Are the ears of Chervichenko and Agalarov sticking out of the scandal around the Barvikha forest?
In a high-profile story about an attempt to build up the Barvikha Forest, the names of Araz, a relative of the president of the Crocus Group, flicker AgalArova – Alexandra Dadiani and the business interest of the family of the ex-president of the football club “Spartak” Andrey Chervichenko. Forest scandal threatens to escalate into a criminal case?
The story of the sale of federal lands in the Barvikha forest, where there is such a unique object as the Barvikha settlement, dating from the first half of the 1st century AD. er, it could turn into a high-profile criminal case. Among the owners of the plots were offshore companies with a residence permit in Belize and the Seychelles, as well as developers associated with such well-known persons as the ex-co-owner of the 1520 Group of Companies, co-owner of Interprogressbank Valery Markelov, antiquarian banker Alexander Dadiani, who is a relative of the president of the Crocus Group Arazu Agalarov.
The ex-president of Spartak Andrei Chervichenko and his son Denis, the manager of the HOA, whose founder was previously the Department of Housing Policy and the Housing Fund of Moscow, left their mark on this story. And it is precisely this composition that the residents of Barvikha are forced to resist (not to be confused with elite cottage villages). Details in the material of the correspondent of The Moscow Post in the Moscow region.
What is happening in the Barvikha forest?
Almost 20 years ago, plots of the Barvikha forest – the only place of recreation for local residents and the place where the territories protected by law – the Barvikha ancient settlement, were located, according to a cunning scheme, were transferred to a certain investor for development. The plots have been divided and have already changed owners several times, not only companies associated with prominent businessmen, but also offshore companies with registration in the middle of nowhere have managed to appear in the chains. Residents of the village went out to protect their forest in 2008, 2012, 2015 and all subsequent years. The fight continues to this day.
At the end of September 2022, the residents of the village created a voluntary people’s squad “Barvikha Militia”. At the same time, the representative of the council of deputies of the Odintsovo urban district, Sergei Tenyaev, said that he had received new documents revealing “frauds with federal lands.”
“From the newly received documents it follows that the Barvikha forest, in the manner prescribed by law, by the owner represented by the state of the Russian Federation, was not sold. The land plots with the forest were assigned to the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. , continue their attempts to seize the territory of the forest for the purpose of cutting down and building commercial housing,” the deputy wrote on his page in social networks.

Residents create a folk squad.
A month later, Tenyaev wrote that he received a response from the Federal Property Management Agency: “The response states: “within the boundaries of the village of Barvikha, an illegal sale of land plots that were previously on the right of permanent (unlimited) use from the Federal State Institution Clinical Sanatorium Barvikha of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation was carried out Federation.”. For further resolution of the issue, the case materials were sent to the relevant competent authorities.”
Perhaps this time the scandalous story with the Barvikha Forest will end in a criminal case and all those involved will answer for their actions?
A cunning scheme: how did the Barvikha Forest end up in private hands?
The very cunning scheme for the transition of forest federal lands was revealed in court case 2-208/2021, which was heard in the Odintsovo court in 2021. The plaintiff in it was the Odintsovo prosecutor’s office, which, however, heard the residents, apparently, with only one ear. The lawsuit for the reclamation of land plots from someone else’s illegal possession included only lands occupied by the water area of water bodies, the coastal strip and the sanitary protection zone. And this is not all allotments that managed to pass into private hands. Looking ahead, we note that it was possible to return part of the plots to the balance of the state, but still, most of the land still remains in private hands with a permitted purpose – for housing development. And this means that the inhabitants of Barvikha can hear the sound of an ax from the forest at any moment.

Litigation for the lands of the Barvikha Forest.
So, it was this litigation number 2-208/2021 that revealed in more detail the scheme for transferring land to a commercial company. It turned out that in the 2000s, a certain CJSC “Rusinfo” received a 49-year lease with the right to purchase a land plot of 19.5 hectares. It was intended for housing construction and handed over by the decision of the head (here, the names of the authority that transferred the land were removed from the case file, but other documents indicate that we are talking about the administration of the Odintsovo district).
And already, based on this lease, CJSC buys land (the amount of the transaction is unknown). The CJSC itself did not last long – from November 2003 to January 2007, and, as it were, was not created at all for this dubious land deal.

