Financial news: Facts of illegal use of insider information in transactions with shares of PJSC Ashinsky Metallurgical Plant have been established (08/14/2025)

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

During the inspection, the Bank of Russia established facts of illegal use of insider information by Mikhail Vladimirovich Papkin when conducting transactions with ordinary shares of PJSC Ashinsky Metallurgical Plant (hereinafter referred to as the Shares, the Company).

On 12.08.2024, the decision of the Board of Directors of the Company to recommend to the General Meeting of Shareholders the payment of dividends in the amount of 77 rubles per Share from the net profit received based on the results of the first half of 2024 and the retained earnings of previous years was published on the website of the Central Research and Development Company 1 of the Interfax agency. This information was insider information of the Company.

Considering that dividends on the Shares had not been paid for over 20 years, this news provoked a sharp increase in the value of the Shares, in connection with which a discrete auction was held on the Shares on 12.08.2024.

Papkin M.V., being an insider and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, participated in a meeting of the Board of Directors on 09.08.2024, at which issues of convening an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and the amount of dividends were considered. On the day of the meeting, he made a series of transactions to purchase Shares. After the disclosure of insider information on the decision to recommend the payment of dividends on 12.08.2024, Papkin M.V. made a series of transactions from 13.08.2024 to 19.08.2024 to sell the acquired volume of Shares at a price significantly exceeding the purchase price, making a profit.

Thus, it was established that Papkin M.V. unlawfully used the Company’s insider information, in connection with which his actions were qualified by the Bank of Russia as a violation of the prohibition established by paragraph 1 of part 1 of article 6 of Federal Law No. 224-FZ.

Papkin M.V. was brought to administrative responsibility for the illegal use of insider information, and he was given an order to prevent similar violations in the future.

In addition, the Bank of Russia sent instructions to professional participants in the securities market and trade organizers to suspend operations on the brokerage accounts of M.V. Papkin.

The Bank of Russia draws attention to the inadmissibility of the unlawful use of insider information when making transactions by insiders of the issuer, as well as the need for issuers and other legal entities specified in Part 1 of Article 11 of Federal Law No. 224-FZ to properly fulfill their obligations in terms of taking measures to prevent, identify and suppress the unlawful use of insider information, including ensuring its protection and confidentiality.

Dmitry Chernyshenko: The number of industrial partners of student design bureaus has doubled in a year

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – Government of the Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

529 student design bureaus (SDB), located in 78 regions of Russia, were able to attract more than a thousand industrial companies to joint activities in 2024 – this is twice as much as the year before.

The work of the SKB is aimed at developing students' design and construction skills, and allows team members to engage in scientific research and development, noted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

"On the instructions of President Vladimir Putin, a system of student design bureaus is being created in our country. It helps involve young people in the development of new technologies and products, and also helps improve the quality of engineering education. We see the active development of this system: in 2022, there were 58 SKBs operating in Russia, and today there are already 529. Over the past year, the number of industrial partners for student design bureaus has doubled," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

He added that large Russian companies, including Rosatom State Corporation, Rostec State Corporation, Gazprom PJSC, Sberbank PJSC, and Russian Railways OJSC, are actively participating in the work of the SKB.

The activities of student design bureaus correspond to the priority areas of scientific and technological development of the country, noted the head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov.

"The most popular areas of activity in student design bureaus right now are information and additive technologies, robotics and biotechnology. In total, more than 83 thousand students, postgraduates, teachers, young scientists are involved in the SKB, and all of them, united by a keen interest in engineering activities, contribute to our country's achievement of technological leadership," said Valery Falkov.

The top five regions in terms of the number of student design bureaus were Moscow (66), Bashkortostan (30), St. Petersburg (29), Novosibirsk (25) and Tomsk (21) regions.

The top five universities by the number of SKBs included Orenburg State University (20), Ufa University of Science and Technology (16), Chuvashia State University named after I.N. Ulyanov (13), and Southern Federal University (11). Fifth place was shared between Novosibirsk State Technical University, Rybinsk State Aviation Technical University, and Samara National Research University named after Academician S.P. Korolev – each of them has nine bureaus.

It should be noted that SKB carries out a lot of work on career guidance for schoolchildren. Open days, excursions, meetings with young engineers, specialized master classes and competitions are held for the children – all this is aimed at involving schoolchildren in engineering creativity.

Let us recall that in April of this year, the winners of the first student bureau competition were announced: 15 universities received subsidies for the creation and development of their SKB.
