Dossier:

The General Director of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine (MMK), Viktor Rashnikov, was in the center of the scandal launched in the Russian Internet. The scandal started with the opening of the Magnetic Claw website, which contains documents compromising the management of the enterprise.

In particular, the creators of the site argue that the plant’s work was made dependent on a system of 39 intermediary firms created with the participation of V. Rashnikov and his deputies.

The magnetic claw, referring to the data of the Federal Tax Police Service for the Chelyabinsk region, claims that only in 1997 settlements with intermediaries led to the loss of $ 50 million by the combine.

What are they spoiling their daughters? Chocolate, cosmetics, a suit, a fur coat. Whom that allows a purse. Viktor Filippovich’s purse approved the gift of the daughter of three apartments in the center of Magnitogorsk. And, the last two fell on fragile girl’s shoulders one after another. The first Olga Rashnikova got on December 6, 1998. But, having consulted with a purse, Victor Filippovich decided not to stint and on December 7, 1998 he presented the daughter with another apartment. Thus, Olga Viktorovna became the mistress of apartments No. 94, 95 and 96 in house No. 24 on Naberezhnaya Street Magnitogorsk with a total area of ​​210 meters.

Another would be the dad after such gifts for a long time he disappeared, but not the father-director of MMK. December 23, 1998 three Magnitogorsk apartments are exchanged for 1 Moscow, a total area of ​​232 square meters. In this case, a discrepancy between the market value of an apartment on Tverskaya Street and the indicative price of apartments in Magnitogorsk is striking. About the apartment on Tverskaya is known that on June 10, 1997 it was purchased from JSC "Mospromstroy" LLC "Dargus Litz" for $ 744,320 (3200 per meter).

On November 26 of the same year, another notarial document was published, according to which Evgeniy Semenets, a resident of Magnitogorsk, became the owner of the apartment. At the same time it is said that the cost of the apartment was paid for by LLC "Dargus Litz". The unprecedented generosity of LLC "Dergus litz" was contagious. And in December 1998, Yevgeny Semenets himself makes a broad gesture towards his countrywoman Olga Rashnikova.

In the barter agreement with Rashnikova apartment on Tverskaya was estimated at 1 million 929 thousand rubles (according to the inventory value). And this is after the August crisis, when the dollar was worth about 20 rubles. A three Magnitogorsk apartments Olga Rashnikova estimated only 400 thousand rubles cheaper and honestly committed to pay the difference to Seventh.

Suppose that the whole chain with the acquisition and subsequent exchange of prestigious real estate was planned for a specific person. Such a complicated scheme can be explained by the reluctance to "shine" real incomes, especially if these incomes are received not quite legally. Another option is also possible — some firm has decided to thank the right person in this way, who has given her some kindness. Real estate is often featured in high-profile scandals as a veiled bribe.

Everything is confusing, and only experts from the competent authorities will be able to understand these schemes. At the moment, one thing is clear: twenty-one-year-old resident of Magnitogorsk Olga Rashnikova became a real Muscovite. And in her property was a huge five-room apartment in the center of Moscow, the approximate real price of which is 700 thousand US dollars.

RIA-Novosti, January 12, 2000

The name of Viktor Rashnikov was associated with the scandal in 1997, when he and his childhood friend, chairman of the board of directors of MMK Rashit Sharipov, removed the director of MMK Anatoly Starikov. Sharipov, being the head of the FIG "Magnitogorsk Steel" (established by Starikov as a holding structure controlling Magnitogorsk shares and controlled by Magnitogorsk) owned at that time 30% of MMK shares and wanted to gain full control over the enterprise, for which it was necessary to displace Starikov. Soon there was a favorable situation for Sharipov: Starikov tried to take a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development for the strategic development of MMK. Sharipov, Rashnikov and JSB Inkombank presented to the shareholders the situation in the unfavorable light for Starkov, accused him of violating the interests of the plant and made it shift. Victor Rashnikov became the new general director of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine.

