Shadow Putin

Four "denominations" from the environment of the President: What is known about their assets, general projects with Putin oligarchs and how it faces inclusion in the sanction list

Next to President Putin for many years the authorities had a whole range of mysterious people. These little-known persons own shares of large banks and meaningful media activists, land and residences in environmental zones, sell oil and receive preferential loans from the largest oligarchs. On the day of the adoption of American sanctions, NT gathered all that Putin's "shadows" is known. And discovered new, previously unknown details. As well as the main proof of their proximity to Putin: participation in joint projects with the richest friends of the President - Brothers Kovalchuki, Rotenberg Brothers and Gennady Timchenko.

Chateau for sons: as a partner Timchenko became a winegreen

A new company appeared in Gelendzhik - "Divnomore", the owner of which is the partner of Gennady Timchenko Vladimir Colbin. The project is associated with the winery "Manor Divnomorskoe" family of the founder "Abrau-Durso" Boris Titova

In the middle of August, a new company appeared in Gelendzhik Krasnodar Territory - JSC "Divnomorery", - the main activity of which cultivation of grapes follows from the data of Spark Interfax. Her only owner is Vladimir Petrovich Kolbin.

The media learned about the connection of the younger partner Timchenko with Putin

The former co-owner of the oil referring Gunvor Peter Colbin, which occupies the 149th place in the ranking of the richest businessmen of Russia according to Forbes magazine (State Assessment 2016 - $ 0.55 billion), in childhood, was well acquainted with the future president of Russia Vladimir Putin, follows from the investigation of the TV channel "Rain". According to the TV channel, the father of the future president rented a cottage in the village of Names of the Leningrad region and was friends with his father, who lived in this settlement, and their children often saw.

"Rain" claims that in 2000, the Father Colley received a personal letter from the recently elected President Putin, and his son came in great business and for several years made a significant condition.

The newspaper Vedomosti wrote that until 2012, Kolbin belonged to 49% in SurgutyEx, in which the Russian billionaire Gennady Timchenko owned the remaining 51% (fifth place in the Russian rating of Forbes, the state estimate is $ 11.4 billion). In addition, according to Vedomosti, Colbred until 2010 owned a 10 percentage fractions in the Swiss oil ledder Gunvor, but then out of the company's shareholders, and his share was transferred to a special trust fund. Gennady Timchenko until 2014 was one of the main shareholders of Gunvor with a share of 43.5%. After falling under US sanctions, Timchenko sold his package to his business partner - Sweded Torbiorn Tinckwist, whose share in Gunvor increased to 87% as a result of the transaction. Vladimir Putin in May 2014 called Russians who fell under Western sanctions with his friends.

Gennady Timchenko refused to answer the questions of "rain" about Colbyline. Press Secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov told the TV channel that he did not meet the surname of the colley among the familiar Vladimir Putin.

Peter Colbred was entered into the sanction list of the US Department of Finance in July 2015. The basis for this was the information about the "provision of material support" Gennady Timchenko, submitted to the sanction list in March 2014. On the blacklist, as associated with Kolbin, Cypriot IPP Oil Products (Cyprus) Limited and Southport Management Services Limited (British Virgin Islands) were added. According to the American sanctions service of OFAC, these companies "own or are controlled or acted / intended to act in the interests" column.

Investigation: Multimillioner Peter Colbred turned out to be a friend of Putin

The businessman Peter Colbred, the former co-depositor of the Gunvor oil player and the owner of the state in half a billion dollars, according to Forbes magazine, turned out to be another childhood of Vladimir Putin. Such a conclusion is contained in the investigation of the Rain TV channel.

For five years, until 2010, he owned at least a 10 percentage fractions in the GUNVOR global oil resource. The company's turnover in 2010 reached $ 70 billion.

As the "Rain" TV channel found out, Peter Colbin's fathers and Vladimir Putin were closely friends. They met in 1954 in the village of Names Leningrad Region, where Colbin-senior was the director of the school, and Putin's family removed the summer to summer. Moldoval, Vladimir Putin and Peter Colbred often saw each other, went to village discos together. In 2000, Colbin-senior received a personal letter from the elected President Putin. Then Colbin Jr. came to a big business and for several years made a significant state, writes "rain".

The former shareholder Gunvor Gennady Timchenko, who is considered a close friend of Putin, refused to answer questions about Peter Kolbin. Colbred itself was not available for comments.

The former shareholder of Gunvor turned out to be another childhood of Vladimir Putin

Businessman Peter Colbred, the former co-depositor of the Gunvor oil player and the owner of the state of $ 550 million (according to Forbes magazine), turned out to be another childhood of Vladimir Putin, follows from the root investigation.

The turnover of the company in 2010 reached $ 70 billion. According to the US Department of Finance, the president of Putin himself could alone in Gunvor.

Colbin also owned the Surgutex referee, which was sold abroad, Surgutneftegaz company and petroleum products abroad. In addition, the businessman controlled some large suppliers of Gazprom. Finally, in 2010, Colbin made a successful deal, buying shares of Yamal LNG for $ 90 million and after a year and a half, the deal was approved by the Government Commission headed by Putin, who then held the post of Prime Minister.

As the rain found out, Petra Colley's fathers and Vladimir Putin were friends closely. They met in 1954 in the village of Names Leningrad Region, where Colbin-senior was the director of the school, and Putin's family removed the summer to summer. Moldoval, Vladimir Putin and Peter Colbred often saw each other, went to village discos and even fought with local hooligans.

In 2000, Colbin Sr. received a personal letter from the recently elected President Putin (a copy is at the disposal of the rain). At the same time, Colbin Jr. came to a big business and made a significant state for several years.

Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said rain that he did not meet the name of the column among the familiar heads of state. Former shareholder Gunvor Gennady Timchenko refused to answer questions about Peter Kolbin. The businessman himself was unavailable for comments.

US expanded sanctions against Russia

The US Department of Finance has expanded the sanction list towards a number of companies and individuals. In the American embassy, \u200b\u200bthey explained this step with the need to stop cases of caring from existing sanctions

The third shareholder of Gunvor was "not a decision" Peter Colbin

Gunvor has a third shareholder - for the first time Torbjorn Torkunvist Reuters in October 2007: "This is a private businessman, in no way connected with politics." According to Tinkvist, this businessman has received a minority share in 2005 (about 10% GUNVOR), and for this provided the company financial support. In 2008, Timchenko reported in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that Minoritarian is a businessman from St. Petersburg.

After the wedding heals ...

Witness at Putin's wedding, St. Petersburg lawyer Viktor Khmararin controlled 16 suppliers of Gazprom

The list of friends Vladimir Putin and their partners in the field of deliveries for Gazprom does not exhaust. Yamalinvest is 25% from St. Petersburg "Mature Sport" - the winner of the Gazprom contests 2006-2007. The general director of the St. Petersburg company until 2003 was the partner of Khmarina - Kupriyanov. And Peter Kolbin was subsequently the only founder of the "Machisport" - co-depositor of the Surgutex oil referring. As they believed in the market ("Vedomosti" reported), Surgutex controls each Putin's friend Gennady Timchenko - co-owner of the group Gunvor (see "New Newspaper", No. 113 for 2009).

The case "Yamalinvest": the understatement of the taxable base, the company - "one-day" and "black" accounting

The list of friends of Vladimir Putin and their partners in the field of the supply of Gazprom's Day is not exhausted. Yamalinvest is 25% by St. Petersburg "Mature Sport" - the winner of Gazprom competitions 2006-2007. The general director of the St. Petersburg company until 2003 was the partner of Khmarina - Kupriyanov. And Peter Kolbin was subsequently the only founder of the "Machisport" - co-depositor of the Surgutex oil referring. As they believed in the market ("Vedomosti" reported), Surgutex controls each Putin's friend Gennady Timchenko - co-owner of the group Gunvor (see "New Newspaper", No. 113 for 2009).

"MOTORSPORT" Peter Colbin took a very convenient niche. In Gazprom, we were informed that since 2008 he does not participate in their contests. But in the first quarter of 2008 Gazprom, Centrenergogaz called "MOTEXPORT" by one of the main suppliers. The St. Petersburg company also controls suppliers of Gazprom - Trading House of the VMZ "(70% since 2009) and" Gazenergoservis Trading House "(50%). In 2008, the revenue of these two structures minus VAT exceeded 1 billion 600 million rubles.

"Trading House of the VMZ" only by 30% belongs to the official supplier of oil and gas equipment to the State "Voronezh Mechanical Plant". And the "Trading House of Gazenergoservis" was created by enterprises that are included in the structure of Gazprom Centerremont - a holding repair company on the basis of "Daughters" Gazprom "Centrenergogaz". The Holding Problem is maintenance and repair of all gas giant objects. Son of the first senior director of Centrenergogaz, Sergey Pankina-Pankin, Sergey Sergeevich heads the trading house.

In the repair holding "Gazprom" at least seven manufacturers plants. It is not clear why their trading house needed 50% of the participation of "Machisport" and why in early 2008 this St. Petersburg company was one of the main suppliers of Centrenergogaz. The management of Centrenergogaz and Palkin Jr did not clarify this question. Does this mean that Gazprom across "MOTEXSPORT" Compare spare parts and equipment itself? Peter Colbred did not respond to the request of the "New".

100 million for Timchenko

Until the end of March, NOVATEK should declare a short list of foreign companies with which negotiations will be held on selling 23.9% of the shares of Yamal LNG, which are in the hands of the structures of Mr. Timchenko. NOVATEK has an option for the purchase of this package for $ 450 million for resale to the strategic investor. The preliminary list will certainly be shell (she even made a preliminary research on the project) and Total (NOVATEK partner on a thermocontal deposit), negotiations with the world's largest oil and gas company Exxonmobil also conducted.

Yamal LNG owns a license for the South Tamba deposit with reserves by category C1 + C2 in the amount of 1.26 trillion cubic meters of gas and 51.6 million tons of condensate. According to the international audit made by the company DEGOLYER & MACNAGHTON on January 1, 2010, the reserves are modest: according to the classification of SEC - 380 billion cubic meters and 14 million tons of condensate, according to PRMS - 927 billion cubic meters and 37 million tons of condensate. In December 2009, Rosnedra without excessive noise extended a license from 2020 until 2045. The controlling package now belongs to NOVATEK, 23.9% - in the structures of Gennady Timchenko, and the blocking (25.1%) of Gazprombank intends to buy a junior partner Mr. Timchenko Peter Colbin. This transaction was considered by the Commission on Foreign Investment under the leadership of the Russian Prime Minister, since the buyer's interests were represented by offshore companies, and was approved.

200 richest businessmen of Russia

"American Dream" always turns into reality only due to stubborn work. There are no other options. Hundreds of examples from the biographies of people who passed the path from the usual cleaner of the shoes to the billionaire only confirm the truth of this axiom. Financial success is on the shoulder of the so-called Self-Made Person ─ free personalities that "blinded" themselves.

The modern "Russian Dream", in fact, is not much different from American. High-paying work, and with it wealth is significantly higher than the average, reputation and the transition to a higher step in the social staircase ─ its components. Only the way to achieve the result in Russia may be unexpectedly simple. It is not always the main condition to be hardworking or hidden talent, and a place and time of birth or incomprehensible infancy of fate.

