O2 Development representative Natalya Shatikhina insists that O2 Development has the resources to complete the project. The government of the Leningrad region is not optimistic because the investor has never seen the construction completed.
On Friday, the government of the Leningrad region held another round of negotiations with the company "" on the completion of the problematic residential complex "Forces of Nature". Several interlocutors in the regional administration reported this to the DP. The meeting was held with the first deputy chairman of the regional government for finance.
The interlocutors reported that it was attended by the developer’s lawyer, managing partner of CLC, co-owner of O2 Development and candidate for the position of temporary manager of ZhSK Murinskoye - 1, Igor Rulev.
Networks - in advance
Natalya Shatikhina confirmed that a working meeting was held with Roman Markov on Friday. By agreement, a working draft of the minutes of this meeting was prepared and sent to her in advance based on the package working documentation discussed before, she told the DP.
"Draft schedules for the completion of the residential complex were presented, the prospects of the plan were discussed financial recovery Housing cooperative. The question was also raised, if there is such a possibility, that the regional authorities would support the developer’s request to begin construction of networks “” (controlled) before the advance payment. This makes it possible to complete major work on the first stage as early as possible and begin to sign preliminary acts for the transfer of apartments to shareholders. This practice has already happened. If the Leningrad region considers it impossible for some reason to support our request, the developer will follow the agreements already reached, although for the first stage this would be a significant acceleration. In general, the developer already has agreements with Management Company Murino, the payment schedule has been previously agreed upon, there are no problems there. But it takes time to begin work on connecting to networks, and the sooner they begin, the faster apartments will be handed over to people,” says Natalya Shatikhina.
The management of the Murino Management Company reported that they do not know anything about who is conducting negotiations - both from the government of the Leningrad region and the O2 Development company, on the issues of completing the construction of houses; no one has officially contacted the Management Company itself on this issue applied.
According to Shatikhina, today the completion of the first stage has a clear outline of financing. “In November, a bankruptcy procedure was introduced in relation to the Murinskoye-1 housing cooperative, so there was no opportunity to further finance the construction through the cooperative. Any financial actions require approval from the arbitration manager, but until February it was not possible to do this; letters to him remained without approval. Even basic security and maintenance of the site. Currently working on construction site resumed. Legal solutions have been found, for example, possible additional financing at the expense of the general contractor. If we do not take communications into account, then funds for the completion of the first stage can be allocated in the near future,” says Natalya Shatikhina.
Former temporary manager Vadim Fedichev said that Natalya Shatikhina’s words about his work do not correspond to reality. “There was no opposition on my part. I wonder what they will use as an excuse now,” he says.
Roman Markov completely refused to comment on the meeting.
Government version
According to the interlocutors of the DP in the government, the authorities of the Leningrad region, in turn, offered the developer, as an option, to conduct a re-examination of the 1st stage, which was being built by a bankrupt housing cooperative, and make changes to it, pay for contracts for connecting to the networks of engineering and technical support of the facility to the system water supply and sanitation. He must also immediately begin conservation work on the 2nd stage, which was built by Romantika LLC. “Failure to perform these works entails a direct threat to the reliability and safety of the facility capital construction“, say the DP’s interlocutors in the government.
Natalya Shatikhina noted that she had not seen the version of the protocol, according to which the developer is asked to pay for connection to networks, conduct a re-examination of the project, and also begin mothballing the 2nd stage, and added that this is ridiculous, we are talking about the minutes of a meeting where everything -it should reflect what was discussed on it.
The deputy chairman of the government for construction noted that “the best way out of the situation with a problematic facility is its completion and the transfer of apartments to shareholders by the developer himself.”
“In the case of the Forces of Nature residential complex, bankruptcy under the control of the regional authorities is also not an end in itself. Some time ago, lawyer Natalya Shatikhina took responsibility for completing the project. This was followed by loud statements and some revival at the construction site. At the same time, we have not yet received from Mrs. Shatikhina any endorsed data on the completion dates of the houses, confirmed sources of financing for the construction, and her investor also remains unnamed. On March 26, we are holding a commission to protect the rights of shareholders, where we would like to hear all this information from Natalya Sergeevna,” he said.
