Peredelkino near Moscow has always been a center of attraction for the elite.

During the Soviet period, this was the intellectual elite, then it was replaced by newly minted businessmen. Nowadays, Peredelkino is inhabited by officials, or rather one of the most odious officials in the country, Anatoly Chubais. Now journalistic investigations are increasingly hovering around writers' cottages and litigation is arising.

Acquired by back-breaking labor

It turns out that the plots of New Year's films can easily come to life in our harsh reality. Thus, the serious passions from the comedy “Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession” played out on the eve of the New Year in Peredelkino near Moscow. Anatoly Chubais personally experienced the misadventures of the robbed Shpak. What was taken out of his mansion, which had long been a bone of contention, was not suede jackets with VCRs, but, as befits Chubais, a modern “smart home” system. A pleasant addition to the “smart home” were 13 televisions.

Anatoly Chubais estimated the loot at more than 70 million rubles.

The property plunderers turned out to be angry builders, whom Chubais paid less for their work than they expected. However, according to the Mash telegram channel, the police discovered all this wealth not from the masons and foremen, but in the house of a much wealthier person - a member of the Parnassus party, Musa Sadayev. According to some reports, Musa Sadaev is well acquainted with Ilya Suchkov, with whom the head of Rusnano has been fighting for the right to own a house in Peredelkino for several years. In this story, which could become the plot for an entire series, Anatoly Chubais will give the robbed Shpak a hundred points ahead.

Anatoly Chubais

Let's start with the fact that, having become nervous from the treacherous theft of a “smart home,” Chubais, according to Mash, admitted to investigators that the entire house was worth about $40 million. This figure, as expressed by Chubais, varies depending on the circumstances, but in any case it amounts to millions of dollars. Construction of the mansion next to Boris Pasternak's dacha began in 2012, probably as a wedding gift to his current wife Avdotya Smirnova. You never tire of being amazed at such luxurious gifts, especially since the groom, even with Chubais’s very immodest income, would have to save for it for several years, even denying himself food.

Musa Sadayev

All this time, the head of Rusnano was deeply married and could hardly afford such harsh savings. By the way, in the same 2012 he officially divorced. The official also had to pay a price for the changes in his personal life. In particular, the family’s country house with an area of ​​2039.2 sq.m. was registered in the name of Anatoly Chubais’s first wife, Marina Vishnevskaya. and plots of land with a total area of ​​14.7 thousand square meters. m. The details of the divorce and division of property between Chubais and Vishnevskaya are unknown, but, apparently, the ex-wife did not leave empty-handed.

Borrow until payday

Let's return to Chubais's cozy family nest in Peredelkino. We were not able to see miracles of savings, but there were some miracles here. You could say they are just getting started. When Anatoly Chubais was already preparing to celebrate his housewarming, it became known that the construction of a house for the odious official was carried out by the company SFO Concept AG (Switzerland). The scale of the project is truly grandiose: the mansion is 2,656 sq. m. m., as well as a guest house with an area of ​​about 600 sq.m., a security house with an area of ​​736 sq.m. m. and a garage, which can compete in size with elite Moscow apartments - 374 sq. m. All this splendor spreads over 1.6 hectares side by side with Boris Pasternak’s dacha, which has the status of the writer’s house-museum. Admirers of Pasternak could see instead of the landscapes that inspired him the scenes of the family idyll of Anatoly Chubais, but the unfortunate visitors to Pasternak’s dacha will only be greeted by the dull view of a high fence.

Having sighed about the imperfection of the laws that made it possible to destroy the natural landscapes surrounding the museum, let’s move on to the material side of the project. Land in Peredelkino has never been cheap, and the owners clearly did not skimp on construction. According to the current owner of SFO Concept AG, Ilya Suchkov, the entire property complex is estimated at $36 million. A fair and at the same time awkward question arises: why and, most importantly, at whose expense is a certain Swiss SFO Concept AG building palaces for Chubais? The answer lies on the surface: only Chubais himself could try so hard for the benefit of Chubais.