In the 80s, there lived and worked in Leningrad the usual butcher from the ordinary grocery house Peter Colbin. After 20 years he became a ruble billionaire. What is not an example of the execution of "Russian" or "American" dreams? Colbin himself does not like to share the secret of success, trying to be inconspicuous, in no case giving an interview to journalists and not falling into the lenses of the photo or film cameras. He does not consider himself a businessman at all, but the facts are stubborn. The personal state of the modest St. Petersburg exceeds $ 500 million, and in the All-Russian ranking of the most wealthy people according to the Forbes version, it occupies an honorable 179 place.

Colbred does not live in Barvikhe and the more not in the Spanish coast of the Mediterranean Sea, but in the border provincial Ivangorod. Welfare provided him with shares of several oil and gas companies that he successfully sold at the right moment. Buy, and then get rid of them with the benefit for ourselves, for this, too, you need a talent, called in other words commercial flaws. Only so far remains a mystery to the appearance of initial capital from the former butcher.

Peter Colbin was born in the family of Frontovik, who worked as a school director in the village of Names not far from Kingisepp. "Russian Dream" began to bother exactly in that place in 1954. For the summer, removing a small house, the family of Master of the Leningrad Carriage Plant Vladimir Spiridonovich Putin left to the village. Two front-line results very quickly found a common language. The same can be said about their children ─ Pet and voyage. Family literally from the cradle, they once again met in Names.

Having matured, adolescents went together for dancing in the rural club, maybe Sambist Vova defended the weaker path of hooligans. In the early 60s, a pause will come in the friendship of adolescents. Father Peter will be transferred to another job. He will be appointed by the director of the school in East Germany near Brandenburg. He will teach the children of military personnel of the Soviet troops in Germany. In Brandenburg, another component of the execution of the Russian Dreams will be formed. The School studied the Timchenko gene - the son of the army officer. Peter and gene peers quickly became friends. In 1965, Gennady with her parents moved to another place of service of the Father, and Peter came back to his homeland for 2 years.

In 1971, his father divorced with her mother and would leave for a line on Kulichki ─ to the distant corner of the Arkhangelsk region, where he would continue to work as well as director of the rural school. Family cataclysms will force Peter Colley to stay next to her mother in Leningrad. There will begin the longest phase in the execution of the "Russian Dream", stretching more than a quarter of a century. In 2000, the newly elected President of the Russian Federation will send a clear very warm Arkhangelsk village in the distant Arkhangelsk village, which will remind him of a sophisticated friendship about friendship with his father and remember the bright years of childhood. In the same year, the path to the unpredictable sea of \u200b\u200ba big business of a unlucky butcher Peter Colbin will begin. His surname will appear in the Unified State Policycle.

Gunvor.

Since 2005, Peter Colbred has been part of the shareholders of the Gunvor oil trader registered in Cyprus. He has 12% of the shares. The rest of the robusts were distributed between the childhood friend Gennady Timchenko and the Norwegian entrepreneur Turnbier Turnkvist. Gunvor, created in 1997, was very wide. She had representative offices around the world ─ in Geneva, Nassau, Singapore and Dubai. More large geography of company offices ─ Bogota, Buenos Aires, Abuja, Beijing, Mumbai, Alma-Ata and, of course, Moscow.

It is characteristic that its active trading activity began in the same specialist 2000. Up to the possession of the Package of the Neette Player, Kolbin has already ever got acquainted with the business in the hydrocarbon raw material trade. In 2004, he entered the administrative council of the Geneva representation of the Finnish-Swedish company International Petroleum Products. The answer to the question of how the descendants of the Vikings entered the company, there may be only one. In 1999, Gennady Timchenko from good intentions to develop his own business in the Scandinavian states received Finnish citizenship. Apparently, he and "crushed" a friend of childhood into the oil company. What functions performed the former butcher in the Council, the Finns and Swedes may explain, but they are still silent. With Gunvor Peter Kolbin was until 2010, after which she lost his share by the trust belonging to the company's top management.

Yamal Invest.

He did not come out of the business, although the money has already earned quite enough. He just switched to the Russian oil and gas market. Colbred immediately in 2010 acquired from Gazprombank to the company Yamal Invest, which deliveries the equipment to Gazprom. The stake in the shares was very large ─ 25% and cost no shelter. According to a different estimated from $ 75 to 90 million.

"Yamal Invest" was an ordinary mediator earning the resale of equipment from its manufacturers to a Russian gas monopolist. Why did he need to "Gazprom" and why it was impossible to buy products directly? On this question, as in many of the life of Peter Colley, there is no answer. After a year and a half, Peter Colbred sells Shares "Yamal Investa", significantly increasing his own state. The price of the transaction amounted to $ 526 million. Just super jet! "Russian Dream" embodied in reality. Footprints of a successful shareholder Colley are still found in Surgutax. There he has 49% of the shares, and the rest of the childhood of Gennady Timchenko.

Luxury real estate in Moscow

On bags with money Peter Colbred did not sit. He put them in the metropolitan elite real estate. They purchased 2 apartments in the house at Arbat House 18. Seven-storey house overlooking the old Arbat, with individual planning and 24-hour security, in Moscow itself. The cost of one square meter in it reached $ 35 thousand, and the total housing area amounted to 600 square meters. Peter Colbred did not move from Ivangorod to Moscow. Apartments for some time simply empty.

