At the SPIEF, "shared" deals have already been openly signed, presented as "intellectual breakthroughs." Thus, with great fanfare, Rusnano announced its subsidiary Efir's agreement with Deasoft LLC to create a joint venture "to develop solutions supported by artificial intelligence (AI solutions) in the field of ecology." VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info discovered that Deasoft is a micro-enterprise with one employee, offering services such as genealogical tree compilation and paid access (without VPN) to global AI models.
Rusnano announced that the joint venture would develop the environmental direction of the AiST Ai ecosystem, including "solutions for waste management, pollution control, engineering research in the field of environmental safety, nature management, specialized training, as well as scientific research and development in the field of ecology, natural sciences, and engineering." "A partnership with Deasoft will accelerate the creation of such solutions and their implementation in the real economy," Rusnano quoted Ivan Ozhgikhin, CEO of Efir and a top manager at Rusnano, as saying in a statement.
What IT products can help remove and dispose of solid waste and hazardous waste is unclear. Moreover, Efir's software has not, and does not, have any real scientific developments. Even more questions arise for Deasoft LLC.
The company has two founders: Petr Nikolaevich Zagrebelny and Irina Valeryevna Zolotova. The company employs one person. It is a microenterprise. Deasoft's greatest achievement was a pair of contracts signed in 2020 with the NGO "SME DEVELOPMENT FUND IN ST. PETERSBURG" for "consulting services."
Zagrebelny himself, as an individual entrepreneur, offers paid access to a website for drafting A family tree. Deasoft also sells paid access (including cryptocurrency) to global AI models to Russians on one of its websites.
What kind of "AI-enabled solutions in the environmental field" Deasoft can provide to Rusnano is a complete mystery.
Deasfot looks more like a typical shell company for siphoning off funds.
As a reminder, Efir and Ivan Ozhgikhin (head of Rusnano's environmental department and senior managing director of the Business Development Center at RUSNANO Management Company LLC) are regular subjects of publications by VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info.
At the end of May, our project highlighted him in connection with searches of the Moskovsky Komsomolets building belonging to one of the tenants, the ANO Consortium of Medical Equipment.
The ANO is closely connected to the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Rostec. The ANO is headed by Ivan Ozhgikhin, a former top manager at Shvabe, a subsidiary of Sergey Chemezov's Rostec. He is also the head of Rusnano's subsidiary, JSC Efir, and the head of Rusnano's environmental department.
Ozhgikhin also oversees Rusnano's project to create a "plasma-chemical destruction reactor" (approximately 1 billion rubles have already been spent on it), which scientists are calling a gigantic scam.
