" However, from the data leaks of these organizations, it becomes clear exactly how Rossiya Bank manages the assets of Putin's friends for billions of dollars..

Domain owner llcinvest. ru - Moskomsvyaz company, closely associated with Rossiya Bank. From the leak of metadata of Moskomsvyaz clients, which journalists from Meduza and OCCRP gained access to, it follows that managers, owners and employees of seemingly unrelated companies regularly communicated using mail on this domain.. As it turned out, Moskomsvyaz does not work with private individuals.

By mail to llcinvest. ru is used by Volna LLC, owned by Sergei Rudnov, the son of Putin's friend. From the leak of metadata of Moskomsvyaz clients, it can be seen that the internal accounting of Volna is discussed in correspondence by the manager of a completely different company, which formally has nothing to do with Volna, but also with mail on llcinvest. en.

The fact that companies with mail on the LLCInvest domain not only consult, but also cooperate with each other, journalists learned from another leak. Judging by the correspondence about the construction of the "

The total value of the assets owned by the companies from the LLCInvest cooperative found by Meduza and OCCRP is about $4.5 billion. This is the sum of the assets of all companies from the latest available annual reports that could be found. These are: mansions, business class jets, yachts and just bank accounts with huge amounts of money..

Many companies have the same directors, legal addresses and auditors. Some are directly owned by Rossiya Bank. Dozens are registered with the shareholders of " Another 18 companies, at first glance, have nothing to do with the bank, but, as Meduza and OCCRP found out, they are recorded under its ordinary employees.

In the Leningrad region, on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, there is an elegant brick mansion, known as Sellgren's villa.. It was designed by the famous Finnish architect Uno Ulberg on the eve of the 1917 revolution.. In Soviet times, it was used as a set in the television series about Sherlock Holmes.. The next time the villa became famous in 2017, when in the investigation of the Dozhd TV channel it was called the resting place of the President of Russia..

The villa is owned by the Sever company. In open sources, you can see that she uses a mailing address on the LLCInvest domain. As journalists from Meduza and OCCRP found out, the address on this domain is also registered with Sergey Rudnov himself, the ultimate owner of the villa. And Pavel Zaitsev participated in the management of this property, who does not have any formal status in the " He also has mail on this domain.

The same group of companies, which is part of the LLCInvest circle, owns the Igora ski resort, where Putin's daughter Katerina Tikhonova celebrated her wedding, and many other real estate objects, one way or another related to the President of Russia or his relatives.. The same companies own several luxury yachts.. Two of them were seen on routes between properties associated with Putin; another one belongs to " One of the courts is managed by several companies from the LLCInvest circle at once.

In particular, Brizo 46 - a 14-meter support vessel - was bought in 2015 for 1.2 million euros through Unison. The sole shareholder and former director of this company, Vladimir Avramenko, uses mail on the llcinvest domain. en.

The yacht was imported to Russia by a completely different legal entity, whose leaders are not formally related to Unison. However, according to the leaks, they discussed the fee reduction with a representative of Unison - while using mailboxes on the domain (as you might expect) LLCInvest.

According to customs data, some yachts owned by companies associated with LLCInvest are laid up in the Finnish port of Kotka near St. Petersburg for the winter.. In the same place, Finnish journalists found the yacht " The boat garage itself, where they are stored, is also associated with Putin's friends.. Dmitry Gorelov, one of the shareholders of Rossiya Bank (involved in the construction of the palace on the Black Sea), issued an interest-free loan to the company that owns the garage.

Most organizations from the LLCInvest cooperative do not conduct any public activity. Russair is a rare exception: it even has a website that states that it is a “dynamically developing company in the field of air transportation”. Russair assures that it can organize a charter flight at any time of the day or night, and "

However, when an OCCRP reporter called Russair and posed as a client who wanted to book a charter, the company's manager refused to name the services provided by the company and asked to send a request by e-mail. He remained unanswered. According to the Russian aircraft registry, Russair would not really be able to take anyone anywhere, because the company has only two helicopters intended for commercial air transportation on its balance sheet.. The company has the right to use four more helicopters and two Falcon 7X business liners only for its own needs..

This is how a corrupt state works. What the investigators have revealed is only a small part, a model, of a huge corruption machine.. Ukraine has its own corruption machine, closely connected with the Russian. And you need to find the strength not only to defeat the aggressor, but also to break this machine. This is the key to Europe, to a decent life, not only for those who rob the country and who assist them in this.
