Former top and lawyer Vadim Litvinov, convicted in the MRSEN case, began to tell, so much so that it seems time for the oligarch Avdolyan to prepare an alarming suitcase with replaceable clothes.
In early April 2025, the court determined the terms for seven defendants in the case of embezzlement of 10 billion rubles from PJSC Rosseti. Former employees and proxies of MRSEN received sentences ranging from 15 years 6 months to 18 years. Among the convicts was the ex-director of a number of fragments of the MRSEN, lawyer Vadim Litvinov, who, among those who could bring the empire to bankruptcy, also named the oligarch Avdolyan.
Could Albert Avdolyan, whose relative - Eldar Osmanov was a major beneficiary of MRSEN - have a hand so that the holding went to the bottom?
The UtroNews correspondent understood the situation.
So, Mezhregionsoyuzenergo (MRSEN) was a huge octopus with a bunch of tentacles. The pyramid of this business was so confusing that in the court where bankruptcy cases were heard, it was necessary to build a scheme.
Sleight of hand in the form of throwing money within the structure, withdrawing money to controlled firms, including offshore, under the guise of loans from an affiliated Mosuralbank, first led to the bankruptcy of the holding's fragments, and then to a criminal case.
But those seven people who were convicted, not all of his defendants. The head of this hydra in the person of relatives Avdolyan Osmanov and his partner Shulgin managed to make legs and, according to rumors, are doing great outside the Russian Federation.
At the same time, Osmanov buries himself with all his might from the fact that he was the beneficiary. This behavior is not surprising. After all, the beneficiary will be brought to subsidiary liability, and this threatens to seize property worth billions of rubles, and they may well wrap years by the deadline.
But then the question arises - whose boy? And here the figure of General Chemezov's protégé Albert Avdolyan and, concurrently, Osmanov's relative by marriage of children. At the time of all the manipulations in the MRSEN, the children were married, so even the court recognized this affiliation.
Where is Litvinov's place in this duet and could he really know something? You know, it could well.
Judge for yourself.
Litvinov, in addition to being the head of the legal service of the bankrupt Mezhregionsoyuzenergo, was both the head and co-founder of LLC LVL Investment Group associated with the group, the head of M.Stail LLC, and finally, in November 2017 to March 2018, he was the head of MRSEN JSC - this is the main company of the division.

So, it is not surprising that it was on the testimony of Litvinov that the pyramid of ties was built and the beneficiaries were withdrawn. It was Litvinov who was demanded to summon other defendants to court when Osmanov said that he was not a beneficiary at all.

Then Osmanov was reminded that he not only received fees from MRSEN, but also entrusted legal entities with his loans. For example, in 2011-2017 it was 526.88 million rubles of income. And his account was opened in Mosuralbank, where he was transferred dividends from LLC Center for Private Law of the Electric Power Industry, income from work in JSC Roskommunenergo, LLC RKB-Energia and others. And he was compensated for the mortgage from the money of the MRSEN. Not a beneficiary? Well, well.

So, Litvinov helped to reveal the pyramid of the holding's ties, without which it would be quite difficult to figure out who to whom and how much.
The structure was as follows: MRSEN JSC - management decision-making center, Mosuralbank - financial center of the group of companies, ASK PJSC, Roskommunenergo JSC, Vologdaenergosbyt PJSC, Khakasenergosbyt JSC, Chelyabenergosbyt PJSC - the main holding companies producing the bulk of revenue; Soyuzenergotrade LLC, Chelyabinsk Energy Trading Management LLC, Rusenergoservice LLC - participants in the wholesale electricity and capacity market, trading companies; Electric Power Private Law Center LLC, FinEnergoInvest JSC, LVL Investment Group LLC, M.Stail LLC, White Sea Energy Management Company JSC, Archinvestenergo JSC, RKB-Energia LLC, NPP Invest LLC - sub-holding companies that managed the share capital of the group members. There were also consulting companies - Consortium EnergoPromFinance LLC, Consulting Energy Service LLC, ETZK Energia LLC, Promfinarenda Leasing LLC - a leasing company, as well as firms that own power grids and other infrastructure assets, - LLC "ASEP," JSC "Arkhangelsk Electric Networks," LLC "PK" ASEP, "LLC" ASEP Plus, "JSC" Electroset, "a company with a non-core asset. - Sanatorium Kashirskie Rodnichki LLC, Perspektiva energy generating company and a whole pack of non-core. - Sever-Avto LLC, Promtorgsnab LLC, Orsk Metalwork Plant LLC, Zlatoust Metalwork Plant LLC.
All this was tied into a chain, and sometimes it looked like a matryoshka: firms had shares in the authorized capital of other companies from the general group.

