Maxim Evgenievich Blazhko is a specialist in residential real estate who has been successfully engaged in development activities in Moscow for more than twenty years. Under his leadership, many construction projects have been implemented since 1994. These are twenty residential objects with a total area of \u200b\u200babout three million square meters. In addition to residential buildings, business complexes, as well as premium-class projects, were built under his supervision. All of them are of high quality implementation.
Success story of Maxim Blazhko
If a real estate or construction company is a non-core asset or an additional business, it is not at all a fact that it will be successful. Any team of managers without the right direction from the shareholder will be homeless.
Blazhko Maxim Evgenievich
In 1994, he created the company "DON-system." Over the years of managing DON-Stroy (1994-2008), he brought the company to the position of leader in the capital's residential real estate market. Over the 14 years of management, 30 objects were sold with a total area of \u200b\u200bmore than 1,500 thousand square meters. The most famous objects are: “Scarlet Sails”, “Triumph Palace”, “Sparrow Hills”. In 2003, Triumph Palace was recognized as the tallest building in Europe. In 2005, the residential complex “Vorobyovy Gory” and “Triumph Palace” were awarded the prize for the best realized object in the field of investment and construction under the patronage of the Government of Moscow as residential projects of increased comfort.
Over the years of work of Maxim Blazhko, the company has built and donated to the city more than 20 modern children’s play complexes, sports grounds (Raspletin Street, Academician Bochvar, Novikov, Meretskov, Tvardovsky and others). A comprehensive improvement of the territories of schools, kindergartens, courtyards (M. Novikova St., M. Biryuzova 35, the municipal embankment on Aviation Street) was carried out.
In addition, financial and other assistance was constantly provided to sponsored organizations, child care facilities, rehabilitation centers for children and adolescents, various medical equipment was purchased for specialized child care facilities (d / s No. 2230, No. 226, No. 1020, children's sanatorium No. 24, City Clinic No. 71 ) At its own expense, the company erected a chapel of the icon of the Theodore Mother of God, the Church of St. Innocent in Northern AO. At the Moscow Institute of Music. A new large educational building was built and opened in Schnittke; a fitness center “Comet” was built in Strogino.
Don-Stroy acted as a single customer and developer for the implementation of the program for the Comprehensive Reconstruction and Development of the Shchukino municipal district. Since 1996, 32,000 sq. M. m of dilapidated housing stock, residential buildings were built on Aviatsionnaya 72, Raspletina 28, I. Levchenko 1, Militia 29-30, Aviation 66, Marshal Vasilevsky 9-4, Teplichny per. 4-8., Aviation 59-61, Aviation 63-65. In 2007, the opening of the Pike shopping and entertainment complex took place, which was awarded the People’s Trail. The most popular shopping center. ”
In 2009, in connection with the situation on the market, Don-Stroy was divided into two parts: Don-Stroy Invest (residential projects) and DS-Development (commercial real estate), headed by Maxim Blazhko. Projects such as: On Begovoy shopping center, Nordstar Taur shopping center, Schuka shopping center, Sokolniki shopping center, IFC project on Zvenigorodskoye Shosse went to DS Development. The company was later renamed Nordstar Development. In 2009, the company commissioned the Nordstar Tower business center (135 thousand square meters). In the period from 2011-2013. Nordstar Development has developed the concept of the Armory business center with a total area of \u200b\u200b152.5 thousand square meters. m. and a height of 165 m. In 2011, the business center “Arms” was sold to the mining and metallurgical holding “Metallinvest”.
The company owned by the entrepreneur began to build a complex of 200-meter skyscrapers LCD "Neskuchny Sad", destroying the infrastructure of the district and not relocating residents
How Maxim Blazhko destroyed the infrastructure of the microdistrict, demolished the only convenience store, destroyed a recreation area and a children's playground, hammered a pit at arm's length from the fourth and seventh buildings, and for this purpose it is supposed to take thirteen houses with a storey from the residents and tenants no more than five floors and land beneath them.
The Moscow Arbitration Court scheduled for April 26 the main hearings on the lawsuit of the state corporation Vnesheconombank (VEB) to recover more than 10.5 billion rubles from the developer Maxim Blazhko, former co-owner of Donstroy .
