A few months ago I saw on Twitter this photo of a man in front of a 6-meter fence and immediately thought: need to see what's behind it.

In general, everyone in the wonderful city of Plyos already knows that - Medvedev's dacha. And what is there in the city of Plyos, they wrote about her in the newspapers, in the Wikipedia article about this place too: here is Medvedev's dacha.

A 6-meter fence is such a thing, it not only protects, but also attracts the curious.

We are just that curious and want to know. What is there, behind the fence of the dacha of the leader of the United Russia party list? How much is it? Who paid for it? And why is it so hidden if it is not an official state residence?

Discovered: a gigantic residence, what the media wrote - 2 hectares - this is nonsense, there are 80 hectares. It's like three Kremlin or 30 Red Squares.

The organization is very similar to some "New Ogaryovo" from satellite : the residence of the "first person" is fenced with an internal fence, inside the external perimeter of the hotel for employees, a car depot, etc.

Three helipads (like Putin's in Gelendzhik), special communications towers, according to the documents we see that there are several underground structures.

We have no doubts that it is not the dacha of the oligarch, but that of Medvedev. Moreover, he often goes there. See mushrooms on Instagram

See geotag - it will be from there

And the most interesting thing: it was built not just with oligarchic money, but with oligarchic money donated to charity.

The shareholders of the gas giant NOVATEK Mikhelson and Simanovsky contributed 33 billion to the authorized fund of the DAR charitable foundation (Medvedev's classmate was the head of the supervisory board there), and the fund from this money began to build several strange closed objects, including this one. Detailed description of the scheme with documents.

The next time you read on the Internet about the nationwide collection of a million rubles for the treatment of a sick child, remember this "charity". For this amount, you can make the necessary paid operations generally to everyone needy.

Well, what can you call it?

We show everything as it is and call a spade a spade in our new video:

I have a standard request for help with distribution (it won't show on TV), but with an addition.

The entire Internet is crammed with posts about elections: this is our duty, this is our chance, the battle of the United Russia, and so on.

Personally, it is unlikely that you can do anything more useful from the point of view of the fight against United Russia than distributing this video. Throw it everywhere, and especially where there are those who still believe in the party where Medvedev is number one on the list.

The Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) of opposition politician Alexei Navalny has published its largest investigation. The main character of the exposing publication was the closest associate of the President of the country, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. In the material "He's not Dimon for you" We are talking about elite real estate, land plots, yachts, agricultural complexes and wineries that FBK employees found with a high-ranking politician.

This investigation has resulted in a nearly 50-minute film about Medvedev's wealth, which, according to the fund, was acquired by "donations" from oligarchs and loans from state banks. The video was published on Navalny's channel on Youtube ... The text version is available in Russian and English.

As Navalny notes in his blog, the fund's employees have uncovered a sophisticated ramified corruption scheme with which Medvedev enriches himself. The authors of the investigation found out that there is a network of charitable and non-profit foundations organized by proxies and relatives of Medvedev, "donations" for them come from oligarchs and from state banks, and the recipients of aid are Medvedev and his family. These funds are allegedly used to purchase real estate and other property, not only in Russia, but also abroad.

FBK reminds that according to this scheme Medvedev owns, the investigation of which the fund published in September last year. Then it was reported that the object was guarded by the FSO and there was a no-fly zone above it.

In total, according to FBK, at least 70 billion rubles were transferred to Medvedev's funds in money and property, and these funds, in particular, were used to build and maintain the prime minister's estate and agricultural complex in Mansurovo, the Psekhako mountain residence in Sochi, vineyards in Anapa and Tuscany. (Italy), Milovka estate in Ples, Ivanovo region.

According to FBK, one of the objects at Medvedev's disposal is residence on Rublevka worth about five billion rubles. Formally, the real estate belongs to the Fund for Support of Socially Significant State Projects ("Sotsgosproekt"). The residence (both the land and the mansion) was presented to the foundation by one of the richest people in Russia, businessman Alisher Usmanov with a fortune of $ 12.5 billion, the FBK found out.

The Anti-Corruption Fund calls this donation of Usmanov a bribe, reporting that the fact that the billionaire donated the residence is evidenced by an extract from the Federal Register.

The chairman of the supervisory board of the Sotsgosproekt fund is Medvedev's classmate, vice-president of Gazprombank, Ilya Eliseev, who heads the Dar fund, which owned the Milovka estate in Plyos.

