Over the past year, the number of dollar millionaires in Russia increased by 4%, reaching a record 189.5 thousand people. This is more than, for example, in Saudi Arabia or Canada. Most of them live, of course, in the capital and other megacities, however, Sevastopol also boasts of its millionaires, if not dollar, then ruble for sure.

In 2016, he became the head of the Investment Development Agency of the Udmurt Republic. Then he was appointed vice-governor of Sevastopol.

Alexey Chaly

Almost all deputies of the legislative assembly earn at least one million rubles a year. The leader of the list of millionaire deputies is the ex-speaker of parliament, formerly one of the leaders of the Crimean Spring and the founder of Tavrida Electric Aleksey Chaly. In 2017, he earned 11 million rubles. At the same time, over the year, his income decreased almost six times - in 2016, the deputy declared 61 million, and in 2015 - 94 million rubles.

Chaly began working while studying at the Sevastopol Instrument-Making Institute in a university laboratory. It was she who later became the basis for the creation of the research and production enterprise "Tavrida Electric" - today one of the world's largest manufacturers of vacuum switching equipment. A few years later, Tavrida Electric turned into an industrial group, later uniting more than 70 companies. Branches of the company are opened in 50 cities of Russia, as well as in Beijing, Tallinn, Vancouver and Johannesburg. Tavrida's products are bought in 70 countries. The value of assets for 2016 was 3.3 billion rubles. According to conservative estimates, the group's revenue in 2012 exceeded USD 300 million.

Chaly left the post of technical and general director of Tavrida Electric in 2014. Today Chalom owns 60% of the authorized capital of the company. He is also the CEO of Smart Electric Networks LLC. He owns a house with an area of ​​111.1 square meters and a plot of 1,822 square meters, as well as an apartment with an area of ​​111.4 square meters in use. His wife's income in 2017 was 20.8 million rubles. In 2016, she earned 25 million rubles.

So, let's see who earned and how much.

Valery Aksenov holds the position of Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Construction and Housing and Utilities of the State Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan. His declaration is generally unremarkable. With the income that grew this year, the family was able to purchase a Skoda Rapid car and a plot of land of 500 sq. m.

Vitaly Bobkov, head of the committee on education, science, youth policy and sports, earned much less this year than last year: 1,350,000 rubles against 2,623,000 rubles. But Vitaly was rescued by his spouse, who earned 1 million 837 thousand rubles in 2015. Her income for 2014 was more than modest - 90 thousand.

A similar situation developed in the family of Leonid Babashov, chairman of the committee for construction and housing and communal services. His income more than quadrupled - from 435 thousand to 1.8 million rubles. At the same time, the wife's income grew 1000 times over the year: in 2014 she was able to earn only 4 thousand rubles, and in 2015 - more than 4 million.

Sergey Borodkin's business, as they say, is overwhelmed. For the entire last year, the deputy earned a beggarly 10 thousand rubles. At the same time, he owned two land plots, a small residential building, five apartments of various sizes (two of which are in Ukraine) and two BMW cars. In 2015, income grew 1000 times: Borodkin declared 10 million rubles of income, got rid of both Ukrainian apartments, but acquired one - the same area - in the Russian Federation. And, without changing his tastes, he bought a brand new BMW car.

Deputy Valery Grinevich is engaged in business in the field of agricultural production. His income has also grown this year. He earned 3 million rubles against 700 thousand in 2014, possibly by selling some of his property.

Evgeny Kabanov, director of Interstroy, which conducts construction throughout the Crimea, earned 4 million 877 thousand rubles in 2015. His wife - 184 thousand rubles. The family, in addition to the already owned Lexus and Audi A8, got hold of a domestic "six" and several trucks. And instead of one office, my wife got another apartment and five non-residential premises.

His friend and director of the Yalta "Interstroy" Igor Demin is content with a much more modest salary in the subsidiary. In 2014, he earned 128 thousand rubles, in 2015 - 260 thousand rubles. But Demin's wife declared a very impressive income last year - 77 million rubles. This is more than that of the richest State Councilor. This year, the family's wealth fell sharply - the spouse was able to bring only 159 thousand to the house. But this did not stop me from buying 3 apartments, 2 land plots, a residential building with an area of ​​more than 400 sq. m, a BMW 740Li car and a jet ski.

