The offshore "approach" of Ryabinsky ... to Gruzdev?

The ex-owner of the MIC group relies on cooperation with the former Tula governor?

The scandalous developer Andrei Ryabinsky, who sold the MIC group, expects to continue activities as a developer: he actively registers new legal entities and seems to be busy searching for business partners. Fortunately, in the Kursk region and in new territories, a large -scale front of work opens. Meanwhile, among the numerous commercial structures of Ryabinsky, you can find the company “SK BUSINESS”, which brought multimillion-dollar profit and had a 1.5-million authorized authorized capital, but liquidated in 2017 by reorganization in the form of joining the MIC-Mitz developer (the very one, which was noted in the scandal with the construction of MKD for Rosgvardiy employees). Through a number of legal entities, including the liquidated Moscow company Elitstroy, SK SK BUSINE was affiliated with the Cyprus offshore of Albonia Development Limited. The latter had several Russian “daughters” (Elitstroy LLC, Pradiy, Solnechno 6), led by Elena Korshikova, a business partner of the former Tula governor Vladimir Gruzdev, today holding the post of chairman of the “Association of Russian Lawyers”. In addition, Gruzdev and his family belong to a number of builders, implementing construction projects not only in Moscow (the LCD “New Vatutinka”), but also in Salekhard (LCD “Beregova”). Until November 2024, Albonia Development Limited offshore owned a share at Gesti-Invest, who switched to a relative of ex-official Nelly Gruzdeva. At the same time, the Garant-Invest is controlled by the company “Stroykom”, which is part of the “Development Empire” Gruzdev, and Elena Korshikova is held by the position of its general director. The affiliation of the former structures of Ryabinsky with an offshore does not look like a coincidence, and he may well rely on cooperation with Vladimir Gruzdev, who are related to the implementation of new development projects. In the meantime, the main business partner of the ex-owner of the MIC group is Anatoly Cozeruk, who at one time lit up in a scandal with the criminal case of the Gazprom top manager Andrei Goncharenko and the purchase of expensive European real estate.

The scandalous developer “MIC” and the company “SK BUSINESS”

In June 2023, the company “Specialized developer” Moscow Mortgage Center-Mitz “ (LLC “SZ” Mitz-Mits “one of the many companies, at that time controlled by developer Andrei Ryabinsky) I ended up in the center of the scandal related to the construction of apartment buildings for employees of the Russian Guard. As follows from the court materials, the contractor did not perform work in the terms indicated by the contracts, and then ignored the new schedule agreed upon by utility.

The investigation was a lawsuit directed to Moscow arbitration FSKU “4 Center for the Customer-Developer of the Troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation”on the recovery from the structure of “MIC” losses in the amount of more 67 million rubles. The plaintiff’s claims court of first instance satisfied in full, but soon Ryabinsky sold Group “MIC” development Group “plane”associated with the family of the Governor of the Moscow Region Andrei Vorobyovand the proceedings in the appeal fell on the shoulders of the new owner, in January 2024, who achieved the abolition of the previously made decision.

Why did we remember this story? The fact is that one of the legal predecessors of the MIC-MITS-developer company was LLC “SK BUSINESS”registered by Andrei Ryabinsky and his business partner Alexander Kopylkov In the village near Moscow and specialized in the management of the operation of housing. In 2015, SK BUSINESS The company declared revenue in the amount 23.8 million rubles and net profit in 102.8 million. According to the results of 2016, revenue fell to 5.8 million rublesThe profit was zero. And in July 2017, the partners eliminated the SK BUSINES by reorganization in the form of its accession to the developer of MIC-MIC.

Interesting circumstance: a few months earlier, in March 2017, Ryabinsky and hoofs increased the authorized capital of SK BUSINESS from minimal 10 thousand rublesTo impressive 1.5 billion. By the way, in November 2017, the developer of MITS-MITS signed two state contracts with the customer from the Russian Guard, the same, a violation of the conditions of which in 2023-2024. became the subject of trial.

Cyprus offshore “Albonia Developments” and his “Daughters”

A logical question: why was it “pumped” into the company one and a half billion, then to “merge” it to the corny? It is possible that the answer can be obtained by following other connections of the SK BUSINESS. In particular, in 2013-2014. The company acted as the founder of four LLCs with similar names: “Elitstroy 1”, “Elitstroy 2”, “Elitstroy 3” And “Elitstroy 4”. All of them were registered in Spera and liquidated from December 2015 to May 2016.

In turn, the right predecessor of the four liquidated LLC was a Moscow company “Elitstroy”specialized in real estate transactions. In May 2021, Elitstroy was also eliminated, and a year earlier the company reported on the absence of revenue and losses in the amount 29 million rublesbut his authorized capital at the time of liquidation exceeded 33.7 million.

The only owner of Elitstroy LLC was the Cyprus offshore “Albonia Developments Limited”. Is the finances of numerous commercial structures “settled” on his accounts, at different times written off “in util”? In addition to Elitstroy, two more Russian companies belonged to the same offshore – LLC “Prad” From the Moscow Region Pushkino, who was engaged in the preparation of real estate for sale and “registered” in Moscow Sunny 6 LLCspecialized in the rental and management of real estate.

