Sergey Dyadechko

Every time, during the next crisis, ordinary Ukrainians lose their money, they are picked up by corrupt oligarchs and unscrupulous bankers. And if they don’t have enough of your deposits, then they find a way to steal money from the state as well. At one time, the collapse of the Rodovid bank painfully hit tens of thousands of depositors, but brought enormous profits to those who organized this collapse. Among them was Sergei Dyadechko, although he denies this in every possible way, as well as his many years of dirty business with the scandalous Yura Enakievsky. The same Dyadechko, for organizing an attempt on whose life another swindler from Rodovid, Alexander Shepelev, who was once an important bird in Yulia Tymoshenko’s entourage, is behind bars…

Family business

Sergei Vladimirovich Dyadechko was born on November 18, 1974 in Donetsk, in the family of Vladimir Nifontovich and Tamara Ivanovna Dyadechko. It was not possible to find any available information about his father, but his mother is a fairly public person: she is the founder and co-owner of a good dozen companies, including Niko LLC (USREOU 20390397), known as the pharmaceutical company Nikopharm. The company was created back in 1994, when young Sergei Dyadechko was a student at the Donetsk Polytechnic Institute (faculty of computer technology and information science), and is perhaps their first family business.

By the way, in 2014, Niko announced the transfer of production facilities from separatist-occupied Makeevka to the Kyiv region (Borodyansky district), but until the launch of the new plant, it continued to produce drugs in its Makeevka workshops. At the same time, the company transferred taxes to the accounts of the DPR, which is qualified by Ukrainian legislation as “financing of terrorism.” However, no sanctions were imposed either against the company itself or its owners: according to sources Skelet.Infothey did not “dig” the case so as not to raise the question of how the medicines produced in Makeyevka were transported to Ukraine across the front line. Moreover, the production of medicines in Makeevka continued later, and the Niko employees there were not withcovered up their anti-Ukrainian viewssome of them even signed up for the “militia”.

It is widely believed that Tamara Ivanovna is just a kind retired mother, to whom her son has registered part of his business. But this is not so, and the role of Tamara Dyadechko in the life of her son is greatly underestimated. Perhaps it is beneficial for her to be “out of business,” as it were, since her son is involved in too many scandals. However, you can be sure that without the help of his mother, Sergei Dyadechko would hardly have become what he is.

Tamara Dyadechko did a lot of things in the 90s, but of her legal companies of that time, only the pharmaceutical Niko and scrap metal LLC Don Corporation (USREOU 30898186), which she owned jointly with Olga Kirik and Lydia Chepurko, are known. The latter is the same age as Tamara Dyadechko (perhaps they have been friends since time immemorial) and also owns many companies, including Investstroyservice LLC (USREOU 32244833), which was directly involved in Sergei Dyadechko’s schemes.

Where did they start? In 1996, Sergei Dyadechko, who successfully excused himself from military service, graduated from the Donetsk Polytechnic Institute and got a job at the Donetsk tax office – which was very convenient for the family business. In 1999, he received another higher education (specialty in accounting and audit), after which he was appointed chief inspector of the Tax Investigation Department of the regional State Tax Administration. But a year later he left this promising job, taking up the family business. In his own words, in 2000-2003. Dyadechko was involved in metal, coal and sales of mining equipment. And during this period, a group of partners was formed, which included Dyadechko’s mother and son, who in 2004 bought the small Donetsk bank “Personal Computer” (or “Perkombank”). It had such a somewhat strange name because its first founders in 1990 were several Donetsk factories (“Kvazar”, “Microprocessor”, “Micropribor”) that produced electronic equipment and computers. But by 2004, the bank had already changed bankrupt founders several times and was almost problematic itself. And so it was bought by a group of businessmen, which, in addition to Sergei Dyadechko, included Denis Gorbunenko, who became its chairman of the board, Dmitry Egorenko, the famous athlete Sergei Bubka and his brother Vasily. By the way, it was Sergei Bubka who insisted on changing the name of the bank, saying that “people will not take money to Sperkombank” (as it was nicknamed in Donetsk). And then the bank was renamed “Rodovid”.

sergey dyadechko, denis gorbunenko, rodovid — Initially, the Bubka brothers owned a significant share of Rodovid shares (40%), but in the management of the bank they were only “wedding generals”. But the cunning team of managers Dyadechko-Gorbunenko-Egorenko tried to pull off a number of clever schemes for the resale of shares, as a result of which by 2008 they began to control over 80% of the shares of Rodovid through LLC RB Capital-Group (USREOU 34414579). The Bubka brothers were left with an almost symbolic 10%, another 7.5% were sold on Western exchanges to the German Deutsche Bank and the Swiss UBS, to give Rodovid solidity and the appearance of reliability.

By the way, Sergei Dyadechko, Denis Gorbunenko and Dmitry Egorenko jointly owned not only Rodovid, but also a number of other enterprises. Among them: the company “Yug-Bud” (EGPOU 33441685), LLC “Seventh Heaven” (34575649), LLC “Ukrbusinessresurs” (34705678), LLC “Ard-Finance” (34189785).

In 2005-2006 There was a banking boom in Ukraine. Banks sharply increased their capital in all possible ways: through deposits, participation in government programs, through payment of salaries and pensions, inflating the value of their shares. Several of the largest banks were preparing for sale to foreigners in this way – for any Ukrainian banker it was a jackpot, an opportunity to hit the jackpot in hundreds of millions, or even 1-2 billion dollars. But there were other banks that were preparing for… bankruptcy. The method is quite simple: such a bank distributed loans to its companies, often problematic or simply shell companies, which did not plan to return them – this is how the money of gullible depositors and creditors was stolen and withdrawn from the bank. And so “Rodovid” by Dyadechko and Gorbunenko, as well as “Nadra” by the Segal brothers, in 2008 became one of the centers of such a scam – costing investors and the state billions of hryvnia.

