Ural Investment Agency Changes its Plans

T

he opening of the Park Inn hotel in Izhevsk is postponed for an indefinite period. Its management company is the LLC “Ural Investment Group” and the investor is presented by Izhevsk Komos Group.

The decision is caused by the deficit financing resulting from the liquidity crisis. The hotel cost and the scarcity of funds are not revealed. The hotel was supposed to be put into operation at the beginning of October.

Park Inn is a midmarket level brand of American hotel operator Rezidor SAS Hospitality. Rezidor portfolio includes more than 350 hotels with over 72 thousand rooms situated in 53 countries of Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Berezniki Soda Works reduces its overall production

A

ccording to the newspaper, the JSC «Berezniki Soda Works» is going to decrease its production volume.

The company is a supplier of glass industry in Russia. However some of branch enterprises are frozen and order volume is contracted.

Meanwhile the

project on heavy soda production is being implemented. The needed equipment is already acquired and the manufacturing complex is now under construction. This year investments into the project amount to s5.6 million and next year it is expected to invest about s4.7 million. In

addition the company accounts for medium term credits.

At the same time a positive side is in the fact that metallurgical coal suppliers reduced the prices for it. Till the end of the year the company’s management is going to search for the possible solutions to the existing problem.

The PSK company haven’t paid these enterprises for two periods of heat supply.

The default in payment is an obligate result of the termination of bank crediting.

Moreover existing

volumes. Decision to reduce production output in “Uralkali” is explained by current reduction of potash manure purchase in the world and lowering sales volumes of its traders.

Belarusian potassium company “Uralkali” representatives mention that difficult situation on the world market negatively influenced

all traders including agriculture.

Hastily getting rid of finances was stimulated by pessimistic attitudes on stock market and market of raw materials, as well as crisis of liquidity lead to reducing of prices for agricultural products, which at the moment isn’t showing fundamentally strong characteristics of the field.

Igor Shubin : “they all have already blew off “Makromir” , “PIK-Region” and “Development–Iug” Recently Igor Shubin the head of Perm City expressed his opinion that “Makromir” Company (St. Petersburg) hold up construction works of race track course in the city. His opinion is that this situation is connected with financial crisis that stroke most construction companies as well as stagnation of the field on the whole.

“I don’t know anything about plans of “PIK” Group besides that they froze construction works as well as “Development–Iug”. They all blew off “Makromir”, “PIK-Region” and “Development-Iug”, they are all in deep thoughts“— shared Igor Shubin.

t was planned to discharge employees at pulp and paper plant “Kama” even before the crisis because of the situation in pulp and paper industry.

KES-Holding Offspring Stopped Footing the Bill

The company had no problems with payments till August but now its current debt to PGES is about `2 million. Besides the entreprise is in debt to Perm’s Fuel and Energy Company (PTEK), The LLC “Teplo-M” and “Perm silicate panel factory”.

In that way the company according to current year results production output will be reduced by 9, 3% comparing with planned

The organization of the working team charged with the construction of the trunk railway “Belkomur”, that is intended to link the cities of Arkhangelsk, Syktyvkar and Perm, is expected to reach completion in the near future. This is what Oganes Oganyan, senator of Perm region, said in an interview. Meanwhile the financial crisis aggravates the investment situation: it remains unclear how the Sovereign Wealth Fund is planning to finance existing projects. This will primarily depend on the market situation. Thus, the realization of the “Belkomur” project will be inevitably governed by macro economy.

erm’s Network Company (PSK) accumulates the debts to its business partners. This statement was put out by Denis Ushakov, the general director of PermGazEnergoService (PGES).

ccording to representative of “Uralkali” production output of potassium chloride will be reduced by 500 000 ton and in 2008 will make 4,9 ton.

Belkomur Construction – the Matter of Macro economy

credit portfolios are sequestrated and credit interest rates are changed. As explained

by Ushakov, “the situation will only get worse each day and it would be very undesirable to come back to the 1990s, the period of bilateral clearing. We were suggested to acquire the debt portfolio of management companies to cope with the situation”. On his opinion the hardest period for the electric power industry should be expected in the March of 2009.

