Construction stories of Grigory Naginsky. Grigory Naginsky
When the defense department was headed by a native of the St. Petersburg business, former dealer of sideboards and stools Anatoly Serdyukov, it became clear that new people were needed for his great achievements. They are as experienced as the Kosovanites, but at the same time they are members of their team, on whom you can rely without fear. Many expected businessmen from St. Petersburg and the surrounding area to join his team. : the founding father of the Titan-2 construction concern, member of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation and uncrowned emperor of Sosnovy Bor, Grigory Naginsky, became the new chief quartermaster of the Ministry of Defense. It is he who will have to sort out the 113 billion rubles allocated for the construction of housing for the defenders of the Motherland this year.
Having learned about this, one of the military men gloomily joked that the appointment of such a person was some kind of omen. After all, the most powerful American missiles that ever threatened our country with a nuclear strike were called Titan-2.
Stages of the long journey
At a superficial glance, the biography of the new hope of the homeless officers looks extremely blissful. After graduating from the Ural Polytechnic Institute, Mr. Naginsky successfully works in production, by the age of 30 he had risen to the post of chief engineer of the installation and construction department N90 in Sosnovy Bor. Since then, his life has been closely connected with the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant.After MSU N90 was transformed into a joint-stock company, Grigory Mikhailovich became its deputy general director, and when the enterprise and a number of other companies merged into the Titan-2 Concern holding, he headed the Board of Directors of the new company. Among his business partners there were extremely influential people, such as the director of OJSC Kirishinefteorgsintez Vadim Somov. And here it’s not far from very powerful figures, like the main oil trader of all Rus' standing behind Somov and Swiss resident Gennady Timchenko. With such connections, the path to big politics is predetermined. In the same year of 1999, when judoka Putin became prime minister, businessman Naginsky shrewdly headed the Sosnovy Bor Judo Federation. In 2001, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region, two years later he began representing regional legislators in the Federation Council, transferring the business to his beloved wife, daughter and managers, and today he has become one of the heads of the federal defense department. […]
["Kommersant", 01/18/2010, "There is a new deputy for apartments in the Ministry of Defense": Grigory Naginsky […] On September 16, 2003, he was elected a member of the Federation Council (F) from the Legislature. Immediately after his election to the Federation Council, he formally retired from managing the holding, transferring the business to his daughter Elena Naginskaya. At the time of his election to the Federation Council, Mr. Naginsky owned shares in 12 different companies, the largest of which was ZAO Concern Titan-2. - Insert by K.Ru]
Shaking Senator
Upon closer examination, the political biography of Grigory Mikhailovich turned out to be very tortuous. He tried to become a member of the State Duma in the 1999 elections from the conditionally opposition Yabloko. Once in the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region, Naginsky emerged as a convinced “United Russia”; during the great battle between Governor Serdyukov and his predecessor Vadim Gustov, he left the party, and until his last appointment he again received voters in the “bearish” reception room.And his further orientation is a great mystery. In the Legislative Assembly, according to reviews from deputies, the main “titanium” remained passive, and in the Federation Council for six years (!) it was noted with the only bill “On the technical regulations of perfumery and cosmetic products.” Therefore, it seems that when Naginsky said: “In three years in the Federation Council, I understood how to work in the Federation Council!”, he somewhat embellished the reality. But the earlier statement: “I’m already the fourth person to be elected.” can be trusted. Previously elected to the Federation Council from the regional Legislative Assembly, authoritative businessman Damir Shadayev and super-authoritative privatizer Alfred Koch had to resign after protests from the prosecutor's office. She also protested the election of Naginsky, who was elected on the same day as proposed, taking potential competitors by surprise. It is curious that the deputies who nominated Grigory Mikhailovich with 36 votes were initially able to reject the prosecutor’s protest with only 23 mandates, and only on the second attempt were they able to finally repel the attack with 27 votes.
Such fluctuations involuntarily suggest various manipulations, which can really make you shake. Given all this, you might think that the respected senator was slacking off on the job. And you would be very mistaken - for such an energetic person, every minute in the parliamentary chair was converted into something more real than some vulgar bills.
So don’t let anyone get you!