Petr Zaitsev also lives relatively modestly. As chairman of the board of PJSC Krymgazstroy, he earned 1 million 183 thousand rubles in 2015 - almost 200 thousand less than in 2014. But the decline in income did not prevent him from acquiring 4 land plots and 3 residential buildings of various sizes.

Remzi Ilyasov earned 2.5 million rubles in 2015, brought another 957 thousand to his husband's house. With the money earned, the family bought a residential building with an area of ​​114 sq. m and was finally able to change the domestic "nine" and Skoda Octavia for more cars corresponding to the status: Audi A6 and Lexus RX350.

The Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan Vladimir Konstantinov took the honorable fifth place in the ranking of the wealthiest deputies this year. He earned 6 million more this year than last. His income amounted to more than 9 million rubles. In addition to the apartment, Konstantinov owns five non-residential premises, one of which is almost 6 thousand square meters. m. The chairman of the RK has four foreign cars and one trailer.

Deputy Ivan Lutsenko earned ten times more in 2015 - 25.5 million rubles. The commercial director of the private enterprise "Chernomor-plus" owns 8 land plots, three residential buildings and five non-residential premises. This year Lutsenko swapped his Mercedes GL 350 for a BMW X5.

Frunze Mardoyan is the richest deputy of the State Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan at the end of 2015. The president of the company FM Corporation LLC earned 41 million rubles last year. And he bought a retro car GAZ-14 "Chaika". Mardoyan owns a shopping complex of 32 thousand square meters. m, two land plots, one residential building and two non-residential buildings, as well as three personal cars and three units of industrial equipment - very modest for such income.

The income of Evgeny Mikhailov, who holds the post of chairman of the branch of the National Olympic Committee in the Republic of Kazakhstan, has grown. In 2015, he earned 7.2 million rubles against 3.9 in 2014. His wife contributed another 2.8 million rubles to the family budget. The family of the chairman of the weightlifting federation owns three land plots, three summer cottages, three apartments and four garages, as well as six cars, a motorcycle, jet skis and a boat for sea trips.

Vice-rector KFU named after Vernadsky Sergey Fedorkin earned 4.7 million rubles in 2015 (in 2014 - only 2.3 million). His wife's salary is very modest - almost 99 thousand.

Alexei Chernyak, the chairman of the committee for the sanatorium-resort complex and tourism, is paid a little: in 2015 he earned 1.4 million rubles, and in 2014 - only 800 thousand. But the spouse "turned around" - her income amounted to 5.3 million rubles (in 2014 - 3.5 million). With her honestly earned money, my wife bought herself another car - an Audi Q5. And my husband continues to ride the brutal Chrysler Jeep Wrangler sport 3.

Viktor Shapovalenko, the founder of Krymagrotrade LLC, received income last year in the amount of 8.5 million rubles, against 3 million - in 2014. For his wife, the year was a failure - 222 thousand rubles against 1.6 million in the previous year. But the wife has another apartment with an area of ​​51 sq. m.

Deputy Ivan Shonus changed the position of director of the private enterprise "Olvia" to a similar one in LLC "XXI century - Crimea" and LLC "Loko-Service". And for good reason: in 2015 he earned 5.7 million rubles, although in 2014 it turned out only 500 thousand. But the spouse's income fell: from 1.7 million to 430 thousand rubles. One apartment, a Lexus car, an apartment building and a land plot disappeared from the family's property list. But 1/6 of the house with an area of ​​687 sq. m.

Igor Budanov and his family can safely claim the title of “Downshifters of the State Council”. Last year, the deputy was listed as the director of the Yalta branch of the state autonomous institution "Administrative Directorate of Property of the Republic of Crimea" and earned 485 thousand rubles. His wife received almost twice as much - 873 thousand.

