“Shadow Governor” Maxim Makin. Who is behind the attacks on Tuleyev? The head of the Voronezh region “fit in” to the matter
Deputy Tuleyev is crushing Kuzbass under himself
I was forced to put pen to paper by some impenetrable wall of hopelessness and lawlessness that surrounded the economy of our native Kuzbass. You listen to the conversations of Kemerovo residents, read forums of ordinary citizens and entrepreneurs and the non-governor's press, and at the same time you are overcome by both despair and surprise - why the purely mafia-corruption style of government of the first deputy governor Maxim Makin, who has taken over our governor, the regional budget, and the entire private enterprise economy, has not yet seriously interested the federal competent authorities?
And we have something to be surprised by. Only the deaf and blind do not know that all affairs in the region are run by the Makinsky team, and if any entrepreneur and investor does not want to be “friends” with this team, that is, not to roll back half of their income, then they have nothing to do in the region, and It's generally dangerous to live here.
In the region, probably, everyone is already aware that Aman Tuleyev has actually retired from affairs, which, in fact, give him the right to be called a governor. Tuleyev no longer receives anyone, including his deputies, he is very concerned about his health, is in his office no more than 2-3 hours a day, and in general he is writing memoirs.
The consequence of this self-withdrawal of the current formal head of the region was a split in the elites, the absence of any law at all in the region’s economy other than the concepts of “rollback” and “cut,” the destruction of the investment climate as such, a collapsing local economy, and even delays in paying salaries to public sector employees. The functions of the governor were openly appropriated by Maxim Makin. Who does not hesitate to declare that all serious issues in the region are resolved by him personally. Especially those where there is an opportunity to thoroughly “milk” the federal and regional budgets or entrepreneurs not covered by the tribute.
In turn, the Makinsky team sees their leader not only as a “shadow governor”, but also tries on the governor’s crown on his head. And who should be embarrassed anyway? If everything is captured here, and Moscow is infinitely far away... For example, a German company comes to them and talks about the desire to build a production facility here for as much as 1 billion euros! “Wonderful,” Makin’s family rubs their hands, “just pay a fee of 50 percent of the announced amount.” The Germans, of course, are cleaning their ears - haven’t they heard right?!! “Yes, no, you heard right,” the Makinskys explain, “it’s just our dachshund. And if you don’t agree, then look for another region.” And so that the overseas guests were more understanding, they gave their Russian representative here a “mask show” with the security forces and the seizure of business. And such cases are not uncommon for a long time.
Oddly enough, such Makin’s lawlessness has a very “beneficial” effect on the economy of neighboring regions. The flight of entrepreneurs, due to extortion, raiding and the establishment of fake criminal cases, towards the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Tomsk, Novosibirsk regions and Altai has become so widespread that it has increased the economic and social indicators of these regions. In turn, the budget of the Kemerovo region contains only holes and fictions. For example, the figure of own income for the current year was announced at 99 billion rubles, which will never be collected. But the region’s external debt is quite real - 85 billion rubles. In fact, the region is bankrupt.
The Makinskys have everything covered
Makin is thoroughly preparing a springboard for himself to seize power, and now people under his control are being placed throughout the region, including in the governor’s office. The head of the region is given only the information he considers necessary by his first deputy. Most likely, in the near future this official will spend his energy and resources on completely replacing the entire top of the regional government in Kuzbass with his own people. And by the next gubernatorial elections, for the Kuzbass residents and for the Kremlin in the Kemerovo region, there will simply be no other alternative except Makin and the “Makinskys.”
To achieve his intended goals, he needs to prepare both a financial platform and provide cover from the security forces, which he is now actively doing, taking all economically profitable enterprises to his controlled structures. He is assisted in this by those officials who, due to their duties, themselves must ensure that the law is observed. For example, the deputy governor for interaction with law enforcement agencies, Alexey Ivanov, through the deputy head of the regional Main Internal Affairs Directorate Viktor Kutylkin, provides cover for law enforcement agencies. And try someone to make a complaint about the Makinsky team...
I repeat that today in the region almost all enterprises are obliged to pay tribute (those who do not pay are overboard). Obstacles are deliberately created in order to destroy the enterprise, bankrupt it and then take it away for next to nothing. It is precisely this scheme that is now in the city of Novokuznetsk that companies controlled by Makin are trying to take over the electricity and heat supply enterprise (NEK LLC, NUK LLC) and Novokuznetsk Vodokanal.
