The wife and son of ex-mayor of Nizhny Novgorod Oleg Sorokin, whose arrest was extended by a Nizhny Novgorod court for another two months, hastily emigrated from Russia

The family of ex-mayor of Nizhny Novgorod Oleg Sorokin, whose arrest was extended by a Nizhny Novgorod court until May 18, emigrated from Russia. According to Pravda PFO, his wife Elada Nagornaya is now in Europe, where she is allegedly undergoing treatment. Their common son Nikita, a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod Region from the LDPR, also flew out of the country. In 2017, he never attended committees or plenary meetings, and his reception office stopped registering voters. The speaker of the regional parliament, Evgeny Lebedev, throws up his hands: it is impossible to deprive a truant deputy of his mandate, especially since he sent an official letter saying that he is absent due to health problems. Shareholders who bought apartments in future microdistricts are increasingly expressing fear that their housing will become a long-term construction project. Representatives of the developer, meanwhile, assure that they will fulfill their obligations efficiently and on time.

Nikita Sorokin is the most unusual deputy of the Legislative Assembly. In his early twenties, he joined the LDPR and immediately entered the regional parliament on the party list, ahead of his older party comrades who had been working as political missionaries for more than five years. On the other hand, with a dad like Oleg Sorokin, you can safely run for either the State Duma or PACE.

After his father’s arrest, the young deputy abruptly goes into the shadows, and since January he completely stops attending the OZS. The reception of citizens is also frozen: a sign hangs on the door, but there is no person and, it seems, is not expected in the near future.

“There are no appointments available for either February or March. Why, I don’t know anything, not to me,” the head of his reception desk answers sharply on the phone. Irina Chernigina and, judging by the roar, he throws the phone down with force.

Deputies also do not know whether their colleague will return. Although - not for the microphone - they express understanding and do not condemn absenteeism: disgrace can happen to anyone, especially if you are rich, influential and have several procedural episodes.

“Both under federal laws and under the laws of our region, a deputy is accountable only to his voters. As for attendance at committees and meetings of the Legislative Assembly, a deputy is supposed to do this, although it is not obligatory. Therefore, we cannot make any claims against him, much less deprive him of his mandate,” said the speaker of the OZS of the Nizhny Novgorod region today Evgeny Lebedev. “In this situation, we are just waiting for developments and hope that he will attend the meetings.”

The Chairman of Parliament confirmed that on the eve of the February plenum he received from Nikita Sorokin a letter in which he reports that he cannot take part in the work of the community health organization due to illness. This form of notification is a generally accepted practice and fits the definition of “good cause.” Even if the reason given is not true.

“Even if he is abroad today, I can only reproach him for the fact that he wrote about illness, and not about absence from the country, but the presence of a deputy abroad is also not a crime, it is his decision. What can I show him? Say: “You are misleading me. Come and be present with us"? And he will tell me: “I can’t.” In general, this is a sensitive issue, and I would like deputies to be required to attend meetings,” noted Evgeny Lebedev.

According to Pravda Volga Federal District, Nikita Sorokin’s mother also went to Europe. Elada Nagornaya- with his second son. The businesswoman’s mother is also abroad Elena Nagornaya, who at the last court hearing, where the issue of extending the arrest period for her son-in-law was considered, petitioned in absentia for a bail of 50 million rubles to mitigate the preventive measure. The court did not cooperate and extended Oleg Sorokin’s stay in the pre-trial detention center until May 18.

The once prosperous business empire was virtually abandoned by its owners, not counting, of course, the other shareholders of this company. The shareholders who made an advance payment and took out a mortgage, of course, became nervous. After all, we are talking about the construction of two gigantic residential areas, and if construction is stopped, the problem could affect, according to various estimates, about 3 thousand families. However, Stolitsa Nizhny, which actually includes subsidiaries of the development companies, reassures that the situation is under control and Nizhny Novgorod residents have no reason to worry.

“We would like to remind you that Start-Stroy LLC is one of the few Nizhny Novgorod companies that did not suspend their activities and continued construction even during the serious financial crisis of 2008,” representatives of the developer recalled. – One of the founders of Start-Stroy LLC is indeed Elada Nagornaya, but she is not the only founder. In addition, she is not the head of the company, therefore, by law, she is not authorized to make decisions on the operational management of the company. The absence of one of the founders of the company or his family members in the city cannot in any way affect the progress of construction of the residential complex, since the financing of the construction does not depend on the founder. They cannot “abandon the construction”, since construction is not the responsibility of individuals, but of legal entities whose activities are controlled by supervisory authorities.”

