Igor Shuvalov. Olga Viktorovna Shuvalova: biography, photo, personal life Biography of Olga Shuvalova, wife of Igor Shuvalov

In 2008, HOUSEWIFE Olga Shuvalova managed to earn an income of 365 million rubles, in 2009 - at the height of the crisis - 642 million rubles, and last year - another 372.9 million rubles. Together with her husband, they have seven cars, including three Mercedes and a jaguar. But the main thing is not this. Igor Ivanovich, as you know, oversees the Skolkovo project in the government. A large amount of land is to be purchased for this project. 250 hectares of land around Skolkovo belongs to a certain Zarechye-Development LLC. The owner of Zarechye-Development LLC is Olga Shuvalova.

What does Olga Shuvalova have in common with Roman Abramovich?

Last year, the wife of First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, Olga, surprised everyone with her earnings for 2008, which amounted to 365 million rubles, that is, one million rubles a day. Its income for 2009 amounted to 641.9 million rubles. Such a sharp increase in income - almost twice - can be explained by the biography of Olga Viktorovna Shuvalova, who, first of all, is not only a breeder of dogs of a rare breed of Welsh Corgi, but a good anti-crisis manager, who during the crisis of late 2008 managed to get part of Roman's assets Abramovich.

Olga Shuvalova was born on March 27, 1966, worked for several years as a secretary in court, and then entered the law faculty of Moscow State University, where she met her husband, Igor Shuvalov. They signed in November 1992. In 1993 she graduated from Moscow State University with a degree in civil law. She got a job at the Institute of State Law of the Academy of Sciences, for some time she worked with her husband at the ALM-consulting company.

Her name rarely appeared on the pages of newspapers: except when, in the salon of Sergei Zverev, she was pulled off a gold ring with a Graff diamond.

Shuvalova lives next door to Suleiman Kerimov at the Brezhnev state dachas in the village of Zarechye, listens to her beloved Vladimir Vysotsky, breeds sphinx cats, but her main love is Gabby the Joy of the Elves, a rare Welsh Corgi dog named Busya. The largest breeder of this breed is the British royal family. Olga actively popularizes this breed, holding the position of chairman of the exhibition commission of the Welsh Corgi NKP. At the forums of dog breeders, she talks about cynological exhibitions, and how she and her dog, "who lived in the Ritz" and "Astoria", "Hilton" and "European", in Vienna, Paris, London, were not allowed into the Polish roadside motel, and they had to sleep in a car on the side of the autobahn.

But the crisis that broke out in the fall of 2008 inspired her to return to business. According to SPARK, Olga Shuvalova became a co-owner of the Zarechye-Development company (she owns 50% of the company, the rest is controlled by Vartan Galustyan, who in the 1990s served as financial director of the Olbi Concern), owning land in the village of the same name in the Odintsovo district, adjoining the Moscow Ring Road, where the Skolkovo business school is located, and it is planned to build a Russian "silicon valley". Before the crisis, the owner of these lands was Roman Abramovich's Norteco Development company, which donated a small plot of its property for the construction of the Skolkovo business school. In the early 2000s, Norteco Development bought the land of the Zarechye state farm, the area of which was 607 hectares.

In 2007, Norteko planned to build a business center in Zarechye. At the public hearings, A.G. Shubin, Head of the Real Estate Department of Millhouse LLC, acted as the representative of the developer. In December 2008, the company had a dispute with the tax authorities and filed a lawsuit with the Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region. The court decision in this case states that Zarechye-Development LLC of Shuvalova and Galustyan became the assignee of Norteko-Development LLC of Roman Abramovich. The new owners revived Abramovich's project, but in addition to the business center, they decided to build a shopping center and a cottage village, which will occupy 20.8 hectares. The project has already been approved by the City Planning Council, and public hearings have also been held. Olga Shuvalova, as she knew that soon the Russian “Silicon Valley” should be located in the immediate vicinity of her possessions, therefore, at the end of 2009, she began to clarify the boundaries of her possessions. According to minimal estimates, Zarechye-Development owns more than 250 hectares near the Skolkovo business school. Whether this territory will be occupied by the Kremlin “innograd” is still unclear.

