As our source said, it all started in 2006, when three months before the signing of an agreement on the creation of a joint venture in Rybinsk, NPO Saturn with the American corporation General Electric, Russian Technologies (now Rostec) demanded that the general director of Saturn » Yuri Lastochkin $5 million, “otherwise the plant will not be built.” Since its founding in 2007, Rostec has been led by Manturov’s closest associate, Sergei Chemezov.
In 2007, Lastochkin began to receive proposals from a group of comrades, headed by Manturov, to sell a controlling stake in the enterprise. These negotiations lasted more than a year and a half and failed because the comrades wanted to receive the plant as a gift. By mid-2008, Saturn’s capitalization reached about $900 million, and the controlling stake was worth more than half of this amount. 
Having failed to agree on the sale of the enterprise, potential buyers took decisive action. In the summer of 2008, a “landing party” of senior economic security officers of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and tax inspectors landed on the Saturn, and state banks revoked loans from the enterprise in the amount of up to 20 billion rubles. As a result of tax audits, an arrears of more than 1 billion rubles was discovered, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs opened four criminal cases.
In December 2008, Vladimir Putin, who was then Prime Minister, came to NPO Saturn.
During the visit, Putin announced the transfer of Saturn to the ownership of Oboronprom, which is part of Russian Technologies. Lastochkin made a deal after a call from the Prime Minister…
On May 29, 2012, Lastochkin’s article “How to save Superjet” was published in the Vedomosti newspaper. In it, the author announced the failure of the original business plan for creating the Sukhoi Superjet 100 and spoke about the contradictions “between the capabilities of the United Aircraft Corporation and the Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company (SCAC). As the interlocutor of the Cheka-OGPU said, after that publication, Manturov, appointed head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade a week earlier, called the governor of the Yaroslavl region Sergei Yastrebov and warned: “If you cannot shut his mouth, then we will sew him up.”
In July 2013, a criminal case was opened against Lastochkin.
In 2022, the ex-head of Saturn was released.