But appetites grow with eating. And it seemed to Rashnikov insufficient to steal only the enterprise. At the moment, you can talk about how he and his administration are stealing every (!) Employee of the plant. The fact is that the company introduced a special procedure for payment of labor, in which employees receive only half of their wages in cash, and the second half comes in the form of cards for the purchase in the network of department stores of OJSC Klass !.

OJSC with such a life-affirming name belongs to 13 stores. In all these stores, trade is conducted on cards. The prices for goods in them are much higher than in other outlets in Magnitogorsk. Nevertheless, a person who received a salary cards, is forced to go shopping in one of these 13 ill-fated stores. Employees MMK are deprived possibility to choose shop for the purchases. Imposed cards, the store is imposed, an assortment of goods is imposed, the price is imposed for it. Revenues from the sale of the "Class!" Network are scrolled through the "Cubank". Needless to say, that in the list of founders of OJSC "Klass!" And "Kubanka" is still the same painfully familiar surname — Rashnikov. In addition to her, it was interesting among the founders to find another name — the son of the Mayor of Magnitogorsk V.G. Anikushin.

At the end of the 1990s, the entire block of shares of MMK was divided between several owners: the state, the administration of the enterprise, the FIG Magnitogorsk Steel, some industry enterprises and workers. Subsequently, shares at cheap prices were bought from the employees of the enterprise. The purchase was carried out by front companies, which established the management of MMK, in particular Rashnikov, and authorized capital of which was paid for by MMK shares. Rashnikov attempted to seize a 30% stake in the FIG Magnitogorsk Steel. He was supported by the Minister of Industry and Energy Viktor Khristenko, who at that time was the Chelyabinsk region’s vice-governor for economy, in fact controlled the state stake in MMK (23%) on behalf of the state and covered the scams of MMK management. To obtain the remaining 30% stake in the FIG, Rashnikov and MMK management created a pre-failure plan for the construction at MMK Stana 2000. Under construction in the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development was taken a loan, which lobbied Khristenko. Because of the loan, a split began between the chairman of the MMK board of directors and the general director of the FIG, Sharipov and Viktor Rashnikov, who was the general director of MMK. Sharipov opposed the bonded loan, which was secured by a 30% stake in the FIG. Realizing that it is impossible to return the loan, Sharipov wrote off shares of MMK in favor of companies controlled by entrepreneur Iskander Makhmudov. Rashnikov through the court recognized the transactions as insignificant — Anatoly Bragin, the prosecutor of the Chelyabinsk region, also helped him in this. In relation to Sharipov, a criminal case was instituted on charges of fraud. Later, A-capital became the nominal holder of a 30% stake in the FIG.

In May 2002, Rashnikov tried to pass through the board of directors amendments to the mill’s charter, reinforcing the MMK management’s position. The amendments provided for the issue of an additional share issue and the possibility of converting preferred shares into voting shares. However, the state and South Kuzbass, whose shares in MMK as a result of this additional share issue could be blurred, consolidated their voices and blocked the initiative of Rashnikov.

In August 2002, OJSC "Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works" issued consolidated financial statements according to international standards. The document said that some members of the family of Viktor Rashnikov have a serious financial interest in ZAO Profit, which provided 85% of the scrap supply to the plant. Only in 2001 the plant purchased a scrap at $ 63 million from Profit.

The name of Rashnikov is often mentioned in connection with the Minister of Industry and Energy Viktor Khristenko. According to the media, it is known that Viktor Khristenko owns a large stake in MMK. In the auction for the sale of the state-owned stake in MMK in December 2004, Viktor Khristenko and Viktor Rashnikov through third parties acted as the buyer of this stake.

Kommersant No. 172 (3256), September 14, 2005

Rashnikov’s name did not come off the newspaper pages in 2005, when an auction was held to sell the state stake in MMK. The auction was attended by MMK management, steel group Mechel, which owned about 17% of MMK shares, Novolipetsk Steel and others. As a result, the auction for the sale of the state block of shares of the combine won UFGIS Structured Holdings, buying a package at a starting price of $ 790 million, and another company of the UFG group — UFGIS Trading Ltd repurchased the Mechel package for $ 780 million. Mechel received another $ 90 million as compensation for refusing any claims to management and shareholders of Magnitogorsk. Companies that bought the state stake acted in the interests of Rashnikov.

