Cooperative "Lake" and other projects of Vladimir Putin Pribylovsky Vladimir Valerianovich

Cooperative "Lake"

Cooperative "Lake"

(From the article "Putin's Villa on Komsomolskoye Lake")

Country question

... If you believe the declaration, Putin owns two land plots, respectively, 3302 and 3494 square meters. meters in the Leningrad region and 15 acres in the suburbs. declared and. O. President and his St. Petersburg dacha with a living area of ​​152.9 sq. m. Everything seems to be honest. And for some reason all the media decided that the official Putin owns only wastelands, and once again reproduced his old statement about "life on suitcases."

But why then Putin almost a hectare of vacant land? He is not good at golf. He does not grow tulips in greenhouses. It's strange somehow.

To look at Putin's "wastelands", we went to the Priozersky district of the Leningrad region. From St. Petersburg it is about a hundred kilometers along a decent highway. Judging by the usual topographic map, then Vacation home Putin is located in the modest holiday village of Solovyovka, of which there are hundreds scattered throughout the Leningrad Region.

We have long known about Putin's dacha farm on the shores of Komsomolskoye Lake. But we could not find any documents confirming that it was his property. We found only a list of founders of the dacha cooperative "Ozero", which included acting. president.

From this document follows a complete list of the founders of the Ozero cooperative for the fall of 1996:

Smirnov Vladimir Alekseevich;

Shamalov Nikolai Terentievich;

Putin Vladimir Vladimirovich;

Yakunin Vladimir Ivanovich;

Kovalchuk Yuri Valentinovich;

Myachin Victor Evgenievich;

Fursenko Andrey Alexandrovich;

Fursenko Sergey Alexandrovich.

But it did nothing. Moreover, our law enforcement sources claimed that in the fall of last year, the head of the administration of the Priozersky district received a cipher message from Moscow with a categorical instruction - to destroy all the papers on Putin's dacha in Solovyovka. And then bam, and a self-filled declaration!

After wandering through the local pine forests for a short time, we drove up to Solovyovka - an ordinary summer cottage with wooden houses and six-hundred gardens. At the rickety gate - two tubular wings - we were met by an elderly lady, walking "chao-chao".

- Have you come to see Putin's dacha? - a local resident immediately stunned us with her insight.

- And what, many journalists have already been here? we asked.

No, you are the first. But just in case, we put the gate so that other people's cars would not disturb us. HE came here to spend the night from February 13 to 14, when Sobchak's funeral was, so the guards drove so much ...

After examining us suspiciously, Natalya Ivanovna told me how best to get to the dacha and. O. President, so that the guards do not detect.

- It would be better from the side of the lake, there is a gorgeous view. But the ice has melted and the water is knee-deep - you won’t come up ...

- Do all the locals know who "lived and worked" at this dacha?

- So after all, there was a big scandal when ordinary summer residents were resettled from the shore of the lake so that Putin would get the whole cape. To those who were more assertive, log houses were put up from a bar, and for the majority - summer country houses were knocked together on the mountain. Summer residents did not pay anything, it is not clear at whose expense all this resettlement was done ... In 1997, another event happened - HIM's sauna burned down. The Polish workers somehow laid the wiring incorrectly, then the Finns rebuilt everything. And closer to the summer, we will probably create an initiative group and demand that Putin make a public beach for us. And then he and his friends from the FSB occupied the entire coast - there is nowhere for children to swim ...

Having made our way through the gardens to Putin's dacha, we tried to film it, but could not find a good angle. Miserable country houses blocked even the splendor of a two-meter fence, with which the "vacant lot" was surrounded. O. presidenti, and from behind which the red tiled roof was barely visible two-story house. Therefore, at the risk of running into a scandal, they decided to drive up to the gates of Putin's dacha along a road specially laid to them, which is not inferior in quality to the German autobahn. Filming everything in at its best, even the guard at the gatehouse window, rushed towards the track.

Only at that moment our driver began to realize that we were filming something forbidden, and tried to calm us down:

- I drive a car by agreement, the owner has been in Finland for permanent residence for three years, and in general I was going to sell it next week ...

They got to St. Petersburg without incident, making sure that Putin's dacha economy is fully consistent with the information indicated in his declaration as a candidate for the post of president of Russia. And readers can now judge for themselves how Putin's "wasteland" corresponds to his official salary and. about the president.

And it remains for us to add that if VV is put on a par with other leading politicians, it will become clear that his earnings are far from the first, if, again, the declaration is to be believed. Let's say that in 1998, Grigory Yavlinsky earned $3846.8 a month, Yeltsin received an average of $742, and Putin got $536. And when VV was vice-governor of St. Petersburg, probably even less.

Housing problem

According to the declaration, O. President lives modestly in a Moscow service apartment of 157.5 square meters. meters. In St. Petersburg, he had only two garages left. But why and. O. garages, if he does not have a single vehicle, and he seems to have nowhere to live in St. Petersburg. Or is there somewhere?

Putin had an old friend from the Leningrad Department of the KGB, Valery Golubev, in St. Petersburg. In 1979 he was also drafted into the State Security agencies, and in 1991 he retired from the reserve - just like Putin, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Golubev, however, unlike his famous colleague, did not achieve special heights in the civilian field. In 1991, he became the head of the secretariat of the St. Petersburg City Hall, and since 1993, the head of the administration of the Vasileostrovsky district.

Vasilyevsky Island is considered in St. Petersburg, perhaps, the most prestigious place of residence. Old houses of pre-revolutionary construction after a major overhaul are especially valued. And now, on Vasilievsky Island, which has been run by the former Chekist Golubev since 1993, two houses went for major repairs. The first one is at the address: 2nd line, 17, and the other at the address: 15th line, 12. After the repair, the apartments were supposed to be populated by law, registered for the improvement of living conditions in the Vasileostrovsky district. But then amazing things began to happen.

A certain firm "Linix" intervened in the matter, which gained notoriety after the fraud with the housing of the former mayor A. Sobchak became public. But, as it turns out, not one late Sobchak used the services of "Linix". This company took ownership of several apartments in the city of Vsevolozhsk and exchanged them for prestigious apartments on Vasilyevsky Island, concluding an appropriate agreement with the administration of the Vasileostrovsky district represented by its head Golubev.

Here it is necessary to clarify that Vsevolozhsk, although it is a regional center of the Leningrad Region, does not yet claim the status of Venice of the North. Except in the autumn thaw. In a word, the exchange was as equal as if a luxury apartment in a sanatorium in Barvikha were exchanged for an apartment in Magadan. Nevertheless, Golubev went for this exchange. True, he decided everything not for himself, but for the people on the waiting list in the Vasileostrovsky district. And they received apartments in Vsevolozhsk, not even guessing in what prestigious place the living space was intended for them.

