HEADACHES VADIM LIGAY
Kazan Helicopter Plant PJSC (KVZ) begins the year with a number of mysterious news.
Firstly, as BUSINESS Online found out, the general director of Kazan Helicopter Plant Vadim Ligay dismissed from the post of Deputy General Director of Russian Helicopters (VR). He was appointed to this post on November 13, 2013 and oversaw the holding's key programs - the implementation of helicopter programs, innovative projects, the modernization of the current model range and the creation of new helicopters - Ka-62, Mi-171A2, Mi-38, a promising medium helicopter. In fact, he was the second person in BP, which undoubtedly strengthened the positions of the Kazan Helicopter Plant.
The press service of the plant confirmed the information, saying that Ligay was relieved of his post as deputy general director of the holding on January 18, 2015. One of the main reasons is “high load”, or more precisely, “the emergence of new tasks to create a new industrial cluster of the holding from two production sites - KVZ and KumAPP” (JSC Kumertau Aviation Production Enterprise, Kumertau, Bashkortostan).
Secondly, last week Kazan Helicopter Plant announced plans of the plant's board of directors to increase the company's capital through an additional issue of 100 million shares with a par value of 1 ruble per share. At the same time, the message indicates the upper limit of the transaction - 20 billion rubles. The placement is planned to be carried out by closed subscription among existing shareholders - Rostec, the Russian Helicopters holding and Oboronprom.
By the way, the decision on additional capitalization will be discussed at extraordinary meeting shareholders on 16 March. And at the next extraordinary meeting, on May 6, the issue of early termination of the powers of the current board of directors and the election of its new composition, which may be reduced from 9 to 7 people, will be raised.
Thirdly, all this is happening against the backdrop of an unprecedented recent history KVZ falling production. According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Republic of Tatarstan, which became available after the recent collegium of the ministry, the volume of output at the pride of Tatarstan plant in 2015 fell by as much as 34.8%. At Kazan Helicopter Plant they did not comment on this information, suggesting to wait for publication accounting report in March. Meanwhile, there were rumors in Kazan that this time the usual 13th salary was not paid at the plant, labor disputes related to wages became more frequent, and, moreover, the enterprise was allegedly preparing to switch to a three-day work...
BUSINESS Online sent a request about all three news to Russian Helicopters, but did not receive a response.
“THE CONTRACT WITH INDIA IS THE ONLY WAY OUT. IF NOT, THINGS WILL BE VERY BAD"
BUSINESS Online sources in the industry shed light on the situation. One of them pointed out that in 2015 Kazan Helicopters really sold a record low number of helicopters for recent years - “no more than 80”. Recall that the company completed 2014 with 107 helicopters and, as stated by its management, in 2015 intended to transfer 110 helicopters to customers. According to the source, there are two main reasons for the fall. Partly it's a matter of bureaucracy: for a number of reasons, the number of signings of acceptance documents has shifted, with a dozen helicopters moved to 2016. But the main thing is that there are no new large orders.
“The reasons for the decline in production at Kazan Helicopter Plant (and not only) are the collapse in oil prices, the completion of large contracts with the United States ( for 63 helicopters, completed at the end of 2014 — approx.ed.) and India ( for 151 helicopters, completion announced in early February — approx. ed.), sanctions, the refusal of Eastern European countries from Russian helicopters, - stated in an interview with BUSINESS Online an expert on helicopter topics, a senior researcher at the Academy. Zhukovsky Evgeny Matveev, as well as our internal systemic problems: the existing model of the industry, which is not able to dynamically work in the new conditions.” According to Matveev, a drop of 34.8% is not normal, “but this is the reality,” no major contracts are expected in 2016-2017, and there are no starting commercial sales of the Mi-38, because there are no buyers.
“We very much hope that contracts with India will be continued,” a source from BUSINESS Online said. “This is the only way out for us today. If not, things will get very bad." Recall that in 2015 it was reported that the Indian Air Force could purchase 48 Mi-17V-5 helicopters from Russia for $1.1 billion. According to Matveev, the probability of concluding a contract is 50 to 50. “Much depends on the alignment of political forces in India itself,” he said. The decision will be repeatedly postponed and changed. Therefore, we need to show patience and care in the form of improving the organization of after-sales service for already delivered helicopters.”
