Medvedev's condition is estimated for a year. Is Vladimir Putin the richest or most powerful person in the world? William Browder's opinion

Through Sberbank, the team of the President of Russia withdraws state money to the United States, turning it into their private property along the way

In 1992, the St. Petersburg company Finzell was formed, which soon established the company CJSC Ilim Pulp Enterprise (IPE) ( registration number "AOL-1546, authorized capital in the amount of 1,000,000 rubles). Among the founders of Finzell CJSC, in addition to Zakhar Davidovich Smushkin and brothers Zingarevichs included a St. Petersburg lawyer Dmitry Medvedev, now known as " President of Russian Federation" At the same time, at Finzell CJSC Medvedev owned 50%, and Ilim Pulp Enterprise - 20% . This important fact in 2000 wasspecified Accounts Chamber in a special report on the raider seizures carried out by the Zingarevich brothers and the future president of the Russian Federation.

The estimated value of the Ilim holding reached $1.5 billion by 2005. Therefore, there is reason to believe that Dmitry Anatolyevich’s personal capital even before his presidency was approaching a billion dollars.

This property is disguised, since Medvedev has been a civil servant for more than 11 years and cannot formally deal with commercial issues. Magazine "Profile" describes history of capital: " Medvedev's business partners were not particularly clean in their conduct of business. In the fall of 1999, realizing that the matter was steadily heading towards an unpleasant trial, Medvedev hastily left the ranks of the management of Ilim and resigned from the founders of the Finzell company. Just at the moment when the state began checking the legality of a number of Ilim’s privatization projects. As a result, it became clear, for example, that the privatization of one of the largest enterprises of the company, the Kotlas Pulp and Paper Mill, was illegal. But this no longer had anything to do with Medvedev*. And by that time he no longer lived in St. Petersburg... Already in November 1999... Medvedev was appointed to the post of deputy chief of staff of the government Dmitry Kozak. And in December he became deputy head of the Kremlin administration Alexandra Voloshina ».

Forbes in 2006 rated the company as 24th in the ranking of non-public corporations. In the same year, it was the Ilim Pipe team that lobbied for the adoption of the forest code, after which came into force in 2007, Russian forests burned down in 2010.

Ilim enterprises produce 60% of Russian pulp and 25% of cardboard. In 2007, Ilima enterprisesproduced 1.6 million tons of commercial pulp, 755,700 tons of cardboard and 258,800 tons of paper . The volume of own timber harvesting during this period amounted to 7.1 million cubic meters. m. The total number of personnel is over 20 thousand people. The group's turnover in 2007 amounted to 19 billion rubles,net profit - 3 billion rubles. (according to RAS, taking into account the reorganization of the company from July 1, 2007). Revenue in 2007according to IFRS — $1.805 billion.

At the end of October 2006, an agreement was announced that 50% of Swiss-registered Ilim Holding, which owned more than 75% plus 1 share of Ilim Pulp's pulp and paper assets, would be sold to the American timber company International Paper. WhereinIlim Pulpa's timber processing assets were not included in the deal . Later, in 2007, Ilim's timber processing assets were spun off into a separate company "Ilim Timber Industry ».

Today, the official owners of Ilim are the Swiss company Ilim Holding, which is owned in equal shares, on the one hand, by the AmericanInternational Paper and, on the other hand, Russian shareholders (including the chairman of the board of directors of the group Zakhar Davidovich Smushkin, members of the board of directors Boris and Mikhail Zingarevichi, Leonid Erukhimovich). CEO is American Paul Herbert .

Zakhar Davidovich Smushkin Leonid Erukhimovich Paul Herbert

It is definitely difficult to say which of them is specifically responsible for “a small share” of Dmitry Anatolyevich. Be that as it may, it was Mikhail Zingarevich, a member of the board of directors of the company, at a charity auction at the Christmas Fair in St. Petersburg in 2010 bought a photo of the Tobolsk Kremlin taken by Dmitry Medvedev for 51 million rubles .