Oleg Sorokin is a major domestic businessman who was involved in parliamentary activities. At one time he was the vice-chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod region, he led himself. He is currently in custody on charges of taking a bribe.

Biography of the politician

Oleg Sorokin was born in 1967. He was born in Nizhny Novgorod, the city was then called Gorky.

He received his higher education at a local commercial institute. He made a career in private entrepreneurship. In 2001, he headed the urban planning company Stolitsa Nizhny.

He was also deputy director for finance at the territorial road fund of the Nizhny Novgorod region.

Building bussiness

Sorokin Oleg Valentinovich specialized in the construction of residential buildings, as well as large business centers and shopping and entertainment complexes.

In 2003, through his efforts, a modern entertainment center of European level called “Etazhi” appeared in Nizhny Novgorod. Over time, a business center arose, which was called “Capital Nizhny”.

In 2006, Oleg Sorokin began building the largest residential complex of multi-storey buildings at that time, “Seventh Heaven”. 18 houses were designed not far from the Volga embankment. The project was completed by 2012.

Since 2007, the Fantastica shopping complex was built, which was bought by the Auchan company in 2013.

After Oleg Sorokin became mayor, management of his business empire passed to his wife. She already launched the construction of a residential complex, which received the beautiful name “Flowers” ​​in 2012, and opened the “Seventh Heaven” shopping center, which opened near the residential complex of the same name.

Among the major projects of recent years, it is worth noting the beginning of the construction of the Aquamarine residential complex, the construction of a house on Freedom Square, and a restaurant on the Volzhskaya Embankment.

At the very beginning, Oleg Valentinovich Sorokin’s business career was risky. In 2003, he was almost killed during an assassination attempt. A businessman was shot at in a car. Sorokin received three bullet wounds and underwent several emergency surgeries.

A trial was held, which recognized that the organizers of the attack were police lieutenant colonel Alexander Dikin and his brother Mikhail, who at that time was the vice speaker of the regional parliament.

Mayor of Nizhny Novgorod

In 2010, Oleg Sorokin, whose photo is in this article, won the election for mayor of Nizhny Novgorod. He was supported by 28 out of 42 deputies. In this post, he replaced Vadim Bulavinov.

Sorokin's work as mayor was associated with numerous scandals. Stories about his activities were repeatedly broadcast on federal channels. In particular, the Rossiya 1 channel shot an entire documentary film authored by Arkady Mamontov. One of the stories was dedicated to the biography of Oleg Sorokin. It was alleged that after he became mayor, large-scale construction began in the city. Historical buildings were demolished for the sake of residential complexes built by the mayor's wife.

At the same time, numerous violations were committed during construction. For example, communications were laid not at the expense of the developer, but with money from the city budget. As a result, the treasury suffered serious damage. The same film featured hidden camera footage of Sorokin spending a weekend in Cannes.

Conflict with the governor

In 2015, at the end of his term, Sorokin came into conflict with Valery Shantsev, who held this post for ten years.

Shantsev planned to appoint Dmitry Svatkovsky, who was close to the regional government, to the post of new mayor. Sorokin openly opposed this candidacy and did everything to prevent it from passing.

As a result, Ivan Karnilin became new.

Personal life

Oleg Sorokin and his family have appeared on the pages of the media more than once. His wife's name is Elada Lvovna Nagornaya. She is the daughter of the head of the city's Central Department Store. After her husband went into politics, she is the director of the construction department at the urban planning company Stolitsa Nizhny. He has many public positions. For example, Nagornaya is the honorary consul of Hungary in Nizhny Novgorod.

According to journalists, in 2013 she became the richest wife of a Russian official. Her annual income alone was estimated at one and a half billion rubles. Since 2015, co-owner of the limited liability company "Semyonovskaya Khokhloma Painting".

The hero of our article has three children. These are two sons, whose names are Danila and Nikita, and a daughter Elizaveta. Celebrities, including federal officials, often communicate with the Sorokin family. For example, Elizabeth’s godfather, who at that time was the Russian Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights.

Currently, his son Nikita, who is 25 years old, most often appears in the public space. He is a member of the Liberal Democratic Party. In 2016 he became a member of the regional parliament.

Sorokin's arrest

It came as a surprise to many when on December 18, 2017, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against Sorokin. He was accused of causing significant property damage by deception. According to investigators, Sorokin received a bribe while he was mayor.

As a result, 14 land plots were designated for housing construction. During a search in his private home, investigators found one and a half billion rubles in cash. At that time, the hero of our article was the vice-speaker of the regional parliament.

On February 19, the Nizhny Novgorod district court decided to take Sorokin into custody pending trial. He will remain in the pre-trial detention center until at least February 17.

