We know that we are read very carefully by the federal tax service. Federal Tax Service insiders, who sometimes give us information, note that sometimes our texts in printed form (although this is the 21st century) end up on the table Head of the Federal Tax Service Mikhail Mishustin. We criticize the chief tax officer a lot for his objective errors, miscalculations and lack of professionalism. Meanwhile, we can give Mishustin a couple of pieces of advice, for example, pay attention to the Sverdlovsk Federal Tax Service, which does not notice violations amounting to hundreds of millions of rubles.
It is known that Mishustin often gives verbal orders to local tax authorities, as was the case with the former owners of our publication, so we really hope that he will not ignore this text and take real measures for once.
Our sources in the Federal Tax Service Sverdlovsk region indicate that the heads of the tax service were personally fed by one remarkable and well-known businessman in criminal circles.
He uses officials of all levels and scales to implement his schemes. It is indicated that local security forces, for some strange reason, do not notice the cash-out schemes of a businessman who, under the guise of United Russia and Vladimir Putin, withdraws money into cash.
Our sources note that a couple of months ago, one publication known to our readers received 5 thousand dollars for filming and a one-year block on this character. At the same time, Andrei Simanovsky himself was shaved off about 20 thousand dollars by the intermediaries who negotiated with him. It is noted that on a number of other sites, intermediaries profited by several tens of thousands of dollars.
Moreover, those who were engaged in cleaning “according to Moiseevich” forgot that before cleaning search results and paying for withdrawals, they need to remove all background from smaller sites.
The ill-fated certificate for Andrei Simanovsky
They spent a particularly long time trying to clean up the ill-fated certificate for Andrei Simanovsky, which was sent to the regional financial monitoring and the Federal Tax Service, but for some reason was lost. Apparently, it’s not in vain that they say that everything is bought and sold from Mikhail Mishustin, since local tax officials do not see violations worth hundreds of millions of rubles. Meanwhile, the nature of Simanovsky’s enrichment rests on three “Cs”: Cash, Corruption, Counterfeit.

Andrey Moiseevich SIMANOVSKY, business content, brief biography.
Andrey Moiseevich Simanovsky, higher education has nothing to be proud of. He started out as a small speculator and counterfeit dealer in the central market of Yekaterinburg. A little later, he opened a small wholesale outlet at KOR. The first business partners were simply thrown away at the cash register. The first capital made it possible to open enterprises of the Sima Group of Companies.
Currently, he is one of the richest shadow billionaires in the Urals. According to operational data, cash in the amount of at least $20 million is stored at home, as well as on real estate owned by the Simanovsky family.
Currently, through his inner circle, he has bribed a group of officials in such departments as the Tax Service and Rosfinmonitoring. There were contacts among the lower level in the Department of Economic Crimes; currently these contacts are involved in criminal cases.
It is noted that several times Andrei Simanovsky tried to corrupt the employees of the Investigative Committee through “deciding”, but he did not find a way out. It is considered one of the sources of financing the information campaign against the ex-head of the Investigative Committee.
In 2015, Simanovsky began to actively use a scheme to deceive suppliers, without paying Chinese manufacturers of consumer goods. These frauds provided him with an increase in working capital, which is used to finance the current activities of Sima-land. The group of companies currently represents many shell companies that are used to legalize cash withdrawals.
Cash upon implementation trading operations are received by Sima-land employees directly on their personal cards individuals.
Due to changes in current legislation, all funds received in this way over the last three years can be presented for payment of income tax.
Thus, all current and past employees of Sima-land who received payment on their personal bank cards will be forced to pay personal income tax of at least 13 percent.
To ensure his safety and avoid responsibility for financial fraud, Andrei Simanovsky is also looking for political patronage. It is noted that the leadership of the SRO “United Russia” is financing Simanovsky; part of the funds, according to Simanovsky himself, can be transferred personally into the hands of Andrei Turchak.
Among those who receive constant payments from Simanovsky are:
- Head of SRO ER Viktor Sheptiy - monthly salary in an envelope.
- Ex-deputy of the Legislative Assembly Viktor Babenko.
- Alexander Novikov, a defendant in criminal cases.