IN Lately Ilim, like Medvedev’s personal wallet, is gradually withdrawing funds abroad. Moreover, the money is provided by the state-owned Sberbank, which finances the offshore investments of the President of Russia in the economy of the United States and other developed countries. Recently, Ilim Timber closed a deal to buy 100% of Tolleson Lumber Company, the newspaper reported."Vedomosti" . Tolleson is one of the largest independent companies in the southern United States. A family-owned company founded in Georgia in 1919, Tolleson operates two sawmills in Perry and Preston, each producing 450,000 cubic meters. m of lumber per year. Tolleson sawmills are large for their region; the average capacity of local enterprises does not exceed 150,000 cubic meters. m

Such an asset became the first “forest” investment Medvedev-Zingarevich-Smushkina-Eruhimov icha in America, the deal will increase Timber's capacity by almost a quarter - to 3.9 million cubic meters. m of lumber per year. The parties did not disclose the purchase price, but Tolleson could cost $50-65 million. It is assumed that the sales markets for the new assets, in addition to the United States, will be China and Japan, which will soon need a large number of building materials to restore destroyed infrastructure.

The situation when, through Sberbank and the Zingareviches, the Russian budget is transferred to a foreign business that is associated with Dmitry Medvedev is quite typical. As the site's correspondents wrote: "Fontanka.ru" , in August 2010, with the support of Sberbank, the Zingarevichs formalized a deal to acquire two factories in Germany. The enterprises, for which the former owners managed to earn about 100 million euros, in their total capacity provide the new owners with about 2 million cubic meters of building materials per year. According to Ilim Timber, the factories mainly work for the markets of China and the Middle East.

In native In St. Petersburg, the Zingarevich brothers, in addition toscandalouscharities are known for their development projects. Their interests include reconstruction of Vosstaniya Square and Konyushennaya Square. In addition, firms controlled by businessmen received a number of historical buildings from the city last year - Mr. and Champ de Mars, 1, letter A; Konyushennaya Square, 1, letter A; on Nevsky Prospekt, 7-9; embankment of the Moika River, 26, - for reconstruction for hotel accommodation.

Well, this whole story, as well as the transfer of the capital of the largest timber processor to the jurisdiction of the United States and the specificity in the choice of partners, largely explain the close friendship of the Russian President with Washington and his diligence in eating hamburgers with the President Obama. The main thing in this matter is not to choke.

What kind of people, and under guard!

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is one of the creators of the largest corruption schemes, according to the Navalny Foundation. “We found all the residences in Russia and abroad, found all the vineyards and damn elusive yachts and established where and who sailed on them,” say the authors of a new FBK investigation published on March 2. And they conclude: “He’s not Dimon for you. He’s a serious, corrupt guy.”

What cases are interesting to justice?

Investigations by the Anti-Corruption Foundation could worsen crime statistics in Russia. The website fbk.info allegedly published fraudulent schemes for theft from the treasury, documents on the illegal acquisition of plots of land, on the construction of dachas in security zones and expensive purchases of senior officials. But Russian justice is busy pursuing cases against Navalny himself.

"Hunting at the shooting range"

Transparency International calls the fight against corruption in the Russian Federation a hunt that only resembles a real one: “It’s shooting from a prepared gun at pre-arranged targets.” Suspicion is raised by criminal cases that look like eliminating competitors. For example, the case of Minister Ulyukaev or the ex-head of the Kirov region Nikita Belykh, who was detained in June 2016 while transferring 400 thousand dollars to him.

Corruption in Russia - the most high-profile cases

Rampant embezzlement is not forgiven

Opinion polls show that many Russians consider high-profile cases more like demonstration actions than a real fight against corruption. 26% of those surveyed by the Levada Center placed “full” responsibility for corruption on Vladimir Putin, 33% - “to a large extent.” So the high rating of the Russian president does not mean that citizens forgive him for his rampant bribery and embezzlement.

According to critics, the Russian prime minister can be called one of the richest people in Europe. Officially, however, Vladimir Putin earns a modest six-figure sum and owns only a couple of apartments. Al Jazeera English channel conducted an investigation, as a result of which the documentary"In search of Putin's money."

According to official data, the newly elected Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot be called financially successful: a modest six-figure salary, a couple of real estate properties and several cars. However, critics of the Putin regime claim that the Russian prime minister is one of the richest world leaders, keeping a multibillion-dollar fortune secret. Trying to understand the issue, Al Jazeera English TV channel conducted a journalistic investigation, as a result of which the documentary film “In Search of Putin's Money” was shot.

After 12 years in power, Vladimir Putin secured another 6 years of presidency. His voters see him as the most suitable leader for Russia to get the country back on track after the chaos of the Yeltsin era. But Putin also has opponents, for whom he is associated with everything bad that is in Russia.

« Power must be changeable. It's elementary. It shouldn't be inherited.“says a woman who came out to an anti-Putin protest. For many Russians present at the rally, Putin is inseparable from corruption in power. In the West, for some time there were unconfirmed rumors about his fabulous wealth, the channel reports.

