Metrostroy (sports complex)

History

2025: Nationalization

At the end of December 2025, the Petrograd District Court of St. Petersburg turned into state revenue a sports complex previously owned by the former heads of Metrostroy Vadim Alexandrov and his son Nikolai Alexandrov. The cost of the facility exceeds 5.3 billion rubles.

According to the Kommersant newspaper, Metrostroy (created on the basis of Lenmetrostroy) in the period from 1993 to 2021 was the only organization in St. Petersburg that carried out the construction and reconstruction of metro facilities. In September 2011, Alexandrov Jr. signed an investment agreement with the general director of Metroparking LLC Aydar Ermakov, according to which this company pledged to build a sports club on the site owned by Metrostroy.

As the prosecutor's office established, the management of Metrostroy invested more than 1 billion rubles in the construction of the sports complex, which were allocated by the city for the development of the St. Petersburg metro. At the same time, the object completely became the property of Metroparking, which did not invest in its creation.

The claim for the appeal to the state of three premises of the sports complex as property obtained by corruption was filed in September 2025 against Vadim and Nikolai Alexandrov, Metrostroy OJSC and Metroparking LLC. By a court decision, non-residential buildings were nationalized at 11/7 Levashovsky Prospekt, buildings 4, 5 and 6. Earlier, the court seized all movable and immovable property owned by Alexandrov, including vehicles, self-propelled vehicles, other types of equipment, aircraft and water vessels, intellectual property, shares, shares in the authorized capital of commercial organizations, etc. The defendants are prohibited from opening new bank accounts, they are temporarily restricted from traveling outside the Russian Federation.^[1]
