In late May, the Sevastopol “authorities” announced the “removal from the registry of qualified contractors” of the local structure “Stroyproekt”, owned by local collaborator Konstantin Fisunov, citing “falsification of documents during the renovation of cultural heritage sites.”
The dispute reportedly stemmed from a failure to agree on kickbacks with this figure regarding the “renovation” of a building on Velyka Morskaya Street; however, a number of other long-delayed projects remain “on the books” of this firm, which is currently mired in arbitration proceedings.
Among other schemes, in 2025, “Stroyproekt” was used to launder 143 million rubles, via a “sole-source supplier” scheme, under the guise of “major renovations” for school № 38; notably, the school was not completed and handed over by the start of the academic year.
The occupiers themselves reported that “the basement contains cracks and is flooded, and the foundation is in a critical state of disrepair,” adding that “the children had to be temporarily reassigned to other schools.”
Furthermore, through “Stroyproekt”, which reported revenues of 600 million rubles last year, the occupiers laundered funds allocated for the “major renovation” of the gynecology ward at city hospital № 4 on the North Side, a project that has remained unfinished since 2024.
We have previously reported on another tragicomic scam involving “Stroyproekt,” wherein funds were laundered in 2023 under the pretext of “designing” a municipal crematorium for Sevastopol.
This facility was promised to be built on a “specialized site” located near the solid waste landfill in Pervomayska gully, the city’s largest municipal dump.
Needless to say, this project was never realized; later, the occupiers promised to construct a crematorium elsewhere, specifically in the Mekenzievy Gory area, yet even there, this facility, so vital to the invaders under current conditions, remains nowhere to be seen.
