Governor of the Ivanovo Oblast

On November 22, 2005, deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the Ivanovo Oblast approved the candidacy of Mikhail Men for the post of Head of Administration of the Ivanovo Oblast, submitted by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. 32 deputies voted for, none against, two were absent.

Mikhail Men became the third member of Yuri Luzhkov team (after former Vice Mayor Valery Shantsev (Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast) and Vice Speaker of the State Duma Georgy Boos (Governor of the Kaliningrad oblast), appointed by the Kremlin administration to the governor's post.[18]

Since late 1990's, the heads of regional administration have been called governors by journalists, but at the official level only in 2007 Mikhail Men established a name of governor.[18]

From December 1, 2008, to May 25, 2009 — Member of Presidium of the State Council of the Russian Federation.[19][20]

On October 19, 2010, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev submitted to the Ivanovo Oblast Duma the candidacy of current region's head, Mikhail Men, to give him governor's powers for a second term. By the decision of the Ivanovo Oblast Duma's deputies Mikhail Men's powers were extended.

On October 16, 2013, Men prematurely, at his own request, resigned from the post of Governor of the Ivanovo Oblast.[21] On November 1 of the same year he was appointed Minister of Construction Industry, Housing and Utility Sector.[22]

Results of activities

Among the results of Men's activities as governor was the elimination of wage arrears in 2011.[18]

From 2005 to 2012, the average salary in the region tripled;[23] regional airport was reconstructed; a bus station building in Shuya was finished.

At the same time, the governor was criticized for insufficient work with investors,[18] with obvious results of work: for example, investors were attracted to the housing and utilities sector of the region for the construction of 16 new boiler houses.[23]

In 2011, in order to modernize the local poultry producer Ivanovsky Broiler, a loan of 700 million rubleswas allocated from regional fund for small and medium-sized businesses at a subsidized interest rate.[24]

In 2020, the Prodo group, which was controlled by managers of Millhouse Capital investment company, and was the owner of Ivanovsky Broiler, repaid the loan by paing 710 million rubles to the budget of Ivanovo Oblast. The repayment of the loan was confirmed by Governor Voskresensky.[25]

Later the loan paid will become a reason for claims against Mikhail Men.[26]

Among the cultural changes, there is an initiativeto raise money and buy out the Andrey Tarkovsky archive at Sotheby's auction in November 2012 (the archive was bought for 1.3 million pounds and transferred to the Andrey Tarkovsky HouseMuseum in Yuryevets).[27] Promotion of the Ivanovo city of Ples, thanks the construction of tourist infrastructure and international festivals - fashion festival "Linen Palette. Ples on the Volga" and the "Mirror" film festival; creation of state professional recording studio "Ivan-Records" for young musicians in this region.[28]

Job ratings as governor

In 2004, Vyacheslav Nikonov, president of "Politika" Foundation spoke about Men's appointment:

The introduction by President of Russian Federation about candidacy of the Deputy Mayor of Moscow in the metropolitan government of Mikhail Men for the Governor's post of Ivanovo Oblast is explained solely by business qualities of the Vice Mayor, and not by any political considerations[29]

In 2013, political scientist Alexander Kynev said that because of the Governor, the political system in Ivanovo Oblast has degraded and:

Behind the outwardly decent formal image of a complacent governor with a legendary surname, there was a hard tightening of nuts and reliance on imported Moscow region cadres[30]

Ministry of Construction, Housing and Utilities of the Russian Federation

On November 1, 2013, the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Utilities was established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation. New department was headed by Mikhail Men.[31]

As the newspaper Kommersant wrote, Mikhail Alexandrovich Men was remembered by the constraction market for numerous reforms in a field of shared-equity construction. He began to work on preparing for the rejection of its use.