But situation got worsen because of situation on the world and Russian markets.

According to web seit of Perm Region Governor Administration it is estimated that 1000 employees of pulp and paper plant will lose their jobs. In accordance with agreement of social partnership between the plant and region administration, today was created a working

team in the Region to help with finding a job those who lost it. It consists of employee’s representatives, trade unions and local authorities.

Working team with Vladislav Djgukov as a leader made an offer to plan of measures for

company management.

So today an advisory board of Krasnokamsk City employment Center is starting to work at the pulp and paper plant.

Working team will hold meetings every week controlling observation of rights, social guarantees of workers who lost jobs.

Perm Region Government created “Anticrisis committee”

Government of Permsky Krai created a committee to work out new conception of budget of the Region, taking into consideration crisis influence of the Worlds economic crisis. In Region Board of Exchequer they reported that the main task of the committee is cutting down costs that were planned for 2008 aiming to economize funds for 2009.

Besides, members of the committee are doing analysis to reconsider items of expenses for 2009. “Budget pillows” for Permsky Krai in situation of crisis will be cutting down road economy costs that were doubled comparing with last years.

At the same time we found out that leaders of Permsky Krai Administration went another way.Particullary it was made a decision to take aside conception of city budget and to offer a new variant of “Anticrisis draft of the bill”.

According to the Board of Exchequer of Perm Region this format of work is not acceptable because the draft of the bill in the budget need to be passed by the end of the year.

he Limited Society Permgrazhdanstroy director Vitaly Ryadkin reported that the company isn’t going to chop and change its plans in the face of the progressing financial crisis: business park construction in the quarter outlined

by Kommunisticheskaya, Popova, Sovetskaya and Osinskaya Streets is set to be launched in the nearest future.

According to the company’s top-manager, engineering documentation is to be certified in the first quarter of 2009. At the same time Permgrazhdanstroy is expecting to obtain the building permit and present the business park project in the town-planning committee of the city administration.

It should be reminded that Permgrazhdanstroy is expecting to erect an architectural complex of 120 square meters at the former site of Permskaya confectionary. The architectural ensemble will include a hotel under the management of international operator, commercial real estate and luxurious apartments.

The estimated cost of the project’s realization fluctuates between €202.83 million — €289.76 million.

The general contractor of the project is Austrian company Strabag AG

Vitaly Ryadkin reported that neither the project implementation period, nor investment volume have changed because of the crisis.

At the present moment the company’s specialists work on the ownercontractor agreement.

However, the project’s

co-investors have not been determined yet.

According to Permgrazhdanstroy director, the company holds negotiations with both Russian and foreign business structures.

He agreed to name them only after some certain agreements are achieved.

The business park hotel operator has been chosen beforehand, Starwood Company that works under the brand Sheraton is to perform this function. Meanwhile Permgrazhdanstroy continues negotiations with several international hotel operators.

However, construction start time remains uncertain. “We are very much interested in the earliest possible startup time and working hard on it”, says Vitaly Ryadkin.

CO-INVESTORS FOR EURO TOWERS

T

he Euro Towers project developer, conjoint Israeli-Russian Company “Kama Gate” has officially declared that it’s going to cardinally reformat its previous project: two out of three first order residential buildings will be replaced by a 23-storey hotel and 42-storey business center. Today the company is in search of co-investors that will undertake the expenses.

According to the company’s Director General, Alexei Lukanin, alteration of the primary project is caused by falling demand in premium class residential property. Only a 36-storey building will remain residential. Euro Towers project (primarily called “Prikamye

Gates”) was initiated back in 2006. The Limited Society Prospect and Africa Israel Investments Ltd. subordinated to Israeli businessman Levi Levaev acted as the project’s developers.

According to the previous project, after the slum resettlement in quarters #4, 5 and 6 (between Popova, Ordzhonikidze, Okulova and Osinskaya Streets)

three one-sectional residential buildings were to be erected: 24-, 36-, and 42-storey giants. The stylobation linking the three buildings together was planned to host a commercial center in business fashion format.