Experts suggest that in the near future the focus of helicopter supplies will have to be shifted from export to orders for Russian law enforcement agencies and civilian consumers. But here KHP will face a tough fight with colleagues from Ulan-Ude. And, apparently, it is not worth counting on large volumes - something within a couple of dozen helicopters ... In the external markets, Russia is being squeezed by China.
“While we were busily engaged in exhibition activities here, China made good helicopters, - stressed the source of "BUSINESS Online". “Yes, today he also buys ours, but this is because his industry is developing strongly and he takes helicopters wherever possible, and sooner or later our neighbor will get enough.”
WHY KAZAN TAKE KUMERTAU IN TOW?
What does additional capitalization in the amount of up to 20 billion rubles mean against this background? Maybe Moscow decided to lend a helping hand to the plant in a difficult moment? Moreover, according to the results of 2014 alone, Kazan Helicopter Plant paid out a fantastic 7.8 billion rubles to shareholders. Is this injection related to some major defense project that will require capital expenditures? ..
Unfortunately, all these romantic versions are dispelled by the source "BUSINESS Online", which connects the additional capitalization with the accession of the same KumAPP, for the sake of which, according to Kazan Helicopter Plant, Ligay left his post at Russian Helicopters. Back in early November 2015, it was announced that by 2018, the authorities and 100% of the shares of the Bashkir plant would be transferred to Kazan Helicopter Plant. In favor of the version that it was decided to complete the merger as soon as possible, the coincidence of numbers also speaks: the upper bar for additional capitalization of KHP coincides with the volume of assets of the Kumertau plant - 19.97 billion rubles.
It is assumed that the united enterprise will produce "combined" products: Kazan Mi-8/17, Mi-38, Ansat and Kumertau Ka-226T, Ka-32A11BC, Ka-31. The restructuring is explained by the desire to optimally distribute the volume of production and repair of helicopters, optimize the management system, increase (thanks to the synergistic effect) the revenue and profit of enterprises and the revenues from them to the budgets of Tatarstan and Bashkortostan. It is stated that there will be more work for Kumertau: they will launch the production of parts and assemblies for the Mi-8, Ansat and Mi-38; the volumes of blanking-stamping, forging-and-pressing and aggregate-assembly production will increase; a competence center will be created for the production of blades from polymers, as well as units of the carrier system of helicopters Ka-52/52K, Ka-62; the production of ground support equipment was organized.
All this would have been good in the fat years, if the Kazan Helicopter Plant had not had time to fend off customers. Now, Kazan helicopter pilots, apparently, will have to share volumes with Bashkir ones, and those, judging by financial indicators, are on the verge of collapse.
The latest available data is for 2014. KumAPP's revenue then grew by 0.2 billion rubles - up to 3.99 billion. At the same time, accounts payable increased by 1.93 billion rubles - up to 4.78 billion, and net loss - 2.5 times, from 1 billion rubles in 2013 to 2.52 billion in 2014. It is unlikely that in 2015, given the general situation, the situation of the plant has improved in any noticeable way.
HOW RUSTEM KHAMITOV "RUN ON" RUSSIAN HELICOPTERS"
How was Kazan Helicopter Plant involved in this misalliance? The situation was clarified by another source of BUSINESS Online in the industry: “The meaning is this. To the guys who formed the current mega-holdings such as Russian Helicopters, the United Engine Corporation ( Recall that both holdings are part of Rostec, which is headed bySergei Chemezov — approx.ed.), I don’t want to have in my reports an enterprise that pulls everyone back from year to year. Therefore, it must be "hidden". Where? Nowhere in particular. So they decided to join the successful plant ... Things are very bad in Kumertau, and trying to hide it is no longer good. People from year to year take budget money, invest it, but there is no result, although, in principle, everything should be fine at the plant - there is, as it were, a promising order ( I mean plans for a joint production with India of 120 to 600 Ka-226T helicopters —approx. ed.). In a word, there are no objective circumstances for things to go the way they go ... "
Our interlocutor also draws attention to the lobbying efforts of the head of Bashkortostan Rustem Khamitov, who allegedly promised to raise the issue of many years of idleness of Russian Helicopters before the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin: "In fact, he scared them."
