What's new about the house for Chubais. House for a billion

The structure helped to take the mansion and 1.5 hectares of land from the former manager, whom the head of Rusnano accused of fraud.

The head of the state corporation "Rusnano" became the owner of the land and the mansion in the village of Peredelkino, not far from the dacha of the writer Boris Pasternak. Thus, Chubais was able to regain the estate, the construction of which began especially for him and director Avdotya Smirnova shortly after their wedding in 2012. The head of Rusnano has been trying for several years to take away the property from the former manager, who managed to formalize the project for himself. The structure with which the official was very friendly helped to return the property to Chubais.

According to the data received, extracts from Rosreestr, on February 26, 2019, Chubais took ownership of a land plot with an area of ​​1.56 hectares, as well as a three-storey residential building of 2,656.8 sq. m, a guest house of 585.9 sq. m, garage of 374.6 sq. m, house for security 736.7 sq. m and a gas pipeline.

How Chubais lost his home

Chubais began building this house seven years ago.

In 2015, the site and real estate were registered and formalized in the Swiss company SFO Concept AG, which was headed by a young financier Ilya Suchkov. As a source for Forbes, SFO was created by Chubais to manage his assets, but after Russian officials were banned from owning property abroad in 2013, the head of Rusnano sold the company to Suchkov.

Ilya Suchkov is the brother of Igor Suchkov, who was Chubais's advisor for 17 years, and the son of Vasily Suchkov, who worked with Chubais when he headed the State Property Committee.

The company was transferred to Suchkov with loans, the largest of which in the amount of $ 22.9 million was provided by the structure of the businessman O1 Trust Services ltd. For about the same amount, Chubais hoped to buy out the property, but upon completion of the construction, SFO announced that the site and the house cost at least $ 50 million, an acquaintance of the head of Rusnano to Vedomosti.

“At first, they demanded that I buy a house at an inadequate price, and when I categorically refused, they began to send me secret recordings of business negotiations, with the threat of their publication,” Chubais stated his claims to Suchkov on Facebook.

In the summer of 2016, the Arbitration Court of the Bryansk Region arrested SFO's property, including a house and land in the Moscow Region, at the suit of the second creditor, Crizna Holdings ltd. Suchkov claimed that this company was affiliated with Mints, but the businessman's representatives denied this. And in 2017, the Tverskoy Court of Moscow was already suchkov himself on charges of fraud.

As a result, in the fall of 2018, bailiffs put up the site and real estate in Peredelkino for auction. The initial amount of the lot is 800 million rubles. Only one company - Ava Holding LLC - applied for participation, and the sale was declared invalid. Apparently, the company was registered specifically for trading: it was created on October 1, 2018 (applications were submitted until October 17), and liquidated on July 24, 2019. The owner and CEO of the company is Natela Kurdadze.

In autumn, Andrey Trapeznikov, Deputy Chairman of the Board for External Communications of Rusnano, when asked whether Ava Holding had anything to do with Chubais, said that this topic was not related to Rusnano, and therefore the company did not comment on it.

How Chubais returned the house

Then events began to develop in an amazing way. On December 24, 2018, the bailiff transfers the SFO property not sold at the auction to the claimant - the Cypriot company Tylsoca Limited. This is the new name of O1 Trust Services ltd, which provided loans to the SFO.

On the first working day of the new year, January 8, SFO rushed to file a claim with the Krasnogorsk City Court to annul the decision of the bailiffs, and on Friday, January 18, the court terminated the proceedings, explaining that to appeal the bailiff's decision based on the documents of the arbitration court. it is necessary in the arbitration court. To file a claim with the Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region SFO only on Monday, January 21. By this time, the 10-day period allocated by law to appeal the bailiff's decision had expired.

Suchkov's company also asked the court to prohibit the alienation of the disputed real estate until the end of the proceedings, but on February 5, it was denied interim measures. By this time, namely on January 25, Tylsoca had already managed to register land and real estate in Peredelkino in its ownership. And on February 26, she sold the estate to Chubais, it follows from the data of Rosreestr. The SFO is now trying to challenge the bailiff's decision to transfer the estate to Tylsoca in an appellate court.

Information about the case in which Tylsoca was able to obtain a writ of execution to recover Chubais' estate was not found in the bases of the Russian courts. But it follows from another SFO lawsuit that the estate itself was valued too cheaply during the transfer: Suchkov's company demands to recognize the assessment from the AvtoVelya agency as invalid, but so far unsuccessfully. The next trial in this case is on September 2.