It was this man who was held hostage by more than a thousand Muscovites living in their misfortune in thirteen capital brick houses on the 5th Donskoy passage of the capital in the complex of houses at number 21.
How to select property
In Moscow, scandals are becoming louder during the resettlement of residents who do not want to understand the benefits of relocation during demolition or renovation. Muscovites claim that the apartments provided are no better than those being withdrawn, and even the new houses are not conveniently located, repairs to them are no good, door-windows “fly out”, etc. In a word, they wanted the best, but it turned out again what happened. After all, conflicts between developers and old-timers are common for our city. The housing problem has spoiled more than one generation of Muscovites.
But what is happening now in the 5th Donskoy passage, ow. 21, this is too much even for Moscow. The situation can be said to be unique. On this territory, GORN DEVELOPMENT, owned by Maxim Blazhko, plans to build a complex of 200-meter skyscrapers of the Neskuchny Sad residential complex. And for the sake of this, it is supposed to take away from the residents, both owners and tenants, thirteen houses with no more than five floors and the land under them.
To date, developers have completely destroyed the well-inhabited infrastructure of the microdistrict, demolished the only convenience store, destroyed a recreation area and a playground, hammered a foundation pit at arm's length from the fourth and seventh buildings.
“I didn't know anything. The neighbors called and said that they would demolish us. I was shocked - how to demolish? The house is excellent, strong, cherished an apartment for sons. And now they’re demolishing it. Who decided why? I am the owner, why didn’t they ask me? ”
“I’m afraid to let my daughter go outside in the evening. It’s dangerous - cars drive, there are no sidewalks, migrant builders walk. Will developers clean up or relocate? ”
“I can’t work calmly - all the time there is noise, the house constantly shudders.
When will it end? ”
“I have retired parents who cannot normally go to the clinic. Why was the minibus removed? ”
Such questions from residents of 5 Donskoy proezd, ow. 21 remain virtually unanswered.
Moreover, before the start of construction and in its process, Maxim Blazhko’s company did not fulfill its obligations to resettle residents of 13 buildings. Until October last year, Moscow authorities and developers issued written promises that by October 1, 2017 buildings 4 and 7 would be completely resettled. Instead, in October, the representative of the developer Ashraf Alimov said that they did not have money for resettlement. And the new answers announced another date for the final resettlement of the buildings - January 1, 2018. On the nose April 2018. When asked about the number of apartments housed in buildings 7 and 4, developers, citing trade secrets, are silent, like heroic guerrillas, arguing, unlike residents, that “the process is underway”.
Meanwhile, the ownership of Muscovites, in their opinion, is purposefully brought to an emergency state. People using a dictaphone record say that in private conversations the representatives of the developer promise them such conditions of existence that for happiness it seems to run away from the center of the capital to the most remote New Moscow.
"They lie like breathing"
In October last year, Maxim Blazhko, CEO of the investor - GORN DEVELOPMENT company, managed to act as a defendant in a criminal case under part 2 of article 201 of the Criminal Code (abuse of authority). He tried to “throw” regular creditors. An electronic bracelet for a home prisoner, of course, did not add positive to the already existing image of a scandalous debtor and potential bankrupt. We believe that precisely in connection with this, last fall in electronic and print media there was a volley release of PR materials about a “wonderful” Russian developer:
"LCD" NON-BORING HOME & SPA "under the leadership of Maxim Blazhko will be built on time"
"The company's philosophy is to create houses that are surprising and worthy to become the new architectural legends of Moscow."
Maxim Blazhko, CEO of GORN Development commenting on the completion of the foundation works, he noted: “We have completed the most difficult and crucial stage of construction of the first building of Neskuchny, further work will go much faster. At the next stage, works on monolithic structures of 2 underground and 2 above-ground non-residential floors will be completed, after which the builders will begin work on the designs of typical floors with apartments located on them. At this stage, the pace of construction of reinforced concrete will be 4-5 floors of finished structures per month. By the new year, we plan to build 10 floors of the first building, and we will finish the construction of the building in December next year. ”
New Year walks the country for three months. But where are the promised floors? Congratulations to you, Maxim Evgenievich, lied! You must agree that when you made broadcast statements as a “specialist” last year, you knew very well that without the resettlement of at least two buildings located practically on a construction site, realization of such ambitions is impossible.