And who, then, occupied the elite apartments on Vasilevsky Island, thanks to Golubev's concerns? Well, let's take a few at random. So, for example, Mr. Rudenko, the husband of the deputy. Head of Administration of the Vasileostrovsky District. T. Semenova settled in apartment No. 19, who is only brought by her own mother-in-law to the former Chekist V. Golubev. But apartment 24 in the same building 17 on the 2nd line went to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin himself.

On February 23, 1993, Putin was issued an exchange order 205553/22 for this apartment. However, in the column where the person with whom Putin made the exchange was supposed to be indicated, there was a dash. To the above, it should also be added that Larisa Kharchenko, who at that time was Sobchak's assistant on housing issues, was most directly involved in the exchange of Vasileostrovsky apartments for Vsevolozhsk apartments, and then was accused in the well-known "apartment" case. And it can also be recalled that at the end of 1993 the exchange of municipal housing for private could not be in principle, because such an operation was simply not provided for by the law in force at that time. That Golubev was fully explained by the lawyers of the district administration. Moreover, the district housing exchange for a long time refused to issue warrants for this deal, pointing out its illegality. And only after Golubev received Sobchak's personal approval, as well as his written instruction to the head of the Gorzhilobmen to issue orders for apartments in Vsevolozhsk to those on the waiting list, Putin moved into a new elite apartment.

All this old apartment story, about which the Novy Peterburg newspaper reported not so long ago, unfortunately, in accordance with the law, was not reflected in the declaration of presidential candidate Putin.

banking question

Yeltsin's successor has accounts in three banks: 15,992 rubles in Sberbank, 54,375 rubles in St. Petersburg's Baltic Bank, and 316,632 rubles in Promstroibank of St. Petersburg (PSB). Putin also owns 23 PSB shares with a par value of 1 ruble each. On this connection with banking and. O. The President's speech is interrupted, although if you trace it back to 1998, the CEC would have learned a lot of interesting things about presidential candidate Putin.

Take at least one of the first commercial St. Petersburg banks "Russia", which was created at the dawn of the cooperative movement in 1998 by academician Alexandrov. It was located directly in Smolny (entrance 4). It is clear that at that time such a banking institution could not function without strict supervision from the party bodies, more precisely for the benefit of the CPSU.

The founders of the bank included 14 large structures: "International Business Center", "Eurosib", "Lenvest" and others. List individuals- the shareholders of Rossiya Bank were thoroughly classified, which is understandable, since among them were such high-profile names as Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev, Anatoly Sobchak, Georgy Khizha, as well as novice Russian politicians Putin and Cherkesov. However, the last two special services then did not even think about big politics, but were engaged in things much more prosaic.

It was a strange bank. He had full access to the operational materials of the FSB and the Central Internal Affairs Directorate on the financial structures of St. Petersburg and actively used them. From UBEP, UR, RUOP, the bank constantly received diskettes with various financial intelligence data, the bank's management (President Vitaly Savelyev) placed their people in various financial structures in order to obtain information and control. The security service of Rossiya Bank was constantly allocated up to $50,000 to bribe officials.

Later, when the CPSU was gone, guys from the Tambov criminal gang showed interest in the Rossiya bank and, most likely, they had a share there in exchange for a “roof”.

And the bank continued to engage in financial intelligence not only domestically, but abroad (through the International Consulting Agency, where the current FSB officers worked)

Confidant of the current and. O. President in the bank "Russia" was a certain Vladimir Yakunin. In order to attract foreign capital to the bank, Yakunin actively used his American connections (once he worked in the USA through the KGB). So, former (and maybe current, who will figure them out) CIA employees turned out to be involved in the activities of the Rossiya Bank, who really invested decent amounts in the bank's equity capital.

ABOUT financial success Bank "Russia" never heard anything. In a word, the bank was strange.

offshore issue

When he was vice-governor of St. Petersburg, VV, apparently, was actively engaged in commercial activities, which, in accordance with the law, also did not want to know the CEC. Putin headed the so-called "Committee for Foreign Relations of St. Petersburg", which was officially registered as a commercial structure. By the way, A. Kozak was the chief accountant in this office for Putin.

The commercial activities of the "Committee" consisted in the fact that he was a co-founder in various large and small firms, helping them solve issues with renting premises, marketing products, and so on. at the level of the mayor's office, and for this he received part of the profits or dividends, which, in theory, should have been completely used to replenish the city's budget.

According to operational information available law enforcement Petersburg, serious money passed through the “Committee”, only not all funds fell into the state treasury, but partially settled in offshore. In principle, this is a normal world practice of tax evasion, a normal desire to protect assets from encroachments by creditors in this way (remember the story of the Central Bank and its offshore structure Fimako). It is possible that the Germans taught how to use offshore companies for the benefit of the budget of the city of Putin, because in Germany Everyone works with offshore companies at the state level, including such monsters as Deutsche Bank.

But the problem is that, as a rule, only 2-3 people know about the existence of offshore companies and accounts in offshore banks, and they are opened in the names of just these 2-3 people ... Were all the budgetary funds of St. Petersburg from there? withdrawn at the time or there is something left? Who is in charge of these funds now? - The Central Election Commission is unlikely to ever find answers to these questions. The "dictatorship of law" will not allow it.

P.S. Unlike the villa on Komsomolskoye Lake, this unfinished "hut on chicken legs" on the shores of Lake Peipus, owned by Putin's wife, is all image makers and. O. President and the central media trumpeted with pleasure.

About a hundred and twenty kilometers from St. Petersburg is the village of Solovyovka, which is located on the coast. Here, clean and intoxicating air, Karelian pines are a wonderful place. It was in this place that Vladimir Putin acquired the dacha with the assistance of Viktor Zubkov.

Soon after that, or rather, in the fall of 1996, the Ozero dacha cooperative was founded, whose members were V. Putin, Yu. Kovalchuk, N. Shamalov, V. Myachin, V. Smirnov, V. Yakunin, the Fursenko brothers. Later, Smirnov, Shamalov and Yakunin remained members of the cooperative, but pretty soon they were joined by businessmen V. Mozhaev, V. Ballandovich, V. Votolevsky, S. Orlov, A. Antonov, economist S. Prushchak, O. Pershina and A. Levin .

By 2011, 15 years have passed since the beginning of the existence of these dachas. Became known throughout the world cooperative "Lake". Photos of luxurious buildings and their inhabitants flooded the entire Internet.

What is this mysterious object? The "Lake" cooperative is a well-protected area with a runway, a meteorological post, a radio beacon. Buildings on the territory of the cooperative are two- and three-story mansions.

With the coming to power of Vladimir Putin, cooperative workers suddenly began to quickly climb the career ladder, their business began to flourish, everyone got rich before our eyes. According to media reports, Kovalchuk and Shamalov, Russian oligarchs, are now billionaires who own a controlling stake in AKB Rossiya (a joint-stock commercial bank). At the very beginning of Putin's career as president of the country, it was the most ordinary and insignificant bank, but then suddenly the state decided to take it under its control. Thus, the large monetary assets of Gazprom went to the joint-stock bank on the cheap, and Gazprom ceased to be state-owned.