The schemes are simple but very effective. Here is just one of the many schemes by which Makin looks after his commercial interests:
Diversion of public funds due to unfinished projects and inflated prices
Makin, despite the legal prohibition for any official to engage in business, is himself actively integrated into most commercial schemes with government orders. Only MES LLC, controlled by this official, has not yet fulfilled a number of contracts. Thus, in the city of Kaltan, Kemerovo region, the contract for the construction of networks for a school worth 31,070,000 rubles was not fulfilled (the completion date of work under the contract is until December 31, 2013). The contract for the construction of a clinic in the Lesnaya Polyana microdistrict (Kemerovo), worth 139,164,000 rubles (work completion date - December 31, 2013), has not been completed. The contracts for the construction in microdistrict No. 12 (Kemerovo) of a kindergarten for 280 places, worth 287,570,960 rubles, and the contract for the construction of a kindergarten for 220 places, worth 240,762,092 rubles (work completion date - until December 31, 2014) have not been completed ).
According to independent experts, only during the construction of a block-modular gas boiler house in microdistrict No. 1/12 worth 120,882,667 rubles, the contract amount was overestimated by approximately 2 times. The contract for the construction of utility networks in microdistrict No. 12, worth 114,000,000 rubles, was inflated by approximately the same proportion. Also, prices were inflated for various equipment supply contracts. That is, it is clear that the objects of the social sphere suffer the most from this. For MES LLC alone, the amount of financial abuse can exceed 1 billion rubles.
Makin’s right hand is former administration official and now entrepreneur Anton Sibil, who has a very controversial reputation in the region. It managed to be noted for extremely poorly constructed housing for the military, when the residents of a newly commissioned house, along with a host of other deficiencies, quite mockingly had windows and doors fall out of their openings in winter. He also took part in the raider takeover of a car dealership in Novokuznetsk.
Here are just some of the companies owned and controlled by Makin and Sybil, which “master” impressive amounts from the municipal order: PromStroyIndustriya LLC, Teploenergo LLC, Teploenergoservis LLC, Ustek LLC, RST LLC, SK Remstroytorg LLC ", LLC "Beton Stroy", LLC "Zhelezobeton", LLC "SU RST", LLC "Sibenergoconsulting, IP Makina Olga (wife).
Another fact: Teploenergo OJSC, controlled by Makin, is one of the largest heat supply enterprises in the city of Kemerovo. Exists since 1996. Currently it serves 42 boiler houses (most of which are gas) and networks with a length of about 73 km. Until December 2010, the general director of Teploenergo OJSC was Maxim Makin.
Earlier, the newspaper Novye Vedomosti and other media reported that after Makin came to power, Teploenergo began a period of unprecedented prosperity. The fact is that the responsibilities of the first deputy governor include control over the regional energy commission (REC), which sets tariffs for the population. Perhaps this explains the fact that Teploenergo’s tariffs are many times higher than those of other heat supply companies in the region. For example, the cost of one Gcal at Kemerovo Generation OJSC costs the consumer 1,203.25 rubles, while Teploenergo OJSC sells the same amount of energy for 2,579.8 Gcal - more than double!
The formal justification for the inflated tariff is the allegedly unprofitable operation of Teploenergo boiler houses, which must be compensated by including additional costs in the cost of energy. According to the law, the Regional Energy Commission must conduct an examination of tariffs in order to prevent a situation where the company’s expenses are paid from the wallets of citizens. But the REC prefers to listen to the opinion of the first deputy governor (since the head of the REC, Dmitry Malyuta, is a person appointed and controlled by Makin), rather than honoring the letter of the law. What’s noteworthy is that the prosecutor’s office is aware of these schemes, but they are also apparently on good terms with regional prosecutor Maxim Makin.
The tariff for the population of 2579.8 rubles/Gcal approved by the regional energy commission of the Kemerovo region significantly exceeds the tariff for an alternative gas boiler house, calculated for the city of Kemerovo taking into account break-even work, subject to full compensation of construction costs - 1420 rubles/Gcal.
