Alexei Kudrin's daughter Polina was in an SUV driven by a man posing as the son of the city governor.

As 5 Wheel writes, the accident occurred at the corner of Nevsky and Liteyny Prospekt. The person responsible for the accident in a Range Rover SUV collided with a sprinkler, after which he was spun to the side and thrown into a store window. As eyewitnesses of the accident noted, almost immediately the license plates were removed from the foreign car, and the man behind the wheel called himself either the son of the governor, or her nephew, or simply an adviser to the head of the city on intkbbee important matters.

As it turned out later, the man who was involved in a car accident at night on Nevsky Prospekt and introduced himself as a relative of the governor of the Northern capital really bears the surname Matvienko. However, Valentina Ivanovna’s son Sergei Matvienko denied information about his participation in an accident on Nevsky, saying, firstly, that his car is in Estonia, and, secondly, he could not possibly be driving an SUV, since he uses exclusively the services of a driver . The governor’s son called the situation that happened at night on Nevsky a provocation.

As it turned out, the man who was driving - Mikhail Matvienko - really has nothing to do with the city governor. The adopted son of a famous businessman, Mikhail currently lives and studies in London, occasionally coming to St. Petersburg.

Meanwhile, it turned out that Polina Kudrina, the 23-year-old daughter of Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, was in his car.

As Life News reports, a source in the St. Petersburg traffic police said that the man was drunk at the wheel. He practically fell asleep while walking. In the car with him were another young man and Polina Kudrina, who was sitting in the back seat of the SUV. She received quite serious injuries. Doctors insisted on hospitalization.

Now Polina is in one of the elite clinics in St. Petersburg. The girl, who received a serious concussion as a result of a night traffic accident, according to her, does not feel well.

In the northern capital, the daughter of the head of the Ministry of Finance has her own company, Art Center Grand Prix, which offers St. Petersburg residents training in vocals, acting, and music theory.

Alexey Leonidovich Kudrin – economist (PhD degree), from 2000 to 2011 – Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation. Almost the entire term he combined this position with the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation. He always advocated limiting government spending, for which he received the nickname “Mr. No” from the lips of Mikhail Delyagin. In 2005, he was recognized as the best finance minister of the year according to the British publication The Banker. He was dismissed after a public conflict with President Dmitry Medvedev (Kudrin refused to work in the government under Medvedev's leadership).

After leaving the civil service, Alexey Leonidovich returned to scientific activity and headed the board of trustees of the Institute of Economic Policy named after. E. Gaidar. Since April 2012, he has been the chairman of the Committee of Civil Initiatives, within the framework of which he develops strategies for the further development of the country.

Childhood and youth of the future politician

Alexey Leonidovich Kudrin was born into the military family of Leonid Kudrin, who worked with secret documents. Leonid met his future wife Zinta Miller, who had recently returned to her homeland from exile in Siberia, in Dobele in the 50s. The woman worked as an accountant - perhaps it was from her that the future Russian Finance Minister inherited his love of numbers and analytics.

The boy went to first grade in Latvia, but then, due to his father’s service, he often changed schools: Mongolia, Chita, Arkhangelsk... At comprehensive school No. 17 in Arkhangelsk, he received a certificate of secondary education.

After graduation, he worked for 2 years as an auto mechanic and practical training instructor at the Academy of Transport and Logistics of the USSR Ministry of Defense in the propulsion laboratory, while simultaneously receiving an education at the Faculty of Economics of Leningrad State University (evening course). By the third year he transferred to the “glasses” class. During my studies, I became friends with Andrei Illarionov (during Vladimir Putin’s first presidential term, he was the president’s adviser on economic issues).

Kudrin's faculty had a military department, so he graduated from the university with the rank of reserve lieutenant. In 1983, Alexey Kudrin received a diploma, and in 1988 he completed graduate school at the Institute of Economics of the USSR Academy of Sciences and began his scientific activity at the same educational institution.

Carier start

From 1983 to 1985 and from 1988 to 1990, Alexey Kudrin took an active part in the work of the Leningrad Institute, specializing in the study and analysis of socio-economic problems. He was one of the members of a group led by Anatoly Borisovich Chubais, which developed new concepts for a free enterprise zone.

Already in 1990, Kudrin became deputy chairman of the committee on economic reforms, which was created in the Executive Committee of the Leningrad City Council. In the fall of 1991, he served as deputy chairman of the committee for managing the free enterprise zone at the St. Petersburg City Hall.

