 from the city for 173.5 million rubles, and along with it, contracts for the construction of three houses for migrants in Beskudnikovo. At the same time, in one of the first houses that VSP built by order of the city - in Bolshoi Tishinsky Lane - during the inspection, violations were found during pouring of concrete, which led to the formation of voids in the walls.

The company, registered in October 2015, is owned by some Marina Ode and Andrey Smirnov. Dozens of other companies are registered at the address where VSP is registered, and its telephone numbers are not even indicated in contracts with UGS. A Meduza correspondent found the company's phone on the information board at a construction site on Schelkovskoye Highway. The man who answered the phone asked to call back to the office of the same company "Vybor stroy montazh". Another phone number is on the information board of a house for migrants that VSP is building in Ochakovo-Matveevsky. It coincides with the number indicated by the Construction and Installation Company when registering with the Self-Regulatory Organization of Builders (SRO) - and representatives of the Choice of Construction Installation pick up the phone.

"Vybor stroy proekt" was registered in Krasnogorsk. Two sources of Meduza in the Moscow construction complex said that the beneficiaries of VSP are the owners of the Vybor developer near Moscow, military builders Vadim Pischik and Yuri Akulov. Previously, they worked in large state-owned companies created on the basis of the main military construction department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation; in fact, on the basis of a subdivision of one of them - GVSU Center - the Vybor holding was created. This unit was called "SMU No. 1", and it was headed by Yuri Akulov. In 2010, the company was liquidated, its last CEO was the current co-owner of VSP, Andrey Smirnov. Now "Vybor" is one of the largest developers in the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region, and the company "Vybor stroy montazh", which is part of the holding, is building kindergartens in the Moscow region and.

In the fall of 2014, Vybor Stroy Montazh, which was building a laboratory nanotechnological complex for MEPhI, was accused of overstating the construction estimate by 84.5 million rubles and cashing out most of this amount. The company was also accused of not paying wages to builders. Family members of the owners of the Vybor holding, Akulov and Pischik, also own a quarter of Voronezh Bank (220th in terms of assets in Russia), where searches were carried out in March 2017; their reasons were not specified.

There are among the winners of tenders for the construction of houses for migrants other companies created on the basis of the former construction departments of the Ministry of Defense or their employees. So, two houses on 5th Parkovaya Street are being built by Regionpromstroy, whose president is Alexander Kosovan- former Deputy Minister of Defense, former head of the Moscow Department of Construction and current adviser to Vice Mayor Khusnullin (the company is owned by the children of Kosovan). In 2014-2017, Regionpromstroy received contracts worth 59.7 billion rubles from UGS, including for the construction of residential buildings under the previous program for the demolition of five-story buildings. Four more houses for migrants are being built by the same GVSU Center: the former division of the Ministry of Defense was privatized in the 2000s, and now its board of directors is headed by the co-owner of SMP Bank (and an old acquaintance of Vladimir Putin) Boris Rotenberg; the company also worked as a subcontractor on contracts that Terra Auri won from the city.

A native of the military construction departments and Sergey Levkin, the current head of the department of urban planning policy in Moscow, in which a new renovation program has been developed since the end of 2013. Until the mid-2000s, Levkin headed the Military Construction Department of the city of Moscow, subordinate to the Ministry of Defense (along with the GVSU Center, it was the largest commander-in-chief of the department). In 2005, when he left management, part of his assets was spun off into an independent organization, Capital Investment Company, the sole owner of which is Evgenia Levkin's daughter. She also heads one of the departments. budget institution"Mosstroyinform" - it was it that created the showroom of the renovation program at VDNKh, which was opened in early July by the mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin.

In the interval between the structures of the Ministry of Defense and the Moscow government, Levkin met the future vice-mayor Marat Khusnullin. He, as the Minister of Construction of Tatarstan, was responsible for the construction of the special economic zone "Alabuga" - and Levkin, who headed the state company "Special Economic Zones", oversaw the progress of work. “I had good, good, human relations with him,” Levkin later recalled. - We met during his trips to Moscow, told each other about projects and plans. If I came to Tatarstan, we also saw each other. Probably, a few years later, he saw something in me, having come to the Moscow government, and invited me to the team.

