The situation around AvtoVAZ is now less than ever encouraging. There is nothing to rejoice in the first place, the staff of the Togliatti plant, which in August has once again suspended its work. And in September there is expected to reduce the workweek to 20 hours and are preparing to mass layoffs. Official communications management of AvtoVAZ refute the information that is privately was confirmed from other sources: in the near future get a reduction of more than 27 000 employees Togliatti enterprise. And, as they say the Russian media, layoffs will occur "with the tacit consent of the governor of the Samara region, Vladimir Artyakov, which, in turn, has expressed concern about potential tensions in the labor market in the city of Togliatti. "I appreciate the current situation in Togliatti as extremely unsatisfactory. In August, the conveyor stops, since September reduced working week. And probably we will be faced with a situation layoffs not only the factory, AvtoVAZ, but including subcontractors "- the words quoted Samara Governor RIA Novosti. There is something to be worried, as is threatened social stability of the whole region, not ready to provide jobs for a number of employees. Even before the August idle factory workers toiled for undercut wages, the size of which barely reached 8000 rubles, and the reduction in the workweek, which is scheduled to happen in September, this amount is reduced by half. How can you live on that kind of money - the question is very, very rhetorically. In addition, AvtoVAZ is the main business of Togliatti in the region, the plant, which employs not only more than a hundred thousand workers, but which is related functioning component manufacturers. Collapse AvtoVAZ, will go "around the world, and subcontractors. But where to go the whole mass of laid-off employees, if not to the Labour Exchange of Togliatti, where the demand for work several times higher than offers from employers? Thus, hundreds of thousands of people and their families will remain destitute just on the verge of another round of crisis that the country is projected this fall. That such disturbing thoughts in my head, with the slogan "Give us the nationalization," "Down with incompetent managers", "We want workers' control", "No cuts in the WHA," at a rally in Togliatti on Aug. 6 came out more than 5000 people. Protesters have accused the management of AvtoVAZ in the conscious bringing the plant to the features of bankruptcy, creating shortages of their products in salons car dealers. They say it makes it all that, pointing to the fact that glut, to cuts and production, and workers. Thus, according to protesters, management Togliatti plant consciously brings his failure to "to dance on the bones" brought to the collapse of the city-forming enterprise, and "make hay" at his death. In this situation, it seems to nationalization as the only way to save the factory and saving the city. " This opinion was gathered at the rally expressed the representative of the Interregional Trade Union of Auto Workers Andrew Lyapin. Togliatti auto giant's position is really disappointing: in the first half of 2009 the company lost 44% of the volume of its sales. According to the European Business Association, sales of Lada models fell by 44% loss for the period exceeded 14 billion rubles, the company earnings fell by half and accounted for 40 billion rubles. In this case, loans and credits AvtoVAZ increased by 33,5% (from 39.6 billion rubles to 52.9 billion rubles). Indebtedness of the enterprise to suppliers remains critical and is 24.7 billion rubley.Takie data leads Kommersant. The state has long been directly and indirectly, helps vase. Moreover, the population of the country, as well as experts can not help but wonder: why the government is trying so desperately to save the non-state company, "vbuhivaet in her multi-billion dollar amount, but in the end Russia and has a really high quality, competitive automotive product? Anybody in general controls the disbursement of funds managers AvtoVAZ? Because according to the simple everyday logic, responsible for the ineffective functioning of the company are in the first place, not its employees and executives. Is it not better to try another way to solve the problem: just change the company's management and the company? But even in this scenario there is no guarantee that the place of the dismissed management will come non-corrupt and wise managers. In a crisis, the state has already done a lot for AvtoVAZ, starting with increasing duties on imported cars, to the provision of subsidies to the program of preferential car loans for buying cars at a cost of over 350 000. The list of such preferential machines, as you know, nicely fit the entire range of Togliatti automaker. Another measure of support for Russia's auto giant has been providing 25-billion-dollar interest-free indefinite loan. The money that the government has allocated as a material contribution Rostechnologii with the fact that this company provided AvtoVAZ-free loan, should create a great benefit. According to Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, such