From 1991 to 1992, Alexey was appointed to the post of deputy chairman of the committee dealing with economic development and investment policy. For a short time (from 1992 to 1993), Kudrin was the head of the Main Financial Directorate, after which at the beginning of 1993 he headed the mayor's committee on finance and economics in St. Petersburg.

An important period in the life of Alexei Leonidovich was 1994, when he was appointed deputy mayor of St. Petersburg, but already in 1996 he left his post and resigned.

During 1996-1997, Kudrin headed the Main Control Directorate and at the same time was the deputy head of the Administration of the Russian Federation, Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin. A little later (from 1997 to 1999), the politician acted as deputy to Anatoly Chubais, Minister of Finance. Vladimir Putin was announced as his successor and head of the Main Control Directorate. At the end of 1999, he became first deputy chairman of the board of JSC UES of Russia.

In 2000, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin initiated the appointment of Kudrin to the post of Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation and Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation. Alexey Leonidovich headed such responsible posts until the spring of 2001, and only in 2011 he was expelled from all government positions at the suggestion of Dmitry Medvedev - when Medvedev’s presidency was coming to an end, it was clear that after the elections he would head the Government of the Russian Federation. Kudrin refused to work under such leadership, and also predicted the coming decline of the economy and a new round of crisis. Considering that shortly before this, Kudrin criticized the creation of Medvedev’s brainchild - the Skolkovo scientific base - Dmitry Anatolyevich accused Alexei Leonidovich of insubordination and dismissed the minister. Anton Siluanov became the new head of the Ministry of Finance.

In mid-2011, Kudrin became dean at St. Petersburg University and headed the Faculty of Arts and Liberal Sciences.

Awards and honorary titles of Alexey Kudrin

Alexey Leonidovich defended his dissertation and has an academic degree of Candidate of Economic Sciences. He is the author of a collection of scientific papers in the field of finance and economics, which are devoted to antimonopoly policy and competition in the Soviet economy.

Kudrin is an honorary professor at the University of Edinburgh, Dagestan State University, Buryat Dagestan University, and an honorary doctor of the Northern Federal University. He was awarded the title of the best minister of Eastern and Central Europe.

Among the main awards it is worth noting:
- medal of the 1st degree P.A. Stolypin;
- Orders of Merit for the Fatherland, III and IV degrees, which were awarded for invaluable contribution to financial public policy and for conscientious work over many years;
- a certificate of honor awarded by the President of the Russian Federation for active government activities;

Personal life of Alexei Kudrin

Alexey Leonidovich is in his second marriage to journalist Irina Tintyakova. Before her marriage, she served as secretary to Andrei Trapeznikov, who served as press attache to A.B. Chubais. Currently he heads the Russian charitable foundation “Northern Crown”, which provides assistance to boarding schools and orphanages. From this marriage a son, Artem, was born.

Kudrin's first wife is St. Petersburg businessman Veronika Sharova. She gave Alexei Leonidovich a daughter, Polina Kudrina. Currently, she is the founder of Art Center Grand Prix LLC.

In winter, the whole Kudrin family goes to the ski resorts of snowy Austria.

Alexey Kudrin now

Kudrin is currently the chief researcher at the Institute. E.T. Gaidar (economic policy), holds the post of chairman of the Civil Initiatives Committee, is on the editorial board of the Economic Policy magazine, and is also a member of the Internet portal of the same name. The appointment of Alexey Leonidovich to the Economic Council in 2016 clearly indicated that interesting and unexpected turns could appear in his career as a statesman.

In May 2017, Kudrin presented Vladimir Putin with projects for the further economic development of the country, in which the emphasis was on the development of technology, human capital and reforming the activities of government bodies.

In May 2018, Vladimir Putin again became president of the Russian Federation, after which the government was dissolved. Dmitry Medvedev retained the post of prime minister. At the same time, United Russia decided to nominate Kudrin for the post of head of the Accounts Chamber, which was previously held by

The school where art history is taught by Ivan Chechot, Ksenia Malich and Dmitry Ozerkov is what what St. Petersburg clearly lacked. Its creator Polina Bondareva talks about how and why the Masters project was founded.

How did it happen that a law graduate decided to start a school where you can listen to lectures on the history of art and cinema?