Real estate in the turbulent time is the most profitable investment, but absolutely unexpectedly the owner changed his mind and decided to get rid of Moscow residential sites. The buyer of both apartments has become pretty elderly, no more noticeable woman Anna Yakovlevna Zatzapilina. At the same time, she bought a luxury apartment in St. Petersburg from Gennady Timchenko. Similar synchronization of selling real estate among former oil business partners caused a surge of interest in the Personality of the buyer. For a long time to wait for the results of the investigation. The grandmother had a very famous granddaughter ─ member of the Supreme Council of the United Russia party, the Olympic champion and simply beautiful Alina Maratovna Kabaeva. The same aspirations of the business parters are simply striking. In the spring of 2012, they simultaneously sold their shares in Surgutacks Troika Top managers of the Bank "Russia".

Panaman offshore

In strangely, Gennady Timchenko long before the accession of the Crimea to Russia began to optimize his business, as if predicting a possible way out into sanctions lists. From Gunvor, he will get rid of literally to the beginning of Western economic repression. Peter Colbin always always followed his more sophisticated business friend. Unlike a rather public businessman, a few more oddities are observed behind Kolbin. In addition to the long-time episode with the Geneva work, he has not crossed the borders of Russia for a long time, not only with business trips, but also with tourist purposes. In his pocket, Colley constantly lies a mobile phone through which he receives urgent instructions from mysterious people. Behavior most reminds not a wealthy businessman, but agent special services. However, the column has a hobby that does not inherent in butchers. He is fond of shooting and repeatedly participated in competitions, quite well on them speaking. Where do such skills come from?

In Russia, Peter Colley did not have so long ago a twin was discovered. They became a pretty ordinary cellist Sergey Roldugin. An ax for cutting meat and a wooden deck, of course, no cello and bow, but also the butcher and the musician were lucky to cross in childhood with the "power of this world." The documents that came to the surface from Panama Offshore were making the world Millions of Rootigin. Running in Forbes lists and studied news from the business sphere in a couple of dozen years, journalists revealed a modest millionaire column. Both holders of assets and millions of states fulfill the role of the "black ticket office". Rather, the cash register on the "black" day.

Petr Kolbin, Putin's "Wallet" of Timchenko, was appointed the third owner of Gunvor (Clikuha, №49,56.68 on, Putin's business partner in the St. Petersburg City Hall).

In 2010, Colbin came out of the Gunvor owners, and his share was transferred to a special trust fund.

Colbin was a co-owner and other Gangrene companies: he owned 49% of SurgutEx oil referring and 25.1% Yamal LNG - the owner of a license for a giant gas South Tambian field (it is developing "NOVATEK").

According to people who know the column and his partners, he is more likely close to the gangrene, who is trusted to participate in transactions and keep shares in companies when necessary.

Quote:

In 2009, the FAS (Federal Antimonopoly Service) approved the purchase of 25.1% of Yamal LNG in Gazprombank for $ 78.4 million (for comparison: in 2009, Novatek signed an optional agreement for the purchase. 23.9% of the shares of Yamal LNG in the structures of Gangrene for $ 450 million for three years). And in March 2011, Novatek concluded an optional agreement for the purchase of 25.1% "Yamal LNG" at Colley for $ 526 million in September 2011, Novatek executed an option.

Colbin confirmed that he is familiar with Gangrena since childhood. The 60-year-old Colbred is from the Orenburg region, was born in the family of military personnel. Father Colley, when it was for six years, transferred to serve in the GDR. And there Kolbin met and became friends with the peer, too, the son of military personnel by Ganger.

Then for a long time their path was separated: in 1970-1980. Colbin worked as a butcher - chopped meat in the store, told his familiar. Since then, one of the advantages of the column is considered the ability to choose a good meat.

A man close to Gunvor calls the column closed, says that he loves big cars, knives, daggers and other weapons, and does not go to hunt. Colbin is a professional shooter, it was stated in the materials of the competition for practical shooting from the pistol of the St. Petersburg Baltic Rifle Club.

In recent years, Colbin, according to his acquaintance, almost does not part with a mobile phone, since he constantly needs to be in touch - he can always call "senior comrades." The same "senior comrades" continues to be familiar, sometimes they can recommend not to cross the border. According to him, Kolbin is always very modest and it seems that he puts signatures under documents, but does not accept key solutions.

Among the familiar column, a person close to Gunvor calls Putin's classmate Viktor Khmarina. Since 2004, Colbin controlled the St. Petersburg company "MOTORSPORT" (liquidated in 2011) - it supplied materials and equipment for Gazprom.
Deliveries in 2003-2005 amounted to 2.71 billion rubles. (according to the company itself).

Gangrena is often called "Putin's friend." In fact, he is not a friend of Putin, but Putin's "wallet", and even a thicker and important wallet than Roman Abramovich.
Currently, Putin produces revision, repair and partial replacement of wallets. Including the role of gangrene, who, firstly, was too lit up in the West, and secondly, Igor Sechin confidence.

Quote:

we rule the butchers and double agents

Well, the Korean Mikhal Ivanich pops up slowly, soon it will come to him, we will find out a lot of interesting things.

The absolute some kind of swamp of some kind of childhood friends adding billionaire lists, and in fact, simple accomplices, flossing the missed.

Rain TV channel published an investigation according to which the former co-owner of the Gunvor oil player, Petersburg businessman Peter Colbred earned a multi-million state in many ways thanks to a personal acquaintance with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Colbin is considered in St. Petersburg one of the most mysterious entrepreneurs in the Klan of Friends of Vladimir Putin. Forbes estimates its condition in half a billion dollars. Colbin is not like a businessman - leads a modest lifestyle and does not contact journalists. With Putin, as stated, friendly from childhood, but the fellow students of President Leonid Poles, with whom Putin is close enough, said Radio Liberty that never heard such a name.

