The best monument to Chubais

RUSNANO investment director is actively cooperating with the investigation

In May 2023, a photograph was published on the VChK-OGPU telegram channel, in which the former head of the presidential administration, former first deputy prime minister of the Russian government, former head of RAO UES, former head of Rosnano and former adviser to the President of Russia receives a temporary Israeli passport.

It is obvious that the great privatizer decided to finally retire and start arranging his own life outside the Russian Federation.



Such a turn of events only at a superficial glance looks like a spontaneous decision, a deeper dive into the topic shows that Anatoly Borisovich began to prepare alternate airfields a long time ago.

Rucriminal.info will start with Rusnano Israel Ltd, a subsidiary of Rosnano OJSC.

The idea of ​​creating a company arose back in 2009, it was then that Arkady Milman was appointed to the position of adviser to the Russian state corporation Rosnano, whose biography speaks for itself. Judge for yourself A. Milman: in 1989-1990, deputy head of the Israeli diplomatic mission in the USSR; in 1992 - Chargé d'Affaires of the Israeli Embassy in Kazakhstan; in 2003-2005 - Israeli Ambassador to Russia.

No one in Rusnano can say anything about what Rusnano Israel Ltd did, however, such “investments” in Israel were given in 2023, when A.B. Chubais urgently needed an Israeli passport.

The second airfield is Rusnano USA (a subsidiary of Rosnano JSC in the USA), headed by ex-employee of RAO UES, former head of the Federal Energy Agency Dmitry Akhanov. Through Rusnano USA, millions of US dollars have been invested in American companies. Today, the United States has become a refuge for Yu. Udaltsov, the author of the RAO UES reform and Anatoly Borisovich's most loyal ally.



The Cheka of the OGPU wrote a lot about Irina Markovna Rappoport, the former head of the Swiss company Rusnano Capital AG, now happily living in sunny Italy. At the stage of the creation of Rusnano Capital AG, its target volume was planned at the level of $1 billion, with such investments Rusnano Capital AG could become the main outpost of Rosnano in Europe. She could, but she didn't. Irina Markovna and her curator at RUSNANO Oleg Kiselev turned out to be good crooks and bad managers. In 2018, the company was liquidated, and RUSNANO wrote off more than 7 billion rubles as a loss.



What did Chubais have left in Russia?



Almost nothing. According to a Rucriminal.info source, the team broke up, and RUSNANO and its projects are in the process of closing.

The brightest member of the Chubais team, the author of wind energy development projects, Alisher Kalanov, has worked at RUSNANO for the longest time.

After Chubais left, he not only retained, but even strengthened his position in the company. Under the new leadership of S. Kulikov, Kalanov was transferred to the management of the block "Legacy - projects". The legacy aroused complex feelings: and, in the end, it was Alisher who initiated the initiation of a number of criminal cases on the old projects of Chubais. Not everything was successful, but the collected materials made it possible in September 2022 to initiate a criminal case on the facts of embezzlement of funds in the project company ELVIS-NeoTech JSC. This company has been the subject of a number of publications on our channel. In September 2022, the investment director of RUSNANO, Nail Gubaev, was arrested in connection with the case.

Dmitry Pimkin, another member of the Board and the hero of our publications, was the direct curator of N. Gubaev and, according to the investigation, carried out the strategic management of criminal schemes. In 2021, D. Pimkin did his best to resist the initiation of a case on episodes related to ELVIS-NeoTech JSC: he courted Kalanov, together with the lawyer of Asnis and Partners R. Kozhura tried to cover his tracks and hide the facts, appealed to O. Kiselev and A. Chubais, but he could not do anything - the case was initiated, and Pimkin himself was seriously worried about his future.

Andrey Trapeznikov is also a former member of the Management Board and press secretary of A.B. Chubais. In winter, a number of high-ranking officials of the executive branch of the Russian Federation received a presentation of the Fund for the Reconstruction of Ukraine under the code name "First Ukrainian". The idea of the fund is simple and not intricate - a management company, under the guidance of trusted specialists, creates a management company that will manage the assets seized from Russia and restore the infrastructure of Ukraine. Getting 2% of $200 billion in assets is much cooler than being involved in the development of nanotechnology in Russia. It is not known who was the first author of the idea, but A. Dvorkovich (former Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Board of Directors of RUSNANO) and A. Trapeznikov (former press secretary of Chubais and member of the board of RUSNANO) acted as its popularizer. Chubais himself is not listed in any form in the presentation; moreover, he reacted without any interest to the idea of creating a fund.

Well, the main brainchild of Chubais - ROS Corporation NANO, as expected, left the news agenda: old, still Chubais investments have no prospects, and there are no new ideas, just as there is no money and no projects. The young director Kulikov of RUSNANO, alas, did not save the company, but on the contrary, by inept management decisions, accelerated the degradation of RUSNANO. Today, the uselessness of RUSNANO as a development institution is obvious to decision makers, and even the most difficult situation in the country will not save it from closing, which is expected by the end of the year.

