The market is shrinking. How the director of the Lenin state farm sold Turkish strawberries under the guise of Moscow region Statements by Pavel Grudinin

For a non-Muscovite, it will be a surprise that the Lenin State Farm, which became famous throughout the country after its director Pavel Grudinin was nominated for President of the Russian Federation, is not a state farm in the usual sense. In fact, this is an urban residential area just a few kilometers from the Domodedovskaya metro station. It is even more surprising that the brainchild of the life of a stern denouncer of power is a gingerbread town from children's fairy tales. The gates installed at the entrance are already set in the right way.

The fact that this place is formally a rural settlement with the same name - the State Farm named after Lenin - is reminded only by the traditional proximity of the monument to the leader of the world proletariat with the “office”, which is traditional for the village.

The main office of Grudinin’s enterprise is a modest building, covered with plastic in the fashion of the early 2000s, lost behind the Lenin monument. But nearby there is a huge gingerbread castle. This is a kindergarten. One of two in the village. This proximity clearly demonstrates the director’s priorities.

Locals call it “childhood castle”; it was built five years ago according to the author’s design. Interestingly, the building actually has only two floors. Thus, Grudinin’s team managed to bypass the SNIPs that were in force five years ago, regulating such structures exclusively as buildings of two floors and no more. Grudinin’s team not only managed to lobby for construction, but also managed to make the institution municipal. The castle cost the enterprise 260 million rubles, it has 180 places, children receive them free of charge in the general manner, as in any ordinary kindergarten.

In total, about 8 thousand residents live in the Lenin State Farm (according to other estimates, 12 thousand). One kindergarten was clearly not enough, and a second one was soon built. It is also made in the shape of a fairytale castle, although it looks a little more austere. On the main tower there is a clock with working chimes.

When you go to see the village, they say, “be sure to see the new school.” Moscow hipsters call 548 “the school of the future.” It is considered a great success to place children in it.

Pavel Grudinin in his interviews often admitted his sympathy for Scandinavian socialism. The director of State Farm, as his team says, is confident that crime must be eradicated from a young age. If children have something to do, then the idea of ​​gathering in the hallways to drink beer does not occur to them. And the 548th school is a fusion of Scandinavian developments in education and the ideas of local teachers. Maximum free space and “air” in the building, transparent classroom walls - this is a school where children are present all day, and not just during lessons. In approaches to teaching, the emphasis is on the child’s early career guidance and his maximum development. That is, it is better if a student proves himself in the maximum number of areas of activity than to waste time on this later, after graduating from college.

It is characteristic that we are not talking about the tired “search for oneself” - in art, show business and the humanities. Yes, there are ballet and theater clubs, and even a recording studio and a climbing wall, but this is rarely surprising these days. But the fact that the school has a craft workshop where you can learn carpentry, tailoring or culinary arts is perhaps surprising.

There are also laboratories for experiments in chemistry and physics and a huge classroom filled to the brim with robotics.

Education and food are free, but clubs cost money, albeit not much. If a child suddenly wants to visit them all at once, it will cost the parents 5 thousand rubles. per month. Children are at school until eight o'clock in the evening. They say that the establishment was built so that the child could spend the whole day there. The concept is broader than just letting a child try everything. Instead of the already familiar division of students into humanities, mathematicians and chemists, there is a system of division into basic professional areas: engineering and architecture. At the same time, the school management claims that its goal is to graduate a child with craft skills.

The school has plenty of free space where teachers can conduct lessons outside of class if they wish. For example, as an elective foreign language course, you can watch a movie in the hall. And as an elective for physical education, go to the climbing wall.

This is what the teachers' room looks like at school No. 548.

And this is an ordinary, as they call it, “universal” classroom.

Almost 700 children study at the institution. The younger ones have their own atmosphere. From the second to the first floor they move exclusively along a pipe-slide.


According to statistics, graduates of school 548 all (!) end up entering universities on the budget. So it is stated.

It turns out that it is possible to build a school yourself without government participation in Russia. Surprisingly, it is much more difficult to give it to the state later on the balance sheet so that it becomes municipal. Moscow did not want to take over the school. It is expensive to maintain and is geographically located outside of Moscow. Grudinin wanted to give it to Moscow. The logic here is simple: in the capital, 129 thousand rubles are spent per student per month, in the Moscow region - 70 thousand rubles. They say that in order to convince officials on Tverskaya to take over the educational institution, Gennady Zyuganov talked to Vladimir Putin.

As soon as Grudinin ran for president, telegram channels immediately began to attribute to him a conflict with Sergei Sobyanin. But much more noticeable is the tense relationship between the management of the state farm and the authorities of the Moscow region and its governor Andrey Vorobyov. About this to the correspondent Nakanune.RU two interlocutors said at once. Officials are not very happy with Grudinin, despite all the obvious social responsibility of his enterprise. State Farm explains this by saying that the director refuses to participate in general business programs, for example, funding professional sports teams. Conflict situations also arise in the housing and communal services sector. Here utilities are a thousand or two cheaper than in the rest of the Moscow region. This also allegedly does not suit the officials.

The topic of relations with the state on a state farm, to put it mildly, does not evoke enthusiasm, which is somewhat unexpected for an agricultural enterprise. There is already an established opinion that agrarians, even large ones, cannot survive in Russia without support . “Subsidies are very good, but even if they don’t exist, that’s not bad,”- they say at the state farm.

A wary attitude is also felt towards those who do not live here. Order is maintained by the local private security company “Kolovrat”. It is not easy for a non-local to get into the Grudinin school. There is a feeling that the state farm is generally trying in every possible way to isolate itself from Muscovites.

For example, Grudinin opened the “Fairy Tale Park”, and it turned out to be so cozy that it turned into a favorite vacation spot for all Muscovites. Residents of the village simply no longer had enough space and they asked Grudinin to close the park from those who came in large numbers, to which the director objected: “How can I let your child into the park, but tell another child: no, but you can’t, you’re not from here?” As a result, we had to open another park only for residents of the village.

But the state farm has an agro-tourist complex for everyone. Its concept came from Grudinin’s belief that it would be useful for children living in a metropolis to at least know where milk comes from. Parents who do not have family members in the village can bring their children here. Here the guys will milk the cow themselves, ride horses, and grind grain. They say that once a group of children arrived, in which the boy burst into tears when he learned that the cows were not lilac.

It is clear that everything described costs money. The kindergarten cost 260 million, the school, famous throughout Moscow, cost the state farm 2 billion rubles. To the question“Where did you get the money?”here they answer “they were selling strawberries”. The state farm says that there are funds because Grudinin himself does not consider himself a capitalist (he only owns 44% of the shares of the company), and his joint-stock company does not pay dividends. All profits allegedly go to increase wages and pensioners, social programs and modernization of production.

The logic of Grudinin’s enterprise is complete economic independence of his territory, that same “reliance on one’s own strength” in a single village (however, this is the maximum goal). Therefore, the state farm has several “businesses”. Leasing of warehouse and unused premises at the enterprise, processing of vegetables and berries (for example, raw materials for juices were bought for a long time by the Lebedyansky plant, which produced J7 juices), extraction and sale of water from artesian wells, livestock farming, including its own apiary.

But the main thing is strawberries. It is everywhere on the state farm, not just in the margins and logo.

Sometimes it is replaced by apples. They are also grown on the state farm.

There are also strawberries in Grudinin’s own office.

Another rumor about the Lenin State Farm is connected with the berry, which also appeared after it became known about Grudinin’s nomination, that in fact his enterprise does not produce anything, but simply resells “Turkish strawberries.”