From my youth I was interested in art, attended exhibitions, and at one time I was lucky to meet gallery owner Marina Gisich, who took me under her wing. We traveled a lot together, went to European art fairs, met with private collectors, and studied corporate collections. And over these ten years they became close friends. Marina is the godmother of my children.

Having graduated from the Faculty of Law of St. Petersburg State University, having given birth to two children, by the age of twenty-eight I realized that the scope of my interests had gradually changed, and I entered the Academy of Arts. Unfortunately, you can only get a second higher education in the field of art history at the academy through correspondence study, which, in my opinion, does not involve deep immersion: usually you have two weeks of lectures per semester and then a session. Many people do this for the sake of getting a certificate, to obtain a tour guide’s license, but I had a different goal. The first year I went to lectures with the freshmen from nine to six. We had wonderful teachers, and I fondly remember the months spent in the library: my husband did not believe that you could sit for six or seven hours and write term papers. It was a challenge for me, I passed all the exams with flying colors. During my studies, I realized that many students might want to study, but for themselves, and not for the sake of exams. So I came up with the idea to create my own educational project: take the best teachers - this is our calling card - and give students the opportunity to choose exactly those subjects that are really interesting to them. This format exists in the West and also at the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences of St. Petersburg State University. Teachers from the Academy of Arts and St. Petersburg State University formed the backbone of the school. Today, many lecturers come on their own: we have specialists from the Russian Museum and the Hermitage.

What kind of investments did you have?

Initial investment is a very big desire, a down payment on rent.

More than a million rubles?

The investment to start your own business may be less than a million. Of course, some renovations needed to be done. I did not use the services of architects and designers; due to my experience, I draw and draw myself - this is a big savings.

Was the room we are in created by you?

Yes, even the library was drawn by me manually.

And the picture behind me too? Are you planning to become an artist?

Before entering the Academy of Arts, I painted for six months with a teacher. And now in the summer we had an experiment, a master class with the artist Katya Krasnaya, we painted large canvases, 2 x 1.5 m, in the style of abstraction. For many it is an expression of their emotions, and I think it turned out great. Of course, when you paint, you get involved in it - I’ve already given canvases to my husband, I bought myself a canvas for the dacha, but so far I don’t have enough free time.

You are not a very public person. Your spouse's last name. Not many people know that your father is Alexey Kudrin, dean of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences at St. Petersburg State University and former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. How did your parents react to the idea of ​​creating a school?

I am lucky with my family - my parents have always supported me in all my endeavors. First of all, my mother was involved in my upbringing. I sang in the choir, performed as a soloist, and participated in a theater studio. I played a lot of basketball and was the captain of the team. I played chess with my dad since childhood. It is thanks to my father that I love music very much: Alexey Leonidovich loves opera, follows premieres, and often makes special trips to new productions. We are still in close contact with him to this day, we try to travel together once a year, or even more often, but now with his grandchildren. We keep family traditions.

How did you celebrate your school's birthday?

On October 28, the school turned one year old. We opened a second room next to the main office, on Italianskaya, 17. This is a children's class - classes in art and additional development of children and a lecture hall for fifty people. We have prepared an exhibition of contemporary art: works from the galleries of Marina Gisich and Anna Nova. And, of course, there was a discussion about contemporary art with the participation of our lecturers: Alexey Boyko, Dmitry Ozerkov, Ivan Chechot, Gleb Ershov. I will share my plans for the future: for example, in our new educational year, Ksenia Malich will give lectures on design. It will be interesting!

KUDRIN Alexey Leonidovich

Place of work

Government of the Russian Federation

Job title

Since 2000 - Minister of Finance, since 2007 - Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation.

Participation in business

As a civil servant, he personally did not have the right to engage in business. The declared income of Alexey Kudrin in 2008 amounted to 5.690 million rubles, in 2009 - 9.239 million rubles, in 2010 - 7.857 million rubles. At the end of 2009, the minister owned an Audi A6 car, and since 2010, a Ford Thinkcity-Electric electric car, the car is not yet sold in Russia, the estimated cost is more than 2 million rubles. Kudrin does not own any real estate - his wife provided him with an apartment with an area of ​​327.9 square meters for free use. m.

