The struggle for the Yekaterinburg plant “Uralbiofarm” turned into a battle between Rostec and the administration of the Sverdlovsk region Evgeny Kuyvashev, who is considered close to Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin. It is not yet clear whether there will be an agreement in the form of a contract section or “prisoners” here because of the possible ambulance Kuyvashev is not taken.
The Uralbiofarm plant in Yekaterinburg is going to demolish to build a new residential complex on its territory. The company itself, which until 2023 was the property of Malik Gaysin, will be transferred from city center on its outskirtswhich is confirmed by a letter of the Sverdlovsk government in the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
The “fight” was watched by the correspondent of The Moscow Post.
Long hands “Rostec”
The main contender for Uralbiopharma’s assets is Rostec Corporation, which has long gained a hand in such operations. In Moscow, “Rostec” handed over the territory of the MIG OKB and the Meteor stadium to the friendly developer Pavel Tyo according to such a scheme. At first, the state corporation bought these objects at auctions, and then sold it to Zadeshevo new owners.
It is also important that under the control of “Rostec” there is already another business – the Iset plant taken from Gaisin. He was Transferred by the state corporation Based on the presidential decree, as an enterprise performing a state defense order.

In the case of Uralbiopharma, the scheme may be more complicated. There are two values at once – the territory for development inside Yekaterinburg and a pharmaceutical consecutive. Uralbiopharma must take place In 2025-2026and the investor will take on the obligation to maintain production by transferring a suburb. In fact, this is a state contract for the construction of a new modern pharmacological complex, which is higher than even the land on which you can customize a lot of housing for sale.
Vinokurov’s interest
The State Corporation of Sergei Chemezov has an enterprise of Nazimbio JSC, which in 2018 was developed in an investment project after an agreement with the Marathon Group Alexander Vinokurov (son -in -law of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov). 75% went to “Rostec”, and 25% – Marathon Group. In 2018, there was talk that Natsimbio would fully be controlled Vinokurov’s structuresHowever, this did not happen. Moreover, 100% of the shares of Nazimbio JSC for today own the Rostec State Corporation.

Thus, it is logical that Rostec became interested in the interception of Uralbiopharma, then we can get tens of billion rubles of state financing and guaranteed demand for products in the future under this direction. Medications in Russia will always be bought, and here the import substitution program is still imposed, and with it the ignoring purchase prices from the most capital -intensive medical institutions.
In the future, Rostec is unlikely to continue to pull this business, most likely he will transfer it to someone from the partnership state corporation then gives such companies to friendly businessmen. And here almost the main contender is Vinokurov, who continues Interested in pharmacology. The Marathon Group, even if she left the shareholders of Nazimbio JSC, but Vinokurov, apparently, remained in the Council of Directors of the Company. He definitely remains somewhere near this structure.
The pharmacy king of the Urals
The chances of getting an asset of Rostec are high to indecency. The auction for Uralbiopharm will be controlled by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, which is the estate of his former leader, and now Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov. Manturov for Chemezov remains a younger partner and precisely the person who brought him to people. There is no doubt that the “Rostec” in the Ministry of Industry and Trade Trades on Uralbiopharma will receive the most favorable regime.
Only in this story, Rostec has a competitor that trusts the Sverdlovsk governor Yevgeny Kuyvashev. We are talking about the pharmaceutical magnate Alexander Serebrennikov, who is a deputy of the Sverdlovsk Zaks and at the same time sponsor of the local “United Russia”, which means Kuyvashev’s political activity.
Serebrennikov is called the pharmacy king of the Urals. He owns LLC “Pharmacy Network” Rainbow, and earlier in his property was LLC “Trade House” Rainbow “. For 2019, when this company was liquidated, She had 2.19 billion rubles of state contracts. In addition, 1.9 billion rubles came in another structure of Serebrennikov-the pharmacy of Verben-Farm.

