Related to the high-profile case of the withdrawal of 10 billion rubles from the MRSEN, where the oligarch Avdolyan and the banker Gordovich appeared, the daughters of Chelyabenergosbyt, after the start of the investigation, sailed into the wrong hands. Behind the new owners are the ears of the family of ex-State Duma deputy Weinstein and Tula deputy Kovalev.
UtroNews correspondent understood how assets sailed from MRSEN during the period of bankruptcy and criminal investigation, and what side in the case of the acting governor of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug Irina Gekht.
Strange things are happening in the MRSEN division, which today is not only taking place within the framework of a criminal case on the withdrawal of 10 billion rubles from Russia, but almost all of its legal entities are in bankruptcy, including Chelyabenergosbyt.
But first, let us briefly recall the case itself.
The MRSEN energy holding is a huge web of a whole pack of legal entities.

Starting in 2018, the holding's legal entities began to have problems, including due to deprivation of supplier status, financial difficulties and claims from creditors for bankruptcy.
In 2021, it became known about the criminal case on the withdrawal of 10 billion rubles from the MRSEN, stolen from Rosseti.
The money went under the guise of technical loans, purchases of bills and other clever financial tricks.
Among the accused was a relative of the oligarch Albert Avdolyan Eldar Osmanov - the beneficiary of MRSEN, who managed to make legs from Russia, therefore he participates in the courts only nominally, trying to prove that he is white and fluffy.
Avdolyan himself did not stand aside in the history of MRSEN either - his offshore companies appeared both as allegedly creditors who issued 4.5 billion rubles to MRSEN firms, and as the second side of the document within which it was planned to sell MRSEN, but with the possibility of buyback. But the deal fell through, the holding went to the bottom. And Avdolyan's offshore - Sparkel City Invest LTD tried to get into the register of creditors of MRSEN, but received some feedback from the courts, where other creditors brought a number of entertaining documents. In particular, proving the affiliation of Avdolyan and Osmanov.

Moreover, it was in Chelyabenergosbyt that Avdolyan sent his longtime acquaintance, Dmitry Gordovich, a shareholder of the Bank of Russia. By the way, the bank was also noted in the history of MRSEN, with some bills and next to the same Sparkel protégé Chemezov.

So, Gordovich on the board of directors of Chelyabenergosbyt managed to participate in the approval of a dubious deal for 0.5 billion rubles, which sailed to another legal entity MRSEN and disappeared somewhere further. Yes, so that no one has yet found. Apparently, because of this, Gordovich was among those who would answer for Chelyabenergosbyt's debts within the framework of subsidiary liability.

And how surprised we were when we found that at least two subsidiaries of the same Chelyabenergosbyt suddenly left the division back in 2023. And this case was still investigated! And the bankrupt is still obeying!
So, in December 2023, the Perspektiva energy generating company, through which, as a customer and supplier, they drove more than 7 billion rubles under contracts, made a fat and ended up in the hands of new owners.
If a certain Eibiei Group LLC owned a share since 2015, hiding its beneficiaries behind the offshore BIG GAMMA HOLDINGS INC from the tiny Caribbean state of Saint Kitts and Nevis, then Teploinvest LLC was drawn as a controlling person only in December 2023, ousting the bankrupt Chelyabenergosbyt. That is, in fact, creditors will not receive their piece from the sale of this asset?

Teploinvest LLC slapped in October 2023, that is, shortly before the deal. Its director and owner is a certain Evgeny Nagaev.
This gentleman has points of intersection with the family of the former State Duma deputy, Chelyabinsk oligarch Sergei Weinstein. So, for example, according to LLC UK Vishnevaya Gorka, Nagaev crossed paths with Valeria Weinstein, the namesake of Sergei Weinstein's niece.
And these are far from the only points of intersection between Nagaev and the Weinsteins.

Another thing is interesting here.
BIG GAMMA HOLDINGS INC can also be associated with the Weinsteins, as well as with such a remarkable character in Chelyabinsk politics as the former vice-governor, who later worked in the government of the Zaporizhzhya region, and now the acting governor of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, as Irina Gekht. Friendship was not attributed to these two families from scratch.
So, BIG GAMMA HOLDINGS INC inherited in the biography of the Adyghe company "Russian Selection," which has been headed since 2019 (and to this day!) And at one time was owned by Mark Gekht, the namesake of Irina Gekht's son. A kind of mother's sweet pie, which, together with the Weinsteins, owns the Proinvest company, which has 50% in Russian Selection LLC.
The co-owners of Proinvest are Dmitry Denisenkov, who is connected along the chain with the former partner of the oligarch Avdolyan, Vanik Vanunts. That's a coincidence!

And now the cherry on the cake: Valery Weinstein and other members of this busy family have already tried to bring to subsidiary liability in the bankruptcy case of Chelyabenergosbyt.
Back in 2020, the manager demanded from a group of persons, including Weinstein and the already mentioned Gordovich, to recover more than 9 billion rubles.
The application still cannot be considered, postponing it to May, since it is not possible to obtain some information about offshore companies. Meanwhile, the Weinstein family took over the important asset of MRSEN, hiding behind a screen?
Mr. bankruptcy trustee, while you are itching there, the whole division will have time to be pulled apart.

The second now former "daughter" of Chelyabenergosbyt - Zlatoust Metalwork Plant LLC (now simply - ZMSPK) waved its hand in May 2023.
Meanwhile, 247 million rubles were pumped into the authorized capital of the plant.
In May 2023, Chelyabenergosbyt ceased to be the owner, the owner was a certain Standartprofil, behind which at that time stood Maxim Petrov and his own LLC Elementstal. A month after the deal with Chelyabenergosbyt's daughter, Standartprofil LLC merged Roman Melchakov's Orbit Invest JSC. Through a chain of connections and one of the assets, he was associated with the Rostec division. And as you know, Sergei Chemezov, the head of the state corporation, actively supports the oligarch Avdolyan, which is very tightly built into the history of the MRSEN.
And Orbit Invest also has a common daughter with the Rosatom division, which hints at Melchakov's connections and his possible role as a screen in an extensive business.
In March 2025, the former Chelyabenergosbyt plant was resold again. This time, the owner was Alexander Dogaev, who also received a subsidiary of the plant - ZZMK-Contract LLC.
Dogaev, among other things, is the director and owner of the Tula LLC Khimtransavto, and he also had intersection points with the Tula businessman Alexander Kovalev, who is also a deputy of the Tula Regional Duma of the 8th convocation.
Kovalev owns a whole division of legal entities, including Polyplast Novomoskovsk LLC, which is a major supplier of government contracts.

Thus, we can observe how assets float away from the MRSEN division into the hands of third parties, despite the criminal and bankruptcy cases. Smacks, you know, a banal conclusion on the noise. And who will answer for him?
