The main thieves of the Russian Railways. How Yakunin takes money out of your pocket. % of BAM

Although he was born in Tashkent, he spent his childhood in Moscow, where his father Andrei Viktorovich Krapivin moved from Uzbekistan to trade in cotton. Krapivin Sr. not only had close ties with Uzbek officials, but also forged relationships with influential people in Russia. He entered the Russian market through the International Center for Business Cooperation, which was headed at that time. Force support for the business was provided by his partner Valery Markelov, who was associated with, which controlled, among other things, the banking sector. In the mid-nineties, Krapivin Sr., together with Markelov and another entrepreneur, went into the banking business, having received the post of vice president of the recently created Mezhtrustbank.

After the default of 1998, the Russian textile industry began to rise, and Andrey Viktorovich Krapivin, together with his partners, bought out the Avangard factory in the Vladimir region. However, the bright prospects of entrepreneurs were spoiled by the goods poured into Russia from China and Turkey.

Andrey Krapivin

Yakunin, who in the early 2000s became Deputy Minister of Transport, and then First Deputy Minister of Railways, saved Krapivin Sr. from ruin and helped his friend get his own business in the transport sector.

Andrey Krapivin managed to attach his son to the Financial Academy under the Government of the Russian Federation with a degree in International Monetary Relations. Alexei Krapivin actually from the first year began to be listed in commercial structures affiliated with his father. In his third year, he already became the head of the budgeting department of the Eurodesign and K company, of which he himself was a co-founder. The company worked in the field of passenger air transport. Then the young financier headed the Railtech company, which supplied bearings, reinforced concrete sleepers, batteries and other products to railway workers.

After Alexey Andreevich graduated from the university, he moved to the company "ED Logistics", in which he headed the department of budgeting and management reportingand then the finance department. The company was associated with Eurodesign & K and also worked on government orders.

TOKYO customer

Naturally, such a rapid career of a young man was not accidental. In 2003, as a result of the reorganization of the Ministry of Railways, Yakunin became first vice president and then president of Russian Railways (RZD). At the same time, Alexey Andreevich's father began to win various tenders for a new state structure... He himself kept in the shadows and received government contracts through technical companies, and owned large assets through offshore companies.

For the first time Yakunin introduced his colleague to the general public in 2007, when he recommended him for the post of independent director of Freight One (Freight One), a subsidiary of Russian Railways, and also introduced him to the boards of directors of Transmashholding, the largest equipment supplier for Russian Railways, and the largest grain carrier. Rusagrotrans ". Then Vladimir Ivanovich designated Krapivin as his “freelance assistant”, who understands “banking issues and issues of relations with the CIS”.

Indeed, Andrei Viktorovich Krapivin, together with Markelov and Usherovich, were responsible for cooperation with the Stolichny Trade Bank, which was created under the tenders of Russian Railways. Over time, the partners themselves became shareholders of the bank. Their account at STB was designated as "TOKYO customer". Most of the money from these accounts did not go to subcontractors, but to offshore, occasionally remained on deposits with a bank or was simply cashed out. Krapivin's friends, in particular, the former director of the Avangard factory, Andrei Kurkin, and the son of a former member of the Avangard board of directors, Maxim Karayanis, were watching to ensure that the contracts were awarded to the "right" companies. They were in charge of a certain commercial structure "Roszheldorsnab", which was one of the main organizers of tenders for Russian Railways.

The money earned from the contracts of the state monopoly, Krapivin Sr. invested in development projects. So he got a group of companies "GRAS", which built elite real estate in Sochi and in the village of Novoye Lapino on Rublevka. Besides Andrey Viktorovich, the beneficiaries of GRAS were businessman Ruben Khudoyan and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Transtelecom Sergey Lipatov. With the latter, Andrei Krapivin had common projects back in the late nineties, including those associated with Mezhtrustbank. It was through Sergei Vladimirovich that GRAS entered the Sochi market.

Sergey Lipatov was another key figure in Yakunin's schemes to withdraw railway money. At that time, Sergei Vladimirovich headed the board of directors of the Lokomotiv football club, at the same time being the chairman of the board of directors of the main sponsor of the Transtelecom club. Despite the fact that the achievements of the "railroad" team went downhill, and the funding of the club was actually colossal. It was not possible to check the fate of the money, since Sergey Lipatov actually allocated it to himself. Traditionally, money was pumped through Krapivin's credit institutions and companies.

GRAS was also involved in a “sports” corruption scheme. By that time, Sergey Lipatov had left Lokomotiv with a scandal and joined the board of directors of Transmashholding, the sponsor of the Dynamo volleyball club in the capital. Immediately after that, it was GRAS that was entrusted with the construction of a sports complex for volleyball players called Flotilla. Over time, the complex turned from a sports complex to a multifunctional one, and was supposed to consist of four residential complexes 29 floors with offices, a sports and fitness building, a hotel, a swimming pool and apartments.

Through Khudoyan, Sergei Lipatov and Krapivin tried to achieve the abolition of the protection status of the famous Arkhangelskoye estate. Thus, Khudoyan rented 6 hectares of manor land through the Arkhangelskoye Park LLC company, which GRAS was already preparing to build. However, the Moscow Arbitration Court of Appeal declared invalid the agreement on the lease of a forest near the Arkhangelskoye estate, concluded by Mosleskhoz with OOO Park Arkhangelskoye. Later Khudoyan, having quarreled with partners, sold his 33% stake to A1 group. But Krapivin and Lipatov, not wanting to make the business transparent, bought out the share of the new co-owner, paying for it twice the cost.

Gorbuntsov and Maistrenko

Earlier, Krapivin, Markelov and Usherovich had another conflict, this time with one of the co-owners of Stolichny Commercial Bank. VIP clients decided to close their accounts and withdraw all funds from the bank - about $ 400 million. Gorbuntsov himself assured that his clients went bankrupt on development projects and were looking for someone to hang debts on.

He also argued that the armed people, having blocked the bank's head office, forced his ex-wife Larisa to rewrite the assets that belonged to her to strangers. According to another version, the conflict arose due to the fact that Gorbuntsov himself appropriated part of the "railroad" money, transferring them abroad through the Moldovan Universalbank belonging to him. As a result, the banker found refuge in Moldova, from where he told about the peculiarities of Russian Railways' work with contractors.

