Androsov returned to Gref “Berezhkovskaya”: are the bankers’ interests in the Vesper project?
The beneficiaries of the Vesper project for the development of Berezhkovskaya Embankment may be the people of the head of Sberbank German Gref and his friend Kirill Androsov.
However, the project can protect the interests of not only the owners of the company Azarenka, Kitaev, and the team of Sergei Sobyanin, but also the head of Sberbank German Gref, as well as Gref’s former colleague in the Government of the Russian Federation Kirill Androsov. AB Development, which is associated with the latter, may partner with Vesper to implement the project.

Was the name of Vice Mayor Efimov?
Recall that Seckler tried to sell the asset for a long time. The sale was hampered by a number of circumstances, including his conflict with the tenants. However, there was another thing: the redevelopment of these territories was impossible without a plan for the integrated sustainable development of the territory, which provides for the demolition of emergency buildings, the planning of further infrastructure development and landscaping.
Without KURT it is impossible to approve the technical and economic indicators for buildings under construction, and therefore obtain permission to put into operation, for example, living space.
For a long time, KURT could not be approved – apparently, there were no serious enough interested parties for the mayor’s office. But in July 2022, the project “suddenly” appeared and was approved by Sergei Sobyanin.
And vice-mayor Vladimir Efimov was responsible for the preparation of the Kurt of Berezhkovskaya Embankment – and he also presented the project to the general public, which was pathetically reported on the website of the mayor’s office.

It is worth noting that Vesper can use the location of the capital’s officials. Recall that the mother of Denis Kitaev, Nina Kitaeva, at one time held the post of head of the department for coordinating the activities of the capital’s construction complex. And besides, she worked for a major metropolitan developer, State Duma deputy Vladimir Resin, who called her his right hand.

Among other things, Boris Azarenka and Denis Kitaev are known as those who love to sue former partners. At one time, they were in conflict with their former partner, the owner of the National Non-Metal Company and co-founder of the PIK group, Yuri Zhukov. He is also a former vice-president of Sberbank, who later became a top manager of VTB, an old acquaintance and former associate of German Gref.
“Authorized” from Gref
Meanwhile, Azarenka and Kitaev have a remarkable partner in the Berezhkovskaya embankment development project. Less than a month before the meeting of the commission, which approved KURT, they signed an agreement with the developer AB Development.
AB Development is associated with Kirill Androsov, who is considered the man of German Gref. They worked together in the mayor’s office of St. Petersburg under Anatoly Sobchak. Then Androsov worked as First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Government, while German Gref served as Minister of Economic Development.
Formally, the main legal entity of AB Development is Developer Solutions LLC, 65% of which is owned by Altera Capital LLC, and another 35% by Alexei Blanin, the former CEO of Horus Capital. The latter was created by one of the founders of Rosbuilding, and now the beneficiary of the PIK Group, Sergey Gordeev. At one time, Rosbuilding was called “the largest Russian raider.”

However, Androsov has his own “fame”. For example, in 2007, Kirill Androsov took an active part in the attempted privatization and subsequent sale of Lenfilm. Apparently, Androsov liked the sites of the film studio for building, but then the governor of St. Petersburg, Valentina Matvienko, interfered.
His name was associated with an attempt to seize the air carrier Transaero when he was on the Board of Directors of Aeroflot. This happened after the death of Yevgeny Primakov in June 2015, who was a friend of one of the shareholders of Transaero, the chairman of the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) Tatyana Anodina. She was the mother of the founder and chairman of the board of directors of the company, Alexander Pleshakov.
His 51% stake was partially pledged to Sberbank and was to be sold to Vladislav Filev’s S7 company. Despite earlier agreements, after a meeting with the leadership of Aeroflot, the deal was thwarted. And subsequently, Transaero was completely declared bankrupt and left the market.
Alexey Blanin officially became the founder of Developer Solutions LLC in October 2018, at that time the second co-founder was the Cypriot offshore Kirsten Limited. In December 2020, its share was transferred to Altera Capital LLC. It is 99% owned by Kirill Androsov, who may represent the interests of German Gref. This is suggested by a message in Lepravda, which writes that “German Gref could own the Luxembourg investment fund Altera Capital, the total amount of which in different years could reach $ 500 million. Officially, the former chief of staff of the Russian government Kirill Anrosov, a former colleague Gref”.
The owner of Altera Capital is the insurance company Swiss Life, the authors of Lenpravda say. The Evolution Trust trust fund, the beneficiary of which is Yevgeny Novitsky, is related to it. He is called Gref’s confidant. Later, Androsov became the owner of the fund through an offshore company.
In addition, another fund is associated with him – Lang Capital. In the English version of Wikipedia, its authors claim that this fund allegedly got into a corruption scandal in the Maldives, which cost the country $ 80 million. As if the Lang Capital fund invested in an island resort in the Maldives, but these investments disappeared, nothing was built, and former President of the Maldives Abdullah Yameen could have been involved in the situation.

Information about the connection of Kirill Androsov with the fund and the scandal with the leak of the Pandora dossier is in many English-language publications, such as Business Insider. However, it is almost impossible to find it in the Russian media. Someone is very good at cleaning up their tails.