Today, instead of resettling residents, the developer company, which is insolvent in fulfilling its own obligations, is actively trading in air. Among the co-investors who bought non-existent apartments over the heads of Muscovites from the 5th Donskoy, according to some reports, there are already foreign investors. And for those Muscovites whose developers turn into emergency houses, they offer NOTHING. Just NOTHING. Can you imagine this in a state of law, especially in the capital of a state of law?
Bank washes hands
In January of this year, the media reported on the transfer to the state-owned bank VEB of a stake in the Neskuchny Home & Spa project.
Maxim Blazhko and VEB really have strong financial relations: the ex-owner of Don-Stroy is a bank debtor on a loan, which his company took back in 2007 to acquire a site where the construction of skyscrapers is now planned, and so far has failed pay off. The size of the loan was $ 288 million. For several years, VEB unsuccessfully sought to pay off debt until it came to an amicable settlement. In accordance with it, the bank forgave Blazhko almost half of the debt - more than 2.7 billion rubles, and payments on the remaining 2.8 billion rubles were restructured until December 2019. The bank has pledged shares in companies associated with the Neskuchny Home & Spa LCD project, including a 99.95% stake in the project developer Stroy-Kompleks LLC.
The entry of a large state-owned, and, to some extent, socially oriented bank, into the sensational project inspired some hope in the desperate residents of the 5th Donskoy. And we asked the bank representatives, already as full partners in the construction, some old, but not lost their relevance to date issues.
- Construction has been going on for more than a year and is very active, but people are not settled. Today they live in extreme conditions.
- During construction, safety standards are absolutely not observed. There is a real danger to the life and health of residents. The bypass road built by the developer runs almost along the border of the entrances, there is no way to stop the ambulance cars and the entrance of the fire truck.
- What and when do you intend to do in the face of the growing threat of a social explosion? Residents intend to appeal to international organizations for the protection of human rights, to hold a press conference for foreign media. How will this affect the reputation of VEB?
The reaction struck with its brevity.
“In response to your request, we inform the following:
VEB Group is not a construction operator and cooperates with the developer exclusively within the framework of project financing. ”
Translated from the bureaucratic language into Russian, this means the following:
- VEB Group admits that it finances the unlawful actions of the developer. That is, it’s precisely at her expense that Gorn Development continues to turn the lives of those who have the misfortune of owning apartments or living on social welfare on 5 Donskoy proezd, 21, literally into hell.
- The VEB group is aware that the developer continues to build the Neskuchny Sad residential complex using VEB funds, without resettling the residents of the 5th Donskoy passage, 21, which informs that there are no funds for resettlement. And I am aware that at the same time Gorn Development is selling apartments not yet built in the residential complex Neskuchny Sad, including to foreign investors. VEB’s leadership consciously lays down its reputation for this situation?
- VEB Group refuses to consider its social responsibility for the implementation of the project Neskuchny Sad funded by it, the beneficiary of which will be, first of all, VEB. What is strange for a bank that personifies at the international level the financial policy of the Russian Federation, which under the Constitution is a social state.
- No action will be taken.
Moscow authorities: indulge or share?
And finally, the most important thing. Obviously, the lawlessness created by investors in relation to the residents of the 5th Donskoy passage, could not have occurred with the responsible execution by the city authorities of their responsibilities for managing construction processes in Moscow.
For the sake of Maxim Blazhko, a developer with a very dubious reputation, the Moscow Government for some reason decided to declare thirteen completely well-maintained corps of ownership of 21 “uninhabited” or “unused”. Houses with people living there were declared empty. Residents that they were all given for development were not notified. No public hearings were held. Muscovites in the best traditions of serfdom were given to the mercy of certain merchants who wanted to evict them from the center of the capital to somewhere far away and cheaper.
Citizens are openly and shamelessly deprived of the right to private property, the right to live normally. And even the right to life itself - a crane overhanging houses in the summer during a hurricane rocked, so that people fled from apartments. Appeals to all authorities do not lead to anything. The impudence of developers is reinforced by answers from all branches of the Moscow government that they say everything is “according to the law”.
