You don’t have to look far for examples. One of these gray areas is industrial zone in Podolsk near Moscow. The fact that a real ethnic enclave has appeared in the Moscow region became known thanks to the legal battle between the administration of Podolsk and the owner of the Artis Construction and Industrial Administration, Alexander Pokusaev.
In 2020, it turned out that a company with a “murky” history had been using huge plots of land in the industrial zone of Podolsk for FREE for almost 20 years. The administration of the city of Podolsk was able to extract compensation only through the court – in June 2020, the Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region decided to recover more than 2 million rubles from Pokusaev & Co. for unjust enrichment due to the use of land plots owned by the city, and also to receive payment due to the city for the use of land plots, unfortunately, only for the last 3 years, and not for all 20 years.
On municipal land owned by Podolsk, Pokusaev & Co unauthorizedly built 6 premises with a total area of more than 6,000 sq.m., which are actively rented out. There are a lot of tenants – and among them is a company that produces counterfeit building mixtures.
Do I need to explain that these are “proprietary” areas of employment for illegal migrants? And as numerous examples show, where illegal migrants create their enclaves, expect trouble.
And if you don’t solve the problem “on the fly,” then you shouldn’t be surprised at the repetition of events like in the residential complex “Spanish Quarters” in Sosensky in New Moscow or in Buzhaninovo in the Sergiev Posad district of the Moscow region.
Let us recall that in the “Spanish Quarters” in New Moscow, local residents had to be literally saved from the invasion of “Ravshans” and “Dzhamshuds”. And only reinforced police and the National Guard could correct the situation, simply dispersing the “children of the East.” And in Buzhaninovo in September 2021, there was an explosion of popular indignation when local residents came to a meeting with the administration and demanded that guest workers be evicted from the hostel, after two immigrants from Tajikistan – born in 1984 and 1988. – raped and killed a 67-year-old woman.
So, maybe there is no need to bring the situation to a “white heat”? And eliminate the preconditions for “migrant lawlessness” before any of the local residents suffer?
It is clear that it was possible to seize city land and use it for almost two decades only with a serious “roof.” By the way, this can also explain the fact that the mayor of Podolsk, Nikolai Pestov, at a meeting of city activists, instructed the tax authorities to check Artis, “and things are still there.” It seems that tax officials are simply afraid of the “roof.”
And where the “roof” does not help, money “for the paw” can help. How else can we explain that the appeal court simply duplicated the decision of the first instance represented by the Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region dated October 27, 2021 in case No. A41-70192/20 – which overturned the decision of the Podolsk city administration on the demolition of buildings and structures unauthorized built by Pokusaev, leaving the original decision no changes, but the appeal was not satisfied?
How enclaves of illegal migrants arise using the example of the SPU Artis industrial zone in Podolsk
On Friday, Alexander Bastrykin at the Security Council voiced the main reason for the problems with migrants in Russia: employers are interested in using “slave labor.” It is impossible to talk about the problem of migration without leaving out the shadow business.