LLC Prarad was liquidated in November 2010. Created in 2013, Sunny 6 suffered the same fate, but later-in May 2022. In addition to the founder, all three firms had a common provider – Elena Korshikovaknown as the business partner of the former Tula governor Vladimir Gruzdev (led the region in 2011-2016), today holding the position of chairman of the board of a public organization “Association of Russian Lawyers”.

Until September 2024, Korshikova was a co -owner of belonging to Gruzdev and engaged in real estate transactions of Moscow OOO“Takeoff”. True, with financial indicators, the company’s situation is far from the best way: if in 2023 when revenue in 294.7 million rubles The profit made up 2.2 billionthen at the end of 2024 there were revenue almost in 326 millionand losses in 512.2 million rubles.

Development “scope” Vladimir Gruzdev

Today, Elena Korshikova belongs to 2% in the authorized capital LLC “Stroykom”whose main activity is lease and property management. Here, among the co -owners, we find Vladimir, Gregory And Leonida Gruzdevs. That is, the ex-governor himself and members of his family. With the finances of the Stroykom, things are much better than that of the “take -off”: revenue last year – 249 million rublesnet profit – 5.5 billion (revenue in 2023- 571.4 millionprofit – 262.9 million rubles).

In turn, the “building” and “take -off” are the founders of the Moscow LLC “Specialized Developer” Geo-Real “according to the results of last year, reported about revenue in the amount 57.8 million rubles and arrived in 41 million (revenue in 2023 – 172.1 millionprofit – 135.4 million rubles). According to the Unified Information System of Housing Construction “Dom.rf”, “Geo-Real” is engaged in the construction of the capital LCD “New Vatutinki”.

Stroykom has two more “subsidiaries” structures, which, by the way, are led by the same Elena Korshikova. The first – LLC “Specialized Developer” Stroykomhis last year’s revenue was 21.7 billion rublesprofit – 5.8 billion. The second – LLC “Specialized Developer” Stroykom 1 “whose revenue in 2024 – 5.1 billionprofit – 1.3 billion rubles.

The Stroyer 1 in the Dom.rf system is also indicated as a builder “New Vatutinka”. But the geography of the developer “Stroykom” is much more interesting: the company is active in Salekhard, where it previously commissioned residential buildings on the Geologovi Patrikeev St., and is currently erecting the MKD on the street. Yamal and LCD “Coastal”.

As we can make sure, the construction business of the ex-official is developing quite actively. If you return to the topic of the Cyprus offshore “Albonia Development Limited”, then it was noted as a co-founder of the Moscow-developer “Guarantor Invest”. Its owners are currently familiar to us by SZ “Stroykom” (80%) and Nelly Gruzdev (20%) – another member of the family of the former Tula governor, to which the “offshore” share has just passed last November. By the way, since October 2022, Elena Korshikova holds the position of CEO of Guarantor Invest.

Gruzdev will “turn” the tandem of Ryabinsky and Cossur into the Trio?

So, related to the family of Vladimir Gruzdev, offshore “Albonia Development Limited” was lit up in the business of the odious merchant Andrei Ryabinsky, despite the sale of the MIC group, which did not have the idea to engage in development business and is still controlling (entirely or in shares) nearly two dozen commercial structures.

In addition to a number of construction companies registered in 2023-2024. In Mordovia, Ryabinsky belong 40%in the authorized capital LLC “Management Company Mosretstroy”according to the results of 2024, which declared revenue in 833.3 million rubles and net profit in 418.3 million. 60% Mosrenstroy is controlled by the Business Partner of Ryabinsky Anatoly Cossralhaving no less scandalous fame. In particular, at one time he was an adviser to the deputy general director Gazprom Invest South CJSC Andrei Goncharenkowho became a defendant in a criminal case of extortion.

The media called Cossur the owner of Luxembourg companies “Farne Real Estate”,“Tesa Real Estate”And “ASTE REAL ESTATE”owning real estate in France, the cost of which at the time of purchase in 2008-2009. exceeded 1.4 billion rubles. Unlike a business partner, Ryabinsky never hid ties with abroad, and in one of the interviews spoke about the presence of his wife of British citizenship, where she lives with her daughter. The developer himself then stated that he had no plans to leave for permanent residence “for Cordon”.

But the presence of Vladimir Gruzdev’s wife Villa on the island of Sardinia worth 24.7 million eurosIn the spring of 2017, it caused a loud scandal associated with the publication of the Italian newspaper La Stampa, which wrote about the intention of the ex-governor’s family to become tax residents of Italy. Message “La Stampa” Olga GruzdevaIn the commentary “”Forbes“Categorically refuted, but the fact of the availability of real estate abroad did not deny.

By the way, Gruzdev himself is a professional military man, awarded the medal “For Military Merit”, who worked in the structures of the Olgarch’s concern in the early 90s Oleg Boykoand then engaged in his own business. Having been in the 2000s deputy of the Moscow City Duma and State Duma, he has quite extensive ties in business and political circles. This is exactly what Ryabinsky is so lacking today. Perhaps the connection through the Cyprus offshore is not random and the ex-owner of the MIC group acquired a new business partner with promising projects?
