K: Companies founded in 1828

BAT-STF(Saratov Tobacco Factory) is one of the oldest and largest enterprises in the tobacco industry in Russia. Located in Saratov. Owned by British American Tobacco.

Story

Brothers Kondraty and Mikhail Shtaf founded a tobacco factory in Saratov in 1828. Initially, the factory was designed to meet the needs of the hussar regiment located in Saratov. In this regard, tobacco products were expensive and good quality... However, literally a few years later, the hussar regiment from Saratov was transferred and the factory had problems with sales. The expensive products of the factory were not in demand by the local population.

The problem was solved by using local raw materials. At the beginning of the 19th century, such an industry Agriculture how the cultivation of tobacco in the Volga region was absent. In fact, the founders of tobacco growing were the Staf brothers: from imported seeds a small area was originally planted with tobacco. Over the course of several years, the number of seeds was significantly increased, which made it possible to plant a small plantation. And by the mid-1830s, the Volga lands fully covered the needs of the local tobacco industry for raw materials.

In the second half of the 19th century, the company moved to a new building on Dvoryanskaya Street, where it is located to this day.

Over time, competition in the tobacco market intensifies. By 1880, there were 13 tobacco factories in Saratov. But a really strong competitor could be considered the factory of the merchant Zelman Yakovlevich Levkovich, opened in 1879. However, the introduced excise law quickly led to the insolvency of 11 out of 13 Saratov tobacco factories, only the enterprises of Shtaf and Levkovich survived.

Further competition leads to the fact that the Shtaf factory becomes unprofitable and is acquired by a competitor in 1915. From that moment on, Levkovich remains the only tobacco and tobacco product manufacturer in Saratov. His company united 2 factories: Shtafa and his own at the corner of Astrakhan and Tsyganskaya streets. The total number of workers at the enterprises of Levkovich reached 600 people, which, by the standards of that time, made the company one of the largest in the city (for example, the factories of the “flour kings” of the Schmidts had a comparable number of employees).

The prosperity of the enterprise and its owner ended in 1918 when Levkovich's factories were nationalized. Soon the factory on Astrakhan Street was converted into a dormitory, and the old factory worked for its intended purpose. During the NEP years, the factory produced overhaul all factory buildings. Production processes have not practically changed since pre-revolutionary times as a product range. As before, the factory produced makhorka, snuff and smoking tobacco.

Changes came to the enterprise with the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. The production of cigarettes of the brands Belomor, Kazbek, Katyusha, Sever, Lyubitelskie was evacuated to Saratov from Leningrad. The production of cigarettes continued after the end of the war.

