Contractors for temporary social and living arrangements for internally displaced persons
For more details, see the information
In the second part of the "NeMoscow" project, we examined the connections between companies and individual entrepreneurs who received government contracts in 2022–2023 (and partially in 2024) for the temporary social and living accommodation of internally displaced persons. These are residents of the Belgorod region and Ukraine (primarily the occupied territories) who lost their homes as a result of military action.
Typically, government contracts include accommodation and food, and some also include the supply of household items, drinking water, laundry services, and waste removal.
We believe our data is not completely complete, in part because not all procurement terms mention "SVO." However, we believe this does not prevent us from getting a general idea.
We counted 45 companies and individual entrepreneurs who signed government contracts for the social and living arrangements of internally displaced persons, for a total amount of more than 1,5 billion rubMost of the contracts have been completed and paid, with a small proportion still in progress.
The bulk of the money—almost 820 million rubles. — received by businessmen with some connection to the government. The founders and beneficiaries of the Amaks hotel chain stand out in particular.
Almost all the contractors for the government contracts studied are 82 % — are connected in one way or another to the state and the authorities. They are either state-owned, or, through their directors and founders, are linked to government bodies at various levels, United Russia, or pro-government non-profit organizations, or are involved in businesses closely intertwined with the government.
