The co-owners of the Kvartal 95 studio received more than $1.3 million from the Russian budget through an offshore company. After this, the company was transferred, in particular, to the boyfriend of its former Russian employee.

This is stated in a new investigation by " Info" We are talking in particular about such “kvartalovtsy” Until the beginning of 2022, the “kvartalovtsy” belonged to the Cyprus company Green Family Ltd. In 2021, the company collected a record $7.7 million from royalties (for granting the right to use intellectual property) - this is 4.6 times more than in 2020, and 23 times more than in 2019.

As of May 2019, this company was the owner of three Russian enterprises: Weisberg Pictures, Platinumfilm and Green Films.. The first two companies showed poor financial results, but on December 27, 2021, the third received 99.5 million rubles from the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK) (more than $1.3 million at the then exchange rate). “As of December 31, these funds were spent, and a little more than 8 million rubles remained in the account. That is, somewhere they carried out all these transactions at once quite quickly. Indeed, a company that declares revenues of more than 110 million immediately showed expenses of more than 95 million,” explained Anti-Corruption Center analyst Antonina Volkotrub.

Who exactly ultimately received these funds is not indicated in the Green Family reports, and Mindich, Yakovlev and Sergei Shefir did not respond to messages and calls from journalists, and Boris Shefir refused to talk about it. However, at the same time, the Cypriot company changed its ownership structure:.

Judging by the social networks of 51-year-old Zalivskis, he is a laborer and goes to Norway to work.. In the fall of 2018, a man published a video on social networks with a hammer and a plane and said that he was building houses in England, and on October 6, 2024, he posed in a jacket branded by Oslo VVS-Service (a Norwegian company providing plumbing services. In 2025, he published an artificial intelligence-generated image of himself in overalls and holding a tape measure and an adjustable wrench..

" In this connection, there is reason to believe that a person may be a nominal owner,” concludes Nikolai Salimov, a lawyer at the Mezha anti-corruption center..

Roberts Zalivskis – son of Igors. When he became director of Green Family Ltd in December 2021, he was only 18 years old.

But they are not random persons. From 2014 to mid-2022, the director of Green Family Ltd was Russian woman Marina Razumova. In 2014-2019, she managed the company together with the wife of the now ex-head of the Security Service of Ukraine Ivan Bakanov, Oksana Lazarenko - judging by the mutual congratulations on the New Year holidays, the women still maintain warm relations.

Razumova is the godmother of one of the sons of Elina Botushanskaya, who has many common photos with Igors on social networks. It follows from this that they are definitely a couple, although it is not known whether their relationship is officially registered.

As Nikolai Salimov, a lawyer for the Mezha anti-corruption center, notes, Igors Zalivskis may be a figurehead and represents the interests of the previous owners.