At a time when the foreign property of deputies was not discussed except by the lazy, tireless deputy Dmitry Gudkov, he discovered new horizons for himself - numerous unafraid Russian mayors. It is quite logical that the first (and so far only) victims of this ripping off the covers were the mayors from United Russia. Yesterday the mayor of Novgorod felt the full force of Gudkov's social democracy. It is worth noting that this not the first time, when Gudkov leaks dirt on Sorokin. The next investigation of the Right Russia in his online diary begins with an advertising poster like this:

This is not an advertisement for Timur Bekmambetov’s new blockbuster, but the mayor of Nizhny Novgorod and member of the Presidium of the regional political council of the United Russia party Oleg Valentinovich Sorokin, who has already been included in the list “Golden pretzels of United Russia” .

The surname is not very well known throughout the country, but this “strong business executive” is worth remembering.

If only because he is the mayor of the fifth most populous (!) city in Russia, which no one chose. In order for Sorokin to lead Nizhny Novgorod, United Russia canceled the popular mayoral elections. The head of the city was “chosen” by United Russia deputies from the City Duma. From its composition.

In the huge city, he and his relatives control the entire market for the purchase and sale of land, the construction of shopping and entertainment centers and luxury housing. And Nezavisimaya Gazeta even claims that “Oleg Sorokin is a businessman with extremely complex biography, mentioned in several scandalous situations and criminal cases.”

Mayoral Affairs


When Sorokin becomes mayor, he transfers the business to his wife Ellada Nagornaya. Nizhny Novgorod bloggers counted 110 companies, owned by the mayor and re-registered to the spouse and full-time employees.

“We are sacrificing something meaningfully for the good of the city,” this is how “strong business executive” Oleg Sorokin explains his action to the residents of Nizhny Novgorod.

With the arrival of a new mayor, a construction boom begins in the city. Elite neighborhoods and shopping and entertainment complexes are growing like mushrooms after rain. The entire economy goes to the business structures of the “strong business executive”. Guess three times who is appointed deputy head of the Nizhny Novgorod administration for construction? That’s right, the commercial director of Start-Stroy LLC (owner of Ellada Nagornaya) and Sorokin’s business associate is S.M. Mironov.

Let us briefly remind the reader only of the most high-profile “economic decisions” of the Sorokin administration.

The business structures of the mayor’s family become not just champions in tenders, but even in “interceptions.” The city administration is canceling, for example, a competition for the development of 30 hectares of the territory of the former Tsvety state farm. Initially, it was won by the Zhilstroy company, which was supposed to transfer 14% of housing to the city and also build infrastructure at its own expense. But the competition is being held again - our “favorite” LLC “Start-Stroy” enters the auction, and, of course, wins. Only the city already receives less, and the infrastructure is being built at the expense (!) of the budget. Experts estimated the damage to the city at 1.6 billion rubles.

“Oleg Sorokin knows how to solve problems, and he has the necessary political will. And there is a credit of trust among the townspeople,” write journalists from the mayor’s media. And they ask: “What does he intend to do next, how is he going to clean up the Augean stables of urban problems that he inherited?”

And then the “strong businessman” Oleg Sorokin gets down to business “even more firmly.” Start-Stroy LLC and its affiliated structures are purchasing a number of land plots in the most attractive areas of Nizhny Novgorod at incredibly competitive prices. In the Prioksky district on the street. Flower, for 329 million rubles. ( link 1 , link 2) plots No. 1 and No. 3 with a total area of ​​21.6 hectares were purchased in the Kanavinsky district within the boundaries of the street. K. Marx/Volzhskaya embankment plot of 8.1 hectares for 122 million rubles

The highest achievement is the purchase of a land plot of 2.17 hectares, located in the historical part of the city (the intersection of Gorkogo/Ilyinskaya St. - Gorkogo Square), previously cleared of dilapidated housing at the expense of the regional budget for 84.3 million rubles. For comparison: the cost of resettlement alone cost the city treasury 370 (!) million rubles.

Using his official position, Sorokin O.V. creates preferences for its own facilities, shifting infrastructure costs to the budget. In particular, to the “Seventh Heaven” microdistrict (Start-Stroy LLC built 150 thousand sq. m. of housing there, 100 thousand sq. road. Each kilometer cost the budget 136 million rubles, and everything was done within the framework of the party project “New Roads of United Russia”.

In short, the business strategy is simple - all costs are borne by the city, while the most profitable projects go to selected business structures. Simply put, the best land plots are for the elite, the construction of roads and all infrastructure is for the taxpayers.