Register of shareholders of SFO Concept AG as of 2011

Indeed, at the time the construction of the house in Peredelkino began, the sole owner of SFO Concept AG was Anatoly Chubais. He did not mention the Swiss company in his declarations, so that no one would envy someone else’s happiness. One of Forbes' interlocutors calls SFO Concept the management company of Chubais' assets, which hints at their large number. For some reason, Chubais’s so-called office family did not have funds for the owner’s architectural whims - SFO Concept built the golden chambers with borrowed funds. In a happy year for the head of Rusnano, 2012, they were lent by the offshore O1 Trust Services ltd (Cyprus) of Dmitry Mints. Chubais not only knew his father Boris Mints well, but also ran a common business. The amount of the two loans totaled $21.9 million, the lending terms were the most friendly: 2.5% per annum with the loans due in 2022.

Documents for one of the loans

Everything was going well until Russian officials were banned from having assets abroad. And Anatoly Chubais turned out to be an extremely conscientious official. He immediately sold SFO Concept, fortunately, he didn’t have to look for a buyer for long. This was the general director of the company, Ilya Suchkov. Suchkov’s father worked with Chubais at the State Property Committee in the distant past, and his brother was an adviser to Anatoly Borisovich for a long time. Relying on long-standing acquaintances and trusting relationships has failed the experienced reformer of the Russian economy.

Simplicity is enough for every Chubais

Of course, Chubais planned to at least become the full owner of the treasured mansion. Moreover, since 2015, he is no longer required to declare his income - all the assets of the state corporation have been transferred to LLC Management Company Rusnano, where Chubais has a modest but significant 1% in the authorized capital. Now he is a businessman free from any financial restrictions. But along with the desired freedom, Anatoly Chubais came to realize how poorly he understands people. Ilya Suchkov was not going to just part with his house in Peredelkino.

At this stage, the versions of the former and current owners of the Swiss company SFO Concept AG differ radically. Suchkov claims that Chubais should have bought the house at its market value ($36 million according to Suchkov), but in the end he offered $12 million for his estate. Note that it was not difficult to take the deal “to zero” and re-borrow from the friendly Mints family. In 2015, having freed himself from the heavy burden of declarations, Anatoly Chubais unexpectedly earned over 1 billion rubles and could easily buy a house for $36 million. This amount went to him after the sale of the Perspective Companies closed-end mutual fund, in which Chubais’s share was slightly less than 50%. The rest of the fund was owned by Boris Mints, whose son so generously lent money to Anatoly Borisovich.

Anatoly Chubais and Boris Mints

However, why pay a billion if you can keep it for yourself, and other people will pay the debts. Having worked with Chubais for so many years, Ilya Suchkov understood what the boss was getting at. He didn’t plan to be left with multimillion-dollar debts to someone else’s friend. In April 2016, Suchkov, on behalf of SFO Concept AG, sold the Peredelkino house into good hands - for himself. The contract even indicates the amount of the transaction: the same 36 million dollars. It is unclear where he was able to get them, only from now on SFO Concept AG has nothing but debts, and Suchkov has a house next door to the Pasternak Museum.

Contract for the purchase and sale of a house in Peredelkino

Chubais did not grieve for long. Always faithfully following the letter of the law, he entrusted the protection of his rights to the police. In the fall of 2016, a criminal case was opened under Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Fraud”). The plot of the crime is as follows: an unidentified person, on behalf of the company SFO Concept AG, borrowed $21.9 million from O1 Trust Services ltd Dmitry Mints for the construction of a residential complex, and then “concluded a purchase and sale agreement between SFO Concept AG and the owner Ilya Suchkov himself.” In this simple way, the investigation hints that the unidentified person is Suchkov, ignoring documents signed by Chubais.

At the same time, SFO Concept was hit with a barrage of claims from offshore creditors. And all these creditors as one trust the fairest Russian court in the world. Thus, O1 Trust Services ltd appealed to the Moscow Arbitration Court, demanding that Suchkov’s company return $24 million. It is noteworthy that in this process an expert assessment appeared that assessed the estate of Pasternak’s new neighbors at $8.4 million. Fabulous luck haunts Anatoly Chubais, which cannot be said about Suchkov. The second lawsuit against SFO Concept AG was filed by the Cypriot offshore company Crizna Holdings ltd, which lent another $7.5 million for a house in Peredelkino. Crizna entrusted the fate of the debt to the arbitration court of the Bryansk region.