When in 2015 the Accounts Chamber of Russia, on behalf of President Vladimir Putin, checked the Special Economic Zones, it turned out, in particular, that when the company was headed by Levkin, it spent 96 million rubles to create the Baikal Gate tourist zone on a site later recognized as unsuitable for these purposes: as the auditors noted, there was simply a swamp there.

At the end of 2010, Levkin began working as the head of the Moscow Department of Urban Planning Policy. Together with him, other former employees of the "Special Economic Zones" also moved to the mayor's office. For example, the former chief accountant of the company Georgy Prangishvili headed the State Unitary Enterprise "Department for Reconstruction and Development of Unique Objects" (URIRUO). The organization also won contracts for the construction of houses for migrants under the renovation program, and then transferred them to private companies. In Nagatino, three houses are being built by Vneshstroyimport, a former subdivision of the Special Economic Zones, privatized by its general director, Levkin's colleague in the military construction department, Pavel Kalinin. The same "Vneshstroyimport" is also building other "starter" houses under the renovation program - the total amount of contracts received by the company is 5.5 billion rubles.

URIRUO transferred contracts for the construction of houses in the Mozhaisk district to the 315 UNR group of companies - it also has its own contracts with UGS for houses for migrants totaling 5.82 billion rubles. This company, which did a lot of construction of commercial housing in the Moscow region, also grew out of the structures of the Ministry of Defense - it is owned by the former head of the 615th construction department of the department, Colonel Vladislav Zavyazkin and his deputy Alexander Nersesyan. There are connections between Zavyazkin and Sergei Levkin. In 1996, the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper published an article about the construction of a school in the new Moscow district of Zhulebino, where, in particular, it was noted: “The construction was carried out for only eight months, but military builders - the chief engineer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Sergei Levkin, Lieutenant Colonel Vladislav Zavyazkin and many of their colleagues - here more than once will be remembered with a kind word.

Adam Delimkhanov and others

Slightly more than two billion rubles for the construction of four houses in the Golovinsky district will be received by Realstroyinvest-M. As stated on the company's website, it previously specialized in the construction of facilities commissioned by the FSB and the National Guard - in particular, the bases of border ships in Gelendzhik and Astrakhan, a certain "special purpose facility" in Krasnodar, as well as FSB representative offices in the Novosibirsk, Tver and Ulyanovsk regions - and in Chechnya.

Even more closely connected with Chechnya is the company Smart Management, which is building two houses in Kotlovka (the amount of contracts is about 1.3 billion rubles). The company, owned by businessman Said-Magomed Zubayrayev, was established two years ago and has yet to build a single building. Now she is an investor in two megaprojects in Grozny - the largest in the North Caucasus shopping center Grozny Mall and the Akhmat Tower, which should become the tallest skyscraper in Europe (cost - 66 billion rubles). In Moscow, "Smart Management" works for the first time; State Duma deputy came to the opening of the Moscow office of the company Adam Delimkhanov, who is called the right hand of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov.

Another major builder of houses for migrants under the renovation program is the Skyscraper GB company of a businessman Babek Hasanov and co-owner of the jewelry network "Yashma-Zoloto" Igor Mavlyanov. It builds residential buildings in the districts of Prospect Vernadsky, Alekseevsky, Airport and Maryina Roshcha; the total amount of contracts exceeds 3.7 billion rubles. The company also has its own projects - the Novo-Nikolskoye residential area in New Moscow and the Solnechny residential complex in Ramenskoye. Almost a year ago, the construction of these complexes was suspended due to a conflict between Gasanov and Mavlyanov. After this happened, Skyscraper GB received new contracts from the city for the construction of houses for former residents of five-story buildings.

The largest project for migrants under the renovation program will be a 48-storey building in Mukomolny proezd near Moscow City. It is designed and built by the Investprofi company, owned by the owners of the Capital Group development company Pavel Te and Eduard Berman, for almost 8.9 billion rubles. In recent years, Pavel Te's companies have been favored by the Moscow authorities: they received 18.1 billion rubles for landscaping work within the framework of the My Street project, and the mayor's office spent about 14 billion more on the purchase of premises for the mayor's office departments in the Oko skyscraper, built by capital group.