Manipulation of coal production and prices
The corruption of the Makinskys is limitless, and coal is supplied to the boiler houses again through their controlled companies. They buy the cheapest coal for 600 rubles. per ton, and to boiler houses it already costs 2,300 rubles. per ton. And the profit is again in the pocket of the “commercially successful” official Makin.
But that's not all. Through his controlled structures, Makin also became involved in illegal coal mining in the Prokopyevsky district. (Koksovaya 2 mine, mining is carried out without a license), this mining process is covered by the already mentioned Deputy Governor for Interaction with Law Enforcement Agencies Alexey Ivanov and Viktor Kutylkin, legal support is provided by lawyer Timur Frank. All mined coal passes and is cashed through Dmitry Nikolaev and Stroyservis CJSC. According to the most minimal estimates, due to illegally mined and sold coal and funds transferred offshore, the region suffered damage of at least a billion rubles.
There is information that Makin is already resolving issues regarding Moscow. “With the money they earn,” PR companies are financed, which buy out pages in the media and ensure that the Kemerovo region receives a very high rating in various kinds of “research” and does not allow negative statements about the leadership of the region. Makin also resolves various issues in the Federation Council through Senator Sergei Shatirov.
However, the blissful PR picture remains only on paper, the region is being ruined and destroyed by government grabbers, and funds are being withdrawn from the regional treasury. At the same time, no decisive actions are being taken by the regulatory authorities; arbitrariness was happening in the regional administration and continues to happen to this day!
Is it possible to find justice for family corrupt officials?
The wives of Maxim Makin and Anton Sibil are the founders of more than 10 companies. This includes Beton Stroy, which produces concrete, and SU RST, which is engaged in construction work.
About Olga Makina, or more precisely about her business connection with Maxim Makin, it is necessary to say separately. Formally, the couple divorced, but this does not prevent them from living together in a cozy mansion worth more than 30 million rubles in a protected forest at the address: st. Kedrovaya, 3. Probably built solely on the salary of the deputy governor, received twenty years in advance? True, Maxim Makin has been in his position for only two years, so draw your own conclusions.
Olga Makina's enterprises are regularly recognized as winners at municipal auctions. Well, how can you not please your loved one if Makin is in charge of all construction in the region? For example, her individual entrepreneur is engaged in renting out construction equipment. She also owns a modern hotel with a large number of rooms, located at the address: Kemerovo, st. Pritomskaya embankment, 7 (see photo).
By the way, about their divorce, which is probably fictitious and aims to divert attention from the conflict of interests based on closely related ties. That is, formally divorce your wife, and then “divorce” the regional and municipal budget with her without regard for decency. It seems that there is an impeccable legal structure here, that is, a fictitious divorce will write off everything. However, it is not. It’s just that some points of the law need to be read to the end.
So, article 12.1. Federal Law No. 273-FZ “On Combating Corruption” directly prohibits persons holding government positions in constituent entities of the Russian Federation from engaging in entrepreneurial activities personally or through proxies, as well as participating in the management of an economic entity. In turn, paragraph of Article 10 of this law, in the event of a conflict of interest, personal interest means the possibility of receiving income in the form of money, other property, including property rights by a person from other persons who are closely related to him or her (parents, spouses, children , brothers, sisters, as well as brothers, sisters, parents, children of spouses and spouses of children), citizens or organizations with which the person is connected by property, corporate or other close relations.
In our case, Maxim and Olga Makin have a different kind of close relationship. Moreover, they are very significant and directly related to their mutual material well-being. These are their two children. And all formal nods to divorce have no role here.
Is it really possible to reach Moscow?
It is clear that the authority for “Makin’s rule” cannot be found here in Kemerovo, and a resident of our region, Sergei Andreevich Prevalov, wrote a letter to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin with a detailed description of the theft and corruption of Makin’s team. It's on the Internet. It, in particular, explains Aman Tuleyev’s incomprehensible tolerance towards the “corruption arts” of his first deputy.
The fact is that Maxim Makin and Anton Sibil became the “personal wallet” of Aman Tuleyev and his family. They build expensive cottages for the governor’s family, buy apartments and luxury foreign cars. Alas, despite the numerous facts cited of violations of the law by Makin and his team, there has not yet been a proper reaction to this letter from the Center. On the eve of the elections, the opposition parties will certainly take this into account.
