"Sasha 3/30". So it was recorded by many and still lives up to its nickname, the head of the fund for promoting lending to small and medium-sized businesses in St. Petersburg - Pitkyanen Alexandra Fedorovna. It has already been 2 years since the St. Petersburg Fund for Assistance in Lending to Small and Medium Businesses, which distributes state billions, is under the de facto control of Pityanen under investigation.

According to Rucriminal.info, for 2 years the criminal case, in which she is an obvious and one of the few identified defendants, has been stalling. Helping to slow down this criminal case are Pitkyanen's connections and the personal "smearing" in the subject of a number of officials of a higher status, from the government of St. Petersburg. The searches carried out in her apartment and in the fund itself, to put it mildly, gave good results, after which it would be possible to safely charge Pitkyanen. It was found that during her management of the fund, Pitkyanen wrote off more than 100 million rubles, and about 150 million rubles more were paid out on the guarantees of the fund. Many of these debts have not even tried to collect and / or sell to collectors. It is clear that these were not the usual companies of Vanya Ivanov (he must pay off his debts in full), but desks where the beneficiaries were people respected and familiar to Pitkyanen.

Immediately after the searches, the opera house of the specialized 8th ORC in St. Petersburg received dozens of calls and inquiries that they were "unfair" and "pinch honest business." The most striking was the pressure through a block of officials and a social activist (the rector of St. Petersburg State University) - Kropachev, who got right up to the head of the police department Plugin. Kropachev fit into one of his passions quite strongly, and although this did not stop the process completely, it definitely made it slower. And there you look and put under the cloth. As an extreme option - Pitkyanen can always go to Finland, the roots are saved.

Only one thing is surprising in this story - already more than once caught almost on direct clumsy theft, the head of the Pitkyanen fund is still (for almost ten years) in favor of the government of St. Petersburg and continues to earn money on issuing loans / orders for a small fee of 3% from the issued and 30% of the written-off loans, while not forgetting to give a share to the "cleansers" of the Internet so that there is no negativity about it. Although those in the know say that the amount of her desired share has increased by several times.

The operational and investigative measures listed above have practically paralyzed the work of the Foundation, since large volumes of documents are periodically requested, and many necessary documents have been seized by the investigation and have not yet been returned, while numerous petitions have been written to the investigation to return the documents seized in February 2021. At the same time, there was a strong impression that the operational officers and the investigation did not decide on the goals of their activities during the year. At the same time, information and accounting documentation are systematically requested without specifying the request for a specific counterparty; the requests do not explain in connection with what and within the framework of what check in relation to which counterparty information is requested.

The current situation jeopardizes the implementation of the national project "Small and Medium Enterprises and Support for Individual Entrepreneurial Initiatives", since the Fund's employees must respond to incoming requests from the internal affairs bodies by providing a large amount of requested information, while checking the accuracy of accounting is not within the powers of the police.