People from the circle of Krapivin also owned the Moscow business center "Cherry Orchard", the market value of the building of which was approximately 4 billion rubles. In addition, Andrei Krapivin was associated with the developer Flat and Co, which was 76% owned by the Cyprus offshore company, and 24% by the general director Dmitry Maistrenko. This Maistrenko, among other things, owned the Avangard hunting farm, which previously belonged to the textile factory of the same name from Yuryev-Polsky. It was Flat & Co that sold houses in the village of Novoye Lapino, which was built up by Krapivinsky Gras.

The largest suppliers of Russian Railways

Krapivin and his partners in the early 2010s were the largest suppliers of Russian Railways. The same Markelov in 2010 became the owner of PKP Moboil, after which the company became the largest supplier of fuel for railway workers. In 2012 alone, it sold fuel worth 42.5 billion rubles. Other organizations leaders of state orders were associated with Krapivin Sr. himself.

Among them, one can single out Roszheldorproekt, which in 2012 and 2013 alone carried out work for the state monopoly for more than 50 billion rubles. For example, the company acted as the general designer of the famous Adler - Krasnaya Polyana road. There were other Olympic infrastructure facilities near Krapivin, including thanks to Lipatov's connections in the Sochi administration. One of the co-owners of Roszheldorproject was Krapivin Jr. Together with Markelov and Obodovsky, he was a member of the company's board of directors and owned a 50 percent stake. The second half of Roszheldorproekt was owned by Russian Railways. It should be noted that Obodovsky was another key partner of the Krapivin family.

Andrey Viktorovich Krapivin more and more actively introduced his son to the "railway" business. The same "Roszheldorproekt" was a subsidiary of the St. Petersburg Institute "Lengiprotrans", the board of directors of which was headed by Alexey Krapivin. In addition, he became a member of the board of directors of Transelectromontazh, which Krapivin Sr. bought from an oligarch friend. By this time, his son was already the general director of two companies at once - Ortiga Group and located in innovation center Skolkovo Diviti-Invest.

The interests of Alexei Krapivin extended not only to the railway theme. He was also a co-owner of nearly three dozen organizations, including a textile mill, a yacht club, accounting companies, auto centers, suppliers of finishing materials, and Internet startups. He also became, together with Usherovich, Markelov and Obodovsky, co-owner of Interprogressbank, another important partner of Russian Railways.

Offshore

But most of Krapivin's companies were offshore. Various projects in Russia were financed through these commercial structures, in total, hundreds of millions of dollars. Through these offshores, in particular, Russian Railways worked with the world's largest manufacturer of trains and aircraft, the Swedish company Bombardier Transportation, which since the 1990s has supplied the Ebilock-950 microprocessor-based centralization system for switches and signals. Later, a joint Russian-Swedish enterprise "Bombardier Transportation (Signal)" appeared, after which the production of Ebilock-950 was transferred to Russia.

Krapivin traded Ebilock-950 systems through Rambo Management offshore companies. In particular when this system installed "Bombardier Transportation" on the railways in Azerbaijan, unexpectedly won the tender for the supply of Swedish equipment british company Multiserv Overseas Limited. But Multiserv itself had a contract for the supply of Ebilock-950 with Krapivinsky Rambo. It turned out that the Swedish branch of "Bombardier" supplied equipment to its own subsidiary company through at least two "gaskets".

It is noteworthy that Multiserv Overseas Limited was owned by Multiserv Management LLP, the first director of which was Yuri Obodovsky. This scheme was also widespread in Russia. In the period from 2012 to 2014 alone, the Russian Bombardier Transportation (Signal) purchased Ebilock-950 equipment from the British Multiserv Overseas Limited for tens of millions of euros. The Krapivin offshore scheme became the property of a wide audience after the secret documents of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca is one of the world's largest offshore registrars. And the Swedish police even became interested in the story of the supply of microprocessors to Azerbaijan.

With the disclosure of the Panama archives, information surfaced about other firms of Alexei Krapivin, in particular Redstone Financial Ltd and Telford Trading S.A., which received $ 277 million in their accounts in the Swiss bank CBH Compagnie Bancaire Helvetique SA. These funds were associated with largest operation on money laundering in Eastern Europe, which interested the law enforcement agencies of Moldova, Russia and the Baltic countries. It was about the withdrawal from Russia of 22 billion dollars in the period from 2011 to 2014 under the guise of the execution of illegal judgmentsaccepted by Moldovan judges.

In addition, Krapivin's offshore companies issued loans to various Cypriot structures, including for the acquisition of assets in Russia. For example, in 2014, Gordox lent $ 100.5 million to another company in the Virgin Islands to buy the Cypriot structure of Sterema. In the same year, Sterema became the owner of a controlling stake in the large Russian construction company Bamstroymekhanizatsiya, one of the main contractors of the largest reconstruction project for the Baikal-Amur Mainline. The works were estimated at 177.3 billion rubles, which amounted to almost 60% of the total funds allocated for tenders.

Another contractor for the reconstruction of BAM and Transsib was the 1520 Group of Companies created by Krapivin, Markelov, Usherovich and Obodovsky. Obodovsky also served as the general director of this organization. The 1520 Group of Companies won the tender for the electrification of the Eastern landfill, worth about 28 billion rubles. In total, until 2018 it was planned to allocate another 562 billion rubles for the reconstruction of the BAM.

Yakunin's departure

Andrey Viktorovich Krapivin died in Switzerland in 2015. He died under very mysterious circumstances, unexpectedly for everyone he suffered from acute liver edema - hepatomegaly. At the same time, no autopsy was performed. Just a few months later, Vladimir Yakunin was dismissed, for whom the death of a key figure in the schemes he had built before the upcoming audit of the state company became very "timely".

The departure of the "unsinkable" railroad worker was associated not only with his son's acceptance of British citizenship and the political ambitions of Vladimir Ivanovich himself, but also with the colossal waste of budget funds. The new head of the Russian Railways was First Deputy Minister of Transport Oleg Belozerov, who was called upon to audit the monopolist's activities. As a result, Bamstroymekhanizatsiya and Roszheldorproekt were under attack. The son of an oligarch close to Belozerov, Igor Rotenberg, began to claim to replace the Rrapivinsky team.

Oleg Belozerov

The struggle for the deceased's huge offshore empire began. Sergey Lipatov became one of the main contenders for it. However, without his patrons, Sergei Vladimirovich himself began to rapidly lose positions, and a few years later came under suspicion of stealing funds from Mezhtrustbank. Another partner, Krapivina Usherovich, together with Ivan Stankevich, a member of the board of directors of the bank Novoye Vremya, was summoned for interrogation to the investigative committee. According to the investigation, it was on their order that four banks issued large sums currency in the packaging of the US Federal Reserve to Colonel GUEBiPK. And although Usherovich is still in the case only as a witness, he chose to hide abroad and is currently engaged in obtaining citizenship in Cyprus.

