Sergey Vasiliev dacha in Vyritsa. Wives of the richest Russian businessmen and officials (29 photos)

The richest Russians are accustomed to relaxing in huge mansions, which are not inferior in decoration to the royal palaces. Kadyrov’s dacha, for example, costs $310 million, and Putin sails to his “recreation complex” on a yacht.

Photos of the palaces and estates of influential people in Russia show that you definitely can’t stop someone from living beautifully. The Elephant portal selected eight of the most luxurious “architectural masterpieces” belonging to officials and businessmen.

The Vasiliev brothers were born in the village of Vyritsa, Leningrad Region. At first they ran video stores, then they transported cars from Europe for sale in Russia, and they ran car markets. Sergey Vasiliev controlled and controls the St. Petersburg Oil Terminal - the largest bunkering company in the Seaport of St. Petersburg, with a 15% share of the volume of oil products transshipped in the Baltic.

The Vasilievs generously helped their native Vyritsa, where the brothers still live, despite the presence of real estate in St. Petersburg - for example, they restored wooden church Kazan Mother of God which is popular among tourists. It was in this village on the banks of the Oredezh River that the brothers decided to build their estate. The interesting thing about this estate is that it is a smaller copy of the Catherine Palace - the famous royal residence in Pushkin. The patterns on the cast-iron lattice, the golden domes of the chapel, the sky blue color and white statues - a lot here reminds of Catherine.

There is only conflicting information about the interior: ceilings 14 meters high, marble staircases, doors made of tortoiseshells, mosaic marble floors with a total area of ​​more than 600 square meters. m, black marble Atlantean knights. According to the author of the project, architect Igor Gremitsky, exclusively natural materials were used to decorate the palace, including 19 types of marble from Italy.

This Saturday, a post appeared on the entertainment portal YaPlakal, the author of which claimed that he participated in the construction of the residence for the head of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin - he worked there on the so-called smart home.

According to him, on several tens of hectares of forest near Domodedovo, private lakes were dug, a garage for 15 cars was built, a separate box for a luxury limousine, one and a half kilometers of underground passages to the garage were built, there was a private cinema, a bathhouse complex (1400 sq. m) with sauna, Russian, Turkish baths, salt room, swimming pool, separate massage room, etc.

Then a certain builder Alexey, who allegedly worked there, spoke on RSN. “There were 300 Vietnamese people working there, and they killed all the fish there with electric fishing rods. External finishing - Italian marble. Bathhouse - three buildings, 14 by 14 meters, Italian furniture, marble bar counter, fireplace, stained glass windows. It is made of glass, there are no walls as such, locker rooms, showers, everything is very expensive. Swimming pool 50 meters in the house. There is a storage room for fur coats and a refrigerator. The small house is the son’s, the guest house, and the main one is his. There is a prayer room and a chapel there. It seems that Metrostroy dug ponds there for 150 million. It’s decorated with gold tiles, and the room is very large - a hammam, a bathhouse, a steam room, a panorama to look at the forest,” Alexey said about what he saw near Domodedovo.

Igor Shuvalov, who has served as Deputy Prime Minister since 2008, is the wealthiest member of the government according to his 2012 declaration. His income amounted to about 226 million rubles (about 7 million dollars). The spouse's income is slightly less.

In his declaration, the official indicated that he, together with his wife and three minor children, rents a house with an area of ​​4,174 square meters. meters. The residence of the Deputy Prime Minister is located next to the innovation city Skolkovo (Moscow) on the territory of the former dacha of Brezhnev-era Politburo member Mikhail Suslov (state dacha Zarechye-4), is jealously guarded and surrounded by a high fence. Natalya Pelevina, in her blog on the website of the radio station Echo of Moscow, talks about a “palace” with an area of ​​1,500 square meters. meters, built in the shape of the letter P. On a plot of 7.5 hectares, according to Pelevina, there are also indoor tennis courts, a swimming pool, luxurious gardens “with shrubs trimmed in Versailles style,” a greenhouse for exotic plants, separate houses for servants and guards, etc.

On the banks of the Sunzha River in Grozny stands another very impressive mansion. The official residence of the head of the Chechen Republic with an area of ​​260 thousand square meters. meters cost the budget, according to Novaya Gazeta, about 10 billion rubles ($310.8 million).

Novaya Gazeta notes that 48 million rubles - 360 thousand square meters - were allocated for the improvement of the territory of the residence alone. m of lawn, 77 thousand sq. m of flower beds, 16 thousand roses, 14 thousand sq. m of curly pruned bushes, hedges, etc. About 36 million rubles have been allocated for utility services for the residence.

Nikolai Uskov, head of the Snob project, after a meeting of the club of editors of central media in Grozny, eloquently described what he saw: “On a huge square in the middle of ideal lawns, reminiscent of the emerald waves of golf courses, stood a monumental palace in the Ottoman style, next to it was a copy of the sacred Kaaba, framed by minarets. […] Among the picturesque hills and Chechen family towers stretching to the left, a small farm is hidden. A bear cub lives with her in a cage, chickens and turkeys walk on the grass, roosters crow, a stream gurgles, flowing into an artificial pond.”

In February 2011, Novaya Gazeta published an article suggesting that in the territory natural reserve Big Utrish ( Krasnodar region) a personal dacha is being built for ex-president and current prime minister Dmitry Medvedev. The mansion in Bolshoi Utrish was to be equipped with a marina and a helipad. Two were specially planned wide roads leading to it (according to the publication, these are the safety requirements Federal service security). In its architecture, the “Medvedev’s dacha” project is similar to the so-called Putin’s palace in Gelendzhik.

The land on which the palace is located has been rented out since July 2008 by the forestry department Krasnodar region regional fund non-profit projects A gift for the construction of a sports and recreation complex there. For an area of ​​120 hectares, the fund will transfer 15 million rubles every year for 49 years.

According to Novaya Gazeta, Management Company The Dar fund was located at the same address as the Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives (FSCI) of the President's wife Svetlana Medvedeva, the companies had the same telephone number, and the general director of both organizations was different time one and the same person (Olga Travina). The Presidential Administration stated that it has nothing to do with the construction.

In the Blue Bay, near the village of Bzhid, Dzhubga urban settlement, Tuapse district, Krasnodar Territory, there is an object that some consider to be the residence of the governor of the Krasnodar Territory, Alexander Tkachev.