Aggregate investment was expected to reach $256-290 million. The first order estimated square was 150 square meters.

implement it in situation of difficulties on financial market”.

Temporary difficulties should be considered within the tactics not strategy.

Head of branch KES “Oscillation of Ural” Andrey Makarov mentions that he is sure there will be some adjustments in the programme.

Particulary because there is no certainty with “Lookoil” whether they will create their own oscillation or join TGK-9. And Bereznikovsky Soda plant “Sodachlor” can change their plans of improvement.

On the other hand oscillation has to introduce new volumes of capacity according to schedule in the contract. “For us it is economically ineffi-

cient not to introduce them”— explains Mr.Makarov. “It is cheaper to build capacities that will stay for some time rather than not to build at all. In this case we get strict penalty.”

Investment programme “Oscillation of Ural” presupposes investment of !1.62 million. Till 2013, and as a whole set of projects is evaluated for !2.64 million.

The PERMSKY KRAI MUSEUM

Perm Rotundas G

This is one of the few buildings left from the period of Alexander I emperorship. Moreover rotunda owes its existence to this emperor or to be more precise to the visit he made in 1824. The arrival of the royal person who made up his mind to familiarize with the Eastern outskirts of the Empire was an unheard-of occasion for the remote provincial city. Thus the newly appointed governor Cyril Tyufyaev made everything possible in order to present the city and its officials in fine feather. The preparations weren’t limited to street cleaning and housefront painting.

For the first time the regional capital could boast boardwalks, night illumination street lights, police boxes and pompous obelisks depicting the Russian Eagle at the turnpikes of Siberian and Kazan tracts. The townees awed when the city acquired the true attribute of gallant life – a large rotunda was erected among birch alleys behind the country boulevard. Even Karl Moderach, the governor of the past famous for architectural development policy didn’t get down to that!

Rotunda was built as per the design of an outstanding architect, author of the first Russian theoretical work “Guidance to Architecture”, academician Ivan Svizyaev. Luckily at that time he occupied the post of the chief architect in the Urals Board of Governors. He initiated the construction of over 30 buildings in the city of Perm: seminary, governor’s residence, bell tower of the Transfiguration

advertisment

orky Park rotunda holds an outstanding position among architectural symbols of Perm. In the latter years a new tradition of Grandma Rotunda Birthday celebration was conceived.

Besides the age of this architectural construction is quite considerable; this year it is going to celebrate its 174th birthday.

US President is writing a book about Perm City

of the Savior Cathedral, the House of the Noble Assembly. Time, fire and architectural ambitions of the new generations destroyed many of Svizyaev’s projects but the rotunda in the former Country Gardens remained. Besides, it was not a mere reminder of the epochs of the past. In 1829 famous German scientist Alexander Humboldt used it for carrying out of physical experiments; as a result he managed to determine the precise geographical position of Perm: 58 1` 2`` north and 25 56`28`` east. In 1835 a literary exile Alexander Gerzen used to stroll by it in solitude bewailing that “our provincial folk despises platonic amusements”. In 1837 dramatically illuminated rotunda greeted the future Emperor Liberator Alexander II, at that time the Crown Prince of Russian Empire, accompanied by his mentor, famous poet Vasily Zhukovsky who undertook the journey in order to discover the vastness of Russia. In 1905 the old rotunda saw the first political manifestation organized

by Motovilikhinsky Bolshevik labors in the Country Gardens.

Nevertheless, for Perm folk that had appreciated the loveliness of promenades in the park alleys, rotunda became a continuous companion of festivities and summer recreation.

