Family
Let's start with Andrei Kozitsyn's close relatives. According to the SPARK system, Elena Kozitsyna, the widow of Alexander Kozitsyn, who died in January 2009, is now a co-founder of O'DAR LLC. The company was registered back in 2005 by Alexander and Elena Kozitsyn, as well as Tatyana Gushchina, who was a longtime business partner And confidant brothers-businessmen (she is a co-owner and CEO of many firms in Verkhnyaya Pyshma engaged in retail food products, confectionery etc.).
The largest contribution was made by the Kozitsyn family - 570 thousand rubles. Gushchina's contribution was 65 thousand rubles. This company owned shopping mall Kuprit, as well as enterprises Catering- cafe "Metallurg" and cafe "Kuprit". Now the co-founders of this LLC in equal shares are Tatyana Gushchina and Elena Kozitsyna. In addition, they together own Neo-Dar LLC.
In addition, Elena Kozitsyna is a co-founder of Proculesto, a financial intermediary company registered in Verkhnyaya Pyshma at 1 Osipenko Street. Two other firms are located at the same address. The first is LLC "Grace", which is also listed as a widow. The firm works in the field of law, and the post of general director in it is Dmitry Alexandrovich Kozitsyn, probably the son of the late Alexander Kozitsyn.
Another company registered on Osipenko Street is Panorama Plus, the main owner of which is Dmitry Kozitsyn. "Panorama plus" is engaged in metal processing.
Also, Dmitry Alexandrovich is a co-founder at Verkhnepyshminsky Granite Quarry LLC, which is engaged in the extraction of stone for monuments and construction. In addition, Dmitry Kozitsyn is a co-founder of Transgazservice 1 LLC in Yekaterinburg and UralKomplektPostavka LLC, which makes money by renting construction machinery and equipment.
Top managers
Igor Gennadyevich Kudryashkin - commercial director, member of the board of directors of UMMC, has been working in the company since 1995. IN Forbes ranking"200 richest businessmen of Russia - 2013" Igor Kudryashkin takes 163rd place, the size of his fortune according to the magazine is 600 million dollars. Igor Gennadievich heads the board of directors of Koltso Urala bank. It is noteworthy that in February last year, the Ring of the Urals disclosed the structure of the shareholders of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company. As it turned out, Kudryashkin controls a 7.5% stake in UMMC through the offshore Burgend Investments Limited.
In addition, the commercial director of the holding is a co-owner of Uralskaya evaluating company”, registered in Yekaterinburg. The company is engaged in business valuation, valuable papers, real estate.
Vladimir Alekseevich Beloglazov - General Affairs Director. Has been with the company since 2001. At the end of January, there were rumors that Andrei Kozitsyn had decided to resign his longtime colleague. According to one version, the reason was the materials on the activities of Beloglazov, prepared by the internal control and audit department. However, the UMMC website still has a page of Vladimir Alekseevich and nothing is officially known about his dismissal. There is an assumption that Beloglazov wrote a letter of resignation, but so far it has not been signed. The top manager is allegedly removed from important issues, but continues to perform representative functions. So, at a recent meeting between the acting governor of the Chelyabinsk region Boris Dubrovsky and the oligarchs, Beloglazov represented the UMMC.
Beloglazov is a co-owner and director of Nikita Corporation LLC, registered in Yekaterinburg. The company is engaged in preparation for the sale and purchase of real estate. He also has a small share in the advertising group - Polygon Print LLC - together with Inna Batalova, the company's CEO. It is curious that in 2002, when Beloglazov held a high post in the Sverdlovsk regional office party "Union of Right Forces", Inna Batalova tried to participate in the elections to the Sverdlovsk Regional Duma, entering the list of candidates from the Union of Right Forces.
Oleg Fedorovich Melyukhov - director of corporate relations and special projects, has been working in the company since 1996. He is a co-owner in the Nizhny Tagil plant of metallurgical structures. In addition, Melyukhov is a co-owner of ZAO Legal Agency Private Law. Also, the share in this company belongs to UMMC - Insurance LLC.
