Duma sniper

If the St. Petersburg murder cannot be blamed on Kumarin, it remains unsolved



The FSB begins to talk about its high-profile disclosures at the weekend, apparently so that no one reads such nonsense at the dacha and on vacation. On April 31, it was announced that the murder of 26-year-old vice-governor of St. Petersburg Mikhail Manevich, who was a friend of Putin, Chubais, etc., had been solved. He was shot from a Kalashnikov assault rifle by a sniper in 1997. They blamed, of course, the former "night governor" Peter Vladimir Barsukov (Kumarin). Like, he personally gave the killer a machine gun with a sniper scope. According to the VChK-OGPU channel, everyone knows that the head of the Tambov organized criminal group may not even dream of freedom. He is Putin's personal prisoner, who knows all the innermost secrets of the Kremlin elite: contract killings, money laundering schemes, relationships with people, something that can undermine the authority within the country, Barsukov-Kumarin will be in prison for as long as his life will last.



Another acquaintance of Putin and the Kremlin elders, Ilya Traber (Antiquarian), was involved in the murder of Manevich. He was a friend of Manevich, but then Traber was sent to capture one of the most tasty morsels of St. Petersburg - the Sea Port (MP). Aleksey Miller, Alexander Dyukov and other members of the team of a friendly St. Petersburg team, close to the city hall, were delegated there for these purposes.

When a large team of St. Petersburg officials moved to Moscow, Manevich should have been among them, but before leaving, he decided to sign an order that would return the port to the state and prevent Traber and those who were close to him from learning full control over the MP. The corresponding instruction was given to Manevich by his friend Chubais, whom he could not disobey. Traber dissuaded Manevich from this step, warning that then he would not be able to help him in any way. There are forces that Traber cannot disobey. But everything was useless. Added to this was the fact that Traber was in love with Manevich's wife Marina. As a result, literally a day before the planned signing of the order, Manevich was shot dead.

After the assassination of Manevich, the situation with the MP did not develop in favor of the state. On November 18, 1997, an extraordinary meeting of shareholders was held, which decided to transfer the management of the port to CJSC OBIP, controlled by Traber. As the Accounts Chamber later established, after that the MP began to be pulled apart "to pieces." And only then one of the "pieces" went to Kumarin. But in general, the port was run by Traber and his friends.

Rucriminal.info wants to talk about other high-profile St. Petersburg murders committed by snipers that have not been disclosed.

In the evening of October 24, 2020, an unidentified person fired a firearm from the opposite bank of the river at 61-year-old Alexander Petrov, who was on the territory of his house near Vyborg in the Leningrad Region. “Currently, investigators, together with employees of operational units, continue to establish the circumstances of the crime, interrogate witnesses, and study the victim’s social circle,” the ICR said after the murder. Sources of Rucriminal.info believed that it was precisely the “circle of contacts” that would not allow solving this crime. And the guess came true. There have been no arrests in the case for three years. If the "contract" murder of the participants in "Gangster Petersburg" and it cannot be "led" to Vladimir Kumarin, then it remains unsolved. As, for example, the "fresh" murder of Badri Shengelia has not yet been solved. In order to uncover these crimes, one must plunge into the dashing 90s, when these now murdered comrades closely communicated with the current inhabitants of many Moscow offices.



For more than a quarter of a century, the murder of the vice-mayor of St. Petersburg, Mikhail Manevich, a man whom Vladimir Putin called a friend and "a terrific guy," has not been solved.

If we talk about people who were related to the port in the 90s, we should not forget about the former vice-governor of St. Petersburg, and now the first deputy chairman of the Committee on Financial Markets of the State Duma, Igor Divinsky. In his youth, by the way, he himself was a professional sniper.

Rucriminal.info tried to restore interesting facts from Divinsky's biography.



Igor Borisovich Divinsky was born in 1957. He's from a military dynasty. He served in the GRU. In 1989, as a deputy commander of a company of the Limited Contingent of Soviet Forces in Afghanistan, he took part in the hostilities on the territory of this country. Got injured. Upon recovery, he was sent to serve in the Western Group of Forces in Germany. At the same time, Yuri Volkov served as the head of physical training there.