Among the builders there are companies about which nothing is known at all. So, four houses for a total amount of more than 2.7 billion rubles will be built by the Construction Technologies company, which previously was engaged in cosmetic repairs of the UGS office. Neither the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, nor the company's contracts with the Moscow government indicate its telephone numbers. The sole owner and general director of Construction Technologies is Andrey Kozlov, a resident of Mordovia, who previously owned the private security company Berkut. Berkut was registered on the territory of an oil depot in the Mordovian regional center of Kovylkino.

Damir Gazizov
The state-owned enterprise "Department of Civil Construction" (KP "UGS") (the capital's largest customer - the developer of housing and social facilities) has a new boss - Damir Gazizov. He was appointed on November 18, 2014, and he is still in the status of acting. Eight years ago, Gazizov, head of the Kazan Department of Civil Engineering, was suspected of abuse of power in a tender for the construction of a central stadium in the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan (RT). The prosecutor's office of the Republic of Tatarstan opened a criminal case against him. As it became known to Ko, this case has been investigated again by the Investigative Committee of the ICR in the Republic of Tatarstan since December 5 last year.

Since the appointment of Marat Khusnullin in 2010 as Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Policy and Construction, all key positions in the Moscow construction complex have been occupied by people from Tatarstan.

Andrey Belyuchenko, Gazizov's predecessor, who headed UGS for three years, left his post. The state-owned enterprise refused to explain the reason for the dismissal of Belyuchenko. Khusnullin thanked Belyuchenko for his work with a diploma. Over the three years of operation, UGS has built 1.58 million square meters. m, or 131 houses, 50 kindergartens, 6 schools, 4 blocks of primary classes for 12,635 places, the Sambo sports palace, the MIPT technopark. In 2015–2016 100 more houses will be built. Belyuchenko himself on November 19, immediately after his dismissal, on his Facebook page posted a video with a report on the work, demonstrating how the Civil Engineering Department, to the iron rhythm of Georgy Sviridov’s music “Time Forward!”, Which was preceded by the news program “Vremya” in the late The USSR is building Moscow. Builders with the label UGS appear even in the footage of the Soviet chronicle.

Meanwhile, UGS is becoming an increasingly interesting place to work. In 2013–2015 UGS will receive 121 billion rubles. budget money for housing construction, 19.84 billion rubles. for the construction of 82 kindergartens and 19.7 billion rubles. - for 60 schools, according to the Targeted Investment Program of the Moscow Government. 100 billion rubles housing has already been received. The UGS distributes these funds among construction companies in accordance with the law “On the Procurement of Goods, Works, Services by Certain Types of Legal Entities” by holding tenders. The plans for construction in the "new Moscow" and work on the design of 1.5 million square meters. m of housing, 54 schools, 32 kindergartens and other facilities.

Who is Damir Gazizov?

52-year-old Damir Gazizov is an honored builder of the Republic of Tatarstan. He graduated from the Kazan Civil Engineering Institute with a degree in civil engineering, a candidate of economic sciences. Since 1999, Gazizov worked in the Kazan mayor's office: in 2001-2005. - Head of the Reconstruction Department of the Administration of Kazan; from 2005 to April 2006 - head of the capital construction and reconstruction department of the administration of Kazan. In February 2006, as the Kommersant newspaper reported, the Tatarstan prosecutor's office opened a criminal case against Damir Gazizov, head of the capital construction and reconstruction department of the executive committee of Kazan. Gazizov, according to law enforcement officers, gave the contract for the reconstruction of the central stadium of the city to Kazan LLC Intekhstroy, which was led by his friend Pyotr Sotnikov, putting pressure on the members of the tender commission. At the same time, during the reconstruction, part of the budget funds allocated for it was stolen. The money, according to the prosecutor's office, was stolen in the following way: Intekhstroy LLC bought an elevator from the Moscow representative office of KONE. The real cost of the elevator, together with delivery, installation and configuration, could be, according to investigators, 1.5 million rubles. However, Intekhstroy LLC indicated in the documents the amount of 2 million rubles. and received the money in their accounts. A criminal case was initiated against Mr. Sotnikov under Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Fraud”). Damir Gazizov faced up to four years in prison, and Petr Sotnikov - up to six years. Almost immediately after the initiation of the criminal case, in April 2006, Gazizov was fired. Kazan LLC Intekhstroy, where Petr Sotnikov was the head, is not in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. The construction company LLC Intekhstroy-R, where Sotnikov owned 50%, was liquidated in 2013, according to the Kontur-Focus service.