Shuvalov, quite possibly, continues to expand the boundaries of his possessions. At least, the general director of Zarechye-Development, Ekaterina Muratidis, also heads Skolkovo Dachi LLC, which owns land in the village of Novoivanovskoye, located on the opposite side of the site from Zarechye, on which the construction of a “silicon valley” is planned. In October 2009, the company decided to build a golf club on part of the land, but the project has been put on hold for now. Perhaps with the construction of the "innovative city" these lands will find a better purpose. In addition, Shuvalova's company ArbaTower owns several more plots of land in the Odintsovo district.

However, Shuvalova's interests in development may not be limited to the lands around the Skolkovo business school and the future "silicon valley". In the summer of 2009, the same Muratidis joined the board of directors of the Krasnopresnensky Sugar Refinery, which owns 7 hectares of land on Mantulinskaya Street, next to Moscow City. Previously, this asset was controlled by the PIK Group, but in mid-2009, new offshore companies appeared in the co-owners of the enterprise, which were not seen in the affairs of the PIK Group and its shareholder-savior Suleiman Kerimov.

So it is possible that Olga Shuvalova's income will only grow in the coming years.

Roman Abramovich

Russian businessman, owner of the Chelsea football club

For several years, Appleby's lawyers have been dealing with Russia Forest Products (Bermuda), which controlled RFP, the largest timber holding in the Far East. In August 2008, Roman Abramovich tried to acquire more than a third of Russian Forest Products (Bermuda) for $168 million. “Mr. Abramovich is the sole beneficiary of Zephros Trust, which owns all the shares of Minden Worldwide Limited, which buys 31.17% of the shares [ RFP],” explained a request sent by Appleby to the Bermuda Monetary Authority. The authorities had to approve the deal, but there was an unusual problem - the intended beneficiary was required to fill out a special compliance questionnaire.

Among other questions, this “Personal Declaration” included this: “Have you ever been the subject of a judicial or other official investigation?” Abramovich answered "no", despite the fact that, as Kommersant reported, in 1992 he was a defendant in a criminal case on the use of forged documents to steal 55 railway tanks with diesel fuel.

This error caused a lot of trouble for Appleby employees, follows from their correspondence: “The deal was blocked at the very last moment, the monetary authorities of Bermuda decided that they would not give consent to the acquisition of beneficial ownership by Roman Abramovich.<…>Unfortunately, he incorrectly answered one of the important questions.<…>This led to them requiring us to conduct additional due diligence or withdraw the application. We chose the second.<…>in BVI ( British Virgin Islands -D.V.) such problems are unlikely to arise.

Appleby found an excellent solution: if the regulator shows integrity in Bermuda, then you can choose another jurisdiction where the authorities are more accommodating. At the same time, judging by the correspondence, the same “Personal Declaration” of Roman Abramovich went to the Virgin Islands with the same answer to the question about problems with the law. But Appleby's lawyers were right: Russian Forest Products (BVI) soon appeared in the British Virgin Islands.

Roman Abramovich did not respond to a request from Novaya Gazeta.

Vladimir Blotsky

Deputy of the State Duma from the "KPRF"

The archive contains several documents about the accounts of the Uruguayan company Blackfil S.A. Vladimir Blotsky is listed as the director of this firm, and his father and wife are listed as related persons. The reports date back to 2006, there are no more relevant documents in the archive.

The company of the same name - Blackfil SA Ltd - also operates in the Czech Republic. Since 2006, it belonged to Blotsky, but last year, less than a week before the Duma elections, it was transferred to the father of the deputy, Nikolai Blotsky.

In his election declaration, Vladimir Blotsky indicated 329 million rubles of annual income from participation in several enterprises, but foreign companies are not mentioned there.

Vladimir Blotsky did not respond to Novaya Gazeta's request.