However, Alexey Andreevich did not give up hope of gaining a foothold under the new leadership of the Russian Railways. In his "United Construction Company 1520" the general director was replaced, who became a certain Sergei Klevakin. It is noteworthy that earlier Klevakin headed the Foratek ETS company, which, after the change of government of Russian Railways, began to receive contracts from the railway monopoly for larger amounts than before. In this regard, there were suggestions that Alexei Krapivin found a common language with new beneficiaries. Later, there were reports that the 1520 group of companies was going to buy a stake in FGC Mostootryad-47, which was building a railway bypassing Ukraine.

The fact that Aleksey Krapivin chose the right strategy was evidenced by the fact that in 2018 in the Russian Forbes ranking of the Kings of the State Order, he was in first place in the company of Valery Markelov and Boris Usherovich. According to the magazine's calculations, at the moment "OSK 1520" and "Roszheldorproekt" have contracts for a total amount of 218 billion rubles. However, the figure of Krapivin can only nominally lead the pyramid of state orders, and in fact, the process of changing beneficiaries is already under way.

Alexey Andreevich Krapivin is a "worthy" successor to the work of his father, who managed to build an entire offshore empire. Krapivin Sr., taking advantage of his close acquaintance with Vladimir Yakunin, carried out the largest contracts of the Russian Railways through his companies and banks.

After the death of his father and the change in the leadership of Russian Railways, Aleksey Krapivin managed to preserve the built schemes, although it is possible that other people have already become their beneficiaries. Nevertheless, today Alexey Krapivin continues to be considered the largest contractor for Russian Railways. This proves that the changes in the state monopoly have not led to the elimination of its huge corruption component.

Original taken from navalny c How they saw in Russian Railways

It all started with a fur store.

Then we, like everyone else (Novaya Gazeta, Vedomosti), studied the offshore companies for which the "cunning" "railwayman" re-registered his estate.

The diagram began to look like this:

Then everyone got tired of fiddling with incomprehensible Yakunin offshore schemes.

But not for us. Step by step, we figured out the relationships and drew the diagram.

Now it hangs over my table and looks like this:


And this is only a small part. All this is actually too early to publish, it would be possible to tinker with it, but there are two important factors:

You can even switch back and forth for a while.
Cry: Putin stands for "deoffshorization", click: yakunin family offshore scheme.

This is what I had in mind when I spoke in my last word about the abhorrent feudal system in which several mafia families control 85% of the country's national wealth.


We affirm that the family of the head of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin, with the help of corruption and abuse, has built a gigantic business empire registered with offshore companies around the world.

This empire is worth billions of dollars. The Yakunin family is one of the richest families in Russia and the world.

This is a real mafia family that exists because it works for the mafia boss: V.V. Putin, who allows them to steal everything around.

The scheme of the Yakunin empire is already very large and intricate.
It is difficult for an untrained person to understand it, so I have isolated several already obvious stories to make it easier to understand:

Hotels.

Cyprus-based RHC Regional Hotel Chain Ltd is owned by two other Cypriot companies: VERLYS NOMINEES LIMITED and V.R.L. NOMINEES LIMITED. The founder of V.R.L. NOMINEES LIMITED is Vera Lyssiotis , she, together with Renos Lyssiotis, is also the founder of VERLYS NOMINEES LIMITED.
Vera Lyssiotis daughter Renos lyssiotis both are Cypriot lawyers.

The statements of the Yakunins themselves on this matter are slightly more than completely contradictory:

• "In a statement to Reuters, Russian Railways said there were no business ties between Andrey Yakunin and the state monopoly."


• "In a statement to Reuters, Vladimir Yakunin generally denied any connection with his son's business."


• "The first three open hotels - in Kazan, Astrakhan and Izhevsk" - have nothing to do with Russian Railways, Andrey said. However, at least the next five it is planned to open opposite or very close to the most important train stations, evidenced by Rezidor information.


• To get suitable plots, said Andrey Yakunin, his company conducted a "rigorous selection process"in order to find a real estate consultant in Russia. It turned out to be a subsidiary of Russian Railways Zheldoripoteka. (Surprisingly, 50% of Zheldoripoteka's shares were controlled by Yakunin's partner Sergei Orlov, who is also a member of the board of directors of Zheldoripoteka) She helped the RGS to get the necessary objects, he added.


• "We were able to find several plots of land, which we eventually acquired through Zheldoripoteku ", - said Andrey Yakunin. The plots are located opposite or next to train stations in major cities ”

The revealed scheme suggests that the Yakunins are lying.

House with lions

"... on Petrova Square,
Where a new house has risen in the corner,
Where above the elevated porch
With a raised paw, as if alive,
There are two sentry lions ... "

A.S. Pushkin, "The Bronze Horseman"

At 15 sites in large Russian cities, the activities of the hotelier Yakunin are not limited.

On conditions unknown to the layman, the Presidential Property Management Department allocated a building on Voznesensky Prospekt for a "long-term lease" to the company ZAO Tristar Investment Holding. A large-scale reconstruction of an architectural monument of the early 19th century was supposed to be completed several years ago, and the building itself is now becoming a Four Seasons hotel. VIY Management, owned by Andrey Yakunin, was already involved in attracting investments in this project. They coped with the work, and in 2008 Uralsib Bank provided Tristar with a soft loan of $ 45 million.

Rosregionproekt got no less significant territory of the former cargo yard of the Moskovskaya-Tovarnaya station - 21 hectares of land, on which, according to the project, a residential and shopping mall... Judging by the information in open sources, the site will become the property of Rosregionproject Development LLC on an exchange basis. In 2008, the company, established about 3 years ago and having no projects before Moskovskaya-Tovarnaya, announced its intention to invest $ 1.5- $ 2 billion in this project.

Chimpoake actively denies the affiliation of both of the aforementioned companies with Andrei Yakunin. In fact, Valentin Tiberievich is disingenuous. According to the historical record of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the Cypriot offshore company ROSREGIONPROJECT Ltd (owns 80% of shares in Rosregionproject Development LLC), in 2006 fully owned Regionalnaya Hotel Chain»Andrey Yakunin.

The other 20% of Rosregionproject Development LLC is currently owned by the Cyprus office of LONGSOUND INVESTMENTS Ltd. She, in turn, is a quarter owned, presumably, by the Liechtenstein Investport Holdings Foundation. The last one must be remembered and not forgotten before reading the story about the seaport of Ust-Luga.