The business of the Titan-2 holding was tied to the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant (LNPP), located in Sosnovy Bor. And somehow it happened that it was the senator from the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region, Grigory Naginsky, who became interested in nuclear energy. We can give another example of a friendly symphony of business circles and the legislative branch. In the summer of 2004, the appropriately stimulated media wrote with delight how the senator supported the initiative of Sosnovy Bor residents, who managed to defeat the construction project of a harmful aluminum smelter in the city in a referendum. In a letter to Vice-Governor Grigory Dvas, People's Representative Naginsky so sternly asked whether the regional administration takes into account the opinion of the local population, that a federal legislator with a titanium past could be mistaken for some desperate Greenpeace activist.And only a few remembered that before the management of Titan-2 itself put forward an application to participate in the tender for the work. The piece was fat: almost 1.5 billion rubles were planned to be allocated for the first stage of construction alone. It seems that Naginsky quickly realized that he had lost. Without waiting for the final, he submitted to the tender committee and supported the public protest. Completely unrelated to this aluminum story, I remember the poor official from Alexander Ostrovsky’s play “The Dowry,” who, having discharged a revolver at the girl who rejected him, exclaimed, “So don’t let anyone get you!”
Events around the project to build a fifth gas station in the city developed completely differently. Many people wondered why a new gas station was needed 400 meters from the existing one, if this facility, like other gas stations in Sosnovy Bor, was unlikely to be too busy? An exact answer never emerged, but evil tongues told how a certain business parliamentarian, who was refused gas during his lunch break, vowed to kill his offender’s owners by any means necessary. The owners of the gas station whose employee so angered a high-ranking motorist can consider themselves very lucky. The story with the alternative gasoline filling point took place precisely in those years when the head of the local 13th department of the Organized Crime Control Department, Alexander Gaponenko, turned around in Sosnovy Bor, whose art was more than once described in St. Petersburg newspapers.
Among other things, Novaya Gazeta journalists cited the complaint of citizen Fominykh, who was handcuffed by the Organized Crime Control Department and thrown into the Glukhovka River at gunpoint. When Fominykh brought a statement to the prosecutor's office, they tore it up and said that they would not let their friend be offended. The story with the St. Petersburg resident, who was detained by a man who introduced himself as Alexander Gaponenko under the guise of an important witness in the case under investigation, also ended in nothing. The perplexed citizen was terrorized for three hours, demanding to testify against businessmen Penkins, completely unknown to him, threatening otherwise to plant cartridges or drugs. Subsequently, Gaponenko simply rammed one of the Penkins with his official car and, according to the victim’s statement, promised to kill him before doing so.
It would seem, what does the offended parliamentarian have to do with it? In general, it would have nothing to do with it if the ferocious opera did not have the reputation of an old friend of his business partner from OJSC Titanmet, Igor Zheleznov. The friendship was masculine and strong - one of the St. Petersburg newspapers even published photographs of both while relaxing after the bath. Well, how would they ask the brave UBOP officer to solve the issue with the gas station, and he would go to sort it out in his own way?
Your own controller?
But now the brightest prospects have opened up for Mr. Naginsky. They have known the Minister of Defense for a long time. Back in the fall of 2008, JSC Glavtitanstroy was supposed to receive an order from the defense department for the construction of Russia's largest scientific and practical medical center, located on the territory of the Military Medical Academy. The total investment in the project was expected to be 12 billion rubles, and such a multi-budget center should begin operating no later than 2015. In the future, commercial facilities may also be located on its territory.Journalists identified the initiator - according to the newspaper Delovoy Peterburg, the structures of the co-owner of Titan-2, Grigory Naginsky, were behind the renovation of the VMA.
[“Business Petersburg”, 09/10/2008, “The senator from the Leningrad region will “attach” the military”: Structures of Concern Titan-2, co-owned by the senator from the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region Grigory Naginsky, will take care of the Ministry of Defense facilities in St. Petersburg.
Business Petersburg learned that the structures of Concern Titan-2 are preparing a project for the renovation of the territory belonging to the Military Medical Academy (MMA). Until now, Titan-2, being one of the largest construction enterprises in the field, did not have its own projects in St. Petersburg. The concern mainly specialized in industrial facilities, including the reconstruction of the LNPP in Sosnovy Bor.
On the territory of the Military Medical Academy (limited by the streets of Botkin, Academician Lebedev and the railway tracks leading to the Finlyandsky Station), by order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Glavtitanstroy company plans to build the largest multifunctional scientific and practical medical center in Russia.
The head of the military medical academy, Major General Alexander Belevitin, assured that this project will be implemented exclusively with budget funds. According to him, the complex will include clinical and diagnostic buildings with a total area of 100 thousand square meters. m, classrooms and conference rooms for 2.2 thousand seats, dormitories for cadets and teachers of the Military Medical Academy with a total area of 17 thousand square meters. m and parking.