At the same time, the Gradislava Foundation, to which Milovka was donated, was established by Leonid Rubtsov, writes FBK, noting that he also turned out to be a director at the Green Yard firm, which belongs to Sotsgosproekt. And the director of the Sotsgosproekt fund is another classmate of Medvedev, Aleksey Chetvertkov. The founder of Sotsgosproekt is Vitaly Golovachev, who heads the management company of the Dar fund.

The luxury estate owned by the foundation includes a huge house of 3000 sq. m, a guest house with an area of \u200b\u200b750 sq. m, a bathhouse and other buildings. All this is located on 4.3 hectares in the village of Znamenskoye, Odintsovo district.

In addition, according to FBK, Medvedev has a number of properties in the Kursk region. We are talking about estate in the village of Mansurovo, where the prime minister's grandfather and father come from, with an area of \u200b\u200babout 240 thousand square meters. m. The estate includes a main house, a guest house, two helipads, a decorative pond and a sports court. The Anti-Corruption Foundation has also published a bird's eye view of the luxurious residence, located virtually in an open field.

The residence is registered in the ownership of the "Mansurovo" agricultural complex. The chairman of the board of directors of this company is Medvedev's classmate Ilya Eliseev.

Agrocomplex "Mansurovo" is a huge enterprise occupying 27 thousand hectares, has 3170 head of cattle, a pig farm for 55 thousand pigs and a stud farm. The director of the enterprise was Natalya Kharitonova, a graduate of the law faculty of Leningrad State University, a student of Eliseev. One of the board members is Andrei Medvedev, who is allegedly a cousin of the Russian prime minister.

Andrey Medvedev is the director and owner of a small share in the Seim-Agro company (grows tomatoes, cucumbers and roses). The main founder of this company is ZAO Kurskproteplitsa, whose board of directors is headed by the same classmate of Medvedev, Ilya Eliseev. And the only owner of Kurspromteplitsa is the Sotsgosproekt foundation, to which Usmanov presented the Rublev residence.

According to FBK, the Sotsgosproekt fund owns a stake in the Skalisty Bereg company, which owns vineyards in Anapa... The Board of Directors of Skalisty Bereg is headed by Eliseev. One of the directors of this company was Andrey Zhmenya, who later became the director of the Gradislava Foundation, to which the Milovka estate in Plyos is registered.

The current head of the Rocky Coast is Andrei Skok, one of the key asset managers of the Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Alexander Tkachev, and Medvedev and Tkachev are together lobbying for preferences for the wine business, where they both have an interest, the FBK notes.

The largest share in the Kursk estates and Anapa vineyards belongs to Tekhinpro Company CJSC. The director of this firm is Vladimir Dyachenko, whose name was mentioned in Medvedev's e-mail hacked in 2014, according to the published documents. It also says that in the name of Dyachenko and to the address of Tekhinpro Company, Medvedev ordered personal items via the Internet. Moreover, the FBK employees managed to understand that the mail belongs to the prime minister by comparing the shopping list preserved in the mail and the sneakers with shirts that appeared on Medvedev.

In addition, Dyachenko heads ZAO PromTekhInvest, which manages the estate on Rublevka, donated to a fund associated with Medvedev.

The fourth fund, allegedly associated with Medvedev (in addition to "Gift", "Gradislava" and "Sotsgosproekt"), is the Fund for Support of Winter Olympic Sports. Its supervisory board is headed by the Prime Minister's classmate Ilya Eliseev. Nominally, the fund is owned through the Meritazh Management Company by Vitaly Golovachev, an employee of the Dar fund, which owns the Sotsgosproekt fund.

In 2014, the House for Receptions of Official Guests was donated to the foundation. "Psekhako" - a luxurious winter residence in the mountains. Psekhako is a mountain range in the vicinity of Krasnaya Polyana. Judging by the photos from Instagram, Medvedev is there regularly. And judging by the data from the mail, which FBK refers to, the prime minister personally gives out instructions on the management, recruiting and procurement of this facility.

The FBK also uncovered another corruption episode related to the prime minister. In 2011, when Medvedev was still the head of state, the Presidential Property Management Department sold plot of land of 20 hectares near the village of Maslovo on the Rublevo-Uspenskoe highway of the Garant Club company for a song - 200 times cheaper than the market value. On the territory of the land plot there is a huge house, something similar to a sports complex, farm buildings and a helipad.

Garant Club is a subsidiary of the Financial and Consulting Firm of the Dar Foundation, the very same FinConsultingK (FCC), which provided the Mansurovo agricultural complex with a mortgage on the land under the estate.