In some cases, government procurement money is stolen openly and without regard for decency. On the Open City portal, with a detailed explanation of how officials from Makin’s team, groundlessly accusing builders of disrupting the construction of residential buildings as part of the federal program for relocation from dilapidated and dilapidated housing, easily stole about 20 million rubles. Moreover, solely due to forgery of documents and misleading Aman Tuleyev.
Social discontent is already brewing among Kemerovo residents due to the shamelessness and greed of the Makinsky team, since all this disgrace is in plain sight, and the economy and social services are noticeably sagging. And therefore, for residents of the region, the main question is who and when will finally restore order in the administration? And will this order be restored at all?

Who could be behind the attacks that have begun? Who can be behind the attacks on the head of the Kemerovo region, Aman Tuleyev?
Since the beginning of the year, the long-lived governor of the Kemerovo region, Aman Tuleyev, has been bombarded with custom articles predicting his imminent resignation, as if from a “cornucopia.” He was accused of everything, sometimes even the exact opposite: for example, putting pressure on business while simultaneously lobbying the interests of local business elites.
They say that Tuleyev was especially amused by the fact that he “ignores the demands of the strikers in the mining areas of the region.” Our correspondents tried to figure out who is behind this information attack and who benefits from it.
Makin attacking TuleyevOn the eve of the holiday on February 23, the anonymous telegram channel “Mouse in Vegetable” unexpectedly shared a portion of an interesting insider - former first vice-governor of the Kemerovo region Maxim Makin, as well as his assistant, ex-bankruptcy manager, lawyer Timur, may be behind all the recent attacks on Aman Tuleyev Franc.
A popular TV presenter would say about this: “Coincidence? Don't think!". The “Mouse in Vegetable” channel became famous for “leaks” from various security agencies, which were later confirmed. Such information could well have come from the security forces - after all, persons involved in past and current criminal cases are mentioned. […]
Maxim Aleksandrovich Makin, who was forced to resign due to compromising circumstances a year and a half ago, is a rather ambitious person. Even when he was an official, when Aman Tuleyev took sick leave, Makin literally took over his functions, openly declaring to his subordinates that he personally decided all serious issues in the region. […]
Those who know Maxim Makin well are sure that, imagining himself as Tuleyev’s heir, he, even in the shadows, continued to dream of the governor’s chair. As one of his former business partners said, Maxim Makin took Danilchenko’s arrest as a sign, deciding that he was destined to become the first person in Kemerovo.
Everyone understands that the center will listen to the old-time governor with a new appointment, which is promised by the summer. But Makina will no longer be named Tuleyev for sure. Maxim Makin probably decided that he could influence the federal center by creating a negative background in the region on the eve of the main elections.
In addition, he knows exactly what will make even the thick-skinned Tuleyev nervous - this is the prospect, even illusory, of being subject to sanctions and losing the opportunity to travel abroad for treatment. For 73-year-old Aman Tuleyev, who has visited doctors in Germany more than once, this is critical. And in general, the topic of the governor’s health became especially aggravated in the media even before his summer spine surgery, in the last year and a half, exactly after Makin transferred to a freelance position.
Our correspondent tried to get through to Maxim Makin with a request to comment on the “leaking” of the security forces in a popular Telegram channel. Failed. But we interviewed lawyer Timur Frank. He ignored the main question, but willingly discussed other topics. For example, he did not hide the fact that, as before, he interacts with Makin.
Frank, lawyer on trust […] Timur Vladimirovich Frank was born in Prokopyevsk, Kemerovo region. It was not by chance that we mentioned this city - many interesting events took place around it that are directly related to our investigation.The future ruble billionaire underwent his legal training in the ranks of bankruptcy trustees. I even managed to work in the Krasnodar organization of arbitration managers “Kuban”. After training on state farms, the lawyer turned to Kemerovo.
Timur Frank became a close assistant to many prominent figures in the region, and primarily to Maxim Makin, since the days of the latter’s vice-government. As reported in the media, Timur Frank organized for Makin and Co. the withdrawal of more than a billion rubles from illegal coal mining in the Prokopyevsky region, in particular, from the Koksovaya-2 mine, which allegedly did not have a license.
By the way, Maxim Makin’s “partner” in this “business” was another vice-governor - Alexey Ivanov, who was later arrested in the case of extortion of shares in the Inskoy open-pit mine (we promised!).