For the first time, the name Colley emerged in 2009, when a journalist "New Newspaper", editor of the Center for the Study of Corruption and Organization OCCRP Roman Schleinov He conducted an investigation, trying to find out who, except, is a co-owner of the GUNVOR oil player:

It turned out that he is not an entrepreneur

- In 2009, when I was engaged in the new newspaper with the study of the business of Gennady Timchenko, a good friend of the Russian president, I drew attention to the fact that he has an interesting partner Peter Colbred, who did not impress a big businessman. At the same time, he owned a share in Surgutaxi, a company that supplied significant volumes of oil and petroleum products abroad. It was interested in me, and I began to watch with whom he is still intersect. I got the impression that he was a co-owner of Gunvor. And, indeed, in 2012, when I worked in the newspaper "Vedomosti", Colbin confirmed this. From his acquaintances, we also learned that he is a longtime friend Gennady Timchenko. People from Gunvor explained that they are well acquainted, Gennady Timchenko knows him since childhood, since the GDR, where the parents of both businessmen worked. Timchenko even allocated a 10% stake in the trader. But when we began to study the personality of the column, it turned out that he was not an entrepreneur.

Must be on the phone, get instructions from "senior comrades"

He himself said to me that he was not a major businessman, that, they say, I was misled. He really does not impress the owner of millions of dollars. He leads a sufficiently modest lifestyle and, according to his people who know, should be constantly on the phone to receive instructions from the "senior comrades", which, by the way, could tell him that he should not cross the border on some days. All these descriptions assigned to the idea that if Colbred is not the owner of these million dollars, although it is the owner of 10% of Gunvor, the owner of Surgutax and, as is known, the owner of another excellent gas field, the question arises: and who is behind him? And from this point of view, the investigation of "rain" is interested in the fact that journalists have found a connection between Colbin and Putin. As it turns out, Colbin is not just an old familiar Timchenko, but may also be an old familiar president. And it already suggests that whose money could pass through the column. As in the case of a musician, a person was not a major businessman, but billions of dollars were held through his company. And suddenly it turns out that he is the closest familiar Putin. And questions arise: whether this money was not intended, these shares of the Russian president, who should not leave their signature under financial documents, on ownership documents.

Still, a former KGB officer, a slightly man

​- So the column can be compared with Roldugin?

- By function - yes. These can be asset holders. Someone needs to contribute to documents as owners, someone needs to list money. And according to the logic of things - we are now theoretically reflecting, - and who can be put in such a person? Swiss lawyer to take on this function is impossible. There are special people - Swiss lawyers, Cyprus managers, - but they are abroad. And at any moment, representatives of law enforcement agencies can come to any moment, they will ask questions, and sooner or later those will tell. And here - his own man who is located in Russia, who will never give you out, because he is your personal friend from a long time. Maybe these are the very mediators, holders of Vladimir Putin's property. But there will never be direct evidence to this. You understand, "no one has holding a candle." No one can say with certainty: "This is a wealth of Putin," because it does not leave traces on the papers, in bank postings. Still, a former employee of the KGB, a slightly man, and he sign such documents is not reasonable. For this there must be special people.

Any asset can be expropriated by certain people.

​- You did not try, conducting your investigations, determine the approximate volume of the "black box office of the Kremlin" or even to imagine how much money there is impossible?

- It is impossible. After all, when it comes to such intermediaries, they can be not alone, and not two, and not three ... And if we are talking about nominal figures that own something, how can we say definitely, what is their cashier? It is like a certain royal house. It seems to be a king and everything around belongs to him. Informally. He is "Father of the People". And how can I calculate what belongs to him? If any businessman knows that the next moment, any asset can be expropriated by certain people. Moreover, not necessarily close to the "first person." We know how decisions are made on large assets. I wanted a state company to delay yourself a piece from some large enterprise, it happens during days. Criminal cases are initiated. And the asset will be nationalized. Whose after that? Sooner or later, "beautiful" people who are somehow connected with the authorities are formed around it. This happens not the first day. We see how Entrepreneurs dozens of years led their business, developed it from scratch, and suddenly they are in the sphere of attention of the prosecutor's office, and their prospects are incomprehensible.

Man does not leave signatures on documents

It is not necessary to walk far. I do not understand what happened and happening in Domodedovo, to which the interest from all sides are being taken. And it is surprising that Mr. Brickshchik owns "Domodedovo" so far, fights off this "group of comrades." It is very interesting to look at what happens with the assets to which people close to Putin are being taken. Make conclusions. To summarize all this and say that it is precisely him, and this is not it, it is impossible. And from this point of view, the press secretary of Putin is absolutely right, when she declares that there is no documents confirming the charges anywhere. And Mr. Kostin, the head of VTB, acts and says that Putin has no state, Putin has no billions, you will never find them. Of course, no one will never find them, because, I repeat, a person does not leave signatures on the documents.

They consider attacks on the criticism of the whole country

​- During investigations, have you faced the fact that the money of the "Black Cassa of the Kremlin" is used for political purposes?

- I do not know what goals are primitive. Political or personal enrichment. In the understanding of the majority of these people, as we see by numerous examples, personal is very quickly identified with all of Russia. They consider attacks on themselves, criticism - criticism of the whole country. This is a very interesting way of thinking. They do not have a personal separated from political. They believe that their personal interests - and there are those interests that the country should be guided. "We are Nicholas II, and our will and our interests are the interests of the whole state!" And if someone opposes our personal interests, he is the enemy of Russia. This is how many people are reflected from Putin's environment.

What other assets owns her family

​"Rain" said that Timchenko and Kolbin sold three apartments in the elite districts of Moscow and St. Petersburg with the full namesake of the grandmother of the Alina Kabaye, Anna Zatzainnina. You do not find in this fact a confirmation of a special relationship between Kabaeva and Putin?