Another addition to the collection of "random coincidences" - the Cypriot ROSREGIONPROJECT Ltd is 55% owned by the Panamanian offshore RHODIA ENTERPRISES Ltd. Panama is a small country, and it just so happened that the director and management company RHODIA coincides with the director and management company of DIAMONDROCK inc. to which a house in London at 88 West Heath Road is registered, worth 4.5 million pounds, which Andrey Yakunin indicates as his place of permanent residence .

Interesting, huh? Whatever you take a patriot and a fighter against the pernicious influence of the West, his son lives in London in a house for 4.5 million pounds.

Ust-Luga

So the turn came to the story about the seaport of Ust-Luga.

Large-scale construction in the Leningrad Region has been carried out since 2000 within the framework of a public-private partnership. On the basis of a contract with the Ministry of Transport, a state customer, OJSC "Company" Ust-Luga "is the initiator and developer of this facility. On the company's website, you can learn in detail the plans to create five interconnected clusters: transport and logistics, industrial, city cluster, recreational and agro-industrial.

Ust-Luga Company actually has a special mission. It brings to life the most cherished dreams and plans of V.V. Putin, who devoted part of his dissertation to the development of this port (topic: " Strategic planning reproduction of the region's mineral resource base in the conditions of the formation of market relations. St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region ") back in 1997.

On page 135, as a result of a "comprehensive survey of the coast" and an in-depth analysis of the need to create Transport and Technological Port Complexes (TTPK) in the Leningrad Region, Vladimir Vladimirovich comes to the conclusion:

Now about how the Yakunin family makes the President's dreams come true.

• Vladimir Ivanovich Yakunin himself until the very end of 2005 was the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ust-Luga Company. However, as stated in the company's press release very accurately, "after leaving the post of Chairman of the Board of Directors, Vladimir Yakunin is not leaving the project." The same press release reminds the reader that "at the same time, Vladimir Yakunin continues to supervise the project on the personal instruction of the President Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. "

• The son of Vladimir Ivanovich, Victor, also, as it turned out, was working on a project in Ust-Luga. In the list of affiliated persons of OJSC Rosneftbunker, which is building an oil terminal in Ust-Luga, Viktor Vladimirovich is a member of the board of directors until March 2012. The owner of OJSC "Rosneftbunker" according to Rosstat is the Cyprus "Capefar Limited". This offshore company is part of the Gunvor group. Now Viktor Yakunin's successful career in Gunvor (in various positions for about 7 years) is taking its place.

• Vladimir Vasiliev, who jointly owns with Yakunin Sr., OOO "Real Okhota", is also involved in the construction of the port. His company LLC Finprom-Engineering, a contractor of Russian Railways, as stated on their website, was engaged in equipping railway approaches to Ust-Luga. By the way, the friendship between Yakunin and Vasiliev grew into effective cooperation a long time ago - another company of Vasiliev, Innline LLC, received contracts for the installation of lighting equipment at Vyborg and Finlyadskiye railway stations.

• There was also a place for Orlov, a personal Advisor and co-founder of the British VIY Management, and RVM Capital (invests in large non-public companies operating on the Russian market, mainly affiliated with Russian Railways), where he is a director. RVM has stakes in both Ust-Luga Company and TLC OJSC - the company responsible for the transport and logical part of the port development.

At this point, it is worth deviating from reasoning about Putin's dreams and returning to the offshore empire of Vladimir Yakunin.

Do you remember the Cypriot offshore ROSREGIONPROJECT, which builds up the territory of the Moskovskaya-Tovarnaya station in St. Petersburg? So, it is its Liechtenstein owner Investport Holding Establishment (renamed from Foundation, as can be seen from the Liechtenstein extract) that owns 15% and 23% of Ust-Luga Company and TLC OJSC, respectively.

Once again, the director of Rosregionproekt, Valentin Tiberievich Chimpoake, was mistaken - it seems that there is still an affiliation between his employer and the Yakunins.

And once again we try and remember the offshore QUETAR CONSULTANTS LTD, which is registered as a lawyer-writer, and owns the Cypriot ANTALON, from which traces lead to the dacha in Akulinino.

It's the most important. We must make sure that, despite the deathly silence of the zomboy, several million people in the country know about Yakunin's affairs and that Putin is protecting him (unless, of course, we see the resignation and investigation).

Please help spread this post wherever possible.
Blogs, social networks, twitter, local forums, etc.

It will take you seconds, but for us it is fundamentally important.

We will make a special newspaper and distribute it according to our scheme.

I have agreed to cooperate with the Interregional Trade Union of Railway Workers, they will disseminate this information through their networks and in their newspaper.

When we make printed propaganda materials, with your help, we will organize raids on railway stations and hand over leaflets to RJ employees. First of all to the conductors. They will have something to discuss with train passengers long distance.

Well, we will do all sorts of similar things.

Advocacy will work great here. Absolutely everyone faced RJ. Anyone who has seen these stations, toilets, slept on wet bed linen and sees a dilapidated departmental railway building next to the house, will be happy to get acquainted with information about the shining empire of the Yakunin family of billionaires.
Connect.

As I wrote above: THIS IS ONLY A VERY SMALL PART.
If there is any additional Information, send: [email protected]

We very much welcome the efforts of any investigative journalists who begin to spin pieces of this scheme and develop it.

In short, people rise up to fight the mafia. Each of us can do something useful to make these guys a little less comfortable in their fur storages.

Many thanks in advance to everyone who will participate. You cannot be indifferent.

We will promptly inform you about the development of events.

Thanks section: many thanks to the FBK employee

The documents that were at the disposal of Radio Liberty refer to the monopoly presidency of Vladimir Putin's friend Vladimir Yakunin, who was dismissed in October 2015. However, according to sources in the company, all existing schemes with the change of leadership have not changed. Many heads of Russian Railways branches have retained their posts and continue to work in close cooperation with representatives of the prosecutor's office and transport police, covering the massive embezzlement.

1) "The only supplier"

The procurement activities of Russian Railways are regulated by Federal Law-223 "On the procurement of goods, works, services separate types legal entities. "The law requires the monopoly to have information transparency in purchases, their competitiveness, targeted and efficient spending of funds. However, unlike FZ-44, which regulates purchases of government agencies, FZ-223 allows emergency situations and under some other conditions, the presence of the so-called " sole supplier", - when the tender is not necessary.

The management of Russian Railways in the "Procurement Regulations" in particular allowed not to hold tenders "in exceptional cases" by decision of the president, vice presidents, heads of branches, structural divisions of Russian Railways - that is, almost any railway chief.