Gazizov pleaded not guilty. Supervisory authorities - the control and audit commission of the Ministry of Finance, the Accounts Chamber and the tax authorities - checked the construction for misuse of budget funds and did not find any violations. The contract for the general contract with Intekhstroy LLC was extended by the directorate of targeted regional programs under the administration of Kazan. The prosecutor's office of Tatarstan, in response to Co's question about the Gazizov case, replied that the case against Gazizov and Sotnikov was closed in 2006 "due to the failure to identify the person subject to criminal liability."

The prosecution failed to collect evidence of Damir Gazizov's guilt.

But in December 2014, the case was sent for a new investigation by the Investigative Committee of the ICR in the Republic of Tatarstan. The prosecutor's office does not report the results of the investigation.

All the time while Gazizov worked in the structures of the Kazan City Hall, Marat Khusnullin worked as the Minister of Construction, Architecture and Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan (from May 2001 to November 2010).

In 2013, Gazizov worked in Moscow LLC GSS Engineering Group, which is developing a project for an indoor ice rink in microdistrict No. 26 of Kazan, commissioned by the Moscow Municipal Institution "Department of Capital Construction and Reconstruction of the Executive Committee of the Municipal Formation of the City of Kazan." The design cost is 4.5 million rubles, the deadline is December 2016. That is, Damir Gazizov led a company that received a state order from the department that he himself once headed. This is probably a coincidence. The phone number of GSS Engineering Group was unavailable.

Earlier, at the invitation of Marat Khusnullin, 15 people from Tatarstan came to work in the Moscow government. Among them are Konstantin Timofeev, head of Mosinvestkontrol (before that, he headed the Moscow bank Ak Bars; Khusnullin began his career in Ak Bars structures); Rafik Zagrutdinov, First Deputy Head of the Moscow Department of Construction (he worked at the Mortgage Agency of the Republic of Tatarstan, like Marat Khusnullin); Sergey Levkin, Head of the Department of Urban Planning Policy of the Government of Moscow (he was the General Director of OAO Special Economic Zones in 2007–2010 and oversaw the Alabuga SEZ in Tatarstan); Vladimir Shvetsov, Deputy Head of the Department for Construction of the Metro and Transport Infrastructure (from 2001 to 2007 he worked in the government of the Republic of Tatarstan as the Minister of Transport and Roads). Lenar Gubaidullin (former general director of Tatstroy, the largest construction company in Kazan) is now the general director of State Unitary Enterprise Mosekostroy. This is the State Unitary Enterprise - the customer of the city of Moscow for the reclamation of landfills for the disposal of MSW (solid domestic waste) in the Moscow region. Ernest Mavlyutov, the former chief architect of Kazan, works as deputy chairman of the Moscow Committee for Architecture. In 2011–2013 He was the director of the State Unitary Enterprise "NIiPI General Plan of Moscow". Mosinzhproekt, which received a contract for 556 billion rubles. from Moscow, headed by Konstantin Matveev. He was the general director of Neftegazengineering LLC, the company that built the Taneko oil refinery in Nizhnekamsk.

“You can call it in different ways: clannishness, fellowship or nepotism, but this is how the bureaucratic system works in our country,” notes Rais Suleimanov, an expert at the National Strategy Institute. - Damira Gazizova in this regard should be considered as a person of Marat Khusnullin: in the past they were connected by a common field of activity - construction. One led this while sitting as a minister in Tatarstan, the other had a smaller scale - only Kazan. And the fact that in their past in Kazan there were, let’s say, dark spots, well, it’s okay: they are even more proven by previous work experience.”

