Let me remind you that the former high official is accused of embezzling almost 40 billion rubles.
And now we look like an ex-minister Agriculture Elena Skrynnik celebrated her holiday.
This photo was taken at a completely different event, a more serious one - a government one. And the watch matches the situation, as our expert says: “It is called Bell & Ross BR01 Airborne 672 Diamonds Limited Edition. A rare ultra-stylish model, released in 2009 in an edition of 99 pieces. Encrusted with 672 black and white diamonds. European retail price - 40,000 euros "
In addition, after the release of the scandalous film, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not interested in the materials contained in it. Until now, the ex-minister is listed as a witness in criminal cases of theft at Rosagroleasing.
Musicians from the duet “Tea for Two” performed at the celebration for Skrynnik and her guests.
On Monday, the editors received photos from Elena Skrynnik’s birthday. This is how she celebrated it two years ago, when she was still a minister.
Slow dance with my husband Dmitry Belonosov, ex-member of the Revolvers group. He is now 34 years old.
He gave Elena Borisovna a personalized gold bar. At the pawnshop near the editorial office they estimated its weight and value: “About 300 grams, when purchased the price was no more than 500,000 rubles. But if you suddenly want to give such a piece of gold to us, we will pay you the price of scrap,” they told us, either jokingly, either seriously.
This photo was taken during the celebration. Komsomolskaya Pravda experts were unable to determine what kind of beautiful jewelry on Elena Skrynnik.
The cost of Elena Skrynnik’s watch is at least 50 thousand euros.
But our watch expert (who asked not to include his name just in case) immediately understood what we were talking about we're talking about, and this is what he told us:
This is a Franck Muller Long Island Long - a very rare, if not exclusive model. It's not in the regular catalogue. I can't see the numbers. If they are painted, then the price of the watch is 50,000 euros (excluding taxes), and if it is inlaid with multi-colored diamonds and stones, then more than 60,000.
Skrynnik is congratulated by his colleagues: at that time Deputy Minister of Agriculture Sergei Korolev (left), who at one time headed Rosagroleasing. The second guest of the holiday (on the right) is Oleg Donskikh, at that time the head of the department for administrative work of the Ministry of Agriculture. Now he is wanted. Donskikh fled from his office at the ministry when investigators in the case of theft at Rosagroleasing arrived there.
The “Revolvers” musician exchanged his minister wife for a TV channel administrator
Having become the Minister of Agriculture, Elena SKRYNNIK, whose name was declined five years ago due to a scandalous divorce from her second husband, businessman Yuri KUKOTA, did not talk about her personal life. Secular gossips only know that last husband Elena Borisovna - guitarist Dmitry BELONOSOV from the group "Revolvers" - is ten years younger than her. But recently some interesting information surfaced on the Internet: in 2012, Skrynnik did not indicate her husband in her tax return for the first time in the last four years. An assumption arose: perhaps they were already divorced? The Express Gazeta special correspondent decided to find out the truth.
Elena Skrynnik again found herself at the center of a scandal after what was shown on the Rossiya 1 channel documentary film"Those who have power." Before Elena Borisovna had time to leave the post of Minister of Agriculture, she was accused of embezzling 39 billion rubles. This debt was discovered in the Rosagroleasing company, which was headed by Elena Skrynnik from 2001 to 2009. The main function of the company is to purchase agricultural equipment with government money and lease it to large farms. The official was accused that the money allocated by the state for farmers allegedly went to the accounts of the British company Bryce-Becker and the company AgroEuroSoyuz, co-founded by Skrynnik and her brother, racing driver Leonid Novitsky.
“Madame Leasing,” as Elena Borisovna was nicknamed, called this information slander; the other day the Accounts Chamber sided with the official. But law enforcement agencies continue to check while Skrynnik is being investigated as a witness in the Rosagroleasing case.
During these difficult days for the ex-minister, journalists did not ignore a piquant detail from the life of Elena Borisovna - her love for young boys. Her last husband, guitarist of the pop group “Revolvers” Dmitry Belonosov, initially did not live up to his wife’s high status - statesman, member of the Supreme Council of United Russia. Elena herself never young husband, which is said to be gossips, she rewrote the companies “Aesthetic Center Swiss Perfection”, “Russian medical company", "Rusmedinvest-M", "Medleasing" and others, "did not shine." It has now become clear that not only in his career and business, but also in the personal life of the ex-minister there is a continuous black streak. She is experiencing it in France, where she went with her children - she has four of them.