The total investment in the project will be 10-12 billion rubles, said Natalya Karelina, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Glavtitanstroy. The project will take 6-7 years to complete. […] According to Natalya Karelina, it was possible to enter the project thanks to established connections with the Ministry of Defense. By order of the military department, the company built housing for the military in the Leningrad region. - Insert by K.Ru]
At the time, only a few observers expressed surprise that industrial builders were suddenly entrusted with such a contract. What now? Let's assume that our colleagues from Business Petersburg were not mistaken. Then it turns out that the business structures of the holding created by the entrepreneur Naginsky will use state money, and this wonderful process will be controlled by the head of the Department of Cantonment and Arrangement of the Ministry of Defense Naginsky and his comrades in the Ministry of Defense? To be honest, it is difficult to imagine a person who, finding himself in such a situation, will not begin, as the hero of the comedy “Prisoner of the Caucasus” used to say, to confuse “his own wool with the state’s.” Or did Mr. Minister urgently need a citizen who could distribute financial flows and privatize army property with his signature?
It is quite likely, given that Serdyukov’s department has been in scandals lately. Then in Perm, comrades from the rear rent out a building for the Lame Horse club, and the would-be tenants burn it down along with one and a half hundred visitors. In Moscow, Anatoly Eduardovich himself promises to transfer 10,651.1 million rubles to the budget, proceeds from the sale of military property and military equipment, but, according to the Accounts Chamber, he will transfer only 1,500 million and kopecks. When billions are lost along the way, how can you not do without a reliable explorer, whose nose has not been undermined by a single control mosquito for fifteen years! Original of this material

“I’m the fourth. I’m just shaking all over!”
Yesterday, deputies of the legislative assembly of the Leningrad region elected their new representative in the Federation Council. He became a regional Duma deputy, nuclear power plant builder and millionaire Grigory Naginsky. Over the past year and a half, the regional parliament has elected its fourth senator.The seat of senator from the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region has been empty since February - since Valery Golubev, who occupied it, moved to the position of head of the Gazkomplektimpex company. […]
There was not a word on the senator's re-election in the draft agenda for yesterday's meeting. But when the deputies began to formulate an additional agenda, the issue of terminating the powers of Damir Shadayev was brought up for consideration. At the same time, a group of deputies close to the presidential embassy in the North-Western District lobbied for a change in the regulations on the election of a representative in the Federation Council: a provision was removed from it that did not allow the nomination of candidates and the voting itself at one plenary meeting.
Nobody paid attention to this. However, before the lunch break, the chief federal inspector for the region, Nikolai Sedykh, asked the floor: he drew the attention of the deputies to the fact that on September 21, re-elections of the governor will be held in the region, and therefore, on the same day, the powers of the only remaining member of the Federation Council from the Leningrad region, Sergei Vasiliev, representing executive power.
The deputies immediately redid the agenda and included the question of new senatorial elections. Some deputies were indignant and said that they were being dragged into “another scam.” Threatening to challenge this decision in court, they left the room. But Parliament Speaker Kirill Polyakov said that after changing the rules for holding elections, there were no legal obstacles left: “The personnel department has all the documents for each of you, including tax returns. So any of us can run without leaving our chair.” While the debate was going on, it turned out that Mr. Polyakov already had two applications on his table - from deputies Grigory Naginsky and Nikolai Kashin (the latter has a reputation in parliament as a “duty candidate” - he always runs when elections are threatened with cancellation due to the lack of alternatives).
During the secret ballot, 36 out of 49 deputies voted for Mr. Naginsky. He told a Kommersant correspondent that he is a “professional builder of nuclear power plants” and has experience in managing small, medium and large companies. He considers the Leningrad region "a very large enterprise." However, he promised to tell about his plans for his activities in the Federation Council only “after all the formalities have been settled”: “I’m already the fourth person to be elected. I’m just shaking all over!” […]
St. Petersburg top managers in the team of Minister Serdyukov
Original of this material© "Business Petersburg", 01/22/2010
St. Petersburg now has its own Ministry of Defense
Natalia BelogrudovaAfter Anatoly Serdyukov replaced Sergei Ivanov as Minister of Defense in February 2007, the Ministry of Defense began actively recruiting top managers from St. Petersburg for senior positions.
