Firm Information

• Kosna G.N. is the head of the firm MAM-1.
• The address for this firm is 17 Shokalsky Passage, and the phone number is 928-81-72.

Firms on Shokalsky Passage

• The phone numbers of both firms on Shokalsky Passage (one connected voluntarily or involuntarily with Gochiyayev, the other clearly connected with Lazovsky) are listed at the same address: 3 Furkasovsky Lane — opposite the main FSB building.
• Both phone numbers belong to the same NPO "Priroda".
• The founder of this NPO is AOOT "Nekson", whose founder is listed as Ekaterina Markovna Bykhovskaya, who actually lives or lived in the same house as Maxim Lazovsky's wife.

From the advertisement of NPO "Priroda":
* Large building No. 2 is the main FSB building (entrance from the lane).

Legal Addresses and Phone Numbers

• The legal address of a firm can be anything (it is assumed that any businessman can, like Tatyana Koroleva, squeeze several of his firms into the FSB building complex).
• However, the phone number remains a real connection with the firm—at least for tax and other inspections.
• Calling "Priroda" might result in the response: "Max is having lunch, Achemez has gone to the site, call back in an hour."

Resolving Doubts about Tatyana Koroleva

• The doubts of the "Novaya Gazeta" editorial board regarding Koroleva's identity are resolved simply.
• Syun in "Kommersant" wrote about 26-year-old Tatyana Koroleva, who came from Volgograd.
• Inquiries about the firms listed by Felshtinsky reveal:
  • The Tatyana Koroleva who founded them is registered in the Volgograd region.
  • She received her passport in January 1989.
• In Soviet times, passports were issued at age 16. If this is the "full namesake" of the Tatyana sought, she is also the same age and from the same area.

Checking Business Registrations

• Anyone with 300 rubles can check the Moscow Registration Chamber database via the internet or on the street.
• Some of these disks may have been produced without a license, but if all unlicensed software (including Windows) were erased throughout Russia, the country would soon resemble North Korea, and the next US anti-terrorist action would be Operation "Storm in the Taiga."
• Last year, after a leak of the Moscow Registration Chamber database, the function of accounting for registered firms was transferred from the chamber to the tax service.
• Consequently, only information up to 2002 inclusive is available, making any control over this sphere, similar to the one conducted, impossible.

Koroleva's Firm Founding

• In December 1999 and January 2000, Koroleva founded 18 firms in her own and other names.
• The latest firm, "Remservismontazh," was founded in June 2000.

Business Registration Practices

• This type of business is familiar from women near the metro with signs depicting a crosshair, offering quick liquidation of firms and the sale of new ones: "Upon request, re-registration to your founders can be performed...".
• If there is no such desire, the firm remains registered in someone else's name.
• A "Novaya Gazeta" correspondent recently described how difficult it is to register an enterprise for real. Young businessmen who tried were refused after long ordeals and monetary expenses because a firm's address cannot be a home address.
• Wandering through the lists of firms reveals:
  • Many are listed at the same address.
  • For example, in a small house number 23 on Vorontsovskaya Street last year, more than three thousand firms were listed, although there are only two signs above the door.
  • At building 17 on Shokalsky Passage, 670 firms are listed.
• Another discovery was made:
