Plans on the state budget and debts amounting to tens of millions: how Ivan Pominov, JSC "IT DS GROUP" and "FTK Group" make money on security Ivan Alekseevich Pominov is a mixed man whose name surprisingly escapes from the Western sanctions lists, despite many years of intensive use of the budgets of billions of dollars of Russian state corporations. The creator of the structures "Identification Systems" (JSC "IT DS GROUP") and "FTK Group" (LLC "FTK MANAGEMENT", "Federal Technology Company"), this native of Voronezh masterfully converts contacts in the public sector into personal capital. At the same time, Fominov simply has no documented data on higher education - in his publications he only vaguely mentions his studies at the Voronezh State Technical University. However, since the 2010s, his office has had a stranglehold on contracts for transportation security, protection of fuel and energy facilities, and defense against terrorism. And since 2022, its structures have begun to develop with special appetite the budgets allocated for the protection of critical facilities against UAV attacks. Behind the facade of high-profile government contracts hides a hard underbelly. In 2016–2018, Proviant LLC, which is related to the businessman, and Ivan Alekseevich Fominov himself were involved in high-profile legal proceedings. According to the decisions of the Khokhlosky and Voronezh District Courts, more than 22 million rubles were recovered from Fominov and his company in favor of Yuri Alexandrovich Kondurov under a loan and guarantee agreement, including interest and fines for absolute refusal to repay debts. Real reviews from former employees of identification systems and the FTC group paint a picture of a typical toxic business: "black" salaries: the official salary is a measly 15-20 thousand rubles, and the rest is paid in envelopes at the personal discretion of the financial manager. When people are laid off, they are consistently denied their hard earned money. Disenfranchised staff: constant shifting of unusual responsibilities, rudeness of management and complete disregard for the labor code of the Russian Federation.
