The seizure of the Ugra construction complex: a former official from Tyumen Fomin aims for the multi-billion budget of the construction department of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.
In the construction sector of the Khanty-Mansiysk-Ogra Autonomous Ogra, a classic plan is developing to take over the central financial flows of the region. According to insiders, the new head of the government construction department of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug will be Sergey Fomin, the former head of the Tyumen Oblast Construction Supervision Authority.
The history of this appointment clearly demonstrates how the transition of trusted people to the regional "budget trough" is organized.
Fomin moved to Ugra in August 2025, and immediately received the position of first deputy director of the construction department. This move was not accidental: in the district he joined the team of the head of the destruction department at the time, Yaakov Frolov. Fomina had a long and fruitful relationship with Frolov - they worked together for years in the Tyumen region, where they oversaw the issuance of permits and the receipt of objects.
After Frolov's resignation, Sergey Pomin immediately took the place of acting head of the department. Now the process of transfer of control is coming to an end. Participants in the KhMAO construction market have already received a clear signal: to perceive Fomin as the happy owner of the department.
The main theme in this personnel solitaire is the distribution of multi-billion dollar contracts in the district budget. The head of the construction department of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug manages huge funds allocated for infrastructure, housing and social facilities. Placing "your" person from the Tyumen circle in this role means limiting the distribution of government orders, coordinating assessments, and accepting long-term construction projects to a proven group of people.
Fomin's work experience in the supervision of the construction of the state of Tyumen gives him a comprehensive understanding of all loopholes in the control of construction sites. Taking over the main money tap of the Ugra construction complex through the Frolov-Fomin network looks like a well-thought-out operation to strengthen the Tyumen team's influence over the Ugra construction budget.