Grigory Nikolaevich Rudoy is the director of mining operations, has been working in the company since 2000. He owns LLC "Intellect-invest", the main field of activity of which is marketing research and the study of public opinion. Unfortunately, not a single study conducted by this company has been found in the public domain.
Sergey Anatolyevich Degtyarev - Chief Accountant has been with the company since 1997. He is a member of the Board of Directors of Koltso Urala Bank. Also, Sergey Anatolyevich is a co-owner in Guardians of the Urals LLC. "Guardians of the Urals" is a project for the construction of two towers in the center of Yekaterinburg, in which the main investor is UMMC.
In addition, Degtyarev is the director and co-owner of Coupe Master LLC, which manufactures furniture. Still behind the chief accountant of the UMMC is Asteroid LLC, which rents out its own real estate. Earlier, the notorious businessman, one of the founders of the "City Without Drugs" Igor Varov and a certain Degtyarev Anton Sergeevich, possibly the son of Sergei Degtyarev, were also among the co-owners. Note that Anton Degtyarev is now part of non-commercial partnership"Association of the owners of the building on Gorky 63". At this address in Yekaterinburg, there is a Class B business center commissioned in 2008.
Valery Veniaminovich Abramov - director of external relations UMMC, as well as - CEO and the owner of OOO NSS (National Insurance Systems), registered in Moscow. Previously, he was a co-owner of the Arsenal Basis private security company, which has now been liquidated. Abramov himself has been working in Moscow in recent months, which is interpreted inside the UMMC as a disgrace, a “link”.
Sergey Evgenyevich Erypalov – Director for Capital Construction and Investments, has been working in the company since 1995. In addition, he heads the Yekaterinburg-CITY company, which is implementing the UMMC project to build a business district in the center of Yekaterinburg.
Sergo-Shahzada Mamadalievich Kurbanov - Deputy General Director, has been working in the company since 1996. In addition, he is a co-owner of Trans Atlantic Group LLC, which is registered in Moscow and is engaged in retail trade in cars and spare parts.
Own business interests of top managers often become the pretexts for scandalous situations within the UMMC, but usually dirty linen is not taken out of the hut. The same Vladimir Beloglazov, sources in the metallurgical industry say, previously oversaw the construction direction in a copper company, but after an internal conflict he was removed from this job. Lost influence and his ally Valery Abramov.
Less obvious than indicated above, a number of suppliers of the holding's enterprises are associated with the top management of UMMC, says one of Znak.com's interlocutors. In this case, the conflict of interests of the top manager and the company becomes obvious: UMMC needs to buy raw materials (for example, scrap) cheaper, and it is profitable for the company controlled by the top manager to sell it at a higher price. Since the decision is made by the same leader, the costs of UMMC enterprises often turn out to be higher than the market, which is why the company suffers. “Now the holding is fighting this phenomenon,” says the interlocutor of Znak.com. “A relatively recent unwritten corporate rule dictates that executives should not engage in outside businesses. In other metallurgical holdings, such a norm has been adopted for a long time.”
The activities of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC) have again provoked harsh criticism from environmentalists, environmentalists told The Moscow Post correspondent. But the owners of the UMMC, according to experts, may have a "corruption connection" with the leadership of Rosprirodnadzor.
Scandal in Yekaterinburg
Once again, the public is outraged by the activities of the holding JSC "Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company". This time the protests of environmentalists and civil activists are heard in Yekaterinburg, where the management of the UMMC decided to dismantle the Yekaterinburg flour mill (EMZ), for which Iskander Makhmudov's holding was preparing almost 5 .
At the same time, not only public figures are sounding the alarm, but also historians and environmentalists - after all, the Yekaterinburg flour mill is one of the largest grain processing enterprises in the Urals, which was built in July 1884 in the center of Yekaterinburg on the left bank of the Iset River. However, now, all historical monuments associated with the YeMZ, according to experts, will be destroyed along with the plant itself. Once EMZ belonged to the people, and now it is controlled by Iskander Makhmudov's holding through UMMC-Agro LLC.
