Charity event “Let's help you get ready for the school ball! Talented Mr. Shemmedov.
Transparency International has linked the construction of the residential complex “On Ivanovskaya” near Dubki Park in the north of Moscow to the vice-mayor for construction Marat Khusnullin, the organization’s investigation was published on its website.
According to TI, Khusnullin has business connections with the people who organized construction on the territory of the park. It was possible to build on the site only kindergarten, but then the company “Residential Complex “On Ivanovskaya”” received it for rent.
The owner of the Tsentrograd company, which received the right to the site, was 24-year-old Maksat Shemmedov, whom TI associates with Khusnullin.
“Maksat Shemmedov’s sister Kristina Orazovna Minnikhanova changed her last name after marriage. Christina Orazovna's wife's name is Ildus Minnikhanov. In 2011, he received the status of adviser to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow in the Moscow Government, Marat Shakirzyanovich Khusnullin, who is responsible for Moscow urban planning policy and construction,” the investigation says.
Thus, Khusnullin and his adviser Minnikhanov have a close relationship, which is confirmed by the latter’s status as an adviser to the deputy mayor and participation in joint business projects with the family of the deputy mayor of Moscow.
The organization explained that Khusnullin actually heads the Urban Planning and Land Commission (GZK) - formally an advisory body. It was the GZK that made it possible to change the target direction of the site.
“We believe that in the situation we are considering, Marat Shakirzyanovich Khusnullin and Ildus Zamilevich Minnikhanov are bound by obvious obligations. In accordance with the Law “On Anti-Corruption”, a conflict of interest is understood as a situation in which the personal interest (direct or indirect) of a person holding a public position of a subject Russian Federation influences or may influence the proper, objective and impartial performance of his official duties. This person is obliged to notify of the occurrence of a conflict of interest or the possibility of its occurrence and to take measures to prevent any possibility of a conflict of interest arising as soon as he becomes aware of it.
If this information is confirmed, Deputy Mayor of Moscow in the Moscow Government for urban planning policy and construction, Marat Shakirzyanovich Khusnullin, should be dismissed from his post due to loss of trust,” conclude the authors of the investigation.
The conflict around Dubki Park has been ongoing since March of this year, with local residents opposing the construction of a residential complex. Police and security have repeatedly attacked protesters.
On March 21-26, the KHAN brand presented the Elemento Terra collection for the fall-winter 2018 season as part of Moscow Fashion Week in Gostiny Dvor.
The name appeared for a reason - it fully corresponds to both the brand concept and the trends of the new season. “Nowadays a lot of attention is paid to ecology,” says designer Kristina Minnikhanova. - This burning issue worries me too. In my collection I decided to show all the beauty of the Earth. This is a kind of call to the fact that we must be more careful and attentive to our planet and its resources.”
The idea is relayed through the mythical character of the Dragon - the wise keeper of the secrets of the universe and the ruler of the riches of the earth's bowels. The designer used his image not only in decorative elements, embroidery and applique, but also in the stylization of models, the choice of colors and materials.
The collection was created at the intersection of the cultures of the West and the East, which gives it a special ultra-fashionable sound. Classical pantsuit from brocade, evening dress, decorated with rhinestones resembling scattering precious stones, bomber jacket and shorts made of lace decorated with sequins - European traditions high fashion and the precision of the silhouette lines are organically combined with the oriental luxury of fabrics and decoration. Trendy accents are placed on items created using ethnic motives and patchwork techniques.
Sports chic or romance, classic or ethno - all the must-haves of the next season were presented in the KHAN showroom. Semi-fitting silhouettes, soft and graceful, with an emphasis on the waistline and geometric a-line silhouettes, cozy cashmere coats with beading and patchwork sweatshirt coats, cocktail dresses and men's shirts made of organza instead of the usual jacket. According to the designer, winter is a great time to create a spectacular unique style and express femininity.
The color scheme is based on a combination of calm colors: black, brown, khaki, beige with active ones: green and blue. The color palette of the coming autumn-winter will be complemented by splashes of shimmering gold.
On March 22, the brand also took part in the “School fashion look - 2017” show as part of the charity event “Let’s help prepare for the school ball!”, held by the Department of Labor and social protection population of the city of Moscow. Designer Kristina Minnikhanova created five bright images For prom. For them she chose noble materials: velvet, silk and lace. One of the dresses shown on the catwalk at Moscow Fashion Week was donated to the campaign fund.

