Omsk Completes School in Serebryany Bereg, but Opening Delayed
The new school in Omsk«s Serebryany Bereg neighborhood is designed to accommodate over a thousand students.
In Omsk, the long-awaited School No. 155 in the Serebryany Bereg neighborhood has been put into operation. The Department of Architecture and Urban Planning issued the permission for this at the end of 2025.
City hall told NGS55.RU that classes have not yet begun at the school: «Children will start their education after the licensing process is finished.»
Recall that the construction of the school was accompanied by problems. The contract for construction was signed with the company Kapital-razvitiye in 2021. Its cost amounted to over 1.1 billion rubles (over $11 million at current rates).
In November 2023, work was suspended, and later the administration terminated the contract with Kapital-razvitiye, and then signed a new one with the Ingush company Russtroy.
The founder and director of Russtroy is Magomed-Emin Deniyev. Revenue for 2024 amounted to 671 million rubles (about $6.71 million at current rates), profit — 13 million rubles (about $130,000 at current rates). In addition to the school in Serebryany Bereg, the company is building an educational institution in the Yasnaya Polyana neighborhood and a kindergarten in the Amursky settlement on Zavertyaeva Street.
In May 2025, the head of the developer company LLC Kapital Razvitiye was arrested in absentia on suspicion of embezzling over 280 million rubles (about $2.8 million at current rates) allocated for this project through fictitious contracts. Despite this, in the summer, Governor Vitaly Khotsenko stated that construction was 80% complete, and opening was planned for January 2026 after the New Year holidays.
In the fall, residents complained about a new «freeze» on work, but the city hall explained that activity had shifted inside the building. In November, city authorities confirmed plans to complete all work by the end of the year.