And now the specialists of the contracting organization CJSC "Explosive Special Works" (RVS) will destroy what remains today of the famous "pipe building" - an elevator installed in the 40s of the last century. According to the latest data, experts in the field of ecology and protection of monuments have already complained to the prosecutor's office about the demolition of the YeMZ.
How is UMMC "friendly" with Rosprirodnadzor?
At the same time, Yekaterinburg environmentalists want to involve management in solving the problem of protecting the city's ecology after the demolition of the YMZ Federal Service on supervision in the field of nature management (Rosprirodnadzor).
Lyudmila Plyushch, who received a bribe of 12 million rubles from the UMMC.
After all, this check revealed very serious violations of environmental legislation at Svyatogor. However, the representatives of the UMMC, apparently, did not want to pay the fine, but decided to get off with a bribe from Svyatogor, the amount of which amounted to 11.8 million rubles. According to investigators, the money was transferred by one of the leaders of the UMMC Grigory Rudoy, who even managed to visit the pre-trial detention center, but was suspiciously quickly released from there.
When Plyushch was already in a pre-trial detention center and refused to testify, referring to the 51st article of the Constitution, it turned out that she was a suspect in a number of episodes of bribery throughout the country. In other words, she could receive a “tribute” from the UMMC not only for the episode with Svyatogor, but also when checking other enterprises of the Iskander Makhmudov holding. If we take into account the version that Plyushch may have shared “kickbacks” with Kirillov, then the connection between the leadership of the UMMC and the head of Rosprirodnadzor becomes obvious.
Voronezh Nickel
But Rosprirodnadzor often renders “invaluable services” to Makhmudov’s holding, which can also be “far from gratuitous”. For example, at the end of September 2013 territorial bodies Rosprirodnadzor for Voronezh region“for some reason” they did not reveal any violations in the activities of the subsoil user company Mednogorsk-Copper-Sulfur Plant LLC (MMSK, a subsidiary of the UMMC) in the Novokhopersk district.
But it was precisely this decision that allowed UMMC to continue to carry out work in the area of the Elansky and Elkinsky subsoil areas of federal significance, where large reserves of nickel were discovered.
One of the posters of Voronezh ecologists
Of course, public figures and independent environmentalists have repeatedly held protests against nickel mining in the Voronezh region. At the same time, actions against nickel mining were held not only in the Voronezh region, but also in Moscow.
However, public protests had no effect, and on November 29, 2013, the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company resumed exploration work at a copper-nickel deposit in the Novokhopersky district of the Voronezh region.
Was the arrest of ecologists profitable for UMMC?
However, the protests did not last long, because soon most of the environmentalists who prevented Makhmudov's holding from developing nickel deposits in the Voronezh region were arrested.
So, it seems that the owners of the UMMC are no strangers to “forceful methods”. Apparently, both in the Voronezh region and in other Russian regions, where Makhmudov decided to put things in order, the opponents of his holding will have a hard time. However, environmentalists still do not give up. After all, they have nowhere to go. And environmentalists, according to experts, will still be able to find control over Mr. Makhmudov with the help of international environmental organizations and Russian social movements i.e. civil society. Perhaps the owners of the UMMC will listen to the public, otherwise environmentalists will have to complain about the holding of Iskander Makhmudov directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin with the help of special appeals! He will not leave the inhabitants of the Voronezh region without protection.
Just now I saw one very interesting article, I recommend everyone to read it. Thank you Andrey Rogozhin.
New episodes appear in the criminal case on corruption in Rosprirodnadzor. Investigators suspect that Lyudmila Plyushch, head of the environmental control department, who was arrested two months ago on suspicion of taking bribes, and her colleagues built a whole system of extorting bribes from businessmen. The sphere of interests of the inspectors included the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company, Kuzbassrazrezugol, the Sredneuralsk copper smelter, the Nizhny Tagil Iron and Steel Works.