The new landing of St. Petersburg people in the ministry for high positions is another confirmation of this. First, Nikolai Tamodin, general director of Nienschanz CJSC, was appointed general director of Voentelecom OJSC, a structure of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
A few days later, senator from the Leningrad region Grigory Naginsky took over the post of head of the quartering and arrangement of troops - deputy minister of defense.
Tamodin and Naginsky are far from the first (and, apparently, not the last) people from St. Petersburg business/government who, over the past 3 years, have exchanged their St. Petersburg residence permit for Moscow, and their professional activities in civilian organizations for military offices.
The first of the notable settlers was Lev Vinnik. In April 2007, literally a couple of months after Serdyukov’s military appointment, Vinnik left the post of director of the Investment Management State Institution under the St. Petersburg Construction Committee to take the position of adviser to the Minister of Defense on construction issues.
Before taking the post of head of the State Enterprise, Vinnik worked at the construction corporation "Vozrozhdenie St. Petersburg" (LSR Group). Vinnik was born in 1967 in Chelyabinsk, has two higher educations (LIAP and LISI).
What exactly was his job in the ministry? Judging by some publications in the press - in the effective sale of real estate of the Armed Forces. Nezavisimaya Gazeta, with reference to an officer of the cantonment and arrangement service, wrote: “The entire organization of work on the sale of real estate of the RF Armed Forces is handled by the Advisor to the Minister of Defense Lev Vinnik. It was at Vinnik’s suggestion that the sale of military garrisons on Rublyovka and the Moscow Ring Road was organized in May 2008... He also proposed moving the Navy headquarters to St. Petersburg and finding surplus real estate at the expense of military universities in large cities of the Russian Federation, consolidating them."
Also, Vinnik’s surname is mentioned several times in the press in the following context. He, like two others from St. Petersburg (Leonid Sorokko, ex-general director of the St. Petersburg construction company ZAO Peter the Great, was a contractor for military construction organizations, and Alexander Gorubnov, ex-general director of the Leninets defense plant), was entrusted with developing a new privatization program movable and immovable property assigned to the military department. As the newspapers wrote, they must divide the assets of the Ministry of Defense into those that the army needs and those that can be sold on the market.
Leonid Sorokko joined the Ministry of Defense, like Lev Vinnik, quite soon after the ministry was headed by Anatoly Serdyukov. First he became his adviser, and then the head of the newly formed Main Directorate of Capital Construction.
After the suicide in February 2008 of Colonel General Viktor Vlasov, who held the post of head of the cantonment and accommodation service, Sorokko was appointed acting head of the SRiO. True, he did not hold this post for long - only a few months.
Naginsky and Tamodin will not feel like they are in a foreign land in the ministry. Two more from St. Petersburg - Advisor to the Minister of Defense Vladimir Dedyukhin and Head of the Department of State Civil Service of the Ministry Valentin Vereshchaka.
The first, before joining the military department, was deputy minister in the Ministry of Regional Development. And even earlier, in the administration of St. Petersburg, he held the position of chairman of the committee for improvement and road maintenance. At one time, he made a great mark: in May 2004, Governor Valentina Matvienko publicly reprimanded him, saying that “failure to comply with financial discipline is a sign of carelessness and not entirely professional activity.”
Vereshchaka, a native Leningrader, received two higher educations, and has been in the state civil service since 2001 (worked in the office of the Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Northwestern Federal District, in the Federal Tax Service). The newly minted “defense specialist” Nikolai Tamodin is perhaps the youngest of Serdyukov’s current St. Petersburg team - he is 33 years old. Tamodin joined Nyenskans immediately after graduating from the University of Railways in 1999. He started as a sales manager. Since the summer of 2008 - General Director.
Under Tamodin, Nienschanz entered the top twenty largest Russian IT companies. The new place of work - Voentelecom OJSC (formerly the Federal State Unitary Enterprise of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the sole shareholder is the Ministry of Defense) - Tamodin promises to change beyond recognition. “In 2 years you won’t recognize Voentelecom. I’m sure it will become one of the leading modern enterprises in the country,” he said in an interview with Cnews.
It must be said that Voentelecom is a key player in the Russian communications market. Its tasks include: providing operator communication services for all categories of users, including in closed military camps; design, construction and reconstruction of facilities and communication networks of the Ministry of Defense and other federal executive authorities of the Russian Federation. In 2008, Voentelecom's revenue amounted to 581.7 million rubles, and last fall it was announced that the company "has more than 25 thousand contracts in execution with an annual turnover of more than 1 billion rubles."
