“The city faces big challenges in terms of urban development. Konstantin Matveev“he is a professional in his field, and most likely he will continue to work at Mosinzhproekt, but will concentrate on a narrower area,” said M. Khusnullin.
He noted that the personnel changes were due to some health problems of the head of the company.
It was previously reported that the General Director of Mosinzhproekt JSC Konstantin Matveev As of June 6 this year, he will be relieved of his position. Deputy General Director for Construction of Civil Facilities was appointed acting head Mars Gazizullin.
M. Gazizullin has been working at Mosinzhproekt since 2013. Under his direct leadership, the reconstruction of the Helikon-Opera theater was carried out, the reconstruction of the Luzhniki Grand Sports Arena and the construction of Zaryadye Park are currently underway.
Let us remind you that Mosinzhproekt JSC was created in 1995 by the Moscow authorities. Previously, the company specialized in the design of underground structures. With the arrival of the mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin Mosinzhproekt received the functions of customer and general contractor of construction

Immigrants from Tatarstan in the Russian capital are responsible for informatization of government agencies, reforms of the post-Luzhkov system and preparations for the 2018 FIFA World Cup
The recent high-profile appointment of Kazan businessman Kamil Gazizov to be responsible for IT projects of the Rostec state corporation, according to BUSINESS Online calculations, is at least the 30th visit of people from Tatarstan to large Moscow and federal government and business structures in recent times. Numerous appointments suggest that in the capital, along with the St. Petersburg, Krasnoyarsk and other groups of influence, a fairly noticeable Kazan group is also emerging. Experts believe that specialists from Tatarstan are in demand due to their strong lobbying potential and high level of professionalism.
PEOPLE OF KAZAN AT THE FOOT OF THE CAPITAL OLYMPUS
After Kamil Gazizov headed two 100% IT subsidiaries of one of the largest Russian state corporations, headed by a close associate Vladimir Putin Sergei Chemezov, “RT-Electronic Services” and “RT-Inform”, a whole series of publications about the so-called group of “Kazan IT specialists” in near-state structures appeared in specialized media.
Of course, the leader of the group is the ex-Minister of Information and Communications of the Republic of Tatarstan Nikolay Nikiforov, who in May 2012 was appointed Minister of Communications and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation.
In light of Nikiforov’s appointment to the Ministry of Communications, the federal media began to take an active interest in a number of Kazan entrepreneurs and companies close to the new leadership of the ministry. Among them is the venture capital “Startobaza”, headed by Nikiforov’s wife Svetlana(individual projects of the company, such as Avtodoriya or Speakfon, may qualify for replication on a federal scale at the expense of the state budget), and Timur Yakubov, who heads the developer of the EDMS “Praktika”, the Kazan company “Document Management Systems” (this system, by the way, was also implemented in the Moscow government), and the company “Bars Group” Timur Akhmerov, dealing with the automation of government agencies in the regions.
Here we can also mention the company “Inoventika”, controlled by a deputy of the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan Ravil Ziganshin and specializing in cloud services. By the way, one of the shareholders of Inoventika is the above-mentioned company Startobaza.
MARAT AND HIS TEAM
However, the largest (and much less noticeable) migration of Tatarstan officials and specialists in recent years has occurred in the construction sector. Its driver was the appointment of the former chief of the Tatarstan mistroi Marat Khusnullina Vice-mayor in the Moscow government. The arrival of Khusnullin was, in fact, caused by a change of power in the Mother See. Came to the capital in 2010 Sergei Sobyanin it was necessary to clean up the predecessor's team Yuri Luzhkov in order to rely in the future on people who are not integrated into the Moscow elite. It was decided to carry out the change of personnel in an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary way.
One of the most influential and capital-intensive blocs in the Luzhkov government was the construction sector, headed by Grandfather - Vladimir Resin. After the change of power, it was up to the Minister of Construction of the Republic of Tatarstan, Khusnullin, to transfer the construction complex under the control of the new team. BUSINESS Online predicted his move to Moscow back in September 2010. At first, Khusnullin was appointed head of the city construction department at the Moscow City Hall. And from there he smoothly moved to the position of vice-mayor for construction of Moscow.