« I suspect that Mr. Putin is the richest man in Europe, says Luke Harding, a journalist for The Guardian. - Possibly throughout the entire planet».

This is somewhat different from the official information on the income of the head of government, provided by the Kremlin last year. As prime minister, Putin received an annual salary of $140,000 and owns two apartments, three cars and a trailer. However, even a superficial glance at one of the most influential politicians in the world reveals his habit of a more luxurious lifestyle.

For example, a Patek Philippe watch for 70 thousand dollars or a Breguet watch for 15 thousand dollars. In general, judging by the photographs, the watches in the collection of Vladimir Putin cost a total of 160 thousand dollars. How can his watch cost more than his annual salary, Al Jazeera asks rhetorically.

The author of the book "Londongrad" Mark Hollingsworth said in an interview with the TV channel that this is a demonstration of wealth and arrogance. " He wears this watch so people can see that he has hidden wealth.", says the publicist. When asked by the TV channel whether the Kremlin considers this watch to be the personal property of Vladimir Putin or state property, the journalists did not receive an answer.

It seems that Putin's position obliges him to have certain luxuries, according to Al Jazeera. For example, this yacht, estimated at about $50 million. It costs $4 million a year to maintain the 50-meter beauty.

« All this shows his intention to live in luxury, almost like an oligarch", says Mark Hollingsworth.

According to diplomatic cables published on the WikiLeaks website, Russia under Putin has become a "virtual mafia state." Also in these telegrams, which got to the site, one can find Putin's accusation of accumulating "illegal income" during his years in power. According to various sources, this wealth is hidden abroad.

Al Jazeera English journalists traveled to St. Petersburg to trace the origin of all these rumors about Putin's wealth. But first they went to the Pskov region, to Marina Salya, a former people's deputy, who devoted an entire investigation to Vladimir Putin's activities in the authorities of St. Petersburg. Salier said that, according to her, Vladimir Putin was behind a multimillion-dollar barter deal, under which raw materials were exported abroad in exchange for food. The food never arrived in St. Petersburg, and Salier kept all the documents.

« The materials went abroad, but no products were received in return. This is where Putin’s guilt is absolutely proven. One hundred percent! And the city in 1992, when there was no food at all, was left without everything. This has been proven 100%, Salye told Al Jazeera. - In addition, we found out that Putin and his committee are concluding barter contracts for the supply of food to the city. He issued licenses and materials: timber, metal, cotton, fuel oil, oil. They all went abroad».

Putin himself denies that he signed these documents. No one will know what really happened: Salye died a week after this interview, Al Jazeera reports.

In St. Petersburg, Al Jazeera managed to find out more. Former investigator for particularly important cases Andrei Zykov told the TV channel about how he handled the case of the Twentieth Trust construction corporation. According to the investigator, budget funds were transferred to the accounts of this corporation in huge quantities.

« A corporation should not give new budgetary funds if it has not paid off its debts. But they gave and gave and gave to her. In return, she paid bribes to officials from the St. Petersburg mayor's office. We investigated and came to the conclusion that the Twentieth Trust Corporation built a house for Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin on Lake Komsomolskoye and built a cottage for him in Spain"- said Andrey Zykov. The investigation was closed due to lack of evidence. The Kremlin never responded to requests for comment on Zykov's allegations.

For many Muscovites, the time of Putin's rule has become associated with prosperity and prosperity, but it was in the capital that Al Jazeera English journalists heard the most serious accusations against him.

One of the most respected political scientists in the country, Stanislav Belkovsky, said that the Russian Prime Minister is unimaginably rich: “ In 2007, they mentioned the figure of $40 billion, but now this figure could increase to $60-70 billion.».

According to Belkovsky, Putin amassed this fortune by secretly owning shares in three major oil companies: 4.5% of Gazprom, 37% of Surgutneftegaz, and 75% of Gunvor. Belkovsky claims that this information was taken from confidential sources close to the presidential circle. The companies themselves deny any involvement with Vladimir Putin.

« I think that Putin and his inner circle sincerely believe that money decides everything in this world, and without money it will not be possible to protect oneself - in the physical and political sense. Money is the deity of the Russian elite"- says political scientist Belkovsky.

Among all these conflicting statements and rumors, there is one indisputable fact: during his time in power, his inner circle became very rich. According to Forbes, Putin's friends include Arkady Rotenberg, whose fortune is estimated at about $1 billion, Yuri Kovalchuk, co-owner of Rossiya Bank ($1.5 billion), co-owner of oil trader Gunvor Gennady Timchenko ($9 billion), Nikolai Shamalov, co-owner of Rossiya Bank (half a billion dollars).

