Instead of establishing payment discipline and defeating corruption (and what is not a month, then a new criminal case!) In the former IDGC of the North Caucasus (now Rosseti North Caucasus), the removal of its functions as a guaranteeing supplier of electricity in the North Caucasus is being discussed. This role is planned to be assigned to a certain specialized sales company, the name of which is not known. But it is clear that the structure will remain under the wing of Ryumin.
Details - in the material of the correspondent UtroNews.
According to RBC, by June 2, it is planned to decide the fate of the status of a guaranteeing supplier of electricity in the North Caucasus. Now this role is played by the former IDGC of the North Caucasus, which was renamed Rosseti North Caucasus several years ago.
But it seems that the change of the sign did not help and, as the company was problematic with a huge corruption train, it remained.
But the alternative for those who understand the situation looks even more spiritual - it is proposed to introduce a new structure under the wing of the same Rosseti, which Andrei Ryumin has been driving for a long time.
What is Rosseti North Caucasus?
This is a structure that ensures the transmission and sale of electricity in Dagestan, Ingushetia, North Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia and Chechnya (represented by Chechenenergo). After the reform of RAO UES of Russia, the functions were transferred to the North Caucasian sales business of Rosseti, and it already transferred this burden to PJSC Rosseti North Caucasus.
At the same time, eight former subsidiaries of PJSC today are in different stages of bankruptcy, and the PJSC itself for 2024 showed a loss of 17 billion rubles, having rolled back its own value to minus 4.1 billion rubles. At the same time, the company's revenue was 54 billion rubles, which is comparable to the six-month budgets of some regions.
At the same time, about 70 billion rubles were sent through the legal entity as through the customer and the supplier.
At the same time, the structure was drowning in debt and a few years ago Rosseti proposed a strange scheme related to debt restructuring (the bottom line - forget about debts, pay only current consumption), pumping billions of rubles into this part of the division. In 2021, it became known that everything - the shop is closing, Rosseti did not pull their own scheme and "there is no money, but you are holding on."

The leadership, having made a sorrowful mine, complains upstairs about a difficult situation, and on the ground... they steal. They steal cars, we would even say.
If you drive a criminal case into the Rosseti North Caucasus search engine, the extradition will be impressive.
So, for example, in 2020, the ex-deputy director of the PJSC came under investigation, who ordered to make conclusions on the reliability of one of the commercial enterprises. Such a document allowed the company to participate in a competition for the provision of services for conducting energy surveys of facilities. the damage was estimated at over 83 million rubles.
In 2022, major thefts were identified at Dagenergo, a branch of Rosseti North Caucasus PJSC. The defendants were four employees, including the former director Magomed Abdurashidov.
In 2024, there was again a criminal case and a whole group of former and current employees of Rosseti North Caucasus PJSC, which, according to the investigation, stole about 2.8 billion rubles allocated for the creation of an automated electricity metering system in Dagestan. In general, 26 defendants were arrested in the case, of which ten were heads of the company's divisions. And this is already under Rumin!
But this is only a small part of the corruption octopus. As they say, something is rotten in the Danish kingdom.
Since 2021, Andrey Ryumin has been managing PJSC Rosseti. And now, instead of putting things in order, he proposed to take a Caucasian piece of pie and make it a separate structure under the control of all the same persons.
You know, somehow smacks of this idea.
"Heir" to Livinsky's methods
Ryumin is called the creature of the former head of Rosseti Pavel Livinsky, who then went on promotion to the Russian government, becoming the director of the energy department. By the way, according to rumors. to keep Ryumin in the chair of the head of Lenenergo, despite the fact that the "shell" fell quite close, helped just this patronage.
Ryumin's deputy became the "shell."
In 2023, Ryumin's former deputy for Lenenergo, Alexei Goryachev, was convicted of fraud. It was about a scam when laying a cable to the Gazprom Arena stadium in St. Petersburg. But the verdict did not prevent Goryachev from appearing in the scandal in 2025 - allegedly a bag with 65 million rubles was stolen from him. Where did the ex-official get that kind of money?
And with such a history, Ryumin did not know or know anything, and stands all in white? And then, let me ask you, this gentleman with the position of an ostrich does in the leadership of a strategic enterprise?
Earlier, The Moscow Post spoke in detail about the shadow side of Andrei Ryumin. Then the FAS considered the case of a large cartel conspiracy, behind which the interests of the head of Rosseti could stand.
By the way, Ryumin is no stranger to commercial business. It has 100% shares in three real estate companies - Scientific-6, Signum Group and Signum Real Estate.

