The “interlocutor” found a premium-class apartment with the daughter of the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov, Leonela. And at the same time – two sites located on the “lands of security and defense”
Tenth in efficiency
“Where does Manturov get so much money?” – this phrase is one of the first Google issues when trying to find out the income of the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Indeed, Denis Manturov’s earnings look grandiose even against the background of other high-ranking Russian officials. For the past three years, he has held the record for the highest income in the government. In 2021, Manturov earned almost 705 million rubles, in 2020 – 740 million, and in 2019 – 586 million.
But really, where does he get so much money from? Manturov himself, in an interview with RBC two years ago, explained that he “definitely had nothing to hide”: before joining the civil service, he worked in the real sector for 20 years, and therefore “there was an opportunity to earn money.” Funds from those incomes are placed on deposits and earn interest. The same applies to assets that are “remained from the former life.”
“Basically, these assets are not a secret to anyone – either they are the hotel business, or they are assets in real estate that bring passive income, this does not require any participation,” Manturov said, noting that they were transferred to the management company
True, it is strange that deposits and assets began to rise sharply just a few years ago. So, from 2012 to 2016, he earned from 103 to 129 million rubles. But then the numbers start to rise. In 2017, Manturov already declared 213 million rubles, and in 2018 – even 443 million. There are no explanations for this.
Perhaps Manturov receives a large salary. But the effectiveness of the Ministry of Industry and Trade is a big question. So, it is this department that is responsible for the development of aviation technology. The Sobesednik, on the other hand, has repeatedly told about the critical state of the Russian aviation industry after the imposition of sanctions. Civil aviation is heavily dependent on foreign components and chips, and therefore aircraft have already begun to be dismantled for parts in order to provide other aircraft with parts.
Things are bad with the automotive industry. Experts predict a serious decline in the industry due to the lack of all the same Western components (which Sobesednik also wrote about more than once). Demand for cars is falling. And employees of the enterprises remain without work. Thus, in early September AvtoVAZ laid off 2,000 people at a plant in Izhevsk.
According to a poll by the Romir Center, Russians do not consider Manturov’s agency effective: it occupies only tenth place in the rating of citizens’ trust. But all these problems do not affect the financial position of the minister. And his family.
Got money, hold on
Denis Manturov is one of the largest landlords in the Russian government. The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade has a palace with an area of 3,000 square meters, located in the very center of the resort of Gelendzhik. There is also his wife’s house with an area of 814.1 sq. m. Several years ago, “Interlocutor” found out that Manturov and his father acquired land in the elite Pirogovo yacht-golf club near Moscow – on the shores of the Quiet Bay of the Klyazma reservoir. But in September last year, 1.1 hectares of land, two guest houses (1224 and 496 sq. m), two outbuildings were acquired by Roman Abramovich.
And the official is the owner of a giant apartment of 480 square meters in Bolshoy Tishinsky Lane in Moscow. Based on current prices, it can cost more than half a billion rubles.
All these square meters (except for the father’s) were indicated in Manturov’s declaration.
And now about what is not there. The minister’s mother is the owner of a mansion on the Klyazma reservoir near Moscow with an area of more than 4,000 square meters. m and cost about 5 billion rubles. Vedomosti also reported that the family of the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade owns the five-star Chekhoff Moscow Curio Collection by Hilton hotel on Malaya Dmitrovka Street in the center of Moscow.
The children of Manturov, Evgeny and Leonela, do not live in poverty either.

Young Landowners
The Manturovs Jr. are the owners of land plots with a total area of more than 8500 square meters. m, learned “Interlocutor”. The possessions of the children of the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade are all located on the same Klyazma reservoir, near the village of Sorokino, where their grandmother lives. Judging by satellite images, the Manturovs’ mansions are located right on the banks of the Moscow Canal, which connects the river of the same name with the Volga.
Lush vegetation can hide the owners from prying eyes passing through the canal. And there can be many of them – after all, a parking lot for boats and a moored large ship are visible nearby.
On fine summer days, Leonela and Evgeny can dive if they wish. Satellite images show that there is a structure on the shore that is very similar to a diving board. And if you don’t want to go to the river, you can swim in your own pools – fortunately, they are on both sites.
But there is an oddity. Both sites, judging by the map of Rosreestr, are used “for the repair of boats, the construction of boathouses, and the organization of tourism.” And they also have an unusual category: “lands of industry, energy, transport, communications, broadcasting, television, computer science, lands for space activities, lands of defense, security and lands of other special purposes.”
Only lazy people do not talk about the defense and security of Russia now. Perhaps the children of the minister are engaged in the protection and protection of state borders?
Wedding at the golf club
In 2015, Leonela Manturova got married and changed her last name. The media reported that the celebration took place in the Pestovo yacht golf club near Moscow in the village of Rumyantsevo. A certain Denis Smirnov was called the chosen one of the minister’s daughter. This year, Leonela came to the premiere of the film “1941. Wings over Berlin, accompanied by a certain Artem. The media claimed that this was her new husband. According to the Interlocutor, he bears the surname Petrov. Who he is and what he does is unclear. Just like about Denis Smirnov.
Apartment at the Institute of Noble Maidens
As the Interlocutor found out, the daughter of Minister Manturov has another expensive asset. This is an apartment in the elite residential complex RedSide on the 2nd Chernogryazskaya street in Moscow. Realtors position it as a premium residential complex built in an area with a rich history.
“In the 18th century, on the site of the massif, there was the estate of the Moscow governor A. Zakrevsky, great military leaders, princes, poets, among them A. Pushkin, D. Davydov, A. Yermolov were frequent guests. Later, the residence was sold, and the premises were rebuilt as the Institute for Noble Maidens, ”says one of the ads.
The area of \u200b\u200bthe apartment of Leonela Manturova (Smirnova) is almost 150 “squares”. Only the cadastral value of housing approaches 40 million rubles, and the market value may exceed 115 million rubles. (housing of a slightly smaller area in this residential complex is now being sold for 105 million). The average salary in Russia is approximately 66 thousand rubles. So it turns out: in order to earn money for the same apartment as Manturova’s, an ordinary citizen must work for almost 160 years.
Although not everyone can afford even renting an apartment in RedSide. A one-room apartment with an area of 48 “squares” is rented out for as much as 130 thousand rubles. Manturova became the owner of an elite living space in 2018, when she was only 23 years old. But could she afford such a purchase? The answer to this question can be given by the state register of legal entities. As follows from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, at that moment she had one and only business. But it was not profitable.
In 2017, Leonela became a co-owner of Horse Central Market LLC, which was engaged in the sale and production of goods for equestrian sports. But the business did not go – according to SPARK, 2017 ended for the company with a loss of 4.2 million rubles. And in 2018, the problems worsened – another minus 10.4 million.
Perhaps an expensive gift to Leonela was made by her father, Minister of Industry Denis Manturov. In 2018, he would have had enough income for this. But there are still no reasonable answers to the question of where Manturov has so much money.
