The President of the Foundation is Svetlana Vladimirovna Medvedeva, Trustee of the National Program "Spiritual and Moral Culture of the Younger Generation in Russia". On her initiative and with her personal participation, a number of important social, cultural and educational projects have been developed. Among them are the All-Russian holiday “Day of Family, Love and Fidelity”, celebrated since 2008, and the “Give Me Life” campaign, which is based on the right of the child to life and care for the reproductive health of women.

Their main task is the prevention of oncological diseases of the reproductive sphere and mammary glands. Soon such centers will be opened in other regions of Russia.

A number of the Fund's projects are aimed at helping talented and gifted children, at implementing programs for the social adaptation of orphans and children left without parental care, at promoting the all-round development and formation of the civic position of the new generation. Thanks to the effective participation of the Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives and personally Svetlana Medvedeva, the Radiant Angel International Charity Film Festival, which takes place annually in Moscow during the November school holidays, received a new impetus.

The Fund's projects in the field of culture and art are aimed at expanding and strengthening interregional cultural ties, at restoring a common cultural space between Russia and the CIS countries, at conducting a cultural dialogue between countries of near and far abroad in a language that does not have national, geographical and political boundaries - in the language art.

The Foundation for Socio-Cultural Initiatives is designed to support state and public initiatives, to serve for the benefit of the cultural development and social well-being of Russia.

What will the winemakers of the Medvedev Funds produce? Investigation of the "Interlocutor"

The current CEO of Bereg, Stanislav Osmolovsky, simultaneously heads a number of other firms also associated with the prime minister. For example, Nautilus was founded by Dmitry Solovyov, one of the founders of the Svetlana Medvedeva Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives. It was these people who were instructed to start cultivating vineyards in Anapa.

Who registered in the "secret empire of Medvedev"

"Certum-Invest", according to SPARK, belongs to 70% of Philip Polyansky. He also headed the "Gift" in 2008. The fund itself and legal entities associated with it manage the real estate that Dmitry Medvedev uses as residences, Navalny argues. The Dara branch in the North-West is headed by Olga Travina. She is a co-founder and former head of another foundation - the Svetlana Medvedeva Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives.

Transparency International: there is no evidence that Medvedev owns the assets declared by FBK

Ilya Eliseev is Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Dar Foundation, the Foundation for the Support of Socially Significant State Projects (Sotsgosproekt), the Foundation for the Support of Winter Olympic Sports and the Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives (FSCI). Only in the Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives, since its inception in 2008, the president has been the wife of the Russian Prime Minister, Svetlana Medvedeva.

The Ministry of Education and Science spent 5 million rubles to hold a “fake” event of the Social Initiatives Fund, whose president is the wife of the Prime Minister

The name of the wife of the Prime Minister of Russia served as a screen. At the end of 2014, the federal ministry allocated 5 million for the development of the Social Initiatives Fund project, whose president is Svetlana Medvedeva. Fontanka was looking for traces of this money spent on a press conference without a press and on top bloggers without an audience. The amount was paid to an invisible company whose phone is installed in the office of the Ministry of Education and Science.

Fontanka wanted to write about the good. About how the state cares about the Russian language and its development in Finland: in the fall of 2014, the Ministry of Education and Science spent 847,725 rubles on the development of educational and methodological materials on teaching Russian as a foreign language specifically for this country. So the subject of attention of journalists was Capital Education LLC, which fulfilled the state order.

It was not possible to tell our readers in more detail about the undertaking, since the traces of the methodology were lost. The Ministry of Education and Science, after listening to the question, asked to send it in writing - there is no answer yet. An attempt to contact "Capital Education" led to embarrassment: the contractor's contact phone number, indicated in the government contract card on the official website, as it turned out, was set by the Ministry of Education. The organization does not have its own website.