On the basis of such orders, in 2015 alone, 53,483 contracts were concluded for a total amount of 88.7 billion rubles. For eight months of 2016 - 30,689 contracts for 79.5 billion rubles. For comparison: Russia spends about the same 160 billion rubles a year on new national projects.

The list of contracts that were concluded without a tender includes multibillion-dollar contracts for the overhaul of Russian Railways facilities, the construction of transfer hubs, as well as multi-million dollar contracts for the preparation of internal documentation.

Documentation

So, in 2014, NIIAS OJSC for 11 million rubles performed "work in preparation for the management board of Russian Railways", and CJSC ERTA-CONSULT in 2013 for 11.8 million rubles prepared "documents for submission to the Ministry of Energy" NIIAS OJSC is 75% owned by Russian Railways, and 25% owned by individuals, while ERTA-CONSULT's beneficiaries are hiding in offshore areas: the company is 50% owned by a Russian citizen, and the other 50% is divided equally between two Cypriot companies.

The term of execution of work under the order for 4 million rubles is 6 days.

Another example is CJSC MKD Partner, which in July 2014 developed a “process model of the centralized disclosure” in 9 days and for 29.7 million rubles.

A Radio Liberty source at Russian Railways, who wished to remain anonymous, explained: as a rule, these are screen contracts with only one general director and an accountant in the staff, and work under such contracts in most cases was not performed at all.

Furniture

The management of Russian Railways gives over to the sole suppliers and completely household orders. In September 2014, a contract was signed with OOO Holding Company Rostzheldortrans for the supply of furniture to the then head of the Central House of Artists Vladimir Suprun for 12.8 million rubles. In total, the furniture for the management of the Central Dispatching Center from Rostzheldortrans cost Russian Railways in 2014 41 million rubles. According to the SPARK-Interfax system, the firm employs up to five people.

In addition to expensive furniture, the management of the Central House of Artists also needs flowers for work. In 2013, the branch entered into an agreement for the supply of flowers for 1.1 million rubles with Remservice LLC, and in 2014 for 1.5 million with Proftekh Company CJSC.

Just good people

The Procurement Regulations oblige Russian Railways to justify the choice of a single supplier. However, the rationale most often sounds like this: "these companies were the winners open tenders"to perform these works in 2012-2013 and" have established themselves as conscientious performers. "

Based on the fact that the company has proven itself well, contracts were signed, for example, with the Production Company Amethyst LLC for the celebration of the Day of the Railwayman in 2013 - for 8 million rubles. In total, the CDI spent more than 21 million rubles on holding the holidays from 2012 to 2014 , Amethyst was the main contractor.

2) Large-scale "chain of rollbacks"

Only one case shows the extent of how the rollback chain works. October 22, 2013 employees Linear control The Ministry of Internal Affairs detained at the Moscow-Kurskaya station four citizens who were carrying out repair work at this station. They were hired "privately" by Vitano LLC, which worked under a contract with SetStroyEnergo CJSC, a contractor of Russian Railways. At the same time, Russian Railways paid "SetStroyEnergo" 5.5 million rubles, and Vitano received almost a million less. How much money was paid "privately" to employees is not indicated in the documents.

3) How to hire yourself?

Since the late 2000s, Russian Railways has been trying to get rid of non-core businesses. Repair and maintenance of tracks, construction and repair of crossings, repair of infrastructure facilities, even the services of conductors on long-distance trains - all this is today transferred to third-party companies. At the same time, these companies often borrowed and continue to lease personnel and equipment from the same Russian Railways.

Cuvettes

For example, since 2012, Russian Railways has outsourced the cleaning and cutting of cuvettes. In 2012, tenders were won by two companies - OOO GarantStroy and OOO RSP-M: for 204 million and 461.6 million rubles, respectively. At the same time, Russian Railways supplied contractors with means of production: they rented equipment, and employees of Russian Railways were also transferred to work with contractors.

Cutting down trees

Since 2011, the work on the maintenance of the right-of-way and combating vegetation along the railway tracks has been completely outsourced. Agreements were concluded with several companies, including CJSC "Group of Companies" Legion "- for 2.6 billion rubles.

As in the case of ditches, special equipment is needed to carry out this work, and in remote areas and railway equipment to access road sections in the taiga or in the mountains - all this was provided by Russian Railways.

According to one of the memos, which Radio Liberty got acquainted with, the cost of the Legion's work turned out to be three to five times higher than the marginal cost for such work, set by Russian Railways during tenders. At the same time, before the conclusion of the contract, the work was successfully performed by Russian Railways employees or local contractors.

But despite the increased costs, efficiency declined: three to five times less vegetation was cut down along the railroad than was necessary.

4) Who controls Russian Railways?

In addition to the prosecutor's office and the police, Russian Railways' expenses are monitored by Zheldorcontrol, an internal structure that reports directly to the president of the company.

In 2012, Zheldokontrol tested the Russian Railways project "Renovation and modernization of track equipment". The auditors found out that Russian Railways employees signed inaccurate acts of technical acceptance and consignment notes on the suppliers' territory: the buyer paid the money, but the equipment remained with the seller. Such unreliable acts were signed for 1.9 billion rubles.

The same document states that the suppliers shipped incomplete and unusable goods for 302 million rubles - all invoices were also signed by Russian Railways.

In 2013, Rosfinnadzor and the Moscow Interregional Transport Prosecutor's Office simultaneously conducted an audit of the efficiency of spending budget subsidies for overhaul of railway transport facilities. In 2012, they amounted to more than 23 billion rubles. Both inspections revealed large-scale violations:

• misuse of funds when access roads are repaired at the expense of federal subsidies,
• overestimation of the cost of work,
• inaccurate information about costs,
• unwillingness of Russian Railways to demand penalties from its counterparties if the deadlines are missed.

In total, according to both documents, violations amounted to almost 782 million rubles, and this, according to the sources of Radio Liberty in Russian Railways, is only a small part of the real violations discovered to divert attention.

“There is just panic in the companies, my boss has not appeared in the office on Staraya Basmannaya since Wednesday. Now everyone will run, "- this is how an employee of one of the Russian Railways contractors after its beneficiary," the king of the state order "Valery Markelov, describes the atmosphere in the workplace. Three more of his partners are on the wanted list. As The Bell found out, all of them are suspected of multibillion-dollar embezzlement of Russian Railways funds. Another accusation is large bribes to Interior Ministry colonel Dmitry Zakharchenko. When the security official was detained in 2016, he was found in possession of more than 9 billion rubles in cash and several elite apartments registered with his relatives. Until recently, the origin of this money remained a mystery.