Grigory Naginsky, who became Serdyukov’s deputy, is a prominent person in St. Petersburg. A native of Orsk, senator from the Leningrad region, founder of the Titan-2 holding (the volume of orders in 2009 was about 16 billion rubles), his main task in his new post is to provide housing for all military personnel standing in line in just a year. In the coming year, it will be necessary to build and buy 45 thousand apartments for 113 billion rubles. Naginsky, according to rumors, borrowed the name of the holding from the American intercontinental ballistic missile Titan II.
“In the West, the ministries of defense mainly consist of civilians. But the fact is that the ministries there are structured completely differently than ours: it is a body of civilian control over the armed forces. In Russia, the Ministry of Defense, in essence, has not changed at all - it "is still a Soviet body of military command and control of the armed forces. And in this case, there really is no need for civilians in it. Their arrival will not add to its effectiveness," says Alexander Khramchikhin, head of the analytical department of the Institute of Political and Military Analysis.
November 19th, 2013
The People's Control Committee continues the topic of corruption scandals in the Russian Ministry of Defense and brings to your attention material previously published on the website comnarcon.com about one of the former functionaries of Serdyukov’s “saw-and-recoil” machine. Meet Grigory Mikhailovich Naginsky.
Naginsky Grigory Mikhailovich, born on June 16, 1958, native of Orsk, Orenburg Region. Graduated from the Ural Polytechnic Institute (Sverdlovsk). Has an academic degree of Candidate of Economic Sciences.
After graduating from university, he worked at MSU No. 1 of the Energospetsmontazh Production Association in Kirovo-Chepetsk, Kirov Region, where he successively held all positions from site foreman to deputy chief engineer. In 1987, as the chief engineer of the installation area, he supervised repair work at the Fourth Power Unit of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, after which he received the position of chief engineer of MSU No. 90 of the Energospetsmontazh Production Association in Sosnovy Bor, Leningrad Region.
In 1992, after the corporatization of MSU, Naginsky became deputy general director of OJSC MSU-90, and in 1995 he initiated the merger of a number of Sosnovy Bor enterprises, including MSU-90, into the holding company Concern Titan-2, becoming chairman of its board directors. At the same time, from 1990 to 2001, he was a deputy of the municipal assembly of the city of Sosnovy Bor.
In 2001, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region, where he worked in the standing committees on budget and taxes, housing and communal services, fuel and energy complex and construction. In 2003, he became a member of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation from the Leningrad region. He was a member of the Industrial Policy Committee.
In January 2010, Naginsky was appointed to the post of head of cantonment and arrangement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, and in June of the same year he became Deputy Minister of Defense. In April 2011, he took the position of director of the Federal Agency for Special Construction (Spetsstroy).
On July 25, 2013, Naginsky G.M. was relieved of his post as director of Spetsstroy.
Naginsky has the Order of Courage, which he was awarded for “courage and dedication shown during the liquidation of the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant,” and the honorary title “Honored Builder of the Russian Federation.”
Married, has a daughter.
Closest relatives:
Wife: Tatyana Ivanovna Naginskaya, born 01/05/1958, entrepreneur. She has been a co-owner of the Titan-2 holding since her husband became a member of the Federation Council.
Daughter: Elena Grigorievna Naginskaya, born September 26, 1978, General Director of the Titan-2 holding. Carries out operational management of Naginsky's assets.
Contacts:
Born 01/08/1962, former Minister of Defense. Longtime acquaintance of Naginsky. It was on Serdyukov’s initiative that Naginsky was invited to the Ministry of Defense and received from the minister “carte blanche” for his actions. Together we implemented “gray” schemes to siphon funds from the state budget.
Serdyukov Valery Pavlovich, born November 9, 1945, former governor of the Leningrad region. Naginsky managed to establish close contacts with him and even become one of those close to him. As a result, Serdyukov lobbied for the appointment of Naginsky as a member of the Federation Council from the Leningrad region.
Somov Vadim Evseevich, born May 22, 1951, General Director of Kirishinefteorgsintez LLC. Business partner of Naginsky in the 1990s. It was Somov who introduced Naginsky to Gennady Timchenko. They continue to maintain relations to this day.
Timchenko Gennady Nikolaevich, born November 9, 1952, entrepreneur, owner of the private investment group Volga Group. We met through Vadim Somov. In the late 1990s, they collaborated on a number of business “projects.” According to some reports, Timchenko finally agreed at the highest level on the appointment of Naginsky as a member of the Federation Council.