And this year Budanov and his wife earned 69 and 45 thousand rubles, respectively. It's hard to imagine how they keep three underage children and fill up the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport car? By the way, Igor Budanov is a member of the commission for control over the reliability of information about income, property and property-related obligations submitted by the deputies of the State Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The smallest income was received in 2015 by Viktor Pavliv, director of South Crimean Sheep Breeding LLC. He declared an income of 64 thousand rubles.

In general, we can say that the deputies began to live better. Despite the crisis, they were paid more. And many, in addition to a raise in salary and a well-developing business, received high awards in 2014-2015: the medal “For the Defense of the Republic of Crimea”, the medal “For the Return of Crimea”, the medal “For Valorous Labor”, the medal of the Order “For Merit to the Fatherland ", Order" For Fidelity to Duty ".

Who these people are and how they deserve such an honor - even those who have been interested in Crimean politics for several years cannot say. It is a pity that there is nothing to say about the affairs of many deputies over the past two years. All that remains is to discuss income.

Four years ago, in February 2014, the “Russian spring” began in Crimea. Not wanting to accept the results of the Euromaidan, thousands of Crimeans took to the streets with Russian flags. People demanded the separation of the peninsula from Ukraine and entry into the Russian Federation. On the night of February 26-27, Russia, as President Vladimir Putin said, “turned its face to the Crimeans” - “little green men” appeared in Crimea, who later turned out to be the Russian army. Preparations have begun for an accession referendum. Following the results of the referendum, the formula “Crimea is ours” came into use. But if you look closely, few can fully say this. Who are they?

Petr Sarukhanov / Novaya Gazeta.

Sergey Aksenov.
Head of the republic, head of the family

Crimean Prime Minister Sergei Aksenov is a figure associated with many myths. The media accused him of having links with the "Salem" group in the 90s, of receiving a fake diploma from the Simferopol Higher Military-Political Construction School, and even of loyalty to Ukraine during the "Russian Spring".

The reliability of the above has not been proven. But the fact is absolutely indisputable that Sergei Valerievich is a strong family man, caring for his family and friends, even in the state service. So, five members of his family work in the Crimean authorities at once.

Father of the head of Crimea Valery Aksenov after the transition of the peninsula to Russia, he moved from the office of the director of the Simferopol auto repair plant to the office of the deputy chairman of the construction committee of the State Council of the republic.

Sergei Aksenov's sister-in-law was also in the State Council after the "Russian Spring" Evgeniya Dobrynya, until March 2014, worked as the secretary of the current head of Crimea in the Russian Unity party. Dobrynya headed the "golden" committee on land issues.

Civil husband of Evgenia Dobrynya Andrey Dedyukhin in 2014 he became the head of the fisheries department of the republican ministry of agriculture. The official biography of Dedyukhin says that from 2000 to 2014 he was engaged in entrepreneurial activity, but no traces of it have survived in the unified register of legal entities of Ukraine.

Mother-in-law of Sergei Aksenov Lyudmila Dobrynya with the arrival of Russia, she became a member of the Public Chamber of the Republic. And her husband Alexander Dobrynya was appointed Deputy Director of the State Unitary Enterprise of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Expert and Technical Center".

Sergei Aksyonov himself has repeatedly emphasized that it is necessary to put an end to "Ukrainian nepotism" in the Crimean authorities. “It is necessary to track all cases of conflict of interest. It is unacceptable if relatives work in the same narrowly focused sphere, having the opportunity to interact within the same industry, ”said the head of Crimea in February 2017 at a working meeting with the chairman of the republican anti-corruption committee Alexander Akshatin.

However, Aksenov brought his relatives out from under the blow, saying that he was "ready to answer for them personally."

In power after Sergei Aksenov went not only his relatives, but also business partners of his family, as well as associates in the party "Russian Unity". Entrepreneurs took deputy seats in the Crimean parliament Sergey Borodkin and Nikolay Vysotsky- business partners of Elena Aksenova, wife of the head of Crimea. Borodkin, together with Aksenova, is the founder of the Simferopol Hals LLC, Vysotsky in 2011-2013 worked at Hals as Deputy Director for Commercial Affairs.