The case against Markelov's group will be much larger than the charges against Zakharchenko, according to three sources from The Bell who are familiar with the investigation. "What has already been found, pulls on one of the largest scams with state money," - says the source of The Bell, close to the FSB. We are talking about tens, if not hundreds of billions of rubles, confirms another.

The key asset of Markelov and his partners is the 1520 Group of Companies (the name is a reference to the width of the Russian railway track), which employs more than 12 thousand people. This business empire, which grew on the contracts of Russian Railways, was built in just a few years under the former president of the state monopoly, Vladimir Yakunin. Andrei Krapivin, Markelov's business partner, was well acquainted with him. In 2015, Krapivin died, and his son Alexei got a share in the business.

The group remained the largest contractor for Russian Railways even after Yakunin's resignation - right now, according to The Bell, it is executing contracts worth over 350 billion rubles.

Wanted group

The arrest of Valery Markelov became last week (the Rosbalt agency was the first to report his arrest), and the businessman became famous at the beginning of the year, when, together with his partners - Alexei Krapivin, Boris Usherovich and Yuri Obodovsky - topped the Forbes rating "Kings of the state order" ... The Basmanny Court arrested Markelov until December 1.

Employees of the Investigative Committee and the FSB detained a businessman in Sochi, where he flew from abroad to perform his son Artem Markelov in the Formula 2 races.

The entrepreneur became a defendant in a criminal case initiated at the end of September under three articles of the Criminal Code - taking a bribe (Article 290), giving a bribe (Article 291) and fraud (Article 159), two sources of The Bell in law enforcement agencies told. In addition to embezzlement from Russian Railways, Markelov is suspected of transferring bribes totaling over 2 billion rubles to Interior Ministry Colonel Dmitry Zakharchenko. Other defendants in the case are Markelov's partner in many companies from GK 1520 Boris Usherovich, member of the board of directors of Novoye Vremya bank Ivan Stankevich and former deputy chairman of Inkredbank Dmitry Motorin. According to the interlocutors of The Bell, all three are wanted and are hiding abroad. Usherovich, one of them adds, has Israeli citizenship. Alexei Krapivin, general director of GK 1520, according to Rosbalt, has been put on the operational wanted list - his status must be clarified during interrogation.

The main reason for initiating a criminal case against contractors of Russian Railways was the testimony of banker Vladimir Antonov, according to the interlocutors of The Bell. He was detained in April in St. Petersburg for fraud with the money of the Sovetsky Bank. Antonov pleaded guilty, entered into a pre-trial agreement, but in August the court refused to release him under house arrest. Antonov was well acquainted with Markelov's group and provided them with banking services, according to a source close to the FSB The Bell, they were trying to get him to testify against them. When this finally happened, the court released the banker under house arrest. Antonov's lawyer declined to comment.

Zakharchenko himself testified against Markelov, according to one of The Bell's interlocutors, who is familiar with the course of the investigation. After that, the common-law wife of Colonel Marina Semynina was able to leave Russia. The woman's lawyer, Alexander Kabanov, confirmed to The Bell that Semynina and her daughter received their foreign passports on September 27 and flew abroad the next day. “The investigation illegally seized and withheld the passports of Marina Semynina and her daughter, we were trying to get them for six months,” Kabanov says. But Zakharchenko's lawyer, Alexander Gorbatenko, denied in a conversation with The Bell that his client had testified against Markelov. According to him, the colonel has not yet been charged with a new episode, bribes from Russian Railways contractors.

Basmachi and bankers

In 2007, German Gorbuntsov, co-owner of Stolichny Trade Bank (STB) and Incredbank, drew attention to the strange transactions of one of the clients. Approximately 150 thousand euros each month went from the accounts of a fund associated with Russian Railways, a certain Dmitry Zakharchenko. Deputy Chairman of the Board of Inkredbank Dmitry Motorin explained to the boss that this was a payment “for help” from an employee of the Department of Economic Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Gorbuntsov later recalled in an interview with Republic. “If the bank is“ white ”, such expenses, of course, are not needed. Otherwise, there is always a budget for “raids” by law enforcement agencies. Zakharchenko more than justified his "salary," explains a source familiar with both Zakharchenko and Gorbuntsov to The Bell.

STB and Incredbank existed until 2011, after which they were liquidated by merging with other financial institutions... Prior to liquidation, Incredbank actively cooperated with Moldovan Moldindconbank, a key participant in the famous Laundromat scheme, according to which, according to an investigation by OCCRP and Novaya Gazeta, about $ 21 billion was illegally withdrawn from Russia in four years.

In 2006-2009, accounts of Russian Railways contractor companies were opened at STB. Various firms, not united in a single holding, have won many tenders from the state monopoly - from work on electrifying tracks and supplying components to providing security services. The group of companies connected by the same beneficiaries included more than a dozen legal entities. As the Slon.Ru publication calculated in 2014, which studied all the tenders of Russian Railways for 2012-2013, this group won tenders for 120 billion rubles - a third of all the money of the state monopoly distributed over these years through tenders.

Four businessmen stood behind the winning companies: Andrey Krapivin, Valery Markelov, Boris Usherovich and Yuri Obodovsky. The biographies of all four are still a mystery. Krapivin played a key role - in the 1990s he was engaged in the banking business and was personally acquainted with the former head of Russian Railways, Vladimir Yakunin. The banker Gorbuntsov claimed that Iskander Makhmudov, the co-owner of Transmashholding (a major supplier of Russian Railways), could introduce them. In the summer of 2007, the former head of Russian Railways introduced Krapivin to the general public, recommending him to the board of directors of Freight One and describing him as well versed in banking issues. For Yakunin himself, Krapivin worked as an adviser on a voluntary basis.

“Krapivin, of course, was in charge, Markelov was a workhorse and a think tank, Usherovich was responsible for the security cover, and Obodovsky was the only one of all was a railroad worker,” one of their former partners describes the distribution of roles.

All the companies that worked with Russian Railways were managed from one center - the Moscow office on Prospekt Mira, says another source to The Bell, who has worked for more than five years in the structures of Markelov and his partners.

Quote: “There is one floor - financiers, another - lawyers, and everyone works for the tenders of Russian Railways. They write documentation for each competition. Outwardly, everything looks decent, but if you think about it, even funny. Companies where the workers are crippled, there is no equipment, the authorized capital is a penny, took tenders for billions, ”he describes.