In fact, the state farm is 2 thousand hectares (70% of the settlement’s territory is in agricultural rotation, and 300 hectares of land are occupied by strawberries).

In the “non-existent gardens” around the state farm, not only strawberries grow, but also apples, pears, currants, gooseberries, sea buckthorn, chokeberries and raspberries.

By the way, it all began more than two decades ago with a scientific project to develop a special honeysuckle culture. Scientific work is still being carried out by agronomists here.

However, “it began” would not be entirely correct. The state farm has been operating since Soviet times, Grudinin’s parents worked there, and he himself began his career here immediately after graduating from the institute where he received an engineering education. From 1982 to 1989 he worked as the head of a mechanical workshop, from 1990 to 1995 - as deputy director, and in 1995, by the general meeting, he was elected director of CJSC Lenin State Farm.

But it was precisely with its “scientific” approach to collecting strawberries that the state farm gained its initial fame in neighboring areas... and political organizations. Every summer Grudinin calls out throughout Moscow, as well as to parties and movements that work with the state farm, offering to come to the harvest. The work of volunteers is paid in berries. The volunteer receives 10% of the collected money. For several years in a row, the entire left-wing crowd of the capital has been coming to the fields to buy Grudinino strawberries. So, it can be argued that Grudinin began his election campaign quite a long time ago.

However, it is obvious that the main work is not done by politically active citizens, but by salaried workers trained in hard work. Grudinin strawberries are on the shelves and markets in the morning, when the picking just begins. Efficiency is achieved through organization, as well as the fact that the berries do not need to be washed thoroughly. The tractor immediately picks up the pallets from the field and takes them to the weighing station, where they are weighed, and there are cars nearby into which they are loaded. The salesman is already waiting for her in the car. Eliminating the washing step to achieve marketable appearance is possible because the berries do not touch the soil, even if it rains. To do this, straw is mulched and laid out between the rows, so that when the berry grows, it lies on the straw and not on the ground.

Thanks to drip irrigation technology in the fields, Grudinin strawberries receive water hourly and grow unusually large.

In winter, the permanent workers of the state farm do not leave the fields for vacation, but go to other jobs, tractor drivers clear snow from the streets, and the rest work in the processing shops. Let us remind you that on the state farm, in addition to strawberries, vegetables are also grown, and they are processed right there.

Previously, juice raw materials obtained from carrot puree were sold to large manufacturers. Now they make 16 varieties of their own juices, as well as strawberry uzvar.

The Lenin State Farm has always been a livestock farm, and they are aware that this industry is unprofitable by default in Russia. They say that Grudinin believes that this will not last long and new technologies, the same Internet of things, will change the situation. The state farm's livestock farm is one of the most modernized in the country. It is equipped with equipment connected to the wireless Internet, which allows for fine and remote control over household and equipment. There is a robot that cleans up the waste products of the cows, there is an automatic milking - a cow wants to be milked, she goes to the machine, which itself washes, processes her udder and takes the first stream of milk to sample. If the animal is healthy, milking begins. Afterwards the cow receives a treat so that she will not be lazy about milking in the future. Cunning and voracious cows that abuse milk yield receive a light electric shock instead of a treat.

During my short stay in the village, it was very difficult to understand the relationship between Grudinin and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. The party clearly nurtures and supports its nominee. On one of the high-rise buildings of the state farm there is even a huge ball with party symbols, as if indicating “this place is ours.” But who actually plays first fiddle in this alliance and how durable it is is unclear. Grudinin's state farm can hardly be perceived as exemplary by ideological fighters against private property and for workers' rights. It is unlikely that they will even agree to call it a state farm. But for the Social Democrats, this is an obvious example of the success of their ideas on Russian soil.

At the enterprise itself, they are watching with alarm as the boss once again breaks into politics (his first political campaign here dates back to 1997). They fear that excessive attention from the state, which is not very trusted here, will not only not bring results, but will also destroy this man-made garden city.

How the director of the Lenin state farm sold Turkish strawberries
under the guise of a Moscow region

Successful agricultural enterprises are rare in Russia. Therefore, the story of every successful person always attracts special attention. And often upon careful examination it turns out that this success is very specific. For example, the Lenin state farm in the near Moscow region, which produces fruits and vegetables, has been among the best enterprises in the Russian agricultural sector for a decade and a half. In reality, the formula for his success seems to have been copied from those pages of old Western history textbooks, which talk about the slave labor of foreigners, the dispossession of peasants and dubious transactions with the supply of foreign fruit.

According to the proverb, it is not the place that makes the man. But the main factor in the success of an agricultural enterprise is always the location of its land. The closer the fields, greenhouses, or poultry farms are to the consumer, the lower the delivery costs, the higher the capital turnover and sales level. It was this elementary truth of capitalism that helped the former Soviet state farm named after Lenin in the dashing 90s. The state farm's land is located literally just outside the Moscow Ring Road in the Leninsky district of the Moscow region. And a huge sales market is on the other side of the ring road. The state farm now has almost two thousand hectares of reclaimed land, its own herd of 800 cows, its own refrigerators and an apple orchard. Among the state farm's partners is the German company Ehrmann, which buys milk for yoghurts. The head of the state farm, Pavel Grudinin, is by no means a mossy red director. He willingly gives interviews, participates in radio and television programs, and likes to comment on government actions. Grudinin does not like criticism addressed to him. Moreover, not at all because of arrogance. It’s just that every negative fact noticed by the sharp eye of a visiting ill-wisher can turn into a large-scale revision for a successful agricultural industrialist. And at the end of such events, interviews are usually not given.

Land for the bourgeoisie?

The slyness here is hidden even in the name. The State Farm named after Lenin, of course, is not a state farm at all. According to Pavel Grudinin, the name was invented to preserve the previous “brand”, which was known to many Muscovites. This is an ordinary capitalist CJSC - that is, a closed joint stock company. Its history is very interesting and fascinating. In the early 90s, the former state farm, like all similar enterprises, fell into a period of crisis. Grudinin worked there from the beginning of the 80s, and in the 90s he was already deputy director for commercial affairs. It was with his direct participation that the deal for the sale of 5.6 hectares of collective farm land, overlooking the intersection of Kashirskoe Highway and the Moscow Ring Road, was completed.

The buyer was the company “Crocus International” of the famous Azerbaijani businessman Aras Agalarov, who built a store of the “Your House” chain on it - one of the most successful commercial real estate projects of this company. The land seemed to be sold for $1,500 per hundred square meters, but this is according to Grudinin himself.

Experts, by the way, say that “one hundred square meters on the Moscow Ring Road” can reach a price of 100 thousand conventional units... Where the “declared” 840 thousand dollars went is also not clear.

According to the official version, this money was used to pay off debts and purchase new technologies. However, immediately after the sale of the land, the government changed at the state farm - the former director Pyotr Ryabtsev voluntarily resigned, and the meeting of artel members elected 35-year-old Grudinin as the new leader. According to rumors, Ryabtsev was “asked” to resign because he was aware of all the previous manipulations with the lands of the state farm (the red director rented them out, etc., which was previously reported by the Kommersant newspaper)

Having become the director of the state farm, Grudinin immediately took power into his own hands so that Ryabtsev’s times seemed like paradise to some workers. In general, the clever forerunner of the “effective managers” of the 2000s managed to deceive naive villagers like in a game of thimble. First of all, Pavel Grudinin declared a legal war on those peasants who, on the basis of Boris Yeltsin’s decrees, received 15 acres of collective farm land per family member.

