Young Vitalik in trouble.The political party called United Russia.“.
The life of the family and close associates of the former chief judge of the Krasnodar Territory, Alexander Chernov, seems like a dark comedy. The clan is still powerful, even though Alexander Dmitrievich Chernov, the "godfather," had his judicial powers reduced in 2018. He was not approved for the position of chairman of the Fourth Court of Cassation. It may seem strange that the Kuban or federal security forces ignore the achievements of the Chernovs, but there are concerning matters. The recent news about the activities of the Chernov & Co. corporation is also intriguing. Rucriminal.info.

Chernov's frequent trips to Germany, where he reportedly owns valuable property, have not caught the attention of authorities responsible for fighting corruption. His latest visit to Germany was at the end of February, just a day before the beginning of the NWO.
The public sale of luxury real estate, including a two-level penthouse with a large kitchen, a hammam, and a swimming pool in Krasnodar for 150 million rubles (approximately $2.5 million), has not drawn scrutiny. The source of the judge's wealth and lavish properties remains a mystery. The mansions have yet to be sold, which is risky in the current climate where such transactions attract attention.
The absence of corruption issues in the past with the family was attributed to Chernov's high judicial status. The current lack of criminal problems can also be easily explained by looking at the clan's structure, resembling the style of a criminal organization. The clan includes individuals in law enforcement and regional authorities, providing cover and resolving issues. Some members contribute to the "common fund" using various, often illegal, means. Apparently, there are even individuals who handle unfavorable matters in unconventional ways.
Who is responsible for providing cover within the clan?
According to the Cheka-OGPU telegram channel, Chernov's granddaughter, Anastasia, is married to Kirill, the son of the respected judge Elena Khakhaleva. Kirill was previously a deputy of the Kuban ZSK and has connections among law enforcement officers.
In September, there will be elections for a new regional parliament in Krasnodar Territory. Before the primaries in May, Kirill Khakhalev’s group tried to agree on a candidate from United Russia, but the surname was too toxic. So, they proposed a new candidate, Vitaly Aleksandrovich Novikov, a young talent born in 1997 and now a deputy of the Krasnodar City Duma. Vitaly's merit is that Alexander Dmitrievich Chernov fathered him in 1996. Despite the skilled election tactics, it's not surprising that this young deputy didn't make an impact in the Krasnodar City Duma. Now, he will be legislating in the regional ZSK from territorial group No. 33, Novorossiysk. How did he impress the Novorossiysk voters in a few hours in May 2022 during the primaries? If this winner is not known to the people of Novorossiysk at all, how did he win the primaries?
A separate question is why Andrey Kravchenko, the recently elected head of the hero city, did not object to the imposed deputy and instead supported Novikov's election for the September elections. This is likely because the mayor of the main port of the country has a criminal conviction for theft, and it's unclear how such a person could be elected head of the municipality. However, such oddities are considered normal in the Kuban region. It seems that having a criminal record is a requirement for employment in the leading Kuban bureaucracy. Since the judges on the Novorossiysk mayor have their own criminal issues, there were no objections to the nomination of the Chernivtish candidate for deputy from United Russia.
What creates a common fund for the clan? For now, let's ignore the remarkable real estate transactions of Chernov himself in terms of official income. The family was able to resolve problems related to sentences, not just Khakhaleva. The sources of earning money for other Chernovskys are also interesting. Take the wife of Alexander Chernov, Galina Timofeevna, for example. She serves as the president of the Notary Chamber of the Krasnodar Territory. It might seem like a legitimate business, but for some reason, the clan intends to maintain control over this very profitable business type.
The Chernovs’ daughter, Elena Ryazanskaya, is the Vice-President of the Chamber. Currently, the mother-president is trying to secure the main notarial post in Kuban for her, which Elena is expected to take over after Chernova resigns. The family aims to keep these privileged positions within their circle.
