As Izvestia has discovered , since late 2014, the owners of Ukrainian sanatoriums subject to nationalization have been attempting to reclaim their properties through Russian arbitration courts. Some companies, directly or through shell companies, are attempting to prove to the court that they have rights to the properties. Other Ukrainian firms are reopening cases in the Crimean arbitration court, initiated before Crimea's annexation by the Ukrainian prosecutor's office, challenging privatization, so that the judge will recognize the disputed property as the property of Ukraine or the plaintiff.
For example, a certain private joint-stock company “Medical and Health Complex “Aivazovskoe” first applied to the demand to review the nationalization of the Aivazovskoye complex (owned by Ukrainian businessman Sergei Taruta and his brother Alexander), which is not far from Alushta and was transferred to the use of the administrative offices of the President of the Russian Federation in November. .
The nationalization of the Massandra boarding house (owned by Igor Kolomoisky, nationalized in September 2014), located in Yalta, is also disputed. LLC “Boarding House “Massandra” filed a lawsuit demanding to cancel the decision on nationalization on the grounds that in fact the boarding house belongs to a third party. As indicated in the case materials, according to the LLC, the owner of the building on the street. Drazhinsky, 46, in Yalta (the boarding house is located at this address) is Nemnaya Dina Sergeevna, who simply transferred it under a property lease agreement to the temporary management of Massandra Boarding House LLC. The Arbitration Court of the Republic of Crimea has not yet made a decision on this case.
In addition, the Ukrainian company Atomprofzdravnitsa demands that the departmental sanatorium Gorny be given to it. The sanatorium located in Livadia, as indicated in the case materials, belonged through Atomprofzdravnitsa to the state trade union of nuclear energy and industry workers of Ukraine, and was used, among other things, for the treatment and rehabilitation of nuclear energy workers. In March 2014, the sanatorium was nationalized along with other health resorts that were previously state property of Ukraine. “Atomprofzdravnitsa” insists on the return of the sanatorium, stating that 60% of its shares were transferred from the ownership of the state trade union to the ownership of certain individuals.
Ultimately, everything depends on political will, say Russian lawyers. The court can make any decision. They may simply return the documents and refuse to consider the case. After the first refusal in the case is issued, activity will subside, they believe.