They were offered to return the plots back, but under a plausible pretext - in the form of a contribution to the share capital of the Lenin State Farm CJSC created in 1995. Having lost the land they received, they became shareholders. At the same time, the state farmers were persuaded - in order to protect themselves supposedly from “raiders” - to enshrine in the charter a provision stating that state farm land could only be sold at a price of $1,500 per hundred square meters. This is despite the fact that the lands remained for agricultural purposes and were not converted for housing construction, which made such a price absurd in the conditions of that time.

But the peasants believed. And, as a result, they lost both their lands and the securities they received. After all, what are shares if we are talking about a tiny share of the authorized capital that went to each of the members of the artel? Today they are there, tomorrow they are not, and it is clear that sooner or later they will go to the one who has more money. It is not difficult to guess who managed to accumulate most of them. - At the beginning, in 1995, the shareholders were 526 shareholders, employees of the state farm. And now there are 40 of them left, the majority of shares are in the hands of managers, chief specialists,” Pavel Grudinin honestly admitted in one of his interviews in 2010. At the same time, Grudinin himself, according to his information, has about 40% of the shares.

Simply put, the top management of the company, headed by the director, gradually bought up shares from almost 90 percent of shareholders. So the peasants near Moscow lost their land completely.

Quiet and pay

Pavel Grudinin explains his concern for state farm land and peasants with lofty goals: the desire to maintain production, achieve wage growth, give people a future, and so on. Outwardly, everything looks like this: wages on the state farm have increased, the village has grown with new houses, and the milk yield of the cows has increased three to four times. True, the sociable director of the state farm prefers not to brag about some things. For example, Grudinin is unlikely to talk about the fact that most of the apartments in which were sold to “third-party investors.” Or, say, he will reveal the state farm’s participation in the affairs and capital of some commercial enterprises, such as the Kashirsky Dvor shopping complex and the Kashirka Mall shopping center. And the main production secret of the “communist” enterprise can be considered a scheme for importing imported berries, often of genetically modified origin, into the Russian capital.

According to representatives of law enforcement agencies, the state farm’s natural partner in this difficult task was representatives of organized crime, who had long ago moved away from the primitive schemes of “tent racketeering” and, with their modest efforts, ensured the country’s food security. True, in my own way. It's simple. In words, the state farm is positioned as the largest producer of the so-called “garden strawberries”, which are sold to capital residents under the guise of familiar strawberries. But growing vegetables and berries in the conditions of the Moscow region when importing such products from Turkey, Poland, Morocco, Spain and Egypt is not economically feasible. Actually, this is why large Russian greenhouse farms, like Belaya Dacha, are acquiring farms in the Kuban.

The reason, of course, is the climate, high energy costs, and the need to have large refrigeration capacities - after all, it is impossible to keep the same berries without a refrigerator for more than one day in the summer, the goods will be lost. But it can be imported from Turkey. The scheme has long been established: supplies of imported berries from Turkey and Poland, the cost of which during transit is underestimated by 2-3 times, and their weight in trucks is also underestimated, ends up in Russia, where it is cleared through customs with a minimum tax base, and then through a fly-by-night company to the final seller. The criminals' good connections in Turkey allow them to negotiate the supply of cheap berries. Of course, no one looks at their certification and how they are grown. Then the berries pass through the state farm, where their packaging is re-labeled, and then they go to retail chains. Such a scheme allows not only to make a profit from the sale of imported berries, becoming a stronghold for their smuggling in the Moscow region, but also to underestimate the tax base. As a result, this gives up to 70-80 million “gray” rubles per season.

Actually, Grudinin himself let slip about the overly advanced methods of “growing” delicate berries in an interview with the newspaper “Novye Izvestia”. “In May, under the guise of our strawberries, they sold Turkish strawberries...” the director of the state farm complained in June of this year.

It seems that there was a technical glitch: “state farm” strawberries, in theory, ripen only in June. In our opinion, the director of the state farm made another mistake when ordering containers: every year the state farm should buy up to 150 thousand branded wooden boxes for strawberries alone, but for some reason they don’t do this. And Grudinin’s main mistake was some arrogance. Initially, the sale of berries was established through the Auchan and Metro hypermarket chains.

However, then the cooperation was suddenly broken off, and the state farm refused to supply its products there. Grudinin’s same “informal partners” had to sell the strawberries, planting, for show, a dozen retail tents along the roads.

Fruits, not people

However, Grudinin’s peasants did not refuse to sell on the side of the road. That's the way things are here. And the workers understood that the real reason for the severance of relations with Auchan and Metro, of course, was not low purchasing prices. Being, in fact, foreign companies, they requested certificates from the state farm for the products supplied to them, which, as you might guess, the “effective” manager did not refuse. True, no big scandal came out of this. By a strange coincidence, the regulatory authorities did not notice anything. And the state farm boss, having gathered his “plowmen and carpenters,” explained all the troubles as the machinations of competitors.

Of course, now state farm workers no longer have to sell imported berries by hand. According to some reports, “Moscow region strawberries” are already supplied to large hypermarkets in Moscow.

But the position of ordinary workers still remains unenviable. We are, of course, not talking about “show peasants”, each of whom receives a manager’s salary. We believe that the main work on the state farm is performed by temporarily hired workers. This summer alone, about three thousand people worked hard on strawberry plantations every day. And in a year, up to 20 thousand pensioners, foreign guest workers, children and teenagers pass through the state farm...

Child labor is especially in demand - and you need less space and food, but children’s hands don’t remember strawberries... No contracts, no provision of identification documents, no sanitary checks... In the sweet taste of “Moscow region” berries, it is difficult to notice the bitterness of virtually forced labor labor. And law enforcement and regulatory authorities treat the new Russian landowners with loyalty that is surprising even by Russian standards.

Starting from the 25th minute (25.40) - “Stop spreading imperial ambitions,” says Grudinin. The war in Afghanistan is the reason for the collapse of the USSR. Syria (I don’t remember, from the same place or from another interview)... Oh, Syria, I hope it doesn’t become a second Afghanistan. There is no need to help other countries, etc. Let's take care of our country.

Something familiar? Exactly. These are the slogans of Soviet politicians during Perestroika. This is what Gorbachev received the Nobel Peace Prize for. And as a result, the USSR lost all its allies and all (by the way, about industrial production) sales markets, as a result of which NATO tanks are now stationed in the Baltic states.

McFaul knows very well that during war you cannot apologize, take a time out and mind your own internal affairs. During a war, you have to fight—repel the enemy’s blows and deliver your own. If the war is global, then it is necessary to repel and strike throughout the world. At the same time, you need to become stronger inside, of course. But no one will allow you to take a time out - as soon as you stop the fight, they will finish you off. We must win. The winner takes it all. Or lose. Woe to the loser.

We understood this very well in the 90s - when we lost and grief came. We have begun to forget about this now that we have gradually tasted the taste of victory again and it has even become somewhat familiar.

The Anglo-Saxons never forgot about this and will never forget, because they did not stop the war with us and will not stop for a minute. Well, unless they get distracted by the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Gorbachev or Grudinin - this is also an element of war.

Putin, of course, is in their throats. Of course, who in the American and Israeli leadership would have thought at the beginning of the Arab Spring that its main result would not be the emergence of ISIS on the southern borders of Russia, but the appearance of Russian Aerospace Forces and Navy bases in the Eastern Mediterranean?

It's a shame, yes. Here you will start to fight for the “simple Russian peasant”, only to remove this hated KGB officer who always outplays you. Anyone - but not Putin, say the Americans.