Point in gossip
Rumors about possible tension in the relationship between 51-year-old Elena Skrynnik and the 41-year-old musician arose due to the fact that in 2009 Dmitry’s income was 22 million rubles. (His wife declared 10 million 835 rubles.) In 2010, the husband’s income decreased to 3.7 million rubles, and in 2011 it was completely reduced to ridiculous figures - 103 thousand rubles. But even the sharp drop in income did not convince the regulars social networks is that Dmitry could exchange the “golden cage” for simple human happiness. Belonosov’s watch alone, according to Ksenia Sobchak, costs 40 thousand euros.
Express Gazeta found Dima's friend, lead singer of the Revolvers group Alexei Elistratov, who put an end to the Internet gossip: Elena Skrynnik officially divorced two years ago, and her ex-husband Dmitry Belonosov returned to the group three months ago.
Fatal attraction
Alexey, how closely do you know Dmitry Belonosov?
- When the first soloist Dmitry Nazarov left the rock group “Revolvers-45” seven years ago, a casting was announced. It was conducted by one of the founders of the group - guitarist, composer and arranger of the group Dmitry Belonosov. The rock band's work did not bring in any money, and the musicians decided to sing pop music. I was working in the genre of musical parodies at the time, but I really wanted to change my life. We recorded several songs and I was accepted into the team. Soon Dima and I became friends.
- Why did he leave the group?
- Five years ago, Dima said that he was forced to leave because he was marrying Elena Skrynnik. To his credit, he tried to make this breakup as painless as possible. We met for another three months and recorded some songs.
- Tell me, how can you meet the Minister of Agriculture if you are not a major agrarian and not Stas Mikhailov?
- I don’t know how he met Elena Borisovna. When they were still in the bouquet-candy period, he wrote two songs. Usually Dima composed only music, but here are his words. Both are dedicated future wife. One of them was called “I Believed, I Didn’t Believe,” we gave it to the “Brilliant” group, and the other, “Stormy River,” was performed by me. There are these words: “Like a stormy river, you stir my heart.” Elena Borisovna liked the song, and she sent me a bouquet more than a meter high in a crystal vase, decorated with beads.
Dima invited you to the wedding?
- No, marriage to a minister categorically excluded a musical get-together in the house.
- Aren’t you offended that your best friend didn’t invite you?
“I, like other musicians, immediately became a “man from the past.” I understood the reason. Showbiz people are not reliable. Any word spoken or accidentally heard is worth nothing here, but in the world of Elena Borisovna, one word can be worth the loss of money and reputation. She is a charismatic person - extraordinarily Strong woman.
-Have you wondered: is this love?
- I am an adult and well-read boy: I know more than one example of passionate relationships between young men and older women. For example, Isadora Duncan and Sergei Yesenin. She was 18 years older than the poet! Dima was in love with Elena Borisovna, that’s one hundred percent! How this attraction could end for him is another question.
Fell in love with someone else
Is it true that Dima and Elena Borisovna broke up?
- Actually, they have been divorced for two years. Although this information was not advertised. It’s funny that the press still calls him Skrynnik’s husband. The reason for the divorce was another love - Katya Ivanova, she works on television. Dima has already married her. He was already over forty and wanted his own children. Dima invited me to officiate his wedding with Katya. But on the appointed day, force majeure occurred. Thank God we didn't quarrel.
- Did Skrynnik go through with the divorce easily?
- Elena Borisovna is not the kind of person to make trouble and wash dirty linen in public. Everything went without unnecessary emotions.
- They write about Skrynnik’s real estate in France. The estate is valued at 10.8 million euros. Did Dima get something after the divorce? Or just the watch that Sobchak appreciated?
- Another boy in his place would have figured out how to get more out of his passion. But not Dima. He is not a grabber. It is difficult to call him a rich man. He didn’t take anything, and it’s good: a man must remain a man!
What is Dmitry doing now?
“I suggested several times that he return to the team, but he brushed it off. However, I knew that he was drawn to music. Three months ago we returned to this conversation, and Dima agreed. True, he categorically refuses to participate in photo shoots and give any interviews because of Elena Borisovna.
- He has changed?
- Yes. Dima has matured, grown wiser, and become a man who understands what chic is.

ZAO Publishing House "Komsomolskaya Pravda", 2012.
The scandal with the ex-Minister of Agriculture continues Elena Skrynnik. Let us remind you that last week the Rossiya 1 TV channel showed a film in which a former high official was accused of embezzling almost 40 billion rubles.
This is the essence of the accusations. Before her appointment as minister, Elena Skrynnik headed Rosagroleasing, a company that supplies farmers with machinery and equipment on credit using government money.

