Alexei Kudrin: wives, children, friends, family business. Daughter of the Minister of Finance Polina Kudrina in the company of drunken "golden youth" on a Range Rover rammed a watering machine and a lingerie store Aleksey Kudrin daughter

Mr. Matvienko was indeed driving the prestigious Range Rover car in the center of St. Petersburg. "Fontanka" became aware of the details of the scandalous accident at the intersection of Nevsky and Liteiny avenues. The participant in the resonant incident was not the son of the governor, as previously reported in the media, but Mikhail, the stepson of a well-known Russian-Ukrainian businessman, president of the Smart Holding Group of Companies, Vadim Novinsky, who also controls Lukoil Severo-Zapad Nefteprodukt.

On April 5 at 5 am, at the corner of Nevsky and Liteiny prospects, an accident occurred that attracted the attention of the city public with scandalous details. Some “eyewitnesses” reported that an expensive Range Rover SUV first crashed into a standing watering machine, and then into a shop window selling lingerie. Curiosity was spurred on by the fact that immediately after the accident, license plates were removed from the car.

Witnesses said that “a man very similar to the son of the governor of St. Petersburg” got out of the car. However, Sergey Matvienko denied this information. The businessman told Fontanka that for several years now he has not driven and only drives with a driver. In addition, at the time of the incident, the Range Rover owned by the head of VTB-Development was being repaired outside the Russian Federation.

As it turned out, the driver of the car that crashed into the window was the businessman's namesake, who, according to some reports, introduced himself as the governor's son, then her nephew, and, finally, an adviser Valentina Matvienko. In fact, it was 24-year-old Mikhail Matvienko, the son of Maria Novinskaya (who bore the surname Matvienko until 2002) and the stepson of businessman Vadim Novinsky. Police officers, forced to study the personality of a young offender, found that Mikhail Matvienko lives and studies in London, and arrived in St. Petersburg for the Easter holidays. On the night of the accident, he was relaxing in one of the clubs in the city. Fontanka journalists found out that the impostor had been detained by the traffic police before: a couple of years ago in the Central District for driving while intoxicated. Then he also tried to use a well-known surname in St. Petersburg and even presented a certificate of an adviser to the governor, threatening the employees with his “mother”. At that time, they did not have time to seize the crusts from him, since when exposed, Mikhail simply ate the “ksiva”.

Head of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of St. Petersburg Vladislav Piotrovsky commented on the incident to Fontanka: “We have known the culprit of the accident with a sonorous surname for a long time and are not surprised by his art. He constantly threatens to fire my subordinates, hiding behind the name of the governor. As for his stepfather, he, in my opinion, is a decent person, at least last time he sincerely apologized for his son.

The information that it was not Sergei, but Mikhail Matvienko who was driving the car, was also confirmed to Fontanka by the traffic police. As it turned out, the Range Rover car that got into an accident belongs to the mother of the culprit of the accident, Maria Novinskaya. The woman has owned the car since 2006. Also, two 500s Mercedes are registered to it.

Her son does not own cars, but he is the founder of several St. Petersburg companies: Insurance Technology LLC, Metamorph Arredi Iprogetti LLC and Inconfidence LLC.

The well-being of mother and son Matvienko began to grow from the beginning of the century. It was then that Maria became the wife of the famous Ukrainian multi-oligarch of St. Petersburg origin Vadim Novinsky.

The businessman was born in 1963, graduated from the Leningrad Academy of Civil Aviation. As of today, Vadim Novinsky owns a number of industrial assets in Ukraine, such as: Inguletsky GOK, part of the Southern GOK, Kherson Shipyard, controls the metallurgical industry, and also has assets in the food industry. His Smart Group holding owns a 50% stake in Veres Group of Companies, known as the first canning empire of Ukraine. In turn, "Veres" controls a number of agricultural enterprises, one of the largest mushroom farms in Eastern Europe, CJSC "Ukrshampignon" and two research laboratories. In addition, Smart Group owns several facilities in the gaming and entertainment industry.

Novinsky appeared on the Ukrainian market with the "Smart Group" he created as an intermediary in the supply of Russian oil products to large enterprises of the mining and metallurgical complex and soon significantly expanded the range of his interests. According to media reports, the oligarch controls the largest player in the regional fuel market in Russia - the Lukoil-North-West-nefteprodukt company. Novinsky's main business partners are Alisher Usmanov and “oligarch number 1” in Ukraine - Rinat Akhmetov.

