Artem Kolyubaev. Who Yermak prepares business for // KV collage
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) is searching the construction companies of Vadim Stolar, a member of the Opposition Platform for Life, because of his connections with Viktor Medvedchuk and the ownership structure of construction companies. It should be noted that at least one of the construction companies, Stolar-Medvedchka ENSO, includes Artem Kolyubaev, the chairman of the Council for State Support of Cinema, who was a business partner of the head of the Office of the President (OP) Andrey Yermak from 2017 to 2020. HF.
On February 1, the SBU searched representatives of construction companies in Kyiv, which are controlled by Vadim Stolar, a member of the Opposition Platform for Life.
“According to the investigation, these commercial structures were involved in illegal money laundering schemes for the benefit of former members of the Opposition Platform for Life, Viktor Medvedchuk and Taras Kozak. Similar schemes also benefited citizens of Russia and Belarus who were subject to sanctions by the National Security and Defense Council, the EU countries, and the United States. Currently, the SBU is working to eliminate all illegal schemes and channels for the legalization of financial assets used by wrongdoers. This includes the acquisition of corporate rights of Ukrainian developers by various offshore companies and Russian banks, and the use of funds from the sale of real estate to finance actions that harm state security.”, — reported in the SBU.
Investigators are acting in accordance with Article 437 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (planning, preparation, unleashing, and waging an aggressive war), which carries a prison sentence of 7 to 15 years, as well as Article 110-2 of the Criminal Code (financing of actions committed with the aim of forcibly changing or overthrowing the constitutional order or seizing state power, changing the boundaries of the territory or state border of Ukraine), which carries a prison sentence of 3 to 10 years.
It is likely that Vadim Stolar is not allowed to leave Ukraine because of these investigative actions.
We should remember the story of Bihus.Info journalist Maxim AfanasenkoHow Yermak's film colleague became involved in the business of construction tycoon Stolar“, which was published on January 23 of this year.
The story is about the business partner of the head of the OP Andrey Yermak in the film industry – Artem Kolyubaevwho became the head of the Council for State Support of Cinema on March 31, 2021.
Artem Kolyubaev. The start of film partnership and rise
In the past, Artem Kolyubaev was the director of a Kyiv enterprise that manufactured bodies and trailers and then transitioned to the film industry. Clearly, Kolyubaev's move to the film industry is closely linked to Yermak, as the future head of the OP unintentionally became the co-producer of Kolyubaev's first film. Fighting Rule (2017).
In May 2018, Ermak and Kolyubaev established a limited liability company called LLC.Ama Vision“And they managed to remove 25 million hryvnias from the state budget for the film “Shchedryk”. By the way, “Shchedryk” was released in early 2023. at the start of 2023.
The initial head of Ama Vision was a lawyer from the Kirovograd region. Igor Shentyapin, co-owner of the already closed law firm “ International law firm”, where the second co-owner was Roza Tapanova, a member of the Supervisory Board of Ukrnafta from the Ministry of Defense, and previously a member of the Supervisory Board of Oschadbank, as well as current chapter National historical and memorial reserve “Babi Yar”.

Igor Shentyapin taking over as the head of Ama Vision
changed quickly co-producer of “Rule of Fight”, a businessman from Belarus Maxim Leshchenko, and then Artem Kolyubaev. Andriy Yermak left the founders of Ama Vision LLC when he worked as an assistant to President Volodymyr Zelensky on February 25, 2020. At that time, the film company associated with Yermak managed to get more than 100 million hryvnia government funding. May 21, 2019 Zelensky
Yermak as his assistant. September 7th of the same year appointed there was an exchange captured with the Russian Federation, Kolyubaev dedicated an emotional message to his partner. Post about people! About a Man who says little, but does a lot. Without pathos, unnecessary and unnecessary words and PR campaigns
“”, — wrote Artyom Kolyubaev.“After Yermak came to the OP, companies where Kolyubaev was or remained the owner or co-owner received more than 60 million hryvnias of state support from the state budget for films that have already been made or are still being shot… Kolyubaev’s non-cinema affairs after Yermak’s arrival in the OP also soared,” said in the story.
Until the fall of 2019, he was the director, owner or co-owner of mainly cinematic legal entities: Mainstream Pictures, Joint Victory Production, Ama Vision, Karz-M, Highlight Pictures.