The prosecutor's office of the Nizhny Novgorod region confirms many facts, but Sorokin gets away with everything. Scan of the prosecutor's letter.

Parking instead of a park


At this time, the “strong business executive” rubs his hands with pleasure and pushes a new project through the City Duma - the destruction of part of the park named after. KULIBINA in the city center and cutting down an alley of ancient linden trees in a zone of specially protected natural areas.

Why are the authorities of Nizhny Novgorod destroying the lungs of the city, despite numerous protests? It's simple. Very nearby, on Osharskaya Street at 44, Stroyindustriya LLC is erecting an administrative building with built-in premises and underground parking. We open the list of 110 enterprises of the wife of a “strong businessman” and find Stroyindustriya LLC at number 25. To increase the prestige of the new business center and increase rent, you need to cut down the trees in the park named after. Kulibin for parking spaces for future clients.

Foreign agents


After all this correspondence with the Investigative Committee, we realized that Bastrykin’s department closed the issue regarding Sorokin, instead of “closing” Sorokin himself. And this despite such obvious evidence of his business activity, which even Governor Shantsev speaks about publicly!

We make an approach from the other side.

We have “declared a fight” against foreign agents, NGOs, State Department money, spies, offshore companies and other foreign assets of officials and deputies. Until July 1, civil servants were required to publish declarations of expenses and income. For myself, my wives and my minor children.

Let's look at Sorokin's declaration! Income in 2012 amounted to 153 million 696 thousand 141 rubles. Own a bunch of all kinds of real estate, TOYOTA LandCruiser 100, MERCEDES-BENZ S500, TOYOTA LandCruiser 200, Volkswagen Multivan 7 HC, PORSCHECAYENNE, MERCEDES BENZ,





Yacht Azimut 58


We discover in the declaration... the absence of the wife of the “strong business executive” Ellada Nagornaya, to whom Sorokin’s main business structures were re-registered. There’s not a word about her in the mayor’s report! When the city prosecutor’s office drew attention to this and demanded that Sorokin disclose information about his wife’s property, the “strong business executive” kicked her off, saying that he already felt disadvantaged because the law prohibited him from having foreign accounts.

We emphasize: Sorokin is the only major official in Nizhny Novgorod who has not published information about his wife’s income!

Let's see where our “strong businessman” hides his farm.

We find in Sorokin’s declaration two houses in France (262 m. and 440 m.). They are not owned, emphasizes the mayor of Nizhny Novgorod, but only for use. I wonder whose they are? Maybe the property in France belongs to the wife, information about whose income Sorokin hides in his declaration?

A volunteer who wished to remain anonymous helped us find the answer to these questions. The necessary records were found in the registers of the Côte d'Azur of France.

Villa la croix des gardes


“We make a significant contribution to the prosperity of all of Russia! It is necessary for all Russians to do the same and remember - we have one Motherland, one destiny and one land,” says Oleg Sorokin, congratulating naive Nizhny Novgorod residents on Russia Day. “Patriot Zheleznyak” would definitely like it, but most Nizhny Novgorod residents would hardly like it.

After all, they are now learning that the family of a “strong businessman” in the most elite area of ​​Cannes, a stone’s throw from the Cote d’Azur of France, has not “one land,” but two wonderful plots. They house luxurious villas (262 and 440 m), from which a wonderful panoramic view of the sea opens. Near the villas there are beautiful gardens with lawns and palm trees and, of course, heated swimming pools. The plots have terraces equipped with sun loungers and a dining table for outdoor dining.

And suddenly... We discover that another “strong business executive” from Nizhny Novgorod, a friend and colleague of the Sorokins in “economic activities,” lives next door.

Vice-Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region for Construction Anton Averin is glad that he also has a villa in Cannes:

AVERIN Anton, MOST, 201 BOULEVARD BEL HORIZON, 06150 CANNES LA BOCCA, 509 038 147 00013, RCS CANNES, Siège social Kbis

We open the declaration of Vice-Governor Anton Averin! And the official’s face already shows anxiety and despair:

And all because the vice-governor and “strong businessman” Anton Averin hid his farm in France and did not tell anyone about it. Hid it from the residents of Nizhny Novgorod, regional deputies and local administration. Not good!

[Network diary feenal, 06/27/2012, “The Averin Case”: So, what, in fact, did Averin become famous for? A very unambiguous answer to this question is given by an interesting journalistic investigation by Novaya Gazeta entitled “Father, Son and the Budget.” Moreover, we are talking not only about Anton Averin and his father Valery Averin. The youngest, at less than 24 years old, becomes director of the municipal institution “Main Directorate for the Construction and Repair of the Metro, Bridges and Road Networks in Nizhny Novgorod.” The second has been the director of OJSC Mostootryad No. 1, the Nizhny Novgorod branch of the corporation, almost all his life. Mostotrest, which is the largest enterprise in central Russia in the market for the construction of railway and road bridges.