The expectations of the creditors of SFO Concept AG were fully justified - their claims were satisfied. Ilya Suchkov was arrested as part of a criminal case initiated in the summer of 2017. The confrontation between businessman Suchkov and the mastodon of the Russian bureaucracy Anatoly Chubais continues with a score of 3:0 in favor of the latter. The outcome of the competition is practically a foregone conclusion.

The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation accuses several members of the board of the state corporation Rusnano of embezzling more than 300 million rubles. The head of the state corporation, Anatoly CHUBAIS, commented on the accusations with irony, calling them pre-election PR for one of the deputies. Anatoly Borisovich can afford to treat such statements this way. If something happened, he had long guaranteed a comfortable old age for himself and his loved ones. The ex-wife, Maria VISHNEVSKAYA, who still lives in her ex-husband’s luxurious estate in the elite village of Zhavoronki near Moscow, is not in poverty either.

Every local resident knows the Chubais mansion in Zhavoronki. The huge territory is fenced with a high green fence, densely dotted with video cameras. Anatoly Borisovich acquired this property in the mid-90s. Previously, there was a kindergarten of the Plant named after 1905, where children were taken for the summer. It was then that Chubais, who served as deputy chairman of the Russian government for economics and financial policy, took an eye on her.

The tidbit among the pines and birches also pleased his friend and adviser for work in the government, and then director for humanitarian projects of Rusnano OJSC, Leonid Gozman. Recently, Leonid Yakovlevich quietly left this post. Perhaps in connection with the accusations of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation of the theft of huge sums by a number of state corporation managers? Now Gozman works as the director of the Perspektiva foundation for public-analytical initiatives, so our prospects are very bright.

In the distant 90s, colleagues offered to buy the land at a reasonable price to the creative team of the School of Modern Play theater. Chief director Joseph Raikhelgauz liked the site. He was joined by several other creative colleagues, among whom were Bulat Okudzhava and Albert Filozov. Without hesitation, they divided what had previously belonged to the children. Chubais took the largest piece of land for himself, building a three-story mansion. He moved into it with his second wife, Maria Vishnevskaya, whom he married in 1990. He met this charming lady at the Leningrad Engineering and Economic Institute named after. Palmiro Tolyatti, where both worked: Anatoly Borisovich as an assistant professor, and Maria Davydovna as a senior researcher.

Chased the dogs across the field

“I remember Borisovich, when he was still driving a Niva,” Chubais’ neighbor, retired colonel Alexey Ivanovich, began to reminisce. - He brought this whole gang here along with Gozman and Raikhelgauz. But to be honest, there was desolation here before them. Because of the muddy roads, it used to be impossible to get to the house. In order to get through even in a jeep, it was necessary to lay pieces of iron and logs on the road. I personally helped Chubais carry logs. The road to his house just passes me. I see Chubais is stuck. I immediately went out and helped out like a neighbor. But he is a good man: he quickly paved everything, laid new sewer pipes... He really loved to chase dogs across the field. Surrounded by bodyguards, of course.

Since he married TV presenter Duna Smirnova, he has been visiting our area on and off. His ex-wife Masha lives here.

When Chubais divorced Maria Vishnevskaya, they said that he left her all his real estate...

He didn’t leave the property, he left her to live on his estate. But the site and everything built on it still belongs to Borisovich. It’s a pity, we rarely see Masha - they carry her around in a car.

We are told that Chubais also wants to buy a house with a plot that belongs to the artist Albert Filozov. Maybe for the children from his first marriage, who knows. Filozov wrote a huge advertisement for the sale. He asks for 16 million. But it’s risky to sell to anyone.

Filozov's mansion

The house of People's Artist of the Russian Federation Albert Filozov looks more than modest against the backdrop of the mansions of his high-ranking neighbors. I wonder if it's worth the asking price? We called the phone number listed in the ad. A pleasant female voice confirmed that the plot with the house was indeed for sale. An agent named Elizaveta is doing this. She introduced herself as a family friend and confidant of the 78-year-old owner.

Albert Leonidovich is very sorry to part with this place,” Elizabeth complained. - But he can’t come here often. This year I visited only twice. He is not a summer resident by nature. The Filozovs are vacationing abroad. They have a tradition: every summer they visit at least two countries. That's what they did now. Therefore, the sale of the house was postponed until the fall.