The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation accuses several members of the board of the state corporation "Rusnano" of embezzling more than 300 million rubles. The head of the state corporation, Anatoly CHUBAIS, commented on the accusations with irony, calling them the pre-election PR of one of the deputies. Anatoly Borisovich can afford to treat such statements in this way. If something happens, he has long guaranteed a comfortable old age for himself and his loved ones. The ex-wife, Maria VISHNEVSKAYA, who still lives in the luxurious estate of the ex-husband in the elite village of Zhavoronki near Moscow, does not live in poverty either.

Chubais's mansion in Zhavoronki is known to every local resident. The huge territory is fenced off with a high green fence, densely covered with video cameras. Anatoly Borisovich acquired this property in the mid-90s. Previously, there was a kindergarten of the Factory named after 1905, where the kids were taken out for the summer. It was then that Chubais looked after her, who held the post of deputy chairman of the Russian government for economics and financial policy.

A tasty morsel among the pines and birches was also liked by his comrade and adviser for work in the government, and then by Leonid Gozman, director for humanitarian projects of JSC Rusnano. Recently Leonid Yakovlevich quietly left this post. Perhaps in connection with the accusations of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation of embezzlement by a number of heads of the state corporation of huge sums? Now Gozman works as director of the Perspektiva Foundation for Social and Analytical Initiatives, so our prospects are very bright.

In the distant 90s, comrades-in-arms offered to redeem the land at a reasonable price for the creative team of the theater "School of the modern play". Chief director Joseph Reichelgauz liked the site. He was joined by several more colleagues in the creative workshop, among whom were Bulat Okudzhava and Albert Filozov. Without delay, they divided what used to belong to children. Chubais took the largest piece of land for himself by building a three-story mansion. He entered it with his second wife, Maria Vishnevskaya, whom he married in 1990. He met this charming lady at the Leningrad Engineering and Economic Institute. Palmiro Togliatti, where both worked: Anatoly Borisovich as an associate professor, and Maria Davydovna as a senior research assistant.

Chased the dogs across the field

I remember Borisovich, when he still drove the Niva, - Chubais's neighbor, retired colonel Alexei Ivanovich, set off into memories. - He brought this whole gang of watering cans here together with Gozman and Reichelgauz. But to be honest, there was desolation here before them. Because of the muddy roads, it used to be impossible to drive to the house. In order to get through even in a jeep, it was necessary to put pieces of iron and logs on the road. I personally helped Chubais to carry the logs. The road to his house just passes me by. I saw Chubais got stuck. I immediately went out and helped in a neighborly way. But he is an economic man: he quickly asphalted everything, installed new sewer pipes ... He was very fond of driving around the field with dogs. Surrounded by bodyguards, of course.

Since he married TV presenter Duna Smirnova, she has been visiting our area. His ex-wife Masha lives here.

When Chubais divorced Maria Vishnevskaya, they said that he left her all his real estate ...

He did not leave real estate, he left it to live in his estate. And the site and everything that was built on it still belongs to Borisovich. It's a pity, we rarely see Masha - they take her by car.

We say that Chubais still wants to buy a house with a plot that belongs to the artist Albert Filozov. Maybe for children from his first marriage, who knows. Filozov wrote a huge advertisement for the sale. 16 million asks. But anyhow to whom it is risky to sell.

Filozov's mansion

The house of the People's Artist of the Russian Federation Albert Filozov looks more than modest against the background of the mansions of his high-ranking neighbors. I wonder if it is worth the requested money? We called the phone number listed in the ad. A pleasant female voice confirmed that the plot with the house is indeed for sale. An agent named Elizabeth is doing this. She introduced herself as a family friend and confidant of the 78-year-old owner.

Albert Leonidovich is very sorry to part with this place, - Elizabeth complained. - But he cannot come here often. I visited only twice this year. He is not a summer resident by nature. The Filozovs are resting abroad. They have a tradition of visiting at least two countries every summer. This is what we have done now. Therefore, the sale of the house was postponed until the fall.

“Lizonka,” Albert asks me, “maybe we will leave at least a small piece of land behind us? It hurts me to leave here, because the air here is wonderful. " But I dissuade him. There is no one to look after these possessions. Electricity with heating also costs money. A plot of 15 acres, on which you need to weed the grass, remove the leaves.

The total area of ​​the house is 154 square meters. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, dining room, bathroom. On the second is a huge hall. The third floor, although not so large, has two separate rooms of ten meters each. Usually guests stayed there overnight.

In the garden there are apple trees, cherries, currant bushes. Earlier, when the daughters of Albert Leonidovich were young, he brought them here on bicycles to ride, and now they have other concerns. Anya is already 15, Nastya is 22. It's more interesting for them to hang out in Moscow now. Natalya, his wife, and even more so, this site turned out to be unnecessary. She is an unadapted person.