Previously, FKK was wholly owned by the Dar Foundation, and then it was re-registered as the property of the Winter Olympic Sports Support Fund (to which the winter residence in Psekhako was donated). The director and founder of the "Guarantor Club" at the time of the transaction was another classmate of Medvedev, Aleksey Dolgushevsky, according to Navalny's website.

In addition, FBK claims to have uncovered two criminal schemes for obtaining valuable assets in the Krasnodar Territory. People allegedly connected with Medvedev took over plot of land in Utrish and boarding house in Olginka, and fake competition in tenders in both cases was provided by firms controlled by the director of Sotsgosproekt, Alexey Chetvertkov.

In 2009, the firm "Tsertum-Invest", founded by a student of Medvedev's classmate, Philip Polyansky, acquired a luxurious mansion of Count Kushelev-Bezborodko of the 18th century in the center of St. Petersburg... Then the Dar Foundation (which owned the Milovka estate in Ples) became the owner of the building. Polyansky headed the Dar Foundation for several years. Currently, the mansion has turned into an elite building with 29 apartments with swimming pools, indoor spa complexes, garages, security guards, and car lifts.

Six of these apartments worth a billion rubles are owned by the Dar Foundation. 23 were owned by Tsertum-Invest. The commercial premises on the first floor of the mansion are occupied by the FKK company, which is owned by the Fund for the Support of Winter Olympic Sports and has given the land in a mortgage to the Mansurovo agricultural complex.

FBK also found out that the Cypriot offshore Furcina Limited, owned by Medvedev's classmate Ilya Eliseev, owns two sea yachts totaling $ 16 million. Employees of the anti-corruption foundation found photographs in which expensive boats are moored near the Milovka estate in Ples, which Medvedev uses as his residence. Both yachts are named "Fotinia", which is the church analogue of the name Svetlana (this is the name of Medvedev's wife). FBK analyzed the cases of using a more expensive yacht and it turned out that they were all connected with Medvedev.

According to FBK, in 2012, the same offshore company for which Dmitry Medvedev's yacht is registered bought 100% of the Italian company FATTORIA DELLA AIOLA S.r.l., which owns and manages its own vineyards and wine production in Tuscany... For $ 10 million, an offshore company associated with the prime minister of the Russian Federation acquired 100 hectares of vineyards and olive groves, a wine production and even an old villa. After the purchase, Sergei Stupnitsky became the manager of the winery, who had previously worked as the director of another winery associated with Medvedev - the Anapa "Rocky Coast".

The Anti-Corruption Foundation Alexei Navalny has published a film and investigation about Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. In a 50-minute video, the opposition politician talks about the "secret assets" of the former president of Russia and a network of non-profit foundations that own multibillion-dollar real estate properties.

Thus, according to FBK, Medvedev is associated with the Gradislava, Dar and Sotsgosproekt funds, which own real estate worth tens of billions of rubles. Employees of the Anti-Corruption Foundation have linked with Medvedev the Milovka estate in Ples, a residence in the Kursk region and the Mansurovo agricultural enterprise, vineyards in the Anapa area, a secret residence in Krasnaya Polyana, and a mansion in St. Petersburg.

As Alexei Navalny says at the beginning of the film "He's not Dimon for you", Dmitry Medvedev himself helped the investigation, who actively posts photos on Instagram. In addition, FBK relied on data from the Prime Minister's phone, laid out by Humpty Dumpty hackers. The fund's specialists managed to correlate purchases in online stores found in the hacked mail, and things in which Dmitry Medvedev was at official events and got into the lens of photographers.

The investigation mentions businessman Alisher Usmanov, who, according to open sources, donated expensive real estate to the funds affiliated with Dmitry Medvedev. The video is accompanied by aerial photography. Spectators can see how elite estates are arranged behind high fences. In addition, FBK journalists found two elite yachts worth a billion rubles, named the same - “Fotinia”, from the firm “Investment Sodruzhestvo” LLC controlled by Dmitry Medvedev's classmate Ilya Eliseev. Anti-corruption fighters claim that it was from the side of this yacht that Medvedev took photos on Instagram.

Navalny claims that the real estate in Italy, which belongs to Furcina LTD, also controlled by Ilya Eliseev, is used by the Prime Minister and his wife. FBK assumes that in this country, Medvedev controls a villa and vineyards.

“It is time for our investigation to summarize, and it is very sad. The former president, incumbent prime minister and leader of the ruling United Russia party has almost openly created a corrupt network of charitable foundations through which he receives bribes from oligarchs and maniacally builds palaces and dachas for himself all over the country. Buys yachts and medieval castles abroad. He doesn't hide much. Thousands of people are involved in the maintenance of Medvedev's schemes and his real estate. These secret palaces are guarded by the state secret services, ”writes Navalny, and blames corruption and President Vladimir Putin for the country's poverty.