Not everyone knows that our dear rotunda had at least one sister that was built at the same time on the embankment of the Kama River. Rotunda in the Embankment Garden (now it carries the name of Reshetnikov Square) commanding a spectacular view of the boundless Kama forests was a favorite resting place of another famous writer who lived in our city – P.I. Melnikov-Pechersky. Unfortunately, at the end of XIX century Perm historians already spoke of it as of nonexisting. We can only guess where it was located: in the beginning of Gazeta Zvezda Street (former Okhanskaya Street) as it is generally assumed, or in October 25 Street (former Obvinskaya Street) as some of the old city plans indicate and one

of the surviving drawings depicts.

However even those rotundas weren’t the onliest. Since the beginning of XIX century many town people used to have ample country estates. Apart from houses, barns, horse stables, banyas and other household outbuildings the estate frequently had a garden with an alcove. One of the most beautiful mansion rotundas stood in the garden of Perm entrepreneur Nikolai Meshkov. Together with the merchant’s gorgeous mansion in the embankment of the Kama River it constituted a uniform architectural ensemble built upon the project of A.B. Turkevich in 1880s.

Nonetheless, unlike the house, the rotunda didn’t survive.

A presentation of new book written by US President Barak Obama was held in Russia. In the book Obama mentions his trip to Russia 3 years ago when he visited Perm and Saratov.

The book named “The audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American dream” appeared in bookstores of USA in October 2006. During 30 weeks it was on “New York times” list of bestsellers as well as “Los-Angeles Times”, ”Washington Post”, ”San-Francisco Chronicle”.

Presidential contender visited 2 Russian cities together with senator Lugar when they were inspecting utilization of Soviet nuclear charges. Author of the book says that he has the following memories of Russia: shells of old rockets, borsh, vodka and “very suspicious jelled fish.”

Komsomolsky Prospect will be turned into a Sculpture Gallery

According to the Head of Perm City Igor Shubin Perm sculpture artists offered him to create new monument for the city. Remember that the day before a sculpture of a bear in front of Organ Hall was removed.

Igor Shubin is persuaded that Perm needs a sculpture portraying a bear but it should fit better with the surroundings. “We are planning to decide by the end of this year how the monument will look like and where will be placed. Most likely it will be on the Esplanade,“– explains Mr.Shubin.

At the same time small metal and stone sculptures will be placed on Komsomolskaya Square so that it will be turned into original gallery”,— concluded The Head of the City.

On-line Information about Prikamye

20 multimedia on-line Terminals were placed in Permsky Krai which can help citizens and guests to get information about natural and architectural monuments on the territory of Prikamye as well as enquire about health resorts and sanatoriums.

Terminals are a part of Region Principal Programme “tourism development in Permsky Krai (2008-2012)” that was recently adopted

by Legislative Assembly of Permsky Krai. Its mail purpose is an increase of tourist flow and development of tourism as an effective trade of the Region.

Today in the Region we get 427 000 tourists annually and within 2 years it is planned to increase this number by 40%.

Tea capital of the Russian Empire

TEMPLES OF PERM KRAI

Voznesenskaya Feodosievskaya Church O

n of the latest built Churches in Perm is Voznesenskaya Church which means Church of Gods Resurrection. Most of the money for the Church was donated; some amounts from s0.81 to s5.40. Were bequeathed by the Church from citizens.

The city of Perm saw a conference devoted to the entry of Perm region into the international tourist project, the “Great Tea Route”. According to expert opinion, elaboration of the tea tour of Perm territory may thrust forward the development of international tourism around the Kama region.

In actual fact, the “Great Tea Route” project has been developing since 1992 with the assistance of more than 50 organizations from 3 countries of the world: Russia, Mongolia and China. Today, following this longest tour, you can traverse the whole Euro-Asian continent. The Great Tea Route tour, connecting Russia, Mongolia and China, comprises the majority of trade routes by which tea was transported to European, American and African countries. The tour is aimed at the development of the great tourist movement based on the discovery of a historico-cultural national heritage. Therefore tours were created that enabled visits to many sights or to a large part of them during a short trip or a long one. Besides, a tourist may chose a trip out of many suggested possibilities.