According to Rosreestr, part of these lands actually belongs to the governor. However, according to environmentalists, the area enclosed by a fence (about 7 hectares) significantly exceeds the area of ​​land owned by Tkachev (1 hectare).

“Putin’s Russia is an extreme version of “insider capitalism”, in fact a kleptocracy, where those close to power are given the right to steal huge sums for personal use” (Paul Krugman, Nobel laureate in economics, from an article in the New York Times 12/18 .2014).

1. From the life of Cosa Nostra (instead of a preface).

John Gotti, the legendary mafia boss in America, ruled the Gambino family from 1986 to 1992. According to various estimates, the income of his organized crime group at that time ranged from 250 to 500 million dollars a year. Racketeering, drugs, gas tax scams, everything in full.

The Gambino family was the largest in the United States, but Don Gotti was officially... a sales manager for plumbing fixtures and clothing in two small companies. Working two jobs, Gotti earned an average of $50,000 a year. And all the millions went to dummies. As is customary in the mafia.

The modest house of Don Gotti in the Howard Beach neighborhood of Queens, New York.

All around are exactly the same houses for the middle class. The main gangster of America, also known as the “plumbing manager,” walked around Queens without security, getting caught by reporters.

Gotti was once a hitman Carlo Gambino- the main boss of the mafia in the USA in the 1960s and 70s. The old Gambino, nicknamed “The Godfather,” handled billions, but also lived in an old and more than modest house in Brooklyn, which served as his home and headquarters. The FBI guarded him, a bus with outdoor surveillance and wiretapping stood outside the house around the clock, but Don Gambino still continued to steer Cosa Nostra.

He ruled with an iron fist. His competitors regularly did not die a natural death or fell into the hands of the FBI (old Gambino was a major specialist in frame-ups).

Don Gambino was helped by his friend, also a famous bandit, to hide what he had acquired through backbreaking labor. Meir Lansky. He is also the “accountant of the mafia” and the main launderer of its money. A character glorified in gangster films: the prototype of Hyman Roth in The Godfather and Max Berkovich from Once Upon a Time in America.

Meir Lansky (left) and his film image in “The Godfather II” (Jewish mafioso Hyman Roth, partner of Don Corleone). When the film was released, Lansky sent congratulations to actor Lee Strassberg: he played well, but he could have portrayed me more sympathetically.

1932 Brothers. A group of bandits arrested at a meeting in Chicago. Third from left is Lucky Luciano, fourth is Meir Lansky in his youth. No Adidas or black turtlenecks, which is typical. On the gangway - in a suit and tie.

Lansky provided financial services to Cosa Nostra for almost half a century. After Al Capone was imprisoned for tax evasion in 1931, Lansky (he was not yet 30 at the time) was the first to draw the appropriate conclusions.

Even then, the construction of an offshore mafia network began: Lansky was the first to use anonymous companies in Liechtenstein and numbered accounts in Switzerland (all this was already in the 1930s). He was the first to suggest using the Caribbean islands (Cuba, Bahamas, Caymans, etc.) to funnel dirty money. Another idea was to use casinos to launder funds (this is how Las Vegas was born).

When now you read in the media that Putin’s palace in Gelendzhik was financed by the Lirus company from Liechtenstein with bearer shares... Or that the cellist Roldugin opened companies on the Caribbean islands, but with accounts in Zurich banks, through which some incomprehensible billions were flowing ... Then you need to understand that all this is not new. Not new at all. Putin had not yet been born, and his father, a Komsomol activist, was still dispossessing his neighbors in his village in the Tver region, when all these mechanisms for concealing and laundering money had already been tested by the mafia.

Of course, the services of the Cosa Nostra financier were well paid. In 1982, a year before his death, Forbes estimated Meir Lansky's fortune at $300 million. That's about a billion dollars today. However, Lansky himself lived in a rather modest one-story house in Florida and claimed that he was as naked as a falcon.

The reason was prosaic: Lansky was regularly raided by the tax authorities. There they also watched movies and read newspapers. In 1970, he was even forced to leave the United States for Israel for a couple of years, as he was facing a prison sentence for concealing his income. But in the end everything worked out.

In general, the FBI tried to imprison all these mafia bosses, Lansky, Gambino, and Gotti more than once. In relation to the older generation (Lansky and Gambino), this did not work out very well for them. Cases fell apart, witnesses changed their testimony, and the jury began to sympathize with the accused. Everything is as usual.

They had better luck with John Gotti. In the early 90s, the FBI promoted his deputy, who agreed to testify (he was facing the death penalty). As a result, in 1992, the “plumbing manager” received life imprisonment for 13 murders (this is what was proven). Gotti died there in prison.

Gotti's funeral in Queens in 2002. 75 black limousines with bandits drove through the area to the local Catholic cemetery.

Homemade poster along the way: “John Gotti will live forever!”

In fact, Gotti died in a maximum security prison, in hellish torment, from throat cancer, while serving a life sentence. The coffin was gilded, but money didn’t really help. After Gotti's arrest, the Gambino family was led by his son John Gotti Jr., then his brother Peter Gotti. The FBI sent my son to jail in 1999, my brother in 2004. The son has already been released and officially tied up with the mafia, the brother is in prison for life. The Gambino family has weakened significantly since then, but it still exists.

This was the mafia in America, friends. Now let's move to the other side of the ocean. To modern Putin's Russia...

2. Godfather from Vyritsa.

Leningrad region, Vyritsa village, 60 km from St. Petersburg. Our days. On the banks of the Oredezh River there is a house with an area of ​​about 2100 sq.m. Or rather, not a house, but a smaller copy of the Great Catherine Palace in Tsarskoe Selo (this is where the amber room, baroque, etc.).

Everything inside is cool too. Marble, gold

Vases, chests of drawers

Living room. The height of the ceiling is 14 meters. 5-meter statues in assortment.

Not Carlo Gambino's house, yes.

They are idiots there at Cosa Nostra, what can I say?

House church inside the palace in Vyritsa. The owner is a very God-fearing person. Well, he has something to fear in this regard, let's put it that way.

Also in the palace there are paintings, stained glass windows, mosaic floors made of 19 types of marble, doors made of tortoiseshells (!), stucco molding, forging and walnut wood carvings. According to conservative estimates, finishing of this level costs 40-50 thousand euros per square. Those. We are talking about an estate worth 100 million euros.