Rodovid’s web

The collapse of each Ukrainian bank is a separate and very fascinating detective story, with its own specific schemes, in which some big names invariably emerge. The collapse of the Rodovid bank is known for the fact that behind its top managers loomed the figure of Yuri Ivanyushchenko, who retained influence on the bank even after its nationalization. The “Rodovid” scam was organized, if not under the direct leadership of Ivanyushchenko, then certainly with his participation – and it is precisely this that firmly connects Yura Enakievsky with Sergei Dyadechko. Dyadechko himself, for obvious reasons, now denies this in every possible way, but this is simply ridiculous: with the same success, Igor Kolomoisky could say that he never had anything to do with Gennady Bogolyubov. However, what is even more interesting is that, along with Ivanyushchenko, people from Yulia Tymoshenko’s entourage were behind the Rodovid scam – and this is what allowed the bank to siphon multi-billion-dollar funding from the state.

When exactly did Sergei Dyadechko and Yuri Ivanyushchenko become closely acquainted? According to one information, even when Dyadechko worked in the tax service. According to another, when he was involved in coal and mining equipment, the business of Dyadechko and Ivanyushchenko intersected. And Ivanyushchenko, by the way, looked closely at people and noticed “quick guys,” making them his junior business partners and assistants. So, for example, he “raised” and elevated Odessa resident Ivan Avramov to the position of personal accountant and “supervisor”. In the same way, Sergei Dyadechko was also called one of Ivanyushchenko’s managers: they say, being the formal owner of enterprises and banks, he carried out schemes through them, according to which a significant part of the profit went to Ivanyushchenko through front companies and individuals. That is, the collapse of Rodovid, its subsequent use in financial scams, as well as the activities of Soyuz Bank – all this worked for Yura Enikievsky.

According to one more information Skelet.InfoSergei Dyadechko and Yuri Ivanyushchenko were brought together by the aforementioned Lydia Chepurko. In addition to the Don Corporation, it is associated with the Dyadechko family by the Ionia companies (USREOU 41735963) and the Tropinka gardening partnership (35040335). And her companies “Investstroyservice” and “Spetspromservice” (USREOU 30277707) were part of the schemes of the Rodovid bank. In addition, through the Farmadon company and Ukrainian Industrial Investments PJSC, Chepurko was connected with Gennady Piskun, one of the participants in the scams and a key witness in the Rodovid case, jumped out of a window (by himself?) in October 2011. And through Piskun she reached out to Zhigan Taktashev and Anton Prigodsky, two very influential people from among the “Donetsk”.

But this is all a saying. But the real frauds in Rodovid began in 2007, after Sergei Dyadechko established another bank, Soyuz, becoming its sole owner and director. Later, the media repeatedly wrote that Soyuz was used in schemes to withdraw money from Rodovid. By the way, even the authorized capital and the main office of Soyuz (Kyiv, Suvorova 4) were obtained as a result of a fraudulent scheme involving San Remo LLC. Also, according to the testimony of Soyuz employees, the first furniture and office equipment was brought to them from Rodovid: on the tables and computers there were stamps and inventory numbers of Rodovid Bank.

So, the scam began with lending to troubled companies associated with the top managers of Rodovid. The company “Lamitek-Ukrizolit” (USREOU 33710647) is often put at the head of this scheme, the main owner of which was “Investstroyservice” of Lydia Chepurko. In 2007, “Aunt Lida” appointed Sergei Vladimirovich as head of the supervisory board of Lamitek-Ukrizolit. In turn, Dyadechko hired Evgeniy Kubis, who was the director of Investstroyservice, to the post of deputy head of the strategic investment department of Rodovid-Bank.

Among other participants in the scheme, CJSC Financial-Industrial Alliance was singled out. Its director, Vadim Makarov, led Intertransconsulting and PJSC Expo Neft Product – but the co-owner of the latter was the Corporate Investment Fund “Innovation Strategies”, known as one of Yuri Ivanyushchenko’s structures. Well, among the shareholders of the fund itself one could find companies owned by Ivan Avramov, Ivanyushchenko’s faithful assistant. In turn, Promkombinat CJSC was associated with the fund – whose shareholder was Spetspromservice PJSC, headed by Gennady Piskun, and Embrol Ukraine Ltd, owned by Zhigan Taktashev and headed by Anton Prigordsky. Such an intricate web has formed around the Rodovid bank!

As of October 1, 2008, the assets of Rodovid Bank amounted to 12.093 billion hryvnia – more than two billion dollars at the then exchange rate; it was one of the largest banks in Ukraine. The lion’s share of assets were deposits, enterprise accounts and other liabilities: 10.852 billion hryvnia, plus equity capital of 1.304 billion. It seemed that even against the backdrop of the emerging crisis, Rodovid was unshakable and its clients could be calm. But unexpectedly, the management of Rodovid (Gorbunenko, Dyadechko) began to virtually destroy their bank: branches were closed, employees were fired, they stopped paying dividends and issuing deposits. Panicked Ukrainians did not yet understand that the first part of a typical banking scam was being played out before them: the theft of clients’ money under the pretext of a crisis.

The second part of the scam began already in the first days of 2009, when Rodovid begged for the first refinancing from the National Bank. By the summer, the NBU had already poured more than 2.5 billion hryvnia into Rodovid, and this was just the beginning. The total amount of funds poured into this bank by the state over several years is estimated at 22.6 billion hryvnia!