In August 2013, Khamitov did indeed publicly blame Russian Helicopters for KumAPP's losses due to a lack of orders. Judging by the reports of the Bashkir press, Khamitov's statements about Russian Helicopters were very expressive: Russia" was misled with the construction of the center of composite materials. We even rashly informed the whole country that it is planned to build such a center for composite materials in Kumertau... A year has passed - silence, nothing, only promises. You can hang noodles on your ears, but not for so long, and we also understand and understand some things. Then Khamitov promised to report everything to the Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin and talk tough with the management of Russian Helicopters...
In turn, Matveev considers the decision to join Kumertau to Kazan Helicopter Plant as a result of intrigues in the holding and a continuation of pulling the blanket over the industry (recall, for example, what legends were about the “warm” relations between Kazan Helicopter Plant and the Ulan-Ude Helicopter Plant). Therefore, he considers all the tasks of the merger announced today only as a screen: “The organizers themselves do not yet know what KumAPP will do after the merger. And no one knows."
What does all this mean for Ligay himself? On the one hand, the withdrawal of Russian Helicopters from the "politburo", whatever one may say, is a hardware downgrade. In this regard, in expert circles, even seemingly wild rumors about his departure from the helicopter industry ... to the government of the Republic of Tatarstan began to spread.
On the other hand, one can speak, on the contrary, of betting on Ligay and his team as a lifesaver. Moreover, the Kazan Helicopter Plant team has demonstrated such qualities more than once over the past two decades. By the way, with the accession of KumAPP, Ligay will also be responsible for the aforementioned Indian contract for the Ka-226, on the clarity and quality of which, as they say, the future of Russian helicopters in the Asian market, which is most important for them, will largely depend. In a word, if Ligay succeeds in draining the Bashkir “swamp”, turning KumAPP into a flourishing enterprise, his position will certainly strengthen. And no, it's not.
The honored Kazan helicopter builder is “leaving” without waiting until his 65th birthday, but perhaps now he will go for a promotion
At the Kazan Helicopter Plant these days, half-jokingly, they are learning how to say “hello” and “goodbye” in Bashkir. The team is discussing the news with might and main: in the coming days, they will introduce a new general director - Yuri Pustovgarov, the former head of Kumertau helicopter manufacturers. BUSINESS Online experts find it difficult to name the reasons for the changes, but they do not exclude that Ligay is not retiring, but is moving to Moscow to take the position of deputy general director of Russian Helicopters. And this is not the limit for him ...
One can only guess about the reason for the resignation of Vadim Ligai, who managed the Kazan Helicopter Plant for almost 11 years / Photo: tatarstan.ru
...YOU HE GOES AWAY
Several sources of BUSINESS Online reported on the eve that in the coming days the staff of Kazan Helicopter Plant PJSC (KVZ) will be presented with a new CEO. It will now be the former managing director of JSC Kumertau Aviation Production Enterprise (KumAPP; like KVZ, it is part of the Russian Helicopters holding - BP) Yuri Pustovgarov. According to one of our sources, he will also take one of the members of his former team to Kazan - the executive director of KumAPP Ilfira Fayzullina.
"BUSINESS Online" invited the press service of Kazan Helicopter Plant to comment on this information, but they answered us that no orders or other documents on appointments were issued.
Note that the talk about the departure of the current general director of Kazan Helicopter Plant Vadim Ligay circulate for years. The rumors aggravated in the middle of last December, when BUSINESS Online sources reported that the main candidate for this post was the General Director of KOMZ JSC Sergey Rakovets. Our interlocutors claim that he was at an interview at BP, and then the versions diverge: a) refused himself; b) did not suit the CEO of BP Andrey Boginsky.
One can only guess about the reason for the resignation of Ligay, who managed the plant for almost 11 years. Yes, formally it can be reproached for reducing the production of helicopters: in peak 2014 - 107, in 2015 - 77, in 2016 - 70, in 2017 - no more than 70 helicopters. But after all, there was growth: 2007 - 35 cars, 2008 - 58, 2009 - 65, 2010 - 80, 2011 - 93, 2012 - 98, 2013 - 103. Yes, and it is obvious that the crisis was programmed by many factors, including the actions of BP themselves.