RUSNANO, liquidated as useless, will become the best monument to Chubais.

“Hiding behind the letters of A. Chubais and A. Dvorkovich”

How a modest investment director of RUSNANO got access to billions



Arrested for embezzlement of RUSNANO funds, Nail Gubaev had a very low position in the Rosnan hierarchy - just an investment director, below him only analysts, above him - managing directors, senior managing directors, members of the board and Chubais. For more than ten years, he oversaw only two, but very large projects: ELVIS-NeoTech JSC and Termointekh LLC, which are now under the close attention of the security forces.

Why did the criminal case against such a completely ordinary swindler cause such a powerful response?

The Telegram channel of the Cheka of the OGPU and Rucriminal.info are trying to evaluate the labor achievements of Nail Gubaev.

Money makes money if it is properly shared - this principle, inherited from a relative of Nail's wife - R. Arashukov, Nail learned very well. The first test of it in practice showed that the scheme works very successfully.

The Cheka of the OGPU described in detail the scheme for the purchase of "non-existent" licenses from the Sensor Design Association (SDA) in the amount of 932 million rubles. for 2011-2017

Having received his share (about 500 million rubles), Nail thought for a long time - how to divide this money? As a result of much thought, he came up with a rule: half should be given to patrons. Nail also compiled a list of his patrons, it included member of the Board Pimkin D. (and through him Kiselev O. and Chubais A), Member of the Board Trapeznikov A. (hereinafter - again Chubais A.), lawyers, auditors and someone else on trifles.



The result of the distribution of money exceeded all expectations: the green light was opened for the financing of Nail's projects! Very soon, the amount of funding provided by RUSNANO to the project of ELVIS-NeoTech JSC increased from 1.0 to 2.0 billion rubles. More than 600 million funds were additionally allocated to Termointekh LLC. Needless to say, the money was again withdrawn, cashed out and distributed to the right people.



According to a Rucriminal.info source, Nail signed himself up as a mega effective manager, which guaranteed him support at the highest level. Chubais A. himself is already helping with the search for clients and formats for financing projects: the project of Termointekh LLC is presented to the head of GAZPROM PJSC, at the highest level Chubais discusses the issues of concluding and paying for contracts between JSC ELVIS-NeoTech and Lukoil. The Board easily and freely decides on the provision of additional funds to Nail's projects.

The withdrawal of a huge amount of money could not but alert the leadership of Rusnano, but the money does its job and very soon the bosses of Nail simply stopped delving into the schemes for withdrawing money. "The less you know the better you sleep". Nail became the full owner of the projects and little was required of him: regularly bring money and competently justify his requests for funding. In return, he received unlimited power in design companies with the right to dismiss and appoint any employees (from ordinary engineers to the general director), approve and coordinate any transactions, and submit any changes to projects for approval by RUSNANO management bodies.



Very soon, Rosnano's ability to finance additional projects will run out, and Nail will make great friends with Andrey Trapeznikov, who was responsible for GR and PR on the Corporation's Board. Unrealistic greed and the desire for big money united Nail and Andrey. As a result, ELVIS-NeoTech JSC gained access to subsidies from the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and large government contracts.

In 2017, Nail, through the relatives of his wife, met V. Brovko, director of special projects at ROSTEKH and husband T. Kandelaki. The acquaintance was superficial and it is unlikely that Vasily Yuryevich (Brovko) himself remembered the young middle manager from RUSNANO, but Nail tried to squeeze the maximum out of the fact of his acquaintance.

Nail Gubaev and Andrey Trapeznikov, under the banner of cooperation between the two state corporations, flaunting their connections and opportunities, tried to gain access to government contracts of RUSNANO project companies. Interested in huge kickbacks, A. Trapeznikov went ahead, hiding behind the letters of A. Chubais and A. Dvorkovich, various government instructions and protocols.

Nail's problems began after Chubais, Pimkin, Kiselev and Trapeznikov left RUSNANO. Very serious problems



Nail began after the senior managing director M. Kuzyuk, who previously worked at ROSTEKH as the head of one of the holdings, joined RUSNANO.

The information was conveyed to the Director General of RUSNANO S. Kulikov and Nail was promptly fired from RUSNANO.

But Nail did not give up, he persuaded S. Kulikov to appoint himself the head of ELVIS-NeoTech JSC.

Once at JSC ELVIS-NeoTech, Nail continued his adventures, but the situation changed: the patrons left, it became simply impossible to steal on a large scale and without looking back. It would seem that Nail needed to soberly assess the situation, stop, but greed often outweighs the sense of self-preservation! Nail begins an active struggle for his right to steal and share with impunity. The effect turned out to be the opposite - long-buried schemes and closed contracts began to crawl out like mushrooms after rain. But now no one is trying to cover for Nail, and the security service is asking more and more questions.