Albert Leonidovich works a lot, it is important for him to retire somewhere. Therefore, now I am looking after him a one-room apartment in Arkhangelskoye. This is not far from his city dwelling. There, too, fresh air, but he doesn't need anything else. And it's easier to get to than to Larks. He has been driving electric trains all his life, he never got behind the wheel.

Mere pennies

The building looks dilapidated. Surely you will have to change all communications?

What are you doing! - Elizabeth reacted violently. - Unless the roof is put in order. Everything was done here for centuries, according to the latest technology. Our neighbor Anatoly Chubais had a hand in the communications. He did everything for himself soundly and did not skimp on his neighbors. Two years ago, after marrying TV presenter Duna Smirnova, Anatoly Borisovich moved out of his house, but according to the documents, the mansion still belongs to him.

His ex-wife Maria now lives in the estate. She is sick, she needs care. Here Chubais also visits regularly. After all, they lived together for 22 years.

The neighbors say, they say, Chubais has his eye on Filozov's plot.

Why not? The plot is lovely. And it is inexpensive: 16 million. For him - mere pennies. Maybe Leonid Gozman will hurry up. He, too, has been looking closely at the house of Albert Leonidovich for a long time.

Across the street from the famous dacha of Boris Pasternak, in the village of writers Peredelkino, there was a field on which the poet loved to walk. This "Pasternak" field is now built up with spacious country residences (see the map). As Forbes found out, the estate on the site closest to the Pasternak Museum in the village of Peredelkino was built for the head of Rusnano Anatoly Chubais and his wife, screenwriter, director Avdotya Smirnova. Construction began shortly after the wedding.

The huge house is completely finished, but empty. Arrest was imposed on him, the site and other buildings. The owner of the property is the Swiss company SFO Concept AG, headed by a young financier Ilya Suchkov. According to Mr. Suchkov, the main house with an area of ​​2,656.8 sq. m, two guest houses and other buildings, his company invested $ 50 million. In June and July, the creditors of SFO Concept, who lent the company $ 36 million, filed several lawsuits for the return of money, one of them was accepted for consideration in court. The largest lender is O1 Trust Services ltd of the billionaire and friend of Chubais Boris Mints, which in early 2012 issued loans to SFO Concept in the amount of $ 22.9 million.

What is SFO Concept? “For a long time it was Chubais’s family office, the company that managed his assets,” says a source close to one of the creditors. - After the passage of the law [prohibiting officials from owning foreign assets. - Forbes] Mr. Chubais sold the company to Ilya Suchkov. The company received loans from Boris Mints's structures, because Chubais simply needed money to build a house. And Suchkov at some point realized that he was the happy owner and CEO of a company that owns land and an almost-built house, and decided to play on it.

The young financier Ilya Suchkov has a different version. “The house in the village of Peredelkino was originally an investment project by SFO Concept,” he says. - It was financed by 50% from the company's own funds. Anatoly Borisovich was going to buy it, but then, apparently, changed his mind. And Boris Iosifovich [Mints. - Forbes] he liked the house so much that he wanted it for himself and because of this he initiated all this prosecution. "

“This is complete nonsense! - a source close to Chubais is indignant. "The house was immediately built by order of Chubais for the needs of his family." According to him, in addition to loans for the construction of a house, Chubais' own funds were spent, first through the sale of property belonging to him from the balance sheet of SFO Concept, and after the sale of the company, he also reported personal funds. In general, this is significantly less than $ 50 million, the source of Forbes insists. If creditors sue the house, Chubais can buy it out, the source says, but at the present time, given the whole situation, he considers its acquisition inappropriate.

A young financier from a good family

The area of ​​the house with all the buildings turned out to be one and a half times larger than Chubais's previous country estate in the Moscow Region Zhavoronki (according to the tax declaration for 2010, it was registered in his name). However, Mints representatives say O1 Trust Services is trying to get the money back and does not aim to take over the house. “The situation is banal - the owner of SFO Concept does not return the money he took to build the house, and decided to dispose of it at his own discretion,” Mints's eldest son Dmitry, head and chairman of the board of directors of O1 Properties, says in an interview with Forbes.

Where did Chubais get the money?