“Lizonka,” Albert asks me, “maybe we will leave at least a small piece of land behind us? It’s painful for me to leave here, because the air here is wonderful.” But I dissuade him. There is no one to look after these possessions. Electricity and heating also cost money. A plot of 15 acres where the grass needs to be weeded and leaves removed.

The total area of ​​the house is 154 square meters. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, dining room, bathroom. On the second there is a huge hall. The third floor, although not so large, has two separate rooms of ten meters each. Usually guests stayed in them overnight.

There are apple trees, cherries, and currant bushes in the garden. Previously, when Albert Leonidovich’s daughters were little, he brought them here to ride bicycles, but now they have other worries. Anya is already 15, Nastya is 22. Now it’s more interesting for them to hang out in Moscow. Natalya, his wife, and even more so this plot turned out to be unnecessary. She is a person unadapted to the earth.

Albert Leonidovich works a lot, it is important for him to retire somewhere. That’s why I’m now looking for a one-room apartment for him in Arkhangelskoye. This is not far from his city home. There is also fresh air there, but he doesn’t need anything else. And it’s easier to get there than to Zhavoronki. He has been riding trains all his life and has never sat behind the wheel.

The unfortunate privatizer lived with Maria VISHNEVSKAYA for 22 years

Mere pennies

The building looks dilapidated. Surely all communications will have to be changed?

Come on! - Elizabeth reacted violently. - Just put the roof in order. Everything was done here to last, using the latest technology. Our neighbor Anatoly Chubais had a hand in conducting communications. He did everything well for himself and did not skimp on his neighbors. Two years ago, after marrying TV presenter Duna Smirnova, Anatoly Borisovich moved out of his house, but according to documents the mansion still belongs to him.

His ex-wife Maria now lives in the estate. She is sick and needs care. So Chubais visits regularly. After all, we lived together for 22 years.

Neighbors say that Chubais has his eye on Filozov’s plot.

Why not? The site is beautiful. And it’s inexpensive: 16 million. For him - mere pennies. Maybe Leonid Gozman will help too. He, too, has been eyeing Albert Leonidovich’s house for a long time.

Chubais House

Chubais's house was robbed at the end of December 2017. We are talking about a huge mansion in Peredelkino, near Moscow.

From here, according to sources, 13 televisions and other intricacies of smart home appliances were taken out. In total, we are talking about 70 million rubles in damage. According to the main version, the expensive equipment was taken out by builders who were not paid extra by the customer for the work. However, the most surprising thing in this story is that later all the equipment will be found in the possession of Musa Sadayev, a member of the Parnassus party. He, in turn, is a good friend of Ilya Suchkov from “”, who has been fighting for ownership of Chubais’s house for several years.

Anatoly Chubais told investigators that his house was worth about $40 million. It was built right next to Boris Pasternak's dacha, which is now a museum. The plots are separated by a high fence, obscuring the official's expensive home from the philistine gaze. And the home itself is truly grandiose - a mansion with an area of ​​2,656 square meters. m., as well as a guest house with an area of ​​about 600 sq.m., a security house with an area of ​​736 sq.m. m. and a garage that can compete with the size of elite Moscow apartments - 374 sq. m.

The construction of the mansion was carried out by the Swiss company AG, which is now owned by Ilya Suchkov. He valued Chubais' house at $36 million. This raises a logical question: exactly what money was used to build such a mansion, which the same Kuzbass miners would never be able to afford, even if they all chipped in with ten years’ salary?

At the start of construction of the Chubais house in 2012, SFO Concept AG belonged to Anatoly Chubais. True, no information about the company was mentioned in the declarations, but one of Forbes magazine’s interlocutors calls SFO Concept the management company of Chubais’s assets, which hints at their large number.

Chubais House

Chubais, according to Ilya Suchkov, was supposed to buy the house for $36 million, that is, at the market price. However, he offered $12 million for his estate. Although at that time he could have paid the full amount, since in 2015 Anatoly Chubais’s income amounted to over 1 billion rubles, after the sale of a 50% stake in the closed-end mutual fund “Prospective Companies”. By the way, the second half of the shares was owned by Boris Mints.

