Arkady Rotenberg became a developer

A close friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin, in addition to infrastructure projects, decided to master the management of retail real estate, Forbes magazine found out.

Rotenberg, as the businessman himself said in an interview with the magazine, started a new business - the construction and management of shopping and entertainment centers - together with former partners in the Novorossiysk sea trade port Alexander Ponomarenko (owner of a complex of buildings near Gelendzhik known as “Putin’s palace”) and State Duma deputy Alexander Skorobogatko. For these purposes, entrepreneurs created the company TPS Real Estate Holding Ltd and have already invested $1.5 billion in it.

Alexander Ponomarenko and Alexander Skorobogatko under the roof of “Putin’s palace”

Alexander Ponomarenko and Alexander Skorobogatko started not even in the dashing 1990s, but in the gangster 1980s. Then they were bankers, owners of the largest Russian port. But Ponomarenko’s most mysterious investment is “Putin’s palace” on the Black Sea.

One “friend of the prime minister” Nikolai Shamalov sold “Putin’s palace” to Alexander Ponomarev, a partner of another “friend of the prime minister” Rotenberg

In the fight for Russia's largest port, one Putin acquaintance defeated another

The Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port (NCSP) company is the largest port in Russia in terms of cargo turnover. The lion's share passes through it Russian exports oil and grain. Currently, the port itself, ship repair yards, grain, oil, timber terminals, stevedoring company and port fleet are 50.1% owned by Kadina Ltd. This company, writes the Vedomosti newspaper, belongs to the families of the chairman of the board of directors of NCSP Alexander Ponomarenko and State Duma deputy Alexander Skorobogatko. Of the controlling stake, 16.5% are controlled by Russian Railways. The remaining 20% ​​belongs to the state, 5% belongs to Russian Railways structures. Another 20% of shares are in free float following the company's IPO in November 2007.

However, in the near future, 20% of the Kadina company (that is, control over 10% of the Novorossiysk port) may be sold to the structures of Arkady Rotenberg. This man has been since the 1960s. practiced judo in the same section with Vladimir Putin. He is now the chairman supreme council National Judo Union of Russia and general director of the NP “Yavara-Neva Judo Sports Club” (St. Petersburg), whose honorary president is Vladimir Putin, and whose board of trustees includes Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov. According to a source in the presidential administration, Rotenberg is still one of Putin’s close acquaintances, and they still “meet and communicate in person.”

Distribution of packages. Companies close to the Kremlin are rushing to dismantle assets

Putin met the founder and general director of the Yavara-Neva judo club, Arkady Rotenberg, as a child - they trained together in the same section. Already in the 1990s, when Putin became a major St. Petersburg official, Rotenberg was his coach. And on April 14 of this year, it became known that 10% of the Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port (NCSP) was about to be added to the approximately two dozen companies owned by Rotenberg. More precisely, Rotenberg bought a 20% stake in the offshore Kadina Ltd, the beneficiaries of which are businessmen Alexander Ponomarenko and Alexander Skorobogatko and which owns 50.1% of the shares of NCSP. Based on the current capitalization of the port, Rotenberg had to pay 10.5 billion rubles.

Unfinished “sanatorium” with three helipads for $350 million

Alexander Ponomarenko, who last year, together with partners, including Arkady Rotenberg, received over $2 billion for the Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port (NCSP), acquired a hotel complex near Gelendzhik, known as “Putin’s palace.” Businessman Sergei Kolesnikov, who claimed that the luxury construction was being carried out for the prime minister, insists that the resale of the property will not change its intended purpose.

Mr. Ponomarenko himself told Kommersant about the purchase: his structure acquired two companies - Lazurnaya Yagoda LLC and Idokopas LLC, which own the unfinished hotel complex on Cape Idokopas in the Gelendzhik region of the Krasnodar Territory (see blitz interview). According to him, Idokopas owns about 67 hectares of recreational land in the village of Praskoveevka (see picture): a boarding house consisting of several buildings with a total area of ​​approximately 26 thousand square meters is being built on the site. m. Lazurnaya Yagoda owns approximately 60 more hectares of agricultural land in the area of ​​the village of Divnomorskoye (located 13 km from Praskoveevka), of which approximately 27 hectares are used for vineyards, 33 hectares are undeveloped. In addition, Lazurnaya Yagoda leases recreational land plots with a total area of ​​approximately 160 hectares, on which temporary non-permanent structures are located - a fence, a highway, etc. On the territory of these plots it is planned to build several tourist facilities - a chateau, a winery.

