SOCPROF intends to involve the prosecutor's office.

      As the leader of the local branch Igor Bondar reported, on May 26, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation refused to consider the complaint of the former co-owner of the now insolvent JSC "Trust "Yamalstroygazdobycha" (YSGD) Yuri Kintzler regarding his involvement in subsidiary liability in the case "on the obligations of the bankrupt." This effectively "finalized" the decisions of the courts of first, appellate, and cassation instances: respectively, on April 15, 2025, April 12, 2025, and February 12, 2026, obliging Yuri Eduardovich, who was previously on the Forbes list, to answer for bankruptcy obligations amounting to... three billion rubles. In this same process, the Supreme Court considered the complaints of two liquidators of the "Trust" — Kirov residents Vladimir Vinogorov and Evgeny Kladov, as well as former director Sergey Skritsky, recognizing the decision to recover 30 million rubles from each of them — or one percent of the total "subsidiary amount" — as justified and lawful. Interestingly, the last bankruptcy manager of the "Trust," Tatyana Svetlova, also appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that the degree of responsibility of all participants in the subsidiary obligations should be leveled, that is, to assign equal three-billion "claims" to all — similar to Kintzler. The court denied Svetlova's claim, interpreting her zeal as an attempt to reduce Yuri Eduardovich's degree of responsibility. As Igor Bondar noted, the "supreme judicial process" came to a logical conclusion not without the help of the Moscow City Prosecutor's Office, which voluntarily participated in the bankruptcy case of the "Trust "YSGD." Even on its own initiative, it held the bankruptcy manager of LLC "YSGD," also previously owned by Kintzler, administratively liable, while the Kirov department, demonstratively, in the opinion of SOCPROF, could disregard the position of the Attorney General Alexander Gutsan — "to constantly monitor the legality of the bankruptcy of enterprises, companies, and firms." As explained by the prosecutor's subordinate Alexander Vladimirovich, the departments should be "focused on excluding facts of the bankruptcy's property being disposed of through the commission of obviously fictitious transactions." This, it seemed, the Kirov department could not ignore a priori — especially concerning the "Trust," since at the beginning of the bankruptcy procedure, the value of the competitive mass of "YSGD" significantly exceeded three billion rubles. However, by the end of the second year of the bankruptcy proceedings, the payment of a 300-million salary debt became impossible. And SOCPROF, standing up for the workers, independently sought the movable and immovable property of the "Trust" that had been sold off cheaply. "How many times over the years have we wanted to say to the prosecutor's office: 'Guys, if you're not helping, at least... don't interfere,'" says the regional chairman of independent trade unions. The volumes of the "missing" are impossible to count. Let us remind you that in Kirov, the recovery of funds in favor of "YSGD" from a "group of individuals" involved in the "squandering" of the competitive mass of the once financially powerful bankrupt continues. Interestingly, the size of the "losses" of the "Trust" property has not yet been fully determined, and what has been established has been found exclusively by the efforts of SOCPROF. At the same time, the composition of the possible "group of individuals involved in committing illegal actions during bankruptcy": Elena Urvanceva — the first bankruptcy manager of the "Trust," her replacement Vladimir Pushkarev, and Urvanceva's civil partner — Viktor Pochuev, was established not by a law enforcement agency, but by a private determination of the Arbitration Court. Today, it is a matter of returning nearly three million rubles to the competitive mass, "lost in the expanses of Labytangi." At the same time, according to a collective statement from the workers of "YSGD" to the Kirov police, the market value of the "cheaply sold" warehouses and dormitory buildings — a total of seven objects — clearly exceeds 20 million rubles. However, the statement from the workers of the "Trust," submitted to the Investigative Committee regarding the established court "fact of document forgery, which are evidence of the sale of property of 'YSGD'," which Newsler.ru reported back in March of this year, is still "lying motionless." Unless, of course, one counts the act of the Investigative Committee transferring all materials to the police's Economic Security Department. But, by the way, it is not correct to assert that the documents are lying completely dead weight, as SOCPROF sometimes manages to persistently convince the investigation that the witnesses presented by the trade union organization should be questioned. Moreover, not choosing the softest expressions, to remind that applicants are supposed to be informed about the progress of the investigation. By the way, as Igor Viktorovich believes, it is precisely the absence of "requesting intonations" that affected the speed of the search for the "missing materials," which were found within 20 minutes. "I sometimes even feel sorry for those girls and boys who today make up the backbone of the investigation, who honestly admit that even working around the clock, they struggle to understand 'criminal economics' due to their age and lack of experience. But I was forced on May 28 to inform the leadership of the Economic Security Department about the possible intentional 'failure to provide information on the progress of the investigation.' As well as about the unfulfilled desire to know the reasons for the months-long extension of the preliminary investigation. This is very important for understanding if there is information about buyers from the close circle of Colonel Voronov (on September 24, 2025, the Regional Court recognized former Deputy Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kirov Region Andrey Voronov in 'receiving a bribe on a large scale' and 'exceeding official powers for mercenary interests,' sentencing him to six years in 'strict regime' and a fine of 19.3 million rubles)." Do we not want or approve? As Igor Bondar explained, the unacceptable "relaxation of the investigation," in his opinion, if it does not stimulate, may be encouraged by the prosecutor's office, which probably does not react in the context of "YSGD" to any violations of the law. "We ourselves found the likely embezzlers of the competitive mass of the 'Trust,' we ourselves appealed to the court, the Investigative Committee, the police, and the prosecutor's office. But with such 'activity' of the authorities, part of the missing assets may have been destroyed or is being destroyed as evidence. We provided photo documentation: a cut-down crane in the form of a pile of scrap metal... A document stating that delays allow pressure on witnesses to change their testimonies. But in response... silence. And we can only reread the November — of last year — assurance from the prosecutor 'to take personal control of the verification conducted on the collective statement of the workers of the "Trust," Bondar reported. As Igor Viktorovich recounted, the final decision to hold the prosecutor's office accountable "for inaction" was formed when two pensioners appealed to SOCPROF for help. 65-year-old Nikolai Kushov — a deceived co-investor, who has been "going between the prosecutor's office and the police" for more than four years in hopes of bringing to criminal responsibility those who received about three million rubles from him back in 2016 and "scammed" him for an apartment in a building under construction on Maklina Street. The second — 80-year-old pensioner Konstantin Kohanov is soon receiving a five-year term of prosecutor's, like a copy, "refusal replies" regarding the fraud with the land plot committed by a well-known bankruptcy manager in Kirov. "I understand," says Bondar, "that for investigating the case of the 'Trust,' even the strongest and most experienced specialist will need time — to find three missing billion, one must study thousands of documents and interview dozens of witnesses. But not to help two deceived old men, who have gathered all the evidence of the fraud committed against them — this should not go unpunished. But even in response to the January appeal to the Regional Prosecutor's Office from the Human Rights Commissioner Alexander Panov, there has been no response so far."