Several sources immediately reported the day before that a new general director would be introduced to the Kazan Helicopter Plant staff in the coming days. They will be Yuri Pustovgarov Photo: Ladislav Karpov/TASS
“The years of Ligai’s reign were a prosperous period for the plant,” says Chief Editor industry portal "Aviarunet" Roman Gusarov. — Perhaps there were higher expectations, but... Nevertheless, even despite the negative sales dynamics over the past few years, Kazan Helicopter Plant responded to market requirements, including as a developer: last year Ansat received a civil certificate, good send his medical versions. But an expert on helicopter topics, a senior researcher at the Academy. Zhukovsky and industry blogger Evgeny Matveev, is somewhat skeptical: “More likely, Ligay’s time was a decade of high oil prices, the largest orders (India, the USA and others), high demand for military transport helicopters from third countries (due to the threat of terrorism, intensification of military conflicts), but also a decade hard work of the KVZ team. However, the era of high oil prices is over...”
Perhaps we are dealing with reshuffles of an administrative and intriguing nature, as was the custom in Russian circles leading anything in general. The factory workers also pay attention to the fact that the honored Ligay “left” without waiting for a convenient occasion - his 65th birthday (March 26), which is somehow “out of line”.
Evgeny Matveev: “Lines up new system our helicopter fleet, the relationship between the center and the regions is changing, management company, developers, manufacturers, service company" Photo: Vitaly Ankov, RIA Novosti
It is possible that we are dealing with a rush associated with the election of the President of Russia and the formation of a new government. “It's not about the general directors of factories,” says a source for BUSINESS Online in the aviation industry. “It looks like a big reshuffling of leaders is coming after the elections, we see its forerunners.”
According to Matveev, we are simply observing the continuation of personnel changes that started with the arrival of Boginsky (for example, in the board of directors of BP, at the Moscow Helicopter Plant, Kamov, KumAPP, in the Helicopter Service Company). Recall that Boginsky took the post of CEO of BP almost exactly a year ago - on January 31, 2017, moving to the state corporation from the position of the profile deputy minister of industry Denis Manturov. “A new system of our helicopter economy is being built, the relationship between the center and the regions, the management company, developers, manufacturers, and the service company are changing,” the expert believes.
IF KAZAN DOES NOT GO TO KUMERTAU, IS KUMERTAU GOING TO KAZAN?
But why was Pustovgarov appointed as a replacement? There is no exact information on this. One of our interlocutors suggested that if they decided to remove Ligay for some reason, then at least an approximately adequate replacement was required: “Well, there must be someone! And it’s hard to find a person with such experience in helicopter construction as Ligay has.”
From March 2006 to April 2011 - Deputy Prime Minister of Bashkortostan - Minister of Industry, Investment and Innovation Policy. Shortly after coming Rustem Khamitov his career began to decline, but did not go down - he took the post of president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Belarus, was elected a deputy of the State Assembly of the Republic of Belarus.
In December 2015, Pustovgarov returned to the aircraft industry - he was appointed managing director of KumAPP (this is the main position at the plant). This plant specializes in the production of coaxial helicopters developed by the Kamov Design Bureau. KumAPP produces all types of helicopters for Navy Russia, including modifications of the Ka-27, Ka-29 and Ka-31. In addition to the military, the company builds civil helicopters Ka-32A11BC, as well as light Ka-226T.
It is interesting that this return of Pustovgarov to aircraft manufacturing origins happened on the wave of precisely Kazan themes. In November 2015, BP unexpectedly decided to join the traditionally Kamovskiy KumAPP to the original Milevsky Kazan Helicopter Plant. They explained the reform in an ornate way - by the desire to optimally distribute the volume of production and repair of helicopter equipment, optimize the management system, increase the revenue and profit of enterprises and the income from them to the budgets of Tatarstan and Bashkortostan. It was assumed that the combined company would produce "united" products: Kazan's Mi-8/17, Mi-38, Ansat and Kumertau's Ka-226T, Ka-32A11BC, Ka-31. But the source of "BUSINESS Online" then explained the matter by the elementary desire of the leadership of BP to "hide" an eyesore unprofitable enterprise in the bowels of a strong plant. In addition, Khamitov then actually accused the leadership of BP of sabotaging the download of KumAPP and promised to convey this message to the country's leadership.
Be that as it may, it was stated that Pustovgarov would help KumAPP to seamlessly go under the control of Kazan Helicopter Plant. Accordingly, it is unlikely that his appointment could take place without the approval, or even recommendation, from Ligay - after all, they had to work in one bundle-subordination.
