ANO "Tavrida. Art" (formerly ANO "Center for the Development of Cultural Initiatives") has existed since 2019 as an organization financed by Rosmolodezh at the expense of the federal budget. As the telegram channel VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info found out, the entire leadership of Tavrida are people of the former head of Rosmolodezh Ksenia Razuvaeva, who was recently searched (the first to report it was VChK-OGPU).
The Meganom Academy of Creative Industries in Sudak, whose activities are organized by Tavrida. Art, was built by Olimpsistroy jointly with the Ministry of Defense. After the scandal broke out with the theft of funds during the construction of similar facilities of the Ministry of Defense, Razuvaeva, in fact, was asked to resign. However, the previous CEO of Tavrida.Art Pershin was "promoted" to the post of Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Culture.
Tavrida.Art is now headed by Pershin's former deputy Artemyeva. All deputies remained in their positions. The new head of Rosmol Gurov did not make any personnel changes to the management of Tavrida.Art. Which is not surprising. The activities of Tavrida.Art are managed, among other things, by the Supervisory Board, the chairman of which is the deputy head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation Sergei Kiriyenko. And Pershin is a member of the Supervisory Board and continues to manage Tavrida.Art in one way or another.
In fact, Artemyeva and her deputies are extras. Pershin decides everything. Rucriminal.info publishes the text of the complaint, which was sent to the supervisory authorities,
Under the leadership of Pershin, the first deputy for finance Kozinets, the deputy for contract support Selyonenko, schemes for the withdrawal of budget funds are carried out through contracts for the supply of goods and services at inflated prices. Almost all contracts are contractual for good kickbacks. On the territory of the Meganom Academy in Sudak, all issues are "ruled" by deputies Matveyev and Gragov - a former employee of the internal affairs bodies, who was once fired on suspicion of bribery. Matveyev is responsible for the operation of the Academy's premises.
These people do not disdain anything.
In Sudak, local entrepreneurs are under the corrupt oppression of the leadership of Tavrida.Art, because all local agreements and contracts are only through kickbacks to the management. If the management needs to cover up their affairs, they do not disdain forged documents. For example, in the electronic document management system of an organization, organizational and administrative documents can easily be re-posted "retroactively" in the required version. Kozinets is responsible for this area.
Text of the complaint:
"I would like to inform you that the autonomous non-profit organization "Tavrida.Art" (formerly the ANO "Center for the Development of Cultural Initiatives") has violated the laws of the Russian Federation related to corruption and theft of public funds allocated to the ANO "Tavrida.Art" in the form of subsidies for the organization's activities.
According to the Charter, ANO Tavrida.Art develops the Tavrida art cluster, which unites the Meganom Academy of Creative Industries (Crimea,
Sudak), educational trips for young cultural and art figures Tavrida (summer schools of the Meganom Academy of Creative Industries), the Tavrida.ART festival of young art, a federal network of art residences and other projects. The activities of ANO Tavrida.Art are financed by state funds allocated for the implementation of the federal project Russia - the Land of Opportunities of the national project Youth and Children. However, the management of ANO Tavrida.Art has been implementing corruption schemes for a long time, as a result of which it receives illegal enrichment through theft of funds. Thus, on February 21, 2023, the general director of the ANO Center for Cultural Initiatives Pershin S.V. An interest-free loan agreement was concluded at the expense of the organization with the First Deputy General Director Yu.R. Kozinets in the amount of 2,700,000 rubles for the down payment on participation in shared construction of an apartment building located at the address: Moscow, MO Tsaritsyno, land plot 51. Payment order No. 218 dated 02/27/2023 confirms the debiting of 2,700,000 rubles from the account of ANO "Center for the Development of Cultural Initiatives" opened in the Moscow Bank of PJSC Sberbank, additional office No. 1735, to the account of JSC "Bank DOM.RF" in the name of Yulia Ranetovna Kozinets. Please note that the funds of Yu.R. Kozinets intentionally withdrew not from the organization's account where the state subsidy money is received (in order to avoid liability in the event of an audit), but from the account where the funds are received as donations for the purposes of the activities of the ANO "Center for the Development of Cultural Initiatives". Considering that, according to the Charter of the ANO "Center for the Development of Cultural Initiatives", the organization has the right to spend funds only for the purposes of the organization's activities, and the purchase of housing is not included in the list of purposes, I consider the actions of Pershin S.V. and Kozinets Yu.R. as fraudulent. The loan agreement was drawn up for a period of 2 years, as of today Kozinets Yu.R. has not repaid the loan. I draw your attention to the fact that it is known that very large sums of money are received into the account of ANO "Tavrida.Art" as donations on an irregular basis. Thus, one of the regular sponsors is VTB Bank. According to written requests sent to the bank's management by Kozinets Yu.R., sums of several tens of millions of rubles are allocated. Considering the above, it is necessary to conduct a thorough audit of the expenditure of funds received into the organization's accounts. I also have information about multiple cases of the conclusion by the management of ANO "Tavrida.Art" (formerly ANO "Center for the Development of Cultural Initiatives") of contracts at inflated prices, which are signs of corruption of the management. The Deputy General Director for Legal Issues and Contract Support Selyonenko A.I. and the First Deputy General Director