Four years ago, Vladimir Putin gave Yuri Borisov the title of Hero of Russia in a secret decree. Borisov was then promoted from deputy defense minister to deputy prime minister for military-industrial complex.
The details of Borisov’s secret achievement are unknown, but reports suggest that he received the title for involvement in creating unique nuclear missiles.
Kommersant.Ru, 07/04/2018, “Nuclear achievements have taken a heroic form”Kommersant reports that President Vladimir Putin awarded the Hero of Russia title to Sergei Kiriyenko, the first deputy head of the presidential administration, and to Yuri Borisov. It is said that they were honored for defense sector achievements, which the president mentioned in his address to the Federal Assembly on March 1.
According to Kommersant, Rosatom is testing a rocket with a nuclear power plant 9M730 Burevestnik, and specialists from the Russian federal nuclear center are involved in the tests on Novaya Zemlya island.
Kommersant’s sources believe that Borisov also received the Golden Star badge for his work on presidential projects related to developing weapons based on new physical principles. Until May 2018, he was Deputy Minister of Defense and oversaw the purchase and development of weapons.
After moving to Roskosmos, Borisov now has closer ties to space, but his activities remain shrouded in secrecy.

Borisov Yuri Ivanovich
Borisov, born on December 31, 1956 in Vyshny Volochek, served in the Armed Forces of the USSR and the Russian Federation in officer positions until 1998. He then took on leadership roles in various organizations before becoming Deputy Minister of Defense and later Deputy Prime Minister of the government. On July 15, 2022, he headed Roskosmos.
For example, it was previously unknown where Borisov, who declared only one property in his possession, actually lived. It was discovered that his personal driver takes him to Rublyovka, not Baikonur, after waving his hand and saying, “Let’s go!”
A small elite company called Novoservis is situated in the village of Gorki-2. The area is filled with pine forests and wealthy neighbors. This is where Borisov's house is located, along with a garage on the same property. However, satellite images also show a garage belonging to the head of Roskosmos, which he never mentioned in his declaration (it's hard to believe that he doesn't use it to park his cars like Mercedes and vintage GAS vehicles somewhere on the premises).
Borisov's estate in Novoservis company. Based on the selling prices of cottages in this area, Borisov's mansion could cost 200 million or even more, depending on the interior decoration, and the owner doesn't seem to be frugal. Just for the construction and installation of a complete transformer substation, the work organizer (Rosseti Moscow Region) asked for almost 2 million rubles from the contractor. The owner of the estate is named Alexander Yuryevich Borisov, according to the tender documentation and extract from Rosreestr, which happens to be the name of the youngest son of the new head of Roskosmos.

Yury Borisov officially earned 21,378,764 rubles and 15 kopecks last year as stated in the real estate and income declaration.

35-year-old millionaire Alexander Borisov is involved in business. In April, he established the Vyborg Group of Companies, which became a co-owner of the National Information Systems software developer.
Borisov Jr. especially collaborates with the scientific and technical center (NTC) Module. His companies Consul and Enexel Group are tenants of the capital's technopark Module. Smartcore JSC, located in the same place, was founded by him along with Modul's CEO Andrey Adamov. They also became co-founders of the Ural branch of the STC 'Innovation Module'.
Meanwhile, the oldest son of the head of Roskosmos, 41-year-old Konstantin Borisov, is not only involved in business (he owns a charging network for carsharing 'Gas Station Operator'), but also has ties to the same Adamov from the Scientific and Technical Center. Together, for instance, they established the company Voronezh Innovative Radio Engineering Devices.
Yuri Borisov himself previously worked at Module back in the eventful 90s when the NTC was part of the defense NPO Vympel and the Research Institute of Radio Instrumentation. Under Borisov's leadership, the share of Vympel in the center's authorized capital decreased to 0.02%, but in January 2003, Yuri Borisov's name appeared on the list of its happy co-owners. Therefore, it is now his company as well.
Home Module
Three years ago, the first neural network accelerator for analyzing images from reconnaissance drones was delivered to the technopolis of the Ministry of Defense in Anapa. At the time, the then-Deputy Prime Minister and former Deputy Minister of Defense, Yuri Borisov, personally requested up to 50 more samples to be put in scientific companies, as the developer was his STC Module.
Integrated circuits for radars, special neural network computers for drones… Borisov’s “Module” is a coveted supplier of high technologies for defense and other government needs. In the White House, it was Borisov who was responsible for this. In the portfolio of only the parent organization STC of state orders for 14 billion rubles. And if we also take the residents of the technopark “Module” … If this was a benefit, then it was mutual. Borisov, even without taking into account the income of his sons, was considered one of the richest officials in Mishustin’s cabinet.
As the Sobesednik found out, the current general director of the STC Andrey Adamov is even literally under the roof of Yuri Borisov, the former general director. In 2017, Borisov copied his old house in Novodarino with an area of 269 m2 (an official never indicated a house of such an area in the declaration) to Ekaterina and Natalia Adamovs – that is the name of Andrei Adamov’s eldest daughter and wife. Judging by the social networks of 23-year-old Ekaterina, the girl regularly travels to elite resorts and unfriendly countries, and at the height of the fighting in Ukraine, she had fun in Dubai. If it is true that Andrey Adamov is Borisov’s half-brother, as the “Company” wrote about, then Ekaterina is the niece of the head of Roskosmos.
The cost of the former Borisov mansion in Novodarino is from 30 to 50 million rubles, but sometimes such purchase and sale transactions are carried out at an inflated price in order to legalize a bribe in this way. When asked by Interlocutor whether this deal was also a form of gratitude for receiving government orders by Module, neither the STC nor Roscosmos answered us. For other questions too.
At the same time – how well the stars converged – almost most of the products of the STC “Module” have a space purpose: on-board computers, equipment for the ISS, receivers for GLONASS … So the appointment of Yuri Borisov to Roskosmos only at first glance looks unexpected. “Module” brought him to Roskosmos a long time ago. It’s just that this time his exit there was already open.

True, the question remains: if, thanks to the “Module” and Borisov, Russia can create excellent drones, why are they seriously discussing the need to purchase drones from some shabby Iran today? And why, despite this, do the stars promise the STC instead of an audit, new generous government contracts, and instead of resignation to Yuri Borisov, who is associated with him, a new family palace that he “uses”? k1