UGS - bread place

The history of the creation of the UGS is interesting. In August 2011, Andrey Belyuchenko, a shareholder of the large development company Vedis Group (he had 10%), left the business to work in the city government and headed the state-owned enterprise Moscow Center for Children and Family Recreation (MTsDSO). It is the largest city customer for kindergartens and other social facilities. Prior to Vedis Group, Belyuchenko worked as a development director at Horus Capital, a company created by Senator Sergei Gordeev, a notorious M&A player. In the crisis years of 2008–2009 GC "Vedis" broke into the market leaders by building 1.5 million square meters. m of economy class housing (LCD in Marfino, Golovino, Michurino, etc.). According to the sources of "Ko", such a rapid growth happened due to the fact that Belyuchenko could quickly coordinate project documentation in the Moscow government.

Belyuchenko had his own design company - Terra Auri CJSC. In 2010, "Terra Auri" won the competition for the design of 13 kindergartens (KEI) in Moscow out of 24 in densely built microdistricts. In two projects, DOU "Terra" was also a technical customer. The construction of these 13 preschool educational institutions cost the Moscow budget about 3 billion rubles. Terra earned up to 5% of this amount plus 1% on the technical order; only about 150 million rubles. In March 2011, Terra Auri received the honorary title of "Supplier of Goods and Services for the Needs of the Government of Moscow" for designing 13 preschool educational institutions in Moscow in record time. In addition, the new projects of Terra's kindergartens - modular "Rostok" and "Semitsvetik" (for microdistricts with dense buildings in built-in and attached premises) - were selected by the United Russia party from one hundred regional projects and recommended for mass construction. With such excellent recommendations, Terre is practically guaranteed a city order, and Belyuchenko has opened the way to the chair of a major city customer.

Some time after Belyuchenko took over as the head of the WDCSO, in the fall of 2011 he sold his company Terra Auri to Denis Borodako, financial director of the Vedis Group of Companies. In the fall of 2012, the WDCSO was renamed the Office of Civil Engineering (UGS), its functions have expanded significantly, and its budget has grown. The new state-owned enterprise of the Moscow government is building not only social facilities, but also housing at the expense of the budget.

Until 2013, state orders from CJSC Terra Auri were relatively small - for technical orders and design, and these services cost tens of millions of rubles. But in 2013, Terra began to receive government orders not only for design, but also for construction. The revenue of Terra Auri CJSC in 2013 reached 5.6 billion rubles. Growth in comparison with 2012 - 1576%. The volume of state orders of CJSC "Terra Auri" to date is 3 billion rubles, of which 2.9 billion rubles. received in the last 12 months. However, the share of "Terra" in the state order from the Department of Civil Engineering is less than 10% (the total volume of orders placed by this state-owned enterprise is now 46.9 billion rubles). It has more than doubled compared to last year.

Denis Borodako himself told Co. that his main clients are not government, but commercial structures. Today, his company is going to design a 200,000 sq. m for Oleg Deripaska's Glavmosstroy in the Moscow region, plus another project in old Moscow (its parameters were not disclosed).

Andrei Belyuchenko left the head of the UGS with a diploma, and Damir Gazizov was accepted there, despite the unpleasant stories in his life. It is clear: the UGS budget is large, and the head of the Moscow construction complex, Marat Khusnullin, wants to control its distribution through his people.

"Stroyotryad" Khusnullin. How managers from Tatarstan took Moscow

Key positions in the construction complex of Moscow were occupied by close associates of the vice-mayor of the capital, Marat Khusnullin, who moved after him from Tatarstan. Life conducted his own investigation and found out how the "vice mayor's team" is mastering the budget allocated for renovation.

Under the new program for the demolition of five-story buildings in Moscow, about eight thousand residential buildings may fall. The resettlement of the tenants of the demolished Khrushchev houses - this is about 1.6 million people - according to preliminary estimates alone, will cost 3.5 trillion rubles.

Marat Kabaev told Forbes about connections with Khusnullin, business and relationship with his daughter

The father of Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva heads the International Islamic Business Association, but does not conduct business himself

To get into the office International Association Islamic business in the metro area "Leninsky Prospekt", you need to go down the stairs to the basement of the residential high-rise building. It's almost noon, but the office is not crowded. The head of the association does not have a reception and a secretary.