From that moment on, the arrival of Kazan residents to the Moscow construction complex began, since Khusnullin also needed his team. The movement turned out to be so large-scale (we counted at least 20 people from Tatarstan who moved to responsible positions in the Moscow construction complex) that the federal media actively started talking about it. They dedicated a series of publications to the Kazan phenomenon, some of which were quite scandalous.
Yes, thanks Mikhail Dvorkovich, brother of the Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, the conflict involving the former deputy head of the state examination department of Tatarstan received wide publicity Sergei Sokolov. In January 2011, he headed the state autonomous institution "". Almost immediately, next to Mosgosexpertiza, an office of the Kazan Institute of Independent Expertise (INE), owned by Sokolov’s mother, opened Natalia Sokolova. At that time, Sokolov’s boss was the chairman of the committee on pricing policy in construction and state examination of projects Oleg Shakhov- I decided to fire my subordinate.
When the scandal gained resonance and Sokolov left, his place in Mosgosexpertiza was taken by Valery Leonov, also a native of Kazan. From September 2003 to March 2010, Leonov worked in various positions in the Tatarstan Ministry of Construction, for less than a year he was the Minister of Construction of the Amur Region (at that time the region was headed by Nikolay Kolesov), after which he transferred to the State Agrarian University of Moscow " Moscow State Expertise" A couple of months after the scandal, Shakhov left, and Sokolov himself was quietly transferred to the oldest design institute in Moscow - State Unitary Enterprise Mospromproekt. Currently, Sokolov works as first deputy director - creative director of the State Unitary Enterprise Mospromproekt.
CONSTRUCTION COMPLEX OF TATARSTAN ON A VISIT TO THE CAPITAL
One of the first to move to Moscow Rafik Zagrutdinov- former deputy minister of construction of Tatarstan. He arrived in Moscow in December 2010, taking up the post of head of the department of road, bridge and engineering construction in Moscow.
But the post was soon eliminated, and now Zagrutdinov works as the first deputy head of the construction department, responsible for financial management. Vladimir Shvetsov- former Deputy Prime Minister of Tatarstan, Minister of Transport and Road Facilities of the Republic of Tatarstan since 2011 - Deputy Head of the Construction Department, oversees the construction of the metro and transport infrastructure in Moscow. Svetlana Valdavina- former head of the state housing inspection of Tatarstan, moved to the capital in 2011 to the position of deputy director of the Moscow capital construction department, and in February 2013 became another Kazan deputy head of the construction department.
She also went to the Moscow region Elena Patkina. Since April 2009, she served as head of the territorial department of the federal agency for state property management in the Republic of Tatarstan, and since June 2013, acting head of the territorial department of the Federal Property Management Agency in the Moscow region.
COMPETENCE AND STRONG LOBBY
— I know the Moscow mayor’s office very well, I know how it works. You know, I was the head of public observers throughout Moscow during the elections for the mayor of Moscow, I worked with the opposition team, with claims against the mayor, with the mayor’s team. Look, you named Khusnullin, I named Nikiforov. Young, ambitious, fast, making a career in Moscow, striving to rebuild the world. This all has both pros and cons. And at the same time, they don’t break away, apparently, it seems to me, they don’t break away from their feed in Kazan. In every sense of the word. Preserving ties, preserving interests, awaiting, perhaps, the arrival of other Kazan residents, as we talked about today, a leader, in any case. Well, this has always been the case in Moscow: Vladimir Vladimirovich is our leader in St. Petersburg, Boris Nikolaevich was the leader in Sverdlovsk-Ekaterinburg, and Yuri Mikhailovich was the leader in Moscow, I mean the federal leader.
