Kolbin Surgutneftegaz biography

Timchenko is not connected with any of the mentioned Cypriot companies. ” With Timchenko, these offshores really have no formal connection, but the legal entity can be related to other large Russian businessmen. This can be found if you study who leads offshore. The former owner of both companies is a billionaire Dmitry Bosov, the owner of Sibantracite and a good acquaintance of the Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu.

So, the head of the military department stood up for the businessman, when the relationship with the head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, deteriorated. In May, he committed suicide. Christina Goodman of Makola Holdings LTD worked in the British company of the former first deputy chairman of the Iter oil and gas company Gennady Skidanova in the year of Itera bought Rosneft. Potanin is the old ally of Bogdanov, his “ONEKSIM” supported the leadership of Surgut at a collateral auction, and in return “Surgutneftegaz” kept his money in ONEXIM-Bank.

Although Timchenko has a very small percentage of Surgut shares, it is much more connected with the company: a significant part of Surgutneftegaz exports has been through Timchenko and his partner for more than 20 years. Chapter VI. Gennady Timchenko has been engaged in the export of oil and oil products from the end of the 10ths. In the beginning of the x, the company became a defendant in the scandal associated with the supply of food, and fell into the materials of the Salier report.

All Timchenko’s acquaintances say that he is a talented negotiator and lobbyist who can find the right approach to a person. He has a well -known lobbying resource; This is the main thing that he introduces, acquiring a particular asset. Having taken Timchenko to a share, you solve the current problems of the company and you can be sure that there will be no problems with officials, since no one will repair the companies in Russia, where the co-owner is a close friend of the president, ”Vedomosti wrote with reference to sources in the business community.

Gennady Timchenko Source: Kremlin. In the year he came to the master at the Izhora plant near Leningrad, where he worked for five years. And when the classmate invited me to go to his place in the management of external relations at the factory, I did not hesitate for a long time. After a huge workshop, where the hands were forever in the elbow in oil, this work seemed very interesting, with the prospect of traveling around the world, to participate in exhibitions.

They took me because I knew German well, and they needed an engineer who understood in construction and equipment, ”the businessman said. In the year, 70 enterprises in the country received the right to foreign trade, among them there was also the oil refinery Kinef or Kirishinefteorgsintez, located in the city of Kirishi of the Leningrad Region: “By this time I was already working in the administration of foreign trade in St.

Petersburg. Nobody ever talked to the Kirishi factory with the outside world, they did not see a single contract in the eye there. And then the commercial director of the plant Adolf Smirnov came to our department and found Evgenia Malov there. And he already recommended us and Andrei Katkov, we were sitting in the same office, sometimes playing chess. Since Malov was with a foreign trade education, he was given the position of leader.

Katkov was responsible for imports, I - for export. We turned out to be the only organization in the city that could trade petrochemistry and sell quotas for export of oil products. ” Thus began the story of Kinex or Kirishineftechimeksport - the export unit of the Kinef oil refinery, and then an independent organization, one of the key contractors of Surgutneftegaz. Almost immediately, in the years, the company was involved in a loud scandal associated with the supply of food in St.

Petersburg. In return, the city was supposed to receive food, but it was never delivered. The commission report was submitted to the prosecutor’s office and control department of the presidential administration, but the investigation was not finished. The firms were completely fake, one -day. Licenses for the export of raw materials were issued by our St. Petersburg Committee on Foreign Economic Relations, that is, its leader Putin.

He signed them either herself rarely, or his deputy Anikin. They did not have the right to issue these licenses. And goods with these licenses went abroad. And food was not received. And it was not arrived, ”Salier later said. But the plant itself was not engaged in export - for these purposes, Kinex was created by Kirishineftekhimekport. I did not participate in this scheme. I do not remember any scandal.

As far as I remember, the company put food, as promised. ” Report of the Salier Commission Source: The Dossier Center Timchenko confirms: Kinex participated in the food program, it was then that the company's partners first met Putin, Timchenko talked with him the most with him. Timchenko traveled to Finland and there he rocker Putin, skiing with him in Austria.

In general, he worked for wear: he could drink more, and he could do it every day without visible health damage. So the division of duties happened, ”says the interlocutor.In the year, Timchenko talked about the “Case Salier” already completely differently: “For a long time I did not even understand where it all came from. After all, we were checked all the time. Although I have not met evidence that this dossier has a real reason.

” The scandal was not reflected on Kinex. On the contrary, the company has only grown and expanded since then. The history of Kinex and Timchenko’s first steps in the oil business is largely known from the materials of the London Court. In the year, “Sovcomflot” filed lawsuits against its former general director Dmitry Skarge and entrepreneur Yuri Nikitin. They were accused of renting a court and selling them at low prices.

The proceedings ended only in the year, the court rejected the claims of the “Sovcomflot”. Scarga headed the company in years at this post was replaced by former Minister of Transport Sergey Frank; His son Gleb Frank is the son -in -law of Timchenko, and in the x years he worked at the Kinex Timchenko; Nikitin did business with Timchenko. As a result, the first of Vladimir Putin’s closest friends was in court in court.

Chapter VII. The speculation, election and daily in the second half of the X Surgutneftegaz was forced to start working with firms closely connected with Vladimir Putin. A significant part of the export of the oil company began to control the Kinex Timchenko. Malov was very creative, but somewhat gullible, he believed that people are generally good, circumstances make them be bad.

And although in the year Gennady Timchenko, in fact, conquered all the successes and conquests, it cannot be said that he had gone at their expense. ” At first, Kinex was a commission agent: he was engaged in the execution of contracts between the refinery and buyers for a percentage, and also kept the currency of the plant and invested it in the purchase of equipment, including for new business projects.

Then the company received the status of a special exporter and was able to start the sale of oil products. Urals arose after in the year in the USSR it was allowed to create joint enterprises with foreigners. So the Urals trader appeared. The salary there was very decent, and work was almost the same as in a state organization. To whom to move to Finland, Katkov and Malov and I decided almost in priesthood, I didn’t really want to leave, ”Timchenko said.

Probably, these words of Bogdanov said in the year were to upset Timchenko. Bogdanov could not know him, because by that time they had been cooperating for several years and almost in the daily mode conducted tense negotiations. The acquaintance took place back in the middle of the X during the privatization of Surgutneftegaz. Then the oil company received part in the authorized capital of the Kirishi refineries, and Kinex became the minority shareholder of the plant.

He agreed, and we worked on these agreements for a couple of years. And then he just liked how we work, and cooperation continued, ”Timchenko said. According to him, the logistics component also contributed to warm relations: the Estonian entrepreneur Aadu Luukas, with the support of Kinex, built a terminal in Muuga, and in return the terminal was supposed to exceed the mainly volumes that Kinax supplied.

In general, the flow of competitors was constant, just cut off. ” I constantly flew there from Finland. Working with Bogdanov is very difficult. In the middle of the night he could call, start asking about tanks. I arranged interrogations to my accountants.

He, of course, is an extraordinary person, ”Timchenko complained. At the same time, the scheme traditional for the domestic market was used: the products were inexpensively purchased by an offshore structure, and then it was resold at a market price to real customers, the difference remained with an offshore. It is possible that the beginning of cooperation between Surgutneftegaz and Kinex is connected with another factor: it was at that time, as stated in the materials of the London Court, Timchenko "established good relations with Vladimir Putin." Other acquaintances of Putin then delivered a lot of trouble in the Petersburg market to the oil company.

Chapter VIII. In the circle of old acquaintances in St. Petersburg, part of the Assets of Surgutneftegaz went to the authoritative businessmen with whom Putin collaborated during his work in the city hall. In the year, when Surgut, in accordance with the presidential decree, was controlled by the refinery and oil products in St. Petersburg, the city hall was worried that a “gasoline monopolist” would appear in the city and unsuccessfully tried to lobby for the transfer of refineries to the city.

In the year, the fuel crisis broke out, Anatoly Sobchak accused Surgutneftegaz of what happened, and the company said that the authorities were not paying for the already released gasoline for gas stations and refuse to work on prepayment. Bogdanov tried to fight for St. Petersburg assets, went to the city hall for negotiations and took with him the chairman of the Duma of the Khanty-Mansi district Sergey Sobyanin.

It was then that Bogdanov and Sobyanin met Putin, says a friend of Timchenko.How the negotiations ended is not known, but in the year Surgutneftegaz came out of all enterprises, retaining only the refinery in the city and the region. But the main characters were probably not them. The Vice President of the PTK is Vladimir Barsukov Kumarin, the “night governor” of St.

Petersburg and the leader of the Tambov group, later convicted of numerous accusations. That is, large fuel consumers in the city. Ilya Traber. Source: Fontanka. So, after returning from the KGB residency in Dresden, Putin went to Traber for advice, the businessman’s guard said in his video blog: “It was in the summer, it was hot.
