Working in Rostec, the former head of the Ministry of Defense earns “on the side”?
The niece of the former Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukova Julia Bagieva became the general director of the St. Petersburg woodworking company Les, in the authorized capital of which its share is 40%(60%are owned by Alexander Dergun). Julia Bagieva owns assets in a variety of business areas. In particular, it is a co-owner of the Million Revenue of the Soyuz industrial group, whose “subsidiary” of the Kaluga multidisciplinary wood-processing plant (KMDK) “Soyuz-Center” earns tens of millions in state contracts. A profit of hundreds of millions declares the production of carpentry products LLC Soyuzbaltomplekt. Until recently, Bagieva’s business partners were Alexander Chemezov and Dmitry Artyakov, the sons, respectively, the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov and his first deputy, former Samara governor Vladimir Artyakov. The sons of the Rostokhov top managers acted as co-owners of the ZUU Management and UK ZUU companies, but left among the founders of both at the beginning of this year. Another company of Julia Bagaeva, the unprofitable LLC Kapilinvest, previously belonged to Julia Zubkova, the daughter of the former federal deputy prime minister Viktor Zubkov, his wife Anatoly Serdyukova. The ex-Minister himself at one time transferred the ownership of the investment project, where Valery Puzikov was noted as the founder, the husband of Sister Serdyukov, who received from journalists the nickname “Army oligarch” and became a defendant in a criminal case about the embezzlement of 13 million rubles. Despite the employment at Rostec, where he holds the position of an industrial director of the aviation complex, Serdyukov continues to engage in business: Soyuzinvest company and a share in the company “Ordynka 40” are issued to him, which, together with the “subsidiary” of LLC “Prima” bring the ex-minister and his business partners an income of hundreds of millions of rubles.
“Woodworking” by Julia Bagieva
Commercial activity Julia Bagievaniece of ex-minister of defense Anatoly Serdyukovrepeatedly found herself in the focus of the media. As a rule, the publications were about contracts that the family structures receive from budgetary institutions and organizations. However, this never interfered with a relative of the official to expand the borders of the business.
No further, as at the end of March, Julia Bagieva became the general director of St. Petersburg OOO“Forest”created in October last year and specializing in the “sawing and strict wood”. The share in the company is distributed between Bagaeva (40%) and her business partner Alexander Dergun(60%), which has the only business active.
Earlier, the enterprise with a similar type of activity was already registered with Mrs. Bagiev-again Petersburg LLC “Technophinance”which was engaged in the production of lumber and liquidated in November 2020 due to the presence of false information in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. However, the Technocorefance did not bring special income to its owner: according to the latest financial indicators available in open sources, in 2019, in the absence of revenue, the company left “Minus” on 16 thousand rubles.
But this, as they say, is the case of the past. Today, Julia Bagieva belong – entirely or in shares – seven commercial companies. Of them it is worth focusing on LLC “Industrial Group” Soyuz “in the authorized capital of which the business woman controls 45%, and another 65%are owned Mikhail Gavrilova. According to the results of 2024, the Soyuz PG declared revenue in 3 billionand net profit in 239.3 million (revenue a year earlier – 2.4 billionprofit – 75.1 million rubles).
The Soyuz PG has two “subsidiaries” structures. The first – LLC “Kaluga multidisciplinary wood processing plant” Soyuz-Center ” (previously – LLC “PLITSPICHPROM”), with a portfolio of state contracts exceeding 54 million rubles. Revenue of KMDK in 2024 3.3 billionprofit – almost 230 million. However, in 2023 when revenue in 3.2 billion The plant reported on losses in 25.8 million rubles.
The second “daughter” – LLC “Soyuzbaltomplekt”engaged in the production of wooden building structures and carpentry. This enterprise does not receive budget contracts, however, according to the results of last year, it declared the revenue in 2.7 billion rubles and profit in the amount 192.6 million (revenue a year earlier – 2.5 billionprofit – 188.3 million rubles). Soyuzbaltomplekt, in turn, acts as the only founder Trading House “Soyuz-Samara”who cannot boast of such indicators: his profit in 2024 was 84.1 million rublesloss – 2.1 million.
“Investment project”, Valery Puzikov and “The Case of Eths”
How financially successful it turns out to be LLC LLC “LLC” does not take it: it can go “minus” and be eliminated as “technology -financial”, or can “hook” on the “needle” of budget contracts. Given the connections, including related, its owners, the second option seems more promising.
Returning to the topic of the assets of Julia Bagieva, let us dwell on more details on the provision of financial services LLC “Investproekt”in which she acts as the only founder. This company has declared the lack of revenue and colossal profits for years, which amounted to in 2024 2.7 billion rublesin 2023- 2.1 billionin 2022- 370.8 million etc. There were unprofitable periods, but, as a rule, the company works “in a plus”.
By the way, from June 2017 to February 2023, the owner of Investproekt was Anatoly Serdyukovthen he was replaced by his niece in that capacity. The founder of the company until February 2016 was Valery Puzikov -Another family member, or rather, the husband of the younger sister of the ex-minister Galina, who at one time received from journalists the nickname “Army oligarch”.