The Bell verified that a number of companies associated with Markelov are indeed registered at the same address on Prospekt Mira: here, for example, GK 1520 itself is registered, as well as Transproject-Finance LLC (subsidiary design institute Lengiprotrans, owned by Krapivin, Markelov and Usherovich) and Aka Management LLC (combines the development projects of Krapivin Jr.).

Some tenders also look strange. For example, the Eurasian Electrotechnical Company, which officially has seven employees, won railway tenders in 2016 for almost 4 billion rubles. And the firm "Trustinvest" with only two employees in 2015 won the competitions of Russian Railways and subsidiary "Elteza" for 2.5 billion rubles. Finally, three employees of the Vostoknefteprodukt company in 2016 managed to get contracts for 7 billion rubles. How all the listed companies are related to Markelov and his partners, you can read.

Several more companies with the same beneficiaries were registered on Staraya Basmannaya Street in Moscow, not far from the main building of Russian Railways. Markelov's group, according to one of The Bell's interlocutors, was called “Basmachi” because of this.

First witness

Dmitry Zakharchenko received from contractors of Russian Railways a salary of 150 thousand euros a month and about 5% of the profits of Markelov's companies - this was later told by the banker Gorbuntsov, who had quarreled with partners and left for London. For this, the colonel, according to his version, helped his partners to avoid trouble from the law enforcement agencies. Zakharchenko is probably familiar with Markelov, Colonel's lawyer Yuri Novikov evasively said on the Dozhd TV channel.

Part of the money of Russian Railways, transferred to the accounts of Markelov's companies at STB, was transferred to real subcontractors, the rest - in the region of 15% of the contract amount - was either cashed or withdrawn abroad, Gorbuntsov argued. He himself withdrew from joint business with Russian Railways contractors in 2009, at the height of the crisis. According to the banker, the former partners decided that he embezzled the money of their companies, took away his assets, and he himself was forced to flee to London, where an attempt was made on him. From there, Gorbuntsov not only gives interviews, but also cooperates with Russian law enforcement agencies.

Around 2013-2014, Gorbuntsov communicated via Skype with representatives of the TFR, a source told The Bell surrounded by the banker. Later, he forwarded the testimony in writing to Moscow. The formal reason for the conversation was the raider seizure of Gorbuntsov's property, but in fact the investigators were interested in the Markelov case - "95% of the Investigative Committee's questions concerned money withdrawn from Russian Railways." At the same time, Gorbuntsov first told the investigation about Zakharchenko's "salary" and about his connections with Russian Railways contractors. But Gorbuntsov's testimony did not prevent the business of Markelov and his partners from developing confidently for several more years.

15% of BAM

In 2015, Andrei Krapivin died, shares in companies that worked with Russian Railways were transferred to his son Alexei. By this time, the partners of Krapivin Sr. already controlled not only many small disparate suppliers of the state monopoly, but also large enterprises.

In 2013, speaking at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Vladimir Putin paid much attention to the development of the Far East. An additional impetus to the region, the president said, could be given by the reconstruction of railways, and, in the future, the construction of a second track on the Baikal-Amur Mainline.

In 2014, Russian Railways played out the largest tenders for the development of the Eastern range (this is the name for the reconstruction of the BAM and the Trans-Siberian Railway). Of the 300 billion rubles allocated for this project by Russian Railways, the tenders for 206 billion were won by companies associated with Markelov, RBC magazine calculated. And another 150 billion rubles - out of competition - was received by the Roszheldorproekt Institute, which is controlled by the same group.

The key enterprise at the Eastern landfill is PJSC Bamstroymekhanizatsiya, based in Tynda since the construction of BAM. In 2014, on the eve of Russian Railways tenders, its owner changed. The new owners were two Cypriot companies, in turn controlled by firms from the British Virgin Islands. After the change of owners, the board of directors of the enterprise was headed by 29-year-old Alexei Krapivin, also Valery Markelov and Boris Usherovich were included.

Quote: Bamstroymekhanizatsiya is now inside Russian Railways, so to speak. Not as a structure, but something close. This was one of the conditions of the competition [for 44 billion rubles, which the company won in June 2014], ”the current mayor of Tynda, Yevgeny Cherenkov, told RBC in 2016.

In August 2015, the head of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin resigned. But the business of the "kings of state order" remained stable: the companies controlled by Krapivin and Markelov, as the analysis of The Bell shows, continue to win tenders and carry out large-scale work on the BAM and Transsib. Right now, PJSC Bamstroymekhanizatsiya, MC Bamstroymekhanizatsiya, OSK 1520 and Roszheldorproekt are performing contracts totaling 356 billion rubles (some of them are in a consortium with other companies) until the end of 2018–2019.

“I shook the dust off my feet so long ago that I don’t want to have anything to do with it. Let them figure it out there, ”Vladimir Yakunin told The Bell.

“Why weren't they kicked out under Belozerov [Oleg Belozerov - President of Russian Railways since August 2015]? I think they have entangled Russian Railways so tightly, they control such a huge number of contractors that it is impossible to break off relations without disrupting the normal work process, "says the interlocutor of The Bell from the circle of banker Gorbuntsov.

The representative of Russian Railways, in response to the request of The Bell about what will happen to these construction sites after Markelov's arrest and whether the monopoly has any claims to GK 1520, said that Russian Railways does not comment on "the activities of third-party companies." The arrest of Markelov, who is one of the shareholders of "GK 1520" and does not hold any positions in the companies of the group, did not affect its activities, says a company representative. He denies the information that the general director of the company Alexei Krapivin is on the operational wanted list.

“I always go to elections and vote. Because I believe in the law and that we live in a state governed by the rule of law, "- at a meeting of the Moscow City Court two years ago, shortly after his arrest, Interior Ministry Colonel Dmitry Zakharchenko called to remember the presumption of innocence and the rule of law. At the same time, he was unable to explain the origin of the cash dollars and euros ($ 120 million and 2 million euros) found in his sister's apartment in the residential complex "Kvartal Shuvalovsky".

So far, Zakharchenko has been charged with accepting bribes worth $ 800 thousand, 7 million rubles and another 3.5 million rubles in the form of a discount card of the La Mare restaurant. All these episodes have nothing to do with Russian Railways contractors. These are the episodes that were easiest to prove, says one of The Bell's interlocutors. New charges could now be brought against the colonel.

Natalia Telegina (for The Bell), Anton Baev

This post is dedicated to you, the most advanced citizens of Russia. You are technologically advanced, love gadgets, travel a lot and use the Russian information network "Cheburashka" on the Internet.

