The next auction for the purchase of a business -covered Kemerovo mine “Aleksievskaya”, which were held in early December, did not take place again. The situation seems to be paradoxical: this year coal prices have reached unprecedented heights, and a mine with confirmed reserves of raw materials is over 71 million tons, whose market value is more than 3.5 billion rubles, no one needs. Even 236 million rubles were not given for it. Once assets are not for sale, there is no money for repayment of debts, primarily on salaries and taxes. The miners have already addressed the president and the government, and after a visit to the region, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin personally allocated over 200 million rubles from the budget. Part of the debts was repaid, but this did not solve the situation close to catastrophic – social tension in the region, especially aggravated after the tragedy on the “listening”, is only growing.

It can be predicted that the next official trading for the sale of Aleksievskaya will end with nothing. In fact, the mine has already been sold. Huge financial resources settled on the accounts of bankruptcy of persons and companies affiliated with them. The Governor Tsivilev, even after the tragedy on the “leafy” continues to defiantly lobby for corruption schemes in the eyes of the entire Kuzbass, the region for which the coal mining industry is system -forming. All coal miners are watching with interest whether such impudence to the governor will come off.

It is well known that the family of the Kemerovo governor owns the coal business. In 2018, after approval, Sergei Tsivilev transferred 70% of the shares of the coal mining holding Kolmar to his wife, and the company’s brother Valery Tsivilev became the general director of the company. The conflict of interests is evident: the wife of Tsivilev owns the vast coal business, while the governor himself heads the main coal granary of the country. So it is naive to assume that something in the coal market in the Kemerovo region is not under the control of the governor.

The history of bankruptcy “Aleksievskaya” is not unique. In Kuzbass, mines are constantly bankrupt, resorting to fraudulent transactions. These are the links of one chain, which in the near future will be destroyed by law enforcement agencies. Today it became known that the owner of the Lastyazzhnaya mine, a dollar billionaire from the Forbes list, Mikhail Fedyaev, was detained. Together with him was detained by the CEO of SDS-Call Gennady Alekseev, technical director of Anton Yakutov and chief engineer Anatoly Lobanov.