In the summer of 2021, a scheme for theft was revealed during the supply of equipment from Lukoil (Middle East) in 2012-2014. The Cheka of the OGPU wrote in detail about this deal, as a result of which Nail received about 140 million rubles in cash. Nail falls into hysterics and tries to get protection from Chubais. But Anatoly Borisovich is not interested in Nail's problems, Asnis and Partners is given the task to assess the personal risks of the members of the Management Board.

To discuss the situation, Pimkin D. repeatedly flies to Italy, where O. Kiselev currently lives. As a result, A. Asnis receives a task: to stop a big case, leaving one episode in it - a deal with Lukoil and one accused - Nail Gubaev!

In September 2021, Nail leaves ELVIS-NeoTech JSC, a year later, in September 2022, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation initiates a criminal case on the facts of embezzlement of funds from ELVIS-NeoTech JSC, Nail Gubaev is detained and arrested. But has justice prevailed? We will learn this only by evaluating the full composition of the episodes and the defendants in the case.

Guillotine from the head of Rosnano

Chubais ran away, and behind the beautiful facade there was nothing but gigantic debts




On March 24, 2022, the new head of RUSNANO S. Kulikov informed the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation I.V. Krasnov about the results of a comprehensive analysis of the company's financial stability and asked to conduct an audit based on the circumstances set out in the letter.

The problems suddenly raised by S. Kulikov were described in detail in previous publications by the telegram channel of the VChK OGPU and Rucriminal.info. Huge debt load, poor quality of projects, losses are a direct consequence of the financial policy pursued by A.B. Chubais.

So, how did the financial policy of RUSNANO and its executors change?

A.B. Chubais became the second (in a row) head of the company. The first head of Melamed Leonid Borisovich worked as the General Director of the State Corporation "Rosnanotech" for a fairly short period of time - from 2007 to 2008. His tasks were to launch a new project with new people and leave the post after Chubais finished reforming the Russian power industry. It should be noted that Melamed coped with the tasks set: the State Corporation "Rosnanotech" was established, 130 billion rubles of property contribution were received from the state, the company's investment policy was outlined, an investment team of 7 managing directors was formed (people for Melamed are new, absolutely not connected with energy) , employees of supporting departments, including lawyers, financiers, economists, personnel officers, etc., were hired. Melamed invites Svyatoslav Ponurov from the Alemar Bank controlled by him (a professional person, but very gentle, careful and conflict-free).



In July 2008, the reorganization of RAO UES is completed and Anatoly Chubais becomes the General Director of the State Corporation Rosnanotech.

At the end of 2008, Yakov Urinson, former Chubais's deputy for RAO UES, came to the company as deputy general director. Yakov Moiseevich - former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Russia, can and knows how to organize work. Very soon, a whole team of former employees of RAO UES will be formed in RAO UES, who first strengthen and then head the financial, economic, corporate, legal, personnel departments, as well as office work.

It should be noted that at that moment there were 130 billion rubles on the company's account - a huge amount of money! This money "burns hands" and causes an irresistible desire to spend it. That is why the financial policy of A. Chubais assumed an unconditional priority for investment activity. In return, the managing directors were required to carry out projects at any cost. The company sets targets for the development of money - the so-called "shaft plan" and "guillotine", which involves the dismissal of the managing director who has mastered the least amount of money. Any requests from the investment block, from project financing to economic support of activities, had to be satisfied by all divisions of the company in full and as soon as possible. Financial planning and responsibility for results, reporting and control were proclaimed manifestations of bureaucracy that hindered the investment process. The absence of any restrictions and the unconditional support of the first person played a cruel joke on the company: young romantics, who have received unlimited finances and trust, quickly get into the habit and mass development of money begins in all areas: projects (the more the better), expertise, forums, personal business class cars, salaries and business trips - very soon management costs reached 6 billion rubles a year!

Such anarchy horrifies Jacob Urinson. Attempts to somehow regulate financial activities give rise to a tough confrontation within the company: on the one hand, the investment block with Chubais, on the other hand, Urinson and his team, immigrants from RAO UES.



Very soon, S. Ponurov leaves, who was not ready for a tough confrontation, and Andrey Gorkov, the former general director of the Stavropol State District Power Plant, comes in his place - a tough, systematic, hard-working person with a good production background. Systematic work begins on the introduction of a system of planning and budgeting, financial control, and cost reduction in the company.

However, the tough clinch of the financial and investment blocks ends with the personal defeat of Yakov Urinson - the financial block is no longer subordinate to him and Oleg Kiselev, who was previously responsible for the company's business strategy and has fantastic diplomatic skills, becomes the new curator of Rosnano's financial activities.