“Construction team” by Khusnullin. How managers from Tatarstan took Moscow
Key positions in the Moscow construction complex were occupied by associates of the capital's vice-mayor Marat Khusnullin, who followed him from Tatarstan. Life conducted its own investigation and found out how the “vice mayor’s team” uses the budget allocated for renovation.
About eight thousand residential buildings may fall under the new program for the demolition of five-story buildings in Moscow. The resettlement of residents of the demolished Khrushchev buildings - about 1.6 million people - only according to preliminary estimates, will cost 3.5 trillion rubles.

In areas of Moscow remote from the center, the area of parks and recreation areas is rapidly decreasing. According to State Duma deputy Vladimir Gutenev, from 2000 to 2015, the area of green space in Moscow decreased by 678 hectares. Local residents often protest against park development.
In June 2016, representatives of the initiative group “Save Dubki Park” contacted us: citizens were against the construction of an apartment building on Ivanovskaya Street. According to the plan, the residential complex “On Ivanovskaya” should be built in the north of the capital in the Timiryazevsky district, on a site adjacent to Dubki Park. Apartments in a building that has not yet been built are already for sale. Park defenders suspected the developers of a corruption conspiracy and asked us to conduct our own investigation.

In June 2016, representatives of the initiative group “Save Dubki Park” contacted us: citizens were against the construction of an apartment building on Ivanovskaya Street. According to the plan, the residential complex “On Ivanovskaya” should be built in the north of the capital in the Timiryazevsky district, on a site adjacent to Dubki Park. Apartments in a building that has not yet been built are already for sale. Park defenders suspected the developers of a corruption conspiracy and asked us to conduct our own investigation.
What are the defenders of Dubkov fighting for?
Park defenders draw attention to massive violations during the development of the territory by the developer, LLC “Residential Complex “On Ivanovskaya”” (hereinafter referred to as “Residential Complex “On Ivanovskaya”): an illegally issued urban planning plan for the land plot (GPZU), a building permit, as well as illegal cutting of trees without logging tickets.Land for a kindergarten
We figured out what was happening to a plot of land on Ivanovskaya Street.In 2002, the Moscow Land Committee gave this plot of land to a kindergarten for 25 years. And in 2011, the Department of Land Resources concluded additional agreement to the lease agreement: according to this agreement, from September 30, 2010, the rights and obligations under the agreement passed to the “Residential Complex “On Ivanovskaya”. The agreement established that the land plot was provided to the developer without the right to change its functional purpose (operation of a children's institution).
In other words, when the “Residential Complex “On Ivanovskaya” received the site, nothing but nurseries and kindergartens could be built on it. This met the needs of residents: even the mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin He said that the city does not have enough places in kindergartens, and new ones need to be built.

Let's tell you everything in order. On June 4, 2015, the founders of the Residential Complex on Ivanovskaya include the offshore Nordnet Holdings Limited, Tsentrograd LLC and Lyubov Yuryevna Tsvetkova. Just 11 days after this, on June 15, 2015, the residential complex Na Ivanovskaya applied to the Moscow Government with a statement to change the purpose of providing a plot of land on Ivanovskaya. And already on September 9, 2015, the Moscow City Property Department issued an order (pdf), according to which the purpose of providing a land plot changed from “provided for the implementation of educational activities” for “design and construction (reconstruction) of capital construction projects.” Thus, the department allowed the construction of a residential complex on the site of the kindergarten just two months after Tsentrograd LLC, the offshore company and Mrs. Tsvetkova became the founders of the development company.
Just a month later, on October 8, 2015, by order (pfd) of the Moscow Department of City Property, the Residential Complex on Ivanovskaya was granted an installment plan for rent of more than 420 million rubles for three years. Almost immediately after this, Tsentrograd LLC left the founders of the Na Ivanovskaya residential complex.
So, we found out that from June to November 2015, while Tsentrograd LLC was a co-founder of the Residential Complex on Ivanovskaya, a structural unit of the Moscow Government for some reason changed the purpose of the land plot, and also provided the developer with an installment plan to pay the rent. fees. It must be said that changing the intended purpose of a land plot from “conducting educational activities” to “design and construction (reconstruction) of capital construction projects” is a procedure close to impossible: the developer needs to convince the mayor’s office that instead of a socially significant kindergarten, it is necessary to build residential area. And the mayor’s office, taking into account the lack of kindergartens in Moscow, must agree with this incident.
To understand how the “Residential Complex “On Ivanovskaya”” managed to do this, we figured out the decision-making mechanism of the Moscow Government in the field of land use.
Super commission
In 2010, the Urban Planning and Land Commission (ULC) was created in the capital. Formally, the SLC is only an advisory body, but in reality it has very broad powers. The State Land Control Committee issues mandatory instructions to Moscow executive authorities on a weekly basis.It is on the basis of the decisions of the State Land Committee that all further land and urban planning documents are approved. Without it, you cannot obtain a construction permit or an order to change the purpose of providing the site. The commission does not publish its protocols, does not publicly report on the work done, with the exception of meager news items on the Moscow government website. Formally, the State Construction Committee is headed by Mayor Sobyanin, but actual preparation and decision-making is supervised by the Vice Mayor for Construction Marat Shakirzyanovich Khusnullin. [...]
We were surprised by the incredible speed of the commission’s work: on September 18, 2014, the State Land Committee met for a regular meeting, where it managed to consider 61 working issues in one hour. Among these issues was the decision to change the purpose of the land plot on Ivanovskaya Street, already known to us.
It seems doubtful that the chairman of the State Land Committee delved deeply into the essence of the issues discussed at the meeting. According to the information we have, it was Mr. Khusnullin and his subordinate, Chairman of the Committee on Architecture and Urban Planning Yuliana Vladimirovna Knyazhevskaya, who presented the investment project “Residential Complex on Ivanovskaya” at the State Land Committee meeting.
From the presentation it is clear that the developer already has plans for the neighboring site, where the Treasure Island kindergarten is still operating.