Personal helicopter of the owner of the palace in Vyritsa on the site in front of the house:

He flies on it to St. Petersburg. On business. The helicopter usually takes off in Vyritsa and lands on the lawn near the Peter and Paul Fortress, right in the center of the city. There the owner of the palace is transferred to a motorcade with guards.

Back - the same way. Cortege-helicopter-palace.

The owner prefers expensive cars, supercars. In this case, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport for 2 million euros. In my opinion, there are only two of these in Russia (the second is Kadyrov’s).

And this is the owner of the palace driving a Lamborghini Reventon (1.4 million euros) in the center of St. Petersburg:

On a Rolls-Royce (he has several of them, his favorite car):

On the unique Maserati MS 12 along Nevsky...

Who is this oligarch from Vyritsa with helicopters and Rolls-Royces, who lives in the royal palace for 100 million euros? - One respected person. Here he is close-up:

This is criminal authority Sergei Vasiliev, Tambov organized crime group. Repeat offender, convicted twice Soviet times: for rape (in 1974) and fraud (1987). In the 1980s, he created one of the first gangs of racketeers in the city (the Vasiliev brothers’ gang).

Bombed car markets, twisted caps (protected thimbles), collected tribute from Galera (black market imported goods at Gostiny Dvor). All this happened back in the USSR. In the 1990s. Vasiliev became one of the shadow masters of the city. Together with the Tambov organized crime group, he participated in the seizure of the seaport and other enterprises. In the 2000s, under Putin, the bandit Vasiliev reached the heights of prosperity. In October 2017, I visited Putin for his 65th birthday (they have known each other for a long time).

Vyritsa is an urban-type settlement; there are about 12 thousand permanent residents (not summer residents). The neighborhoods where they live look something like this:

The barracks were built in who knows what years...

All this is successfully complemented by the palace of the bandit Vasilyev. You can take schoolchildren to Vyritsa. For lessons on modern history Russia. Well, so as not to tell for too long. You can also transport social science students. In order to study the topic “Capitalism for our own”. To make it clear: here are our own, and here are strangers, everything is clear.

We can say with confidence that none of the leaders of Cosa Nostra in America live like this. There are more and more “plumbing managers” there.

Another interesting point: judging by the land cadastre, Vasilyev’s palace in Vyritsa stands on a plot of 4.1 hectares, which is allocated for a “health care facility” (health complex).

You can rest assured about the health of Vasiliev’s authority. But the rest of the residents of the village of Vyritsa are being treated at the local district hospital on Moskovskaya Street, 12. This healthcare facility is only 4 km from the bandit palace, and here life is completely different... the main problem— the sewerage collector next to the hospital has long fallen into disrepair and is leaking. Feces spread throughout the area, spreading all the delights of unsanitary conditions. Fix it? - But there is no money.

Residents, of course, complain to the authorities and are indignant.

But there is no money. Extreme a form of capitalism for its own. Nobel laureates It’s not for nothing that they write.

However, Vasiliev’s authority in his “health complex” is of little concern to this. The Salon Interior magazine, dedicated to luxury real estate and design, published a photo report about the Vasilievsky Palace in issue No. 9 of 2009, interviewing the architect. As the architect Igor Gremitsky said, the customer wanted to realize his dream here - to live in the royal mansions and that the palace was “designed to amaze.” For greater luxury and pomp, the Baroque style was chosen.

In addition, the customer wished that the memory of the “passion-bearer Tsar Nicholas II,” whom he greatly respects, be immortalized in the palace. And the memory was immortalized: the inside of the house church was consecrated in honor of Nicholas II, and at the entrance there is his statue with an angel and a cross. Those. authority Vasiliev is a monarchist type. A devout believer, with his own home church, etc.

Last time They tried to put Vasilyev in prison back in 1987, back in the USSR. They could not prove the charges of racketeering (the main thing he was doing at that time), and there were few people willing to testify against Vasiliev. They proved only fraud with cars, soldering 7 years for fraud.

Vasiliev’s case was high-profile at that time and the St. Petersburg magazine “Smena” wrote about it in March 1988. It gave an interesting portrait of the main character.

“He has free time[Vasilieva] never happened, the arrow of his activity never stopped its frantic pace for a minute. He lived modestly: old, shabby furniture, a broken bed, canned food, sprat, boiled sausage in the refrigerator - no delicacies. Only a brand new Panasonic tape recorder and a Japanese color TV from the same company did not fit into this wretched environment of a neglected and dirty apartment. However, this “Spartan” lifestyle was explained by Vasiliev’s pathological greed.”

According to the memoirs of Evgeniy Vyshenkov, an officer of the Leningrad criminal investigation department and now a journalist, the set of videotapes in Vasiliev’s apartment was equally spartan. He always watched only two films: “Chapaev” and “Battleship Potemkin”. And neither baroque, nor Bugatti, nor the passion-bearing king. Sprat in tomato and revolutionary lads from Potemkin.

That article in Smena in 1988 about Vasiliev’s gang was called “Collapse.” This meant the collapse of Vasiliev and his organized crime group.

At that time, Vasiliev himself had just sat down on his second trip, and was supposed to leave in seven years.

But the author of the article, Leonid Milosh, was in a hurry with the “collapse.” I didn’t know that Vasiliev would serve only two years, would pay off, and in general new times would soon break out. Leningrad will be renamed St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg will acquire the prefix “gangster”, the Tambov and Malyshevskaya organized crime groups will arise, Vasiliev will play the leading roles there. The bandits will buy Sobchak's mayor's office wholeheartedly and seize all the tidbits in the city. And then the whole country. Cosa Nostra never dreamed of this.

3. “The era of complete lawlessness.”

Where did the bandit Vasiliev get the money for palaces and Rolls-Royces? – The main source of his wealth is this enterprise. It is called the “Petersburg Oil Terminal” or PNT for short.

This is a former oil depot in the seaport of St. Petersburg, seized by bandits back in 1995. Here is the largest point for the export of petroleum products abroad from Russia. Diesel oil, fuel oil, etc. here millions of tons are poured into tankers and sent abroad. In addition, bunkering (refueling) of sea vessels takes place here. In general, a bread place. PNT is the source of money for the palace in Vyritsa, proudly rising among the khrushchevs and barracks.