An excerpt characterizing BAT-STF

“I know that no one can help if nature doesn’t help,” said Prince Andrey, apparently embarrassed. - I agree that out of a million cases, one is unfortunate, but this is her and my fantasy. They told her, she saw in a dream, and she is afraid.
- Um ... um ... - said the old prince to himself, continuing to finish writing. - I'll do it.
He crossed out the signature, suddenly turned quickly to his son and laughed.
- Bad business, eh?
- What's bad, father?
- Wife! - the old prince said shortly and significantly.
“I don’t understand,” said Prince Andrew.
- Yes, there is nothing to do, my friend, - said the prince, - they are all like that, you can't get married. Do not be afraid; I won't tell anyone; and you yourself know.
He grabbed his hand with his bony little brush, shook it, looked straight into his son's face with his quick eyes, which seemed to see right through the man, and again laughed with his cold laugh.
The son sighed, admitting with this sigh that his father understood him. The old man, continuing to fold and print the letters, with his usual speed, seized and threw the sealing wax, the seal, and the paper.
- What to do? Beautiful! I'll do everything. Rest assured, ”he said abruptly as he typed.
Andrei was silent: he was both pleased and unpleasant that his father understood him. The old man got up and handed the letter to his son.
“Listen,” he said, “don't worry about your wife: what can be done will be done. Now listen: give the letter to Mikhail Ilarionovich. I am writing so that he will use you in good places and not keep you as an adjutant for a long time: a nasty post! Tell him that I remember him and love him. Yes, write how he will accept you. If it will be good, serve. Nikolai Andreich Bolkonsky's son, out of grace, will not serve anyone. Well, now come here.
He spoke so quickly that he did not finish half of the words, but his son was used to understanding him. He led his son to the bureau, threw back the lid, opened the drawer and took out a notebook covered with his large, long and compressed handwriting.
“I must have to die before you.” You should know, here are my notes, to hand them over to the Emperor after my death. Now here - here is a pawnshop ticket and a letter: this is a bonus to anyone who writes the history of the Suvorov wars. Send to the academy. Here are my remarks, read for yourself after me, you will find some benefit.
Andrei did not tell his father that he would probably live for a long time. He understood that it was not necessary to say this.
“I’ll do it all, father,” he said.
- Well, now goodbye! - He gave his son to kiss his hand and hugged him. “Remember one thing, Prince Andrei: if they kill you, the old man will hurt me ...” He suddenly fell silent and suddenly continued in a shouting voice: “but if I find out that you did not behave like the son of Nikolai Bolkonsky, I will be… ashamed! He screamed.
“You couldn’t tell me that, father,” said the son, smiling.
The old man fell silent.
“I also wanted to ask you,” Prince Andrey continued, “if they kill me and if I have a son, do not let him go, as I told you yesterday, so that he grows up with you… please.
- Would you like to give it to your wife? - said the old man and laughed.
They stood silently opposite each other. The old man's quick eyes were directly fixed on the eyes of his son. Something trembled in the lower part of the old prince's face.
- Goodbye ... go! He said suddenly. - Go! He shouted in an angry and loud voice, opening the office door.
- What is that? - Asked the princess and the princess, seeing Prince Andrey and the figure of an old man in a white coat, without a wig, and wearing old man's glasses, screaming in an angry voice for a moment.
Prince Andrew sighed and said nothing.
“Well,” he said, turning to his wife.
And this "well" sounded like a cold mockery, as if he were saying: "now you do your tricks."
- Andre, deja! [Andrey, already!] - said the little princess, turning pale and looking with fear at her husband.
He hugged her. She screamed and fell senseless on his shoulder.
He carefully pulled away the shoulder on which she was lying, looked into her face and gently sat her down on a chair.
- Adieu, Marieie, [Goodbye, Masha,] - he said quietly to his sister, kissed her hand in hand and quickly left the room.
The princess lay in an armchair, m lle Burien rubbing her whiskey. Princess Marya, supporting her daughter-in-law, with tear-stained beautiful eyes, was still looking at the door through which Prince Andrew had come out, and baptized him. From the office were heard, like shots, the often repeated angry sounds of the old man blowing his nose. As soon as Prince Andrey left, the office door opened quickly and the stern figure of an old man in a white coat peeped out.
- Have you gone? Well, good! He said, looking angrily at the insensitive little princess, shook his head reproachfully and slammed the door. Location

The changes came to the enterprise with the beginning

The Russian division of the world's largest cigarette manufacturer, the British American Tobacco Corporation (BAT), lost in the Arbitration Court of Appeal the first of a series of tax cases, the total claims on which by the Federal Tax Service of Russia are estimated at more than 335 million rubles. After the decision of the court, the BAT branch in Saratov will pay taxes, penalties and fines to the treasury in the amount of 69.4 million rubles. The tax authorities believe that the Russian division of the company unreasonably underestimated the tax base due to the costs of consulting, information and management services from the headquarters in London. BAT does not agree with these claims and says that such a scheme is a common international business practice.

On October 29, the 9th Arbitration Court of Appeal considered the appeal of the Federal Tax Service against the decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court, which in mid-August declared unfounded claims for loggers against British American Tobacco - STF, the Saratov factory of the BAT Russia group of companies. The tax authorities believed that the factory had inflated the price of the consulting services provided for it by the parent company, CJSC MUMT, and thus reduced the tax base. At the request of the Federal Tax Service, experts estimated the cost of services and confirmed the suspicions of the tax authorities. After several months of litigation, the Moscow Arbitration Court dismissed the tax authorities' first claim against British American Tobacco - STF OJSC, considering the expertise insufficiently convincing. The FTS did not give up and filed an appeal. Now the Court of Appeal has fully satisfied the claim of the Federal Tax Service against the tobacco factory.

