What does the state farm named after Lenin Strudin do. Non-existent gardens and guest workers? What does Grudinin's state farm actually look like?

Pavel Grudinin, director of the state farm. Lenin, a candidate for the presidential elections in the Russian Federation on March 18, 2018.

Pavel Nikolaevich Grudinin was born on October 20, 1960 in Moscow. A year later, his family moved to the Leninsky district of the Moscow region.

In 1982 he received a diploma from the Faculty of Engineering and Economics of the Moscow Institute of Agricultural Engineers (now part of the Russian State Agrarian University - Moscow Agricultural Academy named after K. A. Timiryazev) with a degree in mechanical engineering. In 2001, he graduated in absentia from the Russian Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation (now the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation) with a degree in jurisprudence.

From 1982 to 1989 he worked as the head of the mechanical workshops of the state farm named after V. I. Lenin (Leninsky district of the Moscow region).

In 1990-1995 - Deputy Director for Commercial Affairs of the State Farm. Lenin.

From 1995 to the present, he has been the director of CJSC State Farm named after Lenin (he was elected at the general meeting of shareholders).

In 1997-2001, he was a deputy of the Moscow Regional Duma of the 2nd convocation. On December 14, 1997, he was elected in single-mandate constituency No. 2 (Vidnoye, Leninsky district, Moscow region). He was a member of the Committee on Economic Policy, was the Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Budget, Financial and Tax Policy.

In 2000, Pavel Grudinin was a confidant of presidential candidate Vladimir Putin. Until 2010, he was a member of the United Russia party.

In 2001, he ran for the Moscow Regional Duma of the III convocation in single-mandate constituency No. 2 (he was nominated by voters). The elections were to be held on December 16, 2001. However, on Election Day, only one registered candidate remained in the constituency. In accordance with the electoral legislation, the elections were postponed to a later date.

In 2002-2007, he was a deputy of the Moscow Regional Duma of the III convocation. On September 8, 2002, in the repeat elections, Pavel Grudinin was elected in the single-mandate constituency No. 2. 44.76% of voters voted for him. The second place was taken by Lyubov Selezneva, deputy head of the administration of the Leninsky district of the Moscow region, with 22.36%. Both candidates were nominated by voters.

In 2007-2011 - Deputy of the Moscow Regional Duma of the IV convocation. On March 11, 2007, he was elected on the list of the United Russia party. He was a member of the faction of the same name, served as deputy chairman of the committee on economic and innovation policy.

In 2010, Pavel Grudinin ran for the post of head of the Leninsky district of the Moscow region as an independent candidate. However, the electoral committee refused to register him because of violations found in the candidate's signature lists. As a result, Sergei Koshman ("United Russia") became the head of the district.

In 2011, he was nominated in the elections to the Moscow Regional Duma of the 5th convocation from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation: according to the party list (headed the regional group No. 9) and in the Leninsky single-mandate constituency No. 9. In November 2011, the Moscow Regional Court canceled his registration as a candidate. The basis was an interview with the director of the state farm. Lenin to the magazine "Russian Reporter" dated November 3, 2011, in which the court saw signs of extremism. According to the court decision, Grudinin "substantiated and justified extremism, and also made statements aimed at inciting ethnic hatred." Pavel Grudinin did not agree with the accusations against him, saying that the interview was distorted. In December 2012, the Savelovsky District Court of Moscow admitted that the magazine material "misrepresented the meaning of the fragments of the interview and the words of the interviewee."

Based on the decision of the Moscow Regional Court, Pavel Grudinin received a temporary ban on participation as a candidate for elected office. In this regard, he was denied registration in 2013 in the elections to the Council of Deputies of the Leninsky municipal district of the VI convocation in single-mandate constituency No. 14.

In February 2014, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation satisfied the appeal of the director of the Lenin state farm and ordered the Moscow Regional Court to reconsider the case of the deregistration of Pavel Grudinin in 2011. As of December 2017, the regional court has not made a decision in this case.

On September 18, 2016, Grudinin ran for the State Duma of the Russian Federation of the VII convocation from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - according to the party list (ninth number in the regional group No. 27, Moscow region) and in the Lyubertsy single-mandate constituency No. 121 (Moscow region). As a result of the distribution of deputy mandates, he did not pass to the Duma. In the single-mandate constituency, he took second place (13.14%), losing to United Russia candidate Lidia Antonova (49.28%).

At the same time, he participated in the elections of deputies of the Moscow Regional Duma of the VI convocation from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - according to the party list (the first number in the regional group No. 10) and in the Lytkarinsky single-mandate constituency No. 10. Did not get into the regional parliament. He took second place in the constituency, receiving 32.26% of the vote. The victory was won by United Russia candidate Vladimir Zhuk (37.67%).

On September 10, 2017, he ran for the Councils of Deputies of the rural settlements of Bulatnikovskoye (IV convocation) and Volodarskoye (IV convocation) of the Leninsky district of the Moscow region. He was nominated in single-mandate constituencies from the Communist Party. Was not elected.

On September 10, 2017, Pavel Grudinin became a deputy of the Council of Deputies of the city of Vidnoye (Leninsky district of the Moscow region) of the IV convocation from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in single-mandate constituency No. 6. 71.13% of voters voted for him. The second place was taken by the United Russia candidate Valery Nifantiev (21.32%).

He is a supporter of the Communist Party (not a member of the party).

Member of the Expert Council under the Government of the Russian Federation (since August 2012).

Has gratitude of the President of the Russian Federation (2000).

Honored Worker of Agriculture of the Russian Federation (2001).

In 2005, Pavel Grudinin became the winner of the All-Russian competition "Manager of the Year" in the nomination "Agriculture", in 2010 he was the winner of the national award "The Best Manager of the Year 2010".

Married. Has two sons.

Pavel Grudinin, a supporter of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, shares socialist principles, and the Lenin state farm itself is called an "island of socialism." It grows impressive sizes of strawberries and other berries, as well as fruits and vegetables. And all the profits are invested in the modernization of production and the social sphere. Employees receive an average salary of 78 thousand rubles, an increase in pensions and installment payments for housing. Their children go to castle-kindergartens and an ultra-modern school, which were built at the expense of the enterprise.

We asked Pavel Grudinin himself about how it is possible in the modern world of capital to live under socialism and prosper, when, together with Yevgeny Ulyanov, deputy of the Legislative Assembly of Karelia from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, we visited the Lenin state farm as part of his working trip.

For the communist Ulyanov, who defends socialist principles in management, there was nothing surprising in the work of the state farm - the deputy had repeatedly stated that the Soviet experience should be used at the level of managing enterprises in Karelia and managing the region. But everything was new to us. Hence the questions that we asked Grudinin, and the most important: what is the secret of such success?

“What is the secret? It is very simple. You can drive money offshore, you can build palaces for yourself, buy yachts, diamonds and golden toilets, as oligarchs and corrupt officials do. Or you can distribute it fairly among everyone, as it was in Soviet times. In fact, even in our capitalist world and in our realities, this is possible.You just need to think not only about yourself, but also about people, and be guided by the main principle: "Do not lie and do not steal!", says Pavel Grudinin.

"Agriculture just suffocated"

- Pavel Nikolayevich, how do you manage to stay afloat and live comfortably with your not-so-primary product - strawberries? Agriculture is not an oil and gas or energy industry. And you have miracles at every step... We have no agriculture as such in Karelia. The question is already being raised: why do we need a relevant ministry if everything has been killed?

I had an off-site meeting of the State Duma Committee on Agrarian Issues here yesterday. 20 deputies arrived, I showed them our new robotic farm, plantations, and social facilities. Then they had an extended meeting in which I participated. And the question was asked: what needs to be corrected in order for agriculture to develop? So, I think that everything needs to be corrected.