Nikolai Egorov

lawyer, founder of the law firm "Egorov, Afanasiev, Puginsky and partners"

In 2015, Yegorov acquired 20% of the Antipinsky Oil Refinery (ANPZ), the largest private oil refinery in Russia. RBC previously wrote about this deal, and Appleby files help complete the picture. Since all 100% of the ANPZ shares were pledged to Sberbank under a loan of $1.8 billion, the deal required bank approval. A representative of Nikolai Yegorov asked Appleby to help with the wording: “The tasks are to (1) describe the mechanism for the transfer of shares with the details necessary for the calmness of the bank and (2) make it general enough so that we can adhere to it,” his letter said.

A 20% stake was transferred from Dmitry Mazurov's Vikay Industrial Limited (founder of the Atyrau Refinery) to the Seychelles-based MainProjects Corporation. A special clause in the document obliged MainProjects to self-destruct immediately after the transaction and transfer the shares to its sole shareholder. At the initial stage of negotiations, this shareholder was Nikolai Egorov. Dmitry Mazurov confirmed to RBC that an influential lawyer from St. Petersburg is a co-owner of the ANPZ.

Nikolai Yegorov did not respond to Novaya Gazeta's request.

Alexey Ezubov

since 2007, deputy of the State Duma from United Russia

Before joining the State Duma, Alexei Ezubov was an entrepreneur, had assets in the agricultural and hotel businesses, which, after his election, were transferred to his son. According to the income statement, Yezubov is not rich: in 2016, he earned a little more than 5 million rubles.

Ezubov is called the uncle (mother's brother) of the aluminum tycoon Oleg Deripaska.

Until at least 2013, Yezubov was a director at Air Cloud Services Limited, a company registered in Bermuda, according to Appleby documents. This is the holding company for which the private jet is registered.

The ultimate owner of Air Cloud Services Limited is Oleg Deripaska's mother, Valentina. In 2013, on behalf of the company, Yezubov signed a resolution to open a branch on the Isle of Man in order to import a business jet to Europe on "favorable" terms in terms of VAT, that is, without paying tax.

Under Russian law, deputies are expressly prohibited from engaging in entrepreneurial activities, joining the governing bodies of companies, participating in meetings of the board of directors, making management decisions and signing resolutions. For violation of the law, disqualification is provided.

Alexei Ezubov did not respond to Novaya Gazeta's request.

Igor Shuvalov

First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Government since 2008

Igor Shuvalov's wife Olga is listed in Appleby's files as the beneficiary of Altitude X3 Ltd., a Bermuda-based company founded in 2008. The company owns a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 aircraft with registration number M-VQBI (formerly VQ-BIS).

It was in this business jet, according to an investigation by FBK Alexei Navalny, that Shuvalov's wife took famous corgi dogs to exhibitions around the world.

It follows from the Appleby documents that Swiru Holding AG and Nariman Gadzhiev were originally shareholders of Altitude X3 Ltd. It has been repeatedly written about Swiru that the holding is connected with Suleiman Kerimov, and Gadzhiev was even called a relative of the senator.

In June 2009, Sergey Kotlyarenko, Igor Shuvalov's asset manager, becomes the director and vice president of Altitude X3. And only 8 months later, in February 2010, Olga Shuvalova's offshore Radcliff Business Limited becomes the owner of the company to which the aircraft is registered. The list of Appleby's Russian contacts dated 2014 also includes the name of Yevgeny Shuvalov, the vice-premier's son.

Under what conditions the company and the private jet could pass from Kerimov's people to Shuvalov's relatives, Appleby's files do not say.

According to a source familiar with the situation, the Altitude X3 company did previously belong to the people of Suleiman Kerimov, but the senator himself has nothing to do with buying the aircraft. Asset managers Shuvalov and Kerimov knew each other, and therefore, when it became necessary to acquire a company to register the aircraft, they turned to acquaintances. Yes, during the first six months the plane formally belonged to Kerimov's people, but the main thing here is that Shuvalov, both then and now, always paid for the flights from his family's accounts, and later the plane was purchased from them. About the declaration. It did not need to be indicated in Shuvalov's declaration, because all flights were paid in accordance with the transportation agreement. In addition, according to the Civil Code, an aircraft is not immovable property unless it is considered as such in the country of registration. This vehicle, that is, the use of it, even if it were, should not be declared.