Alexei Kudrin is the former head of the Russian Ministry of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, who held the ministerial post for the longest time of all officials in modern Russia. The ex-finance minister is considered one of the most promising figures in the political arena of the Russian Federation, who, even after his resignation, plays an important role in the country's economy and socio-political life. On account of the long-term head of the Ministry of Finance, there are many achievements, the largest of which is the country's withdrawal from the global financial crisis with the least losses.

Kudrin Alexey Leonidovich was born on October 12, 1960. The nationality and real name of the future financier have repeatedly become the cause of disputes and discussions in the press. It is known that Kudrin was born in the Latvian city of Dobele. His father was a Soviet soldier, which forced the future Minister of Finance of Russia to become a traveler from birth - at the age of 8, young Alexei and his parents moved to Mongolia. Already at the age of 11, the boy ended up in Transbaikalia, and after 3 years the family went to Arkhangelsk, where Alexei graduated from high school No. 17.

After graduating from school, Alexei Leonidovich moved to Leningrad and worked for 2 years as an auto mechanic and practical instructor at the Academy of Transport and Logistics of the USSR Ministry of Defense. After that, the young man entered the Faculty of Economics of the Leningrad State University, from which he graduated in 1983. Having received a diploma in economics, Kudrin was distributed by distribution to the Institute of Socio-Economic Problems at the USSR Academy of Sciences, where he met with, who played an important role in the fate of the future Minister of Finance.

In 1985, having established himself as a promising economist, Alexei entered the graduate school of the Institute of Economics at the Academy of Sciences and in 1988 defended his Ph.D. thesis. From that moment on, the professional biography of Alexei Leonidovich is closely connected with the financial sector.

In 1990, Alexei Kudrin was appointed deputy to Anatoly Chubais, who served as head of the economic reform committee in the Leningrad City Executive Committee. Then the future finance minister got into the team of the mayor of Leningrad Anatoly Sobchak and met the future president of Russia, who at that time was a KGB officer.

Until 1996, Kudrin held various positions related to economics and finance in the city administration of St. Petersburg, from where, together with many well-known political figures of the Russian Federation, he moved to the government of the country and where he began working under the leadership of the ex-president of the Russian Federation.

Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation

In the administration of the Russian head, Alexei Kudrin, as well as in the mayor's office of Leningrad, became the deputy of Chubais, who headed the Presidential Administration. At the same time, the official was appointed head of the KRU, deputy Russian manager at the IMF and the EBRD. In 1997, he became Deputy Minister of Finance of Russia, vacating the post of head of the KRU for Vladimir Putin.

In 2000, Alexei Leonidovich Kudrin was elected to the post of Deputy Prime Minister of the Presidential Government of Russia and Minister of Finance, and in 2002 he headed the National Banking Council at the Bank of Russia. In 2004, he lost his post as Deputy Prime Minister, but continued to work as head of the Ministry of Finance. In the same period, Kudrin joined the government commission of the Russian Federation on investment projects.

Anatoly Leonidovich served as Minister of Finance until 2011 inclusive. The reason for Kudrin's high-profile resignation was disagreements with the ex-president and prime minister of the Russian Federation regarding economic policy, which Kudrin repeatedly criticized. Then the official lost his government posts and handed over leadership to the Ministry of Finance, which continued Kudrin's policy in the Ministry of Finance to contain and enforce the budget.

The achievements of Alexei Kudrin in the ministerial post have become significant for the Russian economy. Thanks to Kudrin, a tax reform was carried out in the country, VAT rates were reduced, a “flat scale” of income tax was introduced, Russian legislation was changed, from which loopholes for legal tax evasion were excluded. Alexei Leonidovich achieved a reduction in the country's external debt and created the first "non-oil and gas budget", which was adopted by the State Duma without corrections.

Russian head Vladimir Putin is proud that Kudrin worked in the Russian government - an official who strengthened the Russian economy and solved a number of large-scale economic problems, which brought the state to a decent level in Europe.

After his resignation from the government, Alexei Kudrin took up scientific and economic activities - he returned to St. Petersburg and became dean of the Faculty of Liberal Sciences at the IEP. . At the same time, Aleksey Kudrin's forecasts are still relevant for the Russian economy today.

In 2012, Kudrin, along with other political figures, created the Committee of Civil Initiatives. Determination of the best option for the economic development of the state is the main goal of the organization.

Since 2013, Kudrin has been included in the Economic Council under the President of the Russian Federation, which indicates the continuation of a career as a statesman and promises unexpected changes in the future of an economist.