Lyudmila Plyushch and her deputy Daniil Yakovlev were detained in February of this year in Moscow. According to investigatorsPlyushch, together with Yakovlev, allegedly organized “custom-made” inspections of enterprises whose activities are directly related to nature management. Auditors found violations of environmental legislation and issued multimillion-dollar fines to the management. Later, already for large bribes, fines were canceled or reduced.
According to the investigation, in August 2010 Plyushch received €90,000 for organizing an audit. subsidiary Ural mining and metallurgical company - mining and processing plant "Svyatogor". At the moment when the official was receiving a bribe in the capital's Chaikhona restaurant, two steps away from the Rosprirodnadzor building, she was already being "led" by FSB and MVD operatives.
However, then for some reason they did not detain the official. Later, the investigators found out that the cancellation of the entire Svyatogor fine cost UMMC almost 12 million rubles. This money was transferred in two tranches to the account of a front company controlled by officials of Rosprirodnadzor.
According to investigators, one of the leaders of the UMMC, Grigory Rudoy, transferred the money.
“He was detained along with Plyushch and Yakovlev and has already given detailed confessions,” a source close to the investigation told Izvestia.
A few days ago, Rudoy was released from the pre-trial detention center. Meanwhile, Lyudmila Plyushch, who is in Matrosskaya Tishina, refuses to testify, referring to the 51st article of the Constitution. According to the source, her husband, who holds the responsible position of the head of one of the departments in the Federal Property Management Agency, is trying to help her.
The Izvestia source specifically noted that Lyudmila Plyushch is a suspect in a number of episodes of bribery.
“In addition to the UMMC, such large enterprises as Kuzbassrazrezugol, the Sredneuralsk copper smelter, and the Nizhny Tagil Iron and Steel Works fell into the sphere of interests of Plyushch, which organized the checks,” operatives confirmed to Izvestia.
According to them, the list of companies from which bribes were extorted is not limited to this.
- Operative checks are now going on throughout the country - from Vladivostok to Arkhangelsk and Rostov-on-Don, - the detectives explain.
According to them, the issue of initiating new criminal cases against Plyushch and the heads of companies that brought money to her is now being decided.
Oleg Mitvol, former deputy head of Rosprirodnadzor, notes that Lyudmila Plyushch and Daniil Yakovlev were part of the group of those officials who once sought his resignation from office.
“Now I understand why,” Mitvol says. - I interfered with them. What they did in Rosprirodnadzor is just a nightmare.
At the same time, he recalled that the very appointment of Lyudmila Plyushch to the post of chief ecologist of the country in 2008 looked very strange. At that time, she was only 31 years old, and her experience in the civil service and in the environmental sphere was clearly insufficient. It turned out that the first entry in work book chief ecologist of the country - a cleaning lady in the dermatovenerological dispensary in St. Petersburg.
Marina Vtornikova, an assistant to the head of Rosprirodnadzor, told Izvestia that their department did not comment on the detention of Plyushch and Yakovlev. According to her, this is the prerogative of the investigation. She only noted that at the time of the arrest, both officials were no longer employees of Rosprirodnadzor.

History of development:
In 1975, on the basis of the Pyshminsky copper electrolytic plant, the Uralelectromed plant was created.
In 1992, the plant was transformed into JSC "Uralelectromed", the future parent company of UMMC.
In 1996-1999, the industrial and technological chain of enterprises of the copper sub-industry of the Urals was gradually restored around JSC Uralelectromed, and the process of consolidating the assets of the future holding began.
In October 1999, the founding documents for the creation of the UMMC were signed. A state certificate of registration of OJSC UMMC has been received.
July 1, 2002 established Management Company LLC "UMMC-Holding".
In August 2002, permission was obtained from the Ministry of Antimonopoly Policy for the consolidation of assets 11 largest enterprises companies. From this moment, the implementation of the principle of a single management vertical begins. On key enterprises UMMC, level of consolidation share capital which is determined by a qualified majority, shareholder meetings are held, securing the rights of the management company UMMC-Holding LLC as the sole executive body.