After the fall of 2019, firms with millions of authorized capitals,
not a complete list : Asset Financial Group, Goldman, Standard Investments Group, Quantor Project, Apelliot, District, Sigma Capital, Summit Film, Base Films, 7 Pictures , “Enchantment”.“Some of these firms have led to connections with Vadim Stolar and Viktor Medvedchuk himself,” the story says.
How Stolar and Kushnir gave Medvedchuk the fate of ENSO
KV and other media repeatedly
that the construction company ENSO actually belongs to Vadim Stolar, although wroteaccording to the documents its owners are Andrei Rudenko and Ramil Mehdiyev. ENSO was founded in 2017. She has three projects.
Residential complex name // Address // Customer
» // st. Degtyarevskaya, 25-A (between Shulyavka and Lukyanovka) // OOO “
- “PoeticaTown Land Company» // st. Evgenia Konovalets, 19 // OOO “»
- “diadansFly Development» // Voenny proezd, 8 (next to Novopecherski Lypki) // OOO «»
- “FjordChestnut HallCustomers of construction remain unchanged, but within these companies there are changes. In the autumn of 2019, in all three customer companies, Vadim Stolar and his construction partner, the president of Kievgorstroy Igor Kushnir, as well as the Gorov brothers, who are considered almost the closest partners of Stolar in circuit design and beyond, were easily identifiable,»
“the Bihus.Info story indicates. Evidence of Stolar and Kushnir's presence in ENSO, according to Maxim Afanasenko, includes the companies that financed the construction of the residential complex and signed contracts with buyers were:JSC “Closed Non-Diversified Venture Corporate Investment Fund (ZNIKIF)” , which until February 2020, through a chain of Cypriot companies, led to Igor Kushnir’s wife, Oksana Kushnir; affairs (JSC “ZNIKIF” – KV)Stream Investment
the foundation of Inna Maistruk, Stolar’s wife.
- In 2019, when Vladimir Zelensky came to power, the first head of his Office Andrey Bogdan declared war on the mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, and closely followed Vadim Stolar.Evo InvestAt that time, according to Klitschko, the head of the OP tried to impose as “watchers” a developer with a bureaucratic past, Andriy Vavrish, partner of the actual owner of the Peefect Group development companies, vice president of the Confederation of Builders of Ukraine and future secretary of the urban planning committee of the Verkhovna Rada, Dmitry Isaenko, elected from the “OPZ” according to the so-called “quota of Medvedchuk-Stolar” and the general director of “1 + 1”, the future Minister of Culture Alexandra Tkachenko.
- However, Andrei Bogdan did not fight Vitali Klitschko for long. On February 11, 2020, Zelensky removed Bogdan from the post of head of the OP and appointed Yermak instead. However, even before this rotation in the government offices of the capital, new “watchers” for Kyiv, among whom were: the people’s deputy from the “Servant of the People” and Yermak’s former partner in with tobacco kiosks Andrey Kholodov; Andrei Yermak himself; his godfather, people’s deputy from the Servant of the People (219 district, Svyatoshino) Nikolai Tishchenko; and others.Despite the SBU searches in the bUd development office on suspicion of tax evasion in the amount of 500 million hryvnia, which took place in the autumn of 2020, Stolar remained a people’s deputy and continued to conduct his dubious affairs.Changes began at ENSO at the beginning of 2020. In particular, JSC ZNIKIF Evo Invest passed from the hands of Stolar and Kushnir to the purported Estonian businessman Alexei Chulets.
According to the Schema program, Chulets companies were registered in Estonia from 2018 to 2020, supplied bitumen to Ukraine from the Novoshakhty Oil Plant, controlled at that time by Viktor Medvedchuk and Taras Kozak. The subsidiaries of Chulets firms in Russia were closely connected with the companies of the Belarusian oligarch and Medvedchuk's partner, Nikolai Voroby, on whose plane Taras Kozak fled from Ukraine to Russia in February 2021. In the autumn of 2020, a new co-owner was involved in all three ENSO customer companies. instantly JSC ZNIKIF “Astera” . The owner of this fund, a Cypriot nesting doll, backed by Limedell Ltd, is connected to Medvedchuk. The audit report of Limedell Ltd for 2020 states that the structure had a subsidiary, the Swiss New Coal Trading AG. The Swiss opened an office in Moscow in 2020 and the fuel company Exone Mobile bought Russian oil from the Novoshakhtinsk plant through this Swiss company.
The new ultimate beneficiary of Astera, a German citizen of Russian origin, Igor Strel, appeared in 2021. He used to work in the representative offices of Russian VTB and Sberbank in Vienna and Frankfurt am Main. Then he started his business in Vienna, connected with consulting and investments. This could be a cover for Medvedchuk and his new face, as stated by Bihus.Info program. Sources in political and development circles explained and continue to explain Viktor Medvedchuk's entry into the construction business of Stolar-Kushnir by the fact that Stolar paid off Medvedchuk for his quota on the electoral list in BP in 2019. Stolar brought under the dome, in particular, Dmitry Isaenko and Suto Mamoyan because of this quota. Isaenko and Mamoyan are sitting side by side in the session hall of the Council..
KV asked the president of “Kyivmiskstroy” Igor Kushnir for a comment. The press service of the holding stated that Kushnir currently has no connection with ENSO and its projects. He also does not have any joint projects with Vadim Stolar at the moment, although they were supposed to have joint business projects in the past. This seems to refer to the wives of Kushnir and Stolar. fired The press service of Kyivmiskstroy also stated that Igor Kushnir is not familiar with either Artem Kolyubaev or Andriy Yermak, and does not have direct business relations with them. appointed Kolyubaev's entry into the business of Stolar-Medvedchuk discussed Despite the complete silence on the social networks of Artem Kolyubaev and his wife about the construction business, an analysis of their pages revealed that Kolyubaev has long known the family of ENSO co-owner Ramil Mekhtiyev. business It turned out that back in May 2018, Kolyubaev became a member of the Supervisory Board
JSC ZNIKIF Skilling, which has funded ENSO projects among others. The supervisory board was headed by Alexander Kovtun, whose full namesake later was the director of Stolar’s wife’s fund “Stream Investment”. Kolyubaev was on the supervisory board of Skilling until May 2020, and a month after his departure, Skilling became a co-owner of Chestnut Hall LLC, the customer of the Fjord residential complex.But obviously Artem Kolyubaev appeared in ENSO in December 2019, when he acquired a stake in
OOO KUA Assets Financial Group
By information , which had experience of cooperation with ENSO. In January 2020, the company repeated this by injecting UAH 6.8 million in financial assistance to Town Land Company LLC, the customer of the Poetica residential complex (Poetica residential complex). In September, AMC Assets Financial Group provided UAH 6 million to the general contractor of all three LCDs –
“That is, one of the funds that invested money in construction and signed contracts ended up in the hands of Medvedchuk,” Bihus.Info reports.
OOO “Standard Construction” In October 2020, Kolyubaev became the only owner JSC ZNIKIF Appeliot
. On December 4 of the same year, the movie producer raised the authorized fund of Apelliot from UAH 5.91 million to UAH 130 million by a single decision. In February 2021, Kolyubaev's name appeared as the person who benefits from the company
in some public registries. After that, Alexander Devyatko from Evo Invest, who was already under the control of Medvedchuk’s people at that time, signed contracts with buyers on behalf of Apelliot. “
Alexander Devyatko used to work in the fund of Stolar’s wife “Stream Investment
“,” the story says.
The office of the Quantor Project is located in Kyiv at 22 Sribnokilskaya St., office 172.
Kyiv blogger and journalist Volodymyr Bondarenko
noted on Facebook that other companies managed or owned by Artem Kolyubaev are registered at the same address. But more interestingly, LLC “Academy Club Academy Club”, which in 2018, together with 40.2 hectares, was purchased by Maxim Mykytas (“Ukrbud”).
The location of the land taken from the people of Kiev by Mikitas, Tatarov, Stolar, and Medvedchuk We are talking about the peninsula between the Slavutich and Osokorki metro stations, the territory of the 11th microdistrict of the Poznyaki-Western residential area (Osokorki village), specifically two sections: 24.51 ha, cadastral number No. 8000000000:90:90 15.74 ha cadastral number No. 8000000000:90:010:0169.