Why both of Tuleyev’s deputies trusted Frank so much is explained simply: Timur Frank is a relative (rumored to be a nephew) of Alexei Ivanov, a police major general who was in charge of Tuleyev’s security bloc before his arrest, so the level of trust with the “modest” lawyer was always high. And Timur’s wife Franka, as far as we know, previously worked as a judge of the Arbitration Court of the Kemerovo Region, so “Timur and his family team” resolved any issues in the region.
In addition to his level of trust, Frank also had a high income. According to Kemerovo insiders, during the years of Makin’s vice-government, Timur Frank was able to amass a fortune of 40-50 million dollars, about “ten” a year, which he is believed to have stored offshore in Cyprus and the British Virgin Islands.
Imagine the income of Makin himself and those who partnered with him. Now it’s clear why his wife Olga Frank got tired of working in Kemerovo arbitration and for a couple of years now prefers to spend time in her own estates in Tenerife.
The couple mastered “remote access” from Spain. Eight years as an arbitration judge in Kemerovo were not in vain - Olga Frank’s classmates and colleagues make decisions on disputes in the region every day, and it would probably be stupid not to use such a resource of relations.
Frank himself has not acted as an arbitration manager in Kemerovo for five years now, dealing with more complex schemes, which, as local bloggers write and say in the region, end with him transferring assets to himself and withdrawing money abroad.
Other arbitration managers from the Kemerovo region are now working for Frank in his schemes - Ivan Povoroznyuk, Oleg Kamenev and Alexander Furman. A real “gang of vice-chairmen”, handling billions of rubles, and the last one, Furman, is the “right hand” of Timur Frank, with whom he has been involved in parachuting for many years. […]
In addition to Maxim Makin and Alexey Ivanov, the services of Timur Frank were used by Kuzbass businessman Alexander Shchukin, who was detained along with Ivanov in the Inskaya case and was placed under house arrest.
Interestingly, in a conversation with our correspondent, Timur Frank said that he was present during the arrest of Shchukin. "Coincidence? Don't think!".
The case of the Inskoy mine is about to go to court - the investigation is over. The accused are two vice-governors, the head of the Kemerovo Investigative Committee Sergei Kalinkin, two investigators, the head of the regional administration department and businessman Alexander Shchukin with a lawyer. Aman Tuleyev also testified in the case. It is possible that the main task of lobbyists today is to blame everything “on commerce” […]
Frank was the closest adviser to a Kuzbass businessman who relied on the advice of a lawyer with family ties to power. Alexander Shchukin trusted Frank so much that, believing that “problems” had begun, he transferred part of the assets to his “lawyer.” Timur Frank took full advantage of his boss’s trust by masterminding a scheme to steal his assets.
We are talking about the bankruptcy of the Investment Fuel and Energy Company (ITEK), control over which Shchukin transferred to Frank. A nimble lawyer submitted demands to ITEC for 1 billion rubles, which he bought a little earlier for 0.1% of the cost […]
Now Alexander Shchukin is trying to bring ITEC and other companies back. In response to this, a PR campaign was launched against Shchukin to denigrate the entrepreneur, in the organization of which Timur Frank is believed to be involved.
He had experience working with the media since the time of Makin’s vice-government, for whom the lawyer is said to have helped provide the necessary information background in the federal media, interacting with the capital’s PR agencies. Frank, more than anyone else, is interested in Alexander Shchukin going to prison - almost 5 billion rubles are at stake in the form of assets and claims that the businessman does not intend to “give” to his former lawyer.
Shchukin and Frank are actively suing, while in our interview the lawyer continues to assert that he has no conflict with Shchukin. Having sworn his love for the oligarch, the lawyer unexpectedly started talking about how all of Alexander Shchukin’s troubles were caused by his defenders, who were wrongly disposed by “certain people”: “The position of Shchukin’s defenders, in my opinion, does not correspond to the position of Shchukin himself. And I believe that it is unreasonable to draw conclusions about Shchukin’s position based on the position of his numerous representatives who pursue completely different goals. They have certain tasks that they perform due to their mental development.”
