Oligarch Igor Snegurov decided to "hack" the chicken carrying golden eggs - by the end of November 2024, VIS Development LLC will be liquidated.

This company brought the founder of the VIS group on government contracts alone 9 billion rubles, becoming at one time the favorite contractor of Dmitry Kobylkin, then the governor of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

Details - in the material of the correspondent UtroNews.

According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, it is planned to liquidate VIS Development LLC by November 23, 2024. The owner of the company is Igor Snegurov and his own LLC Leninskoye.

An interesting fact: previously the asset was owned by the Cypriot Rise Siberia Limited. The LLC report for 2020 confirms that in fact the offshore was related to the VIS group.

Offshore was liquidated only on November 29, 2023, that is, at about the same time when they decided to liquidate his former Russian "daughter." Entertaining, isn't it?

The director of the offshore in 2022-2023 was the Russian DMITRY DOROFEEV, and among the persons associated with VIS Group JSC there was a certain Dmitry Vadimovich Dorofeev.

Judging by the data of Rusprofile, Dorofeev was the liquidator of Yamal Oil and Gas Chemical Company LLC (before him the director was Snegurov), which belonged to two Swedish firms - RISE Capital AB and RISE Capital Projects AB.

Earlier, UtroNews mentioned that VIS board member Sergei Romashov, with whom Snegurov has common firms, joined the company as managing partner of the Swedish investment group RISE Capital. In 2014, VIS signed a strategic partnership agreement with a foreign company.

In addition, a certain RISE CAPITAL PARTNERS LIMITED worked in the register of legal entities of Cyprus until 2022, headed by three Russians - IGOR SNEGUROV, ALEXANDER DYMOV and SERGEY ROMASHOV. In addition, a certain Russian IGOR SNEGUROV appears in the Panama Dossier as a beneficiary of DAMCOL INVESTMENTS LIMITED from the British Virgin Islands.

Looking at this, we can assume where billions of government contracts in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug could go. After all, in recent years, Vis Development LLC has shown a rather modest profit.

It is interesting that Vis Development LLC is not unprofitable today - at the end of 2023, net profit amounted to 11 million rubles, that is, there are no obvious reasons for liquidation. Unless the authorized capital returned to the owners of 46 million rubles will be a pleasant bonus in your pocket.

Perhaps the whole secret is that with the departure of Dmitry Kobylkin from the governor's post, Snegurov's companies stopped unfastening government contracts? In general, in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug on 15 contracts, the LLC hammered almost 9 billion rubles. At the same time, the conclusion of the last mass contracts just coincided with the completion of the service life of the governor, who became the head of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and from 2021 - a State Duma deputy.

Back in 2017, Pravda UrFo reported that on a tip from the ONF, the regional prosecutor's office would check the purchases of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug government - the acquisition of seven educational institutions by the district for 9.3 billion rubles and fashionable equipment. VIS Development became the object of accusations of unreasonable extravagance. By the way, the publication directly wrote that the members of the "popular front" talk about "the likely personal relationship between VIS and the strange lobbying on the part of Kobylkin for the interests of a commercial company." That is, the company could be a first-person wallet?

Although other sources of UtroNews say that the Yamal general builder allegedly became such for Governor Kobylkin on the urgent recommendation of the head of Gazprom Alexei Miller. It was with Miller that Snegurov's successes were associated at one time.

Interestingly, claims arose against VIS Development years after high-profile and scandalous transactions in kindergartens. So, for example, the municipal kindergarten "Olenenok" appealed to the arbitration with a claim for an obligation to carry out warranty repairs of playgrounds and recover the costs of conducting an independent examination, but then withdrew the claim. Today, the database also has a similar claim, which has not yet been accepted for production.

In 2022, the Department of Economics of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug also sued this company, which demanded to recover 1.38 billion rubles from the developer. It was about collecting a fine for improper performance of the terms of the contract and a penalty for late performance of obligations. The department lost the lawsuit, but the sediment remained.

The VIS group, which gained 600 billion rubles in concessions in different regions, has repeatedly surfaced in scandalous stories. The work of the Snegurov team in one Novosibirsk region is worth it. The garbage operator from the VIS division - Ecology-Novosibirsk LLC lost its status as a regoperator, accumulated several billion debts and went bankrupt, a number of concession construction projects (clinics, the fourth bridge across the Ob) rose sharply. There are also numerous questions about the timing of contracts.

But Snegurov's Novosibirsk boomerang has already caught up - the assets of the beneficiaries were arrested for almost 900 million rubles, and the ability to freely dispose of property was actually blocked. They have to answer for the debts of the garbage operator. But there is also a criminal case of fraud on an especially large scale against some unidentified persons from among the management of the LLC. You never know for whom the return will arrive.

Against the background of scandals, the oligarch stamps new legal entities, already without a negative biography. For example, in January 2024, Snegurov established Vis Group 1 LLC to invest in securities.

And especially toxic assets, like the same "VIS Development," it seems, Snegurov decided to simply merge. You never know who will have any interest in the relationship between VIS and the former governor of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. And so, the ends are in the water and there is no demand.