Igor Divinsky, having left the army, together with his former colleagues, went into the security business in St. Petersburg. However, rather, his activities resembled the creation of a "roof" of former GRU employees for individual businessmen. In 1994, he was the head of the security company Medi. In the same year, he established and headed the security company "Divo". Its other founders were Andrei Markovsky and Yuri Rydnik (in various times was the chairman of the Board of Directors of BaltONEXIMbank, a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg). At that moment in his life, Rydnik headed the St. Petersburg branch of the Soyuzkontrakt company, the main supplier of legs to Russia. Soyuzkontrakt was closely associated with the Russian Foundation for the Invalids of the War in Afghanistan (RFIVA), which was led by Valery Radchikov, a native of the GRU. These Afghan thugs won huge foreign economic benefits and drove goods to Russia, practically without paying duties.

As for Divinsky's closest partner at that moment, Yuri Rydnik, nowhere in the media can one find some interesting features of his biography. The businessman carefully cleaned up the police databases. However, from the archives of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of St. Petersburg, you can find out that he was involved in the case against a number of employees of the Gatchina traffic police. They had unregistered firearms in their addresses.

Sources suspect that to remain in the case just a witness, Rydnik was helped by the same Divinsky, who had been responsible for his safety for a long time.

As for the OP "Divo", it served only seven objects - a residential building and seven premises of the "Soyuzkontrakt". A different audience worked in the OP, both former GRU fighters and former district police officers. Some of the employees of "Divo" had troubles with law enforcement agencies. They were held accountable either for arbitrariness or for hooliganism.



On August 18, 1997, Vice Governor Mikhail Manevich was shot dead in St. Petersburg. Later, on suspicion of this crime, Yuri Volkov will be arrested. He gave "orders" for the elimination of people to the Chelyshev brothers' group, which included a number of former GRU employees. During interrogations, the Chelyshevs admitted that they even visited the headquarters of the GRU, and some of the "customers" were in the leadership of the Ministry of Defense. After that, this direction of the investigation into the murder of Manevich (it was conducted by the FSB in St. Petersburg) was curtailed. Volkov was taken away from the employees of the Prosecutor General's Office and the RUBOP of Moscow by the FSB and his further fate is unknown. According to some information, some employees of the OP "Divo" "surfaced" in the investigation of the activities of the Chelyshev gang. Further more. According to the main version, Manevich was “ordered” because of the situation with the trading port, which was then controlled by businessman Ilya Traber. And one of Traber's partners in the port at that moment was Rydnik.

Coincidentally or not, exactly ten days after the murder of Manevich, Igor Divinsky resigned as head of "Divo" and headed another OP - "Dome". Its founders were Divinsky himself, the same Rydnik, Yuri Burdo (a former employee of the OP "Divo", later headed the OP "Kupol"), CJSC "Europe-Hotel", Andrey Yezhov (was registered at that moment in the hostel of military unit 71113) . In 1999, Divinsky resigned as head of the Dome and again headed the OP Divo. By this time, together with Boris Gryzlov, he managed to direct the election campaign of Viktor Zubkov, who ran for governor of the Leningrad Region. Gryzlov and Divinsky also became the founders of the St. Petersburg branch of the Unity party, which was later transformed into United Russia.

Divinsky was the founder of Breeze LLC and KUNIG LLC. His partners in this business were Yury Vladimirovich Kobyakov and Nikolay Valentinovich Kosarev. The last former employee of the KGB of the USSR, a former employee of the Ministry of Security, a former employee of the Federal Tax Service, a member of the Federation Council, etc.

Together with the same Kosarev, Divinsky established the Russian Athos Society NGO - the "abode" of Orthodox Chekists. Grigory Poltavchenko (he is the main trustee of the Russian Athos Society), as well as other ex-employees of the KGB and the FSB, are directly related to this ROO.



Goloshchapov Konstantin Veniaminovich, a rather shady person, became another founder of this ROO. Goloshchapov cleaned up the databases. You can find a mention in it only in the archives preserved by employees. It follows from them that in 1995 he was prosecuted, but in 2000 all information about his problems with the law was deleted.

