Bachin Sergey Viktorovich
October 29, 2018
Sergey Bachin was born on November 18, 1963 in the city of Kovrov (Vladimir region), today he is a successful Russian developer, one of the leading managers of our country, and also the owner of a large number of federal and regional awards for outstanding social and economic achievements. Main areas of activity: public and commercial construction, investments, tourism development and implementation of projects in the field of organic agriculture. Currently, Sergey Viktorovich Bachin is the general director of the modern ski resort Rosa Khutor in Sochi and the owner of the group.
The manager’s biography is replete with innovative achievements for modern Russian society. The name of Sergei Viktorovich in our country is often associated with the national organic manifesto, since it was he who came up with the idea of creating and widespread dissemination of the organic movement in Russia. Focusing on the quality of life of the population, he was directly involved in the development of the regulatory framework within the organic movement, successfully implemented and continues to implement the largest development projects on a regional and federal scale, and actively contributes to the creation of a civilized market for the production and sale of organic products as a worthy alternative to Western analogues .
Bachin’s many years of professional activity rightfully stands as an excellent example of competent top management, as a result of which the agro-industrial sector of the national economy received a new direction for development.
Utopian projects
There are numerous materials on the Internet alleging possible abuses in the implementation of Bachin's projects.[5][6] Thus, on the website kompromat.wiki the material “Sergei Bachin is the king of corruption” is posted.[7] It talks about the following scheme of work: “ announce a super project, collect investments for it, use them for the benefit of your own companies and leave investors with a burdensome asset, or even complete the business, as they say, with a bang.”
“For example, it was announced that a joint Russian-American PS-90P engine with increased service life and thrust would be created based on the PS-90A engine. $150 million was allocated for the project, which was promptly spent in an unknown direction. The miracle engine remained only in the dreams of Perm developers. About the development of the Rosa Khutor resort it is said:
For a loan of 55.7 billion rubles, Sergei Bachin transferred 100% of the shares to VEB, whose assets were valued at half the amount - 21.7 billion rubles. As a result, as media reported, the bank had to restructure the Olympic loans with a 25-year extension. But experts believe that even after a quarter of a century, VEB is unlikely to receive even a penny from Rosa Khutor.
Another “utopian” project in which VEB was involved is the Bolshoye Zavidovo village. In the Tver region, on the shores of the Moscow Sea, the construction of low-rise elite neighborhoods was started. Plans called for the project to be completed by 2028. As noted in the material, since tourists do not go to the Tver region very willingly, the project may become unprofitable. As a result:
The businessman has already transferred 40% of the shares of the half-empty RadissonZavidovo hotel to VEB to repay a loan of 3.37 billion rubles.
It also talks about an attempt by Roza Vetrov - Operator LLC to seize the territory of the Istra forestry area with an area of 4.8 thousand m², which was protested by the Forestry Committee of the Moscow Region in court. A similar incident occurred in the Yaroslavl region:
Agrofirm Russia LLC entered into an agreement with the administration of the Uglich region for the purchase of land plots with a total area of 16.7 thousand m². After this, it turned out that the plots belonged to the lands of the state forest fund, and, at the request of the regional prosecutor, the court ordered their return to federal ownership.
A number of details are available in the material “Bachin Sergey Viktorovich: myths and reality of eco-corruption” on the website chel.pro.[8]
Education and foreign career
After brilliantly graduating from the physics department of one of the best universities in our country (MSU), Sergei Viktorovich decided to follow the path of a research career, becoming a researcher at the Vernadsky Geochemical Institute. Bachin always gravitated towards science, because he was distinguished by a special, comprehensively developed way of thinking. A scientific worldview is the key to many doors, since such a way of thinking significantly expands horizons and prospects. The acquired experience in research activities subsequently came in handy in solving development issues, but more on that later.
After some time, Sergei Viktorovich makes one of the most important decisions in his life: he decides to supplement his already impressive knowledge base with financial education. To do this, Bachin again returned to his student's bench, but this time the American University of Hardford was chosen, since American business education is generally considered a serious platform for successful financial management.
Studying and further work in the USA made a huge contribution to the development of Bachin’s business skills, since the years spent in America gave him truly invaluable management, development and financial experience. Sergei Viktorovich received the highest qualification of Master of Business Administration, and then an extremely profitable offer to cooperate with Pratt&Whitney. At that time, this company was considered a major financial and industrial player in the American market. Receiving an invitation to work from such a bright business representative meant the highest assessment of Bachin’s management abilities.
Education
Sergey Bachin was born on November 18, 1963 in the Vladimir region, Kovrov. After graduating from school, the future businessman entered the Faculty of Physics of Moscow State University and successfully graduated in 1987. The knowledge gained became the basis for a future start and a successful career. Then an ordinary graduate of a capital university got a job at the Institute named after. Vernadsky to the position of junior researcher, where he received his first work experience.