Long judicial prospect
Also on Friday, a regular court hearing was held regarding the bankruptcy case of the Murinskoye-1 housing cooperative. In February, the court overturned the appointment of Vadim Fedichev as temporary manager of the Murinskoye-1 housing cooperative; his candidacy was proposed by the regional administration. This was facilitated by the developer's lawyers. Yesterday, it was supposed to consider the candidacy of Igor Rulev in his place. However, Vadim Fedichev and AHML filed a complaint, which will take place at the end of March, so yesterday’s meeting was postponed.
In February, AHML of the Leningrad Region rejected the bankruptcy claim of one of the developers of the Forces of Nature residential complex, Romantika LLC, and an appeal was filed.
Mikhail Moskvin noted then that the second party was “trying to gain control over the bankruptcy procedure in order to include up to a thousand unpaid apartments in the register.” “The arithmetic is simple: the developer spoke about 3 thousand contracts. At the moment, we know that claims from 1,900 apartments have been submitted to the court. It may well be that the company will then form a new housing cooperative with these legalized apartments and transfer them to the state. We will be forced to complete the construction. After This way, the developer will be able to sell finished apartments in which he did not invest, and earn money from the budget,” he said.
The government press service also noted earlier that the developer never presented an investor to complete the project.
About 4 billion rubles were collected from shareholders and equity holders, the regional government reported to the DP.
The most problematic object
Residential complex "Forces of Nature" "O2 Development" is one of the largest problematic objects in the Leningrad region. O2 Development is also controlled by Alexey Dmitriev.
The project started in 2013. O2 Development leased a plot of 30.2 hectares from Baltinvestbank and began construction of two phases for 135 thousand m2 of housing. One of the phases is being built according to the housing cooperative scheme (area - 65 thousand m2, 95% ready, about 90% of housing has been sold), the second - under a contract equity participation(area - 69 thousand m2, 40% ready, about 40% of apartments sold). Right now the number of financially secured contracts is being clarified.
Later, the developer received permission for three more phases. And the land under the first two stages, 12 hectares, was bought into the ownership of the Murinskoye-1 housing cooperative and Romantika LLC.
"O2 Development" planned to connect the residential complex "Forces of Nature" to local wastewater treatment plants, but the authorities insisted on connecting to the central sewerage system, and the developer entered into an agreement with the management company "Murino", but there was no money for this. Permission to build three more phases was revoked. The lease agreement for the lands was terminated, and they remained with the bank, which began having problems at the end of 2015, and Absolut Bank became the sanator.
It was previously reported that the ex-co-owner of Baltinvestbank planned to invest in the completion of houses (in the fall of 2015, the bank began to have serious problems, and is now being sanitized by Absolut Bank). We were talking about 400-500 million rubles needed to connect houses to the water drainage and sewerage system. O2 Group leased the land for the construction of 350 thousand m2 of housing in Murino with the right of subsequent purchase from Retail Park Imperia LLC (RP Imperia), which is associated in the market with Yuri Rydnik. It is also known that Baltinvestbank acted financial partner O2 Group in the project in Murino, although the bank has always denied affiliation with RP Imperia. However, in the end, Yuri Rydnik refused to finance the problematic construction.
One more interested investor His company was also called "".
Finally, a company from the RR-City bank became interested and planned to buy the project from the developer. But not a single bank wanted to finance the completion of the problematic facility, and the potential investor abandoned the project.
As a result, last summer, the Leningrad region agreed to finance the completion of the Forces of Nature residential complex with Rossiya Bank, a government-friendly bank. The project includes the Leningrad regional housing agency mortgage lending is a 100% subsidiary of the Leningrad region government, which operates under state housing programs.
This company would become the borrower, operator and organizer of completion, and it would select the customer, contractor, etc. on a competitive basis. To return credit funds it was planned to the bank through the sale of vacant apartments and money for government programs(in the residential complex "Forces of Nature" they will offer to buy apartments for participants of state housing programs). To do this, it was necessary to take control of the bankruptcy procedure of the previous developer, the Murinskoye-1 housing cooperative and Romantika LLC.

In 2012, the Forces of Nature residential complex was sharply different from the faceless new economy-class buildings that were being built in the St. Petersburg suburb of Murino. It was supposed to be the most environmentally friendly and brightest: with a record number of energy saving technologies and blue-green-violet facades. The complex was planned to be built huge - 16 houses with heights from 10 to 18 floors - and fashionable: the project included not only the banal “social services” in the form of kindergartens and schools, but also a modern sculpture park.