The terminal's throughput capacity is 12 million tons of petroleum products per year. This is 50-70 million dollars a year for transshipment services. This is not counting offshore fuel fraud, which has always been common here. This is when a ship is fueled with Russian fuel oil in St. Petersburg, and foreign currency is received for it offshore in Liechtenstein, etc.

Vasiliev is the unofficial owner of PNT. However, his name is not officially listed there. There are only offshore companies and denominations that divide profits somewhere abroad and according to concepts.

Vasilyev’s interests in PNT are also represented by dummies. At first it was a certain Dmitry Skigin, a financier of a Tambov organized crime group from the 1990s. Since the early 1990s, Dmitry Skigin and his brother Vladimir have been working with the money of serious St. Petersburg bandits - Vasiliev, Traber (Antiquary), Ruslan Kolyak (Bug-Eyed). The brothers represented their interests in the most different types business, helped transport gangster capital to Europe and legalize it there.

Dmitry Skigin (photo from the personal archive of Robert Eringer, head of intelligence in Monaco in 2002-2007)

Father and son Skigin. 30 years in the service of the Tambov organized crime group.

The origins of Vasiliev’s acquaintance with Skigin Sr. are shrouded in mystery. However, they go quite far. So, in 2000, when Putin had just become president, his biography for Western readers was published in Germany, entitled “A German in the Kremlin” (in Russian translation - “The Best German in the Kremlin”). The author of the book was Alexander Rahr, a German pro-Kremlin journalist and political scientist. His biography of Putin was, on the whole, laudatory, as ordered.

Putin and his German biographer Alexander Rahr shake hands. Valdai, 2011

Rahr in his book vividly describes the gangster Petersburg of the 1990s. (albeit with the caveats that Putin allegedly did not participate in this). In particular, you can read the following story from Rahr from the early 90s:

“During the years of change in all spheres of Russian public life, the young Bonn entrepreneur Andrei Tvarkovsky was almost constantly in Leningrad... Here he found a business partner and together with him created the Sovex company, which was engaged in the manufacture of wooden and crystal products for export. At first, money was continuously pouring in from abroad for goods that were in good demand there... But then an era of complete lawlessness began and the mafia, feeling the power, simply ousted Tvarkovski from the Russian market... First, the crime bosses, the Vasilyev brothers, demanded 100,000 marks from Tvarkovski’s company for “patronage” and a foreign car... He decided to turn to the KGB for help. The employee who received him was very kind and promised all kinds of assistance, but then suddenly supported his Russian partner...

Sad story. A German came to St. Petersburg at the end of the USSR, found a business partner and created the Sovex company together with him. They began to export timber, crystal products, etc. “Money was constantly coming in from abroad.” And then the bandits the Vasiliev brothers came and threw the German out of the company. And his former Russian partner helped them in this.

Rahr does not name the man who set the Vasiliev brothers against the unfortunate German investor. But in vain. After all, it was Skigin. He actually registered the Soviet-German joint venture Sovex in December 1989, where he was director, and then wrested it from the Germans with the help of Vasiliev’s authority. This is the very beginning of the 1990s.

Skigin and Vasiliev had many more joint projects, but the most important of them began in 1995 - an oil terminal. It was Skigin who was the author of the very idea of ​​​​creating PNT and the scheme to capture the oil depot in the port. The “brains” of the operation, so to speak.

Since there is only one terminal, but there are many bandits, there were some showdowns. After capturing the oil depot, the bandits spent a long time dividing up the loot (sometimes with shooting). Vasilyev himself was almost killed because of the terminal, but in the end PNT still went to him.

And of course, speaking about the appearance of a bandit oil terminal in the port, we should not forget that the seizure of the oil depot by the gang in 1995 would have been impossible without the support of the city mayor’s office. Without Sobchak and his deputy Putin, who issued all the orders necessary for this. It was one team. Or rather, a brigade.

Putin in 1994 in his office. It was he who oversaw the port in the Sobchak mayor's office.

4.Oil terminal.

So, the former Soviet mafioso Sergei Vasiliev, who once whiled away his leisure time eating sprat in tomatoes and watching “Battleship Potemkin,” became an oil tycoon. However, how exactly did the bandits manage to get into the port, seize the oil depot and settle there for many years?

The whole story began in June 1995, when the mayor's office of St. Petersburg ordered the long-term lease of the port oil depot to the private company JSC Petersburg Oil Terminal. According to the agreement, the oil depot was given to them for 20 years for 50 thousand dollars a year. It's like it's for nothing. Even in those years, 2-3 million tons of petroleum products passed through the terminal, which meant millions of dollars in profit per year. Plus, three months after leasing, the mayor’s office gave PNT another 25 hectares of the port territory free of charge for future business expansion.

Order of Mayor Sobchak on the transfer of 25 hectares in the port to the Petersburg Oil Terminal company in September 1995.

The main shareholders of JSC "Petersburg Oil Terminal" of the 1995-1998 model. The situation changed later, but this first composition of shareholders is very indicative. Brothers, sir.

As you can see, Traber initially had a controlling stake in PNT. Vasilyev’s interests were represented by the company Sovex, already familiar to us, general director which Skigin was. The authority of Gennady Petrov is CJSC Financial Company Petroleum. All these gentlemen are from the so-called. Tambov-Malyshev lads.

Ilya, nicknamed "Antique". It was he who carried out the general management of the privatization of the St. Petersburg port in the 1990s. As a result, the entire port - not only the oil depot, but everything else - went to the bandits.

The omnipotence of bandits in the port arose under Mayor Sobchak (1991-96). Professor Sobchak himself was, for the most part, a “conversational artist” - he made speeches from the stands about democracy and market reforms. He was good at this. And the economy under Sobchak, including the seaport, was supervised by his first deputy, V.V. Putin. It was with him that the interested parties resolved issues.

Early 1990s. Sobchak (center) and his two most famous nominees, Chubais and Putin.

So, at the time of the creation of the St. Petersburg Oil Terminal, the bandit Traber was in charge. Later, Traber sold his stake to the authority Vasiliev, and the terminal came under the control of the latter. The details of this intra-gang deal between Traber and Vasiliev are still little known. Both sides prefer not to talk about them.

Briefly, 1998-99. Traber had some problems in Russia that involved a threat to life and health. In particular, he became a participant in the war criminal groups in Vyborg with a bunch of corpses. To avoid becoming a corpse himself, Traber bought himself a Greek passport and hastily left Russia. And for many years he lived in Europe as a “Greek” Ilyas Traber. He bought luxury real estate and lived in several houses between Mallorca, Nice and Geneva.