Frank did not name the names of whom he had in mind, but there was no need to do so. Just at this moment, dozens of articles were spreading across the RuNet, accusing the lawyers of Shchukin and his son-in-law Ildar Uzbekov of allegedly acting contrary to the interests of the Kuzbass billionaire. And in all these materials there was a note that it was Uzbekov who ordered the campaign against Aman Tuleyev. And then the solitaire worked out: it became clear why two names appeared in the “cart” of the security forces - Makin and Frank - in connection with the information attack on the Kemerovo governor […]
While political scientists were wondering who was behind the attack on Aman Tuleyev, Timur Frank apparently added another ex-partner of Shchukin, Ruslan Rostovtsev, to his multi-move. At one time, it was Rostovtsev who introduced the young “well-connected lawyer” Timur Frank to Alexander Shchukin as a potential assistant in Kemerovo affairs. So Frank is definitely aware of all the affairs and problems of Rostovtsev […] […] Timur Frank, apparently, in his information war decided to “take advantage” of his comrade, and probably blindly, it is unlikely that he gave consent. Ruslan Rostovtsev seemed like a good reason to threaten Tuleyev with sanctions and the impossibility of leaving for treatment.
Last year, Ruslan Rostovtsev’s business connections in the Donetsk People’s Republic were revealed, which was published in the Western press, and this is the right path to the sanctions list, and Frank could not have known about it. You can’t really help Rostovtsev here - the US State Department is not the Kemerovo arbitration court, but why not use a “friend” for the case […]
Why is Frank acting this way? It is clear that politics is of secondary importance to him. The main task is to recapture other people's assets and double their fortune. It would also be nice to “plant” Shchukin, but Frank has no resources left here. His main power resource - former vice-governor of Kemerovo Alexey Ivanov - is under investigation.
All that remains is to influence the governor. Aman Tuleyev still has almost absolute power in the region, but he will soon leave his post. Timur Frank is part of the group of interested parties who need, at a minimum, to remain “with their own” in the event of a change of power […] All past and present vice-governors, even those under investigation, are built into the Tuleyev vertical.
If it crumbles, the work of the Inskoy cut will seem like flowers. And then all criminal cases will definitely be revived, and imaginary corporate transactions, blank promissory notes, in which the Makin-Frank group specializes, may well become fraudulent operations. They need political cover at the local level like air.
KEMEROVO, September 28 – RIA Novosti. First Deputy Governor of the Kemerovo Region Maxim Makin temporarily left his post while the Teploenergo company, where he worked for almost 15 years, is undergoing inspections in Kemerovo.
In Kemerovo, the heating season starts almost two weeks later. The reason for the delay was good weather. September in Kemerovo turned out to be warmer than usual: until the 23rd, the average temperature did not drop below plus 13 degrees, but then it became cooler.At a meeting with reporters on Wednesday, Makin said that Teploenergo is regularly checked by law enforcement agencies, including based on anonymous statements and dubious publications on the Internet. In particular, they claim that he influences the approval of more favorable tariffs and benefits for the company. Therefore, the first deputy asked Governor Aman Tuleyev to remove him from office for the duration of these comprehensive checks of law enforcement agencies (OBEP, prosecutor's office and FSB).
“I am sure that this chaos will, of course, end, the law enforcement agencies will sort everything out. In order to exclude and not give reasons to talk about the bias of the ongoing checks and about administrative pressure allegedly on my part, today I filed a report and turned to the governor: until the end of the fact check, set out in publications, remove me from my position,” Makin said.
According to him, all these statements and publications in blogs and individual media are ordered. “The task of this group of people that initiates these checks is simple and clear: to intimidate and form a false opinion about me personally, to discredit the governor’s team as a whole and the activities of the entire administration of the Kemerovo region. I believe that this entire campaign is clearly ordered and aimed at destabilization situation within the region," he said.
The first deputy governor expressed the hope that, based on the results of the inspections, “the correct conclusions will be drawn and an end will be put” in conversations about his involvement and influence on the work of Teploenergo and other companies. “I am, naturally, preparing a statement to the court,” he added.
Maxim Makin was born in 1974 in Kemerovo, graduated from Kuzbass Technical University with a degree in mining civil engineer, and later completed training in the presidential management training program. For almost 15 years he worked at Teploenergo OJSC and rose from the position of engineer to the general director of the company and chairman of the board of directors.