Personal life

Irina Tintyakova, the second wife of Alexei Kudrin, at the time of meeting her future husband, worked as an assistant secretary for the press attaché of Anatoly Chubais. The woman struck the head of the Ministry of Finance with her temperament and attractive appearance, so the man did not hesitate to make an offer to Irina.

Kudrin's second wife bore him a son, Artem. After the marriage, the wife of the former head of the Ministry of Finance left her journalistic activities and headed the Northern Crown Charitable Foundation, which provides assistance to orphanages and boarding schools.

From his first marriage with Veronika Sharova, the economist has a daughter, Polina, who, after her parents divorced, stayed with her mother in St. Petersburg and today has become a successful businesswoman and founder of the Grand Prix Art Center LLC.

The former finance minister is considered a non-public person and prefers family vacations to secular and noisy events. A busy work schedule does not allow paying due attention to the family, but every year in the winter, Kudrin allocates a short vacation to visit a ski resort in Austria, where he devotes himself to communicating with his wife and son. In addition to skiing, Alexey Leonidovich is fond of hockey and tennis.

Alexey Kudrin now

The opinion of Alexei Kudrin is often listened to even today. Currently, Kudrin is the chairman of the board of the Center for Strategic Research Foundation (CSR). The ex-minister constantly comments on the problems that exist in the economy, and also offers specific solutions to crisis situations in the financial sector.

In May 2017, Kudrin presented a new economic program to Vladimir Putin. According to Aleksey Leonidovich, the new plan will make it possible to determine the strategy for the development of the economy for many years, accelerating the growth rate. However, the head of the Russian state did not take any decisions following the meeting.

In June 2017, Kudrin said that the Ministry of Finance cut government spending too much when drafting the budget for 2018-2020. The official called the budget parameters quite reasonable, but considered that Anton Siluanov's department approached the consolidation of government spending too harshly.

"It would not be worth dropping below 34 percent of GDP in expenditures due to the fact that we have big tasks to finance structural changes in the public sector and the country's infrastructure - education, healthcare," Kudrin said.

According to Aleksey Leonidovich, the plans of the Ministry of Finance to cut spending will have a detrimental effect on the economy, since there is a gradual decrease in the purchasing power of citizens.

Kudrin also commented on the statements of representatives of the Russian financial system, who have repeatedly said that economic growth is expected in the country by the end of 2017. At the economic forum in St. Petersburg, Alexei Leonidovich expressed his opinion on this matter, noting that the lack of skills and abilities of representatives of the state apparatus is the main problem affecting the economic breakthrough.

“In order for the country to grow rapidly, more initiative and energetic people with the appropriate skills, abilities and professionalism are needed. And we have such people who are able to create new companies, develop them in new technological industries, there are simply not enough. We did not educate them, today there is no such culture. New solutions are proposed in the development program until 2035. One of the ways is the privatization of large corporations so that private initiative can work there more,” Alexei Kudrin believes.

Users of social networks, including the Instagram network, continue to discuss the activities of the former minister. On the official website of Alexei Kudrin, you can get acquainted with his future plans, as well as find out his position on specific economic issues.

The new website election2012.ru published the report “Family Power-2011. Government. Part 1”, prepared by the “Monitoring Expert Group” created by Marina Litvinovich.

This is the result of the work of the last three hellish months, during which a huge amount of material and information was shoveled.

Now the report has 17 parts. 18 people from the Government are described. The rest will come out by May. We focused on nepotism - businesses tied not only to members of the government, but also to their wives, children, and next of kin. All are placed in the right places. Control the sweetest flows.

Everything was written according to open sources, which were carefully rechecked. Available databases were also used. First of all, the base of registration of legal entities (USRLE) and reporting of companies.

Impact on business

Since 1991, Alexei Kudrin has worked in the St. Petersburg City Hall, since 1993 - as Chairman of the Committee on Economics and Finance (KEF). This structure figured in the investigation of the activities of the real estate company "Renaissance". Its owner, Anna Evglevskaya, according to the Kommersant newspaper, “built elite 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 $54,000 she organized a very profitable resettlement of an apartment for the mayor of St. Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak, which bordered the mayor's apartment through the wall. According to the testimony of a realtor, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case against the mayor of St. Petersburg, who fled the country. A number of employees of the mayor's office, including the future head of the department for ensuring the activities of the reception and office of the President of Russia Viktor Kruchinin, were arrested.

• Kudrin is preparing Russia for total unemployment?