For me personally, this means one thing - Putin and only Putin.

P.S. And a couple more points. Somewhat alarming is the ease with which many of my compatriots, who are quite patriots, fall for slogans and beautiful speeches. Just yesterday I couldn’t even dream about the man. And today everything has already melted away from competent propaganda and the well-thought-out image of a “simple Russian peasant.” Mild maidanutism syndrome, however.

The national question of Pavel Grudinin.

The head of a state farm near Moscow is suing Russian Reporter over an interview with extremist statements that cost him participation in the elections.

An interview with the Russian Reporter magazine cost the director of the Lenin state farm Pavel Grudinin parliamentary mandate. His statements, published on the pages of the magazine, were considered extremist, and as a result, Grudinin’s candidacy was removed from the elections to the Moscow Regional Duma. Now the businessman has filed a lawsuit against the editor. According to him, the journalists did not show him the interview before publication and changed the meaning of the statements.

Sayings about Uzbeks

An article about the Lenin state farm and its head Pavel Grudinin was published in Russian Reporter a month before the parliamentary elections - October 31, 2011. It was called “Palnikolaich named after Lenin”, and it mainly talked about Grudinin’s business - “2000 hectares of golden land near Moscow, where, contrary to all the laws of the market, agriculture is still really carried out.” The question of nationality became fatal.

“I tell investors who are building apartments: look at the nationality. And if you start selling apartments to the wrong people, I won’t work with you. There is such a concept - face control, when an investor, before buying an apartment, personally communicates with everyone. Last name Ivanov is good. Zagorulko - good. Lukashenko - okay. Harutyunyan - think about it. Even if you have less money. I’m not Rogozin, I don’t think he’s right, but I see that we have a problem. We still need to restrict entry. Why are there so many Uzbeks? Buy small-scale mechanization equipment, and they will replace ten Uzbeks. There will be ten times fewer wipers, but everyone will have an electric vacuum cleaner! - Russian Reporter quotes Grudinin as saying. - I understand that this is a problem. Interethnic conflicts are the future of our country. This is immediately obvious. Children come to school without knowing Russian. They come in auls. When a little white guy fights with a black guy on the court, if the little black one wins, the little white guys run away. If the white one wins, then the little black ones are all against the white one. And when there are two of them, it’s not scary, but when there are many of them, it’s a disaster.”

Competitors of the Communist Party candidate Pavel Grudinin from United Russia went to court, which declared the interview extremist. Now he does not have the right to participate in elections at various levels. To return to political activity, he needs to prove in court that “Russian Reporter” attributed other people’s words to him.

They promised a report, but it turned out to be an interview

“According to the law, Russian Reporter had to provide me with a recording of the conversation and agree on an interview with me before publication. They didn’t do this, despite what they promised,” Pavel Grudinin tells Marker. - The magazine published a report with elements of an interview - direct speech was mixed with indirect speech, the dialogue turned into a monologue. As a result, many words attributed to me were taken out of context, so they acquired a different meaning. We suggested that “Russian Reporter” admit that this was a creative reworking of the recording, which was not agreed upon with me, but he did not agree to this. If they had admitted this, then I would not have been accused of extremism and would not have been removed from the election race.”

According to Grudinin, Roskomnadzor conducted a linguistic examination of the published text, and no extremist statements were found there. But the court did not take this into account when making its decision. If Grudinin manages to defend his interests in court, he plans to again take part in elections at various levels. However, the Russian Reporter assures that the published direct speech fully corresponds to the audio recording.

“To my taste, Grudinin does not say anything criminal in an interview, but the judicial system decided otherwise. We regret that he was removed from the elections, which is what he was told about,” explains Vitaly Leibin, editor-in-chief of Russian Reporter. - The parties to the process asked us to accept their position. Grudinin’s lawyers asked us to say that he did not say anything like that, and the Investigative Committee employees asked us to say the opposite. We have maintained neutrality, but now Grudinin is suing us. It’s clear why he does this, but the text matches the recording of the interview.”

Lawyers do not see anything illegal in the actions of journalists. If there was an agreement to agree on an interview before publication, then doing so is a matter of ethics, not law. “The journalist is not at all obliged to show the text before publication; the plaintiff should have understood that he was saying everything on the record,” said Igor Simonov, lawyer at the Knyazev and Partners bar association. - Also an insignificant question about the genre. If there was no initial agreement that information would be provided subject to certain strict conditions, then it doesn’t matter whether it’s a report or an interview.”

Lawyer of the Lenin State Farm CJSC Svetlana Smirnova revealed the secret of P.N. Grudinin, that apartments are rented out to employees for the duration of their employment in this CJSC. As long as the employment contract is valid, there is a place to live! This is the truth!

PAVEL GRUDININ SAID MORE THAN TIMES IN HIS INTERVIEWS THAT HE GIVES PRIORITY ONLY TO THE SLAVS, BUT THE FACTS SPEAK DIFFERENTLY... The lies of the Director of the Lenin State Farm CJSC know no bounds. Farm workers receive a salary of 44 tr. crests go to him to wash and do laundry. Muscovites have become so impoverished that they go to Pasha to work and eat at least a little strawberries.
THE ROLLERS DISAPPEAR BEFORE YOUR EYES, EVERYTHING IS CAREFULLY WIPPED. Everything that was published in 2017, every bad word, everything was erased, cleaned to a shine. NOT EVERYTHING IS AS CLOUDLESS AS IN THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. NOT EVERYTHING IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS IN THE CREDITS. FOR EXAMPLE: KINDERGARTEN IN THE FORM OF A CASTLE WITH AN AREA OF 600 SQ.M. - PRIVATE, ONLY 150 CHILDREN ATTEND IT. THE REST OF THE KIDS ARE COMPLETELY ORDINARY... YOU CAN EASILY FIND ALL THIS ON THE INTERNET. THE STATE FARM, ESSENTIALLY A CJSC (CLOSED JOINT STOCK COMPANY) IS UNPREFITABLE AND LIVES FROM THE GOLDEN LAND ON WHICH HOUSES ARE BUILT AND SOLD AT FULL MOSCOW PRICES. OR MAYBE ALL THIS ABUNDANCE IS FINANCED FROM OTHER SOURCES? AND MAYBE THIS WHOLE TALE IS SPECIALLY FOR US - WHO WANT TO BE DECEPTED!!!

Grudinin or Navalny, who is better?
Impressions from the performance on the federal channel

I especially watched Comrade Grudinin in the “Time Will Tell” program. To still refresh the impressions. Refreshed. I was confused. The points are as follows (not in order, but as I remember):


1. It is better to be rich and healthy than poor and sick.


2. Let's make Russia great again. Luxembourg is great because it is rich, and we are poor and poor because we are poor.


3. Where to get money? Yes, the nationalization of large enterprises. The introduction of a progressive tax on the rich and the abolition of any taxes for the poor (for a long time they tried to get him to say who the poor and who the rich are in numbers, he never said about the rich, and the poor is the one who receives 25 thousand, but did not say, on is it for the soul or for the worker).


At the same time, business must be freed from extortions and any other burden. In addition, it is necessary to return money from offshore companies. How? Yes, it’s very simple - look at Saudi Arabia. A simple soldering iron or iron perfectly returns any funds from anywhere.


When the speaker was asked who these two were and whether they knew that they would have to sit down, Comrade. Grudinin replied that among his friends everyone is clean. The presenters said that then the Singapore option would not work. It was funny.4. Corruption is very easy to eradicate. How? Yes, Saakashvili was eradicated literally in five years, why are we worse? And also Lee Kuan Yew. Oh, this favorite of Latynina and Ganapolsky! All you need is to put two friends in prison.