Two years after the start of construction, the number of buildings in the project was sharply reduced to four. We also had to forget about the environmental concept because it was too expensive. But the shareholders did not lose heart: they were sure that they would soon receive their apartments. In 2014, the developer of “Forces of Nature” O2 Development began having problems at another site - the residential complex “My Element” in the Vyborg district. Builders and equipment were temporarily transferred there, leaving the first building almost completed and the second half finished. The other phase remained at the initial stage of construction.
Shareholders do not lose hope
Despite the fact that at the end of 2014 the first phase was not delivered, shareholders did not lose heart. Sales of apartments of the first and second stages were active for most of 2015. O2 Development willingly answered questions from buyers, allowed some into the almost completed building, where shareholders took encouraging photos and videos: not everything is of high quality, there are no communications - but the construction is about to be completed.
Additional optimism was inspired by the news that in mid-2015 the developer announced the transfer of shareholders to equity participation agreements in accordance with Law No. 214-FZ. This law protects the rights of home buyers more reliably than legal act on cooperative construction, which allows the developer to postpone the commissioning of the house any number of times. The buyers of the first stage remained shareholders, and in the second stage everyone switched to DDU, concluding agreements with the developer’s subsidiary - Romantika LLC. From that moment on, two different companies became the developers of the residential complex: the first stage was the Murino-1 housing complex, and the second was Romantika LLC. At the same time, O2 Development was on the board of the first organization and was the founder of the second.
The developer launched an information war against buyers
By the fall of 2015, equity holders and shareholders noticed that the construction had stalled. The construction company did not comment in any way on the disappearance of workers and equipment from the site, citing employment due to the execution of control contracts with clients at other sites.
Buyers of apartments in the residential complex “Forces of Nature” began to bombard all government agencies that were available to them with appeals, petitions and complaints, from the government of the Leningrad region to the administration of the President of the Russian Federation. We organized rallies, collaborated with the media, and achieved an independent examination of the construction. The O2 Development company joined the information confrontation: it allowed journalists into the site, reported on the vigorous pace of construction, and promised to hand over the keys at the beginning of 2016.
Shareholders' money was spent on other objects, construction stopped
However, in October 2015, the developer’s permit for the construction of phases 3, 4 and 5 of the project was revoked. Its representatives stated that they are unlikely to be able to complete the 1st and 2nd stages on their own. The whole problem is in the sewerage system: the O2 Development company did not have money to connect to the main networks, so it decided to build a local sewerage system - in fact, cesspool! - right in the courtyard of one of the houses. Head of Murinsky rural settlement refused to sign permission to do so. The construction company's office was searched.
Where did the money go that shareholders and equity holders paid for apartments? According to their calculations, the company received about 4 billion rubles for the construction of this facility. Subsequently, it turned out that the funds that O2 Development received from shareholders and equity holders of the Forces of Nature residential complex were used to finance other projects. Soon after this information was made public, equipment and workers were removed from the complex site. The phones in the developer's office were ringing off the hook, but no one answered.
Reached to the very top
During the first half of 2016, active shareholders wrote statements to the prosecutor’s office and sued the company in arbitration court. In response to their actions, Gosstroynadzor conducted an inspection of the Forces of Nature residential complex, and the vice-governor of the Leningrad region demanded that the company’s management complete the completed lines. At first glance, this turned out to be effective: the equipment was returned, they began to lay trenches for communications, and dig wells for sewerage, which O2 Development promised to make normal - like in all apartment buildings.
But by the summer, shareholders realized that a show was being played out in front of them: at the site, one excavator was demonstratively waving a bucket in front of a webcam, a bunch of workers were scurrying around the territory, doing nothing. In August, apartment buyers set up a tent camp near the developer's sales office. They lived there, replacing each other for two weeks. This did not affect the progress of construction, but the federal media and authorities drew attention to the problem of the Forces of Nature residential complex.
