The case of the Council of the Federation, the case of Gazprom or the cause of all of us?
This happened with the article about the detention of Senator Rauf Arashukov. A simple explanation of the TFR was not associated with those detentions that occurred literally at the same time as described. The murderer and several senior leaders of the regional divisions of Gazprom.
And where to look for specialists, if not in Gazprom? The blessing there is someone to ask, after all, in Siberia, people associated with gas and oil are somewhat more than in any part of the country.
Thanks to the advice of a specialist from the neighboring Tyumen region, much has become clearer, and many eyes have opened. My interlocutor (yes, lucky) was with inspection checks in that area. True, not where arrests go today in bundles, but in Kabardino-Balkaria.
But hell, to be honest, radish is not sweeter, judging by his words.
The fact is that the well-known name Gazprom includes several organizations with completely different tasks. I think the readers who viewed the list of detained managers of this company paid attention to this.
So, in the structure of Gazprom, there are structural divisions of Gazprom Gas Distribution and Gazprom Mezhregiongaz.
Accordingly, Gazprom Gas Distribution is engaged in gas transportation. And Gazprom Mezhregiongaz is an enterprise for the sale and (most important) accounting of this very gas. Simply put, Mezhregiongaz controls all gas sales to the population, enterprises and organizations of a particular region.
Several years ago, Gazprom drew attention to the fact that huge volumes of gas transported through the Caucasus, to the Stavropol Territory and Astrakhan Region, disappear from the pipe. At the entrance to the republic or region one figure, and at the exit another, much smaller.
At the same time, local branches of Mezhregiongaz regularly report that gas is consumed very little. And consumption figures according to metering devices and the figure that the meters issue at the exit from the region do not coincide by several orders of magnitude.
An attempt was made to "drop the landing" in the problem regions. Promising specialists were sent to work in the region. The attempt failed miserably. The "paratroopers" were quickly overbought by the local gas kings, and the situation returned to its original position.
Three years ago, the management of Gazprom created a system that still exists today. Now the "landing" is thrown out for a short time, so that merging with local criminals does not occur. And send people from different regions of the country. We arrived, worked 2-3 week. Checked everything and back. By the way, it is from such travel knowledge of my consultants.
True, the result of such checks is exactly the same as in the first case. The clan system of organization of society contributes to the fact that families control entire industries. In particular, there are only a few families at the Gazprom enterprises.
Some work in the "gas distribution", others in the "Mezhregiongaz." Third, as in the case of Arashukov-father, in the central office. Thus, the family controls the entire chain.
In this “division of labor” there is a certain meaning. Inspectors come and go. Each new check is forced to start work from scratch. Those who have already been aware of events in this region, check others.
Even then, when checking something will turn, you can always turn on the fool. We did not know this, we were not told, thank you for opening your eyes ... In the end, you can simply sabotage the check. When all the threads in the hands, puppies are easy to manage.
I remembered. A year and a half ago, the TV channel Russia 24 talked about a huge breakthrough in the agro-industrial complex of the Stavropol Territory. Greenhouses are kilometers long. Year-round harvests. But most importantly, the greenhouses were heated. What would you think? Gas!
Now the question has arisen: who paid for this miracle of agricultural science? But this is so, own thoughts in the light of the newly discovered theft schemes. Maybe there really is everything in order with gas bills ... You can’t blame someone without proof, but for good reason arrests are also going on in the Stavropol Territory.
How does gas theft occur?
Imagine the pipeline. Not trunk, there is a lot of pressure, and regional. It is transported through the region. And it is from it that one can steal gas. To do this, just make a sidebar, and that's it.
True, there is one disadvantage. That pressure in the pipe. Pressure that does not allow just to cut the pipe and install the tie-in.
No, of course there is equipment with which you can bump into the existing pipe. But it costs a lot of money and you need to buy it for the currency. And his hands are needed. True, unfortunately, all this is available in “Gas Distribution”. And hands, and devices.
But you can act in the old manner. The gas simply overlaps, and the tie-in is done by experts already on the clean pipe. And then the withdrawal of plastic pipes, which cost mere pennies, and that’s it, take the gas to any place. And most importantly, do not pay. Dear people do not have to pay for any gas.
But this is only the beginning. The continuation is no less interesting.
Many readers use gas at home or at work. In each user's life, there were always moments of inspections of the gas stove, boiler and other equipment by employees of Mezhregiongaz units.
Remember two or three middle-aged women with soapy water and a shaving brush that smeared pipe joints with soapy water, lit a stove, examined metering devices?
Do you know why women work as supervisors? The fact is that the post of controller is one of the lowest in Gazprom. Salary, depending on the region, - 15-20 thousand rubles. Among controllers, there is even a “career growth”.
The lowest are those who work with the private sector. The salary is the same, but there are a lot of pipes and devices. Then come those who are trusted to work in high-rise buildings. Well, the highest caste of controllers are those who check organizations and enterprises. Here and on the paw can stick ... sometimes.
It was not by chance that I reminded readers of such a prosaic, but important work. The fact is that one of the interlocutors spoke about his trip to Kabardino-Balkaria. More precisely, about controllers in this republic. That confirmed the other participants in the conversation.
Kabardino-Balkarian controllers - only men. And not youngsters, but rather old people, from 35 and older, work part time. 4 hours per day. 8 man instead of 4-x. At the same time having a car worth less than a million for the controller is a shame. Learn to live is called. With a salary of 8-10 thousand rubles, buying cars for a million and supporting a family is what is worthy of a real man!
This category helps to hide users stolen gas. For the appropriate bribe, of course. Simply put, in the regions there was a situation when the crime seized the pipelines and shamelessly steals, without regard for the laws, the real owners of the gas.
The scheme of theft is simple and effective. At the entrance to the region, we have (I will give the figures just for clarity, for example) the counters show a million cubic meters. The output is already 500 thousand. The region, according to meter readings, used 200 thousands.
On the legitimate question about 300 lost thousands of cubic meters, the head of Gazprom Gas Distribution shows indignant documents. Everything is fine with me! Ask the director of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz. But he also gets documents with measurements and meter readings.
Everything! Nobody stole anything! Documents are in order. And the numbers that showed the counters at the borders, most likely, are not correct. Some kind of malfunction in metering devices.
There is a question about the sidebar. Really experts of "Gazprom" can not find them? They are experts!
Yes, experts. Only sidebars do the same specialists. Local And visitors will be looking for, unfamiliar, as they say, with the specifics of the region. And the gas pipeline passes through the mountains. In places often inaccessible to non-local residents. Or even dangerous. And the use of plastic pipes does not require the thief to bury them deeply.
I really do not want the readers to get the opinion that they only steal in the Caucasian republics. Crime has no nationality. I will specifically list the regions about which my interlocutors spoke. I am sure that the same thefts are possible in other regions.
Kabardino-Balkaria, Chechnya, Ingushetia, Karachay-Cherkessia, Stavropol Territory, Astrakhan Region.
Today announced the amount of losses of Gazprom in 30 billion rubles. After talking with my interlocutors, I had a doubt about this figure. Like the tip of the iceberg. How is the recent scandal in Chechnya, when “we didn’t consume, we won’t pay,” but in reality? But in fact, it was just an attempt to deceive.
Apparently, the theft of gas in the Caucasus region has reached such proportions that Gazprom has decided to beat right on the heads. Regardless of the respectability and position of thieves.
The most interesting thing is that in other regions (my Omsk, their Tyumen and Novosibirsk) for some reason, this mayhem is not observed.