Today, in the very center of Moscow, a situation has developed that could bury the entire renovation program and, in general, new construction in Moscow, and create the most negative image for it in the country and abroad. If a commercial project that is not being implemented in the interests of the city is being attempted to be executed with such violations, it is completely clear how developers, with the filing of Moscow rulers, will deal with Muscovites in the process of renovation itself.

Alexander Tukmakov
Having lost almost his entire business in the last crisis, the co-owner of Don Story, one of the largest Moscow developers, Maxim Blazhko chose not to give up and return to construction. Trying to create a new company, the businessman involved his family members in the process. So probably seemed to him to be reliable. But in the current crisis, the developer again threatened to lose his site: now, according to his own estimates, the total debt to creditors reaches 60 billion rubles.
Four years ago, Maxim Blazhko announced a major development project in the Ruze near Moscow. The application was made powerful: on 4.7 thousand hectares in the settlement of Volkovskoye to build 7.8 million square meters. m. The developer of the project was Nordstar Tower LLC, a company created by Mr. Blazhko in an attempt to reincarnate the business after losing its assets in 2009. Then the main assets of the Don-Stroy group created by him and Dmitry Zelenov were taken away by creditors: VTB transferred all of the company's residential projects, Sberbank was part of commercial real estate. But Mr. Blazhko’s new project in Ruza did not include his Don Stroy partner. Mr. Zelenov refused to communicate with Kommersant, citing the fact that he no longer does business. Maxim Blazhko involved his family and friends in a new development business - his mother Olga Blazhko, who owns the Scarlet Sails supermarket, his wife Yanina Grebenshchikova, who is trying to build a network of pet stores, and Yuri Genbachev, a former soloist of the once popular VIA Gems. Kommersant found out how close the businessman’s people are involved in his projects and to whom, in the event of another default, he can take over control of his assets.
Marital Relations
The name of Yanina Grebenshchikova began to be mentioned in October 2016 in connection with the proceedings around the assets of Maxim Blazhko. Then she filed for bankruptcy of the Nordstar Tower LLC. This company owns the Nordstar Tower business center (135.5 thousand square meters on Begovaya Street in Moscow), which is controlled by the structures of Mr. Blazhko. In 2015, this building was at the center of the proceedings between him and Rosneft’s structures. Then the main tenant of Nordstar is TNK-BP (a subsidiary of Rosneft), which occupied 37.7 thousand square meters in the business center. m, could not agree with the owner to amend the current contract of employment. As the source told Kommersant, at that time the board was fixed at $ 550 per 1 sq. m per year, the tenant expected to convert the calculation into rubles against the background of a sharp devaluation of the national currency. But it was not possible to agree on concessions; the main reason for Nordstar’s reluctance to meet the tenant was traditionally called the dollar-denominated debt of the company to Sberbank.
In December 2015, Sberbank lost the claim on loans to the Nordstar Tower in the amount of 25.9 billion rubles. Cyprus Offshore River Meeting Trading and Investments Limited. The beneficiaries of this company are not disclosed, according to Kommersant’s interlocutors, the structure acts in the interests of Rosneft. Mr. Blazhko himself previously explained that in June 2016, Rosneft paid off part of the debt of the Nordstar Tower to the River Meetings. Rosneft declined to comment on relations with the structures of Mr. Blazhko. As the Vedomosti newspaper previously reported, Riverchord Trading and Investments Limited also has a shopping mall, Schuka (100,000 sq. M.) In the north-west of Moscow, on another debt purchased from Sberbank. Mr. Blazhko confirmed to Kommersant this information.
Vedomosti interlocutors earlier filed a lawsuit filed against this background by Yanina Grebenshchikova with the owner’s desire to prevent the transfer of Nordstar Tower to Rosneft’s control. Mr. Blazhko himself declared that she acts exclusively in her own interests. Mrs. Grebenshchikova is the wife of Maxim Blazhko. As follows from the marriage contract concluded between them in 2012 (Kommersant has a copy), the relationship was formalized in 1994. According to the agreement, Ms Grebenshchikova recognizes the rights of the holder of bills issued by Don Development and Management CJSC for a total amount of 558.97 million rubles at par. and claim rights to this company in the amount of 191.09 million rubles. Now Yanina Grebenshchikova, according to Kartoteka.ru, is the founder of LLC Gorn and LLC BC Northstar, where Maxim Blazhko is the general director.