By a strange coincidence, an advisor to Sergei Aksenov worked in companies affiliated with the family until 2014 Svetlana Babiy and Deputy Minister of Finance of the Republic Natalia Fedchun.

Business partner Aksenov Igor Lukashev in 2017 headed by Simferopol.

Another large group in power is Sergei Aksenov's associates in the Russian Unity party. Three former party members at once - Mikhail Sheremet, Andrey Kozenko and Dmitry Polonsky- after the "Russian spring" they became deputy prime ministers of the government of the republic. In 2016, Kozenko and Sheremet received parliamentary mandates from the State Duma.

Sergei Valerievich's associates in Russian Unity sat in the deputy chairs of the State Council of Crimea Vladimir Bobkov, Larisa Georgiadi and Sergey Shuvainikov.

Former member of "Russian Unity" Alexander Spiridonov headed the State Committee of Crimea for State Registration and Cadastre, and responsible for work with the media in "Russian Unity" Ekaterina Polonchuk- Department of information and press service of the head of the republic.

Business and a little personal

The family members of Sergei Aksenov and his friends in power could have been overlooked if not for ordinary Crimeans. Most of the family's businesses work "quietly" and do not get into scandals. But there are exceptions.

On the night of September 12, 2017, six-year-old Reyana woke up from the fact that a Molotov cocktail flew into the window of her children's room. The explosion lit up first the mosquito net, then the curtains.

“Reyana ran to wake the adults,” recalls the girl’s grandfather Vasvi Abduraimov. - We put out the burning window and door. One bottle didn't explode.

Investigators qualified the incident as "hooliganism". The attackers were not found. Vasvi Abduraimov is sure that it was an "attempted murder", and he was the main target.

Abduraimov is a veteran of the Crimean Tatar national movement. Since Ukrainian times, he fought for the legalization of the so-called. "Glades of protest" - the lands arbitrarily occupied by the Crimean Tatars after returning from deportation. People occupied the land without permission, because the authorities did not offer them any options for resettlement.

One of these "glades of protest", Strelkovaya, is located in Simferopol. In its place, the Crimean authorities decided to build a multi-storey residential complex "Crimean Rose", which should be erected by the group of companies "Monolit".

The conflict between Abduraimov and his comrades-in-arms with the "Monolith" went around more than one cabinet. The Crimean Tatars managed to get the issue of construction to be brought up for public hearings, but a group of 80 activists were simply not allowed to attend (even in these conditions, supporters of demolishing the "clearing of protest" won by a margin of only 13 votes). In addition, Center “E” began to put pressure on residents of Strelkovaya: eight people were searched on suspicion of possession of extremist literature.

“We have embarked on a project worth 32 billion rubles,” says Abduraimov. The numbers are real: they were called in the "Monolith" itself. "Crimean Rose" should become the largest construction project in Simferopol - the construction will unfold on 100 hectares of urban land, it is planned to put into operation 500 thousand square meters. m of housing.

The ambitious project is backed by the business partners of Sergei Aksenov's mother-in-law, Lyudmila Dobrynya. The Monolit group of companies includes, for example, Malva Kom LLC, created by Lyudmila Dobrynya and the current adviser to the head of Crimea, Svetlana Babiy, back in 2005. It received Russian registration only in December 2014, when the entire Aksenov team had already taken their places in the government. The acting Deputy Minister of Finance of the Crimea Natalya Fedchun was also related to Malva Kom - until 2014 she worked in this company as Deputy Director.

Another business associated with Lyudmila Dobrynya is a funeral service. In 2015, a “Specialized City Ritual Service” (LLC “SGRS”) was established in Simferopol. The general director of the enterprise is Leila Gemeji (concurrently - the general director of LLC Eskada, founded by Lyudmila Dobrynya back in 1997).

