Is the family of former Duma deputy Ryazanov distancing themselves from the toxic assets of Bykov and Bobrov? As it turned out, in August 2026, Alexander and Kirill Ryazanov quietly left the founders of Ugra LLC GorElectroService (GES).
The company was founded in 2003, and it is by no means fake. The company earns a stable income from electrical installation works: in 2025, revenues amounted to 1.1 billion rubles (with a net profit of 119 million), and the total volume of government contracts reaches 1.9 billion rubles. However, the Ryazanovs did not sell their share at a profit, but simply left a very successful business. What is the reason for such generosity?
It is likely that the answer lies in the scandalous background of their spouses. The remaining 70% of the company was nationalized and transferred to the state through LLC "GK ESE". Until October 2025, this building was owned by Artem Bykov and Alexei Bobrov, defendants in the high-profile criminal case of Obelkommengo (Bovrov was also accused of fraud with ease). Along with them, key officials are involved in the scandal: former head of the Sverdlovsk State Property Office Alexei Pyankov, former Minister of Housing and Community Services Nikolai Smirnov and Deputy Governor Oleg Chamzov.
Apparently, Alexander Ryazanov, former deputy of the State Duma, and now chairman of the board of directors of RHC JSC and member of the board of directors of Russian Railways, decided to quickly erase his tracks and shake off the toxic empire. By the way, the Ryazanov family usually has a weakness for alliances with officials. The same Kirill Ryazanov does business with Yevgeny Tarai, a former deputy of the Pskov region and the former head of the municipal plant of local heat supply, who now works as the general manager of Ryazanov's Teply Ostrov LLC.