There is a very simple and intelligible recipe: do not steal and do not lie. Most of the state farms in the Moscow region ceased to exist, because they were captured by the oligarchs, and then the enterprises were closed, people were driven out into the street, and the land was sold. And you can do as we do. We have invested all the money in production and the social sphere. That is, they did not take them abroad, did not spend their loved ones on themselves, but did it for everyone - they began to build houses, kindergartens, schools, etc. We produce crops of European level. We bought new English technologies, invested in soil fertility, and we get 400 centners of potatoes per hectare, cabbage - more than 1,000 centners. We sell strawberries directly. If we sold it to a reseller, then at 120-150 rubles per kilogram. And we get 300-330 rubles. Naturally, all the money remains with us.

How did we manage them? They gave it to people – our average salary is 78,000 rubles. You can, of course, give money to shareholders, but we decided that we do not pay dividends, but raise everyone's salary. High wages, apartments in installments, no interest - as a result, people do not run.

All over the world, agriculture is financed from two sources: at the expense of buyers of products and at the expense of the state, which supports agriculture in different ways. In Europe, for example, additional payments from 300 to 900 euros per hectare are provided - so that these hectares are plowed, mowed, and cleaned. Americans do things differently. They calculate a fair price and, if the price falls below cost, they pay extra or encourage consumption by issuing free food stamps. That is, the farmer always has a market. And the farmer doesn't need anything else. In America, a law on agricultural production is passed every five years. It consists of 800 pages and gives all preferences to farmers, who in the US have become one of the richest segments of the population.

And in our country, with an average salary of about 20 thousand rubles, agricultural producers have actually become beggars. In the state program adopted by the government, it is written that the salary of an agricultural worker should be 55 percent of the salary in the city. Can you imagine what it is?! How can you drive a young specialist into the countryside, to whom the state has said: your salary will be half as much as in the city!? The state itself has made it unprofitable to live in the sphere of agriculture.

There is a lot of talk about the co-financing of agriculture by the state and the subject. But what is co-financing? If the money from the region did not come, then it is impossible for the farmer to receive it from the federation. The impoverished budgets of the subjects of the federation cannot finance agriculture. As a result, co-financing is practically unavailable, and many regions do not receive federal money. The governor, first of all, needs to provide doctors, teachers, and agriculture is in 10th or 20th place.

- That is, agriculture is financed according to the residual principle?

Certainly. He was suffocated. Support by banks, issuance of loans is not support. In the same row are large agricultural holdings and medium and small producers. Who gets the lion's share of state support? Of course, large agricultural holdings, which find it easier to hire lawyers, collect documents, and persuade officials (we know about bribes and kickbacks).

One official recently said that the rural development program was reduced by almost half, and by 2020 it will decrease by 65 percent. Officials talk about plans loudly, but they do not finance them, funding is constantly going down. What is 7 billion rubles a year for a rural development program? Despite the fact that only Colonel Zakharchenko was found to have 8 billion in a safe... Another example is the Zenit Arena stadium worth almost 50 billion. 40 million people live in rural areas. And they have 7 billion. If you divide it, you get 175 rubles per person, ridiculous money. Apparently, something happened to the authorities in the head.

Communists do not just say that at least 10 percent of the state budget should be directed to agriculture. Where there are no roads, medicine and education are "optimized", people will not go. So it turns out - the devastation of territories. Because it is impossible to live in a village.

"The businessman today is always wrong"

- You said that the main thing is not to lie and not to steal. Can your model be used to manage a region, a country?

Of course. The governors should come together and say: let's do like, for example, in Germany. That is (and Yevgeny Primakov also spoke about this) 50 percent of all taxes without exception should be left to the territories. Now the most collected taxes work for the federation, the non-collected ones go to the region. As soon as the region starts earning a little, it is taken away from it, just like from Tatarstan.

Until the budget and tax federal legislation changes, we will have impoverished territories. The government will issue money on occasion: do you have a holiday, the 100th anniversary of the republic? - Let's give you some money. We have constant informal relations between business and government, between citizens and government. It is not normal.

Now everyone is talking about structural reforms, but they are not happening. Today, a businessman is always wrong - there are so many taxes and administrative procedures that it is impossible not to make a mistake. Here is the weight control. Let's say a milk truck is going through the scales. Milk in it, of course, dangles. Accordingly, the axle load changes, and the weight on the scales may change. And for the overweight, the fine is rather big - 500 thousand. And it turns out that the farmer will earn 100 thousand on milk, and the fine will pay five times more.

In all countries of the world, diesel fuel for tractors is cheaper than for cars. Because the price of fuel includes a tax on roads. Tractors don't drive on roads. And the whole world understands that they do not have to pay road tax. And we have the same price!

Or take manure. This substance is the fifth class of danger. If it is not processed, you will have to pay a fine of 200 thousand to 1.3 million rubles. But there is no money for manure processing equipment. Therefore, everyone breaks the law. And they pay a fine. The state thought when it wrote such a law? If you come to Europe, the state will pay for such biogas plants. You will generate electricity, deliver it to the grid for 30 euro cents, and get back from the network for 18. Thus, with the help of processing, farmers receive free electricity and additional income. And our approach is this: we don’t know how you will get out, go to the bank for a loan at 15 percent, but dispose of the manure. Otherwise, we will be fined. I can give you such examples ... We will sit all day.

Everywhere you need "Uncle Fedya"

How to get out of this vicious circle?

First, you need to take power into your own hands (in a legitimate way, I'm not talking about a revolution). Second, redesign the system. Even in these conditions, such republics as Tatarstan, Bashkiria, Belgorod region, get out. But they are rich, they have resources - some have oil, some have agriculture.

- There is nothing in Karelia. Previously, there was forestry and agriculture, the region provided for itself, but now there is almost nothing.

This is not only in Karelia. The result turned out - people leave for large cities, because it is impossible to live in the countryside. No matter how much a person earns, if there is no polyclinic, school, kindergarten nearby, he will leave. There is a concept of anti-crisis management. Why do I say that I do not envy the leaders of the regions? Either they have to bow to the federal government (and this is difficult to do if you have your own opinion) or get out, form "points of growth." All kinds of obligations were piled on them and all resources were taken away. You had an excellent example of a "getting out" leader - the director of the Kondopoga plant Federmesser, we have very similar approaches with him.

- Residents of Kondopoga still remember "Uncle Fedya" with a kind word ...

- "Uncle Fedya" built a system that people were happy with. It cost him money, but he could afford it because he made good money. Why did the city develop under him, but now it cannot? Because the money began to "take away." We have a very strong role of personality in history, everything depends on the person. I'm the same "Uncle Fedya" here. I have a good salary, but I can get 50 times more. But then there would be none of what you saw here. What does it mean to spend one and a half billion on one school and half a billion on a kindergarten? They would say: you are a fool, instead your children and grandchildren would be provided for life! That's what the oligarchs do.

- But someone can say that building kindergartens-castles is an excess.

This is a very interesting thing. Someone says that it is necessary to build cheaply. Maybe schools need to be built according to a single project, but kindergartens cannot. You form a child, he must live in a fairy tale. And we proceeded from this. I have had an idea for a long time. You look - each of the members of the "Lake" cooperative, major officials and oligarchs has their own Versailles. Why does he need three thousand square meters and thirty rooms? I have one friend who is looking for a wife in the house by phone ... If you are constantly working, why? Here is a bedroom, a kitchen, a toilet, a living room for you to receive people. Why do you need a huge yacht if you are constantly working, because it is inconvenient to work on a yacht? Why do you need a golden toilet if you normally go to the ceramic one? I think it's because of the lack of culture. Rudeness has come to power.

We spent a billion and a half on the school, but at the same time we did everything that the teachers want. In the Moscow region, other big businessmen are also investing in education, building schools, which they spend more money on. But they don't do it that way, they have a different concept. They have a concept of taking 100,000 rubles a month from each child, while everything is free with us. German Gref (the head of Sberbank, which is building the school at its own expense - author's note) came here, looked at the school, then said that he almost fired all his builders ...

