Who will get “State farm named after Lenin”

Источник: The DairyNews
State farm named after Lenin near Moscow has been making headlines for some time, but not always in the context of the results achieved in terms of harvest or milk yield. Now the discussion of who can take over the management of the farm instead of the permanent Director Pavel Grudinin has become very popular. The staff of the state farm are confident that what is happening to the enterprise is nothing more than a raider seizure. Who can benefit from this – read in the material of The DairyNews.

It never happened, and here it is again

Raider seizure, as they say at the enterprise, began for a very prosaic reason – to some construction companies that have serious contacts in the official environment, the land on which the "State farm named after Lenin" is located, seemed very attractive. These companies are known – as stated in the agricultural enterprise, they are GC "Rota" and GC "Samolet". The main activity of both firms, according to SPARK, is consulting on commercial activities and management. At the same time, they are actively building in Leninsky district of Moscow region – through the joint ownership of LLC “Mega City”, which is engaged in the sale and lease of land plots. The shares between the companies are divided in a ratio of 34% (GC “Rota”) and 66% (GC “Samolet”).

It is not worth assuming that some development companies have decided to start a fight with the existing for many years and strong agricultural enterprise. Dmitry Sablin, a member of the State Duma, is the beneficiary of GC “Rota”. On January 29, he was appointed Trustee of the company. And he is also a beneficiary of the company "Rota-Agro", which calls itself one of the leaders of the agricultural sector in Moscow region. The main directions are dairy and meat farming, sheep farming, crop production, vegetable growing, sturgeon fish breeding and cheese production. By the way, “Rota-Agro” has owned the largest stake in the State farm named after Lenin since December – 42%. 

Brief background

Attacks on Pavel Grudinin and the State farm named after Lenin began quite a long time ago. As a rule, this was expressed in small protest actions before regional election campaigns, as well as statements to the court – many citizens were not satisfied that the state farm was transferred to the form of a joint-stock company, which, in their opinion, was illegal. Shareholders went to single pickets with signs "Grudinin robbed us".

During the presidential race in 2018, in which Pavel Grudinin was one of the candidates, the case for the liquidation of the state farm was rejected. But a year later, the Vidnovsky court of Moscow region resumed the proceedings.

However, a much more curious situation occurred with the "deceived" shareholders. The DairyNews wrote about this situation earlier – as a result, 1 billion was recovered from Pavel Grudinin, who had to partially satisfy the initial claim for 2.1 billion.

Pavel Grudinin has repeatedly stated himself that all this evidence directly or indirectly indicates the desire of certain people to take away the right to manage "State farm named after Lenin" from him. And, according to readovka.ru in early February, they managed to do this – the largest stake in the company passed into the possession of the former wife of the former presidential candidate – Irina Grudinina.

To whom?

To officials. As we have already reported, in mid – December, the main stake - 42% - passed to the agricultural holding “Rota-Agro” through Pavel Grudinin's former wife. This is reported on the website of the company:

"I.I. Grudinina entered the agricultural holding "ROTA-AGRO" with the shares of JSC "State farm named after Lenin" (41.91 %) by adding them to the authorized capital of the agricultural enterprise. Thus, I.I. Grudinina became a member of LLC “ROTA-AGRO", says the website.

Thus, a clear picture of what is happening emerges through the convoluted chain of charges and lost courts.

Now Pavel Grudinin stubbornly refuses to comment on this situation, explaining it as a difficult political situation around the state farm. The DairyNews spoke to him in December last year, that's what the Manager's opinion was then:

"We know who is capturing us. These companies belong to United Russia, one to Andrey Vorobyov and the other to Dmitry Sablin. We are trying to fight, but when the corrupt authorities, the judicial system, and officials of the presidential administration are on the other side, it is more difficult to fight. We fought back five times, this attack is the sixth. And it is the most difficult, because they went inside, taking advantage of the conflict with my ex-wife, and then fabricated the case", - said Pavel Grudinin. 

It is also easy to determine which path will lead to the Governor of Moscow region, Andrey Vorobyov. Back in 2018, the Governor was accused of having links with a company called “Samolet Development”, a major developer near Moscow – Andrey Vorobyov's brother, Maxim, is related to it. Vorobyov himself denied this connection in an interview with “The Kommersant”, saying that his brother owns a completely different company, the Petersburg one - "Samolet. Two capitals».

If someone else doubts the affiliation, it can be confirmed by SPARK: "Samolet. Two capitals” is one of the many subsidiaries of GC “Samolet”.

We will monitor how events will develop further. But we can really agree with Pavel Nikolaevich on one thing: if the executive establishment take you in hand, there is almost no chance to survive.