Chubkina Marina Evgenievna, born March 31, 1981, advisor to the president of Russian Railways, former chief of staff of Spetsstroy. She was Naginsky’s assistant in the Federation Council, then he took her with him to the Ministry of Defense. At one time they were in a close relationship; Naginsky even supported her in publishing a collection of poems.
Food for thought:
The initial period of the biography of Grigory Mikhailovich Naginsky was not particularly different from the biography of millions of Soviet middle managers. Born into a family of engineers in the small town of Orsk, he studied at a school where Grisha, although he was not an excellent student, was also not known as a hooligan or blockhead. Then the institute, where Naginsky was also not particularly different. He was a member of the Komsomol, but did not try to become an activist. He was a diligent student, although he didn’t qualify for a diploma, but he passed his exams on time and was not found in bad company. And Gregory had no time to play tricks, he got married very early, a daughter was born soon, and he had to feed his family.
After graduation, the young specialist Naginsky was assigned to Kirovo-Chepetsk, to the Installation and Construction Department of the Energospetsmontazh Production Association of the USSR Ministry of Medium Engineering, which was engaged in installation work at the facilities of the Kirovo-Chepetsk Chemical Plant, as well as at nearby nuclear power plants. Here Grigory Mikhailovich, by the age of twenty-nine, rose to the rank of deputy chief engineer of the department. The chief engineer, however, was not going anywhere, and Naginsky would have had to wait a long time for a new position if it had not been for the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. After it, restoration work began at the Fourth Power Unit, a new installation area was created, where they could not find a chief engineer for a long time. Many did not agree to go there, but Naginsky agreed. And I was right. After returning from Chernobyl, he was invited as chief engineer to MSU No. 90 in the city of Sosnovy Bor, Leningrad Region, servicing the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant.
From that moment on, Grigory Mikhailovich’s career took off. After the collapse of the USSR, he discovered an entrepreneurial streak in himself when, as deputy general director, he took part in the corporatization of MSU No. 90. And when in 1995, MSU merged with a number of other Sosnovy Bor enterprises into the Titan-2 holding, Naginsky managed head the board of directors of the new company. Gradually, he made connections both in high offices and among “authoritative” entrepreneurs, beginning to crush the city of nuclear scientists under himself. Titan-2, working on orders from LNPP, has become one of the most prosperous companies in the Leningrad region. Behind his back, Naginsky began to be called, neither more nor less, “the Emperor of Sosnovy Bor,” since without Grigory Mikhailovich not a single issue was resolved in the city of nuclear scientists.
Soon Naginsky felt cramped in Sosnovy Bor, he wanted to reach a higher level. Just then the elections to the State Duma of 1999 arrived, in which Grigory Mikhailovich decided to take part. He ran for the Yabloko party, but did not become a deputy. Naginsky had to wait another two years before he managed to receive the coveted mandate, albeit of a lower rank: the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region. But this time he ran for the correct party, Unity. At the same time, grasping the conjuncture of the moment, Grigory Mikhailovich headed the judo federation of the city of Sosnovy Bor.
Since Naginsky went to the Legislative Assembly exclusively to “resolve issues,” then, of course, he did not particularly burden himself with legislative activity. And in general, he was an infrequent guest in the building on Suvorovsky Prospekt. Much more often, Grigory Mikhailovich was in the steam room with the governor of the Leningrad region Valery Serdyukov. And this paid him off handsomely. In 2003, Naginsky became a senator from the region.
Grigory Mikhailovich spent six years in the Federation Council. Over the years, he also did not show himself, except for the fact that he initiated the draft law “On the technical regulations of perfumery and cosmetic products”, which is extremely important for Russia. It is likely that Naginsky simply did not want to once again remind about his modest person, since his election took place with obvious violations of the law (his candidacy was approved by deputies on the same day that it was nominated), arousing interest from the prosecutor’s office. Not without the help of Governor Serdyukov, the attack was repulsed, but still an unpleasant aftertaste remained.
But, despite his passivity as a member of the upper house of the Russian parliament, Grigory Mikhailovich cannot be called a slacker. On the contrary, he is a very active person. He simply did not consider the usual sitting in the senator’s chair to be an activity, doing other things than putting forward bills that no one needed. So, he continued to do business, despite the fact that he officially transferred all the affairs of the Titan-2 holding to his wife. Naginsky continued to keep his finger on the pulse of events in Sosnovy Bor.