Rucriminal.info wrote a lot about Oleg Kiselev: student, researcher at MISiS, deputy director of the Institute of Chemical Physics of the USSR Academy of Sciences, founder of the Alfa-Photo cooperative, on the basis of which Alfa-Bank was later born, founder of IMPEXBANK, chairman of the board of directors CJSC "Sixth Channel" (TVS), etc. In 2004, the interests of O.V. Kiselev intersected with the interests of A. Usmanov, which resulted in a criminal case of fraud and Kiselev's departure to London. The case ended happily for Kiselyov, but his two accomplices received suspended sentences, and three more received a colony-settlement. Life itself taught O. Kiselyov based diplomacy and the ability to solve problems avoiding direct conflicts.

Oleg Kiselev very quickly plunges into the problems of financial and economic activity and .... continues the work begun by Urinson. Even A. Gorkov, despite the ultimatums of managing directors to Chubais, remains in his position. Of course, the confrontation in the company became less severe: Kiselev, on the one hand, agreed with the financial policy imposed by Chubais, fixing the priorities of investment activities, but, on the other hand, continued to formalize and regulate project activities, introduced mechanisms for an objective assessment of the effectiveness of projects.

By 2011, a system for modeling investment activity had been formed in Rosnano, now the promises of investment managing directors were digitized and turned into concrete plans. And then it turned out that all the early promises made by the investment block began to melt away sharply: to be greatly reduced in size, or to be postponed to a later period. In the 2012 report, there are objective assessments of the company's investment activities, managing directors responsible for projects, and the conclusion that the company, starting in 2014, will not be able to afford to borrow new funds without a fundamental restructuring of the company's investment activities.

The most important conclusion! Once again: Starting in 2014, Rusnano will not be able to afford to borrow new funds without a fundamental overhaul of the company's investment activities.



As a source told Rucriminal.info, the era of romanticism finally ends in May 2013 after the release of the audit report of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation. The act was devastating, especially in terms of evaluating the company's project activities. The conclusions of the work of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation were sent to all law enforcement agencies, including the Prosecutor’s Office, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, the Investigative Committee, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, etc. The audit of the Accounts Chamber radically changes the company: the bureaucracy, which they fought so hard for all previous years, is flourishing: "the more paper, the cleaner w ... but" - the most popular saying in Rosnano at this time. The board is literally running from any responsibility and employees are sensitive to the mood in the company.

At the same time, the political situation in the country is changing, Chubais's administrative weight is falling, and his ability to attract budget funds to the company is declining. As a result, the amount of funds in the company's accounts and the ability to finance new projects are drastically reduced. Other development institutions are actively developing, such as RDIF, Skolkovo, and new mechanisms to support innovation are being launched.

Chubais and Rosnano are becoming less and less interesting both for the state and for the business elite.

According to the new strategy developed by Bain & Company, since 2014 Rusnano has stopped investing in production projects directly, giving priority to funding funds, old projects (they will now be called the Legacy portfolio) are subject to gradual write-off. The corporate management structure of the company is changing: OOO Management Company Rosnano is being established, which is transferred to the functions of the General Director of JSC RUSNANO.

None of the goals declared by the new strategy will be achieved: the funds created in the period from 2014 to 2019 at the expense of Rosnano will not receive investments from large private investors and will not launch a single more or less significant project. At the same time, the transparency of spending the state-owned company's funds will significantly decrease, as well as the responsibility of the members of the board of Rusnano for the investment decisions made.

The financial model of the corporation assumed three sources of financing for the corporation's activities: property contributions (the same 130 billion rubles); borrowed funds attracted under state guarantees of the state (credits and bonds); income from projects (the so-called Legacy portfolio). Moreover, the volume of income from projects since 2013 should have provided servicing of loans and borrowings.

In the absence of income from project activities and new injections from the state, A. Chubais formulates a new, “ambitious” task for the financial block to replace the failures in project revenues by attracting new borrowed funds. Solving problems that violate financial and economic laws was not part of the plans of Oleg Kiselev and Andrey Gorkov. In 2013, Oleg Kiselev will move to the position of head of the investment division, and Gorkov will leave with him.

Responsible for finances in the company from now on will be already familiar from previous publications of the Cheka OGPU Member of the Board Boris Podolsky and CFO Oleg Evseenkov.

Boris Podolsky will come to the company from his position General Director of CTC Media, his work experience includes work in the audit company Ernst & Young and OJSC MTS. Oleg Evseenkov also has extensive experience, including in the economic department of RAO UES of Russia, in the positions of Deputy General Director for Economics and Finance of OAO RAO Energy Systems of the East, Minister of Industry, Innovation and Information Technologies of the Ryazan Region. In less than a year, Evseenkov will honestly assess personal risks and leave the company. Artur Galstyan, former financial director of the MENATEP-IMPEX concern, the MDM group and the EuroChem concern, the investment company A1 (Alfa Group) will become the new financial director.

