“By a judicial act of December 11, 2020, the requirements of the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia were satisfied, this decision on March 1, 2021 was upheld by the Eighteenth Arbitration Court of Appeal.
At present, the decision has been executed, the designated shares have been transferred to the personal account of the Federal Property Management Agency, ”RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
On August 3, 2020, protests took place near Mount Kushtau in Bashkiria after the Bashkir Soda Company began deforestation on the mountain for exploration.
After that, it was decided to give the mountain (shikhan) Kushtau the status of a specially protected area.
The development of the mountain was further stopped.
Subsequently, Russian President Vladimir Putin commented on the situation with the Bashkir Soda Company.
He drew attention to the fact that "the controlling stake there belongs to private individuals," and the money earned by the company is practically not invested in development and does not remain in the region.
According to him, at the beginning of 2013 “in an absolutely miraculous way - through the merger of the company - the state's share is diluted and reduced below the control” - from 62% to 38%.
Putin instructed the prosecutor's office to verify the legality of the transaction, as a result of which the state lost control over the company's assets.