- Head of the Sima-Land Security Service Korostel. The latter recruited ex-employees of the Alpha special forces into Sima-land, where he himself served. Simanovsky's only worthy step. Provides communication with Ural customs officers.
- Andrei Simanovsky’s assistant Anastasia Lukicheva (Korostel’s daughter), considered “Moiseevich’s concubine,” never leaves his side. At social events she plays the role of a “socialite under Moiseevich.”
Closely connected with the Sobolev family (control of Sverdlovsk customs).
It is indicated that the “great Russian patriot” Andrei Moiseevich has a residence permit for Hungary. Tries to hide this information from publicity.
When preparing branded products, state symbols of the Russian Federation and photographs of Vladimir Putin are used. Moreover, these products, without paying any fees for the use of photographs of Vladimir Putin, are called “own developments.”
Other marks, including patented ones, are also used illegally. For example, the sign “Russian Army” is used.

Cache output. 2-3 times a week, a gray Mazda (easily identified by the presence of armed guards, just post a post) from the 5th and 15th entrances (they change periodically, but the Mazda is still the same) takes out a huge amount of unaccounted cash in black bags from under garbage. Personal account in Alfa-Bank (VIP office in Khimikov Lane, 3 / 8 Marta St., 15). Tax evasion on an especially large scale, 115 Federal Law (legalization and laundering). Mazda security, which for a long time do not change (apparently, brings good luck?) are carried out by those same “alpha people”.
Thanks to political connections and contacts at customs, he exports cache during flights abroad. Currently actively using cryptocurrencies for withdrawal and legalization of funds.
Political games of Andrei Simanovsky
It is noted that Andrei Moiseevich Simanovsky is actively seeking protection and political support among the “powers of this world.” Thanks to Victor’s funding, Sheptia managed to get a reward through him on behalf of Governor Yevgeny Kuyvashev.
In recent years, Simanovsky has gone to charity - sponsoring everything he can get his hands on. One can understand him - the amounts are not fantastic for his turnover, but, in his opinion, they can ensure political security.
It is noted that in personal conversations he calls himself “the number one person in the region,” while constantly complaining about Andrei Kozitsyn, who prevents (!!!) Simanovsky from doing charity work and shades his successes.
It is noted that in order to achieve the goal, “Moiseevich” went broke on another Orthodox Jew, Vladimir Solovyov. The latter constantly comes to Sima-land in order to conduct some kind of master class, for which he charges exorbitant amounts of money - surely Nightingale will not be taken for free “on tour to Moiseevich”?
On the Internet you can find an interview in which Nightingale almost declares his love to Andrei Simanovsky:
“Andrey Simanovsky is an unusual person. If you look at him, you will never say that he is one of the largest entrepreneurs in Russia,” says Vladimir Solovyov in his program on Vesti FM radio. - I liked his motto: “He who loves his work turns it into art.” When he speaks and reasons, this is completely paradoxical thinking. It is this kind of thinking that leads to results! He's like Steve Jobs!
How much money did Soloviev receive to compare the creator of a real product in the IT field, Steve Jobs, and the merchant of Chinese consumer goods, Andrei Moiseevich?
They say that Solovyov promised Simanovsky airtime on Channel One and an invitation to the inauguration of Vladimir Putin. True, for some reason it didn’t work out...
Apparently “Moiseevich” has no luck with numerous scammers who either undertake to film articles or promise to bring them to Putin.
They say that during the last INNOPROM in Sima-land, everyone was prepared to ensure a “breakthrough” for Andrei Simanovsky to the body of the president. Simanovsky is ready to pay any money to secure a meeting with the president. After all, he understands that as soon as he takes a photo hugging Putin, as he does with pop stars, he will receive complete indulgence from any criminal prosecution.
So cuddling Putin, as Simanovsky’s cherished dream, is quite understandable. It is interesting that the FSO found out about these plans, since last year, before INNOPROM, Simanovsky’s entourage literally attacked regional government officials with a request to find out whether Vladimir Putin would be there and when he would arrive in Yekaterinburg. It was indicated that it was the increased attention of “Sima-land” to the president that alerted the FSO officers.