Impact on business

Since 1991, Alexey Kudrin worked in the mayor's office of St. Petersburg, and since 1993 - as chairman of the Committee on Economics and Finance (KEF). This structure appeared in the investigation into the activities of the real estate company Renaissance. Its owner, Anna Evglevskaya, according to the Kommersant newspaper, “built luxury housing and gave it away to city officials as bribes,” for which she was arrested and convicted. During the investigation, Evglevskaya named the leaders of the St. Petersburg mayor's office whose services she paid for. According to press publications, she said that for $54 thousand she organized the resettlement of an apartment that bordered the mayor’s apartment through the wall, which was very profitable for the mayor of St. Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak. According to the testimony of a realtor, the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case against the mayor of St. Petersburg, who fled the country. A number of city hall employees, including the future head of the department for supporting the activities of the reception and office of the President of Russia, Viktor Kruchinin, were arrested.

• Is Kudrin preparing Russia for total unemployment?

Chairman of the St. Petersburg Creative Union of Journalists, head of the media holding “AZHUR” Andrei Bakonin (Konstantinov), citing sources in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, indicates that “in March-April 1995, Anna Anatolyevna [Evglevskaya] transferred 10 thousand dollars to one of the leaders of the Economics Committee and finance of St. Petersburg. The official facilitated the illegal signing of documents,” according to which several hundred million rubles were received, allegedly intended for the repair of the heating main. This episode was described in the press with a mention of KEF Deputy Chairman Sergei Vyazalov in 1996, during the election of the mayor of St. Petersburg. Vyazalov and Kudrin were not charged.

Two years later, Kudrin testified in criminal case No. 694259, which was conducted regarding abuses in the funeral industry. This area of ​​urban management was supervised by the former vice-mayor of St. Petersburg, Vladimir Putin. The order signed by him dated 07.10.1994 “On the activities of the Specialized Production and Household State Enterprise” (SPBGP) was attached to the case. The document mentioned the disposal of unclaimed bodies and the need to make changes to budget expenditures. Putin entrusted control over the implementation of his orders to Alexei Kudrin. According to investigators, the number of unclaimed bodies in St. Petersburg was systematically inflated, and funding was embezzled.

According to the story of Alfred Nobel’s family members living in Sweden, during their visit to St. Petersburg they had a personal meeting with the Chairman of the KEF. At the same time, Alexei Kudrin’s assistant took foreign currency (in Swedish kronor) to restore the neglected graves of the Nobels at the Smolensk Lutheran cemetery. According to the cemetery workers, this financial assistance did not reach them - minor repairs to the graves were carried out free of charge, by the ministers. According to the memoirs of the relatives of the founder of the Nobel Prize, during the investigation they were informed that in total it was a question of $40 thousand spent inappropriately. During interrogation, Alexey Kudrin admitted the fact of his contacts with the Nobels, but denied that he received money from them.

The head of the KEF and Vice-Mayor Vladimir Putin appear in the materials of criminal case No. 144128, initiated in 1999 in connection with the activities of the Twentieth Trust construction corporation (the head of the trust, Sergei Nikeshin, is a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg). The investigation used the results of an inspection of the enterprise, organized on behalf of the city UBEP by the Control and Audit Department (KRU) of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. According to the KRU act, Kudrin signed agreements to provide the corporation with state loans worth several million dollars. Money from the Twentieth Trust was transferred to more than two dozen companies in Spain, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, Ireland and the USA. The investigation was closed after the inauguration of Vladimir Putin as President of Russia. According to the leaders of the investigation team, unprecedented pressure was put on them.

In 2000, Alexey Kudrin was involved in criminal case No. 31913, having been summoned for questioning. The investigation was conducted regarding housing loans that Kudrin, while working at the mayor's office, distributed from the budget to his St. Petersburg employees since 1993.

Critics accused the Minister of Finance of lobbying the investment bank KIT Finance. Kommersant and other business media pointed out that KIT Finance had a “very strong lobby in the government.” Alexey Kudrin was a public supporter of the bank.

The activities of KIT Finance managers are connected with the history of the St. Petersburg bank Palmira, registered on April 29, 1992. Its founder and member of the board of directors in 1994-2004. there was a businessman Otar Margania - a native of the widely represented economic and informal power elite of St. Petersburg in the 1990s. communities of "Ebraeli" (Georgian Jews). He graduated from the same university with Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, maintaining close personal and business ties after the latter moved to Moscow. In 2000, Alexander Vinokurov, an acquaintance of Otar Margania, who worked at the investment company BALTONEXIM Finance, became the chairman of the board of directors of the bank. A year later, the institution was renamed Web-Invest Bank. In 2005, the bank changed its name again - to KIT-Finance.