In December 2015, SGRS LLC took part in the tender of the Simferopol administration for the transportation of 720 dead people. The starting price of the contract is 399,600 rubles. LLC announced its readiness to perform work for 230,000 rubles. But the company of Sergei Aksenov's mother-in-law was outstripped by an individual entrepreneur Vladimir Lukyanov: he offered a price 10 times less - 23,760 rubles. And he won. But the results of the auction were canceled, and the business of IE Lukyanov ceased to exist, because Lukyanov himself ceased to exist - he died.

The wife of the head of Crimea Elena Aksenova is also a successful businessman. She is one of the founders of Hals LLC, which owns the largest Simferopol shopping center Ocean, where the largest retail chains operating in Crimea - Eldorado, Comfy, DNS, Limpopo children's goods hypermarket and others - are leased.

In the first three years of Crimea as part of Russia, Elena Aksenova's income grew almost 11 times: from 2.9 million rubles in 2014 to 32.8 million rubles in 2016. She is the seventh in terms of income among the wives of Russian governors. And her income statement lists a BMW for $ 120,000, a house of 577 sq. m, two land plots, three apartments and six non-residential premises.

23-year-old daughter Kristina Manusova is not far behind her mother. In 2015, she became the head of Parus LLC, which rents out non-residential premises on Kirov Avenue in Simferopol. Now the Porter House restaurant operates in the Parus premises, and the net profit of the company of Aksenov's daughter for 2016 amounted to 818 thousand rubles.

Vladimir Konstantinov.
Work Ties Man

The unconditional number 2 in the Crimean politics is the speaker of the State Council of the Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov. He has been heading the Parliament of Crimea since 2010, i.e. from Ukrainian times. He came to politics from the construction business, where he worked for 19 years, led the large construction companies "Consol" and "Ukrrosbud".

Unlike Sergei Aksenov, Konstantinov did not lead family members into power. But after the referendum his associates in the Party of Regions and partners in the construction company Consol received positions in the state structures of Crimea.

The Ministry of Construction is headed by the former Deputy General Director of "Consoli" Sergey Kononov, and the Ministry of Sports is a former economist of the financial department of "Consoli" Elizaveta Kozhicheva.

The former chairman of the board of "Consol" also became deputies of the State Council. Vladimir Yasinsky and his assistant Oksana Sergienko... Head of the roof department "Consol LTD" Alexander Didenko became Deputy Chairman of the State Committee for the Protection of the Cultural Heritage of Crimea.

The second group of Konstantinov's people in the Crimean government are his closest associates in the Party of Regions: Efim Fix, Sergey Fedorkin and Olga Sulnikova... They all became members of the State Council. Fix received the post of vice speaker of the republican parliament.

There is no salary, but incomes are growing

Unlike Aksenov, Konstantinov came to the Crimean power as a man who was already well off. In 2013, his fortune was estimated at $ 118.4 million - 104th place in the list of the richest people in Ukraine.

While still the speaker of the Ukrainian parliament of Crimea, Konstantinov refused his salary (15,300 hryvnia, or 76,500 rubles at the rate of 2013) and instructed the accounting department to transfer it to the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital.

Despite the fact that Vladi-mir Konstantinov did not receive a salary, his income continued to grow steadily. In 2014, according to the declaration, he earned 2.7 million rubles, in 2015 - 9.1 million and in 2016 - 83.9 million.

Novaya Gazeta sent a request to the Speaker of the State Council with a request to name the sources of income and the reason for their sharp increase in 2016. There was no answer.

Former assistant to Deputy Prime Minister of Crimea Mikhail Sheremet Vladimir Garnachuk believes that Konstantinov's income is directly related to his previous place of work.

- Most likely Konstantinov is still the beneficiary of Consol, - says Garnachuk. - I think that the refusal from the speaker's salary was deliberately thought up in order to create a positive image and, hiding behind it, continue to participate in the activities of the company.

"Consol", despite the fact that neither Vladimir Konstantinov nor other officials work in it now, really remains the largest construction company in Crimea.