- I do not know. I investigated Putin's connection with Timchenko, and then interesting details appeared, as property flows from one hand to others. About Putin and Kabaeva wrote a lot of interesting things. Journalists analyzed in detail the situation, and even there was a very sharp response of Putin, after which the Moscow newspaper was closed, which was the first to report that there is something in common between him and Kabaeva. And in this sense, the migration of property from Putin's close circle is even more close - interesting. And how else to trace the traces of communication - only by property. I wonder what other assets own her family?

And I was friends with Putin for many years with Putin for many years: every summer of the family together with children - a little Volodya and Petei - rested together. Who he is mysterious from his president's childhood, look in the rain report.

In December 2000, the pensioner Victor Colbred received a letter. Vladimir Putin, only half a year ago, who joined the position of president of Russia, thanked the provincial pensioner for the memory of his parents: "Dear Viktor Ivanovich! I was glad to get a news from you. Thanks for the warm words, for good memory. I am especially pleased that you remember the approaching anniversary of my father. "

Local newspaper with photos of just selected President Vladimir Putin, Pensioner Victor Colley and photocopy of the president's message to a friend of his father

When the letter was published in the local newspaper (see photo), The history of dating the President with Viktor Kolbin went beyond the narrow circle of his neighbors according to clear. From Arkhangelsk to the village 250 kilometers, it is almost 6 hours by car by off-road. Officially, 1,500 people live in clear, in fact - twice as smaller. Here, even after 16 years, it is well remembered by Putin's letter to a pensioner. But only now it turned out - a long-term friendship was preceded by this letter.

Tatiana Surina, Viktor's girlfriend Colbin: "I remember that day when there were elections, and he called me:" Tanya, you know who we will be president? ". I say: "I already know." "So this is Vovka Putin, whom I kneel keen, which I taught German!". "

Tatyana Surin willingly recalls the neighbor and, it seems, still does not know - the modest pensioner, whoa in the distant settlement was the father of one of the most influential people of the country. In the spring of 2011 in rating of the richest Russians Forbes magazine first appeared the name of Peter Colley. Private investor started with 187 lines with a state of half a billion dollars. Neither a photo nor biography.

In 2016, Colbin has already in 149. But it is known about the businessman is still a bit. To confirm the version of the relationship of the Arkhangelsk pensioner with the Forbes rating hero, we will need to overcome more than a hundred kilometers.

Valentina Egorova, the neighbor Victor Colley, remembers - it all started in 1954. The young director of National Rural School Victor Colbin meets the family of Putin, they remove the room in the House of Colban aunt. Chapters of families - both front-line, both were injured near Leningrad. Vladimir Spiridonovich Putin And Viktor Ivanovich Kolbin quickly found a common language. Little Ving then was 2 years. Valentina said that Viktor Ivanovich was always very proud to know Vladimir Putin: "He even once applied to him with some question. He says he answered me. Remembered. Probably helped. "

Two roads, several dozen houses, tractor in the field and dull stacks around. Now in the hostnames there is no school - only in the next large emblection, but this is only half an hour walk. And then they went to the club to the club, on dancing. In the middle of the day, at the sleepy intersection at the store - only the old boxer Uncle Kolya. It just needs to be in the store, and before retirement is far away. So today the uncle Kolya loudly:

- Is it true that Putin has a cottage here?

- I'll show you if you do not believe. I drank with him with him.

- With Putin?

- Yes. Here Viktor Ivanovich Colbin lived.

- Colbin?

- Yes. Do you know him?

- Veteran, yes?

- Veteran. He was the school director 20 years ago. I am not lying. Who is lying, that mint, correctly I say? One request will be 94 rubles. Will help me?

Residents of emptomy feel almost fellow president. "We are in the emblem library, where we always have people who come to us, say that our president lived in empty member," says Elena Trybush, the head of the Rustic Library. There is even something like the chronicle of the stay of young Putin in empty. All popular stories for the middle of the first term collected in the local newspaper.

In the newspaper "Time" in 2002, an article was published, which was called "Vladimir Putin, who tasted the emblem cereal, became president." "There is mentioned that he was very sociable, walked on these local dances, even there were some clashes there with local youth, it is always, you know, the relationship between your and visitors. But everyone remembers him very well, "Elena told.

And this is a fragment of an article from the newspaper "Pravda North" of January 17, 2002: "Once with Petka, my son, went to the dances in the next village. To Petka there is one. My son is not from the weak - plipped along the patch. The owners of the dance stood behind the local and began to dub off. Volodya commanded: "Petka, in the angle" and one five treated. He was then struggled then. "

Not all locals remember that long fight. In the building of the village club, where the dances were held, rustic chess players are driven. They advise you to talk to the school principal - an elderly woman should remember those years. But the conversation does not work from the very beginning.

Colley-senior - four sons, including Peter from the first marriage. Peter and Volodya saw every summer until 1963, when Victor with his family went to Germany. There, four years was the director of the school for children of the Soviet military in Brandenburg. When Putin and Colbin met here again, one was already 15, another 16.

In the seventies Putin buy a small house in empty. "In our village, Putin's house is our such one local attractions. He is at the entrance to the village and all who drives see him, "Elena Trybush explained to us.

Find the former Dacha Putin simply. The only house at the road, painted not in pink, not in purple. Neighbor Sophia Vasilyevna says that new daches live here. They come, as well as the former tenants, only for the summer.