Note that in 2016, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev amounted to 8.8 million rubles. Dmitry Medvedev's wife Svetlana earned nothing in a year.

The Anti-Corruption Foundation Alexei Navalny has published a large investigation about the "secret empire" of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. In particular, it says that the head of government controls several charitable foundations to which 70 billion rubles were transferred, including, according to Navalny, bribes from entrepreneurs Alisher Usmanov and Leonid Mikhelson.

"The head of the ruling United Russia party owns real estate throughout the country, he owns huge plots of land in the most elite areas, he manages yachts, apartments in old mansions, agricultural complexes and wineries in Russia and abroad," FBK says.

FBK video about Medvedev's "secret empire":

Another investigation about Medvedev, but not so large-scale, FBK in September last year.

March 2, 15:13 "Navalny's material has a pronounced pre-election character, which he himself says at the end of the video. It is pointless to comment on the propaganda attacks of an oppositional and convicted character, who said that he is already conducting some kind of election campaign and is fighting the government," -secretary Medvedev Natalia Timakova.

March 2, 16:54 The investigation was commented on by the general director of Seim-Agro JSC Andrei Medvedev, whom the FBK calls the prime minister's cousin.

Andrey Medvedev<...> told RBC that "from the specified person [Dmitry Medvedev] he did not receive any help or interference." "If it were really like a true patriot of our state, I would be truly sad. Such accusations have no basis. This is fiction and folklore," he is sure.

Andrei Medvedev refused to confirm to RBC his relationship with the Russian prime minister. "This is a purely personal question, I do not consider it necessary to answer it," he said.

Also, according to him, “at the moment, Seim-Agro has nothing to do with ZAO Kurskproteplitsa. In the investigation, FBK Kurskproteplitsa was named as the main founder of Seim-Agro.” I have nothing to do with this ["Kurskproteplitsa"] enterprise. Except that it is 100 meters from my facility. Earlier, maybe, there was some kind of relationship. But at the moment I am not ready to confirm anything to you. I can say that they are not there now, "said Andrei Medvedev.

RBK


Meanwhile, FBK director Roman Rubanov sent a statement to the Investigative Committee demanding to initiate a criminal case against Dmitry Medvedev and businessman Alisher Usmanov under Articles 290 (bribery) and 291 (bribe-giving) of the RF Criminal Code. In addition, Rubanov asks to initiate a criminal case under Article 160 (embezzlement) in connection with the investments of the Dar regional non-commercial projects fund.
The statement (Rubanov) says that the fund, which is engaged in the formation of property, according to the law, has no right to dispose of it except for the purposes that are determined by its charter, for example, transfer it to third parties without receiving equivalent compensation. Among the goals of the fund are social support and protection of disabled people, satisfaction of spiritual and other non-material needs of citizens, environmental protection, etc.

"Vedomosti"


March 3, 09:28 Ilya Eliseev, who appears in the investigation as a former classmate of Medvedev and the formal owner of a number of assets of his "secret empire", said that the "Dar" foundation is not associated with Medvedev.
The fund, which received the estate on Rublevka as a gift from Alisher Usmanov, is not associated with Dmitry Medvedev, says a classmate of the Prime Minister. "The recent news leaks are an example of obvious political propaganda and have no real basis," Ilya Eliseev said in a statement received by Vedomosti in response to a request to comment on FBK's investigation into the activities of companies allegedly linked to the prime minister.

Eliseev is the chairman of the supervisory board of the Dar Foundation, the Fund for Support of Socially Significant State Projects (Sotsgosproekt), the Fund for Support of Winter Olympic Sports and the Fund for Social and Cultural Initiatives (FSKI). Since its inception in 2008, the post of president of the FSKI has been held by the wife of the prime minister, Svetlana Medvedeva.

"Commercial and non-profit organizations, in which I act as a shareholder, founder or leader, are engaged in business and other activities permitted by law in my interests or for charitable purposes. These legal entities are not associated with any of the politicians or government officials," he emphasizes in his statement Eliseev.

"Vedomosti"


March 3, 13:52 Press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, like Medvedev's press secretary Natalya Timakova, commenting on the FBK material, called Navalny "convicted."

“No details, not familiar with (the investigation). Media reports have seen. This is not the first example of the work of this well-known convicted citizen,” Interfax quotes Peskov. “There is nothing to add to what was said by the press secretary of the Prime Minister.