Now, with the "patronage" of Kazan Helicopters, the picture is not very clear. According to the extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the Kazan plant still performs the functions of an executive body in KumAPP (which is why, in fact, Pustovgarov is not the general director). However, there is not a word about this on the plant's page, the wording in the reporting has also changed. The documents for the fourth quarter of 2015 speak of the beginning of management by KHP, but in the report for the fourth quarter of 2016, the wording changes: KumAPP is included in the same group of persons as KHP. A similar wording is in the last list of affiliates for the fourth quarter of 2017. A source of "BUSINESS Online" in the government of the Republic of Tatarstan said that the case simply died out. Perhaps the situation has simply changed - if earlier the Kazan Helicopter Plant could take someone in tow, now he himself is in trouble.
HONORARY RETIRED OR...
Most likely, our experts were right when they initially stated that BP themselves do not understand what they want to do by merging KVZ and KumAPP. It is interesting that then, under the sauce of creating the Tatarstan-Bashkortostan helicopter association, Ligay was removed from the post of Deputy General Director of BP, which he held in parallel with the directorship at Kazan Helicopter Plant. Then it was reported that one of the main reasons for the resignation was "high workload", or more precisely, "the emergence of new tasks to create a new industrial cluster of the holding from two production sites - KVZ and KumAPP".
It is curious that today we can see a kind of reverse process. Sources of "BUSINESS Online" report that after leaving the Kazan Helicopter Plant, Ligay will be appointed ... Deputy General Director of BP. Second time in the same water? Rather looks like a sinecure after an honorable resignation. Matveev believes that we are seeing the result of some kind of “exchange”, and points out that Ligay is not the first to be like this (recently, the executive director of the Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant was appointed to the deputies of BP Mikhail Korotkevich, and the ex-executive director of Kamov Vladimir Makareikin became director of BP for science and technology). “The CEO of Russian Helicopters has 9 deputies,” states Matveev. Yes, and, you can add, Ligay's age is appropriate ...
Another opinion is shared by one of the sources of "BUSINESS Online": "Honorable resignation? Then they would come up with a position without authority, but here - quite a full-fledged deputy. Yes, 65 years old is a respectable age, and now they are trying to put young animals around. But Boginsky ( 1974 year of birth — approx. ed.), in my opinion, it is too early to lead a corporation. And then the corporation is not a civil service, there are no age restrictions. And for different periods of the life of the company - different tasks. There is a time when you have a product and you need to increase sales - then you need a leader who understands financing, promotions, sales. And when you need to create new products, you need a production worker. Perhaps, now, after the leapfrog of changes in the top management of the holding, such a person was needed. The appointments of economists, lawyers, and sociologists to the aviation industry are already quite bewildering.”
It is worth saying here that experts have long pointed out that the holding, in fact, does not create a new product. The source noted that, according to his information, under the shadow of Rostec (which includes BP), a merger of the helicopter holding and the United Aircraft Corporation is being prepared, that is, in fact, a new ministry is being created aviation industry. Every true professional counts. According to the interlocutor, Ligay has every chance of becoming one of the highest figures in the Russian helicopter industry.
Another of our interlocutors recalled that Vadim Alexandrovich oversaw the key programs of the holding at BP - the modernization of the current model range and the creation of new helicopters - Ka-62, Mi-171A2, Mi-38, a promising medium helicopter: “It was not for nothing that Ligay was made deputy for new technology , although here the image of Kazan Helicopter Plant played as an advanced plant.
At the end of last year, the team of Tomasz Navratil, well known in Tatarstan for his optimization activities, worked at Kazan Helicopter Plant. production processes

AND WHAT DOES TOMASS FUCK HERE?
To all appearances, Pustovgarov should give KHP some acceleration. Under him, things seemed to go smoothly at KumAPP, and in 2016 the plant sold products worth 6.2 billion, and in 2017 planned 13.1 billion. It can only be seen as a lost Indian contract for the manufacture of 60 Ka-226s. Initially, they were supposed to be built in Kumertau, but then the order went to Ulan-Ude.
So, perhaps, the unification of the Kazan and Kumertau plants will still take place? In a BP release dated November 2015, it was said: “The main tasks that are planned to be solved during the merger production capacity by transferring the powers of the sole executive body KumAPP and its shares to the Kazan Helicopter Plant, - the optimal distribution of production and repair of helicopter equipment in 2018-2023.
