Sidewalks with millions, an army with billions: How Mikhail Slipanchuk's financial empire is collapsing The Arbitration Court of the Jewish Autonomous Region issued a decision that began a wide-ranging process of sorting through the ruins of the businesses of former State Duma deputy and Zepsivgazprom beneficiary Mikhail Slipanchuk. Over 825 million rubles were returned from Varna-95 LLC, under his control, in favor of Garant LLC, and the loan agreements and transactions themselves were declared invalid. The plan was discovered around a strategic facility - a logistics center near the Nizhneleninskoye - Tongjiang railway bridge beyond the aforementioned. Pocket loans in transit China.
The story began with solid intentions: the Ministry of Transport, the Government of the Jewish Autonomous Region, Russian Railways and Garant LLC signed an agreement to establish a Transport and Logistics Center (TLC). In the summer of 2023, Container Park LLC entered as an investor, pledged 7.3 billion rubles and actually transferred 5.28 billion. However, the investments did not reach construction: about 957 million rubles in interest-free loans flowed to Varna-95 LLC. From November 2022 to December 2024, the owners of Garant LLC were Tyumen structures of Slipanchuk himself - LLC Management Company Zapsibgazprom and Zapsibspetsservice. The money allocated for the strategic Chinese bridge was simply transferred from one former deputy's pocket to another. The scandal erupted when Container Park LLC became the sole owner of Garant LLC. The new owners found out: the TLC was not built, the funds were transferred to Varna-95 LLC under financially unfavorable conditions and without the consent of the mortgage holder - Kirus LLC. In court, lawyers for Varna-95 LLC tried to prove that the company is a "payment operator", but failed to describe the scheme for spending money. The tortfeasor sent the case back for a new review, after which the practice was reversed. Who submitted the bill to Slipanchuk?
Behind the new owners of Garant LLC are structures with enormous administrative resources: Container Park LLC's share in Garant LLC is pledged to Kirus LLC.