The apartment owners spent the rest of the year communicating with the prosecutor's office, including themselves in the register of defrauded shareholders in St. Petersburg, and trying to change the board of the Murino-1 housing cooperative (there was not enough quorum for this). The authorities of the Leningrad region, meanwhile, tried to negotiate with O2 Development to complete construction of at least the first stage. The company responded by blaming shareholders and officials for aggravating the situation, and also looked for investors.
O2 Development left the project. But not for long
In March 2017, it became known that O2 Development was leaving the Forces of Nature project. Its place was taken by the RR-City company, although formally the developers of the complex remained the Murino-1 housing complex and Romantika LLC - so that they would not have to re-issue management agreements and other documents. By this time, some buyers were able to terminate contracts with previous developers through the courts and obtain a decision to return the money. They did not receive the funds paid for the apartments.
The new developer remained mysteriously silent for two months, until the shareholders threatened to occupy the first building without permission. After this, RR City announced that it would transfer the first phase during 2017, and the second phase in 2018-2019. Despite this, RR City did not sign an agreement on the transfer of rights to complete construction of the facility and did not receive funds to finance it.
In the meantime, a criminal case was finally opened against the management of the Murino-1 housing cooperative and Romantika LLC for the theft of 4 billion rubles, and the bankruptcy process began against Romantika. The RR-City company appealed to shareholders with a demand to stop public shares and close all communities under the project in in social networks. The activists ignored this call.
Just a month after the deadline was announced, RR City announced that it would not complete the construction of the Forces of Nature residential complex. According to the company's management, none of the banks with which it negotiated agreed to provide a loan for a project with high reputational risks.
The epic bankruptcy of the developers of the residential complex “Forces of Nature”
The government of the Leningrad region decided to complete the construction of the notorious complex on its own. For this purpose LenOblAIZhK (state construction company) agreed on the provision of investments with one of the large banks. The new developer demanded the bankruptcy of the Murinskoye-1 housing cooperative and Romantika LLC in order to gain access to the money of shareholders and use it to complete the construction of the first stage. Bankruptcy began, but information about the procedure was hidden for the first few months.
To convince the authorities to make the bankruptcy procedure as transparent and fair as possible, shareholders and shareholders staged single pickets in the city center, distributed leaflets, and even blocked Toksovskoye Highway. They ensured that information about the bankruptcy of the Murinskoye-1 housing cooperative appeared in the Kommersant newspaper (this is where the official procedure begins). After this, the compilation of a register of creditors' claims began.
By this time, the bankruptcy of Romantika LLC had been going on for a year. According to buyers, the company was delaying the bankruptcy process by requesting a postponement of meetings. Then Romantika achieved a change in financial manager. According to information initiative group shareholders, the new manager was a person associated with the O2 Development company. The loudest news of March 2017 on the topic of the residential complex “Forces of Nature” was the removal of the financial manager of the bankruptcy of the residential complex Murinskoye-1, Vadim Fedichev. LenOblAizhK insisted on his appointment, and representatives of the Murinskoye-1 housing cooperative convinced the court that Fedichev was harming the company. Igor Rulev became the new manager - according to buyers, this person is also affiliated with the developer.
Meanwhile, O2 Development stated that it had money to complete the construction of the facility and asked that money from the accounts of bankrupt companies be transferred to it. According to unconfirmed reports, the government of the Leningrad region is considering the option of completing the complex by the original developer - because then there is no need to take out a bank loan and fulfill obligations to 2.5 thousand buyers.
What is happening now with the Forces of Nature residential complex?
As of the end of April, the compilation of a register of creditors' claims against the Murinskoye-1 housing cooperative continues. This register includes those who:
- bought an apartment in the first stage of the Forces of Nature residential complex (buildings 1 and 2);
- bought an apartment in the second stage (buildings 3 and 4), but did not enter into a management agreement (such a buyer is a shareholder);
- sent documents for registration of a preschool educational institution, but did not receive a registered agreement;
- won the court to terminate the contract with the housing cooperative, but did not receive money for the apartment (alternatively, I received it, but not all).
Those who have entered the register of claims can apply for an apartment if the developer is declared bankrupt and his property is sold to pay off debts. Those who terminated the contract through the court will be able to claim payment of money.
Meanwhile, houses of varying degrees of completion have been waiting for their fate for four years. Buyers are most worried about buildings 1 and 2: they are almost ready for commissioning, but are not connected to heating and sewerage, and suffer from frost, temperature changes, and precipitation. In the photos that shareholders took during an excursion to the site in March 2018, cracks, fungus, and water stains are visible on the walls of the apartments.
