2024: Arrest at the suit of the Prosecutor General's Office

On May 14, 2024, the Gelendzhik City Court, at the suit of the Prosecutor General's Office, arrested the Lazurevy Bereg sanatorium, one of the oldest in the region. Interim measures have been introduced in relation to several structures related to the boarding house.

Sanatorium "Azurev Bereg," specializing in children's and family vacations, has been operating since 1956. It is located on the Black Sea on Tourist Street in Gelendzhik near the resort embankment. The boarding house covers an area of ​ ​ 15.9 hectares, and the total area of ​ ​ the buildings is 14.9 thousand square meters. The facility is on municipal property leased for a long term lease. The boarding house includes seven sleeping buildings for 1328 places of simultaneous stay.

According to RBC, the plaintiff in the framework of the case is the first deputy prosecutor general of Russia. Among the defendants are Gavriel Aminov, Zhirair Levanyan and Olga Sukhanova, the Gelendzhik administration, as well as three legal entities - Boarding House with Treatment Azurevy Bereg, Trio and Orpola LLC. On the balance sheet of the first of these organizations is the land plot of the sanatorium. In addition, this company owns the rights to lease the territory with a total area of ​ ​ 0.3 hectares, where the beach is located, as well as 0.6 hectares, on which it is planned to place a "general tourist boulevard with leisure and catering facilities." The introduction of interim measures for defendants will mean that it is impossible to carry out any actions with the property in respect of which they were taken.

What exactly the proceedings are connected with is not clear as of the end of May 2024. But it is noted that there is a shortage of hotels in Gelendzhik, and the site in the prestigious resort area has high market potential. Moreover, on Tourist Street at the same address as the boarding house, there is also a children's sanatorium and health camp "Azurevy Bereg." In addition to residential buildings, it includes a swimming pool, a football field, basketball and volleyball courts, as well as its own beach.^[1]