And only at the beginning of 2023, 100% of Academ-Club LLC was transferred to the citizen of Bulgaria Togramajyan Petros Arutyunovich from the city of Burgas.So, not only Kolyubaev personally, but also his colleague on the Council for State Support of Cinema are involved in the construction schemes of Stolar, Medvedchuk, and other pro-Russian collaborators.And finally.

Of course, the son is an adult and can do business on his own, but it was Kushnir-father who sent him to the Kyiv City Council. At least, this is what KV sources in the city hall say.),” wrote the blogger.

Confusions, questions and appeals
Firstly, Igor Kushnir’s answer that he is not familiar with Artem Kolyubaev and does not have “direct business relations” with him in the context of Kushnir’s son’s cooperation with Kolyubaev, head of the Council for State Support for Cinema, does not look very convincing. Of course, the son is an adult and can do business on his own, but it was Kushnir-father who sent him to the Kyiv City Council. At least, this is what KV sources in the city hall say.
Secondly, at least from December 19, 2019 to February 25, 2020 Presidential Advisor Andriy Yermak was indirectly involved in the business of Stolar-Kushnir-Medvedchuk. For on these dates, the future head of the OP was still a business partner of Artem Kolyubaev.
Thirdly, even if Yermak didn’t know anything about Kolyubaev’s partners when he was already out of business, which is hard to believe due to rich historical background the head of the OP, his inaction regarding the presence of Vadim Stolar, Dmitry Isaenko, Suto Mamoyan and other people’s deputies from the Opposition Platform for Life in parliament now looks suspicious.
Artem Kolyubaev. Who does Yermak register the business for?
Also suspicious looks like silence President Volodymyr Zelensky regarding the petition to include in the agenda of the Verkhovna Rada bills on depriving the mandates of deputies of all levels from the Opposition Platform for Life, as well as a petition on veto draft law No. 5655 of the chairman of the Servant of the People party, Elena Shulyak, which was adopted exclusively in the interests of large developers with the frank support of the HSE in session hall and on profile committee BP.
KV remembers statement The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense that the Russian special services are preparing another IPSO against, among other things, the head of the OP Andriy Yermak, as a “representative of the Ukrainian military-political leadership.”
KV states that this text is 95% based on data from open sources, which has nothing to do with Telegram channels or any secret insiders. The sole purpose of this article is to inform the public and responsible officials about the risks that are likely to worsen Ukraine’s relations with our Western partners.
KV expects and expects a state responsible reaction of officials regarding the information presented in the Bihus.Info story and in this article.