Thus, in the summer of 2004, Grigory Mikhailovich sharply opposed the construction of an aluminum plant in the city of nuclear scientists. He not only supported the residents who voted against the construction of this enterprise in a referendum, but also sent an angry letter to Vice-Governor Grigory Dvas, in which he asked how long the regional administration would allow environmentally harmful factories to be built on the shores of the Gulf of Finland. It seemed that Naginsky had suddenly turned into a fierce environmentalist. But, as it turned out later, the point was not that the senator joined the ranks of Greenpeace, but that the management of Titan-2 participated in a tender for construction and installation work worth 1.5 billion rubles, but lost . Therefore, the senator had to join the ranks of environmental defenders.
However, it should be noted that the failure with the tender for the construction of an aluminum smelter was a one-time failure for Grigory Mikhailovich. Basically, his holding in Sosnovy Bor was a success. Taking advantage of the closed status of the city, Naginsky actually acted on the principle “I can do whatever I want.” It was through him that key appointments in the city administration took place, his proxies managed the city budget. Through Titan-2, municipal apartments were sold to the “right people” and premises were rented out. The same Titan-2 could easily take ownership of the building to pay for repair debts. It is not surprising that Naginsky’s holding became the contractor for the construction of the second stage of the LNPP in 2007.
In 2010, Grigory Mikhailovich reached a new level when he was appointed (at the instigation of the then minister Anatoly Serdyukov) to the post of head of cantonment and arrangement of the Moscow Region, and six months later became deputy minister. They had known Serdyukov for a long time. In particular, back in the fall of 2008, JSC Glavtitanstroy, controlled by Naginsky, received an order from the military department for the construction of a scientific and practical medical center located on the territory of the Military Medical Academy in St. Petersburg. The total investment in the project was expected to be 12 billion rubles, and the center should begin operating no later than 2015. At the same time, no one was embarrassed that such a contract was awarded to a company engaged in industrial construction. Moreover, against the backdrop of the chaos going on in the Ministry of Defense, this situation looked quite logical.
In his new post, Naginsky oversaw, among other things, the construction of housing for the military. However, he did not win any laurels in this area. The line of military personnel in need of apartments moved extremely slowly, despite the astronomical sums allocated from the budget. It should be noted that Grigory Mikhailovich’s position was, if not execution, then mortally dangerous. In any case, one of his predecessors, Colonel General Viktor Vlasov, shot himself in his office. But Naginsky, although he seriously cleaned up the personnel that he “inherited” from the former deputy minister, Army General Alexander Kosovan, and actively spent money, did not suffer at all. Moreover, Serdyukov liked how Grigory Mikhailovich distributed financial flows and privatized army property, so the minister soon found him a new position. In 2011, Naginsky became director of the Federal Agency for Special Construction (Spetsstroy).
This structure, although formally part of the Ministry of Defense, actually stood somewhat apart. The previous head of Spetsstroy, Army General Abroskin, was critical of the minister’s reforms, and senior military builders occupied leading positions under him. In turn, Naginsky carried out an “optimization” of the agency, expelling almost all the military from there, replacing them with civilian specialists. How competent these specialists were can be judged by the fact that his former assistant on the Federation Council, a lawyer by education and a poet by vocation, Marina Chubkina, took the post of head of the Central Administrative Department of Spetsstroy. She had zero experience in the construction industry, except for the fact that for six months she acted as deputy head of quartering and arrangement, and for another ten months she headed the Department of Planning and Coordination of Construction of Facilities of the Russian Defense Ministry.
But Grigory Mikhailovich’s task as director of Spetsstroy was not to accelerate the pace of construction of defense facilities, but to organize various schemes, the beneficiary of which was, among other things, the Minister of Defense himself. Thus, with the assistance of Naginsky, the sale of shares of OJSC 31 State Design Institute for Special Construction (31GPISS) was organized, which were purchased at a reduced price by the companies VitaProject and Sosnovoborelektromontazh. The first structure was controlled by Serdyukov’s notorious passion, Evgenia Vasilyeva, and the second by Tatyana Ivanovna and Elena Grigorievna Naginsky, respectively the wife and daughter of the head of Spetsstroy.
Grigory Mikhailovich did not forget about his business. Thus, in February 2012, Spetsstroy, instead of Rosatom’s subsidiary SPb Atomenergoproekt, became the new general contractor for the construction of the second Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant (LNPP-2) in Sosnovy Bor. At the same time, one of the largest subcontractors at the time of the change of general contractor was the Titan-2 concern founded by Naginsky, whose director was his daughter Elena, and his wife Tatyana was a co-owner. Thus, Naginsky became one of the richest officials in the security bloc.