The Alexei Navalny Anti-Corruption Foundation has published a large investigation into prime minister Dmitry Medvedev's luxury real estate.

So, the organization claims that Medvedev received a gift from businessman Alisher Usmanov "a palace on Rublevka".

FBK, in particular, claims that the Dar, Gradislava, Sotsgosproekt funds act in the interests of Medvedev and de jure own the property that actually belongs to the Prime Minister.

According to FBK, Medvedev's "secret assets" are managed by Vladimir Dyachenko.

Navalny tied Dyachenko and Medvedev on orders of sneakers and shirts

As one of the proofs that it is Dyachenko who manages Medvedev's assets, Navalny points to the sneakers and shirt in which the prime minister appeared in public. From the hacked mail of Medvedev, it became known that he, presumably, uses a postal address for personal purchases on the Internet, orders were delivered by Dyachenko.

FBK discovered the order of sneakers Nike and shirts Fred perry and Beams plus, in which the prime minister subsequently appeared in public.

“Medvedev chooses clothes himself, and orders the delivery in the name of a trusted person - Vladimir Dyachenko. And this same Dyachenko is the director of the company that owns the Kursk lands and the Anapa vineyards of Medvedev, ”Navalny believes.

“The controlling shares of the Mansurovo agricultural complex and the Skalisty Bereg vineyards in Anapa are registered with Dyachenko's firms. The same person is in charge of the daily management of the Rublev estate in Znamenskoye, which he received as a gift from Alisher Usmanov, ”continues FBK.

FBK has listed the property of funds allegedly controlled by Medvedev

FBK, in particular, claims that the “Dar”, “Gradislava”, “Sotsgosproekt” funds act in the interests of Medvedev; they are used to register property that actually belongs to the prime minister.

The organization claims that Medvedev - through the Fund for Support of Socially Significant Projects - received a gift from businessman Alisher Usmanov "a palace on Rublevka". Navalny calls this gift a bribe.

Navalny also demonstrated an estate with an area of \u200b\u200b240 thousand square meters in Mansurovo, Kursk region, owned by Medvedev's classmate and business partner Ilya Eliseev.

“This is a guest house for our employees. Dmitry Anatolyevich sometimes stops there when he arrives in Mansurovo, well, he needs to stop somewhere, not to drive him 60 km to Kursk, to a hotel! You should see this residence - a one-story wooden building of superior comfort ”, - quotes FBK Eliseev. These lands belong to the Mansurovo agricultural complex, among whose leaders is the Prime Minister's cousin Andrei Medvedev.

FBK also calls “a private residence built personally for Dmitry Medvedev”, a huge recreation center Psekhako in Krasnaya Polyana with a house of over 4 thousand square meters. The bath complex occupies a thousand square meters in the house. The total cost of the complex is 7 billion rubles.

In addition, the Sotsgosproekt fund owns the Skalisty Bereg company with a plot of 985 thousand square meters in the Krasnodar Territory. There are vineyards on this territory; tourists are not allowed there, according to FBK. At the same time, there is a quote from an independent wine expert Artur Sargsyan.

“And here the exclusivity of this project becomes clear. The relief here is such that if you stand with your back to the sea, you can imagine yourself in Tuscany. The soft outline of the hills, on the slopes of which are even rows of vineyards. Exceptionally beautiful! In short, the approach to the project is very serious. I think that everything near the Rocky Coast will eventually be as it should be, ”the sommelier said.

The current director of the company, Andrei Skok, is said to have previously managed the Chateau de Talu winery in Gelendzhik, which is attributed to the wife of the Minister of Agriculture Olga Tkacheva.

FBK showed the alleged winter residence of Medvedev in Krasnaya Polyana

Another organization, the Fund for Support of Winter Olympic Sports, owns the Psekhako residence, which is included in the federal program of preparation for the Olympic Games in Sochi.

“There are several buildings on four hectares of protected land, including a residence of 4,000 square meters. As in the story of Medvedev's dacha in Plessk, at the stage of the Olympic construction, the land lease was registered with the Dar fund. At the end of 2014, the property was donated to an unknown Winter Olympic Sports Support Fund, ”FBK reports.

The fund's supervisory board is headed by Ilya Eliseev, who also participates in the activities of other funds mentioned by Navalny.

“Dmitry Medvedev regularly visits this residence, which is proved by the photos on his instagram. He personally issues management, recruiting and procurement directions for this facility. For at least three years he has been breaking the law by not declaring this property, ”the authors of the investigation summarize.