Development is not the only area of \u200b\u200binterest for Ms. Grebenshchikova. Together with Anna Stuyt, she also established Zoo Products A to Z LLC (50%), Zoo AY LLC (50%), Zooomir A to Z LLC (50%) and Taste of Life LLC (50%), according to Kartoteka.ru. The main activity of the first three companies is the retail sale of pets and pet food in specialized stores. Kommersant was able to find several stores in Zootovary AJ in Moscow at once, including in Shchuk.
Under the Scarlet Sails
Another problematic project of Maxim Blazhko is a multifunctional complex (IFC) at the intersection of Zvenigorodskoye Shosse and 3rd Silikatny Passage. Don-Stroy planned to build this site back in 2007. Initially, a residential project was planned here, in which Mr. Blazhko and Dmitry Zelenov were ready to invest $ 400 million. But after the crisis of 2009, plans changed. In 2014, Moscow authorities agreed on the appearance on this section of IFC Zvenigorodsky for 267 thousand square meters. m, of which 172 thousand square meters. m - shopping and entertainment area, 95 thousand square meters. m - a business center. At the same time, the mayor’s office agreed with the transfer of rights to this project to River Tower LLC. This legal entity, according to Kartoteka.ru, is 90% owned by Maxim Blazhko through Rita LLC, another 10% is owned by Russian Capital Bank.
But the Zvenigorodsky was not built. In November 2016, the Moscow Arbitration Court introduced a monitoring procedure in relation to River Tower LLC. The initiator of the proceedings was initially the Russian Capital Bank, which is now considered the main creditor of the company. In total, the arbitration court recognized the bank's claims for 8.16 billion rubles as justified. But not all this money was taken by the River Tower directly. From the court materials it follows that in 2013, Sorta LLC received two loans from the bank to purchase space in Zvenigorodskoye. The bank estimates the current amount of debt at 5.89 billion rubles, of which 4.03 billion is the main debt, 1.46 billion are interest, 397.8 million rubles are forfeit. In March 2017, a court charged this debt to River Tower LLC, which acted as a guarantor of loans. According to Kartoteka.ru, Sorta LLC through Avtomotor LLC is owned by Yuri Genbachev. One of Kommersant’s interlocutors claims that Mr. Genbachev is a former member of the once popular VIA Samotsvety and a close friend of Yanina Grebenshchikova’s mother. In relation to Sorta LLC itself, a monitoring procedure was also introduced in December 2016. "Russian capital" filed claims on this company in the amount of 6.2 billion rubles., It follows from the materials of the court. It was not possible to contact Yuri Genbachev himself: they said in Sort that he was a freelance employee and rarely came to the office.
Another co-investor in the construction of Zvenigorodsky is Admiral LLC. In January 2014, this company entered into a corresponding agreement with River Tower LLC, investing 300 million rubles in the project. In February of this year, the arbitration court recognized the claims of the Admiral in the amount of 416.58 million rubles as justified. According to Kartoteka.ru, Admiral LLC is controlled through a chain of legal entities by Olga Blazhko, the mother of Maxim Blazhko (she also develops a network of supermarkets “Scarlet Sails”). Contact with her failed.
Olga Blazhko is connected with another project of her son. Kartoteka.ru states that it has established Multiservice LLC, in respect of which, in March 2017, a monitoring procedure was also introduced at the suit of Russian Capital. According to court materials, in 2011 the state bank issued two loans to this company totaling 1.49 billion rubles. According to an interlocutor of Kommersant familiar with the situation, this company acted as an investor in the Serebryany Bor complex of cottages located on Tamanskaya Street in Moscow. According to a Kommersant source, now there are four buildings located on two adjacent plots on the balance of Multiservice controlled CJSC Complex Serebryany Bor, the total area of \u200b\u200bthis property is 3.3 thousand square meters. m, land - about 2 hectares. The interlocutor of Kommersant estimates the market value of the project at 3.6 billion rubles. In relation to CJSC Complex Serebryany Bor, Russian Capital also filed for bankruptcy in August last year.