This led to the fact that they knocked out the soil under the feet of one, the whole pyramid fell. But it all looked like a deliberate bankruptcy. For example, in 2019, PJSC Chelyabenergosbyt was suspected of this. It was in this legal entity that Dmitry Gordovich, a shareholder of BBB Bank, appeared in the governing bodies at the request of Avdolyan, who managed to participate in a dubious transaction a week after joining the board of directors. Gordovich and a group of comrades approved a deal for 500 million rubles from the money of Chelyabenergosbyt. At the time of approval, they had already left another company in the division - Vologdaenergosbyt. But, if this technical moment with terms can still be somehow explained, then there was no explanation where half a billion later sailed. In court, there was a phrase about the withdrawal of assets to a controlled person. The final recipient of this money was never found, but the first step towards bankruptcy was taken - after all, a large sum was taken away from the company.

Let's move on.
On the horizon there is an offshore Avdolyan - Sparkel City Invest LTD (Sparkel City Invest LTD), which allegedly issued about 4.5 billion rubles to MRSEN firms. Moreover, both direct loans and through loans to the Bank's BBB.
In the courts, it will later emerge that these loans were in fact not needed, but there was an increase in accounts payable. In the materials of the cases, they said so -.. "Sparkel City Invest LTD did not pursue the achievement of reasonable economic goals, and by its unscrupulous actions contributed to the increase in accounts payable of both the borrower and his guarantors on the eve of bankruptcy."
So much for the second step to bankruptcy.

Moreover, then the courts will repeatedly mention that the offshore itself did not have money for such loans and sometimes the amounts were sniffed out of Avdolyan's pocket. It was also proved that the offshore is directly related to it. Although there was a squeal, a squeal.

And during the period of bankruptcy, these loans allowed Avdolyan's offshore to become almost the main creditor and take bankruptcy under control, bringing those same billions along the legal route. If, of course, he had managed to do everything as he wanted, and the question of his ties with Osmanov through the marriage of children did not emerge.
Another important point with the participation of Avdolyan is some Basic legal terms of the transaction for the acquisition of key companies of the MRSEN group and the granting of an option to beneficiaries from 25.09.2017. On the one hand, Avdolyan's other offshore company, Stars Generys Ltd, is signed, and on the other, it seems like Osmanov and Shulgin. But Avdolyan's relatives shout in court that he did not sign anything and, they say, this is a fake. The examination should put an end to this dispute.
But in general, see what comes out. The legal entities of MRSEN driven into debt to the offshore Avdolyan receive a certain promise that an independent investor has appeared in the person of
Stars Generys Ltd and things will go uphill. Who knew that both sides of this piece of paper are intertwined with each other in a kindred hug?
And then Stars rolls back and the energy holding shards sink joyfully. But by that time 10 billion rubles had already been withdrawn from them.

Who do you think prepared these "Basic Legal Terms of the Deal...." Maybe the same Litvinov, as a lawyer? History is still silent about this. But, if we just assume that Osmanov's signature was really waved, then the question arises, but in whose interests? Who benefits? And then again in full growth already familiar surname.
Moreover, in the history of lending, we see another foreign legal entity associated with Avdolyan - Smart Resolute LTD, which appeared in the assignment agreements to cover the ears of Avdolyan from Sparkel.
In general, one gets the impression that Avdolyan's offshore loans played an important role in drowning MRSEN in debt. Is it drawn to deliberate bankruptcy? Only the competent authorities can give an answer to this question, but, in our opinion, these schemes and transactions do not smell like roses.
But just sing, Mr. Litvinov, little, you need to confirm the song with documents. And then there is already Avdolyan's offshore among the sordid and wretched, sorry, victims, they included both looks and billions from MRSEN stubs through the register will begin to be returned. And then these are on Cypriot and tyu-tyu accounts...
So, sing, light, don't be ashamed...