It is very important that the people who are coming from you now are very ambitious. I see more advantages than disadvantages in this. Even when their ambitions seem to me unsupported and even, I would say, malicious in relation to Moscow. They don’t understand Moscow, they don’t like them. And we Muscovites are snobs. We don't like it when people don't like us. I told Khusnullin Marat this so that I meant it.
But I like ambitions... Especially if they are confirmed by competence in some area. Do you understand? Let's see, Nikiforov, Khusnullin and others, they stand in a wide but narrow area, for Moscow these are... political areas. And this requires competence. One can argue about urban planning projects: the projects themselves, and estimates, and the development of Moscow in general; one can argue about what position the Ministry of Communications takes. But what’s also important is that they don’t turn their noses up too much. For example, Minister Nikiforov held a meeting about the latest law on copyright on the Internet here in my office. He says: listen, let’s collect it from you - everyone will sit in my office, everyone is silent, sulking and waiting for the microphone to be turned on. And so we sat down in my guest room, 15 people: he, his deputy, came from the Ministry of Culture, from the Ministry of Economy. And la-la-la - tru-la-la, we developed a common position. I didn’t turn my nose up: let me come to you, what’s the problem? This is important. This is a quality that Muscovites do not have.

| They go where there is more money and opportunities | ||
| This is a cunning plan of the Kazan Kremlin to lobby its interests in Moscow | ||
| Putin has no one else to rely on to revive Russia, so this is just the beginning of our exodus to Moscow | ||

A high-profile corruption scandal is breaking out in Moscow. The head of the construction department of Mosinzhproekt JSC - the parent organization for the construction and design of the capital's subway - Andrei Arkhangelsky was detained while receiving a bribe of 5 million rubles. According to investigators, he received money from one of the subcontractors for the construction of the Kotelniki metro station. Mosinzhproekt carries out most of the large orders from the city authorities; in addition, the head of the capital’s construction complex, Vice-Mayor Marat Khusnullin, personally belongs to the company’s board of directors. The construction industry does not comment on the situation surrounding Arkhangelsky’s detention.
As sources in law enforcement agencies told Izvestia, the Kotelniki metro station on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line is now preparing for state acceptance. The station is scheduled to be put into operation on the eve of celebrations for the 70th anniversary of the Victory and the 80th anniversary of the Moscow Metro. Now subcontractors hand over the work to customers. The controllers from Mosinzhproekt did not want to close the contracts of one of the organizations that performed commissioning work. As a result, the representative of Mosinzhproekt asked for 5 million rubles for signing the acts of acceptance and delivery of work.
When the required amount was transferred, all persons involved in the crime, including Andrei Arkhangelsky, were detained, law enforcement officers said.
It is noteworthy that in 2013, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin thanked Andrei Arkhangelsky for his many years of conscientious work in the Moscow construction industry.
The general contractor for the construction of the Moscow Metro is Mosinzhproekt OJSC, which is 100% owned by the Moscow government. The year before last, the company won a competition for the design and construction of 33 new stations and 69 km of metro lines. It is planned to allocate 564 billion rubles from the Moscow budget for these purposes. At the same time, the company had no competitors. JSC Mosinzhproekt was the only participant in the competition.
Until 2011, the construction of the metro was always carried out by other organizations: Metrogiprotrans was responsible for designing the metro in Moscow, and Mosmetrostroy JSC was the monopolist in tunnel construction. Mosinzhproekt was a state unitary enterprise whose specialists developed documentation for the reconstruction of Manezhnaya Square, tunnels under Gagarin Square, Kutuzovsky Prospekt and similar structures.
Sources in the market associate the change of general contractor for the construction of the metro with the name of Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Mayor for Urban Development Policy and Construction. After he headed the capital’s urban planning complex, his fellow countryman, a native of Tatarstan, Konstantin Matveev, became the general director of Mosinzhproekt.
In Tatarstan, Matveev headed the company Neftegazinzhiniring LLC, which built the Taneco oil refinery in Nizhnekamsk. Marat Khusnullin at that time was the Minister of Construction in the government of the republic and oversaw this construction.