However, for example, Matveev is sure that in the near future there will be no merger between KVZ and KumAPP, but he points out how Bashkir managers can be useful in Kazan: “Difficult times have come in the global helicopter industry. Manufacturers and developers are actively looking for new ways (and we are no exception). New personnel are capable of new solutions, including unpopular ones.”
In this regard, we note that, as it became known to BUSINESS Online, at the end of last year a team Tomas Navratil, well known in Tatarstan for its activities to optimize production processes at KAMAZ, in the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan and in the government of the Republic of Tatarstan. According to our information, Torquemada was sent to Kazan Helicopters by Russian Helicopters. Navratil himself, in an interview with BUSINESS Online, confirmed the fact that his team was working at the Kazan Helicopter Plant, but did not discuss the details. The press service of Kazan Helicopter Plant also does not comment on the invitation of the Czech anti-crisis manager. At the plant, meanwhile, they are talking about the upcoming second wave of the work of the Navratil team and fear a reduction in staff. It is possible that this will be the case to some extent, however, our source, who predicted Ligay a prominent role in the new "minaviaprom", believes that the Kazan Helicopter will receive hefty preferences in terms of loading.

Vadim Ligay: Russian Helicopters and Kazan Helicopter Plant increase cooperation between Russia and Indonesia
The guests were welcomed by Acting President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov and Deputy General Director of the Russian Helicopters holding, General Director of Kazan Helicopter Plant Vadim Ligay. Welcoming the guests, he said: “Russian Helicopters Holding and the Kazan Helicopter Plant are constantly increasing cooperation between Russia and Indonesia in the field of supplying helicopters through Rosoboronexport. For many years, Indonesia has been an important strategic partner for us. I am confident that our mutually beneficial cooperation will be strengthened.”
Chairman of the Chinese Parliament visited the Kazan Helicopter Plant
“Cooperation between Kazan Helicopter Plant and Chinese partners spans more than one decade. The history of our relations began with the supply of S-4 combines, which were produced by our plant in postwar period. Now we are supplying Mi-8/17 helicopters - in total there are already about 200 helicopters. We hope that mutually beneficial cooperation between our enterprises and countries will continue to increase momentum, new commercial ties and contacts will appear,” said Vadim Ligai, General Director of Kazan Helicopter Plant.
Vadim LIGAY, Kazan Helicopter Plant PJSC: “Over the past 5 years, the volume of product sales has grown 5 times!”
According to Vadim Ligay, General Director of Kazan Helicopter Plant, high results were achieved with the personal support of the President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov. It was Rustam Nurgalievich who did everything possible to modernize the plant's production facilities. Over the past 5 years, the volume of sales of products has increased 5 times. At the same time, the number of employees remained at the same level.
Vadim Ligay taught schoolchildren leadership
One of the most effective managers of Russian mechanical engineering, the head of the Kazan Helicopter Plant Vadim Ligay, at his master class for students of "helicopter" classes, told how to build a career in the field of mechanical engineering and revealed the secrets of leadership.
General Director of the Kazan Helicopter Plant, Deputy General Director of the Russian Helicopters holding (part of the Rostec State Corporation) Vadim Ligai held a master class "Development of leadership qualities" for students of the "helicopter" classes of Kazan Gymnasium No. 8. Special classrooms were created with the support of the plant to prepare applicants entering the country's leading technical universities. The head of the Kazan Helicopter Plant spoke about the prestige of engineering specialties and how to build a career in the field of mechanical engineering and cultivate a leader in oneself.
Vadim Ligay: "It's not enough to do what comes easily"
Why the Kazan Helicopter Plant is not afraid of Western sanctions, where the first Mi-38 helicopters will go, how the work of test pilots in Kazan differs from work at other plants in the country, and also the General Director of the Kazan Helicopter Plant spoke about innovative design solutions in an interview with TatCenter.ru Vadim Ligai, Deputy General Director of the Russian Helicopters holding of the Rostec State Corporation.
Why Vadim Ligay gives orders outside of Tatarstan
In the technopark "KNIAT" at the end of last week round table on the prospects for realizing the potential of innovative platforms, organized by the Committee of the State Council of the Republic of Tajikistan on Economy, Investments and Entrepreneurship. The parliamentarians invited the Minister of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan Artem Zdunov and representatives of the venues to speak at it. The correspondent of BUSINESS Online, who attended the event, learned what the “problem of socialist hostel” is according to the Khimgrad technopolis and why it is necessary to create an airfield for local airlines in every locality.