The father of Alina Kabaeva was named the patron of Moscow renovators

As Rain found out, the vice-mayor of Moscow, the head of the construction complex of the capital, Marat Khusnullin, owes his career in the capital to the founder of the Association of Muslim Entrepreneurs of Russia, Marat Kabaev, the father of ex-deputy Alina Kabaeva, who heads the National Media Group. Khusnullin and Kabaev were connected by joint work in the construction market in Kazan, and now it is people from Tatarstan who will be the main actors renovation programs in Moscow.

Good Year for the Khrunichev Center

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin behaves in relation to the Khrunichev State Space Research and Production Center (GKNPTs) like a classic raider. First, the leading enterprise of the country's rocket and space complex is brought to bankruptcy, then its areas are vacated for construction. After the Proton accident in July last year, the center's debts became unsustainable for the enterprise. The idea was voiced to pay off part of the debts by selling the territory of the complex. Dmitry Rogozin visited the enterprise together with the co-owner of the Kyiv Ploshchad company, God Nisanov, which experts regarded as a presentation of a promising Moscow territory for a potential buyer. Later, the official moved to the former VIP apartment of Levi Isaev, the general director of companies owned by Nisanov.

Demolition and hatred in Golovino: how the Moscow authorities deceived the renovation participants

Renovation. Last year, this topic was one of the hottest in Moscow, and then interest subsided somewhat. But it seems that the topic is again becoming relevant. In the Golovinsky district, they began to build the first renovation houses, and from the very beginning of construction, everything that happens is at odds with the guarantees of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. Instead of 17-storey buildings, 25-storey ones will be built. However, there have been no public hearings yet. And the competition, which should determine how the renovation zones will look, has not even been formally completed. About the new renovation scandal - the material of Ksenia Nazarova.

Tatar officials, military managers, Chechen businessmen Who make money on the construction of houses for residents of five-story buildings. Ivan Golunov investigation

As Meduza has already reported, the Moscow authorities have been preparing for a new program to demolish residential buildings and relocate their residents for the past few years. In particular, new buildings for future settlers began to be erected even before the vote on the renovation program took place - the city budget has already spent more than 70 billion rubles on their design and construction. Meduza special correspondent Ivan Golunov carefully studied those who received this money and found among them numerous acquaintances and former partners of Moscow Vice Mayor Marat Khusnullin, as well as other interesting people.

Damir Gazizov about the Zaryadye park, the experimental house and plans to commission housing and social facilities

The state-owned enterprise "Civil Construction Administration" is part of the Complex of Urban Planning Policy of Moscow and is responsible for the implementation of the capital's investment program for the construction of housing and social, cultural and household facilities. This year alone, the organization built 50 residential buildings. In total, since 2012, UGS has 134 residential buildings, 55 kindergartens and 11 schools. We talked about the activities of the enterprise with its General Director, Honored Builder Damir Gazizov, who was appointed to this position in November 2015.

Damir Kutdusovich, please tell us about yourself, about your work in Kazan, moving to Moscow?
- I graduated from the Kazan Civil Engineering Institute, before that I studied at a technical school. He started working as a bricklayer, reached the 5th category, then as a foreman, superintendent, head of the construction site. After that, I became Deputy General Director for Capital Construction of OJSC Kazan Fat Plant, then I was invited to work in the Kazan City Hall, where I took the post of Assistant to the Head of the City Administration for Construction. Later he headed the Joint Department for Construction and Reconstruction of Kazan. My tasks included the construction and reconstruction of facilities for the celebration of the millennium of Kazan and in preparation for the Universiade. Later, the leadership of the capital's construction complex, represented by Marat Khusnullin, knowing my work in Kazan, found it possible to invite me to Moscow. I joined the staff of KP "UGS" in November 2014 as Acting General Director.

Was it hard to start in a new place?
– For me, working in Moscow is, first of all, responsibility for the implementation of significant projects. The entire staff of KP "UGS" is working on this task. We prepare the terms of reference for the design, taking into account the features land plots and the needs of the city, we carry out the construction of facilities, we connect to communications - heat, electricity, low-voltage networks - the constructed facilities, we put them into operation. Our team is very cohesive, a single team of professionals. Employees are set to work with full dedication.

