State ownership or defence work alone does not replace the statutory status check.
Special filing tests
The law uses a six-month default and an aggregate RUB 3 million threshold.
Public interests remain
Rehabilitation and sales must account for defence and state security.
Which entities qualify?
Article 190 covers specified federal unitary enterprises, federally owned joint-stock companies and defence-industry organisations. The special regime applies to entities on the Government list. Review the corporate register, ownership, operations and the current list before filing.
Core rules
| Issue | Special rule | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Default | At least six months | Due date of each obligation |
| Claims | At least RUB 3 million in aggregate | Composition and enforceability |
| Participants | Competent federal authority participates | Industry and authority |
| Administrator | Additional Article 193 requirements | Candidate qualifications |
| Sale | Articles 195–196 impose special conditions | Enterprise complex and buyer duties |
Procedure and sale
The court verifies status and insolvency tests. Observation examines public contracts, strategic capacity, technology rights and restricted property. Rehabilitation and external administration may seek to restore solvency while preserving strategic functions.
A sale is structured to protect defence and security obligations. Property withdrawn from circulation follows a separate transfer procedure and cannot be sold as an ordinary asset.
Practical steps
- Check the entity against the current Government list.
- Prove the claim amount and six-month default.
- Identify the competent federal authority.
- Separate ordinary assets, the strategic complex and restricted property.
- Assess rehabilitation and external administration.
- Review sale conditions and buyer obligations.