The journalists of the TV channel tried to contact all the named people, but received a response only from Timchenko's lawyers: “ Any suggestion that our client is a "close friend" of Mr. Putin is incorrect. He owes his success to many years of hard work».

Also, the attention of Al Jazeera journalists was attracted by a palace built on the Black Sea coast. Businessman Sergei Kolesnikov, who had dealings with Nikolai Shamalov in the past and now lives in exile, told the TV channel about the complicated financial scheme and said the following: “ We did not think that all this money would be spent on the construction of the palace… It was originally planned that it would be a small building in 2000 square meters, on the shore. Then, after 2006, plans changed, and a huge palace complex grew out of this “small building”. I annually - two or three times a year - prepared a report on the investments that were made in the Russian economy, and handed them over to Shamalov or Gorelov at those moments when they directly went to Putin for instructions, and so on." According to official data, however, this palace is in no way connected with the Kremlin or Mr. Putin.

Residents of a village located next to the palace told the TV channel that Putin visited this place. " Of course I saw it. What's so scary about this? He walked around the city, strolled along the embankment. He is a person like everyone else", one of the residents said. Testimonies from residents, Kolesnikov's statements, documents, as well as the strictest security of this place - all this indicates that this property is connected with Putin, Al Jazeera English journalists say. But the exact status of the palace remains a mystery.

« Like all the statements we've explored in this film, any question about Putin's state of affairs raises even more questions... Russia remains a global power playing important role on the international stage, so the mystery surrounding this man is important to us all"- says TV channel journalist Sarah Spiller.

During the reporting period, Medvedev received 8 million 586 thousand 974 rubles and 69 kopecks. According to documents from the previous year, the prime minister's income was just over 8.767 million rubles. Thus, Medvedev lost 180 thousand in income.

The prime minister also declared an apartment (367.8 sq. m.) in ownership and a land plot (4,700 sq. m.) in use, as well as two cars (GAZ-20 and GAZ-21) - without a trailer.

Let us note that, following the results of the declaration campaign, the Minister for North Caucasus Affairs showed phenomenal profitability. Its income increased more than 10 times, from 47.8 million rubles according to the 2015 report to 528.1 million rubles for 2016.

The minister's fleet includes a Mercedes A 200, a BMW M5 and a 599 GTB. Judging by the declaration, the minister did not sell any of his real estate in 2016. As in 2015, last year he owned ten plots of land in Russia, a plot of land, a residential building and four garages in France. Compared to last year's declaration, the minister parted ways with the planing boat Sealine T47. The latest declaration no longer contains information about this vehicle.

Another leader of the government's income list is the secretary without portfolio, who is responsible for Open Government in the White House. Its annual revenue growth rate was more than 14%. They increased from 455.6 million rubles in 2015 to 520.9 million rubles in 2016. He still owns a Robinson 44 Clipper II helicopter, a Mercedes S500 4MATIC MAYBACH, a Mercedes AMG G63. He also kept three of his motorcycles.

In the circle of deputy prime ministers, the income status is multidirectional and volatile. Revenues also fell in 2016 compared to 2015. Moreover, the fall in husbands' incomes was accompanied by a reduction in the incomes of their wives.

Thus, First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov’s income for 2016 decreased by 19.9 million rubles from 97.2 million rubles in 2015 to 72.8 million rubles this year. His wife also stated in the declaration that her income had decreased from 92.5 million rubles in 2015 to 61.1 million rubles in 2016. The total drop in income of the Shuvalov family, according to official declarations, is estimated at 51.3 million rubles.

The income of Arkady Dvorkovich's family declined more severely. The family lost 125.9 million rubles over the year. The Deputy Prime Minister himself received 45 million rubles less in income in 2016 than in 2015. In 2016, its official income amounted to only 24.6 million rubles. (69.6 million in 2015). The reduction in income of Arkady Dvorkovich’s wife is estimated at 80.9 million rubles.

Income also decreased for Social Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets - by 7.6 million rubles to 15.6 million rubles in 2016.

Among those who showed negative growth was the family of the Deputy Prime Minister. Together with his wife, the Deputy Prime Minister’s income decreased by 70.2 million rubles. In Dmitry Kozak’s declaration, his income for 2016 is indicated in the amount of 21.6 million rubles compared to 66.7 in 2015. His wife, instead of 29.7 million rubles in 2015, received only 4.6 million rubles in 2016.