The Office was established in 2011 and next year our team is 5 years old. From 2012 to the present, we have built 134 residential buildings covering 1.645 million square meters. meters. For 11 months of 2015, 29 residential buildings were built on 364 thousand square meters. meters. By the end of the year, it is planned to commission 21 residential buildings for 228 thousand square meters. In addition, 66 educational facilities for 14,155 places were built and put into operation. Of these, 55 kindergartens for 9350 places and 11 schools and blocks of primary classes for 4800 students. In 2015 alone, we commissioned 18 facilities, it is still planned to commission 3 BNK, 4 preschool educational institutions and two schools. The kindergarten on Svobody Street was recognized as the best implemented social facility this year.

But it's not your company's only award-winning property. What other houses, gardens, schools could you single out?
– With the use of nanomaterials, we built an experimental house on Nizhegorodskaya street. An example of such a material is a composite plastic mesh. It is environmentally friendly, does not rust, is four times stronger and more durable than metal. The shelf life of such a grid is more than 100 years (for comparison: the metal serves 30–40 years). Also in this house we used plumbing and sewer pipes and a plastic heating system. Cross-linked polyethylene was used in the creation of heating systems. Such pipes are not subject to corrosion, they do not need to be painted. In houses with steel pipes, it is necessary to carry out after 20-30 years overhaul, change all communications.

We also used energy-efficient self-cleaning double-glazed windows on the windows. They reduce heat transfer by more than 30% and can reduce the cost of heating and air conditioning by almost half. When finishing work, paint with elements of silver was used - this is an environmentally friendly material. For the first time, these technologies were used in the construction of municipal housing. The use of new materials allows savings in the operation of the building.

May of this year was marked by the commissioning of a landmark facility - the MIPT Technopark. It is part of a large research complex "Phystech XXI". The opening ceremony was attended by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. In September, a new sports and recreation building of the Moscow experimental school was commissioned on Khersonskaya Street. This is a detached four-story building. A feature of the construction of an Olympic-level facility is cramped conditions, the task was to preserve the Chinese Garden with relic trees. Therefore, external engineering networks and communications - heat, sewerage - were carried out in a closed way, without replanting trees, without damaging the roots and the general ensemble of small architectural forms of the garden.

As far as I know, the approach to the construction of social facilities has changed. For example, transforming kindergartens are being built.
– Indeed, the Targeted Investment Program for 2015–2018 provides for the construction of facilities with the possibility of transformation. One of the first objects, during the construction of which an integrated approach was applied, was the educational complex in Zelenograd. The peculiarity is that kindergarten, BNK and the school are connected by transitions. There is a separate BNK project, combined with a preschool department.

Can you already see the first panel houses of the new series?
- We are building such houses in the village of Severny and Beskudnikovo. New series are being built by LSR, MFS-PIK, DSK-1, GUSS-stroy, etc. For example, the DOMRIK and DOMINAD series from DSK-1. All balconies and loggias in such buildings are glazed in the same style so as not to spoil the architectural appearance of the city. There are special places for the installation of air conditioners.

At present, sites for construction have been identified, now we are entering tenders, where a contractor for the construction of large-panel houses of new series will be determined. In the first half of 2016, it is planned to carry out project documentation, passing the state examination. In the second - access to the construction site. Panel houses are being built quickly, we hope that by the end of 2016 the first buildings will be commissioned.

Share your plans for the commissioning of housing and social facilities.
– In 2016, we were given the task of building 49 residential buildings on AIP with total area 626 thousand "squares" and 27 educational facilities for 10,215 places. In 2017 - 63 residential buildings for 892 thousand square meters. meters and 22 educational facilities for 8.5 thousand places. In 2018, it is planned to build 33 residential buildings with an area of ​​almost 680 thousand square meters. meters and 14 educational facilities for 5525 places. One of the new tasks that the city has set for us is to build a combined school and BNC for 2,100 students. Now we are starting to prepare the terms of reference. It's average educational institution will be unique in everything - in design, in construction, in the placement of classes, gyms, canteens, etc.

There is another unique object in your portfolio - Zaryadye.
– Yes, the construction of a park with cultural and leisure facilities is currently underway. We plan to hand it over by the City Day in 2017. A philharmonic hall with interesting architecture and a glass roof-bark and an ice cave will be built in the park. Trees and shrubs that grow throughout Russia will be planted in Zaryadye.