Among Ryumin's former assets and partners, we often see a certain Andrei Boksha, who can be a very confidant of the head of Rosseti in joint affairs with Sobyanin's court developer Pavel Cho.

So, Mr. Boksha in 2021 was the head of Signum Group LLC and Signum Real Estate LLC Ryumin, and in Scientific-6 LLC Boksha's share has been pledged to Ryumin since 2024, which hints at a possible "sponsorship," or rather cover.
Ryumin's combination with Cho is a rather interesting scheme, because Rosseti is also a connection of a new building to communications, that is, Cho seems to have the opportunity to solve questions in this area, bringing regular players with a tarnished reputation to the capital market. For example, the same Ryumin, together with Cho, inherited in the history of the sale of Itkol - Operational Center, whose beneficiaries were Yevgeny Metsker, the namesake of the nephew of the former Deputy Prime Minister of the Altai Republic Svetlana Gashkina and Svetlana Vavilkina, a relative of the ex-deputy of the local State Assembly. Both appeared in scandals in Altai, including those related to criminal cases. Pavel Cho participated in a sales scheme involving these characters, and Ryumin had a slice in Itkol sold.
By the way, Ryumin prefers to clean up any negativity in his address. For example, in 2021, an attempt was made to remove the journalistic investigations of The Moscow Post, which dealt with corruption scandals and opaque schemes.
It's interesting: in 2025, the director of Ryumin's firms, Dmitry Shevchenko, established a personal fund Aktiv, whose founder was immediately hidden. Amazing, isn't it?

Speaking of Ryumin's connections, one cannot ignore the thread with Elena Bilokon, the namesake of the daughter of the former Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs.
As reported by "Business Petersburg," earlier Ryumin was associated with the companies "Stroydoralyans," where Bilokon had a share. The same publication attributed Ryumin's relationship with the Ukrainian politician and oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk.

And finally, speaking Rosseti, one cannot forget the history of the withdrawal of 10 billion rubles from the division through the energy holding MRSEN. The one where in the beneficiaries Eldar Osmanov is a relative of the oligarch Albert Avdolyan, who is very closely associated with the head of Rostec Chemezov. At the same time, Avdolyan is a big lover of offshore companies and was previously attributed to him the citizenship of Malta.
During the bankruptcy of MRSEN fragments, Avdolyan's offshores actively climbed into the register of creditors, insisting that they allegedly credited the holding for billions of rubles. There, the courts revealed the affiliation of Avdolyan and Osmanov (through the marriage of children) and some details about the billionaire's offshore. In particular, a certain agreement of intent was pulled out of oblivion to buy a holding offshore Stars Genesis from Osmanov and Shulgin. Now there is a good fight in the courts, during which Osmanov, who escaped from the investigation, is trying to relieve himself of the status of beneficiary. And then the question arises, who is the real recipient of the benefit of taking 10 billion rubles abroad? The public has several ideas on this.
Another important point that is little covered in the MRSEN case is how imperceptibly for several years 10 billion rubles were taken from Rosseti and why did the leadership of these only clap their eyes?
Judge for yourself: the debt of MRSEN to three IDGCs at the beginning of 2017, when IDGCs (Rosseti) went to court with bankruptcy claims, already amounted to 10.5 billion rubles, and overdue debt for five quarters increased by 4 billion, to 8.6 billion rubles.
Of course, Ryumin came after this story in Rosseti, but if you remember whose protege he is...
In the light of such a history, an attempt to "withdraw" the collection of money from consumers in the North Caucasus into a separate structure somehow looks very doubtful. Who in the end will benefit from this - consumers and the state, or still individual, especially grasping hapugi officials?