Leaving Russia in the late 90s, Traber needed money and sold PNT to Vasiliev. PNT is an expensive asset, Vasiliev did not have that much money, and the sale was in installments. The calculations between them took a long time and were not easy. They finally settled in the 2000s, under Putin as president.

Traber's estate in La Tour-de-Peil on Lake Geneva. Not the Vasiliev Palace in Vyritsa, but also one of the most expensive villas on the Swiss Riviera. This is all the money from the St. Petersburg port, here it is:

Now he won’t see his villa anytime soon. Traber is now wanted by Interpol (money laundering in Spain) and is imprisoned in Russia, in his other estate - near St. Petersburg, in the Nevsky Forest Park. Nothing promotes love of country more than an international arrest warrant.

Returning to the oil terminal - when it became clear that PNT had transferred to Vasiliev in earnest and for a long time, not everyone in the criminal community liked this. In 2006, the well-known St. Petersburg authority Kumarin (Kum) hired raiders who, using forged documents, tried to take away the terminal from Vasiliev through the tax office (to transfer it to Kum’s people).

At the same time, it was decided to eliminate Vasiliev himself physically. In May 2006, an attempt was made on his life; his Rolls-Royce and a security jeep came under fire from killers in the center of St. Petersburg. The killers were sent by Kum.

Vasiliev was wounded but survived. The tax office also managed to block the transfer of the terminal to other persons. The killers went to prison. Customer Kumarin also went there in 2007, which caused considerable surprise to the public: Kum was the “night governor of the city” for many years, no one dared to touch him. And he is no stranger to Putin’s team.

Well, not a stranger at all.

And if you remember that Kum’s companion and close friend in the 1990s was a certain Vladimir Smirnov, better known as the chairman of the Ozero cooperative...

In short, the order to extinguish Kuma after the assassination attempt on Vasiliev came from the very top. Everything was prepared in the strictest secrecy: only Moscow investigators, even special forces, were sent from Moscow to take him. After his arrest, he was immediately transported to Moscow, because in St. Petersburg he could solve everything with everyone.

Naturally, the question arises: aren’t there too many miracles in Vasiliev’s biography? With the arrival of Putin, he miraculously found the money and paid Traber for the terminal (and this is hundreds of millions of dollars). Then he miraculously fought off Kum, and few people in the city had previously fought off his attacks. And finally, after all this, Kum went to prison for the rest of his days, the threat was radically eliminated.

The explanation for these miracles is quite simple: Vasiliev did not take over the terminal alone. In this matter, he was helped (financially and administratively) by this person: Mr. Sechin. For 30%. This is Sechin’s unofficial share in PNT.

This in itself is not news. Novaya Gazeta wrote that Sechin has a stake in PNT in 2007, shortly after Kum’s arrest. The most important thing here is to correctly understand what “Sechin’s share” means in Putin’s Russia. It's the same as Putin's share.

Sechin was once the head of Putin’s secretariat at the St. Petersburg mayor’s office. I sat in the reception area and resolved organizational issues. Some people hire girls as secretaries, but Putin took Sechin. Under President Putin, the media created the image of the gray eminence of Russia for Sechin, endowing the secretary with completely supernatural qualities. Allegedly, he controls everyone behind the scenes, including Putin.

However, this is an exaggeration. Sechin under Putin is like Skigin under Vasiliev. Junior partner and vice-chairman. Like a traffic cop at his post, everything he takes is shared with the commander. Otherwise it won’t stay there for long. That is why Vasiliev behaves so brazenly. Palaces, supercars. Why should he be afraid with such and such a roof?

5. Meir Lansky St. Petersburg spill.

The important point is that the creation of PNT in the seaport in 1995 was only part of global plan to seize the fuel infrastructure of St. Petersburg, which was carried out by bandits in 1994-96. In those years, in addition to the oil depot in the port, the Tambov organized crime group and its allies captured:

1. The city's largest network of gas stations with more than 100 gas stations (“Petersburg Fuel Company” or PTK for short). Control over the PTK was given to the authority of Kumarin (Kum) and his partner Vladimir Smirnov (the first chairman of the Ozero cooperative);

2. Oil depot in Ruchi (the largest gasoline reservoirs in the region). After the capture, the base was annexed to the PTK;

3. Oil depot in Pulkovo (aircraft refueling). It was received by Vasiliev’s Sovex in 1996, but later Vasiliev gave this base to Traber in the course of their mutual settlements;

4. And finally, the source of petroleum products for all of the listed enterprises was the Kirishi Oil Refinery, the largest in the North-West. Control over it was seized by a group of security officers led by Timchenko (company), who worked in the same team with the bandits.

In the 1990s, Dmitry Skigin had a friend and business partner in St. Petersburg, Maxim Freidzon, who now lives in Israel. He was a witness and in some places an accomplice in the processes described above.

20 years later, in 2015-16, in a series of interviews for Radio Liberty, Freidzon told interesting details of those events of the mid-1990s. So, according to him, it was Skigin who was the “brain center” of the operations to seize oil depots in the port and in Pulkovo by bandits. And it was Skigin who was the mediator in negotiations between the lads and Putin on these issues. Including negotiating with him about kickbacks for necessary decisions.

In the end, everything went well, and both tidbits went to the “right” companies. Putin now likes to speak on the topic of the “dashing 90s”, predatory privatization, etc. Let him remember how he himself participated in this.

As all the city’s key fuel infrastructure facilities were seized and divided, what Freidzon calls a “collective” was formed. A stable mafia group. So, Timchenko kept a plant in Kirishi and supplied fuel to everyone else. It was necessary to take the goods only from him, the requirement of the “collective”.

This fuel was then sold, and the profits were transferred abroad to offshore companies. In Liechtenstein, Skigin had a company called Horizon International Trading, which served as a settlement center. The money of the “collective” flowed there, was laundered, distributed, Skigin was responsible for this. His assistants were the Englishman Graham Smith and the lawyer from Liechtenstein, Markus Hasler. Two offshore case managers from Europe who specialized in mafia clients from Russia.