5. We need to be friends with Ukraine, peace to the world. To the question of what to do if Ukraine does not want to be friends, Comrade. Grudinin replied that they would meet there with the communists and come up with something.


6. To the question of how to build relations with the United States, Comrade. Grudinin said that he does not decide everything himself, for that he will have a Minister of Foreign Affairs.


7. To the question about the specific economic program of Comrade. Grudinin said that it doesn’t exist yet, but that they are about to gather all the best economists, sit down and write something businesslike.


8. We went to Afghanistan in vain, otherwise the USSR could have lived.


9. It’s time to put an end to Russia’s imperial habits and ambitions. It's uncomfortable in front of people. It's better to produce a lot of things.


10. Crimea is Russia. But what to do with those in the West who do not agree with this, comrade. Grudinin doesn’t know yet. In addition, he will have a foreign minister.


11. When asked whether Comrade Grudinin would create a successful enterprise not on the border of the Moscow Ring Road, but in the Altai Territory, it was said that, of course, it’s businesslike. There are such enterprises with communist leaders and other leftists (the question - why then these comrades are not nominated for president, after all, they did exactly what Grudinin did, in more difficult conditions - no one asked).


12. The main thing is not to steal, and even in our vicious and terrible system you can be successful.


13. It is necessary to revive the Politburo (or the State Council) - Comrade Grudinin will listen.


In short, if we take nationalization, soldering irons, Crimea and the Politburo out of the equation, then Navalny stood in front of me. This is exactly what Navalny usually says, Grudinin also said all this. “Saakashvili, Lee Kuan Yew, imperial ambitions, the main thing is not to steal, Luxembourg is great.”


Unless Grudinin did not insult the president and did not challenge him in caricatures.


My husband noticed that Comrade. Grudinin reminded him of some producers. Who will gather the scriptwriters in their office and say:


“In short, there is a crazy proposal. Make a comedy. Great. The quality is like “Tootsie”, and so that there is a tradition of watching it every year, like “Irony”» . With a budget like an art house, but with box office fees like Titanic» . The main thing, as you can see, I came up with, all that remains is to discuss the details - the story, the plot, the dialogues. Who will have any suggestions?


But I can note that in general comrade. Grudinin, of course, is much more like Boris Nikolayevich than Navalny. That one looks pathetic, but this one looks imposing. "Strong businessman." I remember everyone said with respect about Boris Nikolaevich in the late eighties that he was a builder. “He’s a builder, he’ll build our country.”



When Udaltsov says that it is Grudinin who will gather the entire opposition around himself, then this is quite possible, yes. Plus it will bite off many of the loyalists, this is also true.


About the elections, Grudinin and how they will hold Maidan in Russia

Grudinin admitted that he transferred money abroad, and it is still there

But here we are watching a video that was clearly made “for Grudinin” - we won’t say that we didn’t sit under the bench as ordered, but a certain “journalist” reads his “sharp and uncompromising” questions from a piece of paper, and Grudinin simply peacocks to the fullest. ..

In general, a more than complimentary video.

Let's watch from the 12th minute.

Dear mother, what is this, a confession?

The communist presidential candidate (!) has accounts abroad! Moreover, it is accounts that Grudinin speaks in the plural.

How the director of the Lenin state farm sold Turkish strawberries under the guise of Moscow region ones

Nikolay Zimin

Successful agricultural enterprises are rare in Russia. Therefore, the story of every successful person always attracts special attention. And often upon careful examination it turns out that this success is very specific. For example, the Lenin state farm in the near Moscow region, which produces fruits and vegetables, has been among the best enterprises in the Russian agricultural sector for a decade and a half. In reality, the formula for his success seems to have been copied from those pages of old Western history textbooks, which talk about the slave labor of foreigners, the dispossession of peasants and dubious transactions with the supply of foreign fruit.

According to the proverb, it is not the place that makes the man. But the main factor in the success of an agricultural enterprise is always the location of its land. The closer the fields, greenhouses, or poultry farms are to the consumer, the lower the delivery costs, the higher the capital turnover and sales level. It was this elementary truth of capitalism that helped the former Soviet state farm named after Lenin in the dashing 90s. The state farm's land is located literally just outside the Moscow Ring Road in the Leninsky district of the Moscow region. And a huge sales market is on the other side of the ring road. The state farm now has almost two thousand hectares of reclaimed land, its own herd of 800 cows, its own refrigerators and an apple orchard. Among the state farm's partners is the German company Ehrmann, which buys milk for yoghurts. The head of the state farm, Pavel Grudinin, is by no means a mossy red director. He willingly gives interviews, participates in radio and television programs, and likes to comment on government actions. Grudinin does not like criticism addressed to him. Moreover, not at all because of arrogance. It’s just that every negative fact noticed by the sharp eye of a visiting ill-wisher can turn into a large-scale revision for a successful agricultural industrialist. And at the end of such events, interviews are usually not given.

Land for the bourgeoisie?

The slyness here is hidden even in the name. The State Farm named after Lenin, of course, is not a state farm at all. According to Pavel Grudinin, the name was invented to preserve the previous “brand”, which was known to many Muscovites. This is an ordinary capitalist CJSC - that is, a closed joint stock company. Its history is very interesting and fascinating. In the early 90s, the former state farm, like all similar enterprises, fell into a period of crisis. Grudinin worked there from the beginning of the 80s, and in the 90s he was already deputy director for commercial affairs. It was with his direct participation that the deal for the sale of 5.6 hectares of collective farm land, overlooking the intersection of Kashirskoe Highway and the Moscow Ring Road, was completed.

The buyer was the company “Crocus International” of the famous Azerbaijani businessman Aras Agalarov, who built a store of the “Your House” chain on it - one of the most successful commercial real estate projects of this company. The land seemed to be sold for $1,500 per hundred square meters, but this is according to Grudinin himself.

Experts, by the way, say that “one hundred square meters on the Moscow Ring Road” can reach a price of 100 thousand conventional units... Where the “declared” 840 thousand dollars went is also not clear.

According to the official version, this money was used to pay off debts and purchase new technologies. However, immediately after the sale of the land, the government changed at the state farm - the former director Pyotr Ryabtsev voluntarily resigned, and the meeting of artel members elected 35-year-old Grudinin as the new leader. According to rumors, Ryabtsev was “asked” to resign because he was aware of all the previous manipulations with the lands of the state farm (the red director rented them out, etc., which was previously reported by the Kommersant newspaper)

Having become the director of the state farm, Grudinin immediately took power into his own hands so that Ryabtsev’s times seemed like paradise to some workers. In general, the clever forerunner of the “effective managers” of the 2000s managed to deceive naive villagers like in a game of thimble. First of all, Pavel Grudinin declared a legal war on those peasants who, on the basis of Boris Yeltsin’s decrees, received 15 acres of collective farm land per family member.

They were offered to return the plots back, but under a plausible pretext - in the form of a contribution to the share capital of the Lenin State Farm CJSC created in 1995. Having lost the land they received, they became shareholders. At the same time, the state farmers were persuaded - in order to protect themselves supposedly from “raiders” - to enshrine in the charter a provision stating that state farm land could only be sold at a price of $1,500 per hundred square meters. This is despite the fact that the lands remained for agricultural purposes and were not converted for housing construction, which made such a price absurd in the conditions of that time.