Putin's relatives also increased their wealth. Putin's cousin, Mikhail Shelomov, became a shareholder of the bank. His other cousin, Mikhail Putin, took over as deputy chairman of the board of the largest insurance company, Sogaz. Previously, he headed the medical department of OAO Gazprom, which conducted transactions worth several hundred million a year.

The Ozero cooperative continued to prosper, all of its founders holding leadership positions in government bodies and state-controlled organizations. Yakunin was first Deputy Minister of Transport of Russia, then First Deputy Minister of Railways, and then began to head the Russian Railways.

Vladimir Smirnov also rose rapidly, rising to the rank of adviser to the director of the Atomenergoprom concern. He had close ties to businessman Barsukov (Kumarin), who, in turn, was connected to Colombian drug traffickers. The Ozero cooperative was guarded by an agency owned by Kumarin-Barsukov.

Brothers Fursenko. Sergei is a former director of Lentransgaz and now heads the Russian Football Union, the National Media Group, which is controlled by Rossiya Bank. It includes several television channels and the Izvestiya newspaper. appointed by the Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.

The Ozero cooperative continues to flourish, its founders and their relatives, together with the Rossiya Bank, tirelessly increase their wealth.

The world-famous Ozero cooperative was created in November 1996. Putin and seven of his friends decided to build dachas next door, on the shores of Lake Komsomolskoye near St. Petersburg.

In 2016, this amazing (new) formation turns 20 years old. And this is no longer a dacha cooperative, but a world-class organized crime group. In the fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, the gnomes mined gold and precious stones, and Snow White sat at home, washed, cleaned, cooked. In the "Lake" the gnomes stole, killed, sawed the budget, and Putin protected them from the side of the authorities. And portrayed Snow White on TV.

1. President of the Russian Federation Putin Mikhal Ivanych.

Five of the seven friends with whom Putin settled in the "Ozero" are businessmen, who can be called the "PTI group" - all of them in 1990-91. engaged in business at the Physico-Technical Institute. Ioffe. These are Yakunin, Kovalchuk, brothers Fursenko and Myachin. Of these, only one is a Chekist (Yakunin), the rest are former physicists. Type intelligence.

The FTI was the flagship of Soviet science. In the early 90s, with the blessing of director Zhores Alferov, five businessmen from the future "Ozero" created a group of firms and joint ventures (joint ventures with foreigners) at the institute. They were mainly engaged in trade - computers, scientific instruments, etc. True, at the FTI they were just starting out, then they spun up and began to work independently. But all the same warm company.

The building of the Institute of Physics and Technology at Polytechnic, 26.

Putin met these guys in 1991. They helped him pull off two of his very first scams, which later played an important role in the biography of the future president of the Russian Federation. This is the Raw Materials for Food scam and the takeover of Rossiya Bank (formerly owned by the CPSU). This gave Putin both the first big money and a place to store it. These same five friends formed the backbone of the new (already Putin's) shareholders of Rossiya Bank.

So, five of Putin's seven friends, with whom he established Ozero, are the FTI group, which is also Rossiya Bank. The two remaining summer residents are Vladimir Smirnov and Nikolai Shamalov. By the way, also intelligentsia. Smirnov in Soviet time was a researcher at LIAP (Leningrad Institute of Aviation Instrumentation), a laureate of the State Prize, and Shamalov was a dentist. Both then went into business.

If it can be called commerce, of course... One of them had his entire business connected with the Tambov organized crime group, the other with kickbacks to Putin from the supply of German medical equipment for the city.

Smirnov in the 90s. was essentially a deputy. head of the Tambov organized crime group in economics. The leader of this organized crime group, the largest in the city, was his friend and business partner Vladimir Kumarin (Kum). What they just did not stir up together. And money was washed with cocaine (SPAG company), and real estate was squeezed out, and the gasoline market in the city was seized (Petersburg Fuel Company). And in the latter case - after a series of showdowns with the use of all types of weapons. Everyone who stood in the way of Smirnov and Kuma to the PTK went straight to the cemetery.

Smirnov and Kum in their best years.

As for Nikolai Shamalov, he spent the entire 90s modestly sitting at the Siemens office in St. Petersburg. Sold equipment to city hospitals. Not forgetting to bring good kickbacks to the mayor's office for choosing the right supplier. On the basis of which he met Putin and was awarded a place in the Lake cooperative.

And in the 2000s, Shamalov also began working for Putin as a cellist. All sorts of offshore companies with billions in turnover, shares in banks and enterprises were also recorded on it. But at the same time, unlike Roldugin, he also carried out household assignments: he oversaw the construction of the palace near Gelendzhik, bought furniture there, looked after the elite vineyards. Shamalov actively attracted his sons to his business. The elder Yuri became the head of the Gazfond (the pension money of Gazprom employees, which Putin and the Rossiya bank actually privatized).

"Lake" is not without reason compared with an organized criminal group. There are Tambov, there are Solntsevo, and there are lake ones. Everything is similar here: the ringleader, sixes, specialization - who controls what and from what money collects. And there is a common fund (its own bank), and clicks even for communicating with each other.

In the 2000s two defectors from the inner circle of the Kremlin fled to the West: Dmitry Skarga and Sergei Kolesnikov. Both provided Putin with household services. Skarga (former director of Sovcomflot) in 2002 ferried the super-yacht Olympia from Europe to Sochi (Abramovich's bribe to Putin). Kolesnikov (vice-president of the Petromed company), together with Shamalov, helped build a palace near Gelendzhik.

Once in the West, Skarga and Kolesnikov spoke about the customs prevailing in the Kremlin. Both of them, in particular, gave interviews for the sensational BBC film "Putin's Secret Riches", which was released at the end of 2015.

According to Skarga and Kolesnikov, Putin among his entourage has the nickname “Mikhal Ivanych” (chief in the “Diamond Hand”) and is a real godfather. The rest are all no more than sixes, even those who are on the Forbes lists. So, Timchenko (like a billionaire) admitted to Skarga in private conversations that all his actions are "controlled by Mikhal Ivanych." Those. he is a purely nominal oligarch.

And Kolesnikov, who worked with Shamalov, once decided to challenge some order of Mikhail Ivanovich. Decided to put in my 5 cents. In response, Shamalov laid siege to him: “He is the king, you are a serf! Your work is a slave - to fulfill!

By the way, the serf Shamalov was included in the Forbes list in 2011. In 2013, the serf's son Kirill was married to the tsar's daughter, now it is a single clan of Putin-Shamalovs.

Beautiful couple, by the way. Putin has grandchildren, which will be necessary.