In February 2018, Ministry of Construction proposed that developers start using escrow accounts, where co-investors' money should be kept until the end of construction. According to Ministry's plan, developers working with escrow accounts should be exempt from the need to make contributions to the compensation funds of shareholders. During Men's work as a Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities of Russian Federation, one of the largest Russian developers, Mikhail Balakin's SU-155, was forced to leave the construction market, which in 2015 announced its inability to complete the construction of 71 houses and its obligations to 27 thousand participants in shared-equity construction. The Ministry of Construction has developed a scheme for the rehabilitation of the SU-155, the main obligations of which were assumed by state bank "Russian Capital".[32]

Over the years of management, there has been a dynamic in housing commissioning. 2014—2017 became a record for the Russian housing construction market — the volume of housing commissioning in 2014 amounted to 84.2 million m2, in 2015 — 85.3 million m2, in 2016 — 80.2 million m2, in 2017 — 79.2 million m2. During the period of leadership of the Ministry of Construction by Mikhail Men from 2014 to 2017, about 4 million mortgage borrowers improved their living conditions. Mortgages became available to 33% of families by 2016, with the value of this indicator not exceeding 5% in the early 2000s. In 2017, about 1.1 million loans worth more than 2 trillion rubles were issued, which is almost 27% more in quantitative terms and 37% more in monetary terms than in 2016, mortgage rates decreased to the level of 9.79%.

Under the Minister Mikhail Men, licensing of the management of apartment buildings was introduced, which at the first stage led to weeding out 13% of management companies. Already after the introduction of licensing, 653 licenses were terminated, 21 licenses were canceled. According to the GIS of housing and communal services, as of May 2018, there were 21146 licenses in the country.[33] The Ministry of Construction, under my leadership, managed to raise the rate of resettlement of emergency housing from 1 million "squares" in 2013 to 3 million in 2014 and subsequent.[34]

Since the creation of the Ministry of Construction, Russia has risen in the World Bank's Doing Business rating in the direction of "Obtaining a construction permit" by 63 positions from 178th place to 115th. Another initiative of the Ministry of Construction is the implementation of the priority project "Formation of comfortable urban environment". 25.6 billion rubles were allocated from the federal budget to finance projects to create a comfortable urban environment. In 2017, more than 23 thousand objects were improved as part of the project. In 2018, for the first time in Russian practice, a rating vote was held on improvement projects, which was attended by more than 18 million people.

During the years of Mikhail Men's leadership, the Federal State Information System of Pricing in the construction of the (FGIS CA) was put into operation.

Head of the supervisory board of the Federal Autonomous Institution Glavgosexpertiza.

Results of activities

According to Andrey Nazarov, co-chairman of Delovaya Rossiya, the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation has managed to reduce the number and cost of administrative procedures by more than half in six years, which is an excellent indicator.[35]

Sergei Gordeiko from Rusipoteka noted: “The preservation of the volume of mortgage lending was a great success of the Ministry of Construction during the period of Mikhail Men's leadership. The volume of construction is annually near the mark of 80 million square meters per year, in 2014-2016 the figure was higher. At the end of 2017, the drop in housing commissioning was 2%”.[36]

Alexey Perlin, CEO of SMU-6 Investments, reported: “During his tenure as Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities, the volume of housing commissioning has increased significantly, reaching record levels. The program "Mortgage with state support" helped the construction market in difficult times, while mortgage rates today have dropped to record lows and continue to decline." Ilshat Nigmatullin, President of the Granel Group of Companies, credited Mikhail Men for the introduction of a major overhaul system.[37]

In January 2017, he was elected as a member of General Council, United Russia Party.[38] In December 2017, he was elected as a member of presidium of General Council of United Russia Party.[39] In June 2018, he suspended membership in the United Russia Party in accordance with the law "On Accounts Chamber of Russian Federation".[40]

In March 2018, President of Russian Federation awarded the head of Ministry of Construction Mikhail Men for "Many years of impeccable public service" with the distinction "For Impeccable Service".[41]

Auditor of Accounts Chamber of Russian Federation

On June 20, 2018, on the proposal of the President of the Russian Federation, he was appointed by the Federation Council to the position of auditor of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation.[42] Among the areas of work — control activities in the area of spending federal budget funds in the social sphere and science.

Since October 1, 2019 — Auditor of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation,[43] supervising the direction of control activities in the field of spending federal budget funds. And also in the field of environmental management and agriculture.