After the appointment of Alexey Kudrin as minister, the mentioned persons figured in financial and political conflicts related to the struggle for control over the assets of the Russian diamond monopolist, AK ALROSA. A significant stake in the company belonged to the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). In 2001, during the presidential elections in Yakutia, BALTONEXIM Finance Investment Company Alexander Vinokurov filed a statement with the prosecutor’s office demanding that the head of the region, Mikhail Nikolaev, be brought to criminal liability under a number of articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - it was about late payments by the local Ministry of Finance. The Company magazine wrote that the actions of BALTONEXIM Finance could have been carried out at the request of Otar Margania, a freelance adviser to Alexey Kudrin. Under the threat of criminal prosecution, Nikolaev withdrew his candidacy, Vyacheslav Shtyrov won the election of the head of the republic, after which the board of directors of the ALROSA company was headed by the Minister of Finance of Russia.

• Alexey Kudrin acted as a mediator between the authorities and the opposition
  

After Kudrin entered the diamond mining industry in 2002, Web-Invest Bank, being a small St. Petersburg credit organization, became the underwriter of the bond issue of AK ALROSA and the general agent for organizing the bond issue of Yakutia. AK ALROSA began placing large sums on deposits in the bank of Alexander Vinokurov, supervised by Otar Marganiya - in particular, in 2004, temporarily available funds in the amount of $75 million were transferred to Web-Invest Bank.

Simultaneously with Alexey Kudrin, Fedorov Andreev was appointed to AK ALROSA - in the company he took the position of first vice president for finance. According to SPARK-Interfax, Alexander Vinokurov from April 1999 to January 2002. was listed as the general director of LenRos Invest CJSC. The founder of the CJSC was Fedor Andreev, Vinokurov’s colleague from work at Tveruniversalbank and BALTONEXIM Bank. From the quarterly reports of KIT-Finance it follows that in 2002 Andreev, through Composition-Asset Management LLC, controlled 19.99% of the bank.

In 2003-09 Vinokurov’s friend worked at Russian Railways OJSC, whose shares were placed with him by the same Web-Invest Bank. Since July 2009, Fedor Andreev returned to AK ALROSA, becoming its president and is currently the president. Until 2011, the Minister of Finance remained the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Directors of ALROSA.

The role of Alexander Vinokurov and his colleagues was considered technical - there is reason to believe that the strategy of property and financial transactions was formulated by Otar Margania on the basis of his relationship with Alexei Kudrin. Forbes magazine described the system for making key decisions in the Russian diamond industry: “The name of... Otar Margania is well known in the gemstone industry. He works as a freelance adviser to Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin. Kudrin heads the supervisory board of ALROSA and oversees the industry. And Margania, according to experts interviewed by Forbes, has great influence on the minister. Forbes’ interlocutors are also confident that it is his companies that now own a significant share of the shares of the investment group that are not controlled by ALROSA.”

“Investment group” means OJSC IG ALROSA. The main owner of this joint stock company, according to SPARK-Interfax, turned out to be private capital not associated with AK ALROSA. The monopoly transferred the largest promising deposits of gold and precious stones to the management of the group - up to 200 million carats of diamonds in the Arkhangelsk region and 700 tons of gold in Yakutia.

The ALROSA IG was formed from the structures of the Moscow Sobinbank, which was involved in the scandal of laundering billions of dollars through the American Bank of New York (BoNY). As Forbes reports, “at a hearing in the court of the Southern District of New York in the case of $15.3 million seized from the Sobinbank correspondent account in BoNY... the court agreed with the opinion of the American authorities that the Sobinbank correspondent account, like a number of other accounts , served as a “conduit for the clandestine transfers of approximately $7 billion from Russia to finance suspicious or illegal transactions.”

Since 2001, the chairman of the board of IG ALROSA has been the co-owner of Sobinbank, Khalid Aprilevich Omarov - in various official documents this person appears as Khalid April-ogly Omarov and Khalid Oprel-ogly Omarov. Until 1997, the banker lived in St. Petersburg, where, according to media reports, he met Otar Margania. The founder of the ALROSA IG was considered a businessman close to the Chechen community. In addition, information that has not been refuted until now has been published many times that Khalid Omarov is a close relative of cousins ​​Georgy Safiev and Imran Ilyasov. The first of them is the head of the Russian Capital bank, who was killed in 2002 in the USA. The second was convicted as the leader of the Kingisepp organized crime group, which specialized in contract killings.