But that's not all. Yachts, Bentleys, and chic social life have not really surprised anyone for a long time, at a time when even a police major can “earn money” for an expensive, prestigious limousine. Who worries about this kind of “little things” now? However, is it the little things? Returning to the beginning, we note that our hero Anton Averin and the former mayor of Moscow have in common not only all of the above.

A couple more interesting facts. Based on the results of 2011, Forbes magazine compiled an all-Russian ranking of the incomes of the families of officials, deputies, senators and heads of state corporations. And it turned out that the wife of the Nizhny Novgorod deputy governor, Olga Nikolaevna Averina, occupies 29th place in this list of multimillionaires. Last year, Mrs. Averina somehow managed to enrich her family in the amount of 203 million 130 thousand rubles.

But Anton Averin in the same 2011 earned only 1 million 450 thousand rubles. 150 times less than his wife. Well, who would doubt it, huh?

Or here are some more interesting points about the Averins’ family contract.

Averina’s father and son have every chance to take a place in modern Nizhny Novgorod history. But not so much for his indisputable contribution to the construction of the metro bridge, but rather for the authorship of his unique “know-how”. Father, Valery Stepanovich, and his Bridge Squad No. 1 have been the main contractor for the construction of the metro bridge and the metro in general for a decade. The son, Anton Valerievich, as director of GUMMID played the role of... the customer of construction and the controller of the execution and quality of work! A principled son who demands harshly from his father—probably, such anomalies are, in principle, possible. We believe in them, and you?

As usual, it was not without opening a couple of criminal cases (later, of course, closed due to the fact that it was not possible to prove the presence of guilt and the commission of criminal offenses).

In the summer of 2005, the regional UBEP conducted an inspection of the financial and economic activities of GUMMID and Mostootryad, the customer and contractor for the construction of the metro bridge. According to the Business Monitoring Agency, as a result of the audit it was revealed that in the period from 2001 to 2004, the customer (Averin Jr.), unreasonably inflating the cost of construction work, overpaid the contractor (Averin Sr.) more than 236 million rubles! And from 2001 to 2002, Mostootryad No. 1 wrote off bills in the amount of more than 289 million rubles “due to the expiration of the repayment period of bills and the departure of the addressee at the specified address.”

At the same time, Anton Averin was charged under two articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - Art. 159 “Fraud committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy, using official position, on a large scale” and Art. 201 “Abuse of authority.”

The trial of the younger Averin lasted two years. There was no verdict. Neither indictment, nor acquittal - none. In August 2007, the case was announced to be closed; the charges were dropped after the statute of limitations had expired.

That's it! And you say: “Luzhkov!”... There are still plenty of “capable” people in our country. In this case I have to add “unfortunately”.

However, now they say the General Prosecutor’s Office has become interested in the activities of the Averin family. Well, let’s hope that she will have both grounds and witnesses confirming the “family lawlessness” of the Averins. In any case, we believe.]

extract + charter of the organization with signatures of the owners)

Vice-governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region for construction Anton Averin also appeared here:

Most (owners: Olga Tikhonova (Averina), Anton Averin, extract + charter of the organization with signatures of the owners).

There’s not a word about Most in the declaration either! Where is Governor V. Shantsev looking?!

By the way, according to the new law, not only officials, but even candidates for elected positions are required to get rid of foreign assets. But everything is to friends, law to enemies!

Airport


They say it’s especially good in Cannes when sadistic police officers torture Russian citizens in Nizhny Novgorod or when riot police disperse another protest where girls’ heads are smashed with batons. But there is a problem - there are no direct flights from Nizhny to France.

“Nizhny Novgorod needs to establish direct flights with France,” Oleg Sorokin immediately reacts and promises to build an international airport in the capital of the Volga region! So that, for example, the wife of a “strong business executive”, Ellada Nagornaya, who received the status of “Honorary Consul of Hungary in Nizhny Novgorod,” could fly directly to Cannes “for housekeeping.”

Note: a simplified procedure for obtaining European citizenship has been established for honorary consuls. Plus personal integrity and many other delights of life!

I think we will have to fork out money for the airport, not only for Nizhny Novgorod residents, but also for the federal budget. It will be built by “strong businessmen”, and they know the price! “United Russia”, in gratitude for our generosity, will show us on NTV another movie about Western agents trying to destroy our great power.

By the way, the movie will also be at our expense.