Lightning technique

Surprised by the mysteriousness of the scientific organization, Fontanka looked at the terms of the state contract and was even more surprised. According to the task, the result was to be a work of 12 printed sheets, which roughly corresponds to a hundred A4 pages. It was supposed to include at least five sets of information and methodological educational, didactic and methodological materials and manuals focused on solving the problems of teaching the Russian language in Finland, taking into account different levels of education and years of study. The contract was concluded on December 17, after Capital Education won the competition from two competitors with a minimal advantage. The work performance certificate was signed on December 22, 2014. That is, the scientific and methodological work of 100 pages was completed by the specialists of the "Capital Education" in 2 working days. That doesn't happen.

Journalists' skepticism was shaken by the impressive package of government contracts successfully executed by the company. According to the official website of public procurement, in 2013-2014, Capital Education signed 12 contracts, receiving about 22 million rubles from the Ministry of Education and Science and budget educational institutions Moscow. To finally make sure that skepticism is groundless, we looked at how Capital Education coped with the previous major task. The result made us think about the courage of businessmen and officials who seem to have written off several million to the fund of Svetlana Medvedeva. Relatively modest hundreds of thousands for the method of studying the Russian language in Finland (which the Finnish professors had not heard of) seemed like a prank.

5 million to promote good

The Social Initiatives Fund is an organization founded in December 2008 under the patronage of Svetlana Medvedeva, the wife of then President and current Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev. Among the projects of the fund there is a public-state initiative "Hot Heart", which is designed to "find, support, express recognition and gratitude to caring people, children's and youth public associations and organizations that are ready to selflessly help people in need, showed examples of courageous and courageous deeds implemented socially significant initiatives and projects”. Those who are not indifferent are annually collected in Moscow, where they are honored in the presence of government people and pop stars, as well as a special badge.

The Foundation's initiative is actively supported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Commissioner for Children's Rights under the President. The Ministry of Science and Education is also supportive. So much so that in the fall of 2014 it announced a competition for the conclusion of a state contract, promising to pay 5 million rubles for "organizational support for the All-Russian Public and State Initiative "Hot Heart". Having reduced the price by 75 thousand, the competition was won by "Capital Education". Judging by the signed act of completed work, the performer coped with the task. To clear their conscience, Fontanka journalists got acquainted with the conditions. We read the list of necessary works, compared them with reality. And wondered why the director of the department public policy in the field of education of children and youth of the Ministry of Education and Science, Alexander Stradze signed an act on the performance of work, no traces of which could be found.

money for air

In accordance with the state contract, in the period from October 1 to October 15, 2014, the "Capital Education" had to do a lot to popularize the "Hot Heart" initiative. According to the act, in time. A cursory comparison of the document on the performance of work with reality causes dissonance.

Even elementary requirements have not been fulfilled, as any Internet user can be convinced of. In the contract - the performer is obliged to create three accounts in in social networks(Facebook, Twitter and VKontakte) "with 10,000 people filled with content." Searches for these accounts on social networks were unsuccessful. An order for publications from top bloggers is provided (and paid for). It would be interesting to see examples. We didn't find them.

But they found the VKontakte community. Under the terms of the paid contract, the group must contain 10,000 unique members. In January 2015, there were 3 (three) participants and 2 (two) entries in the group - the emblem of the initiative and the unanswered question: "Who among us is proud of what he has done?"

Further in the conditions - writing scripts and shooting "viral videos". The plural means that there must be more than one roller. Fontanka was able to find one Hot Heart video on the Web, which appeared in the fall of 2014. The question remains whether a video viewed by 12 people (including two journalists) can be called "viral".

Virtual characters of social networks are pennies compared to the money that was released and spent on holding (or not holding) mass events. Seminars were allegedly held in 9 federal districts (including the Northwestern), each of which was supposed to be attended by 4 candidates of sciences as speakers, and 150 listeners as participants. We do not know if these seminars were held. If they were held, they were carried out so secretly that even the profile committee on youth policy of the administration of St. Petersburg did not learn about an important social and state event. There, Fontanka was assured that, of course, they knew about the Hot Heart, but they had not heard about any seminars in October.

