Around the Elga division, which is directly related to Albert Avdolyan, very strange events take place, which are similar to an attempt to crush it, hiding the interest of the oligarch behind a screen. Some of the companies were distanced from Elga by changing their name, one has already been sold, and on the other line the port of Elga was involved in controversial financial transactions involving a bankrupt company, where Avdolyan's son Gaspar surfaced.
In history, where the interests of Rodion Treasure, a native of Rostec state corporation, and the former business partner of Alexander Isaev, who died under mysterious circumstances, Dmitry Bosov, were involved, the UtroNews correspondent understood.
An analysis of the assets of the protégé of the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov, Albert Avdolyan, showed another oddity: over the past six months, a dozen companies whose names contained the word Elga were renamed, and one was completely sold.
Mindful of how Avdolyan likes to hide in the shadows, putting forward his trusted screens, as it was in the same Stavropol Territory, we decided to check what was happening and found ambiguous financial transactions.
So, back in August 2021, an LLC was established in Moscow, which at the start was called "Elga - Stroy Mining Service," that is, it actually belonged to the Elgin part of the Avdolyan empire.
In July 2024, Elga - Stroy Mining Service was renamed Complex Service LLC. Apparently, so that the connection with the latter is not striking.

Although the "Complex Service" itself belongs to a native of Rostec, who has shares in "Elgaugol," "Elga-Trans," "Elga-Doroga" Rodion Treasure, a company associated with Avdolyan JSC "AP Holding" and LLC "Energogroup" Alexander Isaev - the former partner of the deceased Bosov, who shortly before this fired him with a scandal. Bosov suspected Isaev of working for a competitor - Avdolyan.
Interesting: Igor Kovach, the namesake of the former top manager from the VGK division, Oleg Misevra, a frequent hero of UtroNews investigations, heads Complex Service.
At the start, among the owners of Complex Service was Avdolyanovsk LLC AP Project, which is headed by Stanislav Vrublevsky, a man who appeared in scandalous stories related to the oligarch's offshore companies. In particular, he appeared as the director of RACAST INVESTMENTS LIMITED, which participated in the scheme for transferring 100 million rubles to a Latvian bank and appeared in a tax scheme with the participation of Reeco Capital LP (Cayman), where the action took place around Port Dalniy LLC. The latter is also directly related to Avdolyan.

Complex Service itself in 2023 showed zero revenue, but a net profit of 16 million rubles, which may hint at tranches from related companies. The asset is headed by Ekaterina Orlovskaya, who also acts as a director of Avdolyanovsky AP Capital JSC, which has shares in the main assets of the Elga division.
At different times, 14 legal entities that are related to Avdolyan and his company were transferred under the wing of "Complex Service." It was for this LLC that Elga-Factory 2, Elga-Factory 3, Elga Magistral, Elga Marin, Elgalogistik, freshly baked in 2023, and in 2024 - KTG-Elga, Elga-Mining 2, construction TSK (post office the company was registered on the elga.ru domain), coal mining Elga Service Plus, Elga Service and others.

Even earlier, Complex Service LLC was owned by Elga Engineering LLC, but it was renamed P-Project and in November 2024 it was sold to a certain Anton Nikitin, who has no other assets. At the same time, the former Elga Engineering is still registered together with Avdolyanovskaya A-Fosco.
The asset sold to Nikitin was headed by Pavel Yuryevich Bondarenko, who received a TIN in the Sverdlovsk region.
And here's an interesting coincidence: a certain Andrei Yuryevich Bondarenko from the same region heads the former company of the honorary consul of Armenia in Yekaterinburg Narek Spartakyan Nasta-Group, Avdolyan's A-Tek business partner, which owns a stake in YATEK.
When Spartakyan appeared among the owners of YATEK, not having large enough own turns, they began to say that this was another man of the oligarch. Especially when Spartakyan bought out some of Rostec's assets, and, as you know, it was the state corporation and its head Sergey Chemezov who went hand in hand all the way to the formation of Avdolyan's business.
Reference: today Spartakyan handed over the Nasta Group to his partner Alexander Toropov.