In 2010, he was invited to work in the administration of the city of Kemerovo as deputy head for construction, and in June 2012 he was appointed deputy governor of Kuzbass for construction. Since 2013 - First Deputy Governor.
Maxim Aleksandrovich Makin was born in 1974 in Kemerovo.
He received his higher education in 1996, graduating from Kuzbass Technical State University with a degree in Mining Civil Engineer.
In 2003, he completed training under the Presidential Management Training Program.
For 14 years he worked at Teploenergo OJSC: he worked his way up from the position of engineer in the production and technical department to the position of General Director of the company, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
In December 2010, he became Deputy Head of the City of Kemerovo for Construction, Head of the Urban Development Department. In the same year he graduated from the Academy of National Economy under the Government of the Russian Federation.
In June 2012, Maxim Makin took the post of Deputy Governor of the Kemerovo Region for Construction.
The official is included in the Book of Philanthropists of Kuzbass. He is a member of the Supervisory Board of the Kuzbass football team.
He is married and has a daughter and son.

Is the notorious vice-governor of the Voronezh region protecting bandits?
In the Voronezh region, which is headed by Alexey Gordeev, another criminal scandal with a “political bias” occurred. This time, the culprit was not the head of the region himself, but his deputy, the vice-governor of the Voronezh region, Gennady Makin, who oversees the political bloc. He is suspected of involvement in the beating of a taxi driver from the local company "Vendetta" Ivan Pereslavtsev (in any case, this conclusion suggests itself from the testimony of the victim - editor's note).
So, Ivan Pereslavtsev was beaten on the evening of May 29, 2016. According to Pereslavtsev, one man forgot his mobile phone in his car (presumably Alexander Strukov, an acquaintance of Makin - editor's note). After this, an unknown man demanded that the taxi driver meet in the center of Novaya Usman (a suburb of Voronezh) to inspect the car. At the meeting place, three men brutally beat Ivan Pereslavtsev.
He received at least four blows to the head area. Then the attackers pushed him into the back seat and drove him to Oktyabrskaya, 62a. “They beat me on the way. When I came to my senses, I heard them discussing where to take me - to the forest or hang me on a rope. Along the way, there were threats to my life and promises of sexual violence. In the end, they decided to take me to the pond to drown me there,” describes Mr. Pereslavtsev.
Later, the taxi driver was brought to a building located on Oktyabrskaya Street (house 62a). There they continued to beat him until the police called by his neighbors arrived. Then the action of this “crime drama” is transferred to the very pond in which they wanted to drown the taxi driver. This is where the fun began. As Ivan Pereslavtsev writes, there was also a man near the pond who introduced himself to law enforcement officers as Gennady Makin. He named the place of work, began to demonstrate (apparently to the police - editor's note) “some documents” and suggested that those present were supposedly saving the taxi driver, and not drowning him. The victim was taken to the hospital with fractures and knocked out teeth. In fact, this same Gennady Makin (that’s the name of the vice governor) helped the attackers “get rid of” the police. Let us remind you that the process when an official helps “criminal elements” is called “protection protection.” So, is it really possible that the vice-governor of the Voronezh region is protecting the bandits?
Connection with Gennady Makin
According to the protocol of interrogation of the taxi driver, his attackers were Alexander Strukov, Sergei Sinyugin and Valentin Chebotar. The media say that the general director and owner of the local Akvastroy LLC, Sergei Sinyugin, and businessman Valentin Chebotar are considered long-time acquaintances of the ex-senator and former vice-president of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and today vice-governor Gennady Makin.
Thus, the version that it was Vice-Governor Makin who tried to get rid of those who attacked taxi driver Pereslavtsev from the police seems quite convincing. But can Strukov, Sinyugin and Chebotar be called “bandits”? Taking into account the fact that (according to Pereslavtsev’s testimony) they beat him and wanted to drown him in a pond, the answer to this question is obvious. And all this “lawlessness,” apparently, was happening “under the roof” of the vice-governor.
"Adventures" of Deputy Gordeev
A criminal case regarding the beating (Article 112 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) of Ivan Pereslavtsev was opened by the Novousmansk police on June 27, 2016. Local media say that Gennady Makin personally actively prevented the initiation of a criminal case, and Valentin Chebotar’s son, Alexander (works in the Investigative Committee of the neighboring city of Novovoronezh - editor’s note) tried to completely “hush up” the case at the initial stage.