In 2003, with the inclusion of the Vladikavkaz Electrozinc plant into the UMMC, the company turns into a polymetallic holding.
In the autumn of 2006 LLC UMMC-Holding receives the right to manage the assets of one of the largest coal mining companies in Russia - OAO UK Kuzbassrazrezugol.
In 2007, a management company for non-ferrous metal processing enterprises was established.
About the organization:
The company produces about 40% of cathode copper and zinc in Russia, controls a quarter of the domestic market for rolled non-ferrous metals, as well as more than half of the European market for copper powders. According to Vedomosti-Novosibirsk dated May 31, 2007, No. 98 (1872), about 80% of the UMMC shares belong to Iskander Makhmudov and Andrey Kozitsyn, the rest belongs to their partners. The structure of the company includes raw materials, metallurgical, processing, construction, machine-building, electro-technical complexes, a scientific base, a coal mining company, charitable foundation, affiliated companies.
Areas of activity of the organization:
Extraction and processing of copper raw materials and production of refined copper in the form of cathodes; production of high-readiness products from copper and other non-ferrous metals (copper rod, cable products, copper powders, products made from copper powders, non-ferrous metal rolled products, radiators, etc.); extraction of metals contained in copper raw materials (production of gold and silver in ingots of banking purity, production of selenium and tellurium); production of chemical products (sulfuric acid, blue vitriol, nickel sulfate, tripolyphosphate, superphosphate, xanthate); extraction and processing of zinc raw materials, production of zinc and zinc-based products; processing of secondary lead-containing raw materials, production of lead and lead alloys; booty iron ore and production of iron ore concentrate; production of rolled steel and calibrated steel; coal mining; production of building products (bricks, etc.); implementation of projects for the development of residential buildings, retail and office space; Agriculture; galvanizing services for metal structures.
The competition for the development of the Elanskoye and Elkinskoye copper-nickel ore deposits in the Voronezh region generated an intrigue that kept the market in suspense throughout the end of May. The media disseminated information that the winner was LLC "Mednogorsk copper and sulfur plant" (MMSK, Orenburg region) in alliance with the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company, which acts as a supplier of investment, scientific and technical base for the implementation of this project. Representatives of Rosnedra refrained from commenting on this issue for a week, not even confirming information about the winner of the competition. It was also unclear how MMSK would develop the deposits, because according to the terms of the competition, the winner had to have its own nickel processing capacities outside the region, while the plant does not have such capacities yet. The answers to all these questions in an interview with the Interfax-Ural agency were given by the mining production director of UMMC-Holding LLC Grigory Rudoy.
In total, three companies participated in the competition, which took place on May 22: MMC Norilsk Nickel, OOO Mining Company of the Urals, and OOO Mednogorsk Copper and Sulfur Combine. Members of the competition committee unanimously recognized the winner as MMSK. This company is a long-term partner of ours and supplies blister copper for our refining facilities. Accordingly, within the framework of cooperation with the plant, we will be able to use the resources of the holding for the development of the Voronezh fields.
- Why, in your opinion, did the commission choose MMSK?
Most likely, the large experience of the enterprise in the processing of non-traditional raw materials and complex ores, which include the reserves of the Voronezh deposits. MMSK specialists are highly qualified in the processing of polymetallic concentrate. But the decisive argument, in our opinion, was the environmental component of the project proposed by the plant. From our point of view, in terms of ecology, the MMSK project looked the most powerful and convincing. And the criterion of environmental cleanliness is the most important and decisive when choosing the winners of such competitions.
- What, in your opinion, are the main environmental benefits of the project?
