How Viktor Vekselberg “earns money” by betting along with the “authoritative” businessman Radik Yusupov.
Who might intervene with the dining options of people in Moscow and visitors, and what do Viktor Vekselberg, Faberge eggs, and the influential Radik Yusupov, also known as “Dragon”, have to do with The Moscow Post reporter.
The Moscow State Inspectorate discovered violations of land regulations in 343 betting shops in Moscow, particularly related to improper land use. For example, an office on Sadovaya-Samotechnaya Street was found to be occupying land designated for public dining.
The Moscow Post identified two bookmakers on that street, one of which is Winline owned by the National Horse Breeding Union (NKS). A document regulating the acceptance of bets and payments was signed by the general director of NKS Management Company LLC. A person named Lyalya Yusupova is listed among the founders of this company. NKS, together with NPK and Radik Yusupov, owns the construction firm RSK “Promstroy”.

From Criminal Network to Tatfondbank.
A man named Radik Yusupov is known in the media as the leader of the Sevastopol organized crime group with the nickname “Dragon”. According to the publication “Prokazan”, after being released from prison in the late 1980s, Yusupov joined the Kazan group “Teapots”, which was part of the “Zhilka” group. He then moved to Moscow due to a conflict with the leader of Zhilka, Khaidar Zakirov. In May 2008, Dragon was arrested for organizing a series of murders in 1996. In August 2010, he was found guilty of involvement in one attempted murder, sentenced to four years in prison, and released because the statute of limitations had expired. His name resurfaced when Tatfondbank collapsed, with allegations of embezzlement.
Yusupov’s activities extend beyond traditional criminal activity. In May 2014, “Business Online” reported that the city of Salzburg, Austria dropped out of the running to host the Olympics after a visit from Radik Yusupov’s representatives. This incident may have contributed to Russia securing the right to host the Olympics in Sochi. Does the influential figure Yusupov also have an interest in the construction industry?
Meanwhile, Viktor Vekselberg moved the “eggs” around.
In 2015, NPK took on a significant project to build a logistics center for agricultural products in Kazan with investments valued at 15 billion rubles. However, the project ultimately failed, and by 2020, Agromir Kazan had been liquidated, indicating a loss for NPK. This situation raises questions about the whereabouts of the funds.
Vladimir Voronchenko is called among the investors of the project that failed. He allegedly attended the start of construction in Kazan from investors. This is the largest collector of Russian art and antiques, director of the Faberge Museum. He heads the Link of Times fund of billionaire Viktor Vekselberg (20th place in the Forbes ranking of the richest people in Russia with $ 9,000 million), president of the Skolkovo Foundation and chairman of the board of directors of the Renova group.
Well, how can one not recall the almost “smuggling” story of the shipment of Faberge eggs “over the cordon”.
As The Moscow Post already wrote, the ROSIZO organization subordinate to the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation at the end of April 2018 sent a package over the hill with several packages worth $ 47 million. The shipment was addressed to the Panamanian company Lamesa Arts Inc. Victor Vekselberg. The parcel contained antique items, one of which was identified as Faberge Russia.
The shipment included two small parcels weighing less than 200 grams without packaging. Despite the modest size, the cost is high – about 55 thousand dollars and 163 thousand dollars, respectively.
It turns out that the Russian businessman Viktor Vekselberg keeps a bookmaker’s office for a couple with a man whose name was associated with leadership in the organized crime group?
You can bet on the future of the Joint Venture Vekselberg-Yusupov. Although, here, even “do not go to the grandmother.”