Local residents were extremely concerned about the possible cutting down of trees and the construction of a residential area in the green zone and began sending requests to the authorities.
The head of the Moscow construction department responded to a request from a municipal deputy that the construction of a residential complex is taking place as part of the implementation of an investment contract. There is confirmation of this on the website of the Unified Project Bank of the City of Moscow.
"Kindergartens are rarely used"
A unified project bank was created by the Moscow Investors Association, headed by Lyubov Yuryevna Tsvetkova, already known to us. The Investors Association actively cooperates with the Kazan team of the Moscow Government: they hold joint seminars and organize working groups for developers and investors. Under the auspices of Moskomstoinvest and with the personal approval of Vice-Mayor Khusnullin, the Association of Investors created the previously mentioned United Bank of Moscow Projects. |

On June 30, 2015, a development project near Dubki Park was posted on the website of the Project Bank, indicating the type of permitted use “residential development”.
The project bears the symbolic stamp “documentation verified by Moskomstroyinvest,” although in reality the order to change the purpose of providing the site for construction will only be received in two months. It can be argued that in June 2015, Lyubov Yuryevna was absolutely sure of the necessary change in the purpose of providing the land. At the same time, she had a direct interest in its implementation, since she was one of the owners of the development company.
Talented Mr. Shemmedov
The second founder of the Residential Complex on Ivanovskaya until November 2015 was Tsentrograd LLC. Until June 1, 2016, its sole owner was Maksat Shemmedov. Mr. Shemmedov is quite young and recently graduated from a higher educational institution. We were unable to detect significant income and large companies, the owner of which he could be. |