And here he is. Meet the king.

2.Bank-common fund

In August 1991, the GKChP coup took place in the USSR. After its failure, the former ruling party, the CPSU, was banned. At the same time, in St. Petersburg, this party had its own bank - Rossiya Bank. Its main owner was the Leningrad regional committee of the CPSU. When the CPSU was banned, the bank's activities were suspended.

In September 1991, Sobchak laid eyes on him. He issued an order to reform the bank: to select new founders for it (investors, preferably foreign ones) and create there the "Fund for Stabilizing the Economy of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region." This task was entrusted to Putin - Sobchak's deputy and head of the Committee on Foreign Relations (FAC) at the mayor's office.

The briefcase was heavy, I had to carry a lot.

Sobchak's order about the Rossiya bank was, in general, a Klondike. A bank with a license and the rest of the party money was lying on the road. Its former owners from the regional committee of the CPSU were in a hopeless situation. The question was who would go to the bank instead of them. Who gets there first. And it turned out to be businessmen from the “PTI group”.

Under the FAC, Putin had an Association of Joint Ventures. Yakunin and Kovalchuk actively hung out there. Putin contacted them, they mobilized their connections and bought the bank for themselves.

Of course, no "Economic Stabilization Fund" was created. But at the end of 1991, the five Yakunin, Kovalchuk, the brothers Fursenko and Myachin became (through firms controlled by them) the new owners of Rossiya Bank. Since then, for 25 years now, this bank has been a common wallet (of them and Putin). Or rather, in common.

In the 2000s, huge assets were collected in AB Rossiya. Sogaz, Sibur, Gazprombank, Gazprom-Media, everything that Mikhal Ivanovich dragged from Gazprom, from the budget, everything was registered with the bank and its structures.

The headquarters of AB "Russia" on the square. Rastrelli in Petersburg:

By the way, Roldugin's offshore companies were controlled from this building. All instructions to Panama about the $2 billion he was saving up for instruments for the orchestra (according to Putin) came from AB Rossiya.

Yury Kovalchuk has been in charge of the bank for many years, he (nominally) also has the largest block of shares. Kovalchuk - former physicist, laureate of the USSR State Prize, professor, nickname - "Slanting". Professor Yura Kosoi is now an oligarch and media mogul (owner of Channel One, Channel Five, NTV, Ren-TV, etc.). In 2014, the bank and personally Kosoy were sanctioned. In a US Treasury statement, Kovalchuk was described as Putin's "personal teller".

oblique. The keeper of the obshchak and the master of the TV.

On March 23, 2014, immediately after the imposition of sanctions, cashier Kovalchuk gave an interview to Dmitry Kiselev. He spoke about his love for Putin; about the fact that he has $15 billion worth of assets in the bank; and for some reason - about patriotism. Not a word about where the 15 billion came from in the bank, and whose they really are.

But that's nothing. Here is his neighbor on the "Lake" Yakunin in the 2000s. generally became the ideologist of patriotism. In August 2015, Yakunin wrote in his article "Globalization and Capitalism":

“It can be said that the ruling elite of the United States made a big mistake by placing the messianic conviction at the basis of the doctrine of globalization that they were appointed by the Lord to rule the world. As soon as the USSR disappeared, which periodically brought it to its senses, this "hegemon" in world politics broke so much firewood that, in fact, the masses of people perceive the United States as a rogue state.

In Soviet times, Yakunin was the head of the foreign department at the FTI (there was such a GB position in Soviet universities). Then the Lord appointed him head of Russian Railways. Now he is nostalgic for the USSR, which "brought to life" America. I would continue the topic. If in the USSR the chief railways(then it was called the Ministry of Railways) built a villa with a fur coat store, he would also be brought to his senses. Bullet in the back of the head. For theft in especially large ones at the same time there was a tower.

The main thing is that America does not capture us, you understand, right?

But back to the bank "Russia". From the "PTI group" there was also Viktor Myachin, also a former physicist and summer resident from the "Ozero". For many years he was a top manager and shareholder of the bank. But in 2009 he sold his share, bought various real estate in St. Petersburg and ... retired.

Although Myachin is the youngest of the lakes (born 1961), he has been leading the life of a retired oligarch for many years, not knowing what to do with himself. Either he crosses Greenland on snowmobiles, or he hunts rare sheep in Kyrgyzstan. Such Abramovich in miniature. Having nothing to do, he even began to play hockey in amateur tournaments.

Two more shareholders of Rossiya Bank from 1991 are the Fursenko brothers - Andrey and Sergey. Also lake brothers. The brothers did not achieve much success in business, but they proved themselves in other areas. Andrey Fursenko, a former professor at the FTI, has been hanging out in the government since 2000: either as a minister, or as a deputy. Minister, now - Putin's assistant for science and education. It is Fursenko who is the author of the Skolkovo project and the whole idea of ​​nanotechnology. Well, we can go no further, I think.

The two main nanotechnologists of the country. Andrey Fursenko - on the left.

As for Andrei Fursenko's brother, Sergei, he is also a former physicist. At first he worked at Gazprom (head of Lentransgaz), but then he got tired of it, and he went to the football part. Taxied by FC Zenit, then by the RFU. After another failure of the national team, he was removed from there. Now in the Presidential Council for Physical Education and Sports.

Of course, I foresee the question. Well, it turns out that in the Ozero cooperative there are a bunch of former scientists, two professors, winners of prizes. And suddenly: there was Professor Kovalchuk, and now there is Yura "Kosoy", the holder of the obshchak. How so?

Who is surprised, I propose to look at this man with a poster:

Also a doctor of sciences (at 38), laureate of the Lenin Komsomol Prize for scientific achievements. And then he went into commerce and that's it - he became "Birch". And this poster he has, addressed to Putin (“I gave birth to you ...”), it is not so far from the truth:

Ironically, the conflict between Putin and Berezovsky began in 2000, when Putin took a controlling stake in ORT (Channel One) from him. Now Channel One is owned by Kovalchuk. Birch was replaced by Oblique. This is the main meaning of the reign of Michal Ivanych.

3. "Russian video". Side branch of Putin's mafia.

Speaking about the buyout of Rossiya Bank by the "PTI group" in 1991, one important detail should be kept in mind. The fact is that the communists (regional committee) were not the sole owners of the bank. They had simply the largest share (48%). The second large stake (42%) belonged to the Russian Video film studio, and another 10% were owned by small shareholders (Rus insurance company, Krasnoselskaya fur factory).

Of these former owners of the bank, only the regional committee of the CPSU in 1991 was in a stalemate. They had no choice but to give their share to those to whom the mayor's office indicated (Sobchak and Putin). The rest had no such problems.