Now the Anti-Corruption Foundation will tell you how your advanced and technological skills bring money to the family of our old friend Vladimir Yakunin. A great patriot, billionaire and owner of an offshore empire.

Tell me, have you ever bought a train ticket online? Through a mobile app? Surely they bought, or at least your relatives and friends bought.

Put aside your business, let's wander together through the open spaces of the fur store, looking into its most hidden corners.

Who is that standing there guarding the chests of gold? Is it really a terrible witch, as in the fairy tale "Flint"?

Nearly. This is Vera Lissiotis, an enterprising Cypriot lawyer. You must remember her from previous FBK investigations.

It is this Cypriot woman with her father who is the nominal founder of the Cypriot offshore companies VRL and VERLYS, which own the main assets of the Yakunin family:

Deal with the girl? Do you understand who she is and why?

Well, now let's take that darkened scroll to the left of the diamond basket and read some facts from it.

I repeat: only the facts established by the FBK investigation department:

In 2012, after the entry into force of the order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation of August 31, 2011 N 228 "On the establishment of the form of an electronic travel document (ticket) for railway transport", Russian Railways is closely tackling the sale of electronic train tickets on the Internet.

We offer three possible answers:

a) Because LLC "UFS" and LLC "Electronic ticket" won competitions placed in advance on trading platforms

b) Because LLC "UFS" and LLC "Electronic ticket" have unique knowledge and expertise, and besides them, no one knows how to sell tickets on the Internet

c) Because the head of Russian Railways crook and thief Vladimir Yakunin secured a contract for an offshore company controlled by his son Andrey Yakunin, in order to steal and appropriate a percentage of the sale of each Russian Railways ticket and build a fur store for yourself.

Have you chosen an option?

Now, ATTENTION, CORRECT ANSWER:

This is an official extract from the Cyprus registry.

Fathers! VERLYS and our old friend Vera Lissiotis, the treasurer of the Yakunin family. The director of AM EBOOKERS is a certain Alastair Matthew Cunningham:

Unremarkable in general, except that the English newspaper The Guardian included the first number in the list of fraudulent directors. More than 1000 companies are registered with it in just a few of the mentioned jurisdictions:

So the ownership chain looks like this: yakunin family - Vera Lissiotis - VERLYS company - AM EBOOKERS company - UFS LLC ... This is all confirmed by official databases.

Now, hurry! Drop everything and go to the App Store or Google Play! There is one thing to check. Probably, you also have doubts! Downloading the only thing official application for the sale of Russian Railways tickets

We look carefully

It turns out that no matter how advanced you think you are, little Vladimir Ivanovich Yakunin sits in your fashionable iPhone.

When you click on the buttons to buy a train ticket, he, Yakunin, like a little leprechaun dwarf, appears to take a gold coin from you and put it in his pot.

Here's how much Yakunin's offshore clan makes from every ticket sold

Our rough estimate: the app was downloaded in a year 800 thousand times and through it 90 thousand tickets were bought. Given the average commission of 554 rubles (we do not know the distribution), the UFS earned almost 50 million rubles on this application.

But the fashionable iPhone is not limited to the UFS application. In fact everyone literally every train ticket sold on the internet in addition to the Russian Railways website, it is sold through the UFS. All with the same commission.

Buying tickets from any known site , you enrich the Yakunin clan (although, it would seem, how much further).

Anyone interested in how it works, figure it out.

In short, the Yakunin UFS sets the amount of the mandatory commission for each ticket sold and generously shares 30% of this fee with the partner site. 70% keeps to himself.

Once again, a rough estimate: in 2012, 7 million tickets were sold through the UFS. Suppose that in 2013 they sold a little more, the market is growing, let's say 8 million. We take the same average commission of 554 rubles, subtract 30% of the remaining from agents, total 388 rubles x 8 million \u003d 3.1 billion rubles of UFS revenue for 2013 .

Isn't this a dream business? We take the state railroad monopoly and launch electronic ticket sales through our office, collecting a commission of 600 rubles from each ticket.

The Anti-Corruption Foundation is often accused that we show only one side of the issue, we do not give our opponents a chance to answer.

Here's a chance. We really want the powerful statesman and patriot Vladimir Yakunin to answer these questions. We kindly ask all journalists to ask him them:

- On what conditions did Russian Railways enter into an agreement with the UFS and what is the benefit of the state corporation from such cooperation?

- Who is the ultimate beneficiary of the Cypriot offshore company that monopolized the sale of electronic tickets?

- Is it possible for third-party developers to access the sale of Russian Railways tickets, bypassing the services of the UFS?

- How can you explain the amazing and complete coincidence of the nominal owners of UFS with the nominal owners of almost all famous business assets of Andrey Yakunin (RGS and others)

We will be glad to receive answers from Russian Railways and personally from Vladimir and Andrey Yakunin. In the meantime, we are waiting for preventive complaints to the FAS and blogger Medvedev that Vladimir Yakunin is still a terrible rogue and a thief, and also lies about the fact that his son's business does not have access to Russian Railways funds.

The FBK is also studying the question of how the sanctions imposed against Yakunin should be used by the American company Apple, with the help of which Yakunin steals money from Russian citizens.

It is impossible to imagine that in any developed (and even underdeveloped) country, the head of the railways would be caught selling passenger tickets through his offshore company and retaining his place.

We understand that this will happen in Russia and the only answer to information about Yakunin's monstrous corruption will be: it is a provocation in response to our work of effective managers.

Yakunin is Putin's closest corrupt official and nothing will happen to him.

But it will be a small reward for us if you help spread this information. I'd like all those 7,000,000 people who bought a ticket through the UFS and 800,000 people who downloaded the mobile application to find out why their ticket is 600 rubles more expensive than it should be and who gets those 600 rubles.

We are not asking much of you. Simply, if you bought a train ticket through one of these systems, then give a link to this investigation, adding something from yourself that people usually add when 600 rubles are illegally taken away from them. Just remember that now obscene language is prohibited on the Internet.

The Anti-Corruption Fund continues to demand from President Putin and Prime Minister Medvedev Yakunin's resignation and a public criminal investigation into his family's corruption.

P.s .: Thank you for the excellent work of the FBK investigation department, which has shown itself to be good monsters.

Update: Based on the comments received from our readers, we clarify that there is one unofficial application for both iPhone and Android, working through the Russian Railways website and allowing you to buy tickets without the UFS commission

Sorry to contact you, but I remind you that the Anti-Corruption Foundation is a non-profit organization,