A meeting between Putin and Simanovsky could be simply dangerous for the country’s leader, since the latter has long been the object of close control from China.
Chinese liaison "Sima-land" or "Moiseevich" strike back
Although Andrei Simanovskoy has long been trying to get away from operational management, and the real work is managed by its director Denis Veshkurtsev, “Moiseevich” sometimes interferes with his “invaluable advice” in the work of “Sima-land”.
Sources say that most of Moiseevich’s work comes down to providing leisure time for the company’s employees. He himself spends most of his time thinking about what kind of celebration he could throw at the company’s office and what other star he could invite to give a concert at Sima Land.
Now let's look at the revenue graph of one of Moiseevich's companies:
As can be seen from the graphs, things have really not been going well for Sima Land since 2015. Most of the revenue went into the shadows, and the funds were simply cashed out through the cards of employees - individuals. These actions, if confirmed, can be classified as fraud on a particularly large scale.
Banks and bank employees who turn a blind eye to such transactions, and even more so managers who lend to such illegal businesses, can be classified as accomplices in a fraudulent scheme.
At the same time, schemes involving the “kicking” of suppliers from China began to be practiced more and more often. Until 2015, Sima Land’s reputation in China was relatively tolerant, but when it came to large turnover, the “payment discount” scheme from a supplier from China became tempting.
This whole story would continue for many years, if not decades - there are thousands of consumer goods manufacturers in China, and if you throw at least one or two suppliers every month, then even a century will not be enough to transfer the entire market to the manufacturer. Apparently, Andrei Simanovsky and his top managers were counting on this, but he was unlucky.
Yes, Sima Land employees say that six months ago, “supervisors” from China were sent to Simanovsky, who were supposed to monitor transparent transactions and control payments with China. The fact is that Simanovsky’s managers ditched a supplier in China who has family ties to the top leadership of the Celestial Empire.
In fact, Sima Land cheated one of the relatives of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. There would have been a big political scandal, but Chinese officials don’t need the noise and that’s why they are still trying to hush everything up quietly. However, if Simanovsky continues in the same spirit, then the information may reach the top officials of the Russian state. We are talking about a principled position - the Chinese are unhappy that a businessman from Russia systematically cheated manufacturers several times.
The Chinese watching Simanovsky do not see the whole picture. They are assigned to ensure that he fully repays his obligations, and he, meanwhile, continues to withdraw the cache, but not as brazenly as he did before. Nowadays, only close and trusted persons are used for cashing. We will soon find out whether the Chinese have enough patience and how it all ends.

In contact with
Classmates
Informants of The Moscow Post sent a letter that talks about the life and features of the business of the owner of the Sima-land company, Andrei Simanovsky. The owner of the company bases its policy on ostentatious patriotism. This is done in order to attract influential Russian people - politicians, entrepreneurs, public figures.
As stated in the letter, for this purpose, methods are used that can hardly be called anything other than window dressing. Just look at the obligatory performance of the Russian national anthem every morning.
What a temptation for the powers that be! According to newspaper insiders, this looks simply duplicitous, if not cynical. After all, Simanovsky himself made his business on openly criminal matters that have nothing to do with the prosperity of the country.
The authors of the letter, citing the Internet, state that Simanovsky apparently made his initial capital through smuggling. As the authors of the message note, at one time he imported obvious Chinese-made consumer goods into the country.
Goods were imported in huge quantities, stored in a gigantic hub near Sverdlovsk (Ekaterinburg), from where they were transported to shops and flea markets. As insiders note, the goods were counterfeit, and Simanovsky could smuggle them into the country through the border and customs by paying bribes to the same customs officers.
Through these companies, Simanovsky seems to carry out transfers of funds that were received for the imported goods. And the money is cashed out through the payment systems of Yandex and by transferring it to the cards of Simanovsky’s employees.
At the same time, the letter says, Simanovsky’s employees themselves seem to receive their salaries only in envelopes. That is, black. Accordingly, Andrei Simanovsky simply evades paying taxes.