Nevertheless, the "PTI group" took both the share of the regional committee and the share of the film studio. Small shareholders gave up their shares later. That is, Putin somehow agreed with the people from the "Russian Video" amicably. What were these people? - Pretty interesting characters. Putin collaborated with them not only in the 1991 buyout of the bank, but for many years afterwards. True, he prefers to keep quiet about what kind of cooperation it was.

This is the Soviet Screen magazine, No. 23, 1988.

There is a small note in the magazine: “Russian video” is starting.” It contains a story about a new company that has just been created under the Videofilm state association:

“Glorious news comes from Leningrad. The traditional rock festival, which took place in June of this year, was completely filmed by the recently organized studio "Russian Video" (by order of the All-Union Production and Creative Association "Videofilm"), and now this material is being edited (...) Commanded by Dmitry Rozhdestvensky - artistic director and chief director of Russian Video.

The founders of the company "Russian Video" were two childhood friends, former classmates - Dmitry Rozhdestvensky and Vladislav Reznik.

Rozhdestvensky - musician, director. Reznik - former athlete, stuntman at Lenfilm. And besides - a mafioso, a close friend of the authorities Ilya Traber (Antiquarian) and Gennady Petrov (Gena Petrov) from the so-called. Tambov-Malyshev OPG. It took shape in the late 1980s. In 1989, they were divided into Tambov and Malyshev, of which the former later gained special fame, in fact becoming the largest gang in the city.

These are the friends that were (and are) the founder of Russian Video, Vladislav Reznik. And for the last 15 years, under Putin, Reznik has been a State Duma deputy of all convocations (from “ United Russia", naturally). Since 2016, Deputy Reznik, along with Traber and Gena Petrov, has been wanted by Interpol in the case of the “Russian mafia” in Spain.

June 2008, Spain. The arrest of Gena Petrov by the Spanish police.

Well, in 1990, Russian Video, together with the regional committee of the CPSU, established the Rossiya Bank. Reznik in 1990-91 was in this bank deputy. chairman of the board. It turned out such a joint bank of the CPSU and the mafia. Since 1992, when Russian Video withdrew from the bank's shareholders, Reznik and Rozhdestvensky each went their own way. Reznik began to develop the insurance business, left for Moscow, was a top manager of Rossgosstrakh in the 90s. After an unsuccessful attempt to privatize it, he went into politics.

Deputy Reznik in the Duma.

As for Rozhdestvensky or "Dim Dimych", as he was called, he remained in the "Russian Video". But only the “Russian Video” itself has changed a lot. On its basis, a dozen and a half private firms with the same name were created, which were engaged in different types activities (legal and illegal). Those. Russian Video has turned into a diversified concern.

The leadership has also changed. Now Rozhdestvensky managed everything in tandem with a certain Vladimir Grunin, a retired KGB colonel who oversaw the illegal part.

Russian Video is the dashing 90s in all its glory. Whatever they were doing. Here and cinema (including video piracy), and a casino. And his own TV channel - the 11th channel in St. Petersburg, now TNT. And smuggling - they had a naval base in Lomonosov on lease, where all the cargo went without customs. And more drugs, and cashed out with a cut of budget funds.

This is a well-known St. Petersburg journalist and political scientist Dmitry Zapolsky, who in the 90s worked on the Russian Video TV channel (hosted the author's program).

Dmitry knew the leadership of Russian Video well, as well as Putin, Sobchak, and many criminal leaders of the city. In an interview with Russian Monitor in 2015, Zapolsky recalled:

“In the 1990s, Putin oversaw the port of Lomonosov, it was a military base, where he had “his” admiral. And through this hole hundreds, and maybe thousands of tons of cargo were imported and exported daily without any registration. There were no customs, no border guards, no counterintelligence. Funny! Cocaine in St. Petersburg was like toothpowder. Generally everywhere. Even in Smolny, especially smart guys (...)

The port of Lomonosov itself formally belonged to the Russian Video company, which was controlled, on the one hand, by Kumarin, but was led by Mikhail Mirilashvili. The head of the company, Dmitry Rozhdestvensky, maintained warm relations with Putin, Chubais, and Narusova».

Naval base in Lomonosov on the outskirts of the Great Port of St. Petersburg. In the 90s - the main hole in the sea border of Russia:

Putin's "own admiral" in Lomonosov is Vladimir Grishanov, commander of the Leningrad naval base in 1993-95. It was he who leased the port of Lomonosov to the bandits.

Admiral Grishanov. Commander of the Naval Forces of the Tambov organized criminal group.

Kumarin and Mirilashvili, who controlled Russian Video and the port of Lomonosov, are Kum and Misha Kutaissky, respectively, the leaders of the two largest organized crime groups in the city. The backbone of the Kuma gang was made up of athletes, the gangs of Misha Kutaisi were people from the village of Kulashi in western Georgia (the place of compact residence of Georgian Jews). Mirilashvili's father was a major guild worker in Soviet times. Such an old mafia dynasty.

Mikhail Mirilashvili in the 90s was the president (head of the Board of Directors) of Russian Video. Dim Dimych Rozhdestvensky (General Director) provided current management. Colonel Grunin looked after him. That's how they worked.

October 2015 Delegation of the Russian Jewish Congress in Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu embraces Misha Kutaisi (far left).

Roof "Russian video" it was not only bandits. Driving smuggling (including cocaine) through the naval base is not an easy task. Therefore, the bandits were supervised by Putin. He did this through his friend and trusted person in criminal world- Roma Tsepova (aka Roma Producer).

Roma Tsepov:

Roma Tsepov, a former officer of the VV, was the leader of his own "Cop gang" (that was the name of the brigades from among the former policemen, Chekists, VV officers, etc.). Roma knew both the main gangsters in Russian Video (both Kuma and Misha) well, and it was more convenient for Putin to work through him.

In fact, Russian Video had a so-called. "striped roof": bandits and cops / security officers in one bottle:

It remains to be added that in the early 90s Roma Tsepov cobbled together his gang together with the Chekist Zolotov (Sobchak's bodyguard, in the 2000s Putin's head of security). Now, as you know, Zolotov has a new important job - the National Guard of the Russian Federation. Such a striped cop gang for 400 thousand people.

In general, Petersburg is the birthplace of striped roofs. This is where they first appeared. Putin and Zolotov are the living embodiment of this phenomenon.

The photo below was taken in New York in August 2000. All the Chekists are here (from left to right): Zolotov (Putin's head of security), Murov (director of the FSO), Kutafin and Tretyakov (SVR residents in the USA).

Tretyakov was already working for the CIA. Soon he will become a defector. Based on conversations with him, journalist Peter Erli will write a book (“Comrade Zh”). It contains this interesting passage:

“When, in 2000, in NY Zolotov (the leader's guard) arrived with a company, to ensure the security of the president's visit, they were accompanied by the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service in this city, Tretyakov - and, one evening, the company went to a restaurant on Brighton Beach. There, Zolotov, according to Tretyakov, began to show off his hand-to-hand fighting skills - and, for no apparent reason, suddenly, with a flourish, hit Tretyakov in the forehead with his fist. Tretyakov flew off his chair to the floor and lost consciousness for a few seconds. Murov (head of the FSO) burst into swearing at Zolotov: “You could have killed him!” Zolotov apologized. After the visit, Tretyakov remembered the words of Deputy Murov about his boss and Zolotov - “Yes, they are all ordinary bandits there ...”