From this moment, the financial direction in the company becomes the key one, all members of the board and all deputies of the chairman of the board of Rusnano will be included in the issues of raising funds. Through the efforts of Anatoly Chubais, Boris Podolsky, Artur Galstyan and Andrey Trapeznikov, a beautiful picture of the most innovative company in Russia will be painted, the rules for providing state guarantees and accounting policies will change. The goal is to raise as much money as possible.

At the same time, the privatization of OOO UK Rosnano is being prepared, which, according to Chubais, should be bought out by members of the board.

Members of the board consider the issue of privatization of the management company already resolved. In 2015, the issues of managing a private management company are fixed by the Partnership Agreement, after which the members of the board begin to call themselves Partners, and the board of Rosnano turns from a working body into an elite club. Elitism cost huge money, which was spent on offices, vehicles, salaries and bonuses, the maintenance of personal lawyers, etc.

About all this, as well as about how the President of Russia stopped the privatization of the management company, the Cheka of the OGPU wrote in detail in his early publications.

Chubais left (or rather ran away), and behind the beautiful facade there was nothing but gigantic debts, for which the state and gullible bondholders will pay.

Conductor offshore Chubais

How Gedalia Vakser created a fund of funds for the ex-head of RUSNANO





In 2009, a short, middle-aged man appeared in the office of Rosnanotech, who took a very modest position - director of the business strategy department. It was Kiselev Oleg Vladimirovich (aka Gedalia Vaxer), a citizen of several states at once, including Israel, Great Britain. It seemed that he was destined to get lost against the backdrop of powerful and longtime associates of Chubais, such as Yakov Urinson, Leonid Melamed, Andrey Rappoport or Andrey Trapeznikov. But everything turned out differently. Just a little time will pass and in the State Corporation "Rosnanotech" (after the reorganization of JSC "RUSNANO") there will be no Urinson, no Melamed, no Rappoport, and Trapeznikov will be under the deep influence of a business strategist. To understand why this happened, Rucriminal.info carefully studied Kiselev's biography.

Student and researcher at MISiS, deputy director of the Institute of Chemical Physics of the USSR Academy of Sciences, founder of the Alfa-Photo cooperative, on the basis of which Alfa-Bank was subsequently born, founder of IMPEXBANK, chairman of the board of directors of CJSC Channel Six (TVS), etc. d. In 2004, the interests of O.V. Kiselev intersected with the interests of A. Usmanov, which resulted in a criminal case of fraud and Kiselev's departure to London. By the way, the interests of O. Kiselev were defended by the lawyer A. Asnis. The case ended happily for Kiselyov, but his two accomplices received suspended sentences, and three more received a colony-settlement. It was an experience, an experience that later came in very handy in Rusnano.

The first idea with which Oleg Kiselev came to Chubais was the idea of ​​creating a fund of funds. Chubais liked the idea, and in 2009 the Rosnano-Capital Nanotechnology Innovation Fund was created, which is registered in the UK. Rusnano AG financial fund has been registered in Switzerland. Kiselev called his close friend Irina Rapoport to manage the fund. As a result, 13.5 billion rubles went to Luxembourg, Switzerland, and also to the American bank JP Morgan, where Chubais himself is a member of the Board. According to the conclusion of the auditors of the Accounting Chamber, the funds were spent inappropriately. By the way, there is not a single project that would be implemented by this fund.

According to a Rucriminal.info source, Chubais appreciated Kiselev, his functionality and influence in the company gradually grew, very soon O. Kiselev begins to oversee the financial block of the company and informally all transfers to foreign jurisdictions.

And there were a lot of them in Rusnano:

For example, the project of V. Vekselberg with the Swiss company Oerlikon. The total budget is more than 20 billion rubles.

Or buying some offshore companies from M. Prokhorov and creating a company for the production of LEDs "Optogan".

Or "Plastic Logic", which is an octopus from a bunch of offshore companies, into which 5.7 billion rubles were pumped.

Or CJSC "Elvis Neo Tech" with a budget of about 2 billion rubles, almost in full withdrawn to the accounts of American companies.

Or Sherigo Resources Limited, where 4.5 billion rubles were transferred.

And under Kiselev’s control were “small” consulting contracts (for example, 3.2 million US dollars with Axioma Management), banks Smolensky, Peresvet, where Andrei Trapeznikov liked to drain PR budget, Skolkovo-Nanotech, the giant Troika Dialog laundry And so on and so forth.

Everything was done, supervised and covered up in good conscience, because there are still no criminal cases, Oleg Vladimirovich's "ears" are securely hidden. He himself, along with Irina Rapoport, is enjoying himself in a villa in Italy.

Do you now understand why Kiselev turned out to be almost the only one of his comrades-in-arms, did Anatoly Chubais communicate most of all before his flight abroad?