How to get into the register of creditors of the Murino-1 housing cooperative
To join the register of requirements, you need to fill out the appropriate application and attach to it a copy of the agreement on joining the cooperative, as well as copies of payment documents. If you bought an apartment with a mortgage, attach a copy of the loan agreement with the bank.
According to the group of shareholders of the residential complex “Forces of Nature”, among the buyers there are at least several hundred people who bought housing by transfer or through the conclusion of a gift agreement. Sometimes these transactions were formalized retroactively, after the developer was prohibited from selling apartments on the problematic site. If you are one of these buyers, you can also join the register of claims, but you should consult with a lawyer before applying.
The package of documents for entry into the register must be prepared in four copies in order to send them:
- on legal address Housing cooperative (191014 St. Petersburg, Paradnaya St. D.3, building 2, lit. A, room 81-N);
- bankruptcy manager I. Rulev (197022 St. Petersburg, Bolshoy pr. P.S. 79 lit. A, room 10-N);
- V Arbitration court St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region (191015 St. Petersburg, Suvorovsky pr. 50-52).
It is better to take the documents to the court in person, taking with you the last, fourth copy. Ask to put a stamp on it indicating that your documents were accepted. The first two copies must be sent by registered letters with a list of investments and notifications of delivery. Notices and receipts from the mail must be retained.
After this you need to wait for a response from the court. There are four options:
- the application was reviewed and accepted, you were included in the register;
- the application was rejected (you will have to file an appeal);
- the application was left without progress (this means that there are shortcomings in the documents, they need to be corrected and filed with the court again);
- the application is not considered for unknown reasons - in this case, you can complain about the inaction of the court.
What should equity holders do?
The register of requirements for Romantika LLC also continues to grow. To get into it, you need to collect a similar package of documents, only instead of a copy of the housing cooperative agreement, attach a copy of the share participation agreement.

Hello, Vladimir Vladimirovich! We are contacting you because my wife and I are members of the cooperative ZhSK Murinskoe-1, TIN 4703133234, OGRN 1134703000629, location: 191014, St. Petersburg, st. Paradnaya, d.
3, building 2, letter A, room. 81N was registered on January 28, 2013 by the inspection of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the Vsevolzhsky district of Leningrad. Region Developer LLC "Romantika", TIN 4703132463. Share agreement N 02-23-12-14/IP/3-2-230 December 23, 2014.
The apartment was purchased with a mortgage using funds maternity capital in a multi-story residential complex“Forces of Nature”, stage II of construction, building 3. The planned completion date for the second stage of construction in the contract is approximately the first quarter of 2016. On our part, all shares were paid (there is a certificate of payment). To date, the customer company of the residential complex “Forces of Nature” o2 development has left more than 2,000 people homeless (there are 2,666 contracts). The object is officially recognized as a long-term construction project; shareholders enter the register of citizens affected by the actions of the developer, which is maintained by the construction committee of the Leningrad Region.
According to the share contribution agreements, shareholders were supposed to move into their apartments at the end of 2014, but have not yet exercised their right to housing. The local government, which issued the building permit, accuses citizens of being fooled by cheap prices and buying from an unreliable developer. The question arises? Why was an unreliable developer given permission to build such a huge residential complex? The developer, citing the fact that the approximate time frame for completing the project is not only in no hurry, but has stopped altogether construction activities six months ago, I even removed the cranes from the second stage and took out all the equipment.
Construction materials are secretly removed from the construction site by unknown companies in an unknown direction, while the developer shows strange documents for removal, even without the names of the contractors. The shareholders carried out many actions and finally initiated a comprehensive inspection of the construction site; inspections of the rest of the activities are still ongoing. Here is a brief summary of the state supervision inspection of the residential complex construction site. The most important result of the inspection is that O2 cannot prove the strength of the structures, they are made of unknown materials and it will be very difficult to accept them into operation. There is no design of water supply and sewerage networks that has received a positive expert opinion from the point of connection to the main networks, there are no documents confirming the fire resistance limit load-bearing structures, which affects the reliability and safety of the structure, its load-bearing capacity - the company does not provide relevant documents guaranteeing the load-bearing capacity of the walls. Without this, the facility is dangerous to the life and health of people and creates insurmountable obstacles to putting it into operation.