Navalny: Medvedev funds twice won land tenders with fictitious competitors

Structures presumably acting in the interests of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev have twice won land tenders, FBK claims.

The authors of the investigation report that both cases occurred in the Krasnodar Territory. In the first case, the competition was won by Nautilus, which is owned by Dmitry Solovyov, one of the founders and director of the Svetlana Medvedeva Social and Cultural Initiatives Fund (FSKI), and its only competitor was Topgarden, run by Alexei Chetvertkov, director of Sotsgosproekt.

In the second case, the Dar fund won the competition from the Russian Broker company, which is also managed by Chetvertkov.

Thus, according to FBK, Medvedev's structures received ownership of the plot of the former rest house of the Presidential Administration near the village of Olginka and a plot in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Utrish peninsula.

“Both times resorting to criminal schemes: fake competition in tenders was provided by controlled firms. The similarity of these stories, their connection with the administration of the Krasnodar Territory, the Presidential Property Management Department, as well as with the fund of Medvedev's wife allow us to assert that Dmitry Anatolyevich himself was the beneficiary of these transactions, ”concludes FBK.

FBK: MC "Dar" received money from businessmen and on credit from Gazprombank

In his investigation, Navalny explains how the Dar fund received money to buy a dacha near Ples, houses on Rublevka, a mountain residence and other real estate, as well as vineyards.

Thus, businessmen Leonid Mikhelson and Leonid Simanovsky donated 33 billion rubles to the fund. Alisher Usmanov "contributed by the estate - 5 billion rubles."

FBK also says that the Dar fund has a management company, Orion, formerly the Dar UK. In 2007, Gazprombank gave her a loan of 11 billion rubles - for two years, "Dar" became the bank's largest borrower. The main confidant of Medvedev, Ilya Eliseev, is the deputy chairman of the board of Gazprombank.

Bashneft's structures, according to FBK, loaned Dar 3 billion rubles; in total, the fund received 20 billion rubles in small loans from various organizations.

“In total, the documents reveal about 70 billion rubles,” Navalny says in the video.

FBK: Medvedev owns a million square meters of vineyards in Italian Tuscany

As follows from the FBK investigation, the Cyprus offshore Furcina Limited owned by Ilya Eliseev, a member of the board of directors of Gazprombank, a fellow student, manager of all funds and the main confidant of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. According to the register, in 2012 this offshore company bought an Italian company Fattoria Dell Aiola S.r.l.

This company owns and operates its own vineyards and wine production in Italian Tuscany. Thus, together with a company worth almost $ 10 million, the offshore got 1 million square meters (100 hectares) of Tuscan vineyards, olive groves and forests, as well as several thousand square meters of industrial premises and an old villa with 30 rooms.

The winery's website states that in 2012 the company was bought by Russian entrepreneurs. There you can also find the name of the general manager - this is Sergei Stupnitsky, director of the "Rocky Coast" - vineyards near Anapa.

FBK: the Dar Foundation bought the palace of Count Kushelev-Bezborodko in St. Petersburg, now there are elite apartments

In 2009, the mysterious company "Tsertum-Invest" acquired the ownership of a historic house in St. Petersburg - the pink marble palace of Count Kushelev-Bezborodko on Gagarinskaya Street with an Italian Renaissance facade.

The only founder of the company was a certain Philip Polyansky, who did not disclose the names of partners. A few months later it became known that the mansion had a co-owner - the Dar Foundation. According to FBK, the fund was headed by Polyansky for several years; he is a student of the previously mentioned Ilya Eliseev.

In 2016, after a long renovation, the building was commissioned: now it is an elite club house with 29 apartments; some apartments have car lifts. "Dar" owns six apartments, the market value of which is about a billion rubles.

The non-residential premises in the house are owned by FinconsultingK, which, according to FBK, financed the purchase of land for an estate in the Kursk region.

Navalny: Medvedev called the yachts "Fotinia" twice after the church name of his wife

The FBK discovered that at different times there were two yachts, which were called "Fotinia", in the property of structures presumably connected with Medvedev.

“Fotinia is a church version of the name Svetlana. In Orthodoxy, the name Svetlana was considered forbidden for a long time and at baptism it was changed to Fotinia. So both yachts are named after Svetlana. An amazing coincidence, ”says FBK founder Alexei Navalny.

The total cost of the yachts, according to Navalny, is $ 16 million. Both of them are registered with the company of Ilya Eliseev, who was repeatedly mentioned in the FBK investigation.

These are yachts of models Princess 85 MY and Princess 32M... The first, as noted by FBK, was photographed on the Volga near Medvedev's alleged residence in Ples. The second was used later.