financial Support Togliatti automaker gave the opportunity not only to cover current needs, but also begin to expand their production. Unambiguously in this case hinted that AvtoVAZ can count on additional gosvlivaniya. ".. This was already pledged by 98 billion rubles for investment in new modern facilities to AvtoVAZ began producing new cars can compete with world samples", - Kudrin said. By early August, "AvtoVAZ" is almost entirely spent 25 billion rubles allocated from the national budget, and provided a report. As to be expected, most of the money (14.02 billion rubles) went to pay debts to suppliers, has 8.04 billion rubles, the company's management has spent the commitments on loans from Sberbank and VTB, 6.17 billion rubles automaker paid to the contractors. And only 1.63 and 0.2 billion rubles was spent on wages and, consequently, taxes. And how many vazovskih top managers spend on the development of production, how much money has gone out "to AvtoVAZ began producing new cars can compete with world samples? Meanwhile, government loan company has been fully mastered, and soon management will require billions more to ensure the operation of the enterprise and employment to hundreds of thousands of workers. We all remember how the Prime Minister Putin said that the 25 billion rubles - the last aid Togliatti automaker, which in the next four years, the state no longer "will give your hands." However, now we have begun to reshape the Russian Ministry of 11.5 billion rubles of budget, designed to help automakers this year. The size of the financing program of preferential loans will be reduced from 2 to 1 billion rubles, the program will support the leasing companies will shrink by 0.5 billion rubles. Obtained as a result of these cost money to send to the increase in subsidies (up to 8.5 billion rubles) for the Russian automobile manufacturer-exporters. And like a fairy tale, a list of those headed by company AvtoVAZ. The next stage of development of the main Russian automaker is very sad, especially given the fact that the car industry in the economy as a whole can and should be profitable and efficient working industry. Togliatti plant due to its managers for decades, "pililo females, on which sat". The quality of production, expanding the range and other signs of development here really no one thought. As a result, we have what we deserve: a plant on the verge of bankruptcy, the workers' right to swing ", the government allocates new funds. Under the threat of strategic enterprises, social peace in the region, and in general almost the entire industry. Modernize the company and the plant - a measure in which you want to or not, but will have to cut the working staff, may not be in an amount of 27 000 people, but still. "Shake up" all the production facilities and attract new technologies are also possible, but this problem will require a tremendous cost and time, which for the Russian automobile industry have expired yesterday. And not the fact that after so desired working AvtoVAZ nationalization of the company will work well. Especially, why Russian taxpayers' sweat and pay frankly substandard "VAZ" production? Another thing - to ensure strict control of spending of aid, which is long overdue to direct the development of product quality, and not to service debt accumulated by officers of companies. Up, which is rapidly nearing AvtoVAZ is bankruptcy and subsequent restructuring. Those measures, which are usually "heals" the company. But this usually happens abroad, but in the context of Russian economic and political reality of this effect is no guarantee the recovery can not. Recently it became known that Russia will form a new holding company car - RosAuto. It is created on the basis of "AvtoVAZ" (to be made 25% of assets) and KAMAZ (38,8%), as well as plant Avtodiesel (30%). And as said Ashot Harutyunyan, marketing director of OAO KAMAZ, on 26 August at the opening of Salon INTERAUTO press conference, an event "does not mean the union of two companies, and the formation of the new holding company, which will manage the three companies . In this case, "state corporation Russian Technologies plans to introduce packages of shares that belong to her, in this holding. Lead the new structure will be the head of KamAZ Sergey Kogogin, the board of directors headed by the head of state corporation Russian Technologies Chemezov. Simultaneously, the media reported that the president of the AvtoVAZ, Boris Aleshin, has resigned. Does not specify, however, whether he himself or his left "are gone." Officially, the resignation of Aleshin not associated with the current situation at the Togliatti plant. However, to deny that in connection with the care and education of the new holding at AvtoVAZ will begin the process of leadership change, which likely will last as long as possible, analysts did not. And this process is "unlikely to benefit", commented an analyst at IFC Metropol, Mikhail Pak newspaper "Arguments and Facts." According to many experts, "RosAuto" especially created for the salvation of AvtoVAZ, and probably, the rescue will take place through regular cash infusions.