On the 14th of July a question about the participation of the region in the international tourism project, the Great Tea Route, was being discussed at the conference. It took place in partnership with representatives of the Perm region administration and tour operators. The idea of participation in it was suggested during the carrying out of the 8th international tourist fair, MITF-2008, that took place in May, in Moscow.

Representatives of Perm tourist business that assisted the conference showed a keen interest in the project’s development and advance and announced their willingness to take part in it.

According to the conference results, experts of the Department for Trade and Entrepreneurship Development, tour operators and travel agencies of Koungur, Solikamsk and Perm are expected to elaborate a project and a tour of tea route running throughout the region. According to the plans, the route will presumable traverse the cities of Koungur, Solikamsk and Perm that beforetime lay on the way of the Great Tea Route. The route is expected to comprise the tea museum, opened in 2007, the monument to the tea merchant Goubkin and other sights.

Perm region negotiators are supposed to participate in the project members’ meeting that will take place in the Baikal region, where the plan of collaboration will be ratified and arrangements for the coordination of the actions of the three countries concerning tourists’ entertainment will be worked out.

The created tour will be posted to the Great Tea Route – the route of trade, culture and tourism web site, and they will start selling it on Russian and foreign markets.

13 of May 1903 Bishop of Perm and Solikamsk issued a charter allowing to start building the Church.

The land for the Church was partially bought and partially donated

by Merchant Alexander Pavlovich Balabanov.

In archives among the documents there are settlement, plan of country estate and certificate for selling.

1904 altar of the Church was already consecrated in the name of Seraphim Sorovsky. 1918 Voznesenskaya Church was one of the biggest Churches in Perm. At that time Church Congregation consisted of 5 households of ecclesias-

tic, 33 — officials, 163 — bourgeois and merchants, 102 — peasants.

The Church had Church council and constantly was held congregation meetings.

Destroying influence on the Church congregation had a split in orthodox doctrine.

A group of believers made a request to City Administration to

register a new church community because” it was impossible to go to Feodosievskaya Church which is now held by a group called “Grigorievtsy”, for the reason of difference in beliefs”.

At the end of 1928 after the inspection of the Church by Administrative Department the building was given to “more trustworthy group of believers”.

In 1929 a group of “Grigorievtsy” had a request to administration to give them back the building but their request was denied.

18 of May 1930 at the meeting of small presidium of Perm Executive Committee a decree was issued to “take the building of Feodosievskaya Church and turn it into hall of residence”.

In the beginning of 30 the building was turned into a bread-baking plant that was put into commission in February 1935. In 1991 Feodosievskaya Church was given back to believers.

LEGENDS of PrikamyE

Golden iron A

t the places where Uls River flows to Vishera River people found ironstone. Some say that even today there is no better cast iron than that was found in that Region.

Many were attracted to those places, one Moscow merchant even built a plant there to get cast iron but not only Russians people started come even from Paris.

They decided to build plants all along Vishera River. They didn’t forget Kutimovsky plant that was started by Moscow merchant; it was also operating and giving new owners good money.

A lo of goods started to be transported by Vishera: bricks and nails, trolleys and inventory.

The biggest plant they were planning to built at the mouth of Vizgaiha River.

But most locals thought that not only iron was attracting foreigners.

Some were saying that those places were rich in gold and this confirms names of the Rivers there Zolotiha, Zolotanka, which means golden rivers.

So in addition to iron

they started extracting gold.

But the problem was that they needed to transport it back to France and Country guards were inspecting every barge and they were not allowed to transport gold. They came up with an idea of making hollow iron cups and hide gold there. On the outside it was iron but if you break it there is gold inside.

But this didn’t solve all the problems. The River didn’t want to give away its wealth. When the water was high and barges were going down the river one after another barges were crashing by the huge stone that were on the sides of the river. Their names were Warrior and Pirate and they were guarding gold in these places. The worst was Pirate stone and a lot of barges were crashed by it.

One barge was crashed by Warrior stone and owners of the barge were asking local citizens to help them to get it out. After that people started talking that they had gold on the barga. Even today if people find old iron cups in those places they brake it hoping that it will have gold.