Alisher Usmanov

businessman, owner of metallurgical and mining enterprises, MegaFon and Kommersant Publishing House

Appleby documents show that when Usmanov headed Gazprom's structure, Gazprom Investholding, she financed and controlled Kanton Services from the British Virgin Islands, which, as it turned out, participated in the purchase of shares in the social network Facebook.

Kanton Services invested in entrepreneur Yuri Milner's investment fund to buy shares in Facebook before the social network skyrocketed with a public offering in 2012.

If before the public offering, Facebook was estimated at $6.5 billion, then after - already at $105 billion.

It was known that Usmanov and Milner acquired up to 10% of Facebook shares in 2009 and sold part of them at the placement, having gained about $1.6 billion, recouping all costs and receiving more than 500 million in net profit, as Forbes reported.

But it was not known that the money of the offshore company of Gazprom's "daughter", which at that time was headed by Usmanov, went to Facebook. Who made money on this?

Literally a month before Facebook's shares skyrocketed, the offshore firm sold its $1 billion stake to Usmanov's company, according to Appleby documents.

Gazprom Investholding told the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) that it provided loans to the offshore firm Kanton Services "for general corporate purposes."

Milner confirmed to the consortium that the firm was investing in one of the investment funds under his management, which was buying shares in Facebook. But he assured that before admitting Kanton to the number of investors, the company underwent a thorough check. Milner stressed that it is difficult to talk about investing Gazprom's money in Facebook, since Kanton could use other sources of funding.

Usmanov's representative told the consortium that his Facebook investment did not use money from state-controlled companies.

The wife of Igor Shuvalov is Olga Viktorovna Shuvalova, a businessman. According to the declarations of 2008-09, Olga Shuvalova is the richest wife of a member of the Russian government. In 2008, Shuvalova's official income amounted to more than 364 million rubles, that is, about a million a day. In 2009, income almost doubled to 642 million rubles. Previously, Olga Shuvalova worked as a secretary in court for internship, then she entered the law faculty of Moscow State University, where she met her future spouse. In 1993, she graduated from the university with a degree in civil law, having got a job at the Institute of State Law of the Academy of Sciences. In 2002, Shuvalova worked at ALM-feldmans, controlled by Alexander Mamut.

According to SPARK, as of May 2004, Shuvalova owned 100% of Arbatauer LLC (wholesale trade and financial intermediation) with an authorized capital of 5 million rubles. Now the company has been liquidated, but, as follows from the results of the state cadastral valuation of land in the Moscow region, the LLC owned a plot of 76,300 square meters. m in the Odintsovo district. In the same district, a non-profit partnership for the operation of residential buildings and the improvement of the local area "Zarechye-4" established by "Arbatauer" was registered.

In Zarechye there is a dacha where the Shuvalovs live (this is the former dacha of L. Brezhnev). According to SPARK data as of March 2010, Olga Shuvalova is a co-owner of Zarechye-Development LLC. She owns 50% of the company, the rest is controlled by Vartan Galustyan, in the 1990s. - Financial Director of the Olbi Concern. Zarechye-Development owns land in the village of the same name in the Odintsovo district, adjacent to the Moscow Ring Road, where the Skolkovo business school is located, and it is planned to build a Russian "silicon valley". According to the online publication Slon .ru, "Zarechye-Development" - the owner of more than 250 hectares near "Skolkovo".