Shareholders are holding protests, an interdepartmental full inspection must be carried out with the initiation of criminal cases. So far, the prosecutor's office, the Department for Economic Crimes and law enforcement agencies refer to the lack of qualified personnel to conduct such an inspection and transfer complaints from one structure to another. For me and my family, the loss of paying the mortgage is significant, since there are no other sources of income other than mine. wages we don’t have (our family consists of 4 people - me, my wife, a 4-year-old child and a 2-year-old child. In This moment my wife is on maternity leave for up to 3 years without pay) and we spend a significant part of my salary on mortgage payments. Vladimir Vladimirovich!

Residential complex Forces of Nature from is located at Leningrad region, Vsevolozhsky district, Murino, highway in Lavriki, 64, the nearest metro station is Devyatkino and is positioned as an Eco-quarter. The developer Development O2 initially planned the completion date for the project in the 4th quarter of 2014.
2 years ago Development O2 offered to sign an additional agreement to postpone the deadline.
"Hello! I am a shareholder of O2 Development of the Forces of Nature facility, cash According to the contract, the developer was paid in full 100%. Initially, the completion date for the project was planned for the 4th quarter of 2014, at least that’s what they promised when concluding the contract; my family and I were counting on this date, since we have a small child. The progress of the construction of the Forces of Nature residential complex is such that to date our turn has not been commissioned, the deadlines are constantly being postponed, now there is information that, at best, the house will be commissioned no earlier than the 4th quarter of 2015, that is, the delay is already more than a year. It is currently unknown when the Forces of Nature residential complex will be completed. But that's not even the question. Yesterday we received a notification from the developer that it is necessary to sign an additional agreement to postpone the construction period, otherwise we will not receive the apartment and the house will not be delivered. Please tell me whether it is worth signing such an agreement and what will happen if we refuse to sign it, if I understand correctly, we should not sign it since the construction of the house does not depend on us, we have already paid our money.”
Using the example of LEK "London Park", where contracts with shareholders were renegotiated 3-4 times and each time with a postponement of the transfer of the apartment, we can conclude that by signing an additional agreement, you do not receive a guarantee of receiving the apartment within the new period promised by the developer.
Everything turned out to be the same here. For more than 2 years, 2.5 thousand equity holders have been waiting for their housing.
May 2017. New developer.
Residential complex Forces of Nature will be completed in 2019 The shareholders managed to draw attention to the problem of construction of the Forces of Nature residential complex and in May 2017, the complex got a new developer - the RR-City Company.
RR City will begin work from own funds, negotiations are underway with Baltinvestbank about providing a loan. The investor plans to receive additional funds from the sale of apartments.
RR-City will continue construction of the complex and plans to complete it by the 2nd quarter of 2019: building 1 - by October 31, 2017, building 2 - by December 25, 2017, building 3 - by September 30, 2018, building 4 - by July 30 2019
On June 1, 2017, work began on the site of the Forces of Nature residential complex. It is planned to prepare the site for continued construction within a week, after which contractors work will begin.
In June 2017, RR-City LLC plans to hold a meeting of shareholders and sign additional agreements to the share participation agreements on new construction terms. Shareholders will be faced with the question of waiving compensation for delays in delivery in exchange for completion of construction.
For example, a penalty for an apartment worth 4 million rubles will amount to more than 1.5 million rubles! Which, you see, is significant.
To make it clear what amounts we are talking about for the developer, we will give an approximate calculation. For example, in case of violation of the deadline for delivery of a residential building (complex) with 300 apartments by 1 year average cost 4 million rub. the penalty for shareholders will be 270 million rubles. In addition, if the penalty is not paid voluntarily, the law provides for the payment of a fine for violation of consumer rights in the amount of 50% of the collected amount. This is another 135 million rubles. Already more than 400 million rubles. Plus moral damages and representatives' services. The period of delay is already more than 2 years. Even taking into account the likely reduction in the amount of the penalty by the court under Article 333 Civil Code RF, as well as the fact that not all shareholders will go to court to collect the penalty, the amount still turns out to be cosmic.