CJSC “Rusinfo” received 19.5 hectares.
Both the director and the founder of the CJSC was a certain Alexander Minakhin, behind whom today there is only a tail of liquidated companies.
The original plot of 19.5 hectares was divided and crushed. It has become a kind of challenge cup. In 2020, a fence appeared around a dozen forest areas, which became the last straw for the residents of Barvikha. Residents went on mass walks, rallies and pickets. The head of the Odintsovo administration, Andrey Ivanov, then stated that the work on installing the fence was not coordinated with the district administration, and the owner did not apply for a warrant for earthworks, as well as for permission to build a fence and housing. Then Ivanov himself dismantled the fence and turned to the prosecutor’s office.
In his official video message, the owner of the fence, PremiumStroy LLC, was named, and the statement listed the land plots with a total area of about 7 hectares, on which the fence stood. Ivanov also specified that since 2003 the plots have been privately owned.
Looking ahead, we note that ten of the 14 plots, the cadastral numbers of which appeared in the video message of the head of Odintsovo Ivanov, continue to be privately owned as of January 2023, but, according to data from the unified state register of real estate, the rights to them were issued on December 4, 2019, then eat in one day. All of them have a designated purpose – for individual housing development.

The plots are still privately owned.
Whose ears are sticking out of the scandalous forest story?
It was thanks to the aforementioned lawsuit filed by the prosecutor’s office in Odintsovo that the owners of the forest lands were discovered, among which was not only the aforementioned head of the PremiumStroy district.

The prosecutor’s office revealed the owners of plots in the Barvikha forest.
As we can see, among the defendants from whom parts of the plots of the Barvikha Forest were confiscated as if from illegal possession were offshore companies whose beneficiaries were not disclosed – Virgo Enterprises LTD (Mae Island, Seychelles), Plumer Systems Corp. (Belize), individuals – Alexander Borisovich Linnik (not to be confused with the Linnik brothers from Miratorg), Viktor Semenovich Abramov, Valery Anatolyevich Markelov, BusinessPremium, Breeze, Premiumstroy and Seguro-Holding LLC (in there is a typo in the name of the company on the participant card, which was already corrected in the court decision).
To filter out namesake companies of the same name, we conducted a small analysis. It turned out that in the unified state register of legal entities there is a single company with the name Seguro-Holding LLC, that is, it may be the owner of the disputed land. This firm was established in 2010 and is engaged in the purchase and sale of its own real estate. The owner of the company is Sergey Smirnov, but earlier the asset belonged to Ekaterina Devyatkina, who, in turn, together with UK BSM LLC owns the Construction and Installation Train 810 company.
![ears of chervichenko and <span class='bg-search'>agal</span>arov stick out of the scandal surrounding the barvikha forest? ears of chervichenko and <span class='bg-search'>agal</span>arov stick out of the scandal surrounding the barvikha forest?](https://glavk.net/foto/articles_images/191000/191188_6.jpg)
Ex-owner of Seguro-Holding.
But Devyatkina’s business partner, UK BSM LLC, is already owned by Group of Companies 1520 LLC. The latter previously belonged to Valery Markelov, the defendant in a high-profile criminal case of bribes to ex-colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Dmitry Zakharchenko. Markelov is a former co-owner of the 1520 Group of Companies, a co-owner of Interprogressbank, and also a leader in the Forbes magazine’s “Kings of State Order” rating in 2018.

Valery Markelov is the former owner of LLC “Group of Companies 1520”.
But much more remarkable in this matter is not the Seguro-Holding company, but PremiumStroy LLC, which the head of Odintsovo spoke about in his video message. PremiumStroy LLC with TIN 5020086012 is involved in the Barvikha Forest case. It was this company that, in turn, wrote a complaint against the residents of Barvikha and Deputy Tenyaev, calling itself the owner of the plots.
LLC “PremiumStroy” is the assignee of JSC “Premiumstroy”. The owners of the LLC are Sofya Yaroslavtseva, Natalya Dodonova (former co-founder of the now liquidated NGO “Support Center for OAO FC Spartak-Moscow”) and Stroyrestavrator LLC (41% share). The latter today is wholly owned by Denis Andreyevich Chervichenko, whose data coincides with those of the son of the former president of the Spartak football club, Andrei Chervichenko. Moreover, this Denis Chervichenko and Andrey Chervichenko have a common asset, the Duff company.

Business Chervichenko.
The syl.ru website states that Andrei Chervichenko worked for some time as a commercial director at Lukoil-nefteprodukt and at Moscow’s Krasbank. And Denis Chervichenko is the chairman of the board of the HOA “Kutuzovsky Prospekt, 29”, among the founders of which was the Department of Housing Policy and the Housing Fund of Moscow (left in January 2022) and another member of the Chervichenko family. And the HOA’s e-mail is completely located on the mail server of the aforementioned Duff family company.

Chervichenko and the Department of Housing Policy and the Housing Fund of Moscow.
If you pay attention to the suit of the prosecutor’s office for the Barvikha forest, then the decision mentions both PremiumStroy CJSC and the LLC of the same name. This is most likely not a typo. In 2015, it was ZAO that unsuccessfully sued one of the TV channels for a story about the Barvikha Forest. The TIN of the company involved in that dispute is currently held by the company JSC “Sportstroyengineering” (probably, there was a change of name). Its founder is Alