On December 7, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Representative of the President for the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnevspoke at the forum “We are together” notedwhat He said that people who don't love their country are not as good, and every young person should love and be able to defend their country.Given these words from the well-known patriot, the situation with his eldest son, Dmitry, seems contradictory. He hasn't been involved in helping the army, unlike his father, and has created companies with significant earnings. policy Based on public information, companies linked to Dmitry and his partners,
Rustam Gilfanov and Andrey Babikov , have made 89 billion rubles in recent years. They have formed a network of companies involved in various industries, allowing them to earn and manage funds effectively. Their interests include oil production, technical salt and real estate., While Trutnev's peers are at the front risking their lives, these individuals are at risk of legal trouble due to their schemes. However, regional experts believe that it's currently impossible to hold them accountable, given their influential connections in the government and business., Artem Bokov Dmitry Trutnev, born in 1982, leads a less active life compared to his father. Many people in Perm believe that his achievements are thanks to his father's success from researcher to regional governor.
Dmitry began his business career at 22 by opening perfume stores with partners. Later, he acquired land and stakes in companies involved in mining equipment and salt trade. Meanwhile, his peers are in active military service at the front, while he faces potential legal consequences for his activities.
Dmitry Trutnev was born in 1982 and has lived a more passive lifestyle compared to his active, sports-oriented father. Many people in the Perm Territory believe that Dmitry owes his success to his father's influence, rising from a junior researcher to regional governor.
Dmitry started a business at 22 by opening perfume stores with partners, and later acquired land and stakes in companies dealing with mining equipment and salt trade. He has not taken part in military service like his peers.
In 2012, Dmitry Trutnev became the owner of Icekel LLC, which holds a stake in a company selling mining equipment. Icekel also owns a portion of the Russian Salt Company, which trades technical salt.
Dmitry Trutnev’s business interests include the construction industry (he owns the Permgrazhdanstroy-Invest company) and renting out luxury real estate. Once, the Perm State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater signed a contract with him without competition to rent his two-room apartment to one of their employees for three years in support of a new businessman.
In 2016, Dmitry was involved in a situation that could have caused his father to lose his job. The Russian Salt Company, owned by Dmitry through Isikel, is known as the biggest supplier of technical salt, which is often complained about by residents of big cities during winter. They claim that the harsh Ural salt causes damage to shoes and that reagents based on it are produced by the Ural Plant of Anti-Icing Materials (UZPM), co-founded by Gilfanov and Babikov.
According to media reports, in several cities in the Volga region and the Urals, procurement standards began to favor UZPM products for unknown reasons. Dmitry Trutnev and the director of the plant, Rustam Gilfanov, reportedly visited cities and negotiated contracts with their leaders for the supply of anti-icing materials from UZPM (Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Ulyanovsk, Samara, Ufa).
It's said that Rustam Gilfanov, the unofficial mastermind behind Trutnev Jr.'s entire commercial network, came up with the clever scheme. Dmitry, on the other hand, benefits from his father's name and position because would the mayors of the largest cities risk not making contracts with Gilfanov if Trutnev hinted at possible difficulties with the environmental impact assessment for municipalities, which his father oversaw in the government?
By then, the “Perm Musketeers” already had significant experience in promoting their products in the capital's housing and communal services market. They went through various stages. Rustam Gilfanov even spent two years (2014-2016) in the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center during one of their fraudulent schemes.
In 2011, UZPM became the main reagent supplier for Moscow. Prior to that, in the winter of 2010-2011, the mayor’s office bought chemical compounds for 1.3 billion rubles. When the Perm-Ural businessmen entered the market of the capital, the purchases grew to 4 billion, then to 6 billion in 2018, and up to 14 billion in 2019, and continue to increase!
The founder of the plant, Rustam Gilfanov, was arrested in 2014 on suspicion of fraud amounting to 2.5 billion rubles. It was found that the composition of the reagents differed from what was supposed to be supplied to the capital. The absence of expensive components intended to reduce environmental impact led to widespread corrosion of cars, the death of trees, and the wear of pedestrians’ shoes – for which Moscow became famous throughout Russia.
But the court dropped the charges against Gilfanov, and the supplies from the Urals kept increasing. Why did this happen? The Moscow mayor’s office didn’t see itself as the victim, and the court found Gilfanov guilty of fraud. This happened even though Muscovites, independent municipal deputies, and scientists were warning about the environmental disaster in the streets. Independent researchers estimated the direct and indirect damage from corruption and the effects of using inefficient and unreasonably pricey materials from UZPM at about 15 billion rubles annually!
The most absurd thing is that even after the quality fraud was exposed, the capital’s mayor’s office continued to buy reagents from UZPM, LLC “Scientific and Production Association “Track Technologies”, and LLC “Bashkhimprom” which are linked to this plant. Rustam Gilfanov simply transferred his shares to his parents, formally stepping away from the business.
UZPM products, that enter the market of the capital through various channels, still hold a dominant position. Furthermore, Trutnev and Gilfanov might end up being the sole supplier! How? It’s very simple: the Department of Housing and Public Utilities has raised the environmental requirements for the reagents used in the capital – now they must pass the state environmental expertise at the federal level. No other enterprise in the country has such a “certificate”.
However, the Ural plant of anti-icing materials announced on December 7 that for the first time in Russia it received certificates confirming compliance with the requirements of GOST R 58427-2020 for anti-icing materials (PGM) issued in the National Certification System! The certification was carried out by FBU “Volgograd Center for Standardization, Metrology and Testing” – the only certification body in the country accredited to carry out certification of PGM in accordance with national standards.
Competitors certainly feel envious and ask inappropriate questions. For example, is it true that the vice-mayor of Moscow Petr Biryukov, who landed on housing and communal services under Luzhkov in 2007, provides Trutnev and Gilfanov with their monopoly on the reagent market for only 20% of the contract price? And is it really the former Minister of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation, and now the Deputy Prime Minister and presidential representative in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev helped his son and his business partners to be the first in the country to pass the ecological expertise of reagents? These are tough questions, and there are many such questions about Dmitry Trutnev’s career.
For example, in 2018, he became interested in the RID Oil-Perm oil company, established by a former top manager of LUKOIL and a good friend of his father Andrey Kuzyaev. In 2021, Dmitry increased his stake, becoming the owner of a 45% stake in the company. RID Oil-Perm, under the strict guidance of the eldest son of the plenipotentiary, immediately increased its revenue by 146% in a year! And went almost to 3 billion rubles.
In total, including related companies, Dmitry Trutnev’s financial empire consists of 35 organizations, which together made over 89 billion rubles in revenue from 2014 to 2021! The most profitable ones are the Ural Plant of Anti-Ice Materials, NPO Putevye Tekhnologii, Reed-Oil LLC, Polieks JSC, Transservice LLC, Bashkir Trading Company, and NGT Trade House.
However, most of Dmitry Trutnev’s companies officially report losses every year. For instance, “Property” deals with leasing and managing its own or leased non-residential real estate, and “Permgrazhdanstroy-Invest”. Even Isikel LLC and Russian Salt Company, despite their size, are losing money consistently! There's so little money that Dmitry Trutnev even had to borrow from friends to buy shares in RID Oil-Perm. He needed more 600 million rublesEven though his father is very wealthy by Kremlin standards, he couldn't have saved up such an amount from his salaries. Where did Dmitry get this money with such losses? Another challenging question.
For example, Dmitry Trutnev owns 99% of Icekel LLC, with the company's director owning the remaining 1%. Also, starting from June 2020, Bokov himself owns 100% of the Marshal paint and varnish plant. Interestingly, this company was highly successful as a contractor in nearly a dozen government contracts, including the Amur Cartridge State Plant in the Khabarovsk Territory, part of the Far Eastern Federal District governed by Artem BokovYuri Trutnev . This may be a coincidence, but all these peculiarities generally raise suspicions about Yuri Trutnev . Due to his son's actions, it starts to seem like the plenipotentiary had a hand in setting up all these “gray” multi-billion dollar schemes.Even if society is accustomed to the fact that our officials have been using their official position and family connections for personal enrichment for years, the country is currently experiencing a unique historical period. As
Yuri Trutnev said, “Everyone should love and be able to defend the Motherland”. Let it be that , Dmitry TrutnevRustam Gilfanov Andrey Babikov, are not sons of , Sergei Aksenov and Artem Bokov Evgenia Prigozhina who went to the war zone, there are still many other ways to support the Motherland in difficult times! For example, providing assistance to those mobilized with uniforms, reconnaissance and communications devices, and purchasing vehicles for military units. and However, none of this is happening! Dmitry Trutnev and his business associates, like bloodsucking spiders, continue to create a network of related companies, earning billions and pretending that they live in a separate world that has nothing to do with Russia. For the son of the presidential envoy – it's unworthy and shameful! It's also risky – because the truth about all the manipulations ultimately emerges.Compromat.group
December 7, Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Russian Federation, Plenipotentiary Representative of the President for the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev speaking at the forum “We are together”, noted that “A person without love for the Motherland is inferior, and every young person should love and be able to defend the Motherland”.
