The biggest scandal, in connection with which the name of Pevsner is mentioned, was the purchase and management at OJSC "Voskresenskie Mineral Fertilizers". Headed by Pevzner and Sergey Melnikov Company "Agroprodmir" gained control of VMF in early 2006, and by the end of the year the company profit fell 67 times, almost to zero. In 2007, profits fell by 22%. During the presence of the group "Agroprodmir" prices for the products of a phosphorus series increased by 4-5 times on the factory, in a nitrogen series - 2.5-3 times. And the cost of gas, electricity and apatite concentrate - about twice.
The company was squeezed to the end, depreciation of equipment reached 100%, and real wages in manufacturing fell by 50-70%. No plan for the reconstruction and the introduction of innovations has not been fulfilled.

Pevzner and his companion on their own discretion spent money, stipulated on the reconstruction of a plant. Thus, the funds to replace the ammonia column Pevsner spent for the purchase of houses in Burgas (Bulgaria). Pevzner and Melnikov promised a former shareholder "Fosagro" an option on 22% of the shares, but due to the increase of fertilizer prices, Pevsner did not have even thought to share the dividends with the new shareholders. First, a package that could move the former owners, has been reduced from 22 to 14% by emission of new shares, and then the package of new co-owners was decommissioned from the depository account so they could not reach them. Ballyhoo, raised by claims, filed in April 2008 by the main shareholder of "Voskresenskie mineral fertilizers" Austrian company Uritrans Dunge-mittelhandelsges to the Moscow Arbitration Court to terminate the contract with the company "Fosagro", which has decided to exercise the right to buy-back package 14%, covers the operation of moving foreign shares.

What is the ground for the dump of phosphogypsum in the modern sense? This is a complex engineering construction of several dozen hectares, which has a hydro-tight, actually airfield coating, capable of withstanding the pressure of millions of tons of phosphogypsum without deformities and fractures. To ensure that the company has a clear perspective on 25 - 30 years, in the construction of the landfill by 18 - 20 million tons of phosphogypsum need to spend $ 40 - 50 million. Then we can think about the modernization of the plant. But the owners of "Agroprodmir" preferred to output profits from VMF, using offshore trading scheme, through their Austrian firm Uritrans GmBH. The rapid growth of prices on the production of VMF in 2007 - 2008, when the cost of traditional ammonia-phosphorus reached $ 1,200 per ton (currently around $ 300), allowed withdrawing at least $ 350 million - $ 400 million from the company. At the peak of prices, when the company in offshore trading brought $ 20 million profit per month, in May 2008, businessmen sold it to the owner of holding "Uralkhim" Dmitry Mazepin. The group "Agroprodmir" ceased operations in Russia, and Semen Pevzner and Sergey Melnikov left for permanent residence in Austria, where they own a firm Uritrans GmBH.