Evgeniy Arsyukhin
Strange death
In an exclusive interview with KP, Elena Skrynnik stated that she lost control over Rosagroleasing as soon as she became minister. Everything was in order under her: the company was checked by the Accounts Chamber and auditors from the international PricewaterhouseCoopers, and no violations were found. A hole of 40 billion rubles. formed later.But senior adviser to the general director of Rosagroleasing Evgeny Zelensky (it is he and his colleagues who are searching for the stolen 40 billion rubles) in an interview with KP says something different. According to him, Skrynnik retained control over the company through her associate Leonid Orsik - he replaced her as head of Rosagroleasing. But on December 31, 2009, he was found dead at home; some even then called his death strange. In February 2010, Valery Nazarov became general director. It was then that the fake contracts and “strange” schemes were revealed. The debriefing, according to Zelensky, took three years.
“Auditors from PricewaterhouseCoopers used to give positive reports because they were misled by fake reporting,” says Zelensky. “Then they withdrew their old conclusion and also found violations.
How tractors disappeared
Zelensky reveals the basic scheme of fraud.“Two thirds of Rosagroleasing’s contracts fell on three regions - Lipetsk, Tambov and Nizhny Novgorod regions,” he says. “It was there that unfortunate farmers were found who agreed to participate in the forgery.
Now, of the 40 billion that have disappeared, 80% in the form of debts (although the money itself was transferred abroad) hangs on mega-holdings in these three regions, Zelensky clarifies. And that’s how the money disappeared.
An agricultural company receives, say, a tractor from Rosagroleasing. First she pays for it as much as she should, then she declares that there is no money, life, they say, is hard, but she has goods (fertilizers, fuel, grain). In fact, there is no product. They agree that the company will supply the goods to another company, a client of Rosagroleasing (in fact, the other one is also a dummy). Rosagroleasing pays for the goods immediately, and the recipient of the goods must repay the debt of the agricultural company to Rosagroleasing within 5 years. But no one extinguished anything. Rosagroleasing itself either wrote off the debt of the recipient company in order to hide the ends. Or the situation was arranged in such a way that the guarantors for payments were people who were physically impossible to find (“ dead Souls»).
“At the same time, the real tractor with which it all started and which should be the property of Rosagroleasing until it is paid for, goes to the agricultural company as soon as it delivers the “goods.” There is no product either. Under this scheme alone, 9.5 billion disappeared. In 2010, a collapse of non-payments occurred.
It’s funny that the state company Rosagroleasing, of course, did not have the right to buy and sell agricultural products. She has completely different tasks. But the company nevertheless had an entire department of trading operations!
“Hundreds of thousands, millions of tons of grain were allegedly sold, but we asked for data from Russian Railways - there were no such shipments,” says Zelensky.
The commission has everything covered
Another scheme. A small batch of equipment for the show was purchased directly from the plant, but the lion's share was purchased through an intermediary, with a large markup. Let's say, elevator equipment for 450 million rubles. at a real price of 250 million rubles. And only one company was allowed to work with Rosagroleasing - Elevator-Service CJSC (now Rosagroleasing works with six suppliers of elevator equipment). The price was set by a commission from the Ministry of Agriculture.“This commission actually had no such rights, only a recommendation,” says Zelensky. — It was headed by Leonid Orsik, already known to us, who replaced Skrynnik as the general director of Rosagroleasing, and decisions were made on the basis of scanty documents of three pieces of paper. In fact, the commission simply cut off those suppliers who were ready to sell machinery and equipment to farmers at normal prices.
Intermediary firms were controlled people from Skrynnik’s circle. For example, KamAZ trucks were purchased from the Avto-Agromash company, which was supervised by Skrynnik’s brother, a racing driver. Leonid Novitsky, says Zelensky.
“A win-win algorithm,” says Zelensky. — When the government asked at a meeting: “Are you taking equipment from the KamAZ plant?” - followed the answer: “Yes.” “How much?” - and here the figure was already given not for deliveries directly from the plant, but in total and from intermediaries too. The numbers are excellent, everyone is happy, and most importantly, there are almost no lies, as they asked, so they answered.
Linden grain from state reserves
It’s difficult to even list all the schemes, let alone describe them. But one cannot ignore the machinations with the grain of the Intervention Fund - the state grain reserves. Zelensky says: with money from Rosagroleasing, an elevator was built where they wanted to store strategic grain. According to the papers, what is needed is an elevator, but in reality it is of much smaller volume.“I went through everything there with a tape measure, measured it myself,” says Zelensky.
Then the grain from the Intervention Fund comes there for storage. More arrives than the elevator can physically accommodate (although, according to documents, its capacity would allow storing such a volume). How so? In fact, the grain was stolen a long time ago, the supply is only on paper. Zelensky says that he personally raised the question with the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Skrynnik’s comrade-in-arms, Sergei Korolev. Say, how could you sign an act of readiness for the elevator? Korolev, according to Zelensky, retorted that he signed the acts on the readiness of the elevator without going to the site - “what, should I check everything personally?”