In Russian Capital itself, the total debt of River Tower LLC, Sorta LLC and Multiservice LLC, taking into account the accrued interest and interest, is estimated at 9.99 billion rubles. As the representative of the bank explained, now the collateral for these loans is the project for the construction of Zvenigorodsky, the right to lease a 6.5 hectare land plot on Avtomotornaya Street and the factory property located on it, three land plots on Tamanskaya Street with a total area of \u200b\u200b1.99 hectares and four buildings located here. According to an interlocutor of Kommersant who is familiar with the activities of the company, in October 2016, the parties negotiated the transfer of the site for the construction of Zvenigorodsky to Russian Capital, but it was not possible to reach an agreement. Now in the “Russian capital” indicate that in the framework of the bankruptcy procedure, foreclosure on the specified property is impossible. “The property or rights to it can be realized at the bidding in the framework of the insolvency process,” the representative of the bank explained.
New projects
Family members of Maxim Blazhko participate in his other projects, in particular on the construction of the residential complex "Neskuchny Home & Spa" in the 5th Donskoy passage. The building permit for this facility is issued by Stroy-complex LLC. According to Kartoteka.ru, the main owner of this company is Kompleks-Stroy LLC, one of the founders of which is Soling LLC, and Yury Genbachev was the general director of this company. As follows from the court materials, in 2007 Soling borrowed funds from Svyaz-Bank for the construction of Neskuchny, other borrowers under the project were LLC Diorit LLC, which controls this company, and LLC Soling LLC, which established it and is controlled by LLC Soling Center for Analytical Projects. ” In 2012, VEB's controlling Svyaz-Bank filed a lawsuit against Soling and the acting guarantors of the loan to LLC Complex-Stroy, LLC Stroy-complex and Asol CJSC. The bank estimated the total amount of claims at 8.3 billion rubles.
In 2012, VEB entered into an amicable agreement with a pool of these companies on debt restructuring; in March 2016, an additional agreement was concluded thereto. According to the latest text of these agreements, the total debt of LLC Soling to the bank was estimated at 5.59 billion rubles. In this case, the bank should have Mr. Blazhko’s personal property in the amount of at least 3 billion rubles, which he should have pledged to VEB before July 1 of this year, including 100% of Gorn LLC, 100% of Soling LLC, 99.95% of Complex-Stroy LLC, 34% of Asol CJSC, two land plots in the 5th Donskoy proezd with a total area of \u200b\u200b4.9 hectares, the cadastral value of which, according to the public cadastral map, is 4.47 billion rubles. VEB explained to Kommersant that now the situation with this debt is being analyzed, and based on the results of this work, the bank will make a decision in the future.
The managing partner of Metrium Group, Maria Litinetskaya, says that home sales in the Neskuchny Home & SPA project have been going on since the end of last year, in total the company managed to sell 30 apartments, which is 11% of the supply originally put up for sale by the developer. According to her calculations, the average purchase budget in Neskuchny is 29.5 million rubles, the price of housing sold is 307 thousand rubles. for 1 square. m
Personal debts
Another problem of Maxim Blazhko is personal debt. Since the beginning of 2017, the Khoroshevsky District Court of Moscow partially satisfied three claims from JSC “IC“ Donstroy ”and LLC“ Beleran ”totaling 1.8 billion rubles. In total, four lawsuits were filed against these companies, as well as from Settlement Organizational Council of Euroinvest LLC and Asol JSC, against Mr Blazhko. All four legal entities were previously controlled by Don-Stroy Invest. This company refrained from commenting. Now the ultimate beneficiaries of Don-Stroy Invest are not disclosed, the company is associated with VTB.
As Kommersant’s interlocutors previously stated, it’s precisely the difficult relationship with VTB structures that has now become the cause of litigation in the Khoroshevsky court. According to the interlocutor of Kommersant, all the financial obligations of Mr. Blazhko to IC Donstroy, Beleran and Asolyu came at a time when he still controlled these companies. For a long time, the parties negotiated on the settlement of all these debts, but failed to reach an agreement.