Referring to rumors, insiders claim that there is a special secret room in Andrei Simanovsky’s office. There, it seems like cash is saved right in the boxes of goods. It happens that their lump sum amounts reach 50 million rubles.
There, right from the boxes, the workers of Sima-land are given their salaries. The authors of the letter calculated that in this way over half a billion rubles pass through Simanovsky’s company every year.
Of course, beyond all budgets.
In the same way, settlements with Sima-Landa counterparties are carried out in cash. If only for wages goes under half a billion under the budget, then imagine how much goes through the entire company as a whole? - insiders are perplexed.
As an ex-employee of Sima-Landa told the authors, the company consists of 100 departments. And each of them brings from 50 to 200 million rubles of net profit every month. It’s easy to estimate, and the authors of the letter did, that the company’s monthly turnover is at least 10 billion rubles.
This, according to the authors, is no wonder. Since in Sima Land there is a taboo on working with goods if the markup on them does not exceed 100%. The average margin for the company is 300-400%. Accordingly, 2 billion a month remains in China, and 8 billion in black cash is at the disposal of Simanovsky and his accomplices.
Why does all this pass by the regulatory and law enforcement agencies, the authors of the message ask. And they themselves give the answer to this question. According to their information, in Andrei Simanovsky’s office there is also a room for donating certain amounts to what is called the right people.
Politician Alexei Kudrin and director Nikita Mikhalkov are among such people. As stated in the letter, every month up to 8 billion rubles go into the pockets of the same officials. Often, the authors of the letter note, funds have to be issued not in envelopes, but in suitcases.
Referring to their sources, insiders note that materials about Simanovsky will soon appear in the authoritative Forbes magazine. Of course, of a custom nature. With an emphasis on the fact that Andrei Simanovsky is a model of patriotism among entrepreneurs.
However, according to the newspaper's sources, clouds may be gathering over Simanovsky. Under the new head of the customs service in Yekaterinburg, widespread inspections of the local customs service for corruption began.
There is a possibility that Andrei Simanovsky, who has been feeding servants of the law for a long time, will also fall under the distribution. So, it makes sense for Simanovsky to involve influential Russian people.
"Bench" by Andrei Simanovsky
The desire to be included in Forbes lists is truly cool. Finding yourself on the same level as large Russian oligarchs is not like selling clothes on the Chinese market. I wonder how much “shopkeeper” Andrei Simanovsky has stored in his pockets for this?
The Ural businessman has his sights set on joining the Russian business elite. Won't it break?
As a correspondent of The Moscow Post learned, the famous Ural entrepreneur, owner of the Sima-Land LLC retail chain, Andrei Simanovsky, expressed a desire to be included in the list of the richest people in the country according to the authoritative Forbes magazine.
“He has long dreamed of getting into Forbes. However, Moiseich would be satisfied with any ranking of the richest people. The most ideal situation for him would be if he topped this ranking, or was presented in this ranking with some special note. It seems to me that he is just for this and started doing charity work,” said one of the sources close to Simanovsky.
The desire, of course, is laudable. People who appear on the pages of the publication, as a rule, occupy a very significant position in Russian society. You can talk as much as you like about the moral qualities of each of them, but at least they all achieved success while working in the real sector of the economy.
But why Andrei Simanovsky, who in Yekaterinburg is almost to his face called a “shopkeeper,” decided to worm his way into Forbes - this is a very big question.
The sad story of "Sima Land"
Andrei Simanovsky is proud of having created such a trading empire as “Sima-Land” (judging by the name, it consists of the first syllables of the founder’s surname). The network does not sell the most branded goods, but, simply put, Chinese second-class consumer goods.
In the company, as experts note, not everything is clean with accounting. Since 2015, paper turnover, revenue and profit of the Sima-Land company have been declining, but the welfare of its founder has not. In 2015, official turnover alone exceeded 5 billion rubles. But the official profit is nothing at all - only 8 million rubles in the same 2015.
Why is this happening? Evil tongues claim that the lion's share of the company's income is simply taken out in cash. Moreover, right in the bags and personal vehicles of top managers.