Now, according to the SPARK-Interfax database, the board of directors of Mosinzhproekt JSC includes both Marat Khusnullin himself and his other fellow countrymen: Vladimir Shvetsov, deputy head of the department for metro construction and transport infrastructure, who worked for 6 years as a minister in the government of Tatarstan transport and road management, as well as advisor to the deputy mayor Rauf Nurullin.
It is through Mosinzhproekt that all work with contractors and suppliers is carried out,” an interlocutor at the capital’s mayor’s office tells Izvestia.
In March 2015, the FAS allowed the Moscow government to include shares in enterprises owned by the city (design institutes - Mosproekt-3, Mosproekt-4 and MNIITEP, as well as construction structures - Mosrealstroy, the Department of Experimental Development of Microdistricts, the Department for the Development of Construction Technologies , Moscow City Real Estate Sales Center) into the authorized capital of Mosinzhproekt JSC.
As Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Policy and Construction, stated then, the initiative was adopted as part of the anti-crisis policy of the city authorities, its implementation will support and stimulate the real estate market in difficult economic conditions.
The corporation employs qualified design specialists. Employees of the merged enterprises will strengthen the competence of the Mosinzhproekt company in the field of construction and real estate sales. Ultimately, this will allow optimizing costs, as well as taking tighter control over projects implemented within the framework of the city order, noted the deputy mayor.
Izvestia tried to contact Marat Khusnullin to find out how the city authorities would react to the detention of Andrei Arkhangelsky. However, neither the vice mayor nor his assistants were available for comment. The press secretary of the Moscow mayor, Gulnara Penkova, did not answer the call from the Izvestia correspondent.
Interview with Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mosinzhproekt JSC - Head of the Strategy and Personnel Committee Alexander Gornostaev.

Alexander Vasilievich, you have vast life and professional experience behind you, one of the brightest pages of which was the construction of Olympic facilities in Sochi. Which of the Olympic projects implemented with your participation were the most noticeable and interesting? The Olympic construction is truly a big victory for us. It's like being on the front line. In my life, I have worked at various sites, I have seen, so to speak, a lot, but I still experience indescribable sensations when meeting people with whom I worked these four years, when I see family and close faces. We worked almost around the clock, practically without leaving there. It was a single family that performed extremely difficult and sometimes impossible work for everyone. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Nikolayevich Kozak made a great contribution to the Olympic construction - he visited the sites almost every week, delved into everything, and monitored everything. His strict approach to business and attention to every detail were important qualities, thanks to which he perfectly coped with the task set by the President. Our success in the construction of Olympic facilities is due to his great merit. As a result, during all the days of the Olympics and Paralympics, the lights or sound never went out, everything went great, in one breath. The only thing, if you remember, the fifth ring did not open, but it was not our rubber. Everything went at the highest level, and this delight - the delight of foreigners, the delight and pride of Russians - was so open and obvious that all of us, those who worked there, were bursting with pride and satisfaction from what we had done. |
What we managed to do at the Olympic construction site is amazing! Many experts doubted the reality of this project: how is it possible to build Winter Olympic facilities in the subtropics and hold the Winter Olympics on them! The matter was aggravated by the fact that the Imereti Lowland is a swamp, construction was carried out in a 9.5-point seismic zone - both on the coast and in the mountains, in Krasnaya Polyana.
(From the speech of Alexander GORNOSTAYEV on July 30, 2015 at a meeting of the board of the Moscow branch of the Russian Society of Construction Engineers)
You have taken part in all significant Olympic venues, but you probably have one of the mostfavorite object?
My favorite object - probably the hardest, which was very difficult for me due to very limited time - is the Figure Skating Palace, which, by the way, brought the largest number of medals.