Claims personally to Maxim Blazhko also have "Russian capital". According to a bank representative, a financial institution filed lawsuits against the businessman for a total of 499.5 million rubles. under five surety agreements concluded to ensure the fulfillment of credit obligations of River Tower LLC. Mr. Blazhko filed five counterclaims against Russian Capital. In October 2016, the bank filed for the bankruptcy of Maxim Blazhko, but in January of this year, the proceedings were terminated.
Debt collection from the borrower in person is as effective as from legal entities, says Pavel Gerasimov, partner at Padva & Epstein Law Bureau. “The question is whether the debtor will return what the court will approve to recover from another plane,” he recalls, adding that the debtor who does not want to pay or does not agree with the claims may resort to personal bankruptcy. According to him, in the proceedings of Mr. Blazhko in the Khoroshevsky court, the likelihood of such a scenario is high.
All current debts of Maxim Blazhko, in fact, arose on loans received before the crisis of 2008-2009. He could partially repay them if he had preserved the sites where housing would be built with a high degree of readiness, said Irina Dobrokhotova, head of the Best-Newbuilding board of directors. She recalls that during the current crisis in Moscow, apartments were sold better than offices. But it was residential projects in the framework of the debt restructuring Don Story that VTB took to itself in 2009. The situation could have been saved by the start of housing construction in the Ruze near Moscow, Ms Dobrokhotova said. But here Maxim Blazhko was not lucky: according to a Kommersant source familiar with the preparation of the project, while the businessman coordinated the transfer of land in Ruza for residential development, the legislation changed, and in the end he would have to re-register the plots again, which could take from three to five years.

As Kommersant learned, the TFR and the FSB dealt with a loan of $ 275 million in just a couple of days, which the founder of Don Stroy Maxim Blazhko, who owns a number of large real estate objects, for several years did not return Sberbank, and then bought the right to claim it, the Cyprus offshore Riverstretch Trading & Investments Ltd. Immediately after Mr. Blazhko was under house arrest, his representatives entered into an amicable agreement with a creditor who received one of the assets of the suspect on account of the debt - the shopping and entertainment complex (TRK) Shchuka in northwestern Moscow.
Criminal case under Part 2 of Art. 201 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (abuse of power) in relation to Maxim Blazhko, the Main Investigative Department (GSU) of the Investigative Committee instituted on October 20. The basis for this was a statement by Riverstretch Trading & Investments Ltd representatives and an audit conducted by the FSB.
As follows from the plot of the case, in 2011, Shchuka CJSC headed by Maxim Blazhko took a loan from Sberbank in the amount of $ 275 million. According to the terms of the agreement, the borrower was required to submit quarterly financial statements to the lender and transfer 80% of payments under all lease agreements to his account Broadcasting Company "Pike".
However, according to the Main Investigations Directorate of the Investigative Committee, in October 2015, Mr. Blazhko instructed his employees to stop paying to Sberbank. Instead, allegedly by his order, the money from the lease of premises of the Shchuka shopping and entertainment complex began to go to the accounts of Shchuka CJSC opened with other credit institutions. In December 2015, Sberbank transferred the right to claim debt to the Cyprus offshore Riverstretch Trading & Investments Ltd, which allegedly acts in the interests of Rosneft.
[Vedomosti.ru, 07/31/2017, "The creditor of the SC" Pike "wants to receive payments instead of the owner": Blazhko became aware last year that RT&I is a creditor. Sberbank transferred to her the obligations of the businessman’s structures by approximately $ 480 million, “Pike” and the business center “Nordstar Tower” were collateral, sources close to the deal said then.
Who is behind RT&I is not exactly known. Loans were bought by the Rosneft structure, said Maxim Poletaev, first deputy chairman of the board of Sberbank in 2016, and confirmed by three consultants working with Blazhko’s assets. Rosneft did not confirm this. On Friday, July 28, her representative declined to comment. Blazhko told Kommersant that RT&I has no connection with Rosneft.
RT&I may be associated with the Region group of companies, RBC reported in 2016. The group participated in the structuring of the debt transaction, but the transaction was not in its interests, the representative of the Vedomosti group said.