When you yourself walk, control, of course, it turns out better. We have a school with an area of ​​18,300 square meters, while Gref has 24,000. He, too, must surrender on September 1, and we do not know what will happen. He was amazed to see that there is an anti-traumatic coating of stairs, soundproof equipment, unconventional engineering solutions - and he began to redo a lot of things at home. It's no secret that businessmen save on schools, and the amount per square meter is the same as ours, and even more. How to explain to them that you don’t need to save on others for your own sake, because you won’t take anything with you to the next world?

You need to analyze everything, try to understand how bad or good everything is. If you are the boss and you have money, you may not meet with the population. But if there is no money, you need to go to people, explain your position. It's like in a family: one wants to watch football on TV, the other wants to play ball, and you have a choice - either buy a TV or a ball. Money - only for one thing, and someone will still be dissatisfied. It’s the same here: if you single out a meager pie between teachers, doctors, pensioners, someone will be dissatisfied. Therefore, you must make sure that everyone gathers and makes their own decisions.

"If you fence yourself off with a fence - your enterprise is a khan"

- Do you admit that the method that you use today for your economy is, in fact, Soviet? Is this a planned economy?

Soviet method. We plan everything, but in our country it is difficult. You don't know that in half a year they are conducting some kind of "Platon" or some kind of collection for trade. You can’t calculate the cost in any way, because once the price of the euro has taken off, and all the component costs in our country, unfortunately, are imported, their prices have doubled. You cannot calculate the cost price - you do not know the final prices for products.

Why do we call socialism and our economy a people's enterprise? Because we spend all the money we earn on improving the welfare of workers, on modernizing production and on social programs. The shareholders decided that they do not receive dividends, and all the money is distributed among the employees. You built a kindergarten, a school, a park - and not only your children went there, but also the children of workers, all on the same terms. If you live in the same house where your employees live, you think the same way about housing and communal services, utility bills, and cleaning up the territory. These are the principles of socialism.

And if you fence yourself off with a fence or buy a house in Spain and command from there, then that’s it, your enterprise is a khan. Because the antagonism between managers and ordinary workers is growing. We must think about people first of all, and not show off.

So you ask, is it possible to survive under such capitalism as we have? Yes, you can. But you must actually become independent: do not take loans, do not owe anyone, pursue such a social policy that you are loved and appreciated by the workers, and be with them all the time.

The Gaidar Forum was recently held. There were Gref, Chubais, Kudrin. Those who brought the country to its current state spoke. Everyone was interested in what the economic "elite" thinks. But in fact, they said that there are no recipes, there will be no reforms, taxes will increase and it remains to pray for an increase in the cost of oil.

This means that everything will be determined by the conjuncture of the world economy. And it depends on the US Federal Reserve and the major fuel powers. Here Russia and Saudi Arabia agreed to reduce oil production, and the barrel went up, but God forbid this niche will be occupied by other countries!

It is clear that in this case the price of oil will fall. And yachts are built through offshore companies, which we have cursed, shares are still sold and bought. No changes are expected. By the way, Medvedev also spoke at the Gaidar Forum.

I am the director of a state farm and I will speak separately about agriculture. Agriculture is focused on the general population. And his income fell in 2016. People buy much less food. The market is shrinking, this is really visible, even if you just look at the number of visitors to stores. Yes, and statistics show that trade is collapsing. The consumer is increasingly switching to what he himself has grown in his garden or garden plot, and foreign markets are closed.

Moreover, the actual tax burden on agricultural enterprises has increased: fuel excises have increased and charges have appeared under the Platon system. Agriculture needs profit in order to develop steadily. But now there is nowhere to develop and there is no need. No one even says when the incomes of the population will increase. There are no predictions.

Further, any economist will say that without investment, development is impossible, and investment, as it was, has remained inaccessible. And then there are the sharp jumps in the exchange rate of the ruble. It goes up and down, and no one can predict how much a dollar will cost. You want to buy equipment, but it is impossible to calculate what its price will be in the end.

What remains? Only government appropriations, but they are not going rhythmically and are decreasing. Thus, the situation in agriculture is approximately the same as in the country as a whole: unsupported hopes for the best. We look at the government, but it cannot explain what structural reforms are and where we are going. Hence - apathy, I don’t want to develop, I would like to keep what has been achieved. There is a recession or stagnation.

There is no import substitution program. Everyone knows perfectly well that the government says one thing, but it turns out completely different. It does not have a program for overcoming the crisis, and at first it did not recognize the very existence of a crisis. Then they recognized it, and one well-known person from the government even said that twenty years of stagnation should be expected. You know this person - he was recently “taken” in connection with the scandal surrounding the Rosneft deal.

Pavel Grudinin: It's time to change donkeys at the crossing

"What shall we eat?" - this is the main question that "AN" asked the director of the state farm named after Lenin Pavel GRUDININ.

Five write, one - in the mind

What does the population have enough money for? Most likely - for low-quality, but relatively cheap products. The same pension is simply not enough for real ones. A ton of real animal fat costs $300 and a ton of palm oil costs $70. Therefore, people with meager salaries choose cheaper products that are made from vegetable fat. The situation is getting worse, the authorities are doing nothing to change it. And people are paying with their health for such a policy of the government.

- Pavel Nikolaevich, don't you exaggerate? The statistics say the opposite.

I see a significant drop in consumer demand in terms of sales of my agricultural products. And it's next to the huge Moscow. In the province, consumer demand fell not two, but several times.

Now about statistics. For example, milk, according to Rosstat, is milked 30 million tons a year. But the marketability (the ratio of sold to milked product) of milk is only 52%, that is, half is not processed, but disappears somewhere. Or pouring out? Milked, milked and once - poured.

In one republic, a new president came a few years ago, and they suddenly wrote the truth - according to reports, milk production fell by 30% at once. Apples show growth of 10% every year, but I grow them myself, I know the weather conditions in different areas, I know that there was a crop failure. But in the reports of the governors, who flock to Rosstat, the numbers are “higher, and higher, and higher.” The same goes for potatoes, vegetables...

If one day the truth is written, then President Vladimir Putin, who, according to him, trusts statistics, will be, to put it mildly, disappointed.

There is also the issue of product quality. I assure you, if now Soviet GOSTs are introduced and it is forbidden, under pain of prison, to sell products made according to TU, then the shelves will become empty, and people with pitchforks will take to the streets.

- That is, calls for food independence have remained on paper?

For some types of agricultural products (for example, pig breeding, poultry farming), we really began to fully provide for ourselves. But only because two curves converged - an increase in the production of some products in which significant funds were invested in the mid-2000s, and an avalanche-like drop in consumer demand. Now the first has run into the second. More can be produced, but who will buy domestically?

At the same time, the government practically does not lobby our food exports. How much do we get from arms sales? Several billion dollars, but this is done by thousands of people in state corporations. Who is responsible for food exports? I am a potential exporter - I don't know these people.

In general, we produce negligible food. The grain harvest annually walks about 100 million tons. In the US state of Iowa alone, 60 million tons of corn are produced per year, plus 12 million tons of soybeans and about 10 million tons of wheat. That is almost as much grain as the whole of Russia! Little Bavaria sells $10 billion worth of food a year! And all of Russia exported agricultural products and foodstuffs worth $16 billion (in 2014, $20 billion). Brazil - food export - 110 billion dollars! Almost 7 times more.

We must state a fact. Russian agriculture is, by most parameters, in a stage of deep stagnation. The government has actually withdrawn from solving these problems and should resign.

Russian Chinese - sponsor forever

Tough you! But after all, despite the “optimization” of the budget this year, more than 230 billion rubles have been allocated to support the agricultural producer.

This is the support of the banks, not the people working in the field or on the farm. After all, most of the money will go to subsidies at the interest rate of agricultural loans. This is the situation with them. First, several authorized state-owned banks select potential borrowers. Then a contract is concluded with them, according to which the same farmer is obliged to pay the full rate of the loan. In six months or a year or two, the state returns part of the money to him. Often they do not return it, since an agricultural producer with such a loan rate - approximately 15% - has already gone bankrupt. Why the state cannot immediately pay its guarantees to the banks is a great mystery.