In 2007-2010 Puzikov was led by the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “St. Petersburg Engineering and Technical Center of the Federal Tax Service” (ITC), in 2011, the retrained military department and renamed the St. Petersburg Engineering and Technical Center for the Ministry of Defense. And in 2012, Puzikov and several of his subordinates became defendants in the criminal case of particularly large fraud and embezzlement.
It was theft of order 13 million rubles Within the framework of the long -term contract for servicing the Ministry of Defense by vehicles, by overestimation of its value and partial performance. However, in 2015, the media reported that Valery Puzikov’s cessation of criminal prosecution in connection with the expiration of the statute of limitations. Two other defendants – another former general director of the ITC Valeria Sedovaand chief accountant Irina Petukhova -Amnestied in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
Unprofitable business “children” Rostec
The remaining companies of Yulia Bagieva, unlike the above, cannot boast of equally tangible financial indicators. Engaging in food and drink trading LLC “Juven” Located in the process of liquidation. Specializing in restaurant activities of Moscow ZUU Management LLC In 2023, with revenue almost in 106 millionIt went “minus” on 11.6 million rubles (revenue in 2022-almost 120 millionprofit – 5.3 million rubles).
Especially interesting is the composition of the former co -owners of the ZUU Management – business partners of Mrs. Bagieva. For example, until the end of last January, the share in the company belonged Alexander Chemezov – Son Sergey Chemezovinfluential chapter “Rostec”where, according to the latest data, Anatoly Serdyukov also works. Here we meet Dmitry Artyakov– son of the former Samara governor Vladimir Artyakovshortly after the resignation of the post of first deputy general director at Rostec.
Children of Chemezov and Artyakov were also noted among the founders of another Bagieva asset – LLC “UK ZUU”who, until the end of February, led Chemezov Jr.. A company specializing in the lease and management of property, according to the results of last year, reported on the revenue in 14.5 million rubles and losses in size 5.6 million (revenue in 2023 – 13.2 millionlosses – 411 thousand rubles).
Well, the commercial union of relatives of Rostakhovsky VIP-Person turned out to be fragile. Another unprofitable company – OOO“Capital”also engaged in rental and real estate management. In 2024, with revenue in 11.4 million The company is gone “Minus” on 385 thousand rubles; a year earlier her revenue was 12.4 millionlosses – 3.7 million rubles.
Among the former owners of the “CapitalInvest” appears Julia Zubkova -The daughter of the former federal deputy prime minister Victor Zubkov And the wife of Anatoly Serdyukov. It was she who at one time transferred the company to Julia Bagaeva, so to speak, “from hand to hand.”
What is the ex-Minister Serdyukov on
Let’s say a few words about the former Minister of Defense. As mentioned above, after the resignation, Anatoly Serdyukov settled “under the wing” of Mr. Chemezov. At the beginning of 2023, reports appeared on the network about the departure of ex-minister on permanent residence abroad, which were hastened to refute in the state corporations, emphasizing that he still holds the position of industrial director of the Rostec aviation complex.
If you consider this post by a civil service, then a number of questions may arise for Mr. Serdyukov. In particular, in connection with his occupation by commerce. So, in July 2021, he became the only owner of a specializing in the lease and management of property of the capital Sozuzinvest LLC (Earlier, among the founders, Julia Bagieva and Julia Zubkova were noted). The financial statements of the enterprise are impressive: revenue in 2024 – 208.9 million rublesprofit – 86.7 million (In 2023, revenue- 194.6 millionprofit – 81 million).
Economic success is largely explained by the solid portfolio of state contracts exceeding 827 million rubles. The main customers of the company’s services are the Federal Tax Service of Russia in Moscow and the MIFNS No. 1 in the Voronezh region. Until the end of March, Sozuzinvest belonged to a share in the unprofitable construction OOOSoyuzstroyServiceChanging K. Andrei Zhukovwhich has become the only founder of the company.
Several commercial structures are registered on Andrei Zhukov, including the company specializing in real estate transactions “Alliance”in the trust management of which is the share of Serdyukov in Soyzinvest. And Zhukov and Serdyukov are business partners in securities occupied by investments LLC “Ordynka 40”where they belong, respectively, 20% and 30%. The remaining shares are distributed between Oksana Savelyeva (49%) and St. Petersburg LLC “Baltstar” (1%), controlled by the same Oksana And Alexander Savelyev.
In 2024 with meager revenue in 13 thousand rubles“Horde 40” reported on profit in 146.7 million; Revenue in 2023- 1 thousand rublesprofit – 128.2 million. The “subsidiary” of the company – LLC “Samas” It earns on rent and management of property, and earns well: last year’s revenue – 255.6 million rublesprofit – 148.3 million (in 2023 revenue – 251.4 millionprofit – 135.5 million rubles).
Well, a great increase in the salary received by Serdyukov in Rostec! True, there is no information on the network about the confidential manager of its share in Ordynka 40. Is it legal to engage in private business in parallel with the leadership in the state corporation? Perhaps, in the profitable business of Julia Bagaeva, he is just a denomination of the former head of the Ministry of Defense?