“The beginning of the operation of the yacht can be considered June 17, 2015. This is exactly one week from the date of customs clearance. On this day, the yacht turned on AIS... From that moment to this day, the yacht sailed to Ples four times: in July and September 2015, as well as in July and September 2016. The September visits coincide with Medvedev's birthday - he is with him on September 14, and in July, apparently, the prime minister simply opens the summer cottage season, ”FBK reports.

As proof that it is Medvedev who is using the yacht, FBK cites a photo from the "Scarlet Sails" holiday in St. Petersburg, which was posted on the Prime Minister's Instagram. In terms of angle, Navalny suggested that the picture was taken from the river, although during the celebration, navigation on the Neva is prohibited.

“It can't be that one special exception is made for one special yacht, can it? let's watch the video from the event and we will immediately see a mysterious silhouette that catches the eye, ”continues FBK.

At the 2:23:40 mark in the video, you can see the silhouette of the yacht, which, as FBK suggested, is Medvedev's “Fotinia”.

Medvedev's press secretary declined to comment on the investigation of the "opposition and convicted character"

The investigation of the Anti-Corruption Foundation about Dmitry Medvedev's “residences” is “pre-election”, RBC quotes the comment of the press secretary of the Prime Minister Natalia Timakova.

“Navalny's material has a pronounced pre-election character, which he himself says at the end of the video,” Timakova said, unexpectedly mentioning Navalny's name. According to the established tradition, Russian officials try not to name the founder of FBK by name. "It is pointless to comment on the propaganda attacks of the opposition and convicted character who said that he is already conducting some kind of election campaign and is fighting the government."

FBK wrote a statement to the Investigative Committee against Medvedev and Usmanov about receiving and giving a bribe

Director of the Anti-Corruption Foundation Roman Rubanov sent a statement to the Investigative Committee against Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and businessman Alisher Usmanov, Vedomosti reports.

The statement claims that in August 2010, Usmanov transferred a land plot in the village of Znamenskoye for 5 billion rubles to the Fund for the Support of Socially Significant State Projects, allegedly associated with Medvedev.

"Since Usmanov's entrepreneurial activity is significantly related to government contracts, as well as to the regulatory and non-regulatory legal acts adopted by Medvedev in relation to legal entities affiliated with Usmanov, there is reason to believe that the above transfer of real estate worth 5 billion rubles is a bribe," statement.

Rubanov asks to initiate proceedings under Articles 290 of the Criminal Code (taking bribes) and 291 of the Criminal Code (giving bribes). In another statement, the FBK director asked to initiate a case under Article 169 of the Criminal Code (embezzlement) in connection with the activities of the Dar Foundation, which, according to FBK, also acts in the interests of Medvedev.

The document says that the fund has no right to dispose of property other than for the purposes defined by its charter, for example, it cannot transfer it to third parties without compensation. “Dar”, according to FBK, in 2014 transferred to the Gradislav Foundation a plot in Ples, where, according to the founder of the foundation, Alexei Navalny, is the residence of Medvedev. It is also alleged that the Dar donated a building in the village of Esto-Sadok to the Fund for the Support of Winter Olympic Sports.

Rubanov explained to Vedomosti that he had submitted applications through the electronic reception of the Investigative Committee, they were assigned numbers 473586 and 473584. He sent similar statements to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Justice and the Presidential Administration.

Medvedev's alleged brother claims he "received neither help or hindrance" from the prime minister

Seim-Agro CEO Andrei Medvedev commented to RBC on an investigation by the Anti-Corruption Foundation, which claims that he, being a cousin of the Prime Minister, is one of the leaders of the foundation, which owns the alleged residence of the head of government.

According to him, "from the side of the specified person [Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev], he received neither help nor interference."

“If it were really so, as a true patriot of our state, I would be truly saddened. Such accusations are groundless. This is fiction and folklore, ”he is sure.

"This is a purely personal question, I do not consider it necessary to answer it," Medvedev replied to a request to comment on his relationship with the prime minister.

Companion of Navalny told how the investigation of Medvedev's property was conducted

In an interview with Meduza, the co-author of the Anti-Corruption Foundation's investigation into the alleged property of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev told Meduza how the opposition came to the conclusion that the residences and yachts belong to the head of government.