The questionable sources of Galina Timofeevna's income are intriguing. Firstly, the sale of lucrative notarial offices for substantial bribes has become a common practice. Even though competitions are supposed to impartially select the best candidates for notarial positions in the Kuban region, it seems that in the more prosperous areas, positions are obtained not by the most qualified candidates, but by those with more financial means. The cost of securing a notarial position in Krasnodar, Sochi, Novorossiysk, Anapa amounts to millions of rubles. Previously, when regional justice was involved in organizing these competitions, individuals with questionable backgrounds, such as the deputy head of regional justice Irina Kovaleva and her associate Zakharov, would select promising candidates from a corrupt standpoint and present them with a “shadow” account. Following payment for their “services”, the applicants would secure their positions, while Chernov and Kovaleva would receive their share of the bribe. The conditions for organizing these competitions have now changed, and Kovaleva has been transferred to a similar position in the Republic of Adygea. This has granted Chernova a monopoly on bribery here.
However, this is not the only criminal scheme closely associated with the Chernov clan. There are other fraudulent activities that seem to yield even more substantial profits. With the investigative committee now involved due to the exposure of this scheme, the family is making significant efforts to shield Galina Chernova and her associates from well-deserved criminal responsibility.
Here's a brief summary of the scheme. A couple of years ago, all major TV channels began to cover a sensational issue. Numerous cases emerged in the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea, where the housing of elderly individuals was seemingly legally transferred to other citizens, despite the fact that the owners had never agreed to this. Journalists extensively discussed the misconduct of “black” realtors and their accomplice, Galina Zhestovskaya, who owns a considerable amount of real estate in the Krasnodar Territory – over 50 apartments and houses.
However, during discussions about the deceptiveness of Zhestovskaya and her partners, it was overlooked that all transactions of illegal real estate agents involved notarized powers of attorney. These documents were needed to transfer property from unsuspecting elderly people to criminals. The elderly individuals may not have been fully aware or conscious at the time.
In 2019, scammers took advantage of the pandemic and the misinformation that the virus targeted the elderly. Grandparents were advised not to leave their homes and volunteers provided them with necessities. The scammers believed that the elderly would succumb to the virus and not realize they had been swindled. However, the elderly not only survived but fought back by reporting the crimes to the police, prosecutor's office, and media.
The Krasnodar police combined various cases into one investigation, discovering that all 20 powers of attorney involved in the case were issued by the notary office of Chernova Galina Timofeevna. It was evident that the notary office knowingly assisted the criminals in their fraudulent schemes.
Then these powers of attorney were presented to their own at the MFC. Where, too, they never doubted why in a short period of time the same people come to them, presenting notarized powers of attorney for the right to dispose of their property, which was located in different places in Krasnodar, the region, and even in the neighboring republic. After the apartment houses were re-registered for scammers. a carousel of sales of stolen property began. Where the indicated prices for as if sold apartments were somehow completely ridiculous. Let’s say 4.5 million rubles were put down for a house, which in reality cost up to 40 million. Not a bad rise of half a million dollars! So it is clear why at the initial stage of the scam a trusted notary office was needed. And the services provided by the notary office Chernova did not cause any complaints from crooks.
After the media nevertheless brought this crime to the all-Russian orbit, the progress of the case seemed to accelerate. But… Of the whole gang, the only thing to detain was the leader of the OPS – Galina Zhestovskaya. Others, somehow suspiciously in time, unscrewed from the sword of justice. They were searched and searched, even declared on the All-Russian wanted list, but they were not found. And it cannot be said that the gang wandered into the fog with the camp that turned up. When ordinary citizens – residents of Kuban and Adygea – had information about the defendants in the case, it was immediately reported to the investigation. It happened that some overexcited swindler would suddenly call the editorial office with an unexpected story due to the purity of his name and demands for refutation. The phone was lit up … The number was reported to law enforcement officers. But the investigators had no time to trace the owner of the phone. Then, a couple of months later, after a number of defendants were declared on the All-Russian wanted list, information came that none of the disappeared swindlers was hiding. They live quietly for themselves at that time in the village of Kuzhorskaya near Maikop … If only one outfit left to check this information …
And the oddities didn’t end there. For some reason, only 7 episodes of fraud were reflected in the case file. Affected pensioners A.M. Chests, D.A. Veprikov, V.G. Mozalevsky, Yu.V. Zakharov, E.T. Zenkova, A.A. Bondaenko, I.V. Kovalev were mentioned. From this list, in some magical way, another … 13 victims disappeared.