In the fall of 2016, in Crimea, by decree of the head of the republic, Sergei Aksyonov, a wave of demolition of capital structures took place in the one-hundred-meter coastal zone of the Black Sea. Local businessmen - owners of cafes and hotels - sounded the alarm. In Yalta, the demolition of the Hottabych cafe led to the fact that its owner, 75-year-old Alexander Strekalin, burned himself at the monument to Maxim Gorky in the city center.

At this time, "Consol" was quietly building in Feodosia a residential complex of three nine-storey buildings and five climatic pavilions, 40 meters from the sea. The head of the marketing department of the Feodosia Directorate of "Consol" Angelica Karkach answered directly to the question about the 100-meter zone: "We will not have any problems."

And they really have no problems. In January 2016, the Sevastopol media reported: in the 16-storey elite house built by the company on Antichny Prospekt, there is no heating, elevators do not work, and when the lights are turned off, water disappears. The Sevastopol City Department and the Prosecutor's Office undertook to solve the problem of the residents of the house and punish the company. But all they managed to achieve was the promises of the Consol management to eliminate the imperfections.

The company's revenue in 2016 amounted to 788.6 million rubles.

Vitaly Nakhlupin.
King of the roads

First Deputy Prime Minister of Crimea Vitaly Nakhlupin arrived on the peninsula in September 2010 as part of a team of “Donetsk managers”, a protege of Viktor Yanukovych. Initially, he headed the enterprise "Krymtrolleybus", but two months later he went for a promotion - to the commission of the Verkhovna Rada of Crimea on budgetary policy. As the chairman of this commission, Nakhlupin met the events of February-March 2014.

The “Crimean spring” was received by the Donetsk team with hostility. Crimean Prime Minister Anatoly Mogilev in February 2014, when the peninsula was already shaken by massive pro-Russian rallies, bluntly stated that he intends to carry out the decisions of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Nakhlupin, judging by media reports, also allegedly demanded from the Crimean deputies not to call a referendum, threatening to arrest him for separatism.

However, the referendum took place. Unlike Mogilev and most of the "Donetsk", Nakhlupin did not leave for Ukraine. Moreover, he managed to integrate into the Russian vertical: first he became a deputy of the State Council of the republic, then - the first deputy prime minister of Crimea.

Under the Russian wing, Nakhlupin undertook to supervise the road infrastructure. He is associated with the enterprises "Road Transport Construction Company" ("DTSK") and "Kommuntrans". The latter - of Donetsk origin - appeared in Crimea at the same time as Vitaly Germanovich himself. It regularly received government contracts for the repair of Crimean roads back in Ukraine, and continued to receive them with the arrival of Russia. DTSK was registered in Crimea only in April 2014, at the same address where Kommuntrans was located. The enterprise is headed by Valentin Zavoichinsky, whom Nakhlupin, by his own admission, “knows from his work in the Ukrainian years”.

There is a distribution of roles between Kommuntrans and the Road Transport Construction Company: the first company is responsible for minor repairs of Crimean roads, the second - for large projects. Thus, it was DTSK that received contracts from the Crimean government for the reconstruction of the access road to the Simferopol airport (1.88 billion rubles) and for the construction of an interchange at the intersection of the Evpatoria - Simferopol highway with the Simferopol - Dubki highway (959 million rubles).

In just four years of Crimea being a part of Russia, DTSK received government contracts worth more than 3 billion rubles.

According to Novaya's sources, Vitaly Nakhlupin planned to employ his own contractors for the construction of the Tavrida highway, which would connect Kerch with Sevastopol, and for which 137 billion rubles were allocated from the federal budget. But in the end, they gave them up to the VAD company, owned by the "kings of the state order" Valery Abramov and Viktor Perevalov. “Moscow was not ready to give such an expensive project to a regional company,” the source explained.

In July 2017, the Crimean Prosecutor's Office initiated a check on the affiliation of DTSK and Kommuntrans to the First Deputy Prime Minister. Nakhlupin reacted to this with the words: "Let them check." It is not known how the check ended, but Nakhlupin's position in the Crimean government did not shake.