“In Psekhako, we photographed the pipes of a country house in the mountains with the help of a drone and compared them with those that Medvedev posts on his Instagram. These are the same pipes. Regarding the yacht - we have found the geolocation of this yacht in the last two years. She went to Ples four times, where Medvedev has his residence, and twice to the "Scarlet Sails" holiday in St. Petersburg. This is a holiday of graduates, a beautiful event, fireworks. Shipping is closed there at this moment. The only yacht for which an exception was made is the yacht "Fotinia", with which Medvedev took his photographs and also posted them. All of this is iron evidence, "says Alburov.

He noted that an important role in the investigation was played by a quadrocopter, from which FBK employees filmed the alleged residences of Medvedev. The investigation lasted six months, it involved up to four people, six more worked on "website, video, graphics, music, and so on."

In addition, Alburov, that the fund was “very helpful” by a pair of sneakers, through which the FBK concluded that Medvedev had ties to Vladimir Dyachenko, who allegedly manages the prime minister's assets.

FBK claims that funds allegedly connected with Medvedev do not submit reports in violation of the law

The funds, which the Anti-Corruption Foundation suspects of managing the assets of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, are not submitting reports in violation of the law, Georgy Alburov, co-author of the FBK investigation, told Meduza.

When asked by a journalist about whether FBK got acquainted with the documents of charitable organizations, Alburov replied:

“This is an interesting question in the sense that we do not know - they do not publish their reports. They do not submit reports to the Ministry of Justice, as required by law. Our foundation leases, but they don't. This is a direct violation of the law. They can be found on the website of the tax inspection, but it is difficult to draw correct conclusions from the information from there. "

Regulations on the reporting of charitable foundations are spelled out in Article 19 of the Federal Law "On Charitable Activities and Charitable Organizations".

“For example, they [foundations] put up a cadastral valuation for real estate, and the estate on Rublevka with a market value of two billion rubles is estimated much lower,” continues Alburov.

In his opinion, FBK has “collected enough texture” to answer the question “what does Medvedev have to do with it?”

“How many people in the world are [businessman] Alisher Usmanov giving estates, and even a real palace on Rublevka? Not so much. Medvedev visited and used all these facilities. We are convincingly proving this, ”the co-author of the investigation believes.

He also said that 80% of the schemes related to the alleged property of Medvedev were found in 20% of the time spent on the investigation - six months.

“With the rest it was more difficult - we went from one legal entity to another, we see no connection. Then people from one of our schemes suddenly found themselves connected with companies from a completely different part of the scheme. It began to become more complicated, confused, but with each new discovery it was clear: all these people we are talking about are directly related to Dmitry Medvedev, ”he says.

"United Russia" called the investigation "a futile attempt" by Navalny to remind about himself

FBK's investigation of Dmitry Medvedev is a “futile attempt” by Alexei Navalny to remind about himself, about this, as “Rain,” Yevgeny Revenko, deputy secretary of the United Russia General Council, told reporters.

“The party believes that commenting on the statements and opuses of a person whom the court has repeatedly recognized as a criminal is at least strange. It is well known that all the so-called investigations of this man ended in nothing, that is, nothing. This is all another and futile attempt to remind you of yourself. Moreover, the results of the latest public opinion polls are a verdict for him, ”Revenko is sure.

The person involved in the investigation of FBK Eliseev: the Dar Foundation is not associated with Medvedev

The Dar charitable foundation, which received an elite house on Rublevka as a gift from businessman Alisher Usmanov, has nothing to do with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, according to a message sent to Vedomosti by his classmate Ilya Eliseev.

"The recent news leaks are an example of obvious political propaganda and have no real basis," said Eliseev, who holds the post of chairman of the supervisory board of the Dar Foundation, the Fund for the Support of Socially Significant State Projects (Sotsgosproekt), the Winter Olympic Sports Support Fund and Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives (FSKI). Since its foundation in 2008, the last fund has been managed by the Prime Minister's wife Svetlana Medvedeva.

“Commercial and non-commercial organizations in which I act as a shareholder, founder or manager, are engaged in business and other activities permitted by law in my interests or for charitable purposes. These legal entities are not connected with any of the politicians or government officials, ”Eliseev is sure.

Peskov called the FBK investigation "not the first example of Navalny's creativity"

An investigation by the Anti-Corruption Foundation Alexei Navalny about prime minister Dmitry Medvedev's elite real estate "is not the first example of the work of this famous convicted citizen," said presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov. It is reported by the TV channel "Rain".

“This is not the first example of the creativity of this famous convicted citizen. There is nothing to add to what was said by the press secretary of the Prime Minister, "- quotes Peskov" Rain ".

The presidential press secretary noted that the Kremlin is not familiar with the FBK investigation about Medvedev in detail, but "they saw media reports."