The strange behavior of First Deputy Governor Gennady Makin was repeatedly noted by both Voronezh residents and federal officials. Legends are made about the antics of the official in Voronezh. For example, many Voronezh restaurateurs know that there should always be at least two bottles of tequila in the freezer, with which the deputy governor likes to “get his throat wet” and then “walk around with stories.”
Pressure on the press
In the fall of 2015, another scandal broke out involving Deputy Alexei Gordeev. This time, Mr. Makin tried to remove an article from the website of the Bloknot-Voronezh publication, controlled by deputy Pakholkov, about the head of the governor’s secretariat, Andrei Vershinin. When Pakholkov refused, Makin asked “if his immortal subordinates wear body armor.” Also in a conversation with Pakholkov, Makin, according to the parliamentarian, pointing to an article about Vershinin, demanded that his assistant, editor-in-chief of the Blokpad-Voronezh website Dmitry Noskov, “stop aggravating, otherwise he is not responsible for himself.”
Makin put pressure on the publication because of a video about a country house allegedly built for the head of the secretariat of the governor of the Voronezh region, Andrei Vershinin, in the village of Dukhovoe, Liskinsky district of the region. It also says that Vershinin flies a Eurocopter 130B4 helicopter (tail number RA04071), maintained at the expense of the regional treasury as a medical aircraft.
Union of two officials
Let us note that Gennady Makin and Andrei Vershinin are considered the closest associates of Governor Alexei Gordeev. Makin controls the political bloc, and Vershinin is an informal economic manager in the team of the Voronezh governor. By the way, Vershinin appeared as the deputy general director of the scandalous OJSC Agroplemsoyuz, which was involved in a bribery scandal with the help of which certain entrepreneurs Evgeny Shcherbatykh and Evgeny Fedorov tried to “buy” the seat of mayor of the second largest and most important city in the Novovoronezh region in May 2010. The amount in question was 10 million rubles. It is worth noting that the position of mayor of Novovoronezh is the most “capital-intensive position”, since an investment project estimated at 130 billion rubles is being implemented at the local power plant.
Now Makin and Vershinin are the mainstays in Alexei Gordeev’s team. It seems that with such a “support”, corruption around the governor of the Voronezh region is only increasing.
Things continue
By the way, many influential Voronezh officials may soon find themselves “under investigation.” It is possible that a criminal case will be initiated against the region’s Deputy Prime Minister Maxim Uvaidov and his former deputy at the Department of Property and Land Relations (DIZO) Irina Gorkina.
The head of the Voronezh region “fit in” to the matter
It is worth noting that the head of the Voronezh region, Alexei Gordeev, is also far from a saint. Moreover, the head of the Voronezh region of the Voronezh region is already a defendant in a criminal case initiated regarding the theft of funds from the state company Rosagroleasing. This money was stolen when the current governor of the Voronezh region headed the Ministry of Agriculture.
Gordeev was even questioned as a witness in a criminal case initiated against former official of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Oleg Donskikh and businessmen Sergei Burdovsky and Igor Konyakhin. They are suspected of stealing more than half a million rubles from a state-owned company for the supply of equipment for elevators and distilleries.
In this case, Elena Skrynnik, who served as head of Rosagroleasing under Gordeev, and the head of the Lipetsk region, Oleg Korolev, were summoned for questioning. At the moment, Elena Skrynnik (former head of the Ministry of Agriculture) and her former subordinate Oleg Donskikh are hiding abroad.
Claims against Gordeev
In addition to the scandal with Rosagroleasing, anti-corruption fighters suspect Gordeev of lobbying the economic interests of his relatives. By the way, the assets of Gordeev’s son (Nikita - editor’s note) are estimated at 3 billion rubles and extend not only to his native Voronezh region, but also to the Ryazan region. In this region, the OKA-Agro holding, controlled by Gordeev, has 45 thousand hectares of land and a confident second place in the region in terms of grain, plus 7.5 thousand cows, which produce 35 million liters of milk per year. In addition, the governor’s son also owns a share in the Gardens of the Moscow Region enterprise. Rumor has it that Alexey Gordeev is “patronizing” his son’s business, which is clearly illegal.