Divorce after divorce

Trend recent years: long-time acquaintances and equal partners actively share joint business. In addition to Vladimir Potanin (No. 6) and Mikhail Prokhorov (No. 7), who are in the process of disengagement, one can recall Andrei Melnichenko (No. 17) and Sergei Popov (No. 22), Igor Zyuzin (No. 25] and Vladimir Iorikh (No. 71). But this already in the past. Who is at risk? Co-owners of the PIK group Yuri Zhukov (No. 28) and Kirill Pisarev (No. 29), shareholders of the Novorossiysk commercial sea port Alexander Ponomarenko (No. 75) and Alexander Skorobogatko (No. 76), owners of the Don- build" Maxim Blazhko (No. 96] and Dmitry Zelenov (No. 97).

Bankers from the highway

The Rossiya weekly publishes its version of the reasons for the merger of two commercial banks: the Investment and Savings Bank and the Russian General Bank. A new “Investsberbank” will be created on the ruins of two banks.

This deal seems surprising only at first glance. If you delve a little into the history of the two credit institutions, it becomes clear that changing the signs is necessary for the people behind the banks in order to once again leave with money. Moreover, last year there was already a report in the press that Investsberbank was acquired by the shareholders of the RSL. Thus, the RSL made a “spare” airfield for itself.

For the founders of the Russian General Bank, Alexander Skorobogatko and Alexander Ponomarenko, this is not the first business project. Skorobogatko has now gone under the banner of the LDPR party, Ponomarenko is the chairman of the board of directors of the RSL. Just a few years ago, both headed the notorious Yalosbank, a bank that left behind hundreds of millions of debts and several criminal cases.

Getting information about Ponomarenko and Skorobogatko is not easy, but very simple. It is enough to open the book by Konstantin Chernetsov “Gangster Crimea”. Much has been written in this book about the bankers who hailed from Crimea and who at the beginning of perestroika bore the nicknames Champion and Sexton. For example, about how they were “top” in the group of thimble-makers. Both had to pretend to be outside players, and if anything happened, they had to fight off the thimble twirler from the angry public.

Only the most high-profile cases of Yalosbank reached law enforcement agencies. In total, more than 2 trillion rubles were stolen from Yalosbank in 1994–1995. Refusals to return borrowed money were almost par for the course. Among those deceived are Campomos, Udmurtneft, Izh-Ladabank. When the Central Bank revoked Yalosbank's license in 1997, it was left with hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, and its assets were transferred abroad. But there was no one to ask the creditors. Babek Seruf died with a diagnosis of poisoning, Roman Frumson was killed in Spain, and Alexander Goltsev was shot in his native Moscow. IN law enforcement agencies We were sure that these murders were the responsibility of our two heroes. However, this time there was not enough evidence.

Putin's judo coach will receive a billion for lobbying the Novorossiysk port

The controlling shareholders of Russia's largest Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port (NCSP), Alexander Ponomarenko, Alexander Skorobogatko and Arkady Rotenberg, are selling 50.1% of its shares to Transneft and Summa Capital. They will own NCSP on a parity basis. Transneft wanted to regain the NCSP oil terminal, but analysts do not understand why a stevedoring company needs a pipeline monopoly. But the ex-owners of the port can earn about $1.8 billion from the deal.

Who bought “Putin’s dacha” and why?

The facility under construction near Gelendzhik, dubbed “Putin’s Palace” in the media, was sold for $350 million. Probably, the previous owners decided in this way to cut off the trail of scandals that trails behind this object.

Hasty purchase

But it seems that the new owner of the palace is a representative of the same “narrow circle”. The buyer of the Gelendzhik estate is non-public businessman Alexander Ponomarenko, who until last year, together with businessman and “Putin’s friend” Arkady Rotenberg, was a co-owner of Novorossiysk seaport. Last year they sold the port quite successfully. The estimated revenue from the deal was about $2.5 billion. Alexander Ponomarenko used part of this money to buy the Gelendzhik palace.

Last week, Ponomarenko gave an interview to Kommersant, in which he actually admitted that the deal to purchase the palace was carried out at an accelerated pace: the businessman said that he purchased the Gelendzhik estate “at some discount” and had not yet decided on the purpose of the scandalous object. The latter is especially strange: an entrepreneur makes a purchase worth hundreds of millions of dollars and does not think about the economic benefits?

Skorobogatko – “werewolf” with the badge of a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation

Then Skorobogatko and Ponomarenko appear in Moscow. The first is as a member of the Board of Directors of Yalosbank, the second is appointed deputy chairman of the board. Thus, real owners come to the bank...