This is the only specialized Palace for figure skaters in the world; it has the ability to hold competitions in figure skating and short track speed skating. Usually, all figure skating competitions take place on hockey rinks, and, as a rule, the eternally disadvantaged skaters get ice for training, warm-ups, and events second. We received the highest assessment from specialists both on the ice and on all the conditions that were created for the athletes. When Tatyana Anatolyevna Tarasova saw what we did, she was completely delighted, and she defended the Sports Palace for a long time so that it would remain for the skaters.
What know-how, what principles and approaches from your professional background, acquired, among other things, at the Olympic construction site in Sochi, do you aim to put into practice at Mosinzhproekt first?
In my opinion, everything that was done there was achieved thanks to the highest degree of organization, enormous motivation, and strict control by the government and the president. The way the preparations for the Olympics went, I have never seen anything like this anywhere in my entire life. When delaying the commissioning of facilities was regarded practically as treason to the Motherland, you yourself understand what other motivation was needed for managers and builders in order for the task to be completed. Using this experience, I would like to bring a high level of performance discipline to the work of Mosinzhproekt. This applies to the registration and preparation of documentation, protocols, work regulation - when each employee clearly knows his range of responsibilities and tasks, this allows for effective work under limited deadlines.
And, of course, I am counting on maximally attracting highly qualified specialists, including from my former colleagues, so that I can use their experience, knowledge and these skills that have been developed during this period. After completion of construction in Sochi, the Olimpstroy corporation was disbanded in accordance with the law. I say this with regret, because over the years a wonderful well-coordinated team has been formed.

From experience I would like to move on to questions about the future.What are the strategic plans for the development of the company"Mosinzhproekt"? What will be the first steps to create an investment and construction holding based oncompanies?
The creation of this complex is largely due to the challenges facing Moscow. It is unlikely that in the world one can find in one metropolis so much space and needs that would need to be realized in a short time - this is the development of the “new Moscow”, and the industrial zone, and the development of the city’s transport infrastructure. Solving these colossal tasks requires the concentrated efforts of the best professionals. Currently, such a holding is being formed on the basis of Mosinzhproekt.
The holding will consist of five blocks. The first block is an engineering block based on the current Mosinzhproekt. Then the design block consists of all the institutes and design workshops. The third block is a development block, with a large portfolio of projects. The fourth is the general contracting block, also a very serious block, which will gradually form a team to engage in production on its own. This is a very important position, and over time we must develop this unit, which will be able to carry out large tasks. We will carry out certain volumes of work not only with the involvement of general contractors, but also independently. And finally, the fifth is the logistics block. This is a unit that will take over the functions of providing all our construction sites with equipment, mechanisms, and materials at minimal cost.
The Figure Skating Palace today, after the Olympics, is our favorite place to hold Russian championships and test skates for national teams. We're comfortable there, we love the bowl, we love the way it's built. We feel very good there - the audience sits neither close nor far away, everything is as it should be. The hall is beautiful, it is well located, it is convenient to drive up to it, we love it very much and perceive it as our own home.
(From an exclusive interview with Soviet and Russian figure skating coach, Honored Trainer of the USSR Tatiana Tarasova “Engineering Structures”)
On the Board of Directors of the Mosinzhproekt company youYou head the strategy and personnel committee. How are youDo you think the system needs improvement?staff motivation? If so, what exactly?
Motivation is the most important tool of any leader; if you want to achieve maximum efficiency from your employees, then the issue of motivation is paramount. Therefore, in my opinion, any company should always deal with this issue. Non-material incentives certainly produce results, but I believe that decent earnings for employees is one of the important components of success and high efficiency. If we look at the experience of Olympstroy, then in order to achieve the goal, the Russian government decided that the level of wages should be high enough. This was done to ensure that people were focused on completing tasks. Therefore, with good wages, if there is a good level of return, then it will be justified.
But non-material incentives for employees also need to be developed - if earlier there was a time when awards and certificates were treated with skepticism, now people’s attitude towards such incentives has changed. At Mosinzhproekt, for example, you can establish memorable corporate signs and awards to encourage employees.
