Important changes in the field of road construction in St. Petersburg could go unnoticed, but the Cheka-OGPU will not be able to pass by. If a new multibillion-dollar contractor appears in the established sphere of government contracts of some structure (for example, the St. Petersburg Directorate of Transport Construction (hereinafter referred to as “DTS”)), this will inevitably not go unnoticed by the controlling structures (including, of course, the relevant security officials). But all this will look completely different if the beneficiary of a long-familiar and understandable company imperceptibly changes. Read – one technical denomination will be replaced by another, and the legal entity will continue to receive budget billions in the same way as before.
We are lifting the curtain – in the near future the ownership structure of SK Orion Plus LLC (hereinafter referred to as Orion), a serious road contractor in St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod with government orders worth about 76 billion rubles, will change. Initially, the company belonged to businessman Alexander Usov, who, as the media have repeatedly written, has friendly family ties with the former Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Anatoly Serdyukov. But after the well-known story, the influence of the latter weakened, and the tax, as well as the economic police and the FSB, began to show great interest in Usov’s business. The problems were resolved in an understandable way, and in 2018 the company was re-registered in the Leningrad region.
But by this time, Usov was already tired and realized that it was time to “get on his skis” (fortunately, a real palace had been waiting for him for a long time in sunny Italy). He left, handing over the business to relatives, and began to squeeze every last penny out of Orion, withdrawing funds abroad. As a result, despite decent figures for 2022 (9.4 billion in turnover, 162 million in net profit), Orion entered 2023 with difficulties and serious debts due to informal agreements with officials (the so-called “homework”).
And then a group of officials, led by Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Andrei Kostyuk, decided to take the Orion Plus into their road clip. As a result, at the end of last year, Orion Plus became the property of Konstantin Sizikov. Of course, a 50-year-old businessman who bought a three-year-old BMWX5 30D and is registered in a small suburban house would not be able to afford this even close. He is just a technical character from the sphere of interests of this group of officials. Without having data on the price of the transaction, we will only say that due to the friction that arose, Usov was forced to cede Orion at a significant discount.
However, after the transaction, during an audit, it became clear that the real financial condition of Orion is not nearly as good as Usov promised. The icing on the cake was the emergence of interest in the company’s activities among the economic police and the Federal Tax Service (the cash-out schemes used by Usov were never distinguished by their sophistication). So in the near future we expect another change in the technical owner of this company, which, of course, we will inform our readers about.