Looking with whom Goloshchapov travels abroad and abroad, you can find that the same Arkady Rotenberg and the son of Grigory Poltavchenko, Alexei, appear there.

An interesting detail. In 1997 Igor Divinsky was the founder of CLUB BOX ARGO SPB. Another founder of the club was Gennady Vetrov, a comedian and Full House participant. Not many people know that Vetrov has a “combat” biography. He served in a special forces battalion (he served at the same time as Divinsky). And at the time when Divinsky served in the Western Group of Forces, Vetrov lived in Germany, where “he worked independently as an artist.

The Holy Fire was not allowed to visit Putin on Easter

Stocks of finance in Croatia, Italy, Germany and warehouses of art objects



The Telegram channel of the Cheka-OGPU became aware of a huge scandal during the Easter service in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. For the first time in history, a divine service with the participation of Vladimir Putin took place without the Holy Fire. The reason is that the fire was delivered by former head of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin and Konstantin Goloshchapov, once close to the president, but they were not allowed into the temple while Putin was there.

Every year, Vladimir Yakunin, as the head of the foundation of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called (and being the head of Russian Railways and leaving his post) flew for the Holy Fire to Jerusalem and delivered it to Moscow. This time Konstantin Goloshchapov joined him as a representative of the Athos Society.



According to the source, Goloshchapov and Yakunin flew on the same plane. In previous years, and even in times of a pandemic, Yakunin delivered fire and distributed it along the procession.

A distinctive feature of the Easter service this year was that Yakunin and Goloshchapov were simply not allowed to attend the service while Vladimir Putin was there. They were not allowed along with the Holy Fire. All attempts to somehow resolve the situation ended with an explanation that they no longer have access to the first person.

They were allowed to enter the Temple only when Putin left the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. And the distribution of the Holy Fire took place after the service.

A source of the Cheka-OGPU said that Konstantin Goloshchapov, who is actively engaged in solving his problems, was primarily counting on meeting with Putin during the Easter service.

Not so long ago, in addition to Vodokanal, searches were also carried out at the capital repair fund of St. Petersburg, where Goloshchapov also has his own interests. As a result, Goloshchapov stayed in Moscow for several days and hung around the thresholds of the powerful.

However, without success. He was clearly given to understand that there would definitely be no direct contacts not only with Putin, but also with other former acquaintances. Only through "mutual acquaintances", including through the Russian Orthodox Church, in particular the church lobby represented by influential rulers. Goloshchapov intends to focus on the patriarch.

As a result, Goloshchapov flew to St. Petersburg to solve problems on the spot and find out new details on the cases (by the way, some of the defendants in the water utility investigation left the pre-trial detention center).

Apparently, he no longer has big illusions, since his daughter-in-law, at Goloshchapov's go-ahead, is now actively selling family property.

A Rucriminal.info source said that Goloshchapov has something to meet a very rich old age outside of Russia. These are huge financial reserves in Croatia, in Italian accounts, not to mention assets in the center of Florence, in Germany, etc.. Remembering the fate of the appearance of these assets, one cannot lose sight of the participation in large-scale theft from the Ministry of Defense with laundering according to the Croatian scheme . A bunch of Burdakova (sister of Andrei Chesnokov, VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info wrote about him repeatedly) with Gilmutdinova (Goloshchapov’s wife) is hard not to see even superficially examining the intersections during the period of embezzlement of budget funds during the construction of landfills in Kazakhstan and military airfields in the Russian Federation. The stolen 8 billion rubles from the Ministry of Defense are waiting for Goloshchapov outside the Russian Federation. And one more piece of art with a big profit (thanks to the "independent" assessment of the "Russian Museum") for millions of dollars. By the way, they also changed in a funny way, in the order of a competition of hypocrites - for example, one of the auctions was between citizens of Bulgaria (Nikolai Bukhantsov) and Croatia (Kostya Goloshchapov), but at the same time super-religious patriots of the Russian Federation.