Chairman of the St. Petersburg Creative Union of Journalists, head of the media holding "AZHUR" Andrey 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 Petersburg. The official contributed to the illegal signing of documents, which were used to receive several hundred million rubles, allegedly intended for the repair of a heating main. In the press, with the mention of the Deputy Chairman of the CEF Sergey Vyazalov, this episode was described 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 economy was supervised by the former vice-mayor of St. Petersburg Vladimir Putin. Attached to the case is an order signed by him dated 07.10.1994 “On the activities of the Specialized Production and Household State Enterprise” (SPBGP). The document mentioned the disposal of unclaimed bodies and the need to make changes in budgetary spending. Putin entrusted control over the execution of his order to Alexei Kudrin. According to investigators, the number of unclaimed bodies in St. Petersburg was systematically overestimated, and funding was embezzled.

According to the story of Alfred Nobel's family 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 hard currency (in Swedish kronor) to restore the neglected Nobel graves at the Smolensk Lutheran cemetery. According to the cemetery workers, this financial assistance did not reach them - a small repair of the graves was 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 notified that in general it was about $40,000 spent improperly. Alexei Kudrin, during interrogation, 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, Sergey 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 on granting state loans to the corporation for several million dollars. Money "Twentieth Trust" transferred to more than two dozen firms in Spain, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, Ireland and the United States. The investigation was closed after the inauguration of Vladimir Putin as President of Russia. According to the leaders of the investigation team, they were subjected to unprecedented pressure.

In 2000, Alexei Kudrin was involved in criminal case No. 31913, being summoned for interrogation. The investigation was conducted regarding housing loans, which Kudrin, working in the mayor's office, since 1993 distributed at the expense of the budget among his St. Petersburg employees.

Critics accused the finance minister of lobbying the investment bank KIT Finance. Kommersant and other business media indicated that KIT Finance had a "very strong lobby in the government." Alexei 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. was a businessman Otar Marganiya - a native of the widely represented in the 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 a close personal and business relationship 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 Alexei Kudrin as minister, the above-mentioned persons appeared in financial and political conflicts related to the struggle for control over the assets of the Russian diamond monopoly, AK ALROSA. A significant stake in the company belonged to the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). In 2001, during the presidential elections in Yakutia, IC BALTONEXIM Finance Alexander Vinokurov filed an application with the prosecutor's office demanding that the head of the region, Mikhail Nikolaev, be prosecuted 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 Kompaniya magazine wrote that the actions of BALTONEXIM Finance could be carried out at the request of Otar Margania, a freelance adviser Alexei 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 Russian Finance Minister headed the board of directors of ALROSA.

• Alexei Kudrin acted as an intermediary between the authorities and the opposition
  

After Kudrin's entry into the diamond mining industry in 2002, Web-Invest Bank, being a small St. Petersburg credit institution, became the underwriter for the issue of bonds by AK ALROSA and the general agent for arranging a bond issue in Yakutia. ALROSA began to place large sums on deposits in the bank of Alexander Vinokurov supervised by Otar Marganiya - in particular, in 2004, temporarily free funds in the amount of $75 million were transferred to Web-Invest Bank.

At the same time as Alexei Kudrin, Fedorov Andreev was appointed to ALROSA, where 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 CJSC LenRos Invest. The founder of the CJSC was Fedor Andreev, Vinokurov's colleague at Tveruniversalbank and BALTONEXIM Bank. It follows from the quarterly reports of KIT-Finance that in 2002 Andreev controlled 19.99% of the bank through Composition-Asset Management LLC.

In 2003-09 Vinokurov's friend worked at Russian Railways OJSC, whose shares were placed with him by the same Web Invest Bank. In July 2009, Fedor Andreev returned to 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 key decision-making system in the Russian diamond industry as follows: “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 a great influence on the minister. Forbes interlocutors are also sure that it is his companies that now own a significant share of the shares of the investment group not controlled by ALROSA.

The “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 placed under the control of the group the largest promising deposits of gold and precious stones - up to 200 million carats of diamonds in the Arkhangelsk region and 700 tons of gold in Yakutia.

ALROSA IG was formed from the structures of the Moscow-based Sobinbank, which appeared in a scandal about the laundering of billions of dollars through the American Bank of New York (BoNY). According to Forbes, “At a hearing in the Southern District of New York court in the case of $15.3 million arrested on Sobinbank’s correspondent account in BoNY … the court agreed with the opinion of the US authorities that Sobinbank’s correspondent account, like a number of other accounts , served as "a conduit for clandestine transfers of approximately $7 billion from Russia to finance suspicious or illegal transactions."