A few years later, Sergei Viktorovich left for the USA, where he lived, studied and worked from 1992 to 1998. He graduated from the University of Hartford, where he received deep knowledge in the field of business management. After graduating from the university, Bachin received an international certificate, which confirmed his qualifications and deep knowledge in the field of management and management.
Development activities in Russia
The acquired foreign experience in business administration inspired Bachin to come up with numerous ideas for developing the business sector of the economy in our country. Sergei Viktorovich, inspired by American knowledge and experience, returns to Russia and actively takes up development activities as the manager of a subsidiary of Interros. This was undoubtedly a very bright period in the life of the company, since under Bachin’s leadership an impressive number of various construction projects on a private and public scale were implemented.
Continuing his professional path, Bachin sits in the chair of the general director of another development company. Sergei Viktorovich once again demonstrates his impeccable business skills, including the investment industry and top management.
Bachin begins to implement the most important development projects as general director. In this role, Sergei Viktorovich makes a huge contribution to the 2014 Winter Olympics, since ProfEstate was directly involved in the construction of Olympic residential and sports facilities. Bachin is still involved in the administration of the Rosa Khutor resort and the parallel development of numerous tourism projects within the framework of domestic tourism.
Sergei Viktorovich, being a true patriot of our country, especially distinguished himself in the context of the development of the national market of organic products. Realizing the benefits of organic agricultural products, Bachin made serious efforts to create and implement the idea of the organic movement. According to the manager, for the successful development of the economy and agro-industrial complex of our country, traditional agriculture must be replaced by organic farming.
Development projects
In 2003, Bachin left his position at Interros and became president. Here he showed himself as a successful investor with a professional “feeling”, capable of quickly making decisions and increasing capital. Bachin made his company a leader among developers in the Moscow region. He has something to be proud of: under his leadership, large-scale projects were implemented, thousands of square meters of housing were built, including not only premium apartments, but also standard budget options.
Sergey Bachin has successfully implemented many projects in the development market
In 2010, Bachin became CEO of the Group, within the framework of which he implements important government projects that determined his future activities. under his leadership, it was engaged in the construction of sports complexes and residential infrastructure intended for the Sochi Olympics.
Among the facilities that the company has built are a health center in Sochi, the campus of the International Olympians University of the Russian Federation, Olympic village complexes and many others. Sergei Bachin’s significant contribution to the preparations for the Olympic Games in Sochi was also noted by government authorities - he was awarded the medal of the Government of the Russian Federation “XXII Olympic Winter Games in Sochi”.

Sergei Viktorovich took an active part in the development of the region’s tourism sector. This is not only about managing the Rosa Khutor resort, which is being implemented as part of government programs; Bachin organizes concert tours in the regions.
Book “Organics. Myths and reality"
In 2020, the Eksmo publishing house, with the participation of the KhlebSol magazine, published a book by businessman Sergei Bachin, who has been selflessly developing organic agriculture in the Yaroslavl region for the last ten years, “Organics. Myths and reality".
The book consists of seven chapters that explain what organics are and give a brief excursion into the history of the organic movement, while the history of industrial-chemical (as the author calls traditional agricultural practices) agriculture is presented as a global experiment with sad consequences for nature.
Next, the author breaks down the myths about organics, presents organic products as a healthy alternative and compares two business models: traditional and organic, noting that each has the right to exist. The Russian Organic Manifesto closes the main part. The book also includes a glossary, a fairly short (19 pieces) bibliography, and two parts “from the author”: a preface and an afterword.
The book can be purchased at Labirint and ChitayGorod stores. Brief excerpts from the chapters are available on the businessman’s blog on LiveJournal.
Development of Russian tourism
It should be noted that the entrepreneur focused on the development of domestic sites in the field of agricultural tourism. One of the first projects was “Yaroslavl Seaside”. Of course, there were critics who predicted the failure of the project, but practice and time have proven its effectiveness. A fairly large base was also organized on the shore of the Rybinsk Reservoir. In the Tver region there is a project “Zavidovo” with a golf course, parks, recreation areas, spa salons and comfortable hotels.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that a talented person, as we know, successfully manifests himself in a variety of directions. For example, Sergei Bachin published a book called “Organics. Myths and reality". It primarily addresses the issues of producing healthy and nutritious food products.
For his activities S.V. Bachin was awarded many state and public awards, both from the government and on behalf of the Orthodox Church.