The column family got close to Putin's family that they began to see not only as neighbors in the country. In an interview with the truth of the North, Viktor Ivanovich told that he often stayed by them in Leningrad, in a communal on the Basque Lane: "Room - 18 meters, in the middle of the table, at the wall - a wardrobe, a bed, on the contrary - a couch. And when I came, I put a clamshell for me. When I came with my wife, we were cast on the floor. "

In 1971, Colbin-Sr. divorced with the first wife and went to the Arkhangelsk region. The life of the front-line was not easy. At the School of the district center Pinega, Viktor Ivanovich worked for only a year, and then the colleague called the German spy returned from the GDR. Viktor Ivanovich was transferred to the wilderness. For many years, a former teacher lived in a tiny village of clear. However, the presence of the Spirit Colbred did not lose - even at 90 years old could drive a neighbor in the garden in the paint. A neighbor Colley Galina Pentyushenkova remembers: "Even such jokes, he had:" Oh and the priest, like a nut, so asks for sin. "

In 2000, Vladimir Putin, the same thing, the son of an old friend Collab, became president of Russia. A seventy-year-old Viktor Ivanovich decided to write him a letter, to tell about the problems of the village - schools, hospitals closed. And in order for the president to read exactly, he began with the mention of Putin's parents. According to Galina Pentyushkova, the letter Viktor Ivanovich wrote "on social issues. In rural areas began to close medplexes, hospitals. There was a gorgeous hospital. She was closed. And wrote: "I would very much like to go to your father's grave." " A neighbor Colley explained that the letter did not affect the solution of these problems - the hospital was not restored.

Residents are clearly proud of Putin in the Kremlin and suffer from the eternal Russian misfortune - bad roads

However, the answer from the Kremlin did not play a big role in the life of the pensioner. His last, ninety-second birthday, he met everything in the same modest house. Small vegetable garden, old furniture, long-demanding repair room. Soon after the death of the old man, children from the second marriage sold him half at home. It is too expensive to contain a living space in a clear - only for heating goes about seven thousand per month.

But there is a person for whom Putin's election by the president played a much greater role. This man is Peter Colbred, Son Viktor Ivanovich. The very Petka, which Putin once saved on a rustic disco. It would seem that a person with such a state should at least once be on the first bands of newspapers or in the reviews of rich grooms. The Russian Multimillioneer is so classified that his photo rain was found only now.

Back in 2001, talking to the Pravda North correspondent, Colbin-senior said that his son Peter supports relations with Putin, and perhaps he works: "Peter, in my opinion, I don't know exactly, but they say In Putin's team somewhere there. They were friends fruit. "

However, Viktor Ivanovich did not particularly disagree exactly what his son is doing. The column of Tatyana Kondratenko's column does not know, and the neighbor Galina Pentyushkova: "Peter has some kind of business in St. Petersburg. Viktor Ivanovich always said that he was a very wealthy man. And he said, if I need money, Peter will always give me them. "

Peter Colbred is really doing business - and great. In 2001, soon after the letter of Colley-Senior Putin, Peter information appears in the database of legal entities. Registration is the company "MOTEXPORT". Her "daughter" supplies equipment for Gazprom. Another business Peter Colley, Surgutax, sells oil for export "Surgutneftegaz" .

And in 2005, Colbred becomes the shareholder of Gunvor, the company, literally for several years that turned into one of the world's largest oil traders. The main volumes of GUNVOR provided Russian players like Rosneft . But for a long time, information about the participation of the column in Gunvor remains a mystery. In 2009, Novaya Gazeta holds a journalistic investigation, for which the lawyers of two other Gunvor shareholders, Gennady Timchenko And Torbjorn Tinckwist, threaten to journalists by the court. Although later confirmed: Peter Colbin was a co-owner of the oil player.

Finally, Peter Colbred has once owned the shares of Yamal LNG. Now this is a well-known project, a second gas liquefaction plant is being built in the Opolyary. Together with Gennady Timchenko, Colbred established a non-commercial partnership "Development of the Effective Investment Market". One of the projects is the landscaping of the Ladoga River embankment in the city of Lachdenpokhe in Karelia. As local residents say, in addition to the public embankment, an elite hotel complex and even yacht club will appear in the city.

One of the first steps of the new President of Russia Vladimir Putin was the change of Gazprom's leadership. Rem Svarev's place took place Alexey Miller who once worked under Putin at the St. Petersburg City Hall. Following new managers, new suppliers appeared at the gas giant. For example, the company "Yamal-Invest" - Peter Colbred indirectly controlled there more than 20%.

In 2008, Yamal Invest came to the field of law enforcement vision. She was suspected of creating illegal schemes and taxes. Here, in the house 29 on Vernadsky Avenue, substantive documents were allegedly stored and black accounting was carried out. In the fall of 2008, operatives came here. Sergey Sokolov, in 2008, who conducted an investigation within the company "Yamal-Invest", argues: "Yamal-Invest" made the supply of Gazprom. Suppressed blades for turbines, some valves, some gaskets. Huge, huge contracts. "

Ruslan Milchenko, who at that time served as a senior officer in particularly important cases of the Department for the Tax Crimes Department of the Western Administrative District, told the rain:

"This firm bought through a trading house, affiliated with it, which, in turn, bought for Sberbank's bonds from another trading house, and he, in turn, took this product at the factory. Passing this path, the cost increased, although in fact nothing happened. That is, the cost increased. And the components were supplied in general, in my opinion, directly from the factory in Gazprom. In fact, the documents were sitting and looked. "

But the verification did not even led to the initiation of a criminal case. Moreover, not only the territorial police, but also the powerful DEB of the Ministry of Internal Affairs turned out to be powerless. "Our check has been suspended several times, decisions were made to refuse to initiate a criminal case. Although there the amount of evasion was about a billion almost. The beginning of it is to engage in the Main Department of Combating Economic Crime, at that time the Department of Economic Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And at some stage, when they had already gotten before the truth, they went to a higher level of distribution of these abducted funds, they also hit the hands and closed this problem, "says Ruslan Milchenko.