Since 2001, Khalid Aprilevich Omarov, the co-owner of Sobinbank, has been the chairman of the board of IG ALROSA - 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 IG ALROSA was considered a businessman close to the Chechen community. In addition, information that has not been refuted until now has been repeatedly published that Khalid Omarov is a close relative of cousins ​​Georgy Safiyev and Imran Ilyasov. The first of them is the head of the Russian Capital bank, who was killed in 2002 in the United States. The second was convicted as the leader of the "Kingisepp" organized criminal group, which specialized in contract killings.

According to SPARK-Interfax, IG ALROSA, whose curator Forbes names Otar Margania, controlled the shares of 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 the income extracted 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, ALROSA placed 1.6 billion rubles on 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 version 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 area of ​​​​the Rublevo-Uspenskoye highway. By purchasing shares, their new owners were going to use the area for commercial development. As a result, as the Vedomosti newspaper reported, 900 hectares of land were bought up by a group of investors led by Vozrozhdenie Bank and ALROSA IG. The total value of the land asset was determined at $3 billion.

At the same time, news agencies 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 the company’s funds, possibly used to seize the lands of Moscow Stud Farm No. 1.”

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

Oleksandr Nichiporuk indeed since 1994 served as chairman of the board of the Entrepreneurship Development Bank. Since 2003, he was Vice President of AK ALROSA, in 2004-07. led the company. The media have repeatedly called Nichiporuk "a protege of the Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin" and his longtime colleague.

Based on the testimony of Hamlet Hakobyan, in 2005 a criminal case was opened on embezzlement. According to investigators, due to the placement of a deliberately unprofitable deposit in Vozrozhdenie Bank, ALROSA lost 153 million rubles. In the same year, the prosecutor's office closed the case "due to the absence of a crime event." In an interview with Kommersant, Hamlet Hakobyan noted that he was not surprised by such a procedural decision: “As soon as they realized that Kudrin himself should be a defendant in this case, everyone ran. 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 partners. As a result of a series of actions, on October 8, 2008, a consortium of investors consisting of IG ALROSA and OJSC Russian Railways acquired 45% of the shares of KIT Finance. The heads of the railway department were asked to intervene - the recovery 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 Russian Railways.

The reorganization of the private bank KIT Finance, close to the Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin, which owed money 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 embezzle from the federal budget under the pretext of covering the losses of Sodexim Bank. This private credit institution bought up their debts to the former USSR from several African countries. According to investigators, the amount that the bank demanded to pay from the Russian budget as compensation is overstated 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 get acquainted with the collected evidence base. According to the Investigative Committee of Russia, the person involved in the investigation is deliberately dragging out the case in the hope that the Arbitration Court will satisfy the claim of Sodexim against 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 5 million rubles The wife of deputy Kudrin does not agree that during the search, $1 million belonging to her was seized and kept for a long time.

In the criminal case of the Twentieth Trust Corporation, investigated in 1999, employees of Alexei Kudrin appeared, who later moved to Moscow and were employed by the Ministry of Finance. Thus, Dmitry Pankin, Kudrin's deputy in St. Petersburg (he signed 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 Financial Markets Service (FFMS).

A personal friend of the chairman of the Supervisory Board of VTB Bank Alexei Kudrin, the media call the former deputy president of this financial organization, Vadim Levin from St. Petersburg. In turn, Levin's close acquaintance and Kudrin's probable acquaintance from St. Petersburg is businessman Shota Boterashvili - like Otar Margania, a representative of the Ebraeli urban community. In the 1990s Boterashvili, according to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, was held as 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 imprisoned, having been convicted of kidnapping two subsequently murdered natives of Georgia.

Companies of the Boterashvili family appeared in the schemes through which the ownership of the assets of the Shaumyan plant was registered. In the property conflict for control over this enterprise, as reported by the St. character.

Later, the commercial operations of Shota Boterashvili and his relatives are closely connected with VTB Bank. In 2005, the entrepreneur, according to him, as the "chief adviser" 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 area of ​​Malaya Nevka. The original beneficiary of Naberezhnaya Evropy, businessman Sergei Lvov, is trying to prove in court that his assets, owned by VTB, were seized by criminal means.

In 2009, there was a major scandal around the cooperation between Boterashvili and VTB Bank, implemented under Vadim Levin. The incident is related to an agreement concluded in 2007 between VTB-Leasing and 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 units were to be leased to Well Drilling Corporation. The contract was estimated at $456.9 million, with customs duties and fees - $650 million.