But the peasants believed. And, as a result, they lost both their lands and the securities they received. After all, what are shares if we are talking about a tiny share of the authorized capital that went to each of the members of the artel? Today they are there, tomorrow they are not, and it is clear that sooner or later they will go to the one who has more money. It is not difficult to guess who managed to accumulate most of them. - At the beginning, in 1995, the shareholders were 526 shareholders, employees of the state farm. And now there are 40 of them left, the majority of shares are in the hands of managers, chief specialists,” Pavel Grudinin honestly admitted in one of his interviews in 2010. At the same time, Grudinin himself, according to his information, has about 40% of the shares.

Simply put, the top management of the company, headed by the director, gradually bought up shares from almost 90 percent of shareholders. So the peasants near Moscow lost their land completely.

Quiet and pay

Pavel Grudinin explains his concern for state farm land and peasants with lofty goals: the desire to maintain production, achieve wage growth, give people a future, and so on. Outwardly, everything looks like this: wages on the state farm have increased, the village has grown with new houses, and the milk yield of the cows has increased three to four times. True, the sociable director of the state farm prefers not to brag about some things. For example, Grudinin is unlikely to talk about the fact that most of the apartments in which were sold to “third-party investors.” Or, say, he will reveal the state farm’s participation in the affairs and capital of some commercial enterprises, such as the Kashirsky Dvor shopping complex and the Kashirka Mall shopping center. And the main production secret of the “communist” enterprise can be considered a scheme for importing imported berries, often of genetically modified origin, into the Russian capital.

According to representatives of law enforcement agencies, the state farm’s natural partner in this difficult task was representatives of organized crime, who had long ago moved away from the primitive schemes of “tent racketeering” and, with their modest efforts, ensured the country’s food security. True, in my own way. It's simple. In words, the state farm is positioned as the largest producer of the so-called “garden strawberries”, which are sold to capital residents under the guise of familiar strawberries. But growing vegetables and berries in the conditions of the Moscow region when importing such products from Turkey, Poland, Morocco, Spain and Egypt is not economically feasible. Actually, this is why large Russian greenhouse farms, like Belaya Dacha, are acquiring farms in the Kuban.

The reason, of course, is the climate, high energy costs, and the need to have large refrigeration capacities - after all, it is impossible to keep the same berries without a refrigerator for more than one day in the summer, the goods will be lost. But it can be imported from Turkey. The scheme has long been established: supplies of imported berries from Turkey and Poland, the cost of which during transit is underestimated by 2-3 times, and their weight in trucks is also underestimated, ends up in Russia, where it is cleared through customs with a minimum tax base, and then through a fly-by-night company to the final seller. The criminals' good connections in Turkey allow them to negotiate the supply of cheap berries. Of course, no one looks at their certification and how they are grown. Then the berries pass through the state farm, where their packaging is re-labeled, and then they go to retail chains. Such a scheme allows not only to make a profit from the sale of imported berries, becoming a stronghold for their smuggling in the Moscow region, but also to underestimate the tax base. As a result, this gives up to 70-80 million “gray” rubles per season.

Actually, Grudinin himself let slip about the overly advanced methods of “growing” delicate berries in an interview with the newspaper “Novye Izvestia”. “In May, under the guise of our strawberries, they sold Turkish strawberries...” the director of the state farm complained in June of this year.

It seems that there was a technical glitch: “state farm” strawberries, in theory, ripen only in June. In our opinion, the director of the state farm made another mistake when ordering containers: every year the state farm should buy up to 150 thousand branded wooden boxes for strawberries alone, but for some reason they don’t do this. And Grudinin’s main mistake was some arrogance. Initially, the sale of berries was established through the Auchan and Metro hypermarket chains.

However, then the cooperation was suddenly broken off, and the state farm refused to supply its products there. Grudinin’s same “informal partners” had to sell the strawberries, planting, for show, a dozen retail tents along the roads.

Fruits, not people

However, Grudinin’s peasants did not refuse to sell on the side of the road. That's the way things are here. And the workers understood that the real reason for the severance of relations with Auchan and Metro, of course, was not low purchasing prices. Being, in fact, foreign companies, they requested certificates from the state farm for the products supplied to them, which, as you might guess, the “effective” manager did not refuse. True, no big scandal came out of this. By a strange coincidence, the regulatory authorities did not notice anything. And the state farm boss, having gathered his “plowmen and carpenters,” explained all the troubles as the machinations of competitors.

Of course, now state farm workers no longer have to sell imported berries by hand. According to some reports, “Moscow region strawberries” are already supplied to large hypermarkets in Moscow.

But the position of ordinary workers still remains unenviable. We are, of course, not talking about “show peasants”, each of whom receives a manager’s salary. We believe that the main work on the state farm is performed by temporarily hired workers. This summer alone, about three thousand people worked hard on strawberry plantations every day. And in a year, up to 20 thousand pensioners, foreign guest workers, children and teenagers pass through the state farm...

Child labor is especially in demand - and you need less space and food, but children’s hands don’t remember strawberries... No contracts, no provision of identification documents, no sanitary checks... In the sweet taste of “Moscow region” berries, it is difficult to notice the bitterness of virtually forced labor labor. And law enforcement and regulatory authorities treat the new Russian landowners with loyalty that is surprising even by Russian standards.

Pavel Grudinin is a supporter of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, shares socialist principles, and the Lenin state farm itself is called “an island of socialism.” Impressive strawberries and other berries, as well as fruits and vegetables are grown here. And all the profits received are invested in the modernization of production and the social sphere. Workers receive an average salary of 78 thousand rubles, an increase in pensions and an installment plan for housing. Their children go to castle kindergartens and an ultra-modern school, which were built with funds from the enterprise.

We asked Pavel Grudinin himself about how it is possible in the modern world of capital to live under socialism and prosper when, together with the deputy of the Legislative Assembly of Karelia from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Evgeny Ulyanov, as part of his working trip, we visited the Lenin state farm.

For the communist Ulyanov, who defends socialist principles in management, there was nothing surprising in the work of the state farm - the deputy had previously stated more than once that the Soviet experience should be used at the level of managing enterprises in Karelia and managing the region. But everything turned out to be new to us. Hence the questions we asked Grudinin, and the most important one: what is the secret of such success?

“What is the secret? It’s very simple. You can drive money offshore, you can build palaces for yourself, buy yachts, diamonds and golden toilets, as oligarchs and corrupt officials do. Or you can distribute it fairly among everyone, as it was in Soviet times. In fact, even in our capitalist world and in our realities, this is possible. You just need to think not only about yourself, but also about people, and be guided by the main principle: “Don’t lie and don’t steal!” says Pavel Grudinin.

"Agriculture was simply strangled"

- Pavel Nikolaevich, how do you manage to stay afloat and exist comfortably with your not very primary product - strawberries? Agriculture is not an oil and gas or energy industry. And you have miracles at every step... We don’t have agriculture as such in Karelia. The question is already being raised: why do we need a specialized ministry if everything has been killed?

Yesterday I had a visiting meeting of the State Duma Committee on Agrarian Issues here. 20 deputies arrived, I showed them our new robotic farm, plantations, and social facilities. Then they had an extended meeting in which I participated. And the question was asked: what needs to be corrected for agriculture to develop? So, I think that everything needs to be corrected.

