A Big Lover of Warm Countries and Luxury, Oligarch andrei Melnichenko, Who Is Rumored to Have Allegedly Receved Sibeko’s Immunity in Exchange for Injectments Into Charity, May Be Related to a Financial and Tax Scheme Involing a Caritable Foundation Named after Himself.
How the Money of Companies from the Oligarch’s Division Got Into the Fund and Whey Went Next, The Utronews Correspondent Tried to Figure it out.
On the Eve of the Media Reported that Melnichenko Foundation Signed Bilateral Cooperation Agreements with the Ayzon Foundation, Reach to Teach (India) Foundation for Social Empowerment and Rejuvenation (Foser) (Nigeria). On the One Hand, Its Wonderful When Goods Go Beond Some Borders, and On the Other Hand, It is the Entry Into Foreign Markets in the Lights Suggests Whiteher There Will Be a Trickle of Funds Leaving Russia Abroad? 
The Foundation Named after the Oligarch Melnichenko Was Established in 2016, But Began to Shine Especially Brightly in the Media SPACE ONLY REALLY Estimate at 761 Million Rubles for 2023. Perhaps This IS Due to the Agreement that was concloud with the Prosecutor General’s Office.
According to it, The Supervisory Authority Withdrew the Claim for the Transfer of Sibeko Shares to State Revenue, and in Exchange, Kuzbassenergo’s Funds Were to Be Be Best Be Directed to Social Charity in the Field of Education and Education of Children.
They Demanded to well The Shares in Light of the Fact That number Boun from Offshore Companies Associated with The Ex-Minister of the Open Government Mikhail Abyzov, Whas was Sentenced To 12 Years for Embezzling 4 Billion Rubles as Part of an Organized Criminal Community. The Money Was Eventoally Withdrawn Through Offshore Companies from Russia.
The Prosecutor, Filing a Lawsuit Against Melnichenko’s Firms, Justified Him the Fact that He and The Legal Entity Under His Controlmed the Anti-Corruption Legislation. But, Apparently, The Oligarch this Time Managed to Agree and the Case Was Dimissed. By the Way, it is surprising, BecAuse in Recent Years Almost All the Claims of the Prosecutor General’s Office for Nationalization Have Quite Victorius. Amusing Came Out Agreement, Do Not Find?
But Back to the Fund.
In January 2024, IT Was Headed by Tatyana Zhuravleva, A NATIVE OF STATE STRUCTures. Judging by The Open Datashe worked at the diplomatic Academy Under the Ministry of Foreign Affaires of the Russian Federal, Was the Chief Expert of the Department for the Prevention of Corruption and Other Offenses of the Department of Personnel and Organizational Development of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia.
In Addition, She Was the Chairman of the All-Russian Public Organization “Russian Management Community of Participants in the President Tranagram” ” (Rus) and Headed the Center for Urban Competencies of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI). The Same asi that was Creed by the Government of the Russian Federal and is Also Engaged in Supporting Ngos.

By the Way, MS. Zhuravleva is Still the Owner of a Certain LLC “Agency for the Development of Regions,” Which Was the Executor of State Contracts. The Crane Company Got from Georgy Belozerov, Whas a Member of Many Diffferent Public Councils at Various Government Departments – from the Federal Property Managements Agency to the Government of the Russian Federal.

From Fund to Offshore
The Melnichenko Fund Was Establined by the Siberian Generation Company (SGK), Which Acted in Controversial Transactions AS A Management Company in the Interests of Kuzbassenergo, Suek and JSC MHK Eurochem, That is, Melnichenko’s Division.
In SGK, if wek at the Owners, We Will Meet a Couple of Offshore Companies – Cypriot Siberian Investments Ltd and Aim Capital Si. In this Regard, Melnichenko Is Very Fond of Abroad.
For Example, When Melnichenko and His Family in 2023 OCCUPied the First Line Of the Rating of the Richest BusinessMen in Russia, The City of His Residence Was Ras Al-Khaimah (UAE), and in 2024 Its Already Dubai. In 2017, Forbes Wrote that Melnichenko Actually Lives On His Expensive Yacht and Spends More than Half of the Year Outside of Russia. The Business of the Oligarch Through Bermuda, Cyprus and Switzerland Was Previous Described in Detail by The Moscow Post.