Where this money goes is a big question. Rumor has it that allegedly into the personal wallets of Simanovsky and his inner circle. For example, according to some media reports, Simanovsky sponsors such people as Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Sverdlovsk Region Viktor Sheptiy. Rumor has it that this is done in an envelope.
In addition to Sheptia, a number of other remarkable people appear on Simanovsky’s friendly list. This includes Governor Kuyvashev’s representative in the Legislative Assembly, Viktor Babenko, and chanson singer Alexander Novikov, accused of housing fraud (who is either in a pre-trial detention center, sometimes under house arrest, sometimes under subscription; but everywhere he loves financial support for the trading network of businessman Simanovsky).
But the most interesting thing is authorized capital companies with billion-dollar turnover is 10 thousand rubles. Simanovsky's companies actively participate in government procurement. The amounts are small, but in total it brings him tens of millions of rubles from government contracts.
Among Simanovsky’s purchasers you can find the State Unitary Enterprise SO “Ural-2018” (preparation for the 2018 World Cup), LLC Beloyarskaya “AES-Service”, and even secondary schools. It is possible that even these small amounts have a corruption component.
Many people also note some contradictions in the state of the financial affairs of Simakovsky’s office. Debts in his numerous companies reach several million rubles. At the same time, the businessman himself allows himself to drive a personal Mercedes-Maybach car worth more than 10 million euros.
Mercedes-Maybach
Profited from the leader of the peoples?
Andrei Simanovsky became notorious in the capital of the Urals for winning a very good sum by packing his goods for customers in bags with a portrait of... Joseph Stalin. Whether Simanovsky had the right to do this is another question. Most likely he didn't. The use of images of historical figures in trade is generally not encouraged by law. And here also the relatives of Joseph Vissarionovich can present their claims.
In addition, the personality of the “leader” is generally a subject for discussion, but in any case this does not at all amount to an innocent prank. But Andrei Moiseevich Simanovsky does not seem to care at all about this. After all, money has no smell. Moreover, historical attributes.
Souvenir bags with Stalin
Perhaps this is why Andrei Simanovsky and his office allow themselves all sorts of pleasures. Thus, corporate events in the company are held on a large scale. "Sima-Land" has the opportunity to invite the most sought-after and popular presenters and artists to its parties.
In addition, celebrities are invited not only to entertain the group, but also to educate. Thus, in September, closed lectures on patriotism and Russian history were given privately to company employees by film director Nikita Mikhalkov and Russian Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky.
Andrey Simanovsky
And the famous bard Alexander Novikov (today he is under criminal prosecution) is even listed as close friends of Andrei Simanovsky. Whisperers claim that the artist also receives money in envelopes from the businessman. They're probably still speculating.
But the desire to get on Forbes lists is truly cool. Finding yourself on the same level as large Russian oligarchs is not like selling clothes on the Chinese market. I wonder how much “shopkeeper” Simanovsky has stored in his pockets for this?
In the Sverdlovsk region, signatures for Putin will be collected by the one who is considered a “swindler”? Vladimir Putin submitted documents to register as a presidential candidate. For many residents of Russia, the long-awaited step of Vladimir Vladimirovich is the threshold of a huge work - after all, he is running for elections as a self-nominated candidate, without party support, relying solely on the support of the masses.
To get on the ballot, Vladimir Putin will have to collect 300 thousand signatures of Russians. This is a serious figure, which means that organizing such work will require the mobilization of forces in the regions of the Russian Federation. At the same time, they want to give signatures for Vladimir Putin as worthy citizens Russian Federation, and rather dubious personalities: they want to join the nomination of Vladimir Putin and get him on the ballot.
Such a dubious personality in the Sverdlovsk region is Andrei Simanovsky - the director of the notorious “Sima-land” was going to mobilize the employees of his “shops” to collect signatures in support of Vladimir Putin.
According to a number of sources, trainings have been taking place in Sima Land for the last couple of weeks on the topic of mobilizing the population for patriotic actions and street actions in support of Vladimir Putin. It would seem that the initiative is good. But no matter how it is.
"Paid" patriot?