There is a very simple and intelligible recipe: do not steal and do not lie. A larger number of state farms in the Moscow region ceased to exist because they were seized by oligarchs, and then the enterprises were closed, people were kicked out onto the streets, and the land was sold. Or you can do it like we do. We invested all the money in production and the social sphere. That is, they didn’t take it abroad, didn’t spend it on their loved ones, but did it for everyone - they started building houses, kindergartens, schools, etc. We produce European-level harvests. We bought new English technologies, invested money in soil fertility and we get 400 centners of potatoes per hectare, and more than 1000 centners of cabbage. We sell strawberries directly. If we sold it to a reseller, it would be 120-150 rubles per kilogram. And we get 300-330 rubles. Naturally, all the money remains with us.

How did we dispose of them? They gave it to people - our average salary is 78 thousand rubles. You can, of course, give the money to shareholders, but we decided that we are not paying dividends, but are raising everyone’s salaries. High wages, apartments in installments, no interest - as a result, people do not flee.

Around the world, agriculture is financed from two sources: from food buyers and from the state, which supports agriculture in different ways. In Europe, for example, additional payments are provided from 300 to 900 euros per hectare - so that these hectares are plowed, mowed, and harvested. Americans do things differently. They calculate a fair price and, if the price falls below cost, they pay extra or stimulate consumption by issuing free food stamps. That is, the farmer always has sales. And the farmer doesn’t need anything else. In America, an agricultural production law is passed every five years. It consists of 800 pages and gives all preferences to farmers, who have become one of the richest segments of the population in the United States.

And in our country, with an average salary of about 20 thousand rubles, agricultural producers have actually become beggars. The state program adopted by the government states that the salary of an agricultural worker should be 55 percent of the salary in the city. Can you imagine what this is?! How can you force a young specialist into the village, to whom the state has told: your salary will be half that of the city!? The state itself has made it so that it is unprofitable to live in agriculture.

There is a lot of talk about co-financing of agriculture by the state and the region. But what is co-financing? If the money does not come from the region, then it is impossible for the farmer to receive it from the federation. The poor budgets of the federal subjects cannot finance agriculture. As a result, co-financing is practically unavailable, and many regions do not receive federal money. The governor, first of all, needs to provide doctors, teachers, and agriculture in 10th or 20th place.

- That is, agriculture is financed on a residual basis?

Certainly. He was strangled. Bank support and issuing loans are not support. Large agricultural holdings and medium and small producers stand in the same row. Who gets the lion's share of government support? Of course, large agricultural holdings, which find it easier to hire lawyers, collect documents, and persuade officials (we know about bribes and kickbacks).

One official recently said that the rural development program was reduced by almost half, and by 2020 it will decrease by 65 percent. Officials talk loudly about their plans, but do not finance them; funding keeps going down. What is 7 billion rubles a year for a rural development program? Despite the fact that Colonel Zakharchenko alone was found to have 8 billion in his safe... Another example is the Zenit Arena stadium worth almost 50 billion. 40 million people live in rural areas. And they have 7 billion. If you divide it, you get 175 rubles per person, ridiculous money. Apparently, something happened to the authorities.

The communists say for a reason that at least 10 percent of the state budget must be allocated to agriculture. Where there are no roads, where medicine and education are “optimized”, people will not go. So it turns out - devastation of territories. Because it is impossible to live in the village.

"The businessman today is always wrong"

- You said that the main thing is not to lie and not to steal. Can your model be used to manage a region or country?

Of course you can. Governors need to get together and say: let's do what they did in Germany, for example. That is (and Yevgeny Primakov spoke about this) 50 percent of all taxes without exception will be left to the territories. Now the most collected taxes work for the federation, while those not collected go to the region. As soon as the region begins to earn a little, this too is taken away from it - just like from Tatarstan.

Until federal budget and tax legislation changes, we will have impoverished territories. The government will issue money on occasion: is it your holiday, the 100th anniversary of the republic? - we'll give you some money. We have constant informal relations between business and government, between citizens and government. It is not normal.

Now everyone is talking about structural reforms, but they are not happening. Today, a businessman is always wrong - there are so many taxes and administrative procedures that it is impossible not to make a mistake. We introduced weight control. For example, a milk tanker is passing through the scales. The milk naturally dangles in it. Accordingly, the load on the axle changes, and the weight on the scales may change. And for being overweight, the fine is quite large - 500 thousand. And it turns out that the farmer will earn 100 thousand on milk, and will pay a fine five times more.

In all countries of the world, diesel fuel for tractors is cheaper than for cars. Because the price of fuel includes road tax. But tractors don’t drive on the roads. And all over the world they understand that they do not have to pay road tax. And our price is the same!

Or let's take manure. This is a substance of the fifth hazard class. If you do not recycle it, you will have to pay a fine from 200 thousand to 1.3 million rubles. But there is no money for equipment for processing manure. That's why everyone breaks the law. And they pay a fine. What was the state thinking when it wrote such a law? If you come to Europe, the state will pay for such biogas plants. You will generate electricity, deliver it to the network for 30 euro cents, and receive it back from the network for 18. Thus, with the help of processing, farmers receive free electricity and additional profit. But our approach is this: we don’t know how you will get out, go to the bank for a loan at 15 percent, but dispose of the manure. Otherwise we will fine you. I can give you such examples... We will sit all day.

Everywhere you need "Uncle Fedya"

- How to get out of this vicious circle?

Firstly, you need to take power into your own hands (in a legitimate way, I’m not talking about a revolution). Secondly, redesign the system. Even under these conditions, republics such as Tatarstan, Bashkiria, and the Belgorod region are getting out of it. But they are rich, they have resources - some have oil, some have agriculture.

- But there is nothing in Karelia. Previously there was forest and agriculture, the region provided for itself, but now there is almost nothing.

This is not only in Karelia. The result is that people leave for large cities because it is impossible to live in the countryside. No matter how much a person earns, if there is no clinic, school, or kindergarten nearby, he will leave. There is a concept of crisis management. Why do I say that I don’t envy regional leaders? Either they must bow to the federal authorities (and this is difficult to do if you have your own opinion) or get out and form “growth points.” All sorts of obligations were piled on them and all resources were taken away. You had an excellent example of a “getting out of it” leader - the director of the Kondopoga plant Federmesser, we have very similar approaches.

- Residents of Kondopoga still remember “Uncle Fedya” with kind words...

- “Uncle Fedya” built a system that people were happy with. It cost him money, but he could afford it because he made good money. Why did the city develop under him, but now it cannot? Because the money began to be stolen. We have a very strong role of personality in history, everything depends on the person. I’m the same “Uncle Fedya” here. My salary is not bad, but I can get 50 times more. But then there would be nothing that you saw here. What does it mean to spend one and a half billion on one school and half a billion on a kindergarten? They would say: you are a fool, instead your children and grandchildren would be provided for for life! That's what oligarchs do.

- But someone might say that building kindergartens-castles is overkill.

This is a very interesting thing. Some people say that we need to build cheaply. Maybe schools should be built according to a single design, but kindergartens should not be built. You mold a child, he should live in a fairy tale. And we proceeded from this. My idea has been brewing for a long time. Look, each of the members of the Ozero cooperative, major officials and oligarchs has their own Versailles. Why does he need three thousand square meters and thirty rooms? I have one friend who is looking for a wife in the house by phone... If you work constantly, why? Here is your bedroom, kitchen, toilet, living room to receive people. Why do you need a huge yacht if you work constantly, because working on a yacht is inconvenient? Why do you need a gold toilet if you can use a ceramic one? I think this is due to a lack of culture. Redneckness has come to power.

We spent one and a half billion on the school, but at the same time we did everything the teachers wanted. In the Moscow region, other large businessmen are also investing in education, building schools, on which they spend more money. But they don’t do it that way, it’s a different concept. Their concept is to take 100 thousand rubles a month from each child, but with us everything is free. German Gref (head of Sberbank, which is building a school with its own funds - author's note) came here, looked at the school, then said that he almost fired all his builders...