Our conversation takes place before the New Year - what would you wish the builders of the capital?
– First of all, I would like to thank all the partners of the Civil Engineering Department for fruitful cooperation in the outgoing year and wish my colleagues undying optimism in the new year – when there is something to build, it is interesting to live, there is something to strive for. Let 2016 be filled with fruitful, beneficial work, support of like-minded people, mutual understanding and love of loved ones. I sincerely wish peace and harmony, health and well-being, good luck and a great New Year's mood!

The Syktyvkar city court is considering a case against the head of the center for patriotic and civic education in Syktyvkar state university Damira Gazizova. In November 2017, he hit an elderly woman on the road, who later died. Gazizov's defense insists that the process is proceeding with violations, since a member of the investigating authorities is a relative of the deceased. The defendant's lawyer Yevgeny Rogatsky casts doubt on the conclusions of the examinations conducted on the case.

What's happened

On November 1, 2017, Damir Gazizov, head of the Center for Patriotic and Civic Education of Syktyvkar State University, ran over his passenger car for a pensioner in the Orbita microdistrict. The woman subsequently died.

In March, a criminal case under Part 3 of Article 264 of the Criminal Code (“Violation of the rules of the road and the operation of vehicles, resulting in the death of a person by negligence”) was received by the Syktyvkar City Court. Under this article, Gazizov can receive either corrective labor for up to four years, or imprisonment for up to three years. The prosecutor demanded that Gazizov be sent to prison for three years.

Why did the prosecution choose the most severe punishment and did not motivate it in any way? The prosecution did not take into account the person's age. For 40 years of legal experience, for the first time I saw the defendant have a separate volume, consisting of thanks and various characteristics, - said Yevgeny Rogatsky, Gazizov's lawyer.

What is known about the circumstances of the accident

The pedestrian was hit at about 4:00 pm. As indicated in the case file and as the witness of the incident said, the deceased was crossing the road outside the pedestrian crossing. After the impact, she flew over the car and fell to the pavement. An ambulance arrived seven minutes later, but the woman could not be saved.

How was the last session

The consideration of the case was completed, the debate was held, the accused said the last word. At the previous meeting, the judge was supposed to announce the decision, but he did not. The presiding judge referred to the fact that Gazizov's lawyer Yevgeny Rogatsky did not come to the meeting. That day he was admitted to the hospital. Based on this fact, the judge appointed Gazizov a public defender.

On June 27, both the public defender and Rogatsky joined the process. The assigned lawyer asked to postpone the case for a few days in order to agree on a position. The judge gave it one hour. After that, the prosecution petitioned for the interrogation of four witnesses: three ambulance officers who came to the victim, and an eyewitness to the accident. Gazizov's defenders opposed. According to them, the prosecution could have done this in the previous six months, but did not take advantage of this opportunity. The judge granted the prosecutor's request. The consideration of the case continued.

Two ambulance workers described how they tried to help the injured woman. An eyewitness said that the hit woman crossed the road in the wrong place.

Gazizov's defenders stressed that the basis for the resumption of the process was the new information that the witnesses were supposed to provide. In fact, neither the court nor the parties to the process after the interrogation learned anything new, which lawyer Rogatsky noticed.

Why Gazizov's defense doubts a fair trial

The son-in-law of the victim works in the investigative department of the regional Investigative Committee. Lawyer Rogatsky at the beginning of the session on June 27 noted that the judge had previously also worked in the investigating authorities. He saw this as a conflict of interest and challenged the judge. The presiding judge did not withdraw himself.

During the consideration of the case, two examinations were carried out, the purpose of which was to find out whether Gazizov was at fault in the accident or not. According to Rogatsky, both were held with violations. So, the investigative experiment took place not at the scene of the incident or on a similar road, but in the corridor of the police department. The judge refused to conduct another examination at the request of the defense of the accused.

This suggests that the accusation is being "stretched". A person is artificially made guilty,” said Rogatsky.

Students and graduates of SyktSU collected 411 signatures in support of Damir Gazizov, which were handed over to the court.