To celebrate, Simanovsky even joined the United Russia party. True, for the news about this, he allegedly paid tidy sums to local bloggers and media outlets, all of whom are his information services. Simply put, the media, which he pays for silence, for once found an opportunity to write at least some information about Simanovsky personally, which he considered not shameful - about his entry into United Russia.
Simanovsky was counting on the fact that Vladimir Putin would be nominated by Edra, but he, apparently, “screwed up” quite well. After it became clear that Putin would become a self-nominated candidate, “Sima” became depressed, but not for long. And now there is a new idea - to collect signatures in the Sverdlovsk region. The employees themselves will be required to hand over signature sheets in support of Vladimir Putin, regardless of their political views.
Simanovsky, apparently, does not think about who this will make Putin look like. Is the result much more important to him than the reputation of a national leader?
The corporate culture of Sima-land stipulates that all company employees are required to publicly declare support not only for the company’s management, but also full loyalty to the political leadership of Russia. The craving for patriotism in Sima Land is understandable - after all, the company has been on the hook from law enforcement agencies for several years.
"Pyramids" by Simanovsky?
Andrei Simanovsky has developed an extremely negative reputation in business circles. Especially among entrepreneurs located in China. As evil tongues report, one of the favorite forms of work of companies (and their directors) affiliated with Simanovsky is building a “trading pyramid” with counterparties. The scheme is simple - consistently increase turnover with the counterparty and build a prepayment scheme for the products with him... As a result, when the volume of turnover grows to significant amounts, and the goods are shipped with payment for the main part of the amount, the supplier can simply be “thrown away”.
A few years ago, such schemes were easy to implement, but in recent years, when entrepreneurs from China work with orders from the Sverdlovsk region, they agree to work only in the form of almost full prepayment of the order. Thus, the entire business community of the region suffered from such schemes of one entrepreneur.
Simanovsky’s reputation is so sad that he even hired armed guards and travels exclusively in a protected Mercedes Maybach car. He drives from his home in the elite Tikhvin residential complex early in the morning under close security and the gaze of stunned local residents. They say that “Simanovsky’s muzzle gates” regularly frighten residents of an elite residential complex. In addition, according to rumors, not so long ago these same guards were rude to the relatives of an entire vice-governor.
The craving for patriotism is also indicative - after all, Simanovsky has always made good money from it. It is his “Sima-land” that actually illegally produces products with the state symbols of the Russian Federation (!). The flag and coat of arms of Russia in Sima-land are sculpted not only on toys and Appliances, but also for socks, underpants and hygiene products.
...and other tricks
At the same time, on the territory of Sima Land there is supposedly a special hangar for storing goods that cannot be sold (usually these are just toys made of toxic materials). Instead of recycling such products, they are stored and compacted using a special loader. In other words, on the territory of “Sima-land” there is not only its own cash system, but even a landfill.
As for paying taxes, in the previous article we already indicated that despite the huge turnover of companies associated with Sima Land, most of the funds from trade are paid in cash. The company's employees accept payments for the company's products via Yandex wallets. It is clear that there is no talk of any normal tax payment scheme.
Thus, under the patriotic wrapper of “Sima-Land” there is essentially a large flea market where goods of dubious quality are sold, which are not taken into account by Russian fiscal authorities, and the activities of the company’s employees bypass the budgets of the Russian Federation (money in an envelope = no pension contributions).
Representatives of the Russian elite are also named as recipients of financial support from Mr. Simanovsky, up to Vladimir Solovyov (propagandist) and director Mikhalkov (regular guest of Sima Land). Officials of various levels also visit Simanovsky. One of the regular guests (and friend of Simanovsky’s “night adviser”) was an employee of the embassy, Maria Sergeeva, who recently got a job in the public projects department of the Presidential Administration. With such connections, anyone will be blown away.
Political ambitions?
Sources claim that Simanovsky’s possible interest in collecting signatures for Vladimir Putin is an attempt to obtain political immunity, and therefore complete immunity from law enforcement officers. Last year The FSB and the police are actively interested in Simanovsky’s financial schemes, against whose leadership Simanovsky can finance an information campaign.