So far, it turns out that Goloshchapov is trying to be more cunning than his best friend Arkady Rotenberg. The latter's family contributes a lot to the war of their (as they say) "boss" and has long given up on Western assets. And Goloshchapov (who has the nickname Moshchevoz) is still trying to stay on two chairs ..

Another question is how to help if the whole family, including Goloshchapov himself, is not even full citizens of the Russian Federation at all. Here is the dilemma for the "relic carrier" that the relics in the Russian Federation are no longer synonymous with the word untouchability...

Masseur Putin and Faberge eggs

Who owns the coat of arms of the Russian Empire



The Rothschild egg was created in 1902 by the Faberge house for the Ephrussi family. In 1905, Beatrice Ephrussi presented this egg to her younger brother, Baron Eduard Rothschild, as an engagement gift to Germaine Halfen. An egg made of gold, adorned with diamonds and pearls, with a Rode watch and a built-in mechanical cockerel appeared at auction in 2007 at Christie`s and was purchased by Russian collector Alexander Ivanov for $ 18.5 million. Further fate is in the investigation of Rucriminal.info .

A special museum was created. In the first year, the museum had problems with opening, because. a company called Faberge Ltd., registered in the Cayman Islands, behind another Faberge collector Viktor Vekselberg and his partner Brian Gilbertson, has filed a lawsuit against the Faberge Museum in Baden-Baden, claiming that it owns the rights to the Faberge name . However, a German court ruled that the name of a famous historical figure cannot be usurped for commercial use, as it is a public cultural heritage. Then the company Fabergé Museum GmbH, created for the work of the museum, registered the right to use the large and small State Emblem of the Russian Empire.



On May 9, 2009, the museum opened and opened its doors to visitors. More than a thousand guests gathered at the opening. From the opening of the museum, NTV reported: "The pearl of the museum's collection is the Rothschild egg." It was this fact that led British and German investigators to the museum in 2014. After buying a “Rothschild” egg at Christie’s auction, Alexander Ivanov requested a VAT refund of approximately $810,000. Buyers who take purchases from the UK out of the European Union get this right.



According to Alexander Ivanov himself, in the 80s he was one of the first in the country to trade in computers. In 1993, he began to buy antiques at auctions, which were confiscated by customs. From 1999 to 2004, Alexander Ivanov received income only at the Russian National Museum CJSC (regularly) and at the Moscow Kremlin State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve (one-time). In 2004, he claimed to buy a collection of Faberge eggs and offered $ 135 million for it, but the collection eventually went to Viktor Vekselberg.



Fabergé Museum GmbH, which owns the museum in Baden-Baden, is nominally owned by Baden-Baden resident Sergey Avtonoshkin, who is also a director of the company, according to the German commercial register. But the Fabergé Museum since April 11, 2008 has 2 more directors: Alexander Ivanov and Konstantin Goloshchapov.

According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the partnership of Konstantin Goloshchapov and Alexander Ivanov, two lovers of antiques, began at least in 2003, when they became co-founders of AllianceInvest LLC. Goloshchapov owned 63% of the company, Ivanov - 4%. The company was liquidated in 2007. The only active legal entity owned by Alexander Ivanov together with his wife Yulia Ivanova is ZAO Russian National Museum.



Yulia Valerievna Ivanova is the owner and producer of RusTeleFilm LLC, which makes films commissioned by TK Kultura, films about the philanthropist and Athos monk Innokenty Sibiryakov, as well as Sergius of Radonezh, receiving money from the Ministry of Culture for projects related to the Russian Orthodox Church, including where Goloshchapov's ears stick out.

Goloshchapov has long had awards from the House of Faberge, is also its honorary member, the craving for beauty is not without reason ... there is a financial and political background.

How "Putin's massage therapist" became Moscow's chief gardener

After a trip to Athos in 2016, Sergey Naryshkin began to lead the SVR

There are several landscaping programs currently operating in Moscow. Konstantin Goloshchapov, also known as "Putin's massage therapist", with his company "Zarubezhtsvetmet" participates in the development of funds in the project of the Moscow City Hall "Our Tree". How he does it - in the investigation of Rucriminal.info.

