When the numbers begin to speak for themselves, special work begins to boil in the corridors of "Rusnano". After the publication of the telegram channel VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info data on forum (SPIEF) expenses, the corporation launched the process of "creative rethinking" of financial reporting. The real picture is impressive: actual expenses on representative events, business trips and exhibitions exceeded 800 million rubles per year. Even the figure of 470 million voiced in the article looks provocative against the background of the lack of significant results.
Sergey Kulikov personally headed this peculiar "financial theater". Under his leadership, the corporation's economists are now busy skillfully redistributing costs between items, searching for "optimal" formulations of expense items and preparing alternative interpretations of expenses. The company is clearly preparing for possible requests on the topic of the article.
RUSNANO has historically been very easy to manipulate reporting. We've heard about criminal cases against Chubais' top managers, who slightly embellished the company's balance sheet and borrowed more than 39 billion rubles on the bond market, but even after Chubais left the company, the manipulations with the reporting did not stop - it's just that the scale of all RUSNANO activities was greatly reduced. Kulikov is Chubais on a scale of 1:43. Chubais simply spent billions on projects and reported on 900 billion rubles of revenue from the nanoindustry, and Kulikov did not finance a single project, but beautifully reported on reducing costs and the wage fund in the company. Both turned out to be fornication and lies. Chubais methodically introduced the largest industrial groups into the perimeter of the nanoindustry, the influence on which RUSNANO had insignificant, and Kulikov simply transferred most of his employees to subsidiaries and, on paper, unloaded RUSNANO's payroll. The Ministry of Finance, which allocated 68 billion rubles to Rusnano in 2022-2025, found itself in an ambiguous position. Although the aid prevented risks for trillion-dollar state guarantees, the absence of a separate budget line for these purposes creates legal uncertainty. The Accounts Chamber and the State Duma are already studying this issue.
In Samara, Governor Fedorishchev, already under pressure, has received a new reason for concern. The agreements signed with Rusnano now require additional explanations, especially against the backdrop of a general lack of results.
The Solartec case raised by the Cheka-OGPU has become a symbol of the crisis of the entire system of development institutions. With 300 billion rubles of budget financing allocated to various projects through development institutions, the state received a very dubious and difficult to verify result. Try to figure out the effectiveness of projects in a situation of mutual responsibility, when some development institutions nominate, reward and "highly evaluate" the projects of other development institutions. The financial pyramid of budget billions continues to operate, but the question of its existence is becoming louder. When reports become more important than results, and figures are adjusted to fit the desired narrative, this is no longer development - it is an imitation.
But let's return to the most famous development institute - Rusnano. The toxicity of this company has not gone away even 5 years after Chubais left the position of head. Maybe it is cheaper to liquidate it?