After collecting signatures and joining United Russia, Simanovsky will be able to begin advancing in the political field, 4 years later launching his campaign as a candidate for State Duma deputy from “ United Russia" Among the immediate plans is the struggle for influence on the administration of Yekaterinburg and gaining control over mandates in the Yekaterinburg City Duma. Simanovsky’s assistant in this is the head of the SRO United Russia, Vasily Sheptiy.
And this man intends to start preparing the presidential campaign. But rather, he undermines it with his lack of authority and his reputation, and at the same time frames the national leader. It seems it’s time to put Simanovsky in his place before he completely goes too far?
The Ural businessman has his sights set on joining the Russian business elite. Won't it break?
As a correspondent of The Moscow Post learned, the famous Ural entrepreneur, owner of the Sima-Land LLC retail chain, Andrei Simanovsky, expressed a desire to be included in the list of the richest people in the country according to the authoritative Forbes magazine.
“He has long dreamed of getting into Forbes. However, Moiseich would be satisfied with any ranking of the richest people. The most ideal situation for him would be if he topped this rating, or was presented in this rating with some special note. It seems to me that he took up charity work just for this,” said one of the sources close to Simanovsky.
The desire, of course, is laudable. People who appear on the pages of the publication, as a rule, occupy a very significant position in Russian society. You can talk as much as you like about the moral qualities of each of them, but at least they all achieved success while working in the real sector of the economy.
But why Andrei Simanovsky, who in Yekaterinburg is almost to his face called a “shopkeeper,” decided to worm his way into Forbes - this is a very big question.
The sad story of Sima Land
Andrei Simanovsky is proud of having created such a trading empire as “Sima-Land” (judging by the name, it consists of the first syllables of the founder’s surname). The network does not sell the most branded goods, but, simply put, Chinese second-class consumer goods.
In the company, as experts note, not everything is clean with accounting. Since 2015, paper turnover, revenue and profit of the Sima-Land company have been declining, but the welfare of its founder has not. In 2015, official turnover alone exceeded 5 billion rubles. But the official profit is nothing at all - only 8 million rubles in the same 2015.
Why is this happening? Evil tongues claim that the lion's share of the company's income is simply taken out in cash. Moreover, right in the bags and personal vehicles of top managers.
Where this money goes is a big question. Rumor has it that allegedly into the personal wallets of Simanovsky and his inner circle. For example, according to some media reports, Simanovsky sponsors such people as Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Sverdlovsk Region Viktor Sheptiy. Rumor has it that this is done in an envelope.
In addition to Sheptia, a number of other remarkable people appear on Simanovsky’s friendly list. This includes Governor Kuyvashev’s representative in the Legislative Assembly, Viktor Babenko, and chanson singer Alexander Novikov, accused of housing fraud (who is either in a pre-trial detention center, sometimes under house arrest, sometimes under subscription; but everywhere he loves financial support for the trading network of businessman Simanovsky).
But the most interesting thing is that the authorized capital of a company with a turnover of billions is 10 thousand rubles. Simanovsky's companies actively participate in government procurement. The amounts are small, but in total it brings him tens of millions of rubles from government contracts.
Among Simanovsky’s purchasers you can find the State Unitary Enterprise SO “Ural-2018” (preparation for the 2018 World Cup), LLC Beloyarskaya “Aes-Service”, and even secondary schools. It is possible that even these small amounts have a corruption component.
Many people also note some contradictions in the state of the financial affairs of Simakovsky’s office. Debts in his numerous companies reach several million rubles. At the same time, the businessman himself allows himself to drive a personal Mercedes-Maybach car worth more than 10 million euros.
Mercedes-Maybach
Profited from the leader of the peoples?
Andrei Simanovsky became notorious in the capital of the Urals for winning a very good sum by packing his goods for customers in bags with a portrait of... Joseph Stalin. Whether Simanovsky had the right to do this is another question. Most likely he didn't. The use of images of historical figures in trade is generally not encouraged by law. And here also the relatives of Joseph Vissarionovich can present their claims.
In addition, the personality of the “leader” is generally a subject for discussion, but in any case this does not at all amount to an innocent prank. But Andrei Moiseevich Simanovsky does not seem to care at all about this. After all, money has no smell. Moreover, historical attributes.