Yalosbank has a long trail of large, dubious transactions. Yalosbank was suspected of embezzling 5 billion rubles from the federal contract corporation Roskhleboproduct. The Moscow Main Internal Affairs Directorate then opened a criminal case on the fact of theft. Then Yalosbank refused to repay its bills in the amount of 1.6 billion rubles to the state sanatorium named after. Sergo Ordzhonikidze in the Krasnodar region. Then the bank did not return the money to the Campomos plant, Udmurtneft, and Izh-Ladabank. In 1994-1995, Yalosbank facilitated a number of operations to embezzle budget funds amounting to over 2 trillion. undenominated rubles. The Internal Affairs Directorate of the Central Administrative District of Moscow opened a criminal case N101056 under Part 3 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on the fact of fraudulent actions and non-receipt of 23 billion rubles into the budget of the capital. In 1997, Yalosbank’s license was revoked and bankruptcy management was introduced into the institution. Yalosbank, which had been dying for 4 years, left hundreds of millions of dollars in debt to depositors, the budget and creditors.

At the same time, businessmen have long and well known that if large funds have left one problem bank, then sooner or later they should surface elsewhere...

At that moment in the history of Yalosbank, when the time has come to answer to the law, deceived depositors and clients for what they have done, a series of unforeseen events occurs. The founding fathers of a financial institution do not die by natural causes. B. Seruf died of poisoning, A. Goltsev was shot in Moscow by unknown assailants. R. Frumson was found dead in a villa in Spain with signs of violent death. As they say, there is no judgment. True, one can say differently, the ends were dipped into the water. And on the surface, as always, are Skorobogatko and Ponomarenko.

Meanwhile, the surviving assets and funds that mysteriously disappeared from Yalosbank, of course, do not evaporate. They should be looked for in the Russian General Bank (RGB), where, as if on command, almost the entire top management of Yalosbank is transferred. The founders of the RSL are Skorobogatko and Ponomarenko...

Excerpt characterizing Ponomarenko, Alexander Anatolyevich

An hour after this, Dunyasha came to the princess with the news that Dron had arrived and all the men, by order of the princess, gathered at the barn, wanting to talk with the mistress.
“Yes, I never called them,” said Princess Marya, “I only told Dronushka to give them bread.”
“Only for God’s sake, Princess Mother, order them away and don’t go to them.” It’s all just a lie,” Dunyasha said, “and Yakov Alpatych will come and we’ll go... and if you please...
- What kind of deception? – the princess asked in surprise
- Yes, I know, just listen to me, for God’s sake. Just ask the nanny. They say they do not agree to leave on your orders.
- You're saying something wrong. Yes, I never ordered to leave... - said Princess Marya. - Call Dronushka.
The arriving Dron confirmed Dunyasha’s words: the men came on the orders of the princess.
“Yes, I never called them,” said the princess. “You probably didn’t convey it to them correctly.” I just told you to give them the bread.
The drone sighed without answering.
“If you order, they will leave,” he said.
“No, no, I’ll go to them,” said Princess Marya
Despite the dissuading of Dunyasha and the nanny, Princess Marya went out onto the porch. Dron, Dunyasha, the nanny and Mikhail Ivanovich followed her. “They probably think that I am offering them bread so that they will remain in their places, and I will leave myself, abandoning them to the mercy of the French,” thought Princess Marya. – I will promise them a month in an apartment near Moscow; I’m sure Andre would have done even more in my place,” she thought, approaching the crowd standing in the pasture near the barn in the twilight.
The crowd, crowded, began to stir, and their hats quickly came off. Princess Marya, with her eyes downcast and her feet tangling in her dress, came close to them. So many different old and young eyes were fixed on her and there were so many different faces that Princess Marya did not see a single face and, feeling the need to suddenly talk to everyone, did not know what to do. But again the consciousness that she was the representative of her father and brother gave her strength, and she boldly began her speech.
“I’m very glad that you came,” Princess Marya began, without raising her eyes and feeling how quickly and strongly her heart was beating. “Dronushka told me that you were ruined by the war.” This is our common grief, and I will not spare anything to help you. I’m going myself, because it’s already dangerous here and the enemy is close... because... I give you everything, my friends, and I ask you to take everything, all our bread, so that you don’t have any need. And if they told you that I am giving you bread so that you can stay here, then this is not true. On the contrary, I ask you to leave with all your property to our Moscow region, and there I take it upon myself and promise you that you will not be in need. They will give you houses and bread. - The princess stopped. Only sighs were heard in the crowd.