Rashnikov’s name sounded in the press in early 2007, when the data of the FSFR reports were made public. Based on the documents, it turned out that Rashnikov and MMK key managers do not have any shares in the combine. In October 2006, 20.71% of MMK’s shares were managed by the Settlement and Stock Center, 42.27% in the management of OOO Mekom, 33.93% from UFG Structured Holdings Ltd. The reports submitted to the FSFM indicate that Steelnet Investment Management SA in 2002 became a shareholder of CJSC A-Capital, which in April 2003 owned 22.30% of MMK shares. Among the main partners of Rashnikov at the time was Andrei Morozov, the vice-president of the company that manages MMK.

Vedomosti No. 16 (1790), January 31, 2007

In 2007, MMK fell into the sphere of interests of Rosoboronexport. FSUE Rosoboronexport planned to build a holding of special steels and MMK was to pass under the control of ZAO Russpetsstal. One of the forms of interaction was a private-public partnership. But MMK had a strong lobby in the person of the head of the Ministry of Industry and Energy Viktor Khristenko, and he was able to refuse the offer to enter into a public-private partnership with Russpetsstal. With the help of Khristenko Rashnikov managed to evade transactions with Gazmetall Alisher Usmanov and Evrazgrupp.

Rashnikov, along with Alexei Mordashov (Severstal), lobbied for amendments to the Tax Code, according to which the sale of ferrous scraps was subject to VAT. The scrap pickers became the loser, the largest of which is the company of Victor Makushin "MAIR". In the Duma, Rashnikov’s interests were supported by MP Pavel Krasheninnikov.

On May 7, 2007, the reputation of Magnitka finally collapsed, the illustrious ordnonosnogo factory that became the property of a certain Victor Rashnikov. All Chelyabinsk region and the whole city of Magnitogorsk know how it was: according to the order of the company’s leadership, the police beat up veterans of labor who gave this enterprise 50- 30 years.

The group of factory pensioners, who took the shares of the enterprise for trust management and did not return, since 2005 regularly went to pickets with demands to return to them their only fortune earned for 50 and 40 and 30 years of work in the hot shops of this harmful production. There were a lot of shares, and now they are expensive. Enough for quiet old age and raise grandchildren.

Dividends to grandfathers and grandmothers were not paid for many years. And then they said that the shares were sold to the side. They were informed about it by letters from a certain ZAO Mecom in 2005. Having received such letters, the veterans became agitated, went to find out the truth and found out that they were victims of fraud of the top management of Magnitogorsk. In order to seize the shares of veterans who submitted documents to trust management, their signatures on transfer documents were forged, and the securities themselves were allegedly donated to someone for free.

Since 2005, the year the veterans, an independent investigation of fraud in stocks, the work, which had to spend the Investigatory Committee, police and prosecutors at all levels. And find out what actions the higher ranks of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel fall under Art. 159th. This is a fraud. Definitely. However, as told to veterans, Art. 159 Part 1 (mild), the statute of limitations has already expired fraud, and it makes no sense to get criminal case. Law enforcement authorities denied the elderly. And it is absolutely not because the act of limitations has expired. And part of the first under the offense does not fit — here part4, heavy, for it gives 10 years. Everything is much worse and Magnitogorsk, Chelyabinsk, and believe that the owner of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine Viktor Rashnikov (85.55% of shares in the property, $ 400 million of dividends only in the 2007th year, a solid 14th place in the Forbes list of billionaires ) — is a person go into the most important offices of the country. Legends about this subject on the field intentionally. "Kremlin" can cover everything. Even the theft of other people’s actions.

So it is unclear how the "real" Vladimir Filippovich in the Internet network.

Rumor has it that Olga Rashnikova now — an independent lady. With her husband, Iley Melnikovym, such as a split. An indirect confirmation of this is the fact that just over a year ago, Melnikov was removed from his post as director of MMK trading house.

But Olga Rashnikova, a month before the resignation of her husband’s appointment of the Director of Finance plant continued to operate. As a result, rumors about the sale of MMK subsided.