Before the crisis, the owner of these lands was Roman Abramovich's Norteco Development company, which donated a small part of its holdings for Skolkovo. "Norteko" acquired 607 hectares from the lands of the state farm "Zarechye" in the early 2000s, by 2007 it was planned to use the territory for the construction of a business center. In December 2008, the company had a dispute with the tax authorities, and it filed a lawsuit with the Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region. In the court decision in this case, it was clarified that Zarechye-Development LLC of Shuvalova and Galustyan became the legal successor of Roman Abramovich's Norteko-Development LLC. The new owners revived Abramovich's project, but in addition to the business center, they decided to build a shopping center and a cottage village - according to the plan, it was designed for 20.8 hectares. The project was approved by the city planning council, public hearings were held.

On June 7, 2010, the head of the working group of the Skolkovo innovation city project, Viktor Vekselberg, sent a letter to Igor Shuvalov with a request to cut another 103 hectares to Skolkovo "by way of redemption, exchange or other means." Vekselberg cited an assessment by foreign urban planning experts engaged by the fund, who stated that the allocated 375-hectare site "neither in its configuration, nor in its borders, nor in size does not correspond to the technical and economic indicators approved for the project."

In October 2010, several decrees of the government of the Moscow region were issued (in particular, No. 885/48 and No. 886/48), which fixed the land fund seized for state needs and the construction of Skolkovo infrastructure. Including six plots with a total area of 7,199 sq. m, owned by Zarechye-Development LLC. Two plots (1972 sq. m) were supposed by the owner for housing construction, four (5227 sq. m) - for the placement of an administrative-public and trade-car service complex. Similarly, three plots with a total area of 297 sq. m, owned by the non-profit partnership for the operation of residential buildings "Zarechye-4".

On November 12, 2010, the Ministry of Property Relations of the Moscow Region requested quotations for the right to conclude a state contract to assess the value of this land (the application is posted on the website www.gz-mo.ru, notification No. 22). The terms of reference indicate that the valuation should be made at market value, and the redemption price should include lost profits, as well as various losses caused to the owner.

On November 25, 2010, the results of quotations were summed up - the right to evaluate Skolkovo lands was received by AZIRA Group of Companies LLC, which was supposed to conduct an assessment for only 18 thousand 400 rubles and 17 days. Interestingly, four more companies put forward their quotations, but Azira's offer turned out to be the cheapest.The appraisal should have been formed in December 2010, but so far no information on this matter has been found in open sources.

According to experts, the cost of land in this area reaches $1.5-3 million per hectare. On October 12, 2010, two days before the decision of the government of the Moscow Region on the seizure of land from Olga Shuvalova's firms, Igor Shuvalov announced that his wife did not own land in Skolkovo near Moscow. "My wife does not own anything there, she has no business there," Shuvalov said. That is, in this case, either the Unified State Register of Legal Entities is lying, which directly points to the wife of the first deputy chairman of the government of the Russian Federation as the owner of Zarechye-Development LLC, or Shuvalov himself is lying.

At the same time, Igor Shuvalov noted that before entering the public service in 1997, he formed a family fund, which he registered for his wife. And it is from the management of this fund that Olga Shuvalova receives her main income. However, no information about Shuvalova's ownership of any fund in Russia has been found. Perhaps this fund has a foreign registration.

Partners of Olga Shuvalova:

Ekaterina Muratidis is the General Director of Zarechye-Development. Until the beginning of 2009, she also headed Skolkovo Dacha LLC, which owns land in the area of the village of Novoivanovskoye - on the opposite side of the Zarechye side of the site allocated for the domestic "silicon valley".

In the summer of 2009, the same Muratidis joined the board of directors of the Krasnopresnensky Sugar Refinery, which owns 7 hectares of land on Mantulinskaya Street, next to Moscow City. Previously, this asset was controlled by the PIK Group, but in mid-2009 new offshore companies appeared in the co-owners of the enterprise, which were not seen in the operations of the PIK Group and its new shareholder Suleiman Kerimov.

According to SPARK, Muratidis is also listed as the head of Kaffa Industries LLC (coffee processing and supply). The founder of the company is the same Vartan Galustyan, with whom Olga Shuvalova owns Zarechye-Development LLC, three offshore companies and one London company.

It is possible that Shuvalova has something to do with these businesses. .
