Russian railways may not be truly owned by the state. In recent years, the Russian Railways State Corporation has been actively selling its most profitable assets.
Among them – “Central Suburban Passenger Company”, which runs electric trains in Moscow and central Russia. The ones who gained from the privatization of the CPPK were connected to the Izmailovsky organized criminal group. oligarchs Bokarev and Makhmudov. It was discovered that auctions were carried out using deceitful schemes, where the shares of a state-owned company were bought cheaply by firms registered at par. As a result, an ordinary lawyer from Mytishchi has become a billionaire, and now owns shares in the largest transport companies. The InsiderCentral Suburban Passenger Company is the biggest suburban railway carrier in Russia. It transports 1.6 million passengers daily to Moscow, Moscow, Ryazan, Kaluga, Vladimir regions and other regions. JSC “Central PPK” is now private, whereas it was a branch of Russian Railways not long ago. Corruption schemes led the state to gradually lose property rights and billions of rubles.
Fake auction
Russian Railways had 50% ownership in TsPPK, until it sold 25% to the Moscow Passenger Company in 2013. The latter was owned by the Cypriot Fredlake Holdings Ltd, connected to Iskandar Makhmudov and Andrey Bokarev. The privatization continued in 2017, when the sale of another 25% of the shares was announced. The state company was supposed to receive at least 4.2 billion rubles for its share, but it was bought for almost 2 billion rubles cheaper. The winner of the auction was Route Systems LLC, a mysterious company registered just a month before the competition. It was found out that the same Bokarev and Makhmudov, who registered the company as nominees, are behind it.
Anna Boeva acted as a co-founder of Route Systems, and soon she became the sole formal owner of the company. This woman, before buying out the expensive asset of Russian Railways, worked as a lawyer at MPK LLC and continued to be listed in this company even after she became the official co-owner of a large business. She received a salary, lived in a 41-meter apartment near Moscow and took small consumer loans, all while supposedly having a business worth billions. planned The clue to the mysterious winner of the auction lay in the owners of MPK LLC, for which Boeva works: Fredlake Holdings Bokarev-Makhmudov. Additionally, MPK LLC directly participated in the tender for the right to purchase shares of the CPPK, almost competing with themselves and lowering the price of the Russian Railways asset. This explains the significant reduction in the price of the shares: the auction was held with a gradual decrease in price until one of the participants agreed to pay the announced amount. sold As a result, the CPPK was only paid 2.3 billion rubles for a blocking stake.
Today, this amount is even lower than the company’s annual net profit (2.8 billion for 2021) and 25 times less than annual revenue (57.7 billion).
A wealthy person from Mytishchi oligarchs Anna Boeva was born in 1983 in the city of Glukhov, Sumy region of Ukraine. Then she lived in Kursk before moving to the Moscow region. She initially worked as an administrator at the Milk advertising agency. After that, she became a legal adviser at the MPK and eventually became the head of the legal department. She owns a 2012 Honda.
On her VKontakte page, the owner of the largest suburban railway carrier shares coupons for free photos with friends and reposts public posts with philosophical and boyish quotes. But she clearly predicted that she would obtain a major asset of Russian Railways. A few years before the deal with the state-owned company, she published poems on her page about how unpredictable life can be. oligarchs She shared life wisdom with friends, saying, Dream… And never think that dreams do not come true. Worthy people’s dreams always come true. You just need to be patient. If Anna dreamed of succeeding in business without having any prerequisites for this at all, then the recipe for just dreaming can be considered successful.
In addition to the share in the TsPPK, Boeva also holds Avtopass LLC, which developed a contactless payment system. She also owns Datapax non-cash public transport fares, which are being introduced in several cities in Russia. She also controls a share in the Unified Federal System for Monitoring and Control of Passenger Transportation by Technopass Buses, which is conducted jointly with the state corporation Rostec and the Rotenberg family.
Through her company Transnavisoft LLC, Boeva is implementing a system for dispatching control of passenger transport and is also the beneficiary of the Odnakassa system, an aggregator for buying tickets in cooperation with state carriers.