From June to November 2015, Tsentrograd LLC is included in the share of the authorized capital of the Residential Complex on Ivanovskaya in the amount of 15%.
During these few months, key events took place for the developer: he managed to change the purpose of the land plot and obtain an additional agreement to the land lease agreement. The developer also received a deferment of payment of 400 million rubles under the lease agreement for a three-year period.
Since the change in its intended purpose, the cadastral value of the land has tripled - from 145 to 517 million rubles.
Thus, at the time of the sale of Tsentrograd LLC its share in the authorized capital of the Residential Complex on Ivanovskaya, 15% of Maksat Shemmedov was worth approximately 77 million rubles. The actual amount of the transaction could have been significantly higher.
On a specialized website for investor-developers, it is indicated that the transaction price for the sale of the project “Residential Complex “On Ivanovskaya” after receiving permits for the project exceeds 1 billion 600 million rubles. In this case, the income of a 23-year-old entrepreneur could reach 240 million rubles.
How did a recent student manage to become the founder of a one and a half billion development project in the green zone of Moscow?
We assume that Mr. Shemmedov was only the nominal owner of the company “ZhK “Na Ivanovskoy” LLC through Tsentrograd LLC, and the real owners did not want their names to appear in this project. Paying tribute to the entrepreneurial success of Maksat Shemmedov, we paid attention to his relatives.
Maksat Shemmedov’s sister Kristina Orazovna Minnikhanova changed her last name after marriage.
Christina Orazovna's wife's name is Ildus Minnikhanov. In 2011, he received the status of adviser to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow in the Moscow Government, Marat Shakirzyanovich Khusnullin, who is responsible for Moscow urban planning policy and construction.
Marat Khusnullin made a career as an official in Tatarstan: from 2001 to 2010 he was the minister of construction, architecture and housing and communal services of the republic. At the end of 2010, Khusnullin was appointed deputy mayor of Moscow in the Moscow government for urban planning policy and construction, and since 2013 he became Sobyanin’s deputy for urban planning policy and construction.
Kazan period
We found out that Khusnullin and Minnikhanov have been connected by common interests since at least 2008.1 Ildus Minnikhanov was the general director of the companies Likada Group LLC and Kamsky Bereg LLC, owned by Khusnullin’s wife Liliya Nilyevna.
2 Liliya Khusnullina owned 100% of the shares of InvestPlus LLC, which invested money in the construction of the Ilmar-City hotel in Kazan. The owner of the hotel is OJSC “Business Medical Center”. Ildus Minnikhanov acted as the general director of this organization and served on its board of directors until his departure to Moscow in 2011. In 2012, he was replaced (doc) by his daughter Khusnullina Alina Maratovna.
3 Minnikhanov appeared as the sole founder of Mortgage Company of the Republic of Tatarstan LLC (now Prestizhparitet LLC), which owned 48.72% of the largest mortgage operator in Tatarstan, Mortgage Agency of the Republic of Tatarstan OJSC. Khusnullin was the chairman of the board of directors of this company.
4 The newspaper “Arguments and Facts” wrote that Minnikhanov acted as head of the organizational department in the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan, whose head was Khusnullin.
5 In February 2011, almost immediately after his appointment to the Moscow Government, Khusnullin issued an order appointing Minnikhanov as his adviser.
Marat Khusnullin and Ildus Minnikhanov have a long history of relationships and are connected not only by corporate, but also by personal connections, which may affect the performance of their official duties.
Legal basis
We believe that the Deputy Mayor of Moscow in the Moscow Government for urban planning policy and construction, Marat Shakirzyanovich Khusnullin, and his adviser Ildus Zamilevich Minnikhanov have a close relationship, which is confirmed by the latter having the status of adviser to the deputy mayor and participation in joint business projects with the family of the Deputy Mayor of Moscow . We believe that in the situation we are considering, Marat Shakirzyanovich Khusnullin and Ildus Zamilevich Minnikhanov are bound by obvious obligations. In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 10, pp. 1-2 tbsp. 11 and art. 13.1. Federal Law No. 273-FZ of December 25, 2008 “On Combating Corruption”, a conflict of interest is understood as a situation in which the personal interest (direct or indirect) of a person holding a public position in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation affects or may affect the proper, objective and impartial performance of his official duties responsibilities. This person is obliged to notify of a conflict of interest that has arisen or the possibility of its occurrence and to take measures to prevent any possibility of a conflict of interest arising as soon as he becomes aware of it. Considering the above, in this situation one can see an undeclared conflict of interest by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow in the Moscow Government, which is a violation of Federal Law No. 273-FZ of December 25, 2008 “On Combating Corruption.” If this information is confirmed, Deputy Mayor of Moscow in the Moscow Government for urban planning policy and construction, Marat Shakirzyanovich Khusnullin, should be dismissed from his post due to loss of confidence.
Ilya Shumanov
Deputy General Director of Transparency International - Russia
We assess this story as a rather complex example of a corporate conflict of interest for the Deputy Mayor of Moscow. An attempt to confuse the billion-dollar story by including a 23-year-old businessman who had not previously been involved in business in the scheme clearly signaled to us that there was a suspicious transaction. If we analyze all the investment contracts concluded by the Moscow Government, we can confidently say that there are more interesting examples of stories with corruption “indicators”. This is why investment contracts are not publicly available.
In this situation, one can discern a conflict of interest undeclared by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow, which is a violation of the Federal Law “On Combating Corruption.”
Conclusions
1 The value of the 15% share in the development company received by a relative of advisor Khusnullin was in monetary equivalent equal to 240 million rubles. These cash could have been used to ensure the solution Khusnullin needed for the developer in terms of concluding and ensuring the smooth implementation of the investment contract for the construction of the Timiryazev Park residential complex.2 The institution of advisers to heads of public authorities can be used for corrupt purposes. The activities of advisers are opaque and unaccountable to the public. At the same time, advisers influence government decision-making, avoiding responsibility for the implementation of these decisions.
3 The destruction of green areas and parks in Moscow in the interests of specific developers carries corruption risks. This situation requires an immediate response from the mayor of Moscow.
4 The institution of minion advisers to heads of public authorities can be used for corrupt purposes [...]