Thus, British American Tobacco - STF must pay 69.4 million rubles to the treasury: taxes - 52 million rubles, penalties - 7.4 million rubles and a fine - 10 million.

In the near future, the courts will hear other claims of the Federal Tax Service against BAT Russia. Thus, the claim against the capital's BAT-Java factory for the recovery of 37.3 million rubles will be considered on November 5 in the court of first instance in Moscow. And on November 18, a hearing is scheduled at first instance in the case of the St. Petersburg branch of BAT-SPb on the collection of taxes for 245 million rubles.

In all cases, the Federal Tax Service's claims relate to payments that BAT's Russian branches regularly make to the headquarters in London for the provision of consulting, information and management services.

Representatives of the Russian division of the tobacco giant explained that, like any other international company, branches use the services of their central office and pay for these services.

We do not agree with the position of the tax authorities because it is common practice for most international companies to pay for consulting and management services at the headquarters, ”BAT told Izvestia. - It complies with the principles established by the Organization economic development and cooperation. There is nothing illegal and extraordinary about it.

The Federal Tax Service "Izvestia" did not comment on the course of the arbitration proceedings.

We cannot give any assessments before the final judicial act on these disputes is passed, - the Federal Tax Service told Izvestia.

Meanwhile, BAT Russia is still a defendant in criminal cases of tax fraud initiated in May 2013 by the TFR in Moscow. The cases were initiated upon the fact, and there are no accused or suspects in them. In one case, we are talking about the St. Petersburg factory of ZAO BAT-SPb, which, according to the investigation, underpaid about 245 million rubles to the budget. In another - about the Saratov OJSC "BAT-STF", where the non-payment of almost 52 million rubles. Another case mentions the Moscow tobacco factory BAT-Java, which is charged with a tax debt of 37.3 million rubles. According to the investigation, all these companies underpaid taxes in the period 2008-2009.

Experts believe that the TFR can withdraw its claims against BAT.

If, according to the decision of the Arbitration Court, BAT pays the money, then the criminal cases will most likely be closed, because the damage caused will be compensated, - believes Konstantin Trapaidze, chairman of the bar association "Your legal attorney". - But if the IC finds corpus delicti in actions officials, business may resume.

Experts also do not exclude that the reason for the initiation of the case could be a mistake of the tax authorities.

BAT really could have paid taxes for a long time, but information about this has not yet reached the right people in the tax, - considers Executive Director Association "Council for the Development of the Tobacco Industry" Eduard Vorontsov.

BAT opened a representative office in Russia in 1991. The company is one of the leaders in the Russian tobacco market. It owns three factories: BAT-Java in Moscow, BAT-SPb in St. Petersburg and BAT-STF in Saratov.

Manages a team in the entrusted territory and is responsible for achieving the set goals

How the company accepts newcomers

My company had several "first" working days - first in Siberia, then in Moscow, in different positions... A friendly atmosphere in any office is felt even without words. Of course, at first you are still worried, thinking about how the team will accept you. And then you come in and see these faces that are always smiling. From this it immediately becomes very calm. Everyone greeted me as if we had been working together for a year and doing one thing. During my career, I have not met such that it was difficult for me to resolve any issue with any structure in the company.

About the main advantages of work

I like my job for many reasons. She satisfies mine life principles and aspirations, it is very dynamic. At BAT Russia, I just feel comfortable, I feel at ease. This helps to open up and achieve the set goals. When I first arrived, I was very surprised by how similar my colleagues and I were from the field structures. We are all very ambitious, everyone is responsible not only for himself and for the territory in which he works, but also for his comrade. Everyone is ready to support, insure, and this unites everyone.

About traditions

When we finish an important project or reach high goal, we will definitely celebrate it all together. Someone suggests some interesting idea and people immediately pick it up. Sometimes we can just get together on Friday and go somewhere in nature, ride bicycles, go to the bathhouse in winter, go skiing or snowboarding. The company employs very versatile people, everyone has their own hobby. Someone, for example, is professionally engaged in parachuting - and is ready to inspire others to do so. I myself haven’t jumped with a parachute yet, but I’m going to try.