How Anatoly Chubais sold Chinese bullshit, like Russian know-how

“4K spherical cameras with a 360-degree view” for 3.5 billion rubles turned out to be consumer goods from Aliexpress



The Moscow Arbitration Court received an Application from the MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY AND TRADE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION (Case No. А40-283602/2021) on the recovery of 199,873.4 thousand rubles from the RUSNANO project company JSC ELVIS NEO TECH.

This story was described in detail by the telegram channel of the VChK OGPU in August-September 2021. Then RUSNANO was already ready to initiate a criminal case against the former heads of the state corporation Oleg Kiselev, Dmitry Pimkin and the shareholder of ELVIS NEO TEK JSC, but still, the Asnis and Partners law office did not receive more than two hundred million a year under Anatoly Chubais for nothing. The case was wrapped up, the facts were rigged, and the new head of RUSNANO Kulikov was convinced. Rucriminal.info tells the details.



In 2016, ELVIS-NeoTech JSC, in accordance with the Subsidy Agreement No. 16411.1930168580.11.023 dated October 17, 2016, concluded with the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, undertook to implement a comprehensive project "Development and organization of mass production of a spherical video camera for recording, broadcasting and publishing video images in 4K format with a 360 view. The effectiveness of the project implementation should be assessed through the volume of production and sale of import-substituting and innovative products created during the implementation of the project, which should be at least 130.8 million rubles.

Money from the state in the amount of 300 million rubles. were received and very quickly cut and eaten. The very “spherical video camera for recording, broadcasting and publishing video in 4K format with a 360 view” was never created or even tried to be created. For reporting, we bought a couple of dozen Chinese cameras, dismantled, assembled, re-glued the labels and wrote many sheets of “fake” technical documentation.

As for sales of 130.8 million rubles, they decided not to strain too much here either: somewhere in the garbage he found the company GCC EM LLC and shipped to it “on paper” products immediately as much as 143 million rubles.

It seemed that this time everything went well for ELVIS-NeoTech JSC: the products were sold, technical reports were written, and reports were submitted to the ministry.

The specialists of the ministry did not like the report, and the question immediately arose about paying for the shipped products - it turned out that out of 143 million rubles. of shipped products, only a little more than 6 million rubles were paid. (It was possible to show large volumes only by a technical run of money through the accounts, which is not easy and, most importantly, very costly). And then there's also the company LLC "GCM" successfully liquidated, because the garbage heaps do not last long.

According to a Rucriminal.info source, the situation for ELVIS-NeoTech JSC became catastrophic - everything went to the return of the subsidy and the payment of a fine, but such a turn of events was not included in the plans of innovators from Rosnano JSC, because the money from the subsidy had long been outside the company.

The second round of “scheme creation” has begun: within the framework of a large state project, ELVIS-NeoTech JSC supplied 30 thousand video cameras to 5.5 thousand schools across the country. True, the cameras were quite ordinary, made in China: not spherical, not 4K, and without a 360-degree view, but who's to stop wishful thinking? According to the new legend, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation was offered to count the entire proceeds of ELVIS-NeoTech JSC from the sale of video cameras to schools in the amount of 237 million rubles into the subsidy report.

But the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation again saw through the scam and did not recognize the proceeds from the sale of video cameras to schools as a report on subsidies.

Today, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia is taking the right and logical step by demanding the return of funds to the budget of the Russian Federation.



And what about the new management of RUSNANO?

The beginning was promising: an audit of the activities of ELVIS-NeoTech JSC, a change in leadership, analytics for the security service.

By the way, during the audit, a fraudulent scheme for the withdrawal of funds and intellectual property was identified and described (we are talking about a 40 nm VIP1 chip chip, which is of strategic importance for sensitive industries) in the amount of about 2 billion rubles (the corpus delicti under Part 1 of Art. 2 article 147, part 4 article 159.6, part 4 article 160, parts 2 and 3 article 189 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). At the same time, all documentation, all technologies and materials were transferred to the foreign company SDA, which was under the control of the RUSNANO project participants.

Already from the American company SDA, the chip goes to the private company NPC ELVIS (it is not by chance that the participants in the scheme use similar names!), And from there the “clone” of the 40 nm VIP1 chip is resold to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia now by order of the Ministry of Defense. The money of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, again, safely leaves the Russian Federation. There is illegal export not only in the civil but also in the military sphere.

By the end of 2014, the 40 nm VIP1 microprocessor had already been "worked out" by a group of people and "similar" prerequisites were created for a similar "working out" of VIP2 (ELISE/Capri). Under this “so-called. development” RUSNANO increased the project budget and allocated new, additional funding.

According to the source of Rucriminal.info, the “result” of the development of 3.5 billion rubles can be seen by visiting the plant of JSC Elvis NeoTek in the capital of Russian and Soviet microelectronics, the city of Zelenograd. You will not find any production here at all, there is nothing but beautiful, leased office space.