In the first three years of Crimea being a part of Russia, Vitaly Nakhlupin earned 52 million rubles. He owns an apartment of 142 square meters, two parking spaces and six expensive cars - Mercedes Benz S550, Porsche 911, Porsche Cayenne, Toyota Camry, BMW X6 and Volkswagen Touareg.

Evgeny Dvoskin.
Banker

Immediately after the “Russian spring”, Crimea suffered a financial catastrophe: by order of Kiev, all Ukrainian banks simultaneously left the peninsula. The first Russian bank in Crimea was the inconspicuous Genbank, which by March 2014 ranked 315th in the rating of domestic credit institutions and had only two branches: in Rostov-on-Don and Omsk.

After entering the Crimean market, Genbank began to progress dramatically: today it has 117 branches (mainly on the peninsula) and 138th place in the rating. It is the second largest bank in Crimea, after the state-owned RNKB.

Genbank is controlled by Evgeny Dvoskin, a man with a very controversial biography. His name is mentioned in a number of criminal cases related to money laundering. And not only in Russia, but also in the United States. According to the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), during one of the interrogations, Dvoskin described his work as follows: “The essence of my professional activity is that I ensure the safety and stability of the financial flows of my clients entering certain banks, recommended by me as a financial advisor ”.

The name of Dvoskin was also associated with the banks Falcon, Migros and the Siberian Development Bank, which had their licenses revoked in 2006-2007 for carrying out dubious transactions worth 3 billion rubles. Dvoskin himself later stated that he had nothing to do with these banks, and information about his involvement in them was fabricated by "corrupt ex-law enforcement officers."

Having settled in Crimea, Dvoskin acquired a scandalous reputation here as well. The media indicated that it was he who could most likely be the beneficiary of the raider seizure of the Yalta refrigeration plant in July 2015.

Kerch developer Illarion Gapitsonov told Novaya Gazeta about another case of raiding, which may be associated with Dvoskin. According to him, Dvoskin with the help of the Feodosia developer Roman Lukichev "squeezed" from him a five-story new building in Kerch.

Evgeny Dvoskin himself rejects involvement in the seizure of a new building and calls Gapitsonov's accusations slander.

Today, things are not going well for Dvoskin. In August last year, a temporary administration was introduced at Genbank. At the same time, his wife Tatyana Dvoskina was forced to leave the post of chairman of the bank's board of directors. Yevgeny Vladimirovich himself explained the introduction of the provisional administration by the "rapid growth of Genbank", however, in a number of media outlets there was information about the withdrawal of 15 billion rubles from the bank.

Evgeny Kabanov.
MP without law

The locomotive of the Crimean economy (in addition to subsidies from the federal budget) is housing construction. There are a lot of people who want to live on the sea coast, and the prices for apartments in Crimea in some places compete with those in Moscow.

And if the main builder of Crimea is Vladimir Konstantinov, then the main developer on the peninsula is Evgeny Kabanov, the owner of the Interstroy group of companies.

Many objects of "Interstroy" are concurrently objects of hatred of the Crimeans. For example, Kabanov's company is actively developing the Primorsky Park of Yalta (there were rallies in the city about this), and in September 2017, the developer presented a project for the development of Soldiersky Beach in Sevastopol. It is proposed to build an apart-hotel "Admiralskaya Laguna" on the beach from five four-storey buildings. It is important to clarify that the Admiral's Lagoon is not a classic hotel. Rooms here are not rented, but sold. Now, at the stage of the zero cycle - at a price of 69,000 rubles per sq. m.

In fact, "Admiral Lagoon" is a residential complex with non-residential status.

“Evgeny Kabanov often builds apartments that can be used as residential buildings,” says Viktor Yadukha, editor-in-chief of the Sevastopol portal “Notes”. - Most often, these objects are located in a hundred-meter coastal zone, where it is impossible to build residential buildings. In addition, there is no need to build related infrastructure for the apartments: for example, kindergartens.

In addition to the active development of Crimea, Yevgeny Kabanov is engaged in lawmaking - he is a member of the State Council. True, for 4 years of Crimea being a part of Russia, Yevgeny Konstantinovich did not submit a single bill to the republican parliament.