However, in November 2012, Serdyukov was dismissed, and the new Minister of Defense, Sergei Shoigu, was not nearly as complementary to Grigory Mikhailovich as his predecessor. A wave of criticism fell on Naginsky. He was reminded of the slowness in the construction of the naval base in Novorossiysk, and the unavailability of the launch complex for the Angara launch vehicle, the launch of which was postponed for this reason from the summer of 2013 to 2014. Shoigu's dissatisfaction gradually accumulated until, finally, it resulted in Naginsky's resignation from the post of head of Spetsstroy. In the Oboronservis case, he is currently serving as a witness, but who knows what will happen next? Grigory Mikhailovich has been too “presumptuous” lately, he felt too confident, thinking that even under the new minister he would be able to carry out his old “schemes”.

After graduating from university, he worked at MSU No. 1 of the Energospetsmontazh Production Association in Kirovo-Chepetsk, Kirov Region, where he successively held all positions from site foreman to deputy chief engineer.

In 1992, after the corporatization of MSU, Naginsky became deputy general director of OJSC MSU-90, and in 1995 he initiated the merger of a number of Sosnovy Bor enterprises, including MSU-90, into the holding company Concern Titan-2, becoming chairman of its board directors.

The first serious test for The future billionaire and politician, who graduated from the Ural Polytechnic Institute in 1980 with a degree in industrial heat and power engineering, was involved in the liquidation of the Chernobyl disaster: as the chief engineer of the installation area of the Energospetsmontazh trust, in 1986 he supervised the work at the Shelter facility.
In 1988, he moved to Sosnovy Bor and became the chief engineer of MSU-90, on the basis of which the “” concern was created in 1995, uniting all the key Sosnovy Bor enterprises working in the field of nuclear construction at the Leningrad NPP. Naginsky, having become one of the key shareholders of the concern, headed its board of directors.
In 2001, he was elected as a deputy, in 2002 he joined the "", and in 2003 he became a senator from the Leningrad region, heading the nuclear energy commission.
In 2007, Gregory Naginsky was again re-elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region and was again reappointed to the Senate. At the same time, he made significant progress along the party line - he was elected to the presidium of the regional political council of United Russia.
New page in life Grigory Naginsky began with the appointment of his deputy minister of defense in the team. Until the most scandalous resignation of the minister in 2013, Naginsky headed Spetsstroy of Russia, which, in particular, acts as the general contractor of LNPP-2. During this time, the concern has become almost a monopolist in work related to.
In 2013, at the height of the investigation into the Serdyukov case, Grigory Naginsky wrote a letter of resignation from the post of head of his own free will.
While working on In the civil service, Grigory Naginsky transferred the business to the family: the shares were received by his wife Tatyana and daughter Elena, who also took the post of general director of the concern. In 2014, after leaving the civil service, Grigory Naginsky returned to the board of directors of Titan-2. It is noteworthy that the peak period of Grigory Naginsky’s political career coincided with the active cooperation of the Titan-2 structures with the structures controlled by another ex-senator. The bank and its subsidiaries were active in financial activities in Sosnovy Bor. But by 2013, this cooperation came to naught.
By the way, people from Titan 2 who have held senior positions in the administration of Sosnovy Bor for a year in a row, and firms owned by the Naginsky family actively participate in municipal government orders. In particular, at the end of 2015, the local education committee made Astyages JSC the single supplier of food for all kindergartens in the city (previously, each kindergarten held its own auction, and Astyages did not win all of them).

Construction is a business that I have been doing all my life. I am interested in non-standard, new projects in high-tech industries - nuclear, chemical. They allow you to constantly move forward, develop yourself and develop your business. The Titan-2 holding turned 20 years old, which is a worthy age for the modern history of Russia. Since last year, Titan-2 entered into a foreign project - we became the main contractor for the construction of the Finnish nuclear power plant Hanhikivi-1. This is a new stage, a new experience, we are learning to work in the European market, we already have more than 100 Finnish contractors. As for the goals that I set for myself... As you know, a business is created to be sold or passed on to descendants. My option is the second one. In general, I am a supporter of nepotism in a good sense. Entire family dynasties work at our holding enterprises. My daughter Elena has been working with me for many years. We are a team. And in the team, someone develops a strategy, and someone is involved in its daily implementation.