Quotes
There are three factors that determine the development of tourism - the uniqueness of the place, the existing tourist flow or significant investment. It doesn't work any other way. Several key points came together in Sochi. The current flow of tourists is the main summer health resort for Russians. Wonderful nature and climate.
When you don’t touch on something, rejection occurs, or as they say in English “denial” - you don’t want to touch on this topic, you keep silent about it. But if you have learned and realized something, then after that it is impossible to pretend that nothing is happening. You start thinking about it constantly.
Such a large-scale project as Zavidovo can only be developed in cooperation with the administration of the Tver region and Rostourism. Everyone has their own role. We create tourist sites, accommodation facilities, the state creates infrastructure. And this is another infrastructure step into the future.
We are always told that the best use for money is the one that gives a greater return on investment. Why should I always be guided by the rule of maximizing profit on invested money? I want to create an environment where my children and I can live a quality life, including quality food. I am absolutely comfortable with my decision.
If we take as a basis the development of most European resorts of this size (like Rosa Khutor, editor's note), then they have a history of 60 years, maybe more. For us, in order to reach the modern attractive level, we would have to work the same amount, but certainly not less.
Organic is nothing more than products that do not contain a drop of chemicals and fertilizers, antibiotics and growth stimulants; GMOs cannot be found in them. The fact is that a special way of growing products is a kind of philosophy that shows respect for nature, the animal and plant world, and oneself.
I believe that the Zavidovo project has become the most outstanding project in the Greater Moscow Region. I am not aware of projects of the same level in the Moscow region. So the Tver region has already taken the lead in the competition, and I think the gap will only increase in the coming years. Especially considering our plans: the development of a transport hub, a river port, a railway line, the construction of new hotels and a water park. The situation is developing dynamically. The opening of the bridge and road is another step towards success.
By and large, we rely on domestic vacationers for 90-95 percent. At the same time, we don’t mind at all if people who want to ride from abroad come to us. I must assure you that nowadays Russian tourists are more solvent than Western ones, therefore we are more interested in them.
Now in Russia there is a methodology for the development of internal and external tourism in Russia. First of all, this is a general mood, a specific federal target program for the development of tourism, which has been successfully implemented for several years. This is a systematic program that allows you to plan long ahead. The first step is rough setup. But then we all have to move on to fine tuning. It is important that every tourist who comes to a specific point in our country has an interesting, rich and non-standard program of stay. Small tourism projects around large ones can give us this. Supporting small tourism businesses is a necessary and pressing task
Labor path
For the first time, Bachin managed to try himself as a developer in the late 90s, taking the position of manager in one of the branches of the Interros holding, owned by Vladimir Potanin. Being in the structure of this company, Sergey Viktorovich pays special attention to the development and launch of large-scale projects in the field of commercial and government orders. The painstaking work bears fruit, and after 5 years the entrepreneur takes the post of general director. Bachin manages to establish himself as a purposeful and responsible manager, capable of promptly making effective decisions.
Special mention should be made about the activities of Sergei Viktorovich as the group’s general director. Having taken office in 2010, the entrepreneur devoted the next 4 years to the most significant state-building projects for his career. It was at this time that ProfEstate was engaged in the construction of a modern sports complex and residential facilities planned for the opening of the Olympics in Sochi. Among the main objects are the university campus, the Sochi health complex, the luxurious Rosa Khutor buildings, hotels and other buildings of the Olympic village. Subsequently, for active participation in the audit of Olympic venues, Sergei Viktorovich will be awarded a government award.

- An elite resort with a total area of more than a thousand hectares, Bolshoye Zavidovo, is being created in the Tver region. It includes a hotel and sports and entertainment complex, a recreation park, a golf course, a yacht club and a sailing school for children. More than 10 billion non-budgetary funds have been invested in the facility, with Bachin being the main investor.

While engaged in the development of tourist facilities, Bachin began to think about organizing meals for tourists and, in general, for everyone who cares about their own health. After all, only organic products are safe, that is, grains, vegetables and fruits grown without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, meat from animals raised on free grazing, without hormones and antibiotics.
Attention! The benefits of organic products and the prospects for their creation in Russia are described in an accessible form in Bachin’s book “Organics. Myths and reality".
But Sergei Bachin switched to theory only in 2020, and in 2007 he founded the AgriVolga agricultural holding, which supplies meat, sausages, dairy products, in particular cheese, to the Russian market. Now the holding is part of the Agranta conglomerate. Simultaneously with the creation of AgriVolga, the entrepreneur organized the National Organic Union, of which he is the honorary head today.
Sergey is the author of books about organic products
For his contribution to the construction of significant objects, Sergei Viktorovich was awarded a number of state awards, including an order, a medal, a letter of gratitude and a badge, as well as a church order for assistance in the construction of the Radonezh Temple.
