By the end of the 1990s, the Baturins' company entered the construction business and acted as one of the general contractors for the construction of the City Chess in Kalmykia. The idea of arranging a special territory for holding international chess tournaments belonged to the President of Kalmykia, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov.[7]

After just a few months, an even bigger charge of bill fraud followed. The sentence this time became not conditional, but quite real. The term of stay in the colony was assigned to 7 years. And on January 22, 2016, the Supreme Court of Kalmykia was released from the colony ahead of schedule, 2 years 10 months and 7 days before the end of the term.