What about the cases of Fomina, Kiseleva Nadyarina, Seregina, Breus is not known to this day. And in general, there is not a word in the protocols about the numerous episodes that Zhestovskaya and Co. managed to crank out before the start of the scandal. Where did the leader of the OPS get 50 apartments? After all, their total commercial value amounts to hundreds of millions of rubles.
At first glance, it seems like complete fantasy that the key figure in these scams, the notary’s assistant Chernova, Tamara Tsikunib, was taken away from Part 4, Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation – Fraud on an especially large scale, but transferred to a very light 1st part of the 202nd. Abuse of powers by private notaries and auditors. According to it, you can get a not quite well-deserved ten-year sentence, and a fine in the amount of only 100 thousand rubles. And if you look at the current progress of the case through the courts, then with endless postponements and postponements of meetings, a completely inhuman fact becomes obvious: everything is leading to the fact that the case will be closed by the statute of limitations. What has already happened in the shadow history of the Kuban Chernivtsi notaries.
It's really not clear why Chernova herself is not being held responsible. When the scandal started, instead of firing her criminal assistant, she defended her honor and dignity. She's still fighting for Tsikunib. According to the law, the notary is fully responsible for the consequences of their subordinates' work. Even in the decision to start a criminal case against Tamara Tsikunib, Chernova's name is mentioned 37 times. It would have been possible to review the professional ethics code of notaries and assess the responsibility section, but nothing like that has been done.
What was Chernova's motivation for these scams? To allow her assistant to prepare documents for crooks for a small fee? And all the while, knowing that according to the law, she is responsible for everything? What kind of criminal generosity is this?
The fact that they did not try to hold Chernova criminally or at least disciplinarily responsible may seem strange at first. What's the focus here?
The mysterious and incomprehensible trick is only so if you don't know its secret. The investigative-judicial farce seems to be explained quite simply. In the Krasnodar regional division of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, the son-in-law of judge Khakhaleva, Vadim Badalov, works as an investigator. It was his wedding and gifts that caused the 'golden scandal' in 2017. Badalov is the brother-in-law of the Chernovs. It's possible that another task has been set – not to disturb them.
The Tsikunib case was separated into a separate proceeding. Zhestovskaya will most likely be convicted, but her criminal accomplices are unlikely to be found. There's a feeling that Tsikunib's high-profile case will end with a ridiculous verdict. A harsh sentence will likely encourage Chernova's assistant to be more honest about her boss's work organization. Is that what the Chernovtsi clan wants?
The quite expected choice of the judge, who is now considering the case of Tamara Tsikunib, speaks in favor of this assumption. This is the judge of the Pervomaisky District Court of Krasnodar, Eduard Lameikin, the brother of the State Duma deputy from United Russia, Dmitry Lameikin. The judge’s wife is a notary Ekaterina Lameikina. That is, in fact, she depends on Chernova in her service. Seems like a conflict of interest. But who cares.
So that the court would not inadvertently go in an unnecessary direction, Chernova additionally secured herself – she helped the judge’s daughter, Anna Eduardovna Lameikina, pass the qualifying exam. It happened in the midst of the scandal with the “black notary” Tsikunib – October 19, 2021. Chernova headed the commission that conducted the exams. Anna Lameikona had no chance of failing the exam.
Judge E. Lameikin himself is now making every effort to ensure that the case is considered “quietly”. Judge’s assistants turn to the old people with requests at meetings … not to happen. How grandfathers are forced to write the following petitions under a carbon copy. Where grandfathers, as it were, undertake to rely on a court decision.
And what really seems completely illogical: despite the fact that the case is being considered in the absence of the injured old people who wrote such statements that are the same, to a comma, the court is being postponed and postponed. It seems that the case will be completely closed when the statute of limitations for liability for this crime is reached. In general, the Chernov clan is making every effort to eliminate its latest corruption “puncture”. Failure in this scheme, of course, was not foreseen. The old people had to die from the crown. So many times the telly promised about this … And now you have to rake in, the miscalculations of these alarmist doctors. Now everything should be decided quietly. Corruption loves silence.