There is also the so-called per-hectare support. On average, it is 500 rubles per hectare. For comparison: in Europe - 500 euros. That is, we are no longer competitive. Moreover, support there goes directly to the manufacturer in the shortest possible time. I bought a tractor, showed the documents - within a few days, 30% of the purchase price comes to the account. Food exports are also instantly subsidized.

We calculated that in Europe, out of 1 euro invested in agriculture, 52 cents are returned in the form of state subsidies. The situation is similar in the USA. How to compete with them?!

- Counter-sanctions have now been introduced, the food market is open to its producers.

First, no one knows how long they will last. Agriculture is not the beard of old Hottabych. He pulled a hair, and everything grew. We need certainty at least 3-5 years ahead. But to believe in our state is not to respect yourself. The rules of the game change as you go. In 2008-2009, a state program for laying gardens was announced. People bought seedlings, prepared the land, planted. Suddenly, a crisis broke out unexpectedly, and the program was curtailed. I had to literally plow the seedlings until they grew into trees that you just can’t uproot. They promised 4 billion to compensate for the costs of building farms, they gave 100 million. A person started building, took out loans, and they tell him: that's it, there is no money. No one will finish building in such a situation. Strategic planning is missing as a concept. There is a law on it, but there is no planning.

Second. Due to requisitions and tariffs, the cost of production is growing. In the Dairy Union, we calculated that only because of the introduction of the Platon system, and we carry milk in cars over 12 tons, producers have lost more money than all state support for the year. Introduced electronic certification of milk in the "Mercury" system. Plus 3% to the cost. Increased taxes for land, which was estimated at some unknown source taken from the cadastral value. Electricity goes to China at 40 kopecks per kilowatt, we pay 5-6 rubles. How much will be the cost of our and Chinese cucumbers from greenhouses? Diesel fuel is more expensive than in the US or Germany. The cost price is growing exponentially, and people have less and less money for products ...

What should be done to make the cow eat less and milk more? Feed less and milk more. The current government is doing the same with its agriculture.

- But your state farm somehow survives?

The average salary is 74 thousand. No staff turnover. Shareholders do not receive dividends for many years - the money is directed to development. We practically do not apply for state support. For example, in 2015 they received about three million rubles. And they spent 12 million rubles on a mammogram for their clinic. We have invested a lot of money in the development of vegetable growing, processing and storage, we are increasing the production of strawberries. We are increasing the number of cattle, we will soon open a robotic farm, although I think that with the current policy it will never pay off. We are building our own school, kindergarten, swimming pool.

We simply do not steal and implement the socialist principles of housekeeping. I am sure that if socialism had not been deliberately destroyed, then Russia would have been the most serious power in the world in terms of agricultural development. Now they are also deliberately finishing off the village itself, destroying a competitor with the hands of our own officials. An enterprise is a normal organism in which “blood” flows - money. And everyone is constantly trying to suck this "blood" through a legislative increase in taxes, an increase in tariffs for electricity, fuel, gas ... Without blood, the body will die sooner or later. That is, in fact, what they are trying to achieve.

President, wow!

- How many people in Russia are employed directly in agriculture?

About 39 million people live in small towns and villages. How many people work in the field - no one knows. The government is not interested in this.

- Serious power. Was this discussed at the extraordinary congress of the “Federal Village Council” on March 6?

Certainly. Today, the main task is to reform the Budget and Tax Codes so that at least half of the main taxes remain in the territory. Villages, small towns will come to life. And the center will stop throwing money at various world championships. It's a shame - 50 billion rubles were given to the whole country for kindergartens. That's how much one stadium costs. We will demand indexation of pensions and salaries of state employees, otherwise people will eat counterfeit products or start dying of hunger.

Will they hear us? Is not a fact. The ministers live in their own "parallel world". The President said - it will be hard for two years, then it will be easier. And the government calmed down, sits and does nothing, waits - when it becomes easier. Pulling time. An anti-crisis program is being written, but the crisis already smells of death. You can not write a program - write a letter of resignation of your own free will. The longer they rule our country, the worse it will be for the country and all of us.

- And what, will they come better?

Not sure. But something needs to be done. The late General Lebed said: “They don’t change horses at the crossing. But donkeys need and should be changed. There are people in the country who have actually done something in their lives.

If they don't listen, then what?

The situation, in my opinion, is this - we have two paths in front of us in the near future: revolutionary, like 100 years ago, with a sea of ​​blood, betrayal of the “king” by his faithful servants and a rollback into complete chaos. And evolutionary, but then the "king" himself with a saber on the heads of those close to him should begin to wave. Now everything depends on Putin's decision. Such is the vertical line.

- "Time to go"?

My German friends say that another wave of emigration has begun. The middle business has already gone. But here is my family, children, grandchildren, the graves of my ancestors. Where will I go...

Grudinin on RSN: There can be no patriot who has an apartment in London

The director of the State Farm named after Lenin stressed that people who take their families out of the Russian Federation are unacceptable in the government

I. IZMAILOV: Hello. Our guest today is Pavel Grudinin, director of ZAO Lenin State Farm. Pavel Nikolaevich, summing up the results of the year. Let's start with your state farm: in 2015, they worked positively, negatively, what are the main achievements? I remember that at the end of August you went to Germany and brought some new variety of strawberries. We tried it, it was very tasty.

P. GRUDININ: You know, we have a mixed feeling. On the one hand, we are fine. We have now started new projects, and quite serious ones at that. We are building a new farm for 600 heads, robotic, based on the best world achievements.

I. IZMAILOV: And whose heads?

P. GRUDININ: This is a farm, which means cows. Our cows this year, by the way, milked 9100 liters. This is a very good indicator for Russia and, in general, the average European indicator. Moreover, milk is of the highest European quality. That is, we have something to be proud of, especially since modernization is underway. We have begun building and modernizing water production, modernizing juice production, we are in the process of concluding contracts to change packaging, we will pour our natural juices into glass. We have done a lot in crop production, and our yields are either higher or lower, because we work in a zone of risky farming. But we always make a profit from the production of strawberries and are the best and largest enterprise in Russia in this area.

I. IZMAILOV: That is, it breaks even?

P. GRUDININ: Yes, strawberries, water, and this year milk is breaking even. On the other hand, the situation causes us concern, because we produce high-quality, natural goods and all the time we are fighting either with palm oil or surrogates that are imported, or with some officials who suddenly, for no apparent reason, They don't give us a building permit. We have launched facilities such as a school, a kindergarten, a swimming pool. But since you know what the situation is with loans and investments, we have seen that we are not holding out. And the state, instead of helping, reducing tax pressure, reducing administrative fees, eliminating bribes, is increasing pressure more and more. For example, we have just handed over a multi-storey building in order to accommodate, including our employees, young professionals, but we cannot receive documents, because the governor changed the procedure for putting the house into operation, and now what we received in a week, we get a month.

I. IZMAILOV: Do you mean the Moscow region?

P. GRUDININ: Yes, yes. Taking over and changing the law is not difficult. But he simply cannot fulfill these powers, does not have time or does not want to. And corruption has risen. But we do not give bribes and as a result we stand in line for a very long time. And all this - instead of supporting those who invest, and not foreign investors, but their own. Therefore, we are in a twofold position: it seems that we started everything, it seems that this year we invested more than two billion in our land and our own production, but no one said thank you. Only from all sides of the check, all sorts of requisitions, some fines. There are two categories. The first is workers who should receive a normal salary and do their job, they should not be worried about the general situation. The second is the leadership that walks around these offices, almost on its knees asking the authorities to do what they are already obliged to do. I'm just trying to understand why we're doing this. If we make milk for the population, then we would like to be supported not in words, but in deeds: they gave a lower tariff for electricity, for example, or made it so that access to markets was different. Remember, this year there was a problem with the sale of strawberries in Moscow. She never resolved, Moscow never changed the decision. Every year we will kneel before the officials, and they will say: "Go to the weekend fair." And it is impossible to explain to them that strawberries ripen all week, and not just three days - Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They do not understand this because they have never worked in production. We have a class of officials and children of officials who have never done anything with their hands, do not understand anything, but are trying to regulate processes and manage entrepreneurs.