As planned by officials, any family after the birth of a child can plant a personalized tree in parks and forest parks for free.



The second program, in which Goloshchapov's structures and their firm participate, is Million Trees. From 2014 to the present day, Muscovites have been submitting applications for landscaping their yards through the Active Citizen project.

Half of all contracts for landscaping in Moscow are carried out by one company, which belongs to Konstantin Goloshchapov.

Half of the state contracts - and this is more than 10 billion rubles - was won by the Zarubezhtsvetmet company, which is controlled by Konstantin Goloshchapov, "Putin's massage therapist", "Afonets".



At the beginning of its journey in the 2000s, Zarubezhtsvetmet partially re-profiled. To the construction / operation of non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises and the production of special silicate products, the task of “environmental protection” was added. The company even has a special department for environmental projects: since 2011, they have been landscaping Moscow and developing contracts.

Zarubezhtsvetmet has planted more than 70 thousand trees and has mastered more than 160 contracts, 146 of which are government contracts. According to public procurement data, all of them are for landscaping the capital.

Zarubezhtsvetmet is engaged in planting trees in the largest parks, squares, green oases of the capital, for example, Bitsevsky Forest and Pokrovskoye Streshnevo, etc., in addition, Goloshchapov took part in the landscaping of Zaryadye Park

Moreover, most of the contracts for the improvement of these territories are hidden, hidden from access.



Zarubezhtsvetmet gives its contracts to subcontractors. Usually the company attracts City of Dreams LLC to work. Until 2019, the City of Dreams itself periodically won contracts for landscaping, for a total of half a billion rubles. Now the general director of this company, Alexei Korobov, earns through subcontracts. By the way, he had a joint business - the Trofimovsky business center - with the former director of the Directorate of Mospriroda, Andrey Latypov (he held this position from 2016 to 2019). Korobov acted as the director of Trofimovsky, it is located next to Avtozavodskaya and now belongs to an offshore company in Cyprus, which is affiliated with Goloshchapov

the revenue of JSC ZARUBEZHTSVETMET in 2021 amounted to 1.7 billion rubles. She earns on contracts from Mospriroda, supplies of equipment to Cuba and leasing of offices on Sredny Ovchinnikovsky Lane, 12.



The Russian Athos Society is officially registered at this address. It was founded by Goloshchapov together with the ex-governor of St. Petersburg Poltavchenko in 2005, after the first visit of Vladimir Putin to Athos. This society is considered a "privileged club" of officials: one way or another, almost all influential civil servants under Governor Poltavchenko were included there. Businessmen Rotenbergs and Guryevs, as well as ex-Prosecutor General of Russia Yuri Chaika are connected with the society. After a trip to Athos in 2016, Sergei Naryshkin began to lead the foreign intelligence service. The temples on Athos were donated by Dmitry Medvedev, Patriarch Kirill and the current governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov.



Goloshchapov was friends with the late Patriarch Alexy, under him he oversaw projects, created various societies, and actively promoted the resolution of issues through the lobby of the Russian Orthodox Church, even then he carried out the mission of a peacemaker and resolved issues, remaining in the ranks of the Russian Orthodox Church in fact., in addition, Goloshchapov after leaving from the civil service, from where the head of the administration of affairs, President Kozhin, was removed (against the background of jealousy for influence), he became an adviser on interaction with the Russian Orthodox Church, the plenipotentiary representative of the President Poltavchenko.

Where is Kostya Moshchevoz leading officials?

The secret life of "Putin's massage therapist"

Konstantin Goloshchapov is often referred to as Putin's masseur, and it is believed that thanks to this he has a lot of high-ranking connections. The source of the telegram channel of the Cheka-OGPU told a different version of the appearance of these connections with Goloshchapov, he is Kostya Moshchevoz, Kostya Padre. He is a frequent guest at the celebrations of reputable Petersburgers. Participated in the organization of a huge number of high-profile events. Even then, in the 90s and early 2000s, the talent of the organizer helped him make acquaintances, expand his circle of contacts and resolve issues. Stay in the spotlight and at the same time in the shadows.