On November 13, 2019, Men made a report to the State Duma on state policy in the field of environmental development and ensuring environmentally safe waste management, where he noted that out of 97% of the 70 million tons of MSW generated annually are placed in landfills, "often located within cities and settlements." "Reducing landfill areas and preventing a formation of unauthorized landfills is impossible without creating a comprehensive waste management system," he said.[44]

In 2019, CEO of state-owned company "Russian Environmental Operator" (REO), which oversees a "garbage" reform, Denis Butsaev was prematurely dismissed by order of Prime Minister of Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev. As the media reported, son of Prosecutor General Igor Chaika was in favor of appointing Butsaev to the post of a head of REO. After Butsaev was removed from office, Mikhail Men was named one of the likely candidates for the position of a head of Russian Environmental Operator.[45]

In November 2019, Deputy Prime Minister of Government of Russian Federation Alexey Gordeev announced that the government of Russian Federation decided to appoint Mikhail Men, ex-head of Ministry of Construction, as CEO of Russian Environmental Operator.[46] However, this appointment did not happen later, and Men continued to work as an auditor of Accounts Chamber in Russian Federation.[47]

Mikhail Men's report, published in October 2020, discussed the problems with the implementation of the garbage reform, which mentioned companies associated with people close to the head of the National Guard of Russia, Viktor Zolotov, and the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov.[48]

On November 10, 2020, as a result of publication the report[49] of auditor in Accounts Chamber M.A. Men, the head of Ministry of Natural Resources Dmitry Kobylkin, who was responsible for the implementation of "garbage reform", was dismissed. A few days before Kobylkin's resignation, Ilya Gudkov, the head of public law company “Russian Environmental Operator”, was removed from his post[50][51]

In the last report of Mikhail Men was said that one of the largest companies - the "Big Three" - was engaged in modernization of unified state information system for accounting for waste from the use of goods (EGIS "UOIT"). The contract in amount of 566 million rubles was signed in August 2019. One of the owners of the "Big Three" was Yuri Chechikhin, whom the media call the son-in-law of the head of Rosgvardiya Viktor Zolotov. The claims of Accounting Chamber to this project were related to the fact that the UOIT Unified State Examination System is identical in its functionality to the UTKO GIS program (municipal waste accounting system), which is also used in the field of waste management. The auditors considered that this is an inefficient expenditure of budget money.[52]

Results of activities

8 days after the resignation of the head of the Ministry of Natural Resources Dmitry Kobylkin, who was responsible for the implementation of the "garbage reform" and the dismissal of Ilya Gudkov from the post of head of the public law company "Russian Environmental Operator", on November 18, 2020, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation appealed to the Federation Council. It satisfied the submission of Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov and agreed to criminal prosecution Mikhail Men is responsible for the allegedly stolen loan,[53] which was paid in full to the budget of the Ivanovo Oblast back in June 2020. Also it was issued from the budget of the Ivanovo Oblast in 2011 to the Ivanovsky Broiler to improve the material base.[54]

In November 2020, M.A. Men was charged the article 160 of Criminal Code of Russian Federation for alleged embezzlement committed as governor of the Ivanovo Oblast. According to Igor Krasnov, "sufficient evidence was obtained of Men guilt" in embezzlement of 700 million rubles from the budget of the Ivanovo Oblast in 2011 for the modernization of one of the agro–industrial complex enterprises - poultry meat producer "Ivanovsky Broiler", when Mikhail Men was governor and head of the government of the Ivanovo Oblast. According to the Prosecutor General, after receiving a loan for the development of production, the funds allocated to “Ivanovsky Broiler” were allegedly stolen.[55]

On June 22, 2020, even before the initiation of proceedings against M. Men, the Prodo Group, which was controlled by the managers of Roman Abramovich's investment company Millhouse Capital,[56] repaid the debt of "Ivanovsky Broiler", returning 710 million rubles to the regional budget.[57]

Despite the fact that the loan was repaid in full, the initiators of the "theft" were called "unidentified persons from among the beneficiaries" of the Prodo group of companies, which then included “Ivanovsky Broiler”. The owners of GC "Prodo" Andrey Gorodilov, Efim Malkin and Irina Panchenko are considered associates of Roman Abramovich. Men, according to the investigation, led the theft, earlier another ex-governor of the Ivanovo Oblast, Pavel Konkov, who was the first deputy governor during the loan issuance period, was involved in the case. Mikhail Men denied all charges.