The overall picture was a real regional organized crime group, which established its monopoly on the fuel market of the North-West:

“Fuel supplies for Sovex and PNT came from Timchenko... Putin provided city support for this group of companies, the entire licensing part, everything related to the rental of city property, etc. Dima Skigin provided the business component, Graham Smith was involved in the western component and cleaning of money, and Kumarin and Vasiliev provided everything related to the criminal component: the “roof”, the fight against competitors and the seizure of new territories. The bandits captured, Putin formalized what was captured. The team worked harmoniously"(Maxim Freidzon, from an interview with Radio Liberty on June 25, 2016).

In fact, Skigin was such a Meir Lansky of the St. Petersburg spill. Mafia accountant. Like Lansky, he was involved in money laundering around the world, managing a network of offshore companies. Skigin's activities in this area were so vigorous that in May 2000 he was even deported from Monaco for money laundering. He had a company there called Sotrama, through which Traber and Vasiliev’s money was laundered. In especially large sizes. So large that at some point the authorities of Monaco got tired of it, and they asked Skigin not to appear in their country anymore.

Below is a fragment of the dossier on Skigin, which was maintained by the Monaco police. Skigin Dimitrios (he traveled around Europe with a Greek passport, like Traber), born in 1956, native of Leningrad, deportation decision No. 00-62 of May 19, 2000. Person involved in a money laundering investigation since 1999. Met at Cote d'Azur with Traber (report dated 02/04/2000), who is associated with "Russian criminal group "Tambov"(meaning Tambov organized crime group in St. Petersburg).

So that dear readers understand the situation correctly: Skigina’s entry into Monaco in 2000 was closed by the authorities without explanation (like Kobzon’s entry into America), and documents on this episode were made public only 10 years later former boss intelligence of Monaco by Robert Eringer.

And again, so that dear readers understand correctly: Monaco is actually one of the world’s recognized centers of money laundering. Was and is. Getting kicked out of there for laundering is like getting kicked out of a brothel for debauchery. That is, you need to especially distinguish yourself. Like this cool guy there was Dima Skigin, Putin’s connection with the Tambov organized crime group.

Two photos approximately 25 years apart. Both are made in Israel. On the left is Skigin with his wife Albina (1995, from the personal archive of Maxim Freidzon), on the right is Meir Lansky with his daughter Sandra. Accountant of the Tambov organized crime group and accountant of Cosa Nostra.

In June 1996, Sobchak lost the next mayoral election, Putin left his post and moved to Moscow to join the Yeltsin administration. But he remained a member of the “collective”. And Skigin again helped him with this:

“When Sobchak lost the election[in 1996] ..., then it became hard for Vladimir Vladimirovich. It became unclear why he should be paid a share. Dima Skigin, my friend and partner in the Sigma and Sovex companies, told me that he decided to make a somewhat risky move - to support Vladimir Vladimirovich by maintaining his share in an already operating oil terminal[at the seaport] and at Sovex[aircraft refueling terminal in Pulkovo] . Dima made such a bet and convinced his “team” partners - Traber, Vasilyev and Kumarin - that it was not worth writing off Vladimir Vladimirovich from accounts. It was, I assure you, a serious decision. Because the situation was changing quickly, and spending money on a person who can’t give anything away yet[on Putin] "It was a risky strategic decision."(Maxim Freidzon, from an interview with Radio Liberty on August 14, 2016)

We must pay tribute to the late Dima (Skigin). He correctly assessed Volodya and put in a good word for him with the lads. We must pay tribute to Volodya, he does not forget Skigin’s offspring, his son Mikhail is a full member of the “team”. And not only in the port.

In June 2017, the public of St. Petersburg was quite surprised by the project of toll bridges in the city, which was presented by the mayor’s office. A certain private company "Toll Road", previously unknown to anyone, suddenly received a concession to build a series of toll bridges across railways within the city. That is, you are driving down the street and come across a crossing. Next, you either stand or pay money to the Toll Road company and drive along the top.

The reaction to this idea was, shall we say, mixed. The last time they took money for crossing bridges in St. Petersburg was in 1755. Then they managed somehow, both under the tsars and under the communists. But not in front of the brothers. For when they began to find out who the owner of the mysterious Toll Road company was (it, by the way, received the right to toll bridges back in Tula and in the Moscow region), it turned out that 50% there belonged to a certain Roman Belousov (confidant of Mikhail Skigin), and 50% goes to an offshore company from Panama, where the denominations are... - Graham Smith and Markus Hasler. The same guys who served the Tambov organized crime group and Putin back in the 1990s.

By the way, the above-mentioned Robert Eringer, the former head of intelligence in Monaco, while collecting information on St. Petersburg bandits in the 2000s, made inquiries about Smith and Hasler from the Liechtenstein authorities. According to Eringer, it was Graham Smith who was the main one in this tandem. “If you are looking for Putin’s money in Europe, take a closer look at Graham Smith”, Eringer wrote in 2015.

If you drive across toll bridges in St. Petersburg, Naro-Fominsk, as well as across the Upa River in the Tula province, don’t forget about Smith. A modest Englishman who once distributed Soviet communist literature in England for fees from the KGB. Then he moved from there to Liechtenstein and was involved in the scandal with the collapse of the insurance company LUI in 1990 (a major financial scam in England). Well, then I found myself working with the St. Petersburg gang.

6.Epilogue.

In 2002, the series “Brigada” was released on screens in Russia, glorifying the criminal romance of the 90s.

As you understand, in America the president of the country also spends his leisure time playing golf with the Cosa Nostra killers, and then takes photographs for memory.

Back in the distant 1970s. Mosfilm stuntman Inshakov joined Yaponchik’s brigade, participating in raids on shop workers and other representatives of underground capitalism in the USSR. Then Yaponchik went to prison, for a long time, and was released only in 1991. After which he left for America, from where he ruled all Russian organized crime in the first half of the 90s. The Japanese also found a job for his old racket comrade. By specialty.

Well, and then Inshak, aka Stuntman, became the producer of “Brigade”. The film, made by a bandit about bandits, was a wild success. The educational idea of ​​the film was loyalty to the brigade, as the main virtue of a real boy. Another striking find there was the image of Vvedensky, a security officer who protects the brigade throughout its activities.

There were many such brigades around the country, and one of them was in St. Petersburg, at the port: Putin, Vasiliev, Traber, Skigin, Timchenko. Having become president, Putin remained faithful to his brigade and does not forget it, carefully protecting it, as before.

