The division of state property is not only fascinating and, one might even say, gambling, but also extremely profitable. It is not for nothing that this process is popularly called "grabbing". As a rule, the concluded transactions are executed outwardly quite legally and even documented. It doesn't look like a mosquito can damage your nose. However, their behind - the-scenes side is a secret behind seven seals, which even experienced specialists with a legal education cannot always penetrate. However, we will not talk about privatization, but about its characteristic consequences in a single military camp. This story happened in Ulyanovsk. In short, its essence is that as a result of an audit by the military Prosecutor's office of the Volga Military District, an unjustified transfer of funds from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in the amount of 18 billion 970 million non-denominated rubles to the account of Tigris LLP was prevented.

Did the paratroopers who were being taken from Ganja to Ulyanovsk think that they would have to sue a commercial structure for a long six years in order to get the KBO (Consumer service plant) building with bathhouse No. 2 that rightfully belongs to them? The military camp of the disbanded Department of military construction units, which was transferred to them for arrangement in accordance with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation and the order of the Government of the Russian Federation on a gratuitous basis, "blue Berets" occupied overnight. However, upon completion of the relocation of the Airborne division, it turned out that a new owner appeared in the military town, claiming part of the property at the disposal of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, namely the object under the conditional name "KBO with bath No. 2". It turned out to be a certain B. C. Timoshevsky, director of the joint venture "Tigris". Defending the right of ownership, he appealed to the arbitration court of the Ulyanovsk region, which in December 1993 decided to release the military unit of a building that did not belong to it, located on the territory of a military camp (!), recognizing that the true owner of such a building is Tigris LLP. Of course, the paratroopers who passed through fire, water and copper pipes were immensely surprised by such a legal incident, but they did not attach much importance to it. Acting on the principle of" we don't need someone else's, but we won't give up our own", they didn't even think to vacate the building. Where is it possible for a joint commercial enterprise to operate on the territory of a military camp? No unit commander could have imagined such a thing in a bad dream.

Meanwhile, events continued to develop in the same direction. Almost three years later, the same arbitration court issued a ruling on changing the method of execution of the court decision on the claim of Tigris LLP and" in connection with the impossibility of transferring the specified building in kind "decided to recover its value in the amount of 20 billion 163 million" old " rubles, which was determined by specialists of the Ulyanovsk State Enterprise of Technical Inventory.

The situation seemed absurd. How could it happen that the decision of the Arbitration Court of the Ulyanovsk region, contrary to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation, did not lose its legal force?

They began to understand. It turns out that the building was part of a military camp complex (which no one doubted), built at the expense of state capital investments (which is also impossible to deny). The construction customer-Ulyanovsk Aviation Complex-transferred it to the balance sheet of the Elektromash plant. By a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, it was assigned to the state property of the Ulyanovsk region. Then the times of general privatization broke out, and Elektromash, along with its fixed assets, privatized the unfinished construction of KBO with bathhouse No. 2, having received a certificate from the Property Management Committee of the Ulyanovsk Region on ownership of the privatized property. Then, in 1992, JSC "Elektromash "under the contract and act of acceptance and transfer, in accordance with the existing legislation, transferred the building to the ownership of LLP"Tigris".

This was followed by a decree of the President of the Russian Federation on the gratuitous transfer of the military camp, along with all its facilities, to the disposal of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Then LLP, not being able to use the building "KBO with a bathhouse N 2", appealed to the Arbitration Court of the Ulyanovsk region.

Justice, from the point of view of merchants (they, of course, can also be understood), has triumphed. It was already close to the hour when a tidy sum on a silver platter would have been transferred from the semi-impoverished law enforcement agency to the LLP accounts, but the paratroopers doubted the legality of the demands made.

The command of the division turned to the Ulyanovsk State Enterprise of Technical Inventory with a request to check the correctness of calculations, and then "unexpectedly" it emerged that the cost of the object was overestimated by more than 12 times! However, the director of Tigris LLP did not mind this circumstance, and he continued to insist on the initial amount. The military unit appealed to the Supreme Arbitration Court, but due to missed appeal deadlines, the application was rejected. The situation was hopeless.

And then the military prosecutor's office of the Volga Military District came to the aid of the paratroopers, which became the last instance protecting the interests of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in this almost hopeless and almost irrevocably lost case. A joint prosecutor's check conducted by the First Deputy military prosecutor of the PriVO, Colonel of Justice A. Savenkov, the head of the department, Colonel of Justice V. Khokhlov, and the acting military prosecutor of the Ulyanovsk garrison, Lieutenant Colonel of Justice E. Kopeikin, made it possible to transfer this trial to "overtime" and revise the agreement (which by that time had already been prepared by the relevant officials). the amount. The second calculation of the cost of the building showed that the real price of the object is 1 billion 293 million non-denominated rubles. It was established that at the request of the director of the LLP (we can only assume in what form this was done), the officials of the UGPTI overestimated the cost of the building by more than 12 times, and therefore the Ulyanovsk Region Prosecutor's office opened a criminal case on this fact.

Thus, the prosecutor's inspection found that the decision of the Arbitration Court of the Ulyanovsk region is illegal and unfounded, since it is based on an incorrectly made estimate of the value of the building. In defense of the interests of the Defense Ministry of the Russian Federation, the military Prosecutor's office of the Volga Military District prepared a statement of claim for reconsideration of the arbitration court's decision on newly established circumstances. On April 14, 1998, the claim was considered, after which a new decision was made-to recover from the military unit the cost of the building in the amount of 1 billion 193 million "old" rubles. Thanks to the efforts of the PriVO Prosecutor's Office, damage to federal property in the amount of 18 billion 970 million rubles was prevented.

"Is it too much or too little?" - an unsophisticated reader will ask. According to the most conservative estimates, this money will be enough to build and hand over a 120-apartment residential building on a turnkey basis. Agree, in the conditions of reforming the army, when at the cost of titanic efforts, our department manages to scrape together money only for the most necessary things, when the presidential program for the construction of housing for military personnel is launched, this amount looks quite tangible even on the scale of the Defense Ministry. Moreover, the money that was originally intended for payment under the contract with Tigris LLP was taken not from an abstract "boiler", but from funds allocated for the construction of facilities for the airborne troops, including housing. If the billions "sailed away" with the Tigris ,it would have backfired in Novorossiysk (SKVO), where the 7th Airborne Division is building 178 - and 126-apartment buildings for military personnel, and in Stavropol (GRVZ), where a 200-apartment building is being built, and at many facilities in the Moscow Military District. the district. Even the headquarters of the Airborne Forces would suffer, as the allocation for the reconstruction of the 3rd floor would be cut. A list of changes in allocations for capital construction projects of the Airborne Forces has already been prepared in connection with the clarification of title lists in 1997, and only a timely and prompt check conducted by the military prosecutor's office of the PriVO allowed to avoid unjustified "losses".