Over the past five years, Chubais's official income amounted to 1.1 billion rubles (2010-2014). This amount includes 102 million rubles of earnings in Rusnano and income from the sale of 1.1% of the financial corporation Otkrytie, the shares of which he and Mints owned until 2013. Chubais planned to pay for the estate in the village of Peredelkino mainly with funds from the sale of shares in the ZPIF Perspektivnye Kompaniya, says a source close to the head of Rusnano. He established this hedge fund in 2007 together with Boris Mints using funds received for the reform of RAO UES of Russia. The fund has invested mainly in stocks and bonds in foreign markets. At first, Chubais had 54.8%, but at the end of 2013 the partners' shares were diluted: the Telecom-Soyuz pension fund owned by Mints received 51.2% due to an additional contribution of 900 million rubles. In 2013, the fund became a shareholder of several closed-end mutual funds, one of which owned 49% in the iCube office center, estimated at the end of last year at $ 100 million with a debt of $ 75 million. market and get rental income. However, property prices fell, and before the fund closed at the end of 2015, he sold his stake in iCube at about the same price he bought. During liquidation, the fund's net assets exceeded 4 billion rubles, a twofold increase in their value was ensured by devaluation, since the main assets were denominated in dollars. “When closing the closed-end investment fund, the shareholders were allocated income that I declared and paid all taxes from them. I did not participate in the operational management of the fund, ”says Chubais. According to Forbes calculations, Chubais's income in 2015 exceeded 1 billion rubles, but the net profit minus the invested funds may be less. How much Chubais received in 2015 is unknown: he is no longer obliged to disclose this data due to the change in legislation and the transition from JSC Rusnano to Management Company Rusnano, which manages the assets of the state-owned company.

Ilya Suchkov comes from a family that is well known to Chubais. His father Vasily Suchkov worked together with the current head of Rusnano in the State Property Committee, Ilya's elder brother Igor was Chubais's advisor for 17 years. Chubais's acquaintance says that Igor had many ideas: from investing in a network of dental clinics to building a cottage village on the banks of the Ikshinskoye reservoir. He invited his brother Ilya to manage real estate projects, who in 2010 became the head of SFO Concept.

According to Ilya Suchkov, the company quickly ceased to be only a family office and diversified its business: it began to provide consulting services, for commissions it helped companies that worked with securities to attract clients. Suchkov recalls that he spent two days a week in Switzerland, three in Moscow, and discussed matters with Chubais once a year.

In 2013, Russian officials were banned from owning property abroad. Anatoly Chubais sold SFO Concept to Ilya Suchkov. The deal was real, not fictitious, say the participants. However, it follows from the sale and purchase documents submitted by Suchkov that Chubais did not immediately relinquish control over the company.

Under the terms of the agreement, Suchkov had to pay a large sum of $ 28 million for SFO Concept with a deferred payment, about the same the company at that time sent to finance a house in the village of Peredelkino. As an interim measure, Suchkov signed an agreement to terminate the purchase and sale agreement without specifying a date, which Chubais could use at almost any time. A year later, the parties entered into a new agreement on the waiver of interim measures and the completion of settlements at a new price of $ 152,000, determined in the appraiser's report (slightly less than the authorized capital of 200,000 Swiss francs). Suchkov says that he took part of the money from his parents, borrowed part and added his savings.

A source close to Chubais insists that the due date for SFO Concept has not yet arrived, while the transaction price is significantly higher than the authorized capital, and Suchkov has not paid this money yet. “The SFO Concept company belonged to me for some time,” Anatoly Chubais confirmed to Forbes. - In 2013, I sold it to another person to start organizing the construction of a house and raising funds. In the future, the house was to become my property. As far as I know, the company violated a number of commercial agreements in terms of attracted financing and, apparently, this was the reason for filing claims against it from creditors. "

"We had friendly relations"

According to Dmitry Mints, SFO Concept delayed payments on the promissory note by $ 0.9 million, which matured in 2013, but serious questions to Suchkov appeared only in December 2015. “We learned that Suchkov wanted to re-register all the SFO Concept real estate to himself as an individual, without paying loans,” Mints said indignantly. "This means for us that he not only cannot fulfill his obligations, but he is not even going to try to settle accounts with us."

Suchkov lays out in front of him in his office stacks of documents - loan agreements in two languages, appraisal reports. He admits that Boris Mints' structures lent to SFO Concept. But it is clear from the agreement that the largest unsecured loan from O1 Trust Services ltd for $ 15.5 million is due only in April 2022, in addition, it was issued not for the construction of a house, but for replenishing the working capital of SFO Concept AG. Another lender, Crizna Holdings ltd, borrowed $ 7.5 million for general corporate purposes in June 2015 and is now also seeking a refund in court. According to Suchkov, Crizna is affiliated with Mints, although representatives of the latter deny this.

