Funds for the construction of "Neskuchny Home & Spa" structures Blazhko attracted in 2007. Then they received from Sviaz-Bank (now a member of VEB) 5.6 billion rubles. In 2012, the parties entered into a settlement agreement, and VEB forgave Blazhko 2.7 billion rubles. debt. But in the summer of 2017 Gorn Development again defaulted on the loan, said earlier to "Vedomosti" two sources close to the developer and VEB. In January 2018, the same people said that Blazhko was trying to negotiate a debt restructuring. According to them, the transfer of the stake to Neskuchny Home & Spa was discussed.

 
Negotiations on the settlement of debt obligations are still going on, these interlocutors of Vedomosti say. One of them reminds: VEB has recently changed its leadership, the bank was headed by former First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Igor Shuvalov. Now, according to the interlocutor of Vedomosti, the bank is aimed at selling non-core and distressed assets, so even if VEB enters the capital of the company owning Neskuchny Home & Spa, it will be temporary. Representatives of VEB and Gorn Development declined to comment.

From the decision of Moscow's arbitration it follows that the property recovered on VEB's debt will be sold at public auction.

The difference between the amount of debt and the sale price of the deputy head of the practice of property and liability relations of the legal service "Amuleks" Galina Hamburg explains by the fact that it is this value of the parties' shares agreed in the pledge agreements. The funds raised from the sale must go to repay the debt. If the shares are not sold at the first and repeated trades, they can get to the bank, says Dmitry Kletochkin, partner of Rustam Kurmaev and Partners.
