The Irmast-Holding company that failed at the Oryol airport may be associated with the son of the former prosecutor general of the Russian Federation Artyom Chaika.
As reported The Moscow Postagainst the IRMAST-Holding NAO, a criminal case was instituted on the theft of the budget of more than 54 million rubles, which were allocated for the reconstruction of the Yuzhny Oryol Airport. The airport has not been completed, debts were formed before the budget and counterparties from the Irmast-Holding, and no wages were paid to builders.
The correspondent of The Moscow Post in the Oryol region understood the history.
As the main possible defendant, entrepreneur Sergei Nevsky was designated, who, in addition to the Irmast-Holding, was connected with the oil and gas business of Sergei Sudarikov and Igor Sechin, and in 2019 was placed in a pre-trial detention center on charges of giving a bribe. The case did not lead to anything then-it was closed behind the lack of corpus delicti, but the sediment remained, especially in the scandal, one of the structures of the Irmast-Holding appeared in the scandal.
Nevsky was also associated with the former head of the “Federal Air Transport Agency” by Sergey Neudko and supposedly through him received contracts for Irmast-Holding. For this reason, he immediately became the main object of interest in the investigation of this story, but she does not pump on this businessman.
Kurumoch airport
The partners of Sergei Nevsky, according to the Irmast Act LLC, were the brothers Leonid and Nikolai Kozlov in 2003. Gennady Kozlov today has been headed by IRMAST-M JSC, and the company itself has existed since 2001, and until 2022, the Invest Stroy Stroy Act LLC was among its founders, which, according to Rusprofile, was identified in 2003 by Irmast Act LLC. Partners seemed to be in no hurry to update the documents, because Irmast Act LLC had a successor in the person of Irmast Act CJSC, where Leonid Kozlov was already the leader.

According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the beneficiaries of CJSC “Irmast Act” are all the same – Sergey Nevsky, the Kozlov brothers, Valery Kulikov and Vladimir Popov, and through this structure it was the basis of a business related to airports. This structure, apparently, is the main owner of the IRMAST-Holding NAO, which came across the construction of the airport in Orel.
In 2011, Irmast-Holding became a contractor of the “Rosavia” for the construction of an aviation search and rescue center in the Samara region. The initial cost of the lot was 302 million rubles, but the company received in a row for 299 million rubles, although the competitor was ready to fulfill everything for 250 million rubles. Work on this facility took place at the Samara airport “Kurumoch”, where in 2010 “Irmast-Holding” already received contracts for reconstruction worth 1.5 billion rubles.
The airport was then prepared for the 2018 World Cup, but in 2017 it turned out that the Irmast-Holding is behind the schedule and performs work with a large amount of marriage. At the same time, it was drawn that a similar situation is on other objects “Irmast-Holding”. Rostekhnadzor filed a complaint with the court to apply a fine on a contractor.
The last days of “Irmast-Holding”
How, after such twists, Irmast-Holding continued to receive airport orders-this is a question that cannot be given a reasonable answer without accusations of corruption. Moreover, the business organization is cracking at the seams. In addition to direct waste of budget funds at the facility, there are salary debts. From October 2024 to January 2025, 44 builders did not receive 11.281 million rubles, according to this composition A criminal case has also been instituted.
Only workers can not wait for their money. At the beginning of 2025, the Yakut DRSU “SatTE” filed a court of bankruptcy of the IRMAST-HOLDING NAO. Also among the applicants are LLC “Lesodotorg”, PJSC “Moscow Credit Bank”, LLC “Specialized Developer City” and LLC “Intertrans”. The amount of claims is not indicated, but these events indicate that money has ended in this company. At the same time, the problems of Irmast-Holding began a long time ago. In 2024, the company fell into the register of unscrupulous suppliers due to the fact that she dodged the state contract after winning the competition. Usually, they are not selected from such crises and as a result the company bankrupt with scandals.
Partner Artyom Chaika
Since 2004, the second brother-in-Cholding brother Irmast-Holding has been served by the general director of the transport projects fund in Moscow, among the founders of which until 2018 was the International Congress of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs Artem Chaika.