I. IZMAILOV: And some even hold the post of Minister of Agriculture. I'm not talking about the federal level now.

P. GRUDININ: Yes, the man who commanded the hotels suddenly started farming. Honestly, we have big problems because of this, and I understand that until our industries are commanded by specialists with whom you can speak on an equal footing, who understand what it means to milk a cow or build a farm, we will have no future. It is very important. For example, the son of an official becomes the head of a large bank. Once, and became a banker. Why all of a sudden? Or, for example, the son of a prosecutor becomes a minister. Why? Are brains inherited? No. He did not study, he does not know anything, but he quickly became the boss. To be honest, it will ruin many industries. We are trying to do what the president said - to modernize production, to enable people who work well to get more than those who do not work. We left the Soviet principles of development, and in this we probably won. But I always said: if you cleaned your cabin on the Titanic, did everything carefully, beautifully, then when the Titanic suddenly goes under water, this will not save you. The captain at the top must understand that you need to turn the helm, throw overboard everyone who takes bribes, went offshore and keeps money there, and leave those who are really patriots. There cannot be a patriot who has an apartment in London, and the child does not get out of some other country.

I. IZMAILOV: We are a little pessimistic. At your state farm, how were layoffs, layoffs? Did the salary go up or stay the same?

P. GRUDININ: The salary has slightly increased.

I. IZMAILOV: Didn't you go into the minus?

P. GRUDININ: No. People have suffered so much. What they bought for one ruble is now worth two rubles, and we must understand that their standard of living should not fall. Therefore, our main task is to maintain real incomes and increase them. By the way, returning to the Soviet Union and the Communist Party, the main thing in the decisions of the Central Committee of the CPSU was to ensure the material well-being of the people. This is what we are doing. But to be honest, we have become bigger and better at producing with fewer people. The layoffs did not go through, but we asked the pensioners to leave. By the way, we pay extra to each pensioner, because they have done so much for the state farm that it is simply impossible to forget them. The next year will be very difficult, I see it, because the income of the state farm is falling. We do not live in an airless space: our partners go bankrupt, a crisis of non-payments arises, those who owe us money do not pay. In three years we will have the centenary of the state farm, and we want to approach this with some success, but the program that we have developed is stalling, not because we are not working well, but because of the external situation.

I. IZMAILOV: But the second monument to Lenin was erected?

P. GRUDININ: They did.

I. IZMAILOV: This is a huge rarity in modern Russia.

P. GRUDININ: Actually, this is our history. I have worked all my life at the Lenin State Farm, I have one job. And many who started working for us ended up like this, grew old, and their children and grandchildren now work at the state farm. This is our memory, and there is nothing wrong with that. Once again I say - it is easy to rewrite history, but then we will rewrite everything back. Just seen: Stalin is bad, then Stalin is good. With Peter I the same thing, and so all the time. We need to calm down and look forward to the future. And in the future, Lenin State Farm, I guarantee you, will live very well, unless, of course, our entire Titanic goes under water.

I. IZMAILOV: God forbid. If we talk about 2015: the Minister of Agriculture was replaced, Tkachev took this post. Not much time has passed to draw any conclusions, but what are the general trends in agriculture in our country? Have we started to go on some kind of trajectory?

P. GRUDININ: No. It's not about Tkachev. The fact is that Tkachev came at a time when investment in agriculture had ceased altogether. This is due to the high lending rate and the fact that the money has depreciated by half, and the same amount of money remained in the budget. One can, of course, assume that the Lord God will feed us with three loaves, but in reality this is impossible. Therefore, in order for a minister to become a minister, he must be given the opportunity to regulate and influence the situation, and for this he must have financial and administrative resources. Honestly, these disputes between the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Economy lead to the fact that the Minister of Economy and the Minister of Finance are the main ones, and this one, it seems, is the executor. In general, we have a perverted concept of the work of the government, because the sectoral ministers should be in charge, and the accountant - the minister of finance - should carry out what the government has decided. And our accountant commands the entire government: I will give money, I will not give money. In my opinion, this is the main problem. It is necessary to change the work of the government, and the state policy in the field of agriculture should move away from talk and start actually doing something. You said it yourself: the reduction in taxes led to an increase in the cadastral value, and we began to pay more taxes, fees from trucks increased, and we all have trucks weighing more than 12 tons, and this will also fall on us. I'm not talking about other checks, requisitions. Let's just take one thing: now we can be fined for transporting, for example, liquid cargo with a mass of more than a certain volume by 500,000 at once. This only says one thing - no one thinks about us. The salvation of the drowning remained the work of the drowning themselves, and the minister had nothing to do with it.

I. IZMAILOV: In your opinion, is it necessary to expand the ministry, that is, to add, for example, the Minister of Agricultural Engineering? Everything that was in Soviet times.

P. GRUDININ: There are different ways. We once had a minister of agriculture and food who was in charge of all the food in the country. In my opinion, it was right. There is also the Brazilian way, where there are two ministries: the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Rural Agriculture. One deals with large producers and the other deals with small and medium farmers. Each of them has its own tasks, because the tasks must be divided between large and small. But the big ones here in Russia survive, or at least they are given crazy money. The fact that they go bankrupt one by one, new ones come - this is a separate topic for conversation, it is more connected with corruption. But small farmers are abandoned here, no one sees them. And we have another, in my opinion, a very bad trend that needs to be changed - this is an attempt to push state powers from the federal government to the subjects of the federation. They were told: “Come on, help agriculture, and if you don’t help, then we won’t help either.” But the federal government must heal, teach and protect, and protect, among other things, the food market, because food security is protection. A person does not care where grain, carrots or milk were produced. The main thing is that it should be distributed throughout the territory of the Russian Federation. Therefore, in America and Europe, federal support or support from the EU is mandatory, and the States do not help agriculture, because this is the general task of the state. We need to change that, but unfortunately the minister is not yet in the position we would like him to be.

I. IZMAILOV: 2015 is still remembered for the increase in the food embargo. To some extent, our producers were helped by the ban on the import of food into our country, to some extent we were replaced by other countries, but prices still rose, it can be seen. What is the dynamic here?

P. GRUDININ: Igor, there are no miracles in agriculture, so the talk about the fact that we gave preferences to our own producers is not only what we took and reduced the supply on the market, making us more competitive. It is also an investment. But if you have not received money for sowing, then no matter how they close food from other countries, you still will not be able to sow more. This is what happened. 2014 was remembered for two things: the embargo and the doubling of the interest rate, or even more. After that, we asked for money throughout 2015 in order to sow more, lay some greenhouses and farms. They answered us: “Yes, yes, we are working on it, we are adopting an anti-crisis plan.” A year has passed, but the anti-crisis plan did not work in any way, investments did not go, so we are in the same position as a year ago.

I. IZMAILOV: Our guest was Pavel Grudinin, director of ZAO Lenin State Farm. Happy New Year to you, good harvests this year, delicious strawberries, and still not go into the red!

P. GRUDININ: Thank you very much!

Childhood and education

A year after the birth of their son, the family settled in the Leninsky district of the Moscow region - parents, graduates of an agricultural technical school, got a place at the State Farm. Lenin. From the age of 12, Pavel worked there as a loader.

In 1977, Pavel graduated from high school and, having decided to follow in the footsteps of his parents, began to study the specialty of a mechanical engineer at the Moscow Institute of Agricultural Engineers (now MIISP named after Goryachkin).

Five years later, already a certified specialist, he returned to his native state farm, where many members of his family worked. Having received the position of head of the mechanical workshop, he worked in this position until 1989.

State farm them. Lenin

In the press ZAO Sovkhoz im. Lenin" is often referred to as the "island of socialism." According to Grudinin himself, the administration of the rural settlement abandoned the liberal reforms that have taken place in the country since the early 90s.

We have preserved socialist principles, when “to each according to his work” and we are trying to promote them.