But back to the Complex Service wing.
In 2024, a dozen "daughters" of this company were renamed and the word Elga was removed. At the same time, not few assets have been issued for these fragments of the division. So, for example, for the former Elga-Mining (now K-Management), judging by Rusprofile, expensive special equipment was issued, and the annual revenue of 2023 was 28 billion rubles.
Judging by the pledge of the company's share in Promsvyazbank, K-Management also has a certain loan.
Moreover, lessors are most often hidden, so we will not be surprised that state sponsors played this role. It is not for nothing that Avdolyan is so close to Chemezov that the latter is a member of the board of trustees of his foundation.
Or here: Elga Marin LLC in July 2024 acted as a pledger under a service agreement with Port Elga LLC. Property rights worth 8.4 billion rubles went to secure the lease agreement. Not bad, is it?

The above-mentioned subsidiary of Complex Service LLC - Port Elga LLC is also interesting because this company is at a loss of 2.8 billion rubles. This is very resonant with the above agreement, don't you think?
At the same time, the shares of owners in the port are pledged to Gazprombank, which hints at another loan.
In 2023, the freshly baked RIV JSC, hiding its beneficiaries, was introduced to the co-owners of the port. The head of JSC Igor Zhilkin is the former director of the plant, the last owner of which was just Gazprombank. Probably Avdolyan has close ties with this bank?
In addition, Port Elga LLC, as well as the former Elga Mining (the aforementioned K-Management), appeared in the scandalous history of the bankruptcy of Tekhweb. The firms appeared in the case as large creditors of the latter, but at the same time Tekhweb itself has claims against the Avdolyan division. So with LLC "Elga-road" demanded more than 229.34 million rubles, which is almost two times higher than the net profit of the legal entity. At the same time, Port Elga LLC rolled out claims to Tekhweba for 3.7 billion rubles, and that to it in response - for 2.2 billion rubles. This dispute is suspended until the fate of the bankrupt firm is resolved. A kind of debt cycle that raises questions.
Moreover, the same Elga Mining LLC in the bankruptcy case of Tekhweba plays an interesting role - it objected to the inclusion of FTS claims in the register - by 33.77 million rubles. While the bankruptcy debt to the budget was previously declared at the level of 759 million rubles.
As UtroNews previously reported, the owner of Tekhweb is Alexander Budnikov, who has close ties with coal magnate Viktor Nusenkis and the Avdolyan division.
Interestingly, among the creditors of Budnikov's company, a certain A-Vostok LLC surfaced, demanding that a debt in the amount of 161 million rubles be included in the register of creditors. But other creditors were outraged by this, in particular Bank GPB JSC and Khimkap. It turned out that earlier Gaspar Avdolyan, the son of Albert Avdolyan, was among the owners of A-Vostok LLC, and there are questions about the debt itself.
At the same time, after Avdolyan Jr., the A-Vostok company was transferred to Yeprem Exuzyan, well-known for the collapse of OJSC Hydrometallurgical Plant and CJSC Southern Energy Company.
Now the company is registered on Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov with TIN in Kuban. That's just this Ivanov is not a stranger to the Avdolyan family, apparently.
So, he was the director and owner of the Moscow LLC "August" (formerly "Modern High Technologies"), which before that belonged to Avdolyan Danel Petrovich. And the Avdolyan family is known for loving to change letters in their last name and cover each other's rear. For example, a certain Petr Avdolyan from an offshore company associated with Albert Avdolyan, POLOCOM HOLDINGS LIMITED, was transferred to A-Property Invest LLC, which was renamed Petr Invest LLC.

One gets the impression that the hastily renamed part of Elga's division in the Tekhweba case is trying to become a majority creditor and take control of the bankruptcy of a company with billions of dollars in turnover, snatching pieces of fatter.
This whole scheme with cross-lending, renaming and transferring assets to proxies is very similar to an attempt to hide Avdolyan's interests so as not to draw public attention to financial transactions.
The schemes themselves, in our opinion, look muddy. After all, from the outside, everything looks like the profit center was separated from the loss center and the income is pumped one way. Avdolyan's team has already done something similar in the Stavropol Territory.