It turned out that the Cypriot company is an intermediary, the Chinese Sichuan Honghua Petroleum Equipment produces drilling rigs, and the manufacturer costs about $10 million per unit of production. Thus, the total damage during the purchase could be about $160 million. Despite appeals, the criminal case was not opened. In 2010, Well Drilling Corporation LLC was declared bankrupt. In March 2011, VTB minority shareholder Alexei Navalny filed a lawsuit against VTB-Leasing, the Cypriot company Clusseter Limited and Well Drilling Corporation with the Moscow Arbitration Court, trying to challenge the deal to purchase drilling rigs.

Boterashvili, according to Novaya Gazeta, 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. Sergey Matvienko, the son of the Governor of St. Petersburg, is the Chairman of the Management Board of ZAO VTB-Development.

Prior to that, she managed to get a law degree, get married, give birth to two children and dramatically change the field of activity, having received the education of an art critic at the Academy of Arts. “There I realized that there are working adults who would like to study, but there is no time or resources for a university,” recalls Polina Bondareva. It is worth remembering that the entrepreneur's father, Alexei Kudrin, is the dean of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

About cinema and music

She invested 5 million rubles of personal savings in the opening of the school. With these funds, Polina rented a room on Italian Street. with an area of ​​150 m2, made repairs, hired teachers, including those whom she met during her own studies. “There was no money for advertising, but we held several free lectures, and almost immediately we managed to gain an audience - at first there were many people who were preparing to enter foreign universities,” the entrepreneur recalls. She says that she expected to recoup the investment in 13-15 months, but in the end it turned out even faster.

Now the company has six employees, four of them are administrators. More than 25 teachers work freelance at the school who teach courses in the history of arts, literature, cinema, music, theater, etc. Revenue has reached 1.2 million rubles a month, the bulk of the profit comes from paying for annual courses, but there are also paid one-time lectures, and multi-course courses. This year, the owner has rented a nearby 190 m2 space and plans to open new courses, including for children. "Now our audience is more diverse - at first there were more young people, now they are often married couples, older people," says Polina Bondareva. She says that she has already received offers to sell the franchise, but so far she is not seriously considering them. “In the end, if we are ready, then, probably, we will be able to open ourselves, for example, in Moscow,” she says.

How to create a school in five steps

1. Idea

Concept and program

To begin with, obviously, you need to choose a direction - whether it will be a language school, or a painting school, or a sommelier school, all further actions depend on this. Then you need to develop a training program in general terms and calculate the cost. In more detail, the lesson program will have to be worked out with the help of teachers.

Costs - 0 rubles

Time - 30 days

2. Registration

Registration of a legal entity

If in the future you plan to obtain a state license (this will allow you to issue certificates of completion of courses and give you an advantage in the market), it is better to form an LLC right away. The license itself is a temporary rather than a financial investment, requiring submission of a course program and passing scrutiny. Registration of an LLC includes a state duty, a seal, a Criminal Code, a legal address with mail, etc.

Costs - 32 thousand rubles

Time - 17 days

3. Employees

Selection of teachers

Teachers are the most important asset of an educational institution, they should be looked for in specialized universities and other institutions - museums, galleries, etc., depending on the field. You don’t need to take them on the staff, lectures are most often paid by the hour, so at the start of the salary it’s not the most important expense, but then it will become one of the main regular expenses.

Costs - from 40 thousand rubles

Time - 20 days

4. Room

Rental and renovation of premises

At the start of a business, this part is the most expensive - the premises (at least 100 m2) should be located near the city center so that students can easily get to them. And the repair also includes the purchase of equipment - this is ventilation in the classrooms, projectors that are needed for almost any lecture, furniture (tables and chairs). In total, this will have to spend at least 1.5 million rubles.

Costs - 1.5 million rubles

Attracting students

In order to attract an audience, in addition to the usual channels (social networks, contextual advertising), you can hold free lectures, master classes, seminars, participate in festivals and various thematic events. This requires printing, consumables, involved specialists.

Costs - from 50 thousand rubles

Time - 20 days

Total

How much do private courses cost

To open an educational institution for adults, you will have to spend at least 1.6 million rubles, but preparation most often takes several months. If you sell subscriptions to courses (as almost all market participants do), this is actually an advance payment, so the costs will pay off in one or two seasons. In a year or two, you can achieve revenues of 9-10 million rubles, but for expansion you will have to look for a more spacious room. Polina Bondareva estimates the profitability of the business at about 10-20%.