How do people live in the State Farm. Lenin

The main source of income for the state farm. Lenin - strawberries and strawberries (because of this, Grudinin, who ran for president, received the nickname "strawberry oligarch"), potatoes, vegetables and fruits, milk. There are several hundred cows in the state farm herd, and among the clients are representatives of the German yogurt company Ermann.

Also, the financial well-being of the state farm was affected by its proximity to the Moscow Ring Road - these lands are leased by large shopping malls (Your House and Vegas by Aras Agalarov, StarLight Cash & Carry, Waymart). In 2016, the Swedish company IKEA acquired a plot of land from ZAO. Grudinin himself lives in an ordinary house along with other workers. His neighbor in the stairwell is a tractor driver of the enterprise.

Political career

He ran for a third term on behalf of the party. During this term, Grudinin was Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Economics and Innovations. In 2010, Grudinin said goodbye to United Russia. He spoke in more detail about the reasons for this decision only 7 years later, after being nominated for the presidency.

When you see where a political party is going, you must either give up your principles, or your conscience, or your party card - so I folded the party card myself.

Pavel Grudinin: Why I left United Russia

As the hero of the article later explained, the material was presented in the style of a reportage with elements of an interview, direct speech was mixed with indirect speech, and as a result, many of the politician’s words were out of context.

The subsequent linguistic examination did not reveal signs of extremism in the text, but its results were not taken into account in court. Subsequently, the distortion of the meaning of the interview was recognized in court, but the ban on participation in the elections remained.

Grudinin's speech in the State Duma (December 2017)

In September 2016, Pavel Nikolayevich ran for the State Duma of the seventh convocation on the party list of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, but failed, taking 2nd place in a single-mandate district.

There is one ideology - socialist: justice, equality, brotherhood, when people in a rich country should live richly, not poorly. This ideology must win.

How does Lenin State Farm live?

One of the most discussed political news of the week was the nomination of the director of the famous Lenin State Farm, Pavel Grudinin, as a candidate for the presidency of the Russian Federation. Correspondents of "KP" went to his farm to find out how the inhabitants of the village reacted to this news.

How the director of the state farm named after Lenin sold Turkish strawberries
under the guise of a suburban

Successful agricultural enterprises are rare in Russia. Therefore, the history of each successful one always attracts special attention. And often, upon closer examination, it turns out that this success is very specific. For example, the state farm named after Lenin in the near Moscow region, which produces fruits and vegetables, has been among the best enterprises in the agricultural sector of Russia for a decade and a half. In reality, the formula for its success seems to have been written off from those pages of old Western history textbooks, which speak of the slave labor of foreigners, the dispossession of peasants and dubious transactions with the supply of foreign fruits.

According to the proverb, it is not the place that makes the person beautiful. But the main factor in the success of an agricultural enterprise is always the location of its land. The closer the fields, greenhouses, or poultry farms to the consumer, the lower the cost of delivery, the higher the turnover of capital and the level of sales. It was this elementary truth of capitalism that in the dashing 90s helped the former Soviet state farm named after Lenin. The lands of the state farm are literally immediately behind the Moscow Ring Road in the Leninsky district of the Moscow region. And a huge sales market is on the other side of the ring road. The state farm now has almost two thousand hectares of reclaimed land, its own herd of 800 cows, its own refrigerators and an apple orchard. Among the partners of the state farm is the German company Ehrmann, which buys milk for yogurts. The head of the state farm, Pavel Grudinin, is by no means a mossy red director. He willingly gives interviews, participates in radio and television programs, and likes to comment on government actions. Grudinin does not like criticism directed at him. And, not at all because of arrogance. It's just that every negative fact, noticed by the sharp eye of a visiting ill-wisher, can turn into a large-scale revision for a successful agro-industrialist. And as a result of such events, interviews are usually not given.

Earth - the bourgeoisie?

The slyness here is hidden even in the title. The Lenin State Farm, of course, is not a state farm. According to Pavel Grudinin, the name was invented to leave the old "brand", which was known to many Muscovites. This is an ordinary capitalist ZAO - that is, a closed joint stock company. Its history is very interesting and fascinating. In the early 90s, the former state farm, like all similar enterprises, fell into a period of crisis. Grudinin worked in it from the beginning of the 80s, and in the 90s he was already deputy director for the commercial part. It was with his direct participation that a deal was made for the sale of 5.6 hectares of collective farm land, which went directly to the intersection of Kashirskoye Highway and the Moscow Ring Road.

The buyer was the company "Crocus International" of the famous Azerbaijani businessman Aras Agalarov, who built on it a store of the "Your House" network - one of the most successful commercial real estate objects of this company. They were selling the land, it seems, for $1,500 per hundred square meters, but this is from the words of Grudinin himself.

Experts, by the way, say that “weaving on the Moscow Ring Road” can reach a price of 100 thousand conventional units ... Where the “declared” 840 thousand dollars went is also not clear.

According to the official version, this money was used to pay off debts and acquire new technologies. However, immediately after the sale of the land at the state farm, power changed - the former director, Pyotr Ryabtsev, voluntarily resigned, and a meeting of members of the artel elected the 35-year-old Grudinin as the new leader. According to rumors, Ryabtsev was “asked” to resign, because he was aware of all the previous manipulations with the state farm lands (the red director rented them out, etc., which was previously reported by the newspaper Kommersant)

Having become the director of the state farm, Grudinin immediately took power into his own hands so that the times of Ryabtsev seemed to some workers a paradise. In general, the clever forerunner of the “effective managers” of the 2000s managed to swindle the naive villagers like in a thimble game. First of all, Pavel Grudinin declared a judicial war on those peasants who, on the basis of Boris Yeltsin's decrees, received 15 acres of collective farm land per family member.

They were offered to return the plots back, but under a plausible pretext - in the form of a contribution to the share capital of the CJSC State Farm named after Lenin, established in 1995. Having lost the received land, they became shareholders. At the same time, state farmers were persuaded - in order to protect them allegedly from "raiders" - to fix in the charter a provision that state farm land could only be sold at a price of $ 1,500 per hundred square meters. This is despite the fact that the land remained for agricultural purposes and was not transferred for housing construction, which made such a price absurd in the conditions of that time.

But the peasants believed. And, as a result, they lost both their lands and the received securities. After all, what are shares, if we are talking about a meager share of the authorized capital, which went to each of the members of the artel? Today they are, tomorrow they are not, and it is clear that sooner or later they will go to those who have more money. Guessing the one who managed to accumulate most of them is not difficult. - The shareholders at the beginning, in 1995, were 526 shareholders, employees of the state farm. And now there are 40 people left, most of the shares are in the hands of managers, the main specialists, - Pavel Grudinin honestly admitted in one of his interviews in 2010. At the same time, Grudinin himself, according to his information, has about 40% of the shares.

Simply put, the top of the CJSC, headed by the director, gradually bought up shares from almost 90 percent of the shareholders. So the peasants near Moscow lost their land completely.

Quit and pay

Pavel Grudinin explains his concern for state farm land and peasants with high goals: the desire to maintain production, achieve wage growth, give people a future, and so on. Outwardly, everything looks like this: salaries at the state farm have increased, the village has “grown” with new houses, and the milk yield of cows has increased three to four times. True, the sociable director of the state farm prefers not to brag about some things. For example, Grudinin is unlikely to talk about the fact that most of the apartments in which were sold to "outside investors." Or, let's say, it will reveal a scheme for the participation of the state farm in the affairs and capital of some commercial enterprises, such as the Kashirsky Dvor shopping complex and the Kashirka Mall shopping center. And the main production secret of the “communist” enterprise can be considered a scheme for importing imported berries into the Russian capital, often of genetically modified origin.

According to representatives of law enforcement agencies, representatives of organized crime have become a natural partner of the state farm in this difficult matter, having long since abandoned the primitive “tent racket” schemes and ensuring the food security of the country with their modest efforts. True, in your own way. Everything is simple. In words, the state farm is positioned as the largest producer of the so-called "garden strawberries", which are sold to residents of the capital under the guise of the usual strawberries. But growing vegetables and berries in the conditions of the Moscow region when importing such products from Turkey, Poland, Morocco, Spain and Egypt is not economically feasible. Actually, that is why large Russian greenhouse farms, like Belaya Dacha, are acquiring farms in the Kuban.