Goloshchapov, having connections in the Russian Orthodox Church, helped with the baptism of relatives, with funerals, funerals, etc.



Thus, he became even closer to VIP acquaintances. Thanks to this approach, he managed to intermarry with a number of people. From officials and businessmen, to epaulette holders and leaders of organized crime groups.



The fact that Konstantin Goloshchapov left Russia before the searches in the Vodokanal case is not surprising. He took his family out of the country a long time ago, the Russian Federation and his children left the country. But Goloshchapov himself has literally grown together with St. Petersburg. When Georgy Poltavchenko was governor, Goloshchapov had a special offshore company in order to support the needs of the governor's family, which gave a share to the son of the head of the city, Alexei. Alexey Poltavchenko until July 2021 had a share in the company with Goloshchapov's wife, Iraia Gilmutdinova. A company with a symbolic name - Investbugry, which participated as an investor in the Invest Park project in the Leningrad Region

Goloshchapov is also on good terms with Governor Beglov, he is a person capable of building relationships with almost any person. No wonder for many years Goloshchapov was practically a peacemaker among the elites, pacifying conflicts. Therefore, the presence of Athos connections and business with the ex-governor Poltavchenko did not affect relations with Beglov.

By the way, Beglov is also an Athonite citizen and actively cooperates with the Russian Orthodox Church. Athos society became a forge of personnel, Goloshchapov was able, with the help of the Russian Orthodox Church, to build a project for a personnel reserve and give a springboard to many officials and businessmen, while remaining in the shadows himself.

Goloshchapov for Athos and the projects of the Russian Orthodox Church received money from supervised projects, from restoration and construction to the housing and communal services of St. Petersburg. Scrap metal was also involved, another line of business. By the way, the Russian Athos Society is registered at the address of the metallurgical holding.

With Goloshchapov one could see another influential person, Vadim Zhimirov, who sponsored church churches, bringing relics.

Goloshchapov is well acquainted with the new head of the Liberal Democratic Party, a well-known person in church circles, Slutsky.

Goloshchapov was always near the Patriarch. And next to him are the elites.

Goloshchapov has been making promises to all monks for a long time.

The source of the VChK-OGPU calls it no coincidence that at the same time Konstantin Goloshchapov had troubles with the security forces and his close friend and main conductor of interests in the Russian Orthodox Church, the head of the Department for External Church Relations, Metropolitan Hilarion, was sent into exile.

Goloshchapov, having united officials, business, representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church under the brotherhood of Athos, began to organize all pilgrimage trips for them. On such trips, the necessary contacts were made and issues were resolved. Goloshchapov brought together not only representatives of the Russian Federation and the Russian Orthodox Church, but also foreign entrepreneurs, officials, politicians, as well as representatives of local religions, including influential church leaders of other religions. He pulled Goloshchapov into his projects and the head of the Church Foreign Ministry, Metropolitan Hilarion, with whom he became friends.



A separate topic of Goloshchapov is a project on the relics and veneration of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Indeed, Goloshchapov did a lot for the appearance of relics in Russia. But thanks to this, he established strong personal ties with Italy. So, according to the principle of a pilgrimage hotel, a house was built, or rather a network of houses in Italy for the personal needs of Goloshchapov. Bought local football club "Bari". Goloshchapov helped the people of Athos not only resolve issues in Italy, from shopping to transferring business, withdrawing money. The purchase of real estate in Italy was accompanied by lawyers and notaries associated with Goloshchapov.



Konstantin Goloshchapov left Russia before the searches in the "Vodokanal case", and now he is selling his property. His luxurious apartment (Krestovsky Island, 2nd Birch Alley 13-15) is put up for sale along with the author's icon in the living room.



The house in which Goloshcharov lived is not easy. Among his neighbors are not ordinary people. Daughter of former Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov, ex-wife of ex-Minister of Defense Serdyukov, wife of ex-deputy of the Legislative Assembly Sergei Nikeshin, Rotenberg, Fursenko. The apartment for sale is registered in the name of Goloshchapov's wife, Iray. The cost of apartments in the house is from 250 million rubles. In the courtyard you can see the BMW of Goloshchapov's son.