Responsible for planning the supply, production and distribution of products

About starting a career

I came to the BAT Russia factory in Saratov almost 10 years ago, right from my student days. Starting to work, I immediately became imbued with the spirit of an international company and a large-scale enterprise with complex technological processes... It was all incredibly interesting. Then I was able to appreciate the atmosphere in the company. She contributed to self-development and the disclosure of a person's potential, gave a certain freedom in decision-making and gave responsibility. I was also amazed at how openly and warmly my colleagues received me.

About what kind of people will be comfortable in the company

In order for a person to join the BAT Russia team, he must first of all be ambitious. The company has an atmosphere of focus on success. It is very difficult to fit into it if you do not have ambitions in terms of personal growth, increasing your results, professional development... It is also important to be a team player here - this is very much appreciated here, because one person without the support of colleagues rarely achieves truly outstanding results. In addition, FMCG as a whole is a very dynamic industry. To work here, you need to be ready to quickly change yourself and change the reality around you.

About motivation

To succeed, a person must constantly raise the bar for himself, develop, every day find in his work something that he can do even better. One of the main things that motivates me in the company is the opportunity to learn. I was very lucky at BAT Russia: I had an interesting cross-functional career, and in each of my positions I learned something new, broadened my horizons, discovered new areas of business, and grew personally. All this is a certain investment in yourself and your future. What could be more important than this?

Responsible for HR management in the marketing department

About colleagues

The people who work for BAT Russia have a very high standard in everything they do. This is very smart people, I can learn a lot from my colleagues. The company does not take anything on trust: every time you have to prove why this particular solution will work. On the one hand, it is difficult, but on the other, it teaches us to think ahead and see the big picture. Plus, many people here have a great sense of humor. I enjoy communicating with colleagues immensely. We spend our free time together, participate in the Race of Heroes, and run marathons. Even just going to the movies and talking about something other than work is always great.

About freedom and trust

I started in Saratov as a summer trainee at a factory, worked in various divisions of the HR department, gained experience in foreign markets, in Poland and Kazakhstan. Now I am the head of the department. This is possible because the company believes in people. BAT Russia sets the direction of work for several years, but gives freedom in how I and my team will achieve our goals. When a company trusts you with resources, budgets, decision-making power, it is very motivating. You can really influence how the business develops.

What you need to know when coming to the company

The person who joins us must immediately understand that it will not be easy here. For those who want to get into a calm, measured environment, BAT Russia is definitely not suitable. Our company is extremely dynamic. Every time here you need to think outside the box. The solution that worked yesterday may not work tomorrow. Therefore, this is the place for those who are not afraid of change. There will be a lot of drive here for them. In addition, you need to be an honest open person, understand what your strengths and weaknesses and be ready to evolve.

Deals with the assessment of efficiency and distribution of investments

What motivates you the most

I like my job primarily because of the people and the atmosphere. To be honest, I believe that BAT Russia is one of the best companies on the market from this point of view, at least from production. It seems to me that this is the main motivation - a good boss and a well-coordinated team. For the sake of this, I want to do something more so as not to let anyone down. In the company I have a lot of acquaintances and friends, we often communicate outside of work. For example, next Thursday we are going to a picnic with the whole team. Often my colleagues and I just go to the movies or sit out somewhere.

About traditions

Every second Friday we have a Friday morning coffee - the entire financial department gathers in our social zone and, under coffee with buns, discusses some pressing issues, travel, important news. Once a quarter, we also have an informal meeting for the whole team, where different representatives of the finance department take turns talking about what they are doing, what interesting projects they have, how they are moving, how you can participate in them. Such events are very popular.

How a company affects people

When I came to BAT Russia, we took a survey at one of the trainings in order to draw up our personal profile. I got the profile of a super-purposeful, ambitious person, focused on results at any cost. Two years later, I came to the same training and got a completely different result - it was a balance between achieving a result, focusing on people and processes. The coach was very surprised. And I just realized during my work in the company that such an approach to work is much more effective than following your goal over the head.