The reason, of course, is the climate, high energy costs, the need to have large refrigeration capacities - after all, it is impossible to keep the same berry without a refrigerator for more than one day in summer, the goods will be lost. But it can be imported from the same Turkey. The scheme has long been debugged: deliveries of imported berries from Turkey and Poland, the cost of which during transit is underestimated by 2-3 times, and their weight in trucks is underestimated, goes to Russia, where it is cleared by customs with a minimum tax base, and then through a one-day company to the end seller. The fact that the criminals have good connections in Turkey allows them to negotiate the supply of cheap berries. Of course, at the same time, no one is looking at their certification and how they are grown. Then the berries pass through the state farm, where tags are re-glued on their packaging, and then they go to retail chains. Such a scheme allows not only to profit from the sale of imported berries, becoming a reference point for their smuggling in the Moscow region, but also to underestimate the tax base. As a result, this gives up to 70-80 million "gray" rubles per season.

Actually, Grudinin let slip about the too advanced methods of “growing” tender berries himself, in an interview with the Novye Izvestia newspaper. “In May, they sold Turkish strawberries under the guise of our strawberries,” the director of the state farm complained in June of this year.

It seems that there was a technical failure: "state farm" strawberries, in theory, ripen only in June. In our opinion, the director of the state farm made another mistake when ordering containers: every year the state farm has to buy up to 150,000 branded wooden boxes for strawberries alone, but for some reason does not do this. And Grudinin's main mistake was some arrogance. Initially, the sale of berries was established through the Auchan and Metro hypermarket chains.

However, then the cooperation was suddenly broken off, and the state farm refused to supply its products there. The same “informal partners” of Grudinin had to sell strawberries, having planted, for the sake of appearance, a dozen tents for retail trade along the roads.

Fruits, not people

However, the peasants of Grudinin did not refuse to trade on the sidelines. Such are the rules here. Yes, and the workers understood that the real reason for breaking off relations with Auchan and Metro, of course, was not low purchase prices. Being, in fact, foreign companies, they requested certificates from the state farm for the products supplied to them, which, as it is not difficult to guess, the “effective” manager did not refuse. True, the big scandal did not come out of this. Regulatory authorities, by a strange coincidence, did not notice anything. And the state farm chief, having gathered his "plowmen and carpenters", explained all the troubles by the intrigues of competitors.

Of course, now state farm workers no longer have to sell imported berries by hand. According to some reports, "Moscow region strawberries" are already supplied to large hypermarkets in Moscow.

But the position of ordinary workers still remains unenviable. This, of course, is not about "exhibition peasants", each of whom receives a manager's salary. In our opinion, the main work in the state farm is performed by temporarily hired workers. Only this summer, about three thousand people daily bent their backs on the "strawberry" plantations. And in a year, up to 20 thousand pensioners, foreign guest workers, children and adolescents pass through the state farm ...

Children's labor is especially in demand - and less space is needed, and food, and children's hands do not remember strawberries ... No contracts, no identification documents, no sanitary checks ... In the sweet taste of "Moscow region" berries, it is difficult to notice the bitterness of actually forced labor. And law enforcement and regulatory authorities treat the new Russian landlords with amazing loyalty even by Russian standards.

Starting from 25 minutes (25.40) – “Stop spreading imperial ambitions,” says Grudinin. The war in Afghanistan is the cause of the collapse of the USSR. Syria (I don't remember if it was from the same place or from another interview)... Oh, Syria, no matter how it becomes a second Afghanistan. Other countries do not need help, etc. Let's take care of our country.

Something familiar? Exactly. These are the slogans of Soviet politicians during Perestroika. This is what Gorbachev received the Nobel Peace Prize for. And that, as a result of which the USSR lost all allies and all (by the way, about industrial production) sales markets, as a result of which NATO tanks are now in the Baltic states.

McFaul knows perfectly well that during the war you cannot apologize, take time out and go about your own internal affairs. During the war, you have to fight - to repel the blows of the enemy and inflict your own. If the war is world, then it is necessary to reflect and strike all over the world. At the same time, one must become stronger and inside, of course. But no one will allow you to take a timeout - as soon as you stop the fight, they will finish you off. We must win. The winner takes all. Or lose. Loser - grief.

We understood this very well in the 90s - when we lost and grief came. We have begun to forget about this now, when we have gradually tasted the taste of victories again and it has even become somewhat familiar.

The Anglo-Saxons have never forgotten about this and will never forget, because they did not stop the war with us and will not stop for a minute. Well, unless they are distracted by the issuance of the Nobel Peace Prize to Gorbachev or Grudinin - this is also an element of war.

Putin, of course, is in their throats. Still, who in the American and Israeli leadership would have thought at the beginning of the “Arab Spring” that its main result would not be the appearance of ISIS on the southern borders of Russia, but the appearance of bases for the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Russian Navy in the Eastern Mediterranean?

It's a shame, yes. Here and for the "simple Russian peasant" you will start drowning, only to remove this hated KGB officer who outplays you all the time. Anyone - but not Putin, say the Americans.

For me personally, this means one thing - Putin and only Putin.

P.S. And a couple more points. Somewhat disturbing is the ease with which many of my compatriots, quite patriots themselves, fall for slogans and beautiful speeches. Just yesterday, about a person, neither a dream nor a spirit. And today that’s all - they have melted away from competent propaganda and a well-thought-out image of a “simple Russian peasant”. Syndrome of easy maydanutosity, however.

The national question of Pavel Grudinin.

The head of the state farm near Moscow is suing the "Russian Reporter" because of an interview with extremist statements that cost him participation in the elections

An interview with the Russian Reporter magazine cost the director of the Lenin state farm Pavel Grudinin deputy mandate. His statements, published on the pages of the magazine, were recognized as extremist, as a result, Grudinin's candidacy was removed from the elections to the Moscow Regional Duma. Now the businessman has filed a lawsuit against the editorial office. According to him, the journalists did not show him the interview before publication and changed the meaning of the statements.

Sayings about Uzbeks

An article about the state farm named after Lenin and its head Pavel Grudinin was published in the Russian Reporter a month before the parliamentary elections - October 31, 2011. It was called "Palnikolaich named after Lenin", and it mainly talked about Grudinin's business - "2000 hectares of golden land near Moscow, where, contrary to all the laws of the market, agriculture is still really being carried out." The question of nationality became fatal.

“I say to investors who build apartments: look at nationality. And if you start selling apartments to the wrong people, I won't work with you. There is such a concept - face control, when an investor, before buying an apartment, personally communicates with everyone. Surname Ivanov - well. Zagorulko - good. Lukashenka - okay. Harutyunyan - think about it. Even if you have less money. I am not Rogozin, I do not think that he is right, but I see that we have a problem. We still need to restrict entry. Why so many Uzbeks? Buy small-scale mechanization, and they will replace ten Uzbeks. There will be ten times fewer janitors, but everyone has an electric vacuum cleaner! - quotes the "Russian Reporter" the words of Grudinin. - I understand that this is a problem. Interethnic conflicts are the future of our country. This is immediately visible. Children come to school without knowing Russian. After all, they come in villages. When the white and black fight on the court, if the black one wins, the white ones scatter. If the little white one wins, then the black ones all fight the white one. And when there are two of them, it's not scary, but when there are a lot of them, it's a disaster.

Competitors of the candidate for deputy from the Communist Party Pavel Grudinin from United Russia appealed to the court, which recognized the interview as extremist. Now he has no right to participate in elections of different levels. To return to political activity, he needs to prove in court that the Russian Reporter attributed other people's words to him.

Promised a report, got an interview

“According to the law, the Russian Reporter had to provide me with a recording of the conversation and coordinate the interview with me before publication. They did not do this, despite the fact that they promised, - Pavel Grudinin tells Marker. - The magazine published a report with elements of an interview - direct speech is mixed with indirect speech, the dialogue turned into a monologue. As a result, many words attributed to me were taken out of context, so they acquired a different meaning. We offered the Russian Reporter to admit that this was a creative reworking of the recording, which was not agreed with me, but he did not agree to this. If they had admitted this, then I would not have been accused of extremism and would not have been removed from the election race.”