However, the brigade is gluttonous, and the food supply is not so large (taking into account what was previously stolen). That’s why toll bridges are being introduced in St. Petersburg for the first time since 1755. If it’s necessary (to the brigade), they’ll make the air toll. Cosa Nostra never dreamed of this. They never had their own state.

Deema (in the world - Algemen Sisokka) - part of the hip-hop empire Timothy was born on January 3, 1980, 24 years old, “Capricorn” according to the horoscope, born in Berlin. The artist’s cherished dream is for people all over the world to listen to his songs, his music.
Three times to achieve this goal Deema participated in the “Berlin Battle” competition, one of the prizes was first place. I already managed to work as an opening act for rapper Puff Daddy. If R-Kelly or Sting agreed to sing along with Deema, he would be happy and proud. But for now he is very proud to become a father! He doesn’t like stupidity in people, accessibility in women, femininity in men.
Value honesty and integrity. One of the funniest times in life was when I tried smoking for the first time! He doesn’t smoke, and can sometimes afford a cocktail. He studied well at school, but only when he got to class!
My favorite subject is literature, my least favorite is chemistry. For breakfast, the artist eats fruit and pancakes. He cooks very well - he will happily treat guests to sushi, pilaf, and homemade pasta. Once, I was very ashamed that on stage, while performing a song, I accidentally tangled the whole group in the microphone cable. He loves rain in “reasonable quantities” - it calms and gives inspiration. He loves to read, among the writers he revered are A. Pushkin, O'Henry, A. Dumas. I like different music - performed by all those who know how to do it professionally. New Year Deema loves to celebrate in Russia. Favorite holiday – birthday: an artist should not give teddy bears, and it’s best to give a car of your favorite brand. This is a black Lamborgini. On desert island in five minutes of preparation I managed to take with me mobile phone, slippers, swimming trunks, and just in case - an American Express card. The most unusual place which he visited - the Maldives. He wants to win the “New Wave”, so he decided to fight for victory. The choice of songs for the competition program was influenced by the advice of friends from Russia. Like a hurricane, the young R&B performer Deema burst into the European music industry and forced even the most ardent critics to talk about themselves. The glossy covers of new fashion magazines were full of his photographs, enticing exclusive interviews and surprised the entire musical community with statements about Deemi’s participation in various shows, tours and entertainment events. The rebellion began in 2000, with the signing of his 1st contract with by Sony Columbia, when Deema, as the lead singer of the group Snoov-D, released his first album Hunting Season, which included his famous song - the soundtrack written for the film “Werewolf in Paris”. This song instantly took a leading position in the charts in Germany and France. Several days later, the public saw Deemi on the cover of the famous magazine “Juise” in France and Germany. The famous German radio Kiss FM 98.8 offered Deemi a monthly contract “Face - Kiss FM 98.8”. The released video for the song Wild West, which was filmed, added fuel to the fire the famous American director Elon Kalzatti (among his works there is a video for 2-PACa and Notorius BIG – Hit them up). In the same year, according to WOM (World of Music) - Deema became the most talented European R&B artist. The annual publication declared Deema to be the hottest rising R&B artist in all of Europe. Following 2001, with a contract to BMG - the oldest American record company, he released his stunning album “The end of the world” - followed by a year-long tour with American Rap Stars – Puff Daddy, The Beatnuts, De-La-Soul. Happened in 2003 significant event in the R&B and hip-hop life of all of Europe - a representative office of one of the most powerful American record companies - “Def Jem Germani” opened in Germany and the first European artist with whom the company signed a contract was Deema. His album “One Man Standing” was released half a year later, from the moment the contract was signed, it blew up all the European hit parades - it was in the Top 20 of European MTV, stayed in the TOP 10 of France for 5 sessions, not to mention the hit parades on radio stations. The cult music channel VIVA presented the award to Deemi, as the most progressive R&B performer in 2003. Deema devoted the entire 2004 to producing the German Star Factory (Pop Star's) - in particular, he produced the winners of “Pop Star's - 2004” - the group “OVER GROUND”. Based on the sales results of the single of this group “Shik mir'nen Engel” , DEEMA received an award - Platinum Disc (in Europe, this award is given to an artist for selling an album over 1 million copies), and based on the sales of the first solo album of the same group - a Gold Disc. In the same 2004, Deema wrote the soundtrack for the video game Dino Crazy's on Sony Playstation. In July - August of the same 2004, Deema took 3rd place at the international festival New Wave - 2004 (New Wave - 2004), held in Jurmala. At the moment, as many as three record companies: Roca-Fella Records The VergineAftermat are fighting for the right to produce his new album - “Out of Control” and “Man on Moon”. In March 2005, filming of a video for the song “Close the door” will begin in Canada, and in April he begins creating a solo concert program with the participation of an orchestra, vocal group, and ballet. So, at the beginning of 2005, Deemi has 2 completed albums in its arsenal, 5 video clips, 2 soundtracks, Platinum and Gold discs for producing German Pop Star's and universal recognition. Tragically died in an accident on March 23, 2007.

On March 22, a major incident occurred in the center of Moscow. car accident, as a result of which 5 people died. The identities of the dead were not immediately established. After identification, it became clear that the victims of the accident were former member"Star Factory-4" Ratmir Shishkov, as well as a singer named Deema. Timur Baysarov was driving the Mercedes. The young man, according to some media reports, is the nephew of Kristina Orbakaite’s ex-husband Ruslan Baysarov. However, the representative office of the Chechen Republic in Moscow did not confirm the presence family ties between Timur and Ruslan Baysarov. As a REGNUM correspondent in Chechnya notes, Baysarov is a fairly common surname.

The accident occurred at the intersection of Sadovaya-Spasskaya Street and Orlikov Lane on the night of March 22. At the intersection, a Volkswagen Touareg and a Mercedes, which was trying to run a red light, collided. The impact threw the Mercedes to the side and a moment later the car was engulfed in flames.

Ratmir Shishkov should have turned 19 on March 24. Deema is survived by two children.

Vasiliev Sergey Anatolievich(born July 18, 1965, Moscow, RSFSR, USSR) - Chairman of the Board of Directors and co-owner of the investment group "".

In 1990 he graduated from the Faculty of Aerodynamics and Flight Engineering of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT). After graduation, he worked as an engineer at the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) named after. Zhukovsky.