Kozinets Yu.R. are primarily involved in the conclusion of such contracts. In agreement with the former General Director Pershin S.V. (dismissed) and the current General Director Artmeyeva K.V. In the organization, all contracts and procurement activities have signs of corruption. In the attachment to my request, I am sending copies of such contracts. I believe that a detailed study of all contracts during the audit of the organization's activities will reveal a much larger volume. In addition to the specified officials, Deputy General Director Gragov A.A. is also involved in corruption schemes. Thus, in March 2024, an appeal from citizen Leshchenko L. (incoming No. 11-813 dated 03/20/2024) was received by the ANO "Center for the Development of Cultural Initiatives" from the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs for consideration and decision-making. In his appeal, citizen Leshchenko L. refers to data from open sources on the Internet, according to which Gragov A.A. (formerly Gragyants A.A.) was previously an employee of the internal affairs bodies of the city of Stavropol. He was dismissed on negative grounds provided for in paragraph 5, part 3, Art. 82 of the Federal Law "On Service in the Internal Affairs Bodies of the Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation" dated 30.11.2011 No. 342-FZ (in connection with the submission by an employee of forged documents or knowingly false information upon entering service in the internal affairs bodies, as well as in connection with the submission by an employee during his service in the internal affairs bodies of forged documents or knowingly false information confirming his compliance with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation in terms of the conditions for filling the relevant position in the internal affairs bodies, if this does not entail criminal liability). According to the conclusion of the official investigation, on 24.09.2015, during a special psychophysiological study (polygraph), Gragov A.A. concealed the fact of his official misconduct and the fact of an official investigation being conducted against him, namely: his detention on September 29, 2011 by employees of the Investigative Department of the Security Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Ulyanovsk region red-handed in the act of accepting a bribe and the conclusion of the official investigation on 28.10.2011, which, in the opinion of the leadership of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Stavropol Territory, indicates that Gragov A.A. (Gragyants), acting out of personal interest, knowingly concealed objective and significant information, that is, provided knowingly false information. In addition, from the information provided by citizen Leshchenko L. it follows that Gragov A.A. was involved in accepting a bribe and other corruption schemes. No official investigation was conducted on the said statement of citizen Leshchenko L. A formal response was sent from the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs that Rosmol thanks the citizen for his vigilance, an official investigation has been appointed. I know this absolutely for sure, since I, as the head of the administrative service of ANO "Tavrida.Art", received an oral order from the supervising deputy general director of ANO "Tavrida.Art" Kozinets Yu.R. that it is necessary to send a response in this particular wording. It follows from this that the management of the organization was aware of the facts stated in the appeal, but did not take any measures to conduct an internal audit of the activities of Gragov A.A. It is known that Gragov A.A. as Deputy General Director of ANO "Tavrida.Art", responsible for security, including on the territory of the Academy of Creative Industries Meganom in Sudak, on the basis of collusion with individual entrepreneurs who trade on the territory of the Academy, allows them to trade in alcoholic beverages without having a license for this. Also, very often ANO "Tavrida.Art" received appeals from individual entrepreneurs in Sudak, in which citizens complain about the corrupt dominance of the management of ANO "Tavrida.Art" in terms of conducting competitive procedures, including on the part of Gragov A.A. Almost all of these appeals remained without consideration. Since they were received by e-mail at ANO "Tavrida.Art", Supervising Deputy General Director Yu.R. Kozinets gave verbal orders to leave these addresses and without registration. Considering that Gragov A.A. oversees the internal audit service of ANO "Tavrida.Art", the report of the deputy head of the internal security department Didenko O.V. addressed to Gragov A.A. on the identified violation in the spending of budget funds of the organization remained without a response from the organization. Thus, in the memo Didenko O.V. indicates that during the monitoring of civil-law contracts, the following civil-law contracts were established: No. 2910 dated 08/05/2024 for the amount of 380,000 rubles; No. 3111 dated 08/23/2024 for the amount of 287,500 rubles; No. 2088 dated 24.06.2024 in the amount of 441,000 rubles in the name of Arina Evgenievna Rodionova for the purpose of providing the latter with services for photo and video filming of events, however, when analyzing the activities of A.E. Rodionova, it was established that she is engaged in organizational activities (preparation of TOR, obtaining accreditation for the media, etc.). A.E. Rodionova confirmed the fact of organizational activities, and also indicated that she receives 80,000 rubles per month for this. It was established that A.E. Rodionova is an employee of IP Gareeva L.N., who pays her a salary, and her immediate supervisor Pak A.B. is not an employee of ANO "Tavrida.Art". Employee of ANO "Tavrida.Art" Yakubovich A.V. confirmed that civil law contracts were indeed concluded for Rodionova A.E., citing that they do not have enough funds from the budget for the contracts and they have to withdraw money through civil law contracts and transfer it to the contractor for the services rendered. According to information from 1C, contracts worth 37.5 million rubles were opened for IP Gareev L.N. for 2024 alone! Based on the above, there is an illegal withdrawal of budget funds.