When you walk yourself and control, of course, it works out better. Our school has an area of ​​18,300 square meters, while Gref has 24 thousand. He, too, must surrender on September 1, and we don’t know what will happen. He was amazed to see that there was anti-traumatic coating on the stairs, soundproofing equipment, and unconventional engineering solutions - and he began to redo a lot of things at home. It is no secret that businessmen save on schools, and the amounts per square meter are the same as ours, and even more. How can I explain to them that they shouldn’t save on others for their own sake, because you can’t take anything with you to the next world?

You need to analyze everything, try to understand how bad or good everything is. If you are a boss and you have money, you don’t have to meet with the population. But if there is no money, you need to go to people and explain your position. It’s like in a family: one wants to watch football on TV, the other wants to play with a ball, and you have a choice - either buy a TV or buy a ball. There is only enough money for one thing, and someone will still be unhappy. It’s the same here: if you allocate a meager pie between teachers, doctors, and pensioners, someone will be dissatisfied. So you have to make sure that everyone gets together and makes their own decisions.

“If you fence yourself off with a fence, your enterprise is ruined”

- Do you admit that the method you use today for your economy is essentially Soviet? Is this a planned economy?

Soviet method. We plan everything, but in our country it is difficult. You don’t know that in six months they are conducting some “Plato” or some kind of collection for trade. You cannot in any way calculate the cost, because once the price of the euro has gone up, and all our component costs, unfortunately, are imported; their prices have doubled. If you can’t calculate the cost, you don’t know the final prices for the products.

Why is socialism and our economy called a people's enterprise? Because we spend all the money we earn on improving the welfare of workers, on modernizing production and on social programs. The shareholders decided that they would not receive dividends and all the money would be distributed among the employees. You built a kindergarten, a school, a park - and not only your children went there, but also the children of the workers, all under the same conditions. If you live in the same house where your employees live, you think about housing and communal services, utility bills, and cleaning the area in exactly the same way. These are socialist principles.

But if you fenced yourself off or bought a house in Spain and command from there, then that’s it, your enterprise is ruined. Because the antagonism between managers and ordinary workers is growing. You have to think about people first of all, and not show off.

So you ask, is it possible to survive under capitalism like ours? Yes, you can. But you must actually become independent: not take loans, not be in debt to anyone, pursue a social policy so that the workers love and appreciate you, and be with them all the time.

Hello dear friends! Recently I received very interesting information. There is a version that the Lenin State Farm does not belong to Pavel Grudinin and shareholders, but to the famous oligarch Roman Abramovich and his company. I have already received several letters by telegram and email asking for clarification on how this happened. Let's figure it out together, is this really so?

What does Abramovich have to do with it?

The information goes something like this: in fact, Pavel Nikolaevich Grudinin is not the founder of the State Farm, but only general director, i.e. hired worker. In turn, State Farm Lenin is the founder of CJSC Management Company “Sovkhoz named after. Lenin+". And the already mentioned Management Company belongs to JSC Registrar R.O.S.T., which in turn allegedly belongs to Roman Abramovich.

Enterprise named after the Leader

In modern Russian legislation there are no state and collective farms. Enterprise named after Lenin, led by P. Grudinin, is actually Closed Joint Stock Company (CJSC). Full name: CJSC State Farm named after Lenin. Those. This is a commercial legal entity created in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. There is no contradiction here. The organizational and legal form of Grudinin’s enterprise is a joint-stock company, not a “state farm.” “State Farm” is part of the name of the enterprise; this word expresses not so much the organizational and legal form of the legal entity, but rather the essence and content of the enterprise. By the way, this circumstance is does not hide and does not violate the law. Moreover, in Russia it is impossible to register a legal entity in the form of a “state farm”, and the form of a joint stock company is suitable for “state farm” activities.

To verify the above, you need to open Unified State Register of Legal Entities:

Thus, it becomes clear What is "Lenin State Farm"?

I would like to note right away that any information provided can be checked independently. To do this, you must use an official government source. Such a source is the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (register of legal entities). Link on the registry here. You can search for information by INN, OGRN or company name.

Management company named after Lenin with a + sign

The full name is CJSC Management Company State Farm named after Lenin+. To understand what kind of company this is and why it might be needed, we again need to contact the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

According to the register, the company was founded by the Lenin State Farm (Grudinin). In other words, this company was originally created by the Grudinin State Farm. The company is engaged in real estate management.

If you go to the official website of the Management Company, it becomes clear that it is engaged in the management and maintenance of the common property of apartment buildings in the Moscow region.

Holder of the list of shareholders

Any joint stock company is required to maintain a register of shareholders. This must be done either independently (if possible) or with the assistance of a professional registrar.

JSC “Registrar R.O.S.T” maintains the register of shareholders (is the holder) of the Management Company “Sovkhoz named after. Lenin +".

At the same time, Lenin State Farm (Grudinin) is also a joint-stock company, but does not have a register holder, and maintains it independently (this conclusion can be drawn from the state extract of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities).

In fact, everything is simple here. As was said above, A joint stock company is required to maintain a list of its shareholders. This can be done either on one's own, or by attracting professional securities register holder(registrar).

State Farm Grudinina does not involve third-party organizations (registrar) to maintain a list of its shareholders (there is no corresponding information in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities). And the Management Company “Sovkhoz Lenina+” is attractive.

The fact is that Grudinin’s Enterprise has the human resources and capabilities to maintain its register, but the Managing Organization, apparently, does not have such an opportunity. At the same time, the Management Company (if it cannot maintain it independently) is obliged to entrust the maintenance of its register only to a legal entity that has a special license.

The R.O.S.T registrar has the appropriate license:

At the same time, the Registrar provides a commercial service, does not have the right to independently dispose of shares, and acts strictly in accordance with the law.

Registrar R.O.S.T has representative offices (branches) in many cities of Russia and provides services to a huge number of legal entities on a professional and permanent basis.

The above can be expressed schematically in the table

I will answer popular questions:

  1. Since the holder of the share register is a certain legal entity (JSC R.O.S.T), does this mean that this legal entity is the owner of the shares?
    Answer: no, that doesn't mean it. After all, the registrar is the holder list of shareholders, and not the shares themselves.
  2. What does it mean to be a registrar, owner of a list of shareholders?
    Answer: this means providing a paid commercial service for storing and maintaining a list of shareholders. No more!
  3. Who is the owner of the Lenin State Farm?
    Answer: someone who owns shares in a given company.
  4. Does Roman Abramovich or JSC R.O.S.T own shares in State Farm?
    Answer: No!

conclusions

As you can see, no oligarchs or Abramovichs own State Farm. Registrar R.O.S.T provides professional service Managing organization on maintaining the register of shareholders. At the same time, Lenin State Farm does this independently.

If you stretch it by the ear, then you can draw any conclusions from facts that are not related to such conclusions.

I can give you this example: you have a commercial company, and I will provide you with legal services. This doesn’t mean that I will become the owner of your company! And someone may draw exactly this conclusion.

In fact, speculation occurs on the basis of legal misunderstanding and the desire of some citizens to “find incriminating evidence” where there is none and cannot be!

Or another example: if I have a current account with Alfa-Bank, this does not mean that the money in the account belongs to Mikhail Fridman! The money belongs to me and I manage it, and Alfa-Bank receives a fee for servicing the account!

Therefore, no Abramovich has anything to do with Lenin State Farm!