Firm "Zolotov, Kadyrov and sons". Bandits in the service of the bandit regime.

Returning to Russian Video, it is worth noting that the audience there was more colorful than just one-celled criminals like Zolotov. Both heads of the company (both Rozhdestvensky and Grunin) were seriously fond of medieval mysticism. They established their own knightly order (“The Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem”), declaring it a division of the Order of Malta in the Russian Federation. After that, they accepted each other into the “Knights of Malta”: Rozhdestvensky became the “grand prior” of the order, and Grunin became his deputy.

The Russian Video mansion on Kamenny Island was hung with symbols of all kinds of secret brotherhoods, from the Maltese to the Freemasons, under which gentlemen knights sat and resolved issues of cashing and cocaine.

Dmitry Rozhdestvensky (far left, with a glass) in the company of influential politicians of that time.

Grand Prior Dim Dimych, according to Zapolsky's memoirs, liked to drink and was constantly drunk at work. His deputy, the Knight of Malta Grunin, is described by Zapolsky as "a modest little man with a triangular belly," who in the KGB was engaged in "planning active operations." Active KGB operations are all sorts of dark things that Soviet intelligence did on the territory foreign countries: assassinations, support for terrorists, disinformation stuffing.

According to Zapolsky, Colonel Grunin, having left the KGB, did not leave the profession. Those. worked on assassination orders. For many years, Russian Video has seen a series of strange deaths of employees associated with various illegal operations. Zapolsky counted 14 such corpses in Russian Video.

Then all of a sudden healthy person had an asthma attack, another had a heart attack, a third fainted while driving. When the tax police came to Russian Video in 1998 with a check, the chief accountant died abruptly. Suddenly, I fell ill with no clear reason, and even the doctors of the Military Medical Academy could not determine what the matter was. Yes, in fact, the founder and director of Russian Video, Dim Dimych, did not live long - he died at the age of 48 from a heart attack in 2002.

Rozhdestvensky's grave in St. Petersburg. A monument in the form of a piano (because a musician), a Catholic cross (because a knight of Malta), an Orthodox priest with a censer. Everything is as it should be.

In general, contract killings in gangster Petersburg with the use of SVR and GRU specialists is a separate issue. Every serious organized crime group has its own killer brigade. There was one in the "Lake", from the former Spartazov, military saboteurs.

This Putin brigade of killers was the first to come up with the idea of ​​blowing up hexogen in residential buildings. In October 1998, Dmitry Filippov, one of the richest businessmen in the city, was killed this way. He sponsored the opposition to Yeltsin, was a friend of Seleznev, the then speaker of the State Duma from the KRPF. Possessing extensive information about the St. Petersburg criminal cases, Filippov helped the investigation of the Prosecutor General against Sobchak and his team, which had been going on since 1996. His activity also threatened Putin, who since July 1998 took over as director of the FSB.

Filippov, apparently, was expecting an assassination attempt, he went with serious guards. But the professionals did it. Hexogen was laid in the ceiling of the entrance to his house and blown up by radio signal when he entered it.

The murder was attributed to the Shutov (Titych) gang, with whom Putin and Sobchak also had long-standing scores. They killed two birds with one stone, in short. This, by the way, is "planning of active operations." Not just to kill, but to translate arrows. True, Shutov and his criminals had no motive for committing such a crime. But these are all trifles.

And a year after that, before the elections, hexogen began to explode in Moscow ...

After 2000, the organized crime group expanded in breadth and depth. Now Putin has no shortage of killers. There is a private army of Kadyrov-Zolotov (battalions "North", "South"). But it's true, bastards. Putin also has a more serious private army - PMC Wagner(Private military company Wagner). It is based in St. Petersburg. In 2015-16 these mercenaries became famous in the rear of the DPR-LPR, where they killed objectionable field commanders, Cossacks.

Wagner is the pseudonym of their commander, Spetsnaz Lieutenant Colonel Dmitry Utkin. It so happened that in his views Utkin is a Nazi and a fan of the Third Reich, hence the "Wagner" (the composer who sang "Aryan" pagan mysticism). Wagners and Kadyrovtsy are private armies of the times of developed Putinism. These are no longer the killer brigades from the 90s. This is a new step.

In general, in a developed mafia state, private armies are normal. For example, in Colombia, the mafia also has its own armies. The Cali cartel had a private army, Los Pepes, in the 90s. She fought with the PMCs of the Medellin cartel. For what? - For the right to supply cocaine to the port of Lomonosov as well. Why is Putin's organized crime group worse than Medellin? - Yes, she is cooler!

4. Raw materials in exchange for theft

On April 25, 2005, in the Kremlin's Marble Hall, Mikhal Ivanych gave a speech to the Federal Assembly:

In it he said, in part:

“The collapse of the Soviet Union was the biggest geopolitical catastrophe of the century. For the Russian people, it has become a real drama ... "

Well, and further there, how the Russian people suffered during the collapse of the USSR, how they became impoverished, how “oligarchic groups”, acting for their own selfish purposes, robbed them, etc. The speech was interrupted by applause 26 times. Deputy Reznik from the Malyshev organized crime group gave a standing ovation (just kidding).

Everything is fine, but there is a legitimate question: what did Mikhail Ivanovich himself do at the turn of 1991-92, when the USSR collapsed? Probably, he didn’t sleep at night, he was worried. Such a disaster all around! I propose to take a closer look at the affairs of the vice-mayor of St. Petersburg Putin in the winter of 1991-92.

At the end of 1991, this man was passing through St. Petersburg:

This is American photographer Dick Arnold. Former military pilot, Vietnam War veteran. In that war, the Americans fought with North Vietnam, and in fact - with the USSR, which stood behind it. It was a "hot" episode of the long-term Cold War Soviet Union and USA.

Dick Arnold came to St. Petersburg when the Cold War was coming to an end. USSR survived last days. Arnold walked around the city, filmed the lines for bread, the downcast faces of the vanquished, the devastation. About how Soviet photojournalists walked around Berlin in May 1945.

He called this photo: “All day in line” (all day in line).

But his most striking impression was this woman (second from the right), whom he saw in line for bread.

Many years later, Dick Arnold said that he remembered this look for the rest of his life:

Yeah. A man stood (was forced to stand!) in line for food. 46 years after the war in the USSR, in Leningrad, there was again nothing to eat. The queue was a humiliation. And then there's the foreign photographer. The woman struggled to maintain her dignity in this, in general, shameful situation. "If looks could kill, she would have killed me" Arnold recalled.

