From 2012 to 2013 the head of administration of Ukhta was Igor Leonov. Two of his friends have confirmed that he was the son of the owner of the Ukhta hotel.

Leonov Jr. started his career as secretary of the regional branch of the party in the Komi Republic. In 2012 he entered the General Council of the party in power, and in 2013 he moved to Moscow, taking the post of deputy head of the CEC “United Russia”, where he was responsible for the work with the regions (regional government headed by the party).

The CEC invited Igor Leonov, Viktor Kidyaev, then-deputy secretary of the General Council, considered the main party spin doctor, tells a familiar Leonov. Financing party could be one of the terms of appointment of the CEC suggests interlocutor RBC. “Leonov – a businessman, it is clear that he financed his own party,” – he said.

Leonov was the secretary of the regional branch, raising funds – one of its functions, explains Mazurevskaj.

But Mazurevskaj causes a different version of Leon, Jr. was in the CEC. He participated in the contest for the post of head of the central executive committee and was one of the five winners, says Mazurevskaj. Therefore, he said, Leonov was in the personnel reserve of the party and eventually was promoted to deputy head of the executive committee.

At the end of December 2014 Leonov left his job in the party, its regional management combined with the process. Shortly before the presidency of the CEC and Kidyaev left.

The hotel complex “Chibyu” RBC said that the company and its owners are not available for comment because he was in Moscow on a business trip and do not know when they return. Igor Leonov did not return calls and messages RBC. Kidyaev was also unavailable for comment.

Business Leonovs

Igor Leonov himself, according to the register, 25% owned by OOO “Torginvest.” This near Moscow company engaged in wholesale trade animal feeds, in 2010, it was abolished. Another quarter of a package in her possession Sergey Viktorovich Leonov.

On Sergey Leonov same as indicated in the “Torginvest” INN recorded 67% of LLC “Transstroyservis”, where he is CEO, and 16.6 % of LLC “Severpromstroy.” Companies engaged in wholesale trade in motor vehicles, construction and transportation. Two of the three registered in Komi. Father Leonov, in addition to “Chibyu” and “North-2″, there are also 75% in the company “Spectrum”, engaged in the buying and selling of real estate.

The lessee of premises in “Chibyu” restaurant manager “Chibyu” Tatyana Ustinova in August 2013 addressed to the department of economic security and anti-corruption OMVD RF Ukhta statement. She asked to check the relationship between the head of the administration of Ukhta Igor Leonov and hotel complex “Chibyu”, reported local newspaper “News Agency” North-Media. ” Ustinov asked why Ukhta mayor orders through GC “Chibyu” all banquets and celebrations at the restaurant.