But on the other hand, you can all follow the travels of the former project manager Elvis Neo Tek from RUSNANO (Dmitry Pimkin) on the instagram of his wife, Olga Pankratova, and the Cheka OGPU also wrote about this recently. And on Instagram you can also find a photo of Olya’s dad (Dima Pimkin’s wife. This is the lawyer Pankratov Vladimir Vasilyevich, who works closely with Asnis and Partners, receiving part of the RUSNANO remuneration.

Do you understand everything now?

Where RUSNANO is, there is always "mutual responsibility" and large-scale theft.

RUSNANO partners and a luxury villa await "Our Gretta" in Italy

How Anatoly Chubais pulled himself and three friends out of the criminal case



In 2020, TASS announced that the Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR) had terminated the criminal case against the former general director of Rusnano Leonid Melamed and ex-financial director of the company Svyatoslav Ponurov due to the expiration of the statute of limitations "on non-rehabilitating grounds." They were held in the case of embezzlement of more than 220 million rubles. (part 4 of article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Lawyer Alexander Asnis, who represented the interests of the Rusnano corporation in the criminal case of its former head Leonid Melamed, said then that he could not confirm or deny the information about the termination of the criminal case.



Sources of Rucriminal.info and the VChK-OGPU telegram channel said that the TASS information did not correspond to reality. The case has not been closed; formally, an investigation is still underway. The lawyers did indeed have the opportunity to close it on non-rehabilitating grounds. But there was a serious problem. At the very beginning of the investigation, Leonid Melamed, out of fright, transferred over 200 million rubles to a deposit account to cover the damage. And if the case on the "non-rehabilitating" is closed, he will simply lose them. And Malamed hopes to get by with "little blood", to get the case closed "for lack of composition" and return his $ 200 million.

Our source told about: what led to the initiation of the case; what was the alignment of forces then and what it is now in the immediate circle of Anatoly Chubais; where a luxurious villa awaits him and who will be his neighbors; how a banker, a former top manager of Smolensk Bank, Mikhail Yakhontov, who was killed with his family last week, would be connected with a criminal history with RUSNANO.

According to the interlocutor of Rucriminal.info, Melamed L.B. and Urinson Ya.M. they have always been rivals, both during the times of RAO UES of Russia and during the times of State Corporation Rosnanotech.

Urinson Ya.M. - a real professor and the most devoted person of Chubais A.B.

Melamed L.B. - a tough businessman, between friendship and money always chooses money, but it is for this that Chubais especially appreciates him.

In 2008, Urinson closed RAO UES of Russia, and Melamed warmed up a place in RUSNANO.

Melamed did a lot to establish RUSNANO - he assembled a completely new, non-energy-related team of investment managers, in fact, he launched the project.

It should be remembered that Alemar was always behind Melamed (this is both a bank and an investment group). Therefore, Melamed built the management of RUSNANO with an eye to future departure to Alemar:

Firstly, Svyatoslav Ponurov, a native of Alemar, became RUSNANO's financial director, and secondly Alemar became both an investment and financial advisor to RUSNANO.

The result of consulting in the investment field was a criminal case against Malyshev (currently on the international wanted list, former deputy chairman of the board of RUSNANO) -Ponurov-Melamed.

It is worth talking about financial consulting in more detail.

According to a source of Rucriminal.info, RUSNANO of 2009: Urinson and Melamed. The first has just arrived, the second has already left, but he has prepared everything for his future life in private business. Alemar, as conceived by Melamed and his right hand Zhurba, was to become the backbone bank of RUSNANO - for this, the entire regulatory framework was created and written for him. Requirements for banks providing banking services to project companies and RUSNANO were written directly under Alemar and were very different from the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated February 28, 2008 No. 127 - the bank needed to have a credit rating from Russian rating agencies: such as RusRating or Expert RA.

Pumping Alemar with RUSNANO's money and quickly selling - this was the task for Melamed, Zhurba and Ponurov.

But the unexpected happened - Ponurov quickly saw through the plans and was in no hurry to implement them. In fact, he ignored the hints of his patron, for which he later paid the price (despite Ponurov's innocence), the lawyers of Rosnanotech did not defend him.



Urinson treated Medamed with great jealousy, being an experienced person - he understood the risks associated with doing business in the name of Melamed.

As a result, with the arrival of Urinson, Alemar's business at RUSNANO began to wither, Melamed's bank was purposefully squeezed out from everywhere.

Melamed complained to Chubais, but he was in no hurry to conflict with Urinson, moreover, the conflict between his two comrades-in-arms was not to his liking.

And at that moment the third center of power was born - Oleg Kiselev. He was Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of JSC Rusnano, and a member of the Management Board of the Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs. Since February 2014, he held the post of Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Rusnano Management Company, Head of Investment Division K and member of the Management Board of the Management Company.