The structure helped to take the mansion and 1.5 hectares of land from the former manager, whom the head of Rusnano accused of fraud

​​​​The head of the state corporation Rusnano became the owner of land and a mansion in the village of Peredelkino, not far from the dacha of the writer Boris Pasternak. Thus, Chubais was able to regain his estate, the construction of which began especially for him and director Avdotya Smirnova shortly after their wedding in 2012. The head of Rusnano tried for several years to take away the property from the former manager, who managed to register the project in his own name. A structure with which the official was very friendly helped Chubais return the property.

According to the data received and extracts from Rosreestr, on February 26, 2019, Chubais registered ownership of a land plot with an area of ​​1.56 hectares, as well as a three-story residential building located on it with an area of ​​2,656.8 square meters. m, guest house 585.9 sq. m, garage 374.6 sq. m, security house 736.7 sq. m and gas pipeline.

How Chubais lost his house

Chubais began building this house seven years ago.

In 2015, the plot and real estate were registered and registered in the name of the Swiss company SFO Concept AG, headed by the young financier Ilya Suchkov. According to Forbes, SFO was created by Chubais to manage his assets, but after Russian officials were banned from owning property abroad in 2013, the head of Rusnano sold the company to Suchkov.

Ilya Suchkov is the brother of Igor Suchkov, who was an adviser to Chubais for 17 years, and the son of Vasily Suchkov, who worked with Chubais when he headed the State Property Committee.

The company was transferred to Suchkov with loans, the largest of which in the amount of $22.9 million was provided by the businessman’s structure O1 Trust Services ltd. Chubais expected to buy the property for approximately this amount, but upon completion of construction, SFO stated that the land and the house were worth at least $50 million, Vedomosti is familiar with the head of Rusnano.

“At first they demanded that I buy a house at an inadequate price, and when I categorically refused, they began to send me secretly recorded recordings of business negotiations, with the threat of their publication,” Chubais outlined his complaints against Suchkov on Facebook.

In the summer of 2016, the Arbitration Court of the Bryansk Region arrested SFO property, including a house and land in the Moscow region, at the request of the second creditor, Crizna Holdings ltd. Suchkov claimed that this company was affiliated with Mints, but the businessman’s representatives denied this. And in 2017, the Tverskoy Court of Moscow brought Suchkov himself on charges of fraud.

As a result, in the fall of 2018, bailiffs put the plot and real estate in Peredelkino up for auction. The initial lot amount is 800 million rubles. Only one company, Ava Holding LLC, applied for participation, and the sale was declared invalid. Apparently, the company was registered specifically for trading: it was created on October 1, 2018 (submission of applications lasted until October 17), and was liquidated on July 24, 2019. The owner and general director of the company is Natela Kurdadze.

In the fall, Andrei Trapeznikov, Deputy Chairman of the Board for External Communications of Rusnano, when asked whether Ava Holding was related to Chubais, said that this topic was not related to Rusnano, and therefore the company did not comment on it.

How Chubais returned the house

Then events began to develop in an amazing way. On December 24, 2018, the bailiff transfers the SFO property that was not sold at the auction to the claimant, the Cyprus company Tylsoca Limited. This is the new name of O1 Trust Services ltd, which provided loans to the SFO.

On the first working day of the new year, January 8, the SFO hastened to file a demand with the Krasnogorsk City Court to cancel the bailiffs' decision, and on January 18, Friday, the court terminated the proceedings, explaining that it was not possible to appeal the bailiff's decision based on the documents of the arbitration court. it is necessary in the arbitration court. File a claim with the Moscow Region SFO Arbitration Court only on Monday, January 21. By this time, the 10-day period allotted by law for appealing the bailiff's decision had expired.

Suchkov’s company also asked the court to prohibit the alienation of the disputed real estate until the end of the proceedings, but on February 5 it was denied interim measures. By this time, namely on January 25, Tylsoca had already managed to register land and real estate in Peredelkino as its property. And on February 26, she sold the estate to Chubais, as follows from Rosreestr data. The SFO is now trying to challenge the bailiff's decision to transfer the estate to Tylsoca in the Court of Appeal.

Information about the case in which Tylsoca managed to obtain a writ of execution for the recovery of Chubais’s estate was not found in the databases of Russian courts. But from another SFO lawsuit it follows that the estate itself was valued too cheaply upon transfer: Suchkov’s company is demanding that the valuation from the AutoVelyu agency be invalidated, but so far to no avail. The next hearing in this case is September 2.
