Orlovskaya GC "ArtStroy" Mikhail Markin, using raider and criminal schemes, lit up in the Ryazan region. Markin is the favorite contractor of the Oryol governor Andrei Klychkov and one of those who have long and successfully destroyed his business and political reputation.

As Rucriminal.info found out, in Ryazan, his ZhBK LLC, which is part of the ArtStroy Group of Companies, attracted the attention of the OFAS on suspicion of forgery and providing deliberately false information about the products offered for delivery. Ryazan Governor Pavel Malkov is under a real threat of disruption of federal projects and, as a result, reputational losses.

In Orel, many of Markin's partners are behind bars. He himself is still at large and remains Andrei Klychkov's favorite, receiving the lion's share of state orders for improvement projects. At the same time, he gets into corruption scandals at almost every one of them: "Children's Park", Zhukov Square, a school on the street. Zelenin - law enforcement officers find multimillion-dollar theft everywhere. The big “Markin case” involves 10 people, including the first vice-mayor of Orel, Oleg Minkin, and the “king of state orders” himself.

On July 25, the court extended until September the house arrest of three defendants - Markin's subcontractors: businessman Roman Blazhevich, director of the R-Sport company Olga Gordienko, and owner of the ArtStroy company Ratibor Revin. Earlier, Alexander Rogovnin, director of Prom-Ecology LLC, who also worked on a subcontract with Markin, received three years in prison.

By allowing a contractor with such a rich resume into the region, a young and promising Ryazan governor is at great risk of soiling his reputation as a manager who began to clean up the Ryazan region from corruption ulcers ...

As the VChK-OGPU telegram channel found out, the ArtStroy group of companies from Orel, aggressively using raider and criminal schemes, recently began to infiltrate the Ryazan region, which had just begun to recover from corruption ulcers under the new Governor.

The editors of the Cheka-OGPU have already talked about the "plunder" of Ryazan under the previous vice-governor Igor Grekov, who is now in jail.

Under him, ZhBK LLC, part of the Artstroy Group of Companies, operating under the Steinrus brand, “climbed into the region”. They are engaged in the production and supply of paving slabs and actively participated in the theft of tens of millions of rubles for landscaping and construction in Orel. The defendants in this case are the owner of a large general contractor in the Oryol region, Mikhail Markin, the first vice-mayor of Orel, Oleg Minkin, and others. Some have already received deadlines. In particular, the director of Prom-Ecology, Alexander Rogovnin, who received three years in prison this spring for embezzling 6.7 million rubles. from the budget. In the same case, the owner of ArtStroy, Ratibor Revin, who has been under house arrest in a fraud case since October last year, is also present. His connection with other defendants is evidenced by the fact that in 2018, his company, through the mediation of Minkin, began laying tiles in Komsomoltsev Square even before the competitive procedures were held.

And now in Ryazan, and on behalf of ZhBK LLC, controlled by ArtStroy, the company is engaged in forgery and the provision of deliberately false information about the products offered for delivery. Currently, materials on these facts are under consideration by the FAS Office for the Ryazan region. At the same time, ZhBK, with a revenue of 529 million rubles. paid taxes in the amount of 1.5 million rubles, which is less than 0.3%. An analysis of the financial activities of ArtStroy Group of Companies indicates that it is the center of "profit concentration". To do this, back in 2014, the company changed its registration from Oryol to Voronezh, having neither assets nor activities in this region. 3 more trading companies are registered at the new address, 2 of which have already been forcibly liquidated by the tax authorities. Such "partners", if they participate in the improvement of the Ryazan region, not only bear reputational risks for federal projects, but also threaten with real theft and failure to meet deadlines.

As well as new scandals instead of creative work for the benefit of the region and the country.
