State Enterprise Vladimirskoe
The director and accountant are being denied access to the Vladimirskoye State Enterprise (Vladimirovka village, Kazankovsky District, Mykolaiv Oblast), citing verbal instructions from former director Alexei Ruban. This was reported by Viktor Berg, director of the Vladimirskoye State Enterprise, appointed by order of the regional branch of the State Property Fund.
"On August 6, 2016, we tried to enter the plant again. The gates were locked, and we weren't allowed in. Furthermore, the fired director, with the help of local council members, is attempting to seize control of the winery. The Kazankovsky District Council adopted a provocative appeal demanding the reinstatement of former director Ruban, who was fired in early July for nepotism, losses, and embezzlement," stated Viktor Berg.
According to the director of the Vladimirskoye State Enterprise, Ruban is on sick leave, but is waging a lawless campaign and spreading rumors that the State Property Fund is allegedly at war with him and engaging in corporate raiding: "This is absurd. It's absurd to accuse the state of corporate raiding a state-owned enterprise. It's especially outrageous that this brazen seizure of state property—not municipal, not private!—is accompanied by paid rallies under the slogan of decentralization, while the state-owned enterprise is being run by a corrupt clan. This isn't decentralization at all, but rather some kind of anarcho-ochlocracy."
Viktor Berg, director of the Vladimirskoye State Enterprise, claims that in order to appropriate the state-owned winery, former director Alexey Ruban reduced the staff from 89 to 28 in recent years. Ruban ensured that only "his" people worked at the state-owned enterprise, hoping the state would gift the enterprise to the workforce. He appointed his father as the head of the winery and his mother as the technologist.
According to Viktor Berg, Ruban's dismissal was caused by a bad debt of 366 hryvnias, which Ruban had failed to collect, as well as misappropriation of 529 hryvnias. Viktor Berg intends to report to the police the denial of access to the director and accountant, which led to delays in inventory and salary payments, as well as Ruban's corrupt actions and losses to the state.
