several companies operating in the light industry (Roskhim, Roteks 66, etc.).

In 1998, Ruslan Goryukhin, together with his partners, became the founder of the “Northern Gas
Highways”. This organization collaborated with Gazprom and worked on large-scale projects
related to the laying of gas pipelines.

Realizing the need for high-quality logistics in this area of activity, Ruslan created a logistics
group that was working with suppliers of raw materials, Gazprom, Rosneft, Tatneft and other
large companies. These were the highest quality logistics services since they cooperated with
reliable manufacturers only.

No wonder, in the spring of 2008, Goryukhin was appointed CEO of Stroygazmontazh (SGM).
The company needed a leader and organizer with such experience and recognition. Thus, he
received leadership over a number of construction companies that are part of the SGM. Each of
these is considered one of the leading companies in the oil and gas economic sector of Russia.

As the head of the SGM Ruslan Goryukhin was able to conclude several profitable
contracts, thanks to which the company received huge profits. He had been working in this
company for 6 years.

estate in Moscow. Just at that time, there was an acute shortage of high-quality commercial real
estate, and its market value was growing. Thus, it was possible to obtain large rental income.