Kiselev, never openly conflicted with anyone, he arranged all conflicts with someone else's hands.

Realizing that the banking business will not benefit RUSNANO, Melamed changes his tactics: he tries to change Ponurov and strongly intrigues against Urinson. Kiselev became Melamed's tactical ally.

In 2009 - 2010 Zhurba, on behalf of Melamed, enters into negotiations with the Bank of Smolensk. Subject – about very simple: we introduce you to RUSNANO, pump you up with money, and you buy Alemar, and there we will be counted. The negotiations on behalf of the Smolensk Bank were led by Yakhontov, who was killed in October this year. Further, Rosnanotech concludes an agreement with the Bank of Smolensk, while the decision on the conclusion was made at the highest top!

Ponurov "leave" financial directors, which seems to be a victory for Melamed. But Gorkov, Urinson's man, becomes the new CFO.

Draw and conflict smolder. Moreover, the business of Smolensk Bank is not supported by Urinson, and none of the project companies have switched over to him for servicing.

Chubais shows displeasure - he tries to remove Gorkov, but Urinson firmly defends him.

In 2010, the conflict is resolved very simply - the supervision of finance from Urinson is transferred to Kiselev, and the management of the Investment Commission is also transferred from Melamed to Kiselev.

Melamed was kept under house arrest from 2015 to 2018, Ponurov was taken into custody (and subsequently also transferred to house arrest), another accused - Melamed's deputy Andrei Malyshev - left for the UK and was put on the wanted list.



The investigation believed that shortly after its foundation in 2008, Rusnano, under the leadership of Melamed, decided to attract an investment consultant to select the most promising projects for financing. As a consultant on the results of the tender, they hired the Alemar corporation, which, according to the TFR, was controlled by Melamed himself. The budget allocated 220 million rubles for Alemar's services, which, according to the investigation, were actually withdrawn in favor of Melamed.

In 2017, the investigation of the case was completed, but Deputy Prosecutor General Viktor Grin refused to approve the indictment, explaining this by “gross violations of the provisions of the criminal procedure legislation”. The head of the supervisory department, Yuri Chaika, canceled this decision on the same day, and the case was sent to court.

At one of the court sessions, the current chairman of the board of Rusnano, Anatoly Chubais, was interrogated, who stood up for Melamed. Chubais said that the decision to attract an investment consultant was made not by Melamed, but by himself when he replaced Melamed in his post. The terms of the tender were "completely transparent, legal and fair," and Alemar's victory was fair, said the head of Rusnano. Melamed was vice president of Alemar (while he did not have a stake in the company), and the management of Rusnano drew attention to a possible conflict of interest, but after discussion, the board members came to the conclusion that the deal was correct, Chubais said. According to him, the contract with Alemar did not lead to the waste of Rusnano's budget funds and, moreover, helped the state corporation save about 10 billion rubles. and earn a substantial amount thanks to the careful selection of projects for financing.

Soon after Chubais's speech at the end of 2017, the court decided to return the case to the prosecutor's office to eliminate violations, Melamed and Ponurov were released.











Imagine the situation in which lawyer Alexander Asnis finds himself - a friend of both Urinson, Kiselev and Melamed.

Having almost 200 million from Rusnano a year and unlimited administrative resources, flirting with the investigation, he managed to get all three and Anatoly Chubais himself out of the blow.

As a source told Rucriminal.info, the tactics are very simple:

1. At the first stage, the lawyers, with the help of Chubais, offer the defendants in the case to leave - on a business trip or for treatment or somewhere else, such as sit and rest.

Such a situation is promoted as the fact that Chubais does not give up his own people, protects, “we are one team, and so on.

2. In fact, it is a trap. In the eyes of the investigation, the person who left is definitely guilty.

So Zhurba and Malyshev left and did not return.

They left and in spite of everything returned - Gorkov and Ponurov

3. Protection closely guards all participants in the process, creating the illusion of protection. In fact, lawyers are only defending Chubais and the top three.

As a result, Melamed's terms in the criminal case have expired, while Malyshev and Zhurba's terms have not yet begun, since they are on the wanted list.

By the way, Asnis is still conducting this case under a contract with Rusnano.

They say that this was an important agreement between Kulikov * (the current head of RUSNANO) and Chubais, with the approval of Shuvalov.

Previously, Chubais actively helped the defendants in the case who had left Russia, and Kiselev dealt with this issue at Rusnano. But after Chubais left Rusnano, aid stopped, Anatoly Borisovich pretends that he owes nothing to anyone now

And Kiselev and Irina Rapoport (ex-head of Rusnano Capital) left for Italy - there are three villas, one is waiting for the Russian Gretta (as Chubais is jokingly called in his inner circle because of his current activities - he deals with climate change issues).