Then he tried to go into the store to take pictures of the people and the empty shelves inside. He was nearly beaten. “I was forced to flee,” he says.

This could very well be. In 1990-91. in the USSR, people in queues often lost their human appearance, fights and aggression broke out. A foreigner from a well-fed America who came to take pictures, like an excursion to a zoo or a cabinet of curiosities, could fall under a hot hand.

Leningrad, November 1990. Wine shop near Five Corners.

The disappearance of lines for bread and vodka in Russia after 1991 is the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century. We all mourn that great era.

The agony of the USSR ended on December 25, 1991. Around seven in the evening, Gorbachev announced his resignation, and half an hour later two tipsy workers from the Kremlin's servants climbed onto the roof of the Grand Kremlin Palace and removed the red flag. There were no honors or ceremonies. Truly an inglorious end.

The end of the USSR did not cause any emotions in anyone. The people were muzzled with queues, poverty, a mess. The former government was completely bankrupt.

Well, something like this, yes:

And only Mikhal Ivanovich did not sleep that night. Sobbed. A catastrophe, terrible, geopolitical, was coming and forcing him to act before it was too late. As early as December 4, 1991, he wrote a letter to Moscow, to the government, with business proposals.

It is clear from Putin's letter to Moscow that he is eager to save hometown from hunger. There are heaps of raw materials in warehouses in the Leningrad Region, he writes. Oil products, metals, timber. Do not waste good. Let's push it all abroad. And I will spend the money on buying food for the city. I promise! But most importantly, give me the right to issue export licenses myself.

As soon as Moscow gave the go-ahead, Putin immediately developed a frantic activity. He put together a group of specially selected people (friends, colleagues in the KGB, classmates at the university) and began to issue them licenses to export raw materials. Some were carrying oil products, others - aluminum, others - rare metals, timber, etc.

True, the firms to which he gave licenses were somehow strange. Or in general, the left, which then simply could not find (and the money too). Or they seem to be normal, but with such prices in contracts that raw materials were sold almost for nothing. For example, rare metals were taken out by an office called "Jikop". Below expert review prices for metals in a contract with her, which was later made by the deputy commission of the Petrosoviet (the so-called Salie commission):

Niobium - the price is underestimated by 7 times, cerium - by 10 times, scandium - by 2000 times. Why did Putin and his PIC sign contracts on such strange terms? - To steal money. Together with especially close businessmen, of course.

By the way, "Jikop" is the company of Putin's classmate at Leningrad State University Ilham Ragimov from Azerbaijan. Now, as usual, he is a billionaire, co-owner of the largest Moscow markets and hotels. And it all started with scandium.

Interestingly, the licenses for "Jicop" and all the rest were issued by Putin's FAC for a rather narrow period of time: from 12/20/1991 to 01/13/1992. It can be said that Putin did not rest during those New Year holidays. Rushed to make money on "the biggest geopolitical catastrophe of the century".

Below is the very first license of Putin's FAC dated 12/20/1991. It was given to the Nevsky Dom company for the export of 150,000 tons of oil products to England for a total of $ 32 million:

As can be seen from the license, the refinery in Kirishi (Leningrad region) was the producer of petroleum products. At that time, Gennady Timchenko was in charge of export there. An experienced person in foreign trade, a Chekist, a friend of Mikhal Ivanych. But go ahead: it was not the plant itself that sent 150,000 oil products to England, but an unknown intermediary company. Documents from her were signed by certain Witenberg and Rusakov.

In 2008, when Timchenko was already a dollar billionaire, the Financial Times wrote about these deliveries through Nevsky Dom. Timchenko was indignant, made a refutation:

“The article says that I owned a company that “received a large export quota in Putin’s scandalous oil-for-food scheme.” I repeat - not me. The company that received the quota was, again, the state-owned Kirishineftekhimexport, of which I was an employee. I did not participate in this scheme. I don't remember any scandal. As far as I remember, the company delivered the food as promised.”

Chekist Timchenko has something with his memory. At the beginning of 1992, Marina Salier's commission found out that Kirishi diesel fuel and gasoline went abroad, but not through Kirishineftekhimexport (the official exporter at the plant), but through the left-handed company Nevsky Dom. Neither she nor the money was ever seen again. To whom Vova Putin gave the right to export oil products was not clear. Without the help of the investigating authorities in any case.

Chekist Gena Timchenko, nicknamed "Gangrene". In Putin's team since 1991.

We must pay tribute to the abilities of Michal Ivanych. The scam went well. Putin and his companions stole about 100 million dollars. Yes, but... after all, it was a half-starved city where people stood in lines for bread.

The question arises: in that situation of December 1991, who behaved more worthily - simple woman in line in front of the lens of a foreign photographer or Chekist marauder Putin, who tried to rob her in the end?

And what is most ridiculous, then this same KGB marauder also began to tell her on TV about the "major geopolitical catastrophe." On which he made the biggest loot. Bad situation, yes. This morality is called Chekism.

By the way, the guys from the future "Ozero" also participated in that Raw Materials in Exchange for Food scam. In July 2001, Italian journalists published in the Reppublika newspaper a major investigation into Putin's affairs in the 1990s. Including the scam with raw materials. So the Nevsky Dom company, which exported oil products and disappeared, according to the Italians, was controlled by Vladimir Smirnov from Ozero.

Other future summer residents were also noticed in this scam, namely the company NPP Quark (aka Stream Corporation since 1992). NPP Quark is Yakunin, Kosoy and the whole company. These guys helped with the export of aluminum and other metals. Like it or not, the Lakers started out as a gang of marauders. But why did you start? - They have remained so.

During the collapse of the USSR, Putin was an ordinary marauder, in the 90s - an ordinary bandit, after 2000 - an ordinary dictator of the Third World. And his lake lads followed him. The time will come, and a monument will be erected to this era. I even know which one. It will be Dzerzhinsky. With cello.

What do you see in this photo?
If you see only a river, dachas, forest edges and mushroom clearings on it, then take a closer look.

Over there, right in the center of the photo, you see the perfect explanation of why the Toad_on_Pipe political regime is so vehemently refusing to ratify Article 20. The UN Convention on Combating Corruption reacts so painfully to attempts to introduce an article "illicit enrichment" into the Criminal Code.

If these measures were implemented, then this photo would bring big problems to some guys in the Kremlin and United Russia.

I explain in more detail and I am sure you will like this story.

This is the village of Leshkovo, Istra district, Moscow region. It is there that these wonderful rich palaces stand,

Now about each section separately. In the order, so to speak, of increasing interest.

One of them belongs to a "simple miner" and Secretary of the General Council of the "United Russia" party Sergei Neverov.