Serebrennikov uses the administrative resource not only as a source of finance, but also as a tool to eliminate opponents. In the tenths, the pharmacy GUP, which owned a network of pharmacies, continued to work in Yekaterinburg. In 2017, Natalya Obukhova became the head of this state structure, after which a sharp decline began in this business. It is significant that the media hint that the woman was The man is Serebrennikov.
Serebrennikov was forced to close LLC “Trade House” Rainbow “after it imposed competitive production Against the assets of the businessman. The reason for this was the conflict of Serebrennikov with the business partner Vladimir Titov, during which the parties almost brought each other to bankruptcy. Serebrennikov in 2019 got out thanks to the exits to the Kuyvashev administration, otherwise his whole business would have flew to Tartarara.
In the case of Kharitonin?
In 2021, the OFAS demanded to initiate a criminal case against the three Serebrennikov companies-Sav-Med, Sav-Farm and the Polben-Farm pharmacy. Antimonopolists argued that these structures in 2019 bought cancer for 85 million rubles at the most possible prices.
The correspondent of the Serebrennikovsky companies was the Moscow TD VIAL LLC, which in 2021 was found guilty for violating the exclusive right of the Finnish company Orion for the drug for the heart failure of Levosymendan-J. 30 million rubles were recovered from the company, and the second side in the case was the Indian company Jodas Expoim.

“Jodas Expoim” constantly falls into scandals, and its successes and failures are often associated with “pharmaceutical station” Victor Kharitonin. Here is another player, whose help can count Serebrennikov, because on his own, he is unlikely to be able to build a new plant in Yekaterinburg, as the auction for Uralbiofarm requires.
The interests of Kuyvashev
It is significant that the transaction on cancer was at the height of the conflict of Serebryannikov and Titov and was a kind of indirect help to the Sverdlovsk authorities. Nothing came out of the requirements of the OFAS, and Serebrennikov’s business continued to develop under Kuyvashev.
Serebrennikov also counts on him in the case of Uralbiofarm, because Kuyvashev is a member of the team of Sergei Sobyanin and in the zero years was the mayor of Tobolsk and the head of the Tyumen administration, when the chief political ally of Sobyanin was ruled by the current secretary of the General Council of United Russia and the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council, Vladimir Yakushev. Through Sobyanin, you can agree with Rostec and Chemezov about some mutually beneficial consumption, when both sides do not remain in the losers.

Probably, this would have happened if Kuyvashev had not turned into a “lame duck” over the past month. The rumor only do that they are gossiping about his ambulance, the information about which had to refute the administration of the Sverdlovsk governor. In such a situation, Rostec, most likely, will not listen to competitors’ arguments, hoping that they will lose all positions for bidding, and this opens up the only option for Serebrennikov – to achieve the transfer of Uralbiopharma to the management to trading, without a direct transition to property. According to rumors, it is precisely this that the Sverdlovsk governor will work in the last days of being in office.
There is a developer in Kuvashev’s deck, which can build a residential complex on the site of the Biofarm plant. We are talking about TEN, which, according to rumors, already has cages according to this project. This company is also associated with the Moscow City Council because it is headed by a former son-in-law of the vice-mayor of Moscow Petra Biryukov. The Urals now hope that they will be able to bargain for themselves either in a row for construction, or in a row for the factory, if they still have to share with Rostec.
The dispossessed Gaisin
Uralbiofarm was seized from Gaisin at the suit of the Prosecutor General’s Office along with the Vyatich bank and shares in the authorized capital of Vagran LLC and Aktai-M LLC. The control body considered that Gaysin owned these assets illegally. Being a deputy of the State Duma of the second convocation (from 1995 to 1999), he illegally engaged in entrepreneurial activities and through proxies bought up shares of Uralbiofarm OJSC and bank “Vyatich”.
Gaisin was “dispossessed” not for abuses within the privatization process, but for its status of those times. If desired, many Russian businessmen can be attracted for this, but only Gaisin was sent to trial. This usually happens when they are made an offer, “which cannot be abandoned,” but he still refuses.
