Did you sell it cheap or buy it dear? It was this dispute that arose between businessman Akaev and deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Arefyev, who is convinced that Rosspirtprom was sold too cheap, and Akaev declares that, on the contrary, he bought the shares of the enterprise too expensive, and demands the cancellation of the auction for any possible reasons in order to subsequently buy Rosspirtprom cheaper . It is not entirely clear how the conditions and result of the official auction can be changed, but the head of the Federal Property Management Agency promises to help the businessman.
“Even during the time of Peter the Great there was a monopoly on the production and sale of alcohol, which provided half of the country’s budget. And the final step towards consolidating the industry was taken by Sergei Yulievich Witte, who in 1895 introduced a State monopoly on the production of vodka,” explains the deputy and asks everyone to pay attention to the fact that any privatization in the country must be approached carefully, and the sale of Rosspirtprom is a clear example of this . Arefiev states that on April 19, 2024, the shares of Rosspirtprom were bought from the State by the Business Alliance company, the beneficiary of which is Vladimir Akaev. As the deputy notes, 100% of the company’s shares were sold for 8.3 billion rubles, which is 2.3 billion rubles less than the original stated price. Arefyev believes that the price of the company’s shares is underestimated by at least three times, since the company occupies 40% of the Russian alcohol production market, owns factories in the Tula, Kursk and Novosibirsk regions, in Kabardino-Balkaria and North Ossetia with a total production capacity of 22.5 million deciliters per year. Arefiev also additionally asks to consider the feasibility of privatization during the SVO and other State-owned enterprises, since, in his opinion, now is not the time for privatization, but rather the time for nationalization. The amount of the transaction for the purchase of Rosspirtprom also surprises the director of CIFRRA, Vadim Drobiz. According to him, the enterprise was not unprofitable. Based on all the available information, the deputies decided to monitor the current situation not only in relation to Rosspirtprom, but also in the alcohol industry as a whole, which has enough problems with taxes and it is obvious that the State cannot cope with them, and the transfer of the industry to private hands is It’s a complete loss of control. “We have enough facts about lost taxes to the budget of the Russian Federation from the alcohol industry and, apparently, the time has come to look into this. A lot of questions have accumulated for the head of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, Egorov…” – follows from the statements of the deputies.