Lost Conference

The culmination is the all-Russian conference of the "Hot Heart", which, judging by the contract and the certificate of completion, was successfully held in Moscow. The event, according to documents, was attended by at least 250 people responsible for youth policy in the regions. All those present were provided with packages, diplomas, plastic envelopes and notepads. Ballpoint pens and pencils to write in notebooks, and erasers to erase if I wrote wrong. The conference hall was equipped with all kinds of technology, and two banners hung on the walls. The meeting lasted two days, the cloakroom and the buffet worked.

Based on the results of a simple conference, recorded in the work performance certificate, a press conference was held, about which releases were sent in advance to print and electronic media, TV channels and radio stations.

Fontanka journalists searched for traces of a large-scale event for a long time and unsuccessfully. The forum and the subsequent press conference passed without leaving anything in the information field. Not a single media outlet was found that mentioned it. Moreover, nothing is said about the all-Russian conference of the Hot Heart, even on the official website of the Hot Heart.

Dumbfounded by the new format of the event - a secret press conference in secret from the press, the correspondent turned to the Social Initiatives Fund. Alexander Pashkin, head of the fund's public relations department, assured that the fund did not hold any conferences or press conferences in the fall.

When the journalist asked how the fund could comment on the content and results of the state contract, Alexander Pashkin suggested that this could be an event of the Ministry of Education and Science, held without the knowledge of the fund. And the press conference could have been closed, so the press does not know about it.

Even if, in fact, the specialists of the "Capital Education" carried out a daring innovative project, having managed to hold a conference of the movement without an organizer of the movement and a press conference without the media, it is not clear why the customer, represented by the Ministry of Education and Science, did not have any questions: nevertheless, according to the assignment, journalists must were at the event to attend. If Fontanka is wrong, it will not be difficult for Capital Education to refute unworthy insinuations, because after the conferences, according to the same contract, 1.5 thousand photos and a two-hour video should remain.

At the reception of Alexander Stradze, they refused to connect the correspondent with the director of the department, redirecting him to the press service of the ministry. The press service asked for a written request, which was immediately sent.

The invisible performer

Interested in a new approach to the advertising process, the main hallmark which is invisibility, the journalists continued their attempts to contact the management of Stolichnoye obrazovanie LLC. According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the general director of the LLC is Andrey Andrianov, and the sole founder is Irina Knyazeva. With the help of the SPARK-Interfax system, the phone of the general director was found. Ekaterina Yemelyanova, who, according to SPARK, headed the company until May 2014, picked up the mobile phone.

Ekaterina Emelyanova assured that already more than a year has nothing to do with Capital Education, does not know the address and phone number, and it makes no sense to call the founder, since she also has nothing to do with the activities of the society. But still asked to send a question by e-mail. She will try to contact "whoever is doing this now." The question was sent, the answer has not yet been received. The conversation left a strange impression, especially since Emelyanova's mobile phone number was indicated as a contact number in the card of the state contract for "Hot Heart".

On this, the search for the “Capital Education” ended before it began. Trying to find a company at the place of registration would be naive - 4658 companies are registered in office 19 at 44 Bolshaya Serpukhovskaya Street in Moscow (SPARK data). The persons responsible for the conclusion of state contracts with the "Capital Education" in the Ministry of Education listened politely and promised to call back. Until they called back.

As for CEO Andrey Andrianov and founder Irina Knyazeva, information about them is scarce. Knyazeva, according to Fontanka, previously worked at the Academy of Management and Market (which was headed by Deputy Minister of Education and Science Veniamin Kaganov before moving to the Moscow and then to the federal government).

High patrons

The “Hot Heart” has enough patrons of the highest level. Starting from Svetlana Medvedeva, who heads the organizing committee, and continuing with Deputy Minister of Education and Science Veniamin Kaganov, State Secretary of the Ministry of Emergency Situations Vladimir Artamonov, Commissioner for Children's Rights Pavel Astakhov and other serious people.

Fontanka is interested in their reaction to our publication.