IG ALROSA, whose curator Forbes calls Otara Margania, according to SPARK-Interfax, controlled shares of the KIT Finance bank through a number of legal entities. Thus, it can be assumed that the source of funds for the development of the KIT Finance bank could be income derived from the diamond mining industry.

The mechanism of transactions is described in open sources. Otar Margania is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bank Vozrozhdenie. In 2003, AK ALROSA placed 1.6 billion rubles into a deposit account with this organization. at 2% per annum in rubles. In any Russian bank under similar circumstances, ALROSA could receive at least 10% per annum.

According to one of the versions cited by Kommersant, the deposit became a condition for issuing loans for the purchase of 75% of the shares of the Moscow Stud Farm No. 1 (MKZ). This enterprise occupied land in the Rublevo-Uspenskoe highway area. By purchasing shares, their new owners intended to use the area for commercial development. As a result, as the Vedomosti newspaper reported, 900 hectares of land were bought by a group of investors led by Bank Vozrozhdenie and IG ALROSA. The total value of the land asset was determined at $3 billion.

News agencies at the same time described the assumptions of the former head of the legal department of AK ALROSA, Hamlet Akopyan, that “Alexey Kudrin and ALROSA President Alexander Nichiporuk were directly involved in the theft of company funds, possibly used to seize the lands of the Moscow Stud Farm No. 1.”

In his statement addressed to the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, Akopyan revealed the mechanism for purchasing the territory of the MKZ. According to this appeal, “money from Vozrozhdenie Bank was transferred to five companies (Avtodorpostavka LLC, Multifunctional Systems LLC, MIR Consulting LLC, Energogroup LLC, Sinist LLC) that were engaged in purchasing land shares Moscow stud farm No. 1 ... These five companies together own 21.06% of the Entrepreneurship Development Bank. At the same time, the directors of the LLC, I. Kulakov, A. Pankin, S. Ioganson, V. Arnautov, were simultaneously employees of JSCB BRP, that is, subordinates of Alexander Nichiporuk, who then headed the board of this bank.”

Alexander Nichiporuk has indeed served as Chairman of the Board of the Entrepreneurship Development Bank since 1994. Since 2003, he was vice president of AK ALROSA, in 2004-07. headed the company. The media have repeatedly called Nichiporuk “a protégé of Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin” and his longtime associate.

Based on the testimony of Hamlet Hakobyan, a criminal case of embezzlement was opened in 2005. According to the investigation, thanks to placing a deliberately unprofitable deposit in Vozrozhdenie Bank, ALROSA lost 153 million rubles. That same year, the prosecutor's office closed the case "due to the absence of a crime." In an interview with Kommersant, Hamlet Akopyan noted that he was not surprised by this procedural decision: “As soon as they realized that Kudrin himself should be a defendant in this case, everyone ran in. After that, the investigator was replaced...”

Minister Alexei Kudrin did everything possible to prevent the bankruptcy of KIT Finance when the bank was unable to fulfill its financial obligations to its partners. As a result of a series of actions, on October 8, 2008, a consortium of investors consisting of ALROSA Investment Group and Russian Railways OJSC acquired 45% of the shares of KIT Finance. The heads of the railway department were asked to intervene - the rehabilitation of KIT Finance took place at public expense. Subsequently, IG ALROSA withdrew from the capital of the bank, the only shareholders of which were structures close to JSC Russian Railways.

The reorganization of the private bank KIT Finance, close to Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, which owed debt to counterparties, cost the state an unprecedented amount of 130 billion rubles. – more than $4.3 billion.

Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Storchak is accused of attempting to steal from the federal budget under the pretext of covering the losses of Sodexim Bank. This private lending institution bought from several African countries their debts to the former USSR. According to investigators, the amount that the bank demanded to be paid from the Russian budget as compensation was inflated by $43.4 million. In 2007, Storchak was arrested, Minister Alexei Kudrin actively supported his subordinate, and the following year he was released from custody . Currently, Storchak continues to familiarize himself with the collected evidence base. According to the Investigative Committee of Russia, the person involved in the investigation is deliberately delaying the case in the hope that the Arbitration Court will satisfy the claim of Sodexim to the Ministry of Finance for recognition of the debt, including the disputed $43.4 million. The wife of the accused, Lyudmila Storchak, filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Finance demanding payment to her 5 million rub. The wife of Deputy Kudrin does not agree that during the search $1 million that belonged to her was seized and kept for a long time.