Since 1991, he worked at Tveruniversalbank, first as director of the Moscow branch, later as vice president for managing branches of the Moscow region, and in 1993 he became first vice president. In July 1996, after the introduction of a temporary administration in connection with the crisis at Tveruniversalbank, he was removed from office.

In 1996-1997, he was the head of the debt market department of the joint-stock commercial bank Mezhdunarodnaya finance company"(MFK). From October 1997 to April 1999 - Deputy, First Deputy Chairman of the Board of JSCB MFK. Since April 1999, he has been Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Russian Funds investment group.

Married. Has four children: three sons and a daughter. He is interested in collecting lifetime collections of Silver Age poets, and also restores the estate of the princes Kurakins in the Tver region.

Vasiliev Sergey Vasilievich(born December 5, 1955, village of Vyritsa, Leningrad region, RSFSR, USSR) - a reputable Russian businessman, is a co-owner of one of the largest Russian terminals for transshipment of petroleum products in the Baltic region.

There is no information about education. He was first convicted in 1974 for rape to five years in prison, of which he served only three (he was released on parole). In 1986, he was convicted for the second time under the article “fraud” for six years with confiscation of property. Released in 1989.

After his release, together with his brothers Alexander and Boris Vasilyev, he controlled video salons and the so-called thimblemakers in St. Petersburg. He was engaged in driving cars from Europe to Russia. In the early 2000s, he became a co-owner of the St. Petersburg Oil Terminal.

In May 2006, an attempt was made on Vasiliev. On the Petrograd side of St. Petersburg, his armored Rolls-Royce Phantom was fired upon. One of the guards, 32-year-old Roman Ukharov, died at the scene of the crime, two more were wounded. Vasiliev, with serious injuries, was hospitalized at the military field surgery clinic of the Military Medical Academy, where, according to media reports, he was visited by a doctor who was then working in the mayor’s office of St. Petersburg. The organizer of this crime, according to investigators, was an authoritative St. Petersburg businessman (Kumarin), who intended, together with his accomplices, to seize the St. Petersburg oil terminal.

According to media reports, Vasiliev is also associated with the Tambov organized crime group. According to a former FBI employee, who in the early 2000s worked for the secret service of Prince Albert II of Monaco, Robert Eringer, Vasiliev controls the Sotrama company. Sotrama (renamed CINPIT) is associated with Tambov criminal group from St. Petersburg and Vladimir Putin personally. The firm was part of a network of oil trading companies created throughout Europe by Putin and his cronies to remove money from Russia and launder it by investing in European real estate.

In his native village on the banks of the Oredezh River, Vasiliev built a small copy of the Catherine Palace in Pushkin. Restored the Church of the Kazan Mother of God.

Godfather from Vyritsa.

Leningrad region, Vyritsa village, 60 km from St. Petersburg. Our days. On the banks of the Oredezh River there is a house with an area of ​​about 2100 sq.m. Or rather, not a house, but a smaller copy of the Great Catherine Palace in Tsarskoe Selo (this is where the amber room, baroque, etc.).

Everything inside is cool too. Marble, gold

Vases, chests of drawers

Living room. The height of the ceiling is 14 meters. 5-meter statues in assortment.

Not Carlo Gambino's house, yes.

They are idiots there at Cosa Nostra, what can I say?

House church inside the palace in Vyritsa. The owner is a very God-fearing person. Well, he has something to fear in this regard, let's put it that way.

Also in the palace there are paintings, stained glass windows, mosaic floors made of 19 types of marble, doors made of tortoiseshells (!), stucco molding, forging and walnut wood carvings. According to conservative estimates, finishing of this level costs 40-50 thousand euros per square. Those. We are talking about an estate worth 100 million euros.

Personal helicopter of the owner of the palace in Vyritsa on the site in front of the house:

He flies on it to St. Petersburg. On business. The helicopter usually takes off in Vyritsa and lands on the lawn near the Peter and Paul Fortress, right in the center of the city. There the owner of the palace is transferred to a motorcade with guards.

Back - the same way. Cortege-helicopter-palace.

The owner prefers expensive cars, supercars. In this case, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport for 2 million euros. In my opinion, there are only two of these in Russia (the second is Kadyrov’s).

And this is the owner of the palace driving a Lamborghini Reventon (1.4 million euros) in the center of St. Petersburg:

On a Rolls-Royce (he has several of them, his favorite car):

On the unique Maserati MS 12 along Nevsky...

Who is this oligarch from Vyritsa with helicopters and Rolls-Royces, who lives in the royal palace for 100 million euros? - One respected person. Here it is close up:

This is criminal authority Sergei Vasiliev, Tambov organized crime group. A repeat offender, convicted twice in Soviet times: for rape (in 1974) and fraud (1987). In the 1980s, he created one of the first gangs of racketeers in the city (the Vasiliev brothers’ gang).

He bombed car markets, twisted caps (protected thimbles), collected tribute from Galera (the black market for imported goods near Gostiny Dvor). All this happened back in the USSR. In the 1990s. Vasiliev became one of the shadow masters of the city. Together with the Tambov organized crime group, he participated in the seizure of the seaport and other enterprises. In the 2000s, under Putin, the bandit Vasiliev reached the heights of prosperity. In October 2017, I visited Putin for his 65th birthday (they have known each other for a long time).

Vyritsa is an urban-type settlement; there are about 12 thousand permanent residents (not summer residents). The neighborhoods where they live look something like this:

The barracks were built in who knows what years...

All this is successfully complemented by the palace of the bandit Vasilyev. You can take schoolchildren to Vyritsa. For lessons on modern Russian history. Well, so as not to tell for too long. You can also transport social science students. In order to study the topic “Capitalism for our own”. To make it clear: here are our own, and here are strangers, everything is clear.

We can say with confidence that none of the leaders of Cosa Nostra in America live like this. There are more and more “plumbing managers” there.

Another interesting point: judging by the land cadastre, Vasilyev’s palace in Vyritsa stands on a plot of 4.1 hectares, which is allocated for a “health care facility” (health complex).

You can rest assured about the health of Vasiliev’s authority. But the rest of the residents of the village of Vyritsa are being treated at the local district hospital on Moskovskaya Street, 12. This healthcare facility is only 4 km from the bandit palace, but here life is completely different... The main problem is that the sewerage collector next to it has long since fallen into disrepair and is leaking hospital. Feces spread throughout the area, spreading all the delights of unsanitary conditions. Fix it? - But there is no money.