However, I got scared. The elevator was quickly completed. To avoid scandal. But the mythical grain from state reserves was sold to the same company that allegedly supplied it to the state earlier. So much so that the company also earned money.
I wonder how much grain is actually in the country's strategic reserves?
And that's what's great. The new management of Rosagroleasing reported to the government that “sometimes here and there,” and the government sent materials to the security forces. The government instructed them to check the facts. Viktor Zubkov, as Deputy Prime Minister, was particularly focused on the Nizhny Novgorod region; he issued 4 instructions to the governor and demanded that grain be stored normally there. And they stopped cheating with elevator equipment.
8 million euros in cash
Money from intermediaries was transferred abroad. Let's say, to the Swiss company Brice Baker. According to the documents, it was created for “trade in products of all kinds.” Two more with the same name are in the UK. So much to confuse the movement of money, Zelensky says.“Elena Skrynnik was the real owner and founder of these companies,” he claims.
And shows extract from the British register of legal entities. It lists Elena Skrynnik among the shareholders of the English company - at that time she also headed Rosagroleasing.
“If in the morning funds are received from Rosagroleasing to CJSC Elevator-Service for equipment that has not actually been delivered,” says Zelensky, “and two days later this money ends up in the UK at the company Brice Baker... Can one assume that Skrynnik didn’t know this?
Zelensky says that Skrynnik had a confidant - Rosagroleasing employee Yana Mulyar. She regularly flew to London using funds from Rosagroleasing to prepare documents for the Bryce Baker company. According to Zelensky, this is also what Sergei Korolev, who later became Deputy Minister, did. Both Mulyar and Korolev were directors of Brice Baker, as follows from the documents presented by the British.
“And it was during this period that Skrynnik bought an estate in France,” Zelensky compares. — It costs 10.8 million euros, and 8 million euros were paid in cash. Why cash? This is inconvenient. Maybe to hide the connection between the money that the state gave to Rosagroleasing and the money for which the estate was purchased?
Harvesting bread before the New Year
To understand the scale of the disaster, Zelensky did not leave his business trips for three years. I had to see everything. Nizhny Novgorod region, agricultural company "Santimir". Took 4 billion rubles from Rosagroleasing. (for the purchase of equipment) and another 9 billion from banks. Rosagroleasing employees arrived to see how their property was doing (until payment for the equipment is paid, it remains the property of Rosagroleasing). Employees of the agricultural company first block the road, then drive up the tractor, hook the inspectors’ car with a cable, try to push it into a ditch, the driver maneuvers and crashes into a car nearby. The police don't interfere. “This is their private road, they do what they want,” the officer comments languidly. Now the agricultural company is bankrupt, and the ends are in the water, but just recently the authorities of the Nizhny Novgorod region were fussing over it, they say, hands off the effective owner! They found property worth only 800 million rubles, and 12 billion, therefore, disappeared.Perevozsky district, Nizhny Novgorod region. A field covered with snow, full of unharvested grain. They were removed only for the view along the road. The owner of the field might not have to sow anything; he and the company’s managers have already “sawed away” the money from Rosagroleasing. But he also wanted to receive government support. And for this we had to imitate the activity. The inspectors showed up on December 25, the owner drove expensive American combine harvesters onto a snow-covered field and said that the inspectors “ruined his harvest.” Locals complain: they’re scared to leave the house, they’ve come running to a field full of grain wild animals from the whole region, they have never had such raspberries that in winter - and ears!
Here is a bare field on which a livestock complex allegedly stands worth 1 billion rubles. This is the Bryansk region. Owners are wanted.
And here is the village of Klyuchishchi, Nizhny Novgorod region. Security does not allow inspectors to enter the enterprise. But through the fence you can see mountains of grain, simply thrown out into the street, birds peck at it, overeat it with joy, then immediately die, stench and infection.
Strange things remain
“We have sent applications to initiate more than 150 criminal cases, 56 have already been initiated,” says Zelensky. — Fraud, deliberate bankruptcy...Rosagroleasing is being restored, he assures. Debt under new contracts is only 3 - 4%, while the norm is 8 - 10%. There are a lot of suppliers, different, cheap, the peasant has plenty to choose from.
Much, of course, remains unclear. Why, despite close attention to Skrynnik’s activities (suspicions have been trailing her for a long time), they did not talk about fraud while she was a minister, and only became active after Elena Borisovna left the country? Finally, why did the Accounts Chamber and international auditors allow themselves to be deceived for so long and so easily? [...]
Call to auditors
"We're not even sure it's us""KP" called audit company PricewaterhouseCoopers asked: how is it that you didn’t see any problems in Rosagroleasing, then suddenly you did?