Artem Chaika is the son of the former prosecutor general Yuri Chaika. One of the main and precisely the most scandalous asset was LLC “UK PNK”, from where the entrepreneur came out in July 2024, transferring it to Sergei Tsaryuk. The PNK Criminal Code controls the other former asset of the Seagull of PNK-Ural LLC, which constantly performs contracts for Russian Railways structures.
The business was developed for the money “Promsvyazbank” and is engaged in the extraction of construction stone, gypsum, chalk, limestone and shales. The division includes 15 crushed stone factories, and the business belongs to 75% The beneficiaries of the company.
Crushing stone business Russian Railways
According to the authors Berg-Press On the Livejournal, supposedly as part of the transaction on the PNK-Ural LLC, we are talking about a crushed stone factory in Berdyash, which was started only in 2008. In 2011, the Government of the Russian Federation signed a resolution on the sale of 75% of the shares of the enterprise, after which in 2012 the asset moved to the Berdyush NK Sergey Vilshenko, who, according to rumors, was close to the group of top managers of Russian Railways.
In 2014, Wilshenko sells business to Artyom Chaike for $ 80 million, but instead of money he receives a criminal case. The Prosecutor General’s Office in May 2018 approved the indictment against Wilshenko, according to which he was accused of embezzlement of 139.9 million rubles in the Berdyush NK. This document was signed by Deputy Prosecutor Grin, and the department itself was then headed by Yuri Chaika, who in this way helped to “expose corruption” at the son of his son. Vilshenko himself at that time already disappeared from the country and was accused of crimes in absentia.
So that no one has illusions, against Vilshenko, he soon opened the criminal case of the Investigative Committee of the Proceed of Russian Railways for 1.3 billion rubles. Asia-Trans was accused, which in 2012-2015 provided logistics services to a branch of Russian Railways-the Central Directorate for Return repair. In reality, she received money and withdrew them abroad through one-day companies, tearing off in this way bins of the homeland.
They paid attention to Vilshenko by accident. If the companies of Artem Chaika had not climbed into the Russian Railways business and did not share something with him, then the businessman still could continue to earn money there, and so he had to escape, although Father Vilshenko now has a business in Chelyabinsk.

The Prosecutor General’s Office in the middle of the zero took up the Russian Railways and, in addition to Wilshenko, succumbed to business Salman Babaev and Alexei Taikher, not allowing them to redeem the company “SG-Trans”. In 2018, Babaev, under the pressure of the control body, even flew off the post of vice president of Russian Railways, and the Taher was arrested in 2024 and now fell under great criminal paperwork.
All this is more reminiscent of a corporate war-for example, a competitor of the “Atlanta” of the Taiir for transportation in the wagons was the company “Muchi-Trans”, at that time belonging to Artyom Chaika at that time.
Seagulls on Athos
Artyom Chaika’s business was in the lens of media attention even when his father was the prosecutor general. Sometimes it came to absurd situations – Yuri Chaika said that the Orthodox person needs to go to holy places and charge there with positive energy. The business is good, but Yuri Chaika chose Athos for this, where his son Artem Chaika in 2014, together with his partners, opened a fashionable hotel with views on the famous mountain.
Why are the pilgrims a five-star hotel-a question, history because of this was like anti-church pamphlets Maxim Gorky. At the same time, Olga Lopatin, who was the ex -wife of deputy prosecutor Gennady Lopatin, had no income, was partner in Artyom Chaika for this business, and had no income before. The woman also managed to become a partner in the company “Sugar of the Kuban” to the wives of Sergei Tsapka and Vyacheslav Tseposy, who became known in bloody massacre and banditry in Kushchevka.
It is also interesting that Artem Chaika allegedly passed in Greek documents as a resident of Switzerland, and this status was helped by Ukrainian lawyer Bogdan Lisurenko. Events took place at the dawn of the Crimean campaign, but this is still remarkable cooperation.
Along with business actors, Artem Chaik has a difficult relationship with women. In 2022, the man married the deputy chief physician of the psychiatric clinical hospital, Julia Berseneva (the rumors hint that they could meet at a medical appointment). Before that The seagull divorced his wife Marinatook her daughter from her and started another child with an employee of PNK JSC Ivannaya Shcherbakova as a result of a business trip.
In 2022, Artem Chaika was an Orthodox businessman and father of five children. True, it is unclear whether he had a hotel on Athos, so necessary for lining sins. Including the debts of the Irmast-Holding to the budget, counterparties and employees.