On May 18, 2021, the court dismissed the case against Mikhail Men. The case against the auditor of the Accounting Chamber M.A. Men was terminated due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. At the same time, the court dismissed the cases against the ex-governor of the region Pavel Konkov and the managing director of JSC "Ivanovsky Broiler" Dmitry Grishin. Mikhail Men pleaded not guilty in court.[58]

On June 1, 2021, the Federation Council received a presidential submission on the early release of Mikhail Men from the post of auditor of the Accounting Chamber at his request.[59] On June 2, 2021, the senators agreed with the submission of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the early termination of the powers of auditor of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation Mikhail Men in connection with his personal statement.[60]

After completing his career as a civil servant, Men said that he intended to engage in projects "related to creative and entrepreneurial activities.[61]

Evaluation of the activities and grounds for the persecution of Mikhail Men

Vladimir Zherebenkov, lawyer of the interregional collegium of lawyers "Law and Man", commented on the situation to the Vedomosti newspaper: "But judging by the fact that the money was returned, there is no corpus delicti as such".[62]

On May 17, 2021, the court stopped the criminal case against the ex-governor due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.[63]

Commenting on the termination of the criminal case to the ZVEZDA TV channel, lawyer Murad Musayev said: "Mikhail Men ... pleaded not guilty and agreed to the termination of the case".[64][65]

The media connected Men's case with his professional activities during his work in the Accounts Chamber. As Stanislav Belkovsky noted, “the real reason, most likely, is that, already working in the Accounts Chamber, Mikhail Men showed excessive diligence in studying the so-called garbage topic, the topic of waste disposal."[66]

Evgeny Minchenko “does not exclude that what is happening may be related to the sphere of Men's current work in the Accounts Chamber – he dealt with the topics of ecology and garbage reform”.[67]

Political observer Dmitry Yuryev commented on the Gazeta.Ru publication:

"In my opinion, "the case of Mikhail Men" is a rare case when from the very beginning everything was absolutely transparent. Given: the auditor of AC works on the garbage (in the sense – on the garbage operator). It is necessary: stop for a few months, during this time we will fix everything. Solution: we put the auditor in prison for several months, then let him go.[68]

The Ivanovo journalist Aleksey Mashkevich, who conducted his journalistic investigation of the "Ivanovsky Broiler" case, believes that the criminal case against Mikhail Men and Pavel Konkov had a political connotation and pursues only one goal – to put an end to their careers, and "chicken money" is not the cause, but only a reason for excitement.[69] Politician Boris Nadezhdin in a commentary to Meduza called the prosecution of Mikhail Men “political”:

“There's some kind of fight going on under the carpet. You can find something on any official in any regional administration to launch a case. It's some kind of elite infighting; it's not a war on corruption.”[70]

The head of the political expert group Konstantin Kalachev, in a comment to the Free Press, explained the persecution of Men by an intra-elite struggle: "If a case is raised ten years ago, then the trigger is the events of present time. Obviously, this is connected not so much with the fight against embezzlement as with intra—elite showdowns," Kalachev also pointed out that the persecution of Me is probably related to his professional activities as an auditor of the Accounts Chamber - he was engaged in garbage and ecology.[71]

Doctor of Economics Nikita Krichevsky in his interview linked the persecution of Mikhail Men with the activities of the auditor of the Accounts Chamber. In particular, Krichevsky pointed out: "In 2020, my department announced fraud with oil and gas reserves, having found out that raw materials companies put deposits on the state balance sheet, the resources of which are not subsequently confirmed. In the fall of 2020, Men announced the failure of the garbage reform, that only 7% of waste is still processed in Russia, and over 90% is sent to landfills and landfills."