Yamal-Invest has ceased to work with Gazprom in 2009. But not because of the audit, but because in the structures of the gas monopoly again changed the management. However, hardly Peter Colley is hardly worried. A businessman earned fantastic money in other companies - Surgutax and Gunvor, and on the outcome of zero, he touched the deal, which can only be envied, earning over a year and a half more than $ 450 million. It began with the fact that the businessman acquired a 25% stake in the company Yamal LNG in Gazprombank for 90 million dollars. Analysts only mowed such a low price. "If, for example, to evaluate in stocks ... It is known that the reserves of Yamal LNG - 926 billion cubic meters of gas. Gazprom has capitalization - 49 billion, and stocks - 36 trillion cubic meters. In general, it turns out that a quarter of Yamal LNG should cost about 300 million dollars, "explains Dmitry Lukashov, an IFC Markets analyst.

This strange deal approved even on the Government Commission led by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in December 2009. And soon Peter Colbred sold the package. Already at the market price, for 526 million dollars. It was then that for the first time he landed on the list of billionaires Forbes.

Petra's biography in the interval between the village fight in the sixties and the business in zero foggy. According to Viktor Khmarina, another familiar Putin's youth, before the perestroika colbered worked in Leningrad Butcher. Two other rain interlocutor said that Colbin is a professional shooter, can even with two hands, in Macedonian.

Sergey Sokolov, Head of the Safety Service "Yamal Invest": "I and Vitya about him told him that he firms cool. And in my past, I also had such a fragment of life. I took a gun in my hands, and not just a gun. Therefore, I was really interested. Even in Macedonski knows how to shoot, it is very difficult. "

Peter Colbred is really well known among the shooters, for example, he knows in the Baltic Rifle Club in St. Petersburg. But among the oil traders, oddly enough, this surname doesn't say anything about anything. Roman Schleinov, Observer of the New Gazette, in the past, the correspondent of the newspaper "Vedomosti", says: "There was little about him, it was known, no one and nothing knew about him. Just a person was not noticeable in the business community, no matter how many questions we ask, no one could remember the surnames. He himself does not impress the person who has a lifestyle, characteristic of billionaires. He is humble enough, he never comes to the public. Yes, we know other non-public billionaires, but their attributes of their life still speak of their condition. Here we do not see this. "

The best column describes his friends with whom I managed to talk to "Vedomosti": "They say that he, of course, is not an entrepreneur in a classical understanding. In their opinion, he is more like a person who is very trusted. Trust to sign documents including. But it does not accept key solutions. This is how it was described. They spoke up to the fact that he constantly should be on the phone, because very often senior comrades can reach some kind of business. "

Who are these senior comrades? It was still believed that the Colley in Business brought Gennady Timchenko - the former co-owner of Gunvor, one of the richest people in Russia, familiar with Putin from the nineties. In the only interview in his life, Colbred gave him a newspaper Vedomosti in 2012 - a businessman spoke to journalists that Timchenko - his childhood friend, they met when Father Colley was translated to serve in the GDR. But what did Timchenko spoke about the third co-owner of Gunvor: "It was my long-time comrade, since childhood, which for some time made a financial investor, having received a small stake in stock for this. He is in no way connected with power or big business. "

It turns out, Colbred told reporters not quite truth: his father was never an officer, although he lived in the GDR. We do not know exactly whether he was a friend of childhood Timchenko. But now we know exactly what the name of the childhood of Peter is called another friend.

The readings of the businessman Yuri Nikitina, data for them several years ago in the London Court deserve separate attention. He says that at the beginning of zero Timchenko broke up with the previous business partners and did not call them into new projects. Timchenko no longer needed them, including because he was confident in his good relations with President Putin, Nikitin emphasized. In about the then, near the oligarch, Peter Kolbin arose.

"I communicated with Timchenko since 1992 pretty closely, we crossed on working issues almost every day. There was no column in his surroundings, "the source told the source associated with one of the business projects Timchenko. He adds that for the first time he heard the name of the colbred only in 2000 - as a familiar Timchenko, but no more. If this is such a big friend of childhood, then why the column was not on the 50th anniversary of a businessman, which Timchenko celebrated with a big scope in St. Petersburg on November 9, 2002?

Non-standard Millionaire for the current times. No publicity. Registered until recently in the small town of Ivangorod on the border with Estonia, father - in the deaf village in the north, and the brothers are people of ordinary professions, who are a sailor who is a customs officer.

Roman Schleinov, Observer of the New Gazette, in the past, the correspondent of the Vedomosti newspaper: Returning to Peter Kolbin ... The question arises for whom this person who does not impress the businessman in whose interests he could keep these 10% in whose interests? I also had a question, and whether he keeps these 10% in the interests of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin?

American authorities, entrusing sanctions against Putin's environment in 2015, included in the list and Peter Colley. The statement of the American Ministry of Finance said literally the following: "Putin has invested in GUNVOR and can have access to the funds of the company."

Whether Putin's connection is indeed with this person still close, we do not know. Press Secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov told us that he was such a name among the familiar president unknown. We asked about friendship with Colbin and Timchenko, to which the official representative of the businessman advised to address the questions from Kolbin himself.

The only optional barcode to the portrait of a mysterious businessman from the Forbes list can be found in the house number 18 on the old Arbat. In this luxury house, the businessman belonged two apartments and two parking spaces for cars. True, at the end of 2015, Colbred, as stated in an extract from Rosreestra, sold apartments and parking Anna Yakovlevna Zazainina . At the same time, the same woman and Gennady Timchenko sold the same woman and Gennady Timchenko in St. Petersburg.