A question for everyone: can we believe for a second that an apartment of 67 meters in Novokuznetsk is comparable in cost to a huge plot on the banks of the Moskva River and a house that is probably twice as large as the main palace of pioneers in Novokuznetsk?

Of course not. We understand that Neverov is a disgusting liar and bribe taker, like everyone else in United Russia. And his mysterious sources of income are explained by only one word: "corruption".

Well, okay, rather already to the neighbors.
Meet Igor Nikolaevich Rudensky


http://www.duma.gov.ru/structure/deputies/131170/

Prominent United Russia member and Chairman of the Committee on economic policy State Duma.

With economic policy, Deputy Rudensky is doing very, very well.

Nikolai Ivanovich himself claims "Such construction projects as for the APEC summit are a recipe for a crisis." We can agree with this if we mean the crisis of the personal budget.
United Russia Ashlapov successfully overcame such a crisis, as can be seen from the size of his dacha.
The cost of the plot with the house is approximately 178 million rubles .

Apparently, in order not to suggest obvious parallels between the high cost of construction projects supervised by United Russia Ashlapov and the size of his estate, Nikolai Ivanovich did not declare it in full.

The actual site consists of three cadastral:

• Plot #1, area 11347 sq.m.


• Plot #2, 750 sq.m.


• Plot #3, with an area of ​​237 sq.m.

There are no second or third sections in the declaration.

We move on to the next, very wonderful neighbor.

Beautiful? It is immediately clear that a person with modern concepts of a country house lives here.
A European lives here.

Let's take a closer look at the biography of Sergei Eduardovich:

• In 1986-1987, he was an attaché, third secretary of the Directorate of the Socialist Countries of Europe of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs.


• In 1992-1993 - Second Secretary, First Secretary of the Russian Embassy in the Czechoslovakia.


• In 1993-1997, he was the head of a department, head of a department, deputy director of a department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.


• Since April 9, 1997 - Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation.


• Since September 14, 1998 - Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation.


• Since February 2, 1999 - Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation - Head of the Office of the President of the Russian Federation for Foreign Policy.


• Since March 26, 2004 - Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation.


• Since May 21, 2012 - First Deputy Head of the Government Office of the Russian Federation


• Since May 9, 2013 - Acting Head of the Office of the Government of the Russian Federation.


• Since May 22, 2013 - Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation and Head of the Office of the Government of the Russian Federation.

He has been in the civil service all his life. We can say that he dedicated it to us.
Servant of the people.

Let's look at income:
The meaning is simple:

Cunning United Russia swindlers figured out how to avoid declaring the plots that belong to them, and established a special "Country Non-Commercial Partnership", for which they decided to register part of their land. But United Russia's cunning plan was not so cunning. The fact is that it is necessary to declare not only what belongs directly to an individual, but also what is in actual use, and it doesn't matter who owns it : even a dacha partnership, even a mother-in-law, even an offshore company in the British Virgin Islands. This, by the way, explains the different dates of the purchase of plots by Sergei Prikhodko: he simply re-registered the plot belonging to him from a "dacha partnership" to himself.

In addition to the plots where United Russia residents live, Dachny Non-Commercial Partnership owns about 100,000 sq.m. land, including the burial mound of the XI-XII centuries, which is a monument of federal significance.

Here I would have moved on to organizational conclusions and moralizing, but we, while dealing with this case, noticed a strange thing.

Let's take another look at the two-year-old satellite image and our latest photo.

We see two changes

1. On the left, United Russia has another neighbor


2. The fences of Neverov, Rudensky and Ashlapov now stand close to the river

Who is this new neighbor?

And this is Nikolai Sergeevich Shustenko, president of the Basis Group of Companies.
His business is also closely connected with budget money, just like he himself is with his neighbors in the country.
In the last couple of years alone, his companies have won tenders for more than 5 billion rubles, mainly for the improvement of areas in the north of Moscow.

Here is the second section:

United Russia Neverov got 2140 sq.m from this site. (cost $428,000), United Russia Rudensky 4250 sq.m. (cost $ 850,000), United Russia Ashpalov 9600 sq.m. (cost $1920000).

Thus, we fix the fact: Deputy Neverov, Deputy Rudensky and former Deputy Ashlapov received income in kind from businessman Shustenko. He bought the land and gave it to the use and disposal of these swindlers.
The crooks have taken the land, stand on it and fence it off with fences.

The Anti-Corruption Foundation considers this a bribe that was paid to high-ranking United Russia officials for unknown services. Perhaps "help" in winning tenders for landscaping.

If Neverov, Rudensky and Ashlapov want to prove otherwise to us, then let them show the documents according to which the land was donated or sold to them, show that they paid income tax (if they donated) and explain why the land was not declared.

Well, now the moral part:
I hope you once again understand why United Russia and the Kremlin are so against the introduction of "illegal enrichment" into the Criminal Code.
If such an article existed, then all these miracle summer residents would be in the dock, where they would have to explain how much money all this was bought with.

I hope you all understand how important it is to support common struggle all normal people for the ratification of Article 20 of the UN Convention against Corruption and the introduction of this very "illicit enrichment".

Part practical:
During this investigation, the Anti-Corruption Foundation found:

1. High-ranking civil servant Volodin violated the current anti-corruption legislation and filed an incorrect declaration of property, where he did not indicate most of the land on which his estate is located. We demand an official investigation and the dismissal of Volodin from public service.
Here is our official letter on the subject.
2. United Russia deputies Neverov and Rudensky, as well as former deputy Ashlapov, violated anti-corruption laws and provided incorrect information in their property declaration. We demand official recognition of this fact and the expulsion of crooks from the State Duma. We expect United Russia to expel these people from the party.
We ask the media to make official requests on this topic, since we ourselves cannot formally do this.
3. We accuse deputies Neverov, Rudensky and former deputy Ashlapov of taking a bribe from businessman Shustenko and demand a criminal investigation. Statement .
4. We believe that the property owned by civil servant Prikhodko is not even close to his income, and we demand that he explain the origin of the funds.

Part of cooperation and nationwide cooperation.
We would love for you to help us spread this information. Surely, after all, the citizens of the Russian Federation will be curious to look at the dachas of "servants of the people" and together with us ask "what kind of money"?

We made such a wonderful site: http://dacha.fbk.info/

It will be very cool if you spread the link http://dacha.fbk.info/ wherever you can.

Any non-political blogs, communities are especially good.
This information is of interest to everyone.

If you have an account in Odnoklassniki, then please post it there (or ask your parents) and encourage everyone to spread the link.
Odnoklassniki is a social network where a bunch of people aged 50+ sit, who use the Internet, but don’t read any LiveJournal / Facebook - let's try to get them.

Well, of course, Twitter, VK, FB, that's all.

LiveJournal now allows embedding tweets, not just their pictures. If you click "retweet" right here, you'll be great:

Well, and a big thank you, of course, to the FBK employees who worked on this investigation. Separate.
