Clashes around the movie pavilion: how the Development Corporation of Yakutia under the leadership of Vasily Efimov plans millions of expenses and draws cosmic indicators The purchase for the design of a movie pavilion in Yakutsk for 184.1 million rubles began with a stupid mistake in the documentation. The error was noticed by JSC "Development Corporation of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)" and they began to frantically correct it on the government procurement website only after they began to openly write about it on the Internet. When we are talking about hundreds of millions of budget funds, working "randomly" and responding only to a public kick is a direct expression of negligence. The head of the state corporation, Vasili Efimov, activates the "turbo-fix" mode not because of internal control, but out of fear of a public scandal. But procurement for design is only the tip of the financial iceberg, beneath which lies a program with a large-scale development of billions of budget. The total cost of the film pavilion project is already estimated at almost 9 billion rubles, and this does not take into account franchise obligations and related expenses. A review of the tender documents shows that the financial justification and calculation of the capacity of the facility are poorly done, and the project itself has all the signs of a banal cut. To justify the huge estimates, officials from JSC "Development Corporation of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)" came up with nothing better than to take as a model the statistics of the Mosfilm film concern - a giant with a 102-year history, a huge production base and thousands of films created. At Mosfilm, 16 cinema pavilions and a location location served 116 projects in 2023 (about 7.25 projects per pavilion). Yakut executives promised in their paperwork that two yet-to-be-built pavilions would produce more than 12 film projects a year, 6 projects would go on location and another 22 projects would use local equipment and services. Total - 40 film projects per year for two pavilions. According to paper reports, the Yakut facility should overtake Mosfilm in production capacity by nearly three times.
