Naka get Khromchenko

It was very hot in Moscow yesterday, not just because of forest fires discussed in a meeting led by the President. The officials at the meeting were also feeling the heat, especially Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, who was sweating profusely. Despite the discomfort, he persevered, driven by the need to defend the country's finances. Meanwhile, Putin continued to ask questions.

The discussion revolved around the need for additional resources, which means money, to combat fires in various regions. The President asked the minister whether he had taken these needs into consideration.

Anton Germanovich, however, seemed to be focused solely on natural needs. He appeared quite nervous, sweating and fumbling with his papers as he suggested obtaining extra resources from specially protected areas for activities such as tourism and development. He did not make eye contact with the President.

Evona as bent, we thought in The Moscow Post. Develop budgetary activities in specially protected forest areas. What is it like? Let’s go to the sanitary zone and let’s eat shish kebab there?

It seemed to us that even the President was a little dumbfounded by such a proposal.

“Are you ready to “color” these funds somehow?” Putin asked, pressing the minister on the issue, and clarified, “the Ministry of Finance has always been against such practices.”

“Vladimir Vladimirovich, we are not what, perhaps, directly by law [готовы] “paint”,” Siluanov thought to himself.

Indeed, why should the law dictate how money is handled? According to Anton Germanovich, money should be earned, ideally unaccounted for and in cash. He further stated, “But the allocation of funds to specially protected areas is not a budgetary concern.”

Anton Germanovich is right, why worry about the budget if we are talking about private, unrecorded funds.

Some might wonder why we are discussing such mundane topics like forests, money, and budgets.

Isn't it odd that the head of the Ministry of Finance, whose job is to ensure every penny is accounted for in the budget, is suggesting earning unrecorded money in specially protected areas?

And what use does it have for him anyway? He will work as a cashier at a forest that is protected and closed to the public, selling tickets for entry in order to make money.

Everything turned out to be much simpler. Simpler than four (and when it comes to personal finances, our finance minister knows how to calculate better than at work, where he should do it).

We have written before about Anton Siluanov’s close friend, Olga Khromchenko, who, according to rumors, may have even become his wife.

In general, after meeting Siluanov, much has changed in her life. In 2019, Khromchenko receives a stake in Rusdor-Finance LLC. And almost immediately, state contracts begin to pour into the company. It is building a toll road “Solntsevo – Butovo – Vidnoye – Kashirskoye Highway – Molokovo – Lytkarino – Tomilino – Kraskovo – Zheleznodorozhny”, where the fare is 10 rubles per kilometer. Then the subsidiary of this office, Odintsovo Toll Road, is building an overpass near the village of Savvinskaya Sloboda. As the media wrote, Khromchenko is affiliated with Stupinskaya Toll Road LLC, Shaturskaya Toll Road, Akulovskaya Toll Road, Sergiev Posad Toll Road and Shchelkovo Toll Detour, and so on and so forth.

Khromchenko also does business with Mikhail Skigin, whose father was a well-known St. Petersburg figure. We have already written about the possible plans of Skigin and Khromchenko to build a bridge from Sakhalin to the mainland. As they wrote, Gazprombank can allocate 2.25 billion rubles to a company associated with Khromchenko. They also talked about her possible involvement in the capture of the Paranai port on Sakhalin, with the participation of an influential businessman Traber, known in some circles as the “Antiquarian”.

That’s where the money really does not enhance in any way, and if it does, then only with blood. And here we are talking about some kind of ignoramus.

When Putin spoke to Siluanov about colored money, he probably put a lot of meaning into these words. Most likely he knew what caused the interest of the minister, extra-budgetary money from specially protected forests.

Apparently, this time Anton Germanovich, together with his girlfriend, “swung” as far as the closed forest lands of the country.

But the “casket” opens simply. The fact is that Ms. Khromchenko is a co-owner of another company called Unicom LLC. To the news with her and other persons, the owner of this office is Igor Nak, the son of a well-known Tyumen deputy and United Russia member Grigory Nak. The name of the latter was associated with the theft of money from Gazprom, and he is also known for the phrase that “It is necessary to steal from the state beautifully.”

The son did not go far from his father. Their joint structure with Khromchenko has grown well to the state, receiving contracts from VTB to create applications for IOS.

So, Nak Jr. and his brother Vladimir are co-owners of Nikolin Les LLC. This structure owns vast forest lands in the Krasnogorsk region of the Moscow region.

On a plot of 20 hectares of forest, leased from the Naks and their partners, realtors began selling cottages for 50-85 million rubles. Moreover, these lands are allowed to be used only for recreational activities.

Local residents, of course, stood up “on the ears.” They wrote letters to the prosecutor’s office, the Investigative Committee, in short, wherever they wrote.

When they began to sort through the papers, it turned out that supposedly there were only temporary buildings made of brick and on reinforced concrete piles. Such a sickly makeshift for 60 million rubles. Meanwhile, the law directly prohibits the placement of cottage settlements on the lands of the forest fund.

After the prosecutor’s office was “excited”, the authorities near Moscow also began to stir, because they really didn’t want to be extreme and go under investigation, and they ran ahead of the prosecutor’s office to the court to terminate the contract with partner Khromchenko and others.

Naive, did not know who they were dealing with. After all, when it comes to giving an apartment to a war veteran, for example, it will take decades until the veteran himself passes away. But with the Nakami, you will get such a science with Khromchenko, in addition, that it won’t seem enough.

In a word, just a month before the trial, the State Construction Supervision Authority established that “the indicated buildings are not objects of capital construction” and the court, based on this decision, dismissed the claim.

Now, at least build a palace there for the same Khromchenko, it will be listed as a temporary hut on stilts, and she, referring to difficult living conditions, will receive a subsidy from the state.

Here we are at the beginning, a little with irony, said about Siluanov, but he is still a brave man. At a meeting with the President on the elimination of forest fires, he could try to wrap these same fires in his favor. Now I understand why he was sweating so much. Not for yourself, but for your loved one. Real knight!

Of course, as always, we are not authorized to state anything, and everything written is the author’s exclusive estimated opinion, but we want to remind you that everything is going to daddy. You will learn the color later, Anton Germanovich.