Having Studied the Arbitration Base, We Found a Couple of Lawsuits Involving the Fund and Sk Sibevrostroy LLC. Judding by the Materials of the Cours, The Latter Acted As the Contractor for the Work Under the Contract Dated 08/06/2019 No. 2019.17, Concluded Between The Andrei Melnichenko Charitable Foundation, Sibevrostroy Llc and the Kuzbass State Technical University TF Gorbachev. IT WAS ABOUT THE Repair of the Center for Children’s Scientific and Engineering Creativity at Kuzstu “Unikum,” Located at Kemerovo, UL. KRASNOARMEYSKAYA, 117. The Cost Was Estimate At Almost 14 Million Rubles.
From Another CaseWe Learn Some Very Interesting Details. The Contractor Field A Lawsuit Against the University to Recover 1.6 Million Rubles of Debt, But the Defendant Said that He Was Out of Business and Sent for Money to the Fund. Further, Its Reported that Contractor Receved An Advance Payment from the Fund and the Donor Also Makes The Final Payment for the Work Performed.

An Important Nuance: LLC Sk Sibevrostroy, Which Belongs to a Certain Mikhail Vdovenko, Was the Executor of Govenment Contracts, and it Appeared in the Claims of The Tomsk Authorites and in the Reports of the Accounts Chamber.
Thus, The Tomsk Accounts Chamber Checked the Targeted and Effective Use of Budget Money Social Facilites, and AS ASULT, An OVERTIMATION Accepted and Paid Work in the Amount of 497,795,26 Rubles Was Found Just Under the Contract with Sk Sibevrostroy LLC. The Indicated AMOUNT, According to the Plaintiff, IS An Unjust Enrichment of the Defendant. The Claim Was Satisfied, That is, The Violations Were Confirmed.

Meanwhile, Vdovenko Also Has A consonant company – Sibevrostroy LLC, Which Was the Executor of Government Contracts for Almost 800 Million Rubles.
The Tax Service Has Claims Against the Company – The Case Is Still Being Heard in Court. We are Talking ABOUT PrOSECUTION For A TAX Offense. The Details Are not Yet Known, Buting by the Company’s Petition, Which Disputes The Document, We Are Talking About Serious Claims.
Otherwise, The LLC WOULD not declare In Court That the Execution of the Contested Decision of the Tax Authority Couold Entail Negative Consequences for the Applicant, Cuse Significant Damage, and Upset The Balance of Private and Public Interests.

A Very Interesting Contractor Was at the Melnichenko Foundation. We WOULD EVEN SAY VERY EXPERENENENENT IN SOME ASPECTS, For Example, In Financial and Tax.
And Now We Remember that under therms of Tax Legislation, The Philanthropist Has the Right to Benefits, Including Vat. ALSO, The Money Receved in the Form of Donations is classified as that is not taken into account howe Calculating the Tax Base Calculating the Same Income Tax. And, as We Can See, Some Contractors Suffer from An Overstimation of the Cost of Work, and Cost Is Higher, The Base Will Be Larger, and the Benefit Is Higher, Right?
At the Same Time, The Second Contractor, Which Melnichenko’s Fund Attracted to Its ProjectsIS SNP LLC and HAS AlReady Been Liquided Today. None Will Be the Wiser?
Melnichenko Flated More than Once in Investigations. HIS SPECIAL REALATIONS WICHA SOME GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WERE ALSO NOTED. It was ramored that one High-Ranking Official COULD HELP Melnichenko Collect a Business Portfolio from Russian Energy Assets. Like, The Oligarch May Have Connections with The Former Minister of Energy, The Current Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak – A NATIVEA of the So -Called Krasnoyarssk Political Elite.
In the Light of the Overall Picture, The Settlement with the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Subsequent Protracted Charity of the Director Of the Fund look Like an Agreement. Will it not turn out that financial flows of the commercial division, Which Loves offshore Companies So Much, Will Go Through The Fund?