The card of the Concord business center is indicated on the card of the Russian representative office of RT&I in SPARK-Interfax as its website. It belonged to UFG Real Estate, but at the end of 2015, three consultants said that the complex was bought by the structure of the Region group. From the report of the RAEX rating agency, it followed then that the bonds secured by lease payments, including Concord, were acquired by the Rosneft pension fund, Neftegarant, managed by the Region Management Company. - Box K.ru]
[Vedomosti.Ru, 10.29.2017, “The founder of Donstroy Maxim Blazhko was placed under house arrest”: Rosneft itself did not confirm its relationship with Riverstretch Trading & Investments. RBC earlier, citing data from the Cypriot registry, concluded that the beneficiary of this company is the Region Group, which manages the Rosneft pension fund. The representative of the Region Group of Companies then told Vedomosti that the group only took part in structuring the deal with the debt, but the deal was not in its interests. - Box K.ru]
In the actions of Maxim Blazhko, the investigation saw “abuse of authority contrary to the legitimate interests of the organization he heads in order to extract benefits and advantages for himself and harm the rights and legitimate interests of Riverstretch Trading & Investments Ltd”. The latter, according to investigations, caused damage of at least $ 299 million, or 17.4 billion rubles.
It took the FSB officers who provided operational support in this case only four days to establish the suspect. Last Tuesday, the founder of Don-Stroy and the general director of ZAO Schuka Maxim Blazhko was first summoned for interrogation to Technical Lane, where the central office of the Investigative Committee is located, after which they were immediately detained.
On October 26, the investigator appealed to the Basmanny District Court with a request for the detention of Maxim Blazhko under house arrest. During the trial, a representative of the Prosecutor General's Office objected to such a preventive measure, stating that this case is about civil law relations. Nevertheless, the court sided with the investigation, sending Maxim Blazhko under house arrest for two months, which he is serving in his Moscow apartment. The court forbade him to leave his place of residence without the written permission of the investigator, to receive and send correspondence, to use communication facilities and the Internet, except for calling emergency services. To control the movements of Maxim Blazhko, officers of the FSIN put an electronic bracelet on him.
The senior partner of the Yukov & Partners Bar Association, representing Mr. Blazhko, told Mikhail Kommersant that, like the prosecutor, he sees no reason for criminal prosecution of his client in this case. “There was a civil dispute over the amount of the debt and the procedure for its repayment. Moreover, it has already been settled, and the applicant withdrew the civil lawsuit filed in the framework of the criminal case, ”Mr Voronin said. According to him, after the arrest of the client, the parties signed an agreement according to which the building of the Shchuka shopping and entertainment complex (total area of \u200b\u200b100 thousand square meters) was transferred to the creditor as a compensation. It should be noted that in 2009 and 2013, Mr. Blazhko tried to sell Shchuk shopping mall for $ 344 million and $ 450 million, respectively, but he did not find buyers.
In TRK, information about the world “Kommersant” was confirmed, adding that Riverstretch Trading & Investments Ltd acknowledged that it has no complaints against Mr. Blazhko. Kommersant failed to promptly receive comments from the offshore company and Rosneft.
As Kommersant had already said, the conflict between the structures of Rosneft and Maxim Blazhko arose several months before the Cypriots bought the debt from Sberbank. Its essence was that the company TNK-BP, a subsidiary of Rosneft, rented 37.7 thousand square meters. m in the business center owned by Mr. Blazhko Nordstar Tower on Begovaya Street in Moscow, tried to achieve changes in rental conditions. The fact is that the agreement between the parties was concluded in dollars, and settlements were carried out in rubles. However, in 2015, due to a sharp drop in the ruble exchange rate, the rental cost almost doubled - the area in the Nordstar Tower at that time was almost the most expensive in Moscow. Attempts by oil industry workers to reduce rents and convert payments into rubles were unsuccessful then.
Note that today, one of the founders of the Don-Stroy development group, Maxim Blazhko, in addition to paying for the debts of the Shchuk shopping center and the Nordstar Tower business center (147.8 thousand sq. M.), Is trying to build a multifunctional complex on Zvenigorodsky a highway under which a loan of 5 billion rubles was taken from Russian Capital Bank, and a complex of residential skyscrapers of the premium class Neskuchny Home & Spa in 5th Donskoy passage. A loan was taken from VEB for its implementation. Debt to the bank is 5.59 billion rubles. The total debt of Mr. Blazhko's companies is about 60 billion rubles, and all of his assets are pledged to creditors.