According to Grudinin, Roskomnadzor conducted a linguistic examination of the published text, and no extremist statements were found there. But the court did not take this into account when making its decision. If Grudinin succeeds in defending his interests in court, then he plans to again take part in elections at various levels. However, the Russian Reporter assures that the published direct speech is fully consistent with the audio recording.

“For my taste, Grudinin does not say anything criminal in an interview, but the judicial system decided otherwise. We regret that he was removed from the elections, which he was told about, - explains Vitaly Leybin, editor-in-chief of the Russian Reporter. - The parties to the process asked us to accept their position. Grudinin's lawyers asked us to say that he did not say anything like that, and the employees of the Investigative Committee - on the contrary. We have remained neutral, but now Grudinin is suing us. It is clear why he does this, but the interview transcript matches the text.

Lawyers do not see anything unlawful in the actions of journalists. If there was an agreement to coordinate the interview before publication, then doing so is a matter of ethics, not law. “A journalist is not at all obliged to show the text before publication, the plaintiff should have understood that he was saying everything on record,” says Igor Simonov, a lawyer at the Knyazev and Partners Bar Association. - Also a minor question about the genre. If there was no initial agreement that information is provided subject to some strict conditions, then it does not matter whether it is a report or an interview.”

Video about bourgeois Grudinin!
Eviction of people from the apartment

NOW LET'S SEE HOW PEOPLE LIVE ON THE FAMOUS STATE FARM! CAPITALISM THRIVES.

Article 330 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation AUTHORITY, Article 159 FRAUD

Svetlana Smirnova, a lawyer for Lenin State Farm CJSC, revealed the secret of Grudinin P.N. that apartments are rented to employees for the period of employment in this CJSC. As long as the employment contract is in effect, there is a place to live! Here's the truth!

PAVEL GRUDININ SAID MORE THAN TIME IN HIS INTERVIEWS THAT HE GIVES PRIORITY ONLY TO THE SLAVES, BUT THE FACTS TALK ABOUT OTHER... The lie of the Director of CJSC State Farm named after Lenin knows no bounds. Farm workers receive a salary of 44 tr. Khokhols go to him to wash and wash. Muscovites have become so impoverished that they go to Pasha to work and eat at least a little bit of strawberries.
ROLLERS DISAPPEAR IN THE EYES, EVERYTHING IS CAREFULLY WIPED. Everything that was published in 2017, any bad word, everything was erased, cleaned to a shine. NOT EVERYTHING IS AS CLEAR AS IN BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. NOT EVERYTHING IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS IN THE ROLLERS. FOR EXAMPLE: KINDERGARTEN IN THE FORM OF A CASTLE WITH AREA OF 600 SQ.M. - PRIVATE, ONLY 150 CHILDREN ATTEND IT. THE OTHER KIDS WALK IN COMPLETELY NORMAL.... ALL THIS YOU CAN EASILY FIND ON THE INTERNET. SOVHOZ, ESSENTIALLY CJSC (CLOSED JOINT STOCK COMPANY) IS UNPROFITABLE AND LIVES ON THE GOLDEN LAND ON WHICH HOUSES ARE BUILT AND SOLD AT COMPLETELY MOSCOW PRICES. MAYBE ALL THIS ABUNDANCE IS FINANCED FROM OTHER SOURCES? MAYBE, ALL THIS TALE IS SPECIALLY FOR US - WANTING TO BE DECEPTED!!!

Grudinin or Navalny, who is better?
Impression from the performance on the federal channel

I specially looked at Comrade Grudinin in the Time Will Show program. To refresh your impressions. Refreshed. Came into confusion. The points are (not in order, but as I remembered):

1. Better to be rich and healthy than poor and sick.

2. Let's make Russia great again. Luxembourg is great because it is rich, and we are poor and poor because we are poor.

3. Where to get money? Yes, the nationalization of large enterprises. The introduction of a progressive tax on the rich and the abolition of any taxes for the poor (for a long time they sought from him who the poor and who the rich are in numbers, he never said about the rich, and the poor is the one who receives 25 thousand, but did not say, on a soul or a worker).

At the same time, the business must be freed from extortions and any other burden. In addition, it is necessary to return the money from offshore. How? It's very simple - look at Saudi Arabia. A simple soldering iron or iron perfectly returns any funds from anywhere.

When the speaker was asked who these two were and whether they knew that they would have to sit down, comrade. Grudinin replied that all of his friends were clean. The hosts said that then the Singaporean option would not work. It was funny.4. Corruption is very easy to eradicate. How? Yes, Saakashvili eradicated literally in five years, why are we worse? And also Lee Kuan Yu. Oh, this favorite of Latynina and Ganapolsky! All you need is to plant two friends.

5. We must be friends with Ukraine, peace to the world. When asked what to do if Ukraine does not want to be friends, comrade. Grudinin replied that they would gather there with the communists and come up with something.

6. To the question of how to build relations with the United States, comrade. Grudinin said that he did not decide everything himself, for that he would have a foreign minister.

7. To the question about the specific economic program of comrade. Grudinin said that it wasn't there yet, but they were about to gather all the best economists, sit down and write about it.

8. We went to Afghanistan in vain, otherwise the USSR could have lived.

9. It's time to put an end to Russia's imperial manners and ambitions. It's uncomfortable in front of people. It's better to produce a lot.

10. Crimea is Russia. But what to do with those in the West who do not agree with this, comrade. Grudin doesn't know yet. In addition, he will have a foreign minister.

11. When asked whether Comrade Grudinin would create a successful enterprise not on the border of the Moscow Ring Road, but in the Altai Territory, it was said that, of course, it was business. There are such enterprises with communist leaders and other leftists (the question - why then these comrades are not nominated for president, because they did exactly what Grudinin did, in more difficult conditions - no one asked).

12. The main thing is not to steal, and even in our vicious and terrible system, you can be successful.

13. It is necessary to revive the Politburo (well, or the State Council) - Comrade Grudinin will listen.

In short, if we remove the nationalization, soldering irons, our Krym and the Politburo out of the brackets, then Navalny stood in front of me. That's exactly what Navalny usually says, Grudinin said all this. "Saakashvili, Lee Kuan Yew, imperial ambitions, the main thing is not to steal, Luxembourg is great."

Except that Grudinin did not insult the president and did not throw him caricature challenges.

My husband noticed that Comrade. Grudinin reminded him of some producers. Who will gather the writers in their office and say:

“In short, there is a crazy offer. Shoot comedy. Otpad. In terms of quality, like Tootsie, and so that there is a tradition to watch it every year, like Irony» . With an art house budget but a Titanic box office» . The main thing, as you can see, I came up with, it remains to discuss the details - the story, the plot, the dialogues. Who will have suggestions?

But I can note that in general Comrade. Grudinin, of course, draws on Boris Nikolaevich much better than Navalny. That one looks pathetic, but this one is imposing. "Strong businessman." About Boris Nikolaevich, I remember, everyone spoke with respect in the late eighties, that he was a builder. “He is a builder, he will build a country for us.”

When Udaltsov says that it is Grudinin who will gather all the opposition around him, then this is quite possible, yes. Plus, it will bite off many from the loyalists, this is also true.

About the elections, Grudinin and how they will Maidan in Russia

Grudinin admitted that he took money abroad, and they are still there

And here we are watching a video that was clearly made “under Grudinin” - we won’t say that we didn’t sit under the bench by order, but a certain “journalist” reads his “sharp and uncompromising” questions from a piece of paper, and Grudinin just peacocks to the fullest. ..

In general, more than a complimentary video.

Watching from the 12th minute.

Mother dear, so what is this, a confession?

The Communist presidential candidate (!) has accounts abroad! Moreover, it is the accounts, Grudinin speaks in the plural.