The implication, creditors say, was that all loans would go towards building a house that Chubais would buy out, and after that the company would pay off the debts. However, they understand that the sale of real estate on the market will not allow Suchkov to pay off his debts: the current value of SFO Concept assets is lower than the cost of loans, and, according to them, already at the beginning of 2015 the company did not have equity capital.

Creditors do not exclude the conclusion of an amicable agreement with Suchkov, but so far the parties have not come to an understanding. Suchkov offers to buy a house from him at a price of $ 36.5 million, based on the report of an English appraisal company, the name of which he does not specify. Lenders believe that the actual market value of the house with all the buildings and the plot is only $ 12.55 million, which is how much Knight Frank estimated it.

“Representatives of Boris Mints are forced to sell real estate in Peredelki at a lower price - first they gave $ 7 million, then $ 12 million, which puts the company under the threat of bankruptcy and criminal prosecution of SFO Concept's management,” says Suchkov. "If Mints later cedes real estate at this price to Chubais, this will mean assistance in legalizing income, because his official income does not allow him to purchase real estate from SFO Concept at market value." He also believes that the issuance of unsecured loans by Mints for ten years could simply be a transfer of funds belonging to Chubais to legalize part of the income, and to verify this, he sent a request to the law enforcement agencies of Cyprus.

According to Forbes calculations, Chubais's official income in 2010-2015 exceeded 2 billion rubles. He planned to pay for the house in the village of Peredelkino by selling the property of the ZPIF "Perspective Companies", established together with Mints (see cut).

“Lenders, admittedly, are fucking [...]. The degree of trust in Suchkov was high, and the credit relations were not brilliantly formalized, ”says one of the financiers who took part in lending to the construction site. “We could have had a stronger position in court in debt collection if we were engaged in lending to a construction site as a commercial, tough deal,” says Dmitry Mints. “Nobody imagined that they would have to sort things out with Suchkov in court. At one time Chubais helped Ilya in a human way, ”says Chubais's acquaintance. Suchkov believes that Chubais does not owe anything.

In the Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region, Suchkov won: the court refused to consider the O1 Trust's claim against the SFO and the motion for the seizure of assets, since it considered that the creditor had not proved the connection between the real estate objects and the credit relationship. However, the Bryansk arbitration, where the second creditor, the Crizna company, applied, at the end of July nevertheless arrested the disputed real estate. The court took into account that it could be sold without the knowledge of creditors: the site, along with buildings on Internet sites, is being sold at prices in the region of 920-950 million rubles, although it is not known who the initiator of these announcements is.

The judge also referred to a supplementary agreement to the loan agreement, in which the former trustee of its real estate in Russia, OOO SFO Concept Consulting, was vouched for SFO Concept. The agreement was signed by the general director of the company Sergei Krychenko, a former security guard of Chubais, who worked as his assistant at RAO UES. It says that the guarantor is jointly and severally liable for the loan taken by SFO Concept for the construction of a house in the village of Peredelkino. A separate paragraph provides for the consideration of controversial issues not in the London International Arbitration Court, but in the Arbitration Court of the Bryansk Region.

"The supplementary agreement to the loan agreement is pure falsification," Suchkov is indignant and shows a copy of the document. It follows from it that the purpose of the loan has changed, the choice of the Bryansk arbitration is not motivated by anything, and no one has even notified the borrower about the appearance of the guarantor. For Suchkov, this turn was a complete surprise, because, according to him, he was on friendly terms with Krychenko, although they terminated the property trust agreement at the end of 2015.

In the appeal, Suchkov argues that his company has no delinquencies on the Crizna loan, so the creditor has no reason to collect the debt. According to him, a month before the loan expired at the end of October 2015, Crizna assigned the debt to a certain Denian Limited (BVI), also affiliated with Mints, and she, in turn, signed a debt forgiveness document. “The fact that this debt will be forgiven was agreed with Mints from the very beginning, we had friendly relations,” Suchkov explains.

Why Mints donated several million dollars to the former company of Chubais and whether it really was, other participants in the case do not say. Rusnano emphasizes that this situation has no direct relation to Chubais, since he left all projects with the participation of Suchkov. "The ownership structure of Anatoly Chubais's assets meets the requirements of Russian legislation, and all income has been declared," says Andrey Trapeznikov, Deputy Chairman of the Board for External Communications of Rusnano.

Chubais recently admitted in an interview with Forbes that he has a small family office, but he is not rich enough to be included in the Forbes list. Like the humble Pasternak in everyday life, he could have complained about the difficulties of life with the words of the great writer about his house in Peredelkino: "It was necessary to decide whether to take it [the dacha], go to watch its completion, dodge, get money ..."