The main source of environmental load in the construction of mining enterprises is "tailings", that is, waste that is generated during the ore dressing. Therefore, the main efforts to minimize the negative impact on environment will be associated with waste reclamation technologies. It is planned to use the so-called "wet" tailings technology. If to speak plain language, the tails in this case will not be dusty, in contrast to the dry method. Mixing with water, they form a wet paste, which is then stored in separate, as it is called on professional language, cards. As they are filled, such maps are recultivated, that is, a layer is filled, fertile layer soil, sown with grass - then they begin to fill the next container. Thus, neither the soil nor the vegetation cover will be harmed. Moreover, part of the tailings - about 40% - will be used for backfilling already completed workings. Again, it turns out wasteless technology.
How will this technology affect water quality?
A closed water circulation system will exclude its discharge. Groundwater pumped out during shaft sinking will be collected in a special sump, and from there it will be used to supply water to the processing plant. The water that will drain from the wet pasta will also fall into the same circulation cycle.
- And how much will this pleasure cost?
As far as we know, the construction of a tailing dump alone costs about 600 million rubles. In total, it is planned to allocate about 3.6 billion rubles, about 7% of the total cost of the project, to address environmental issues. According to our information, this is more than the other participants of the competition offered. This amount includes equipment, instruments, control base, and special channels for blasting to work calmly and not disturb anyone. Explosives will not be transported to production. It will be cooked right on the spot and lowered underground in the form of a liquid. All this is safe and environmentally friendly.
- In general, what will be the field development project? What volumes will the GOK be designed for?
For now, it is too early to talk about it. The fact is that the Elanskoye and Elkinskoye deposits have only forecast reserves. It is possible to start designing the mining enterprise itself and talk about what it will be like only after the reserves are additionally explored, evaluated and approved by the State Reserves Commission (GKZ). According to the terms of the competition, four years are allotted for various kinds of appraisal and geological exploration work. Another five years will take the construction of an underground mine, taking into account the deep occurrence of ores. That is, the first ore can be obtained no earlier than in 9 years.
- Nevertheless, local public activists and environmentalists are already sounding the alarm today ...
If we discard emotions and populist sentiments that are inevitable in such cases, then there is no real reason for concern. First of all, due to those modern and environmentally friendly technologies, which have already been mentioned above. It is all the more strange to hear these accusations today, when no one is going to build or erect anything yet, or even obtain a building permit, since the object itself does not exist as such until the reserves are approved.
On the other hand, one can understand people who, not too well versed in the features of modern mining, express anxiety about the emergence of a large industrial production. I hasten to calm them down. The first step of the MMSC, even before the start of any prospecting and appraisal or exploration work, will be the development, together with the relevant regulatory agencies, of a system for monitoring soil, water and air. In the course of all stages of the project implementation, MMSK specialists, together with employees of regulatory authorities, will take quarterly samples and prepare relevant reports on the current environmental situation in order to prevent any deviations from the natural background. All this information will be open and available.
Another question that worries, first of all, industry analysts and market experts. Neither MMSK nor UMMC, in contrast to the profile Norilsk Nickel, have never dealt with nickel before and do not have the corresponding capacities. How will the issue of its processing be solved? Under the terms of the competition, this should take place outside the Voronezh region.
It is assumed that nickel-copper concentrate from the concentrating plant will be sent to us at the UMMC, at the site of the Polymetal Production in Kirovgrad, this is a division of OAO Uralelektromed. A metallurgical plant will be built there to produce cathode nickel, especially since the necessary infrastructure is already in place. As for copper and metals of the platinum-palladium group, which are also contained in the ore of the Voronezh deposits, this product will be supplied for processing to Verkhnyaya Pyshma at the main site of Uralelectromed.
Is there any investment in social development territories where the deposits are located? How will the issue of employment and jobs be resolved?
According to available this moment It is estimated that the reserves of the deposit will last for 45 years. More than 2 thousand people will work there, 95% of the staff will be staffed by local personnel. At the first stage, there will be a shift camp, then, taking into account the period of mining of deposits, the issue of building permanent housing will be decided. Accordingly, MMSK will build infrastructure, houses. All this will be spelled out in cooperation agreements between the administration of the Voronezh region and MMSK.