The criminal case of the Twentieth Trust corporation, investigated in 1999, involved employees of Alexei Kudrin, who subsequently moved to Moscow and were employed by the Ministry of Finance. Thus, Kudrin’s St. Petersburg deputy Dmitry Pankin (he put his signature on the payment orders for which money was allocated) works as Deputy Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation. Now Pankin’s candidacy is being considered for the post of head of the Federal Service for Financial Markets (FSFM).

The case also involved Nadezhda Savolainen, the future deputy director of the administrative department of the Ministry of Finance. Subsequently, she was deputy head of the Federal Agency for Health and Social Development, and is now director of the department of accounting policy and control of the Ministry of Health.

Zhanetta Krolli, also a defendant in the criminal case, became an adviser to the manager of Vneshtorgbank.

The media call the former deputy president of this financial organization, St. Petersburg resident Vadim Levin, a personal friend of the chairman of the supervisory board of VTB Bank Alexei Kudrin. In turn, businessman Shota Boterashvili is a close acquaintance of Levin and a likely acquaintance of Kudrin in St. Petersburg, as is Otar Margania, a representative of the city’s “Ebraeli” community. In the 1990s. Boterashvili, according to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, was a business partner of Mikhail Mirilashvili, the son of the head of the World Congress of Georgian Jews, a public figure and philanthropist. In 2001-09 Mirilashvili was in prison, having been convicted of kidnapping two subsequently killed immigrants from Georgia.

Companies of the Boterashvili family figured in the schemes through which ownership of the assets of the Shaumyan plant was registered. In the property conflict for control over this enterprise, as St. Petersburg media reported, “one suicide occurred (the deceased committed suicide on September 11, 2001, writing a suicide note that he could not survive the terrorist attack on America), and several murders,” which had a resonant character.

Later, the commercial transactions of Shota Boterashvili and his relatives are closely connected with VTB Bank. In 2005, the entrepreneur, in his words, as the “chief advisor” to the chairman of the board of Vsheshtorgbank, became one of the founders of the VTB Capital company (renamed VTB Development) and a full partner of the bank in the project approved by Vladimir Putin “ Embankment of Europe" - development of the Malaya Nevka area. The original beneficiary of Embankment of Europe, businessman Sergei Lvov, is trying to prove in courts that his assets, owned by VTB, were seized by criminal means.

Companies affiliated with the structures of the Boterashvili family provided Aeroflot with an electronic payment system, in St. Petersburg - the installation of a heating main from the North-Western Thermal Power Plant to the Primorskaya Boiler House, the construction of residential real estate at 139 Moskovsky Prospekt. VTB Bank took part in lending to the projects "

Shota Boterashvili was registered as a member of the board of directors of VTB Armenia and the United Georgian Bank (now VTB Georgia), and together with his wife Victoria Shamlikashvili was a member of the board of directors of Well Drilling Corporation. In 2009, a major scandal occurred around the cooperation between Boterashvili and VTB Bank, implemented under Vadim Levin. The incident is related to an agreement concluded in 2007 by VTB-Leasing and the Cypriot Clusseter Limited for the purchase of 30 ZJ50DBS drilling rigs at a price of $15 million per unit (excluding customs duties). According to the agreement, the installations were to be leased to Well Drilling Corporation. The contract was valued at $456.9 million, with customs duties and fees - $650 million.

It turned out that the Cypriot company is an intermediary, the drilling rigs are produced by the Chinese Sichuan Honghua Petroleum Equipment, and the manufacturer’s unit of production costs about $10 million. Thus, the total damage during the purchase could amount to about $160 million. Despite the appeals, no criminal case was opened. In 2010, Well Drilling Corporation LLC was declared bankrupt. In March 2011, VTB minority shareholder Alexey Navalny filed a lawsuit in the Moscow Arbitration Court against VTB-Leasing, the Cyprus company Clusseter Limited and Well Drilling Corporation, trying to challenge the deal to purchase drilling rigs.

Boterashvili, as Novaya Gazeta points out, allegedly participated in an attempt to improve relations between Anna Astanina and the first deputy president of VTB Bank Vadim Levin, which ended in the forced hospitalization of Levin’s wife in a psychiatric institution. The Chairman of the Board of VTB Development CJSC is Sergei Matvienko, the son of the Governor of St. Petersburg.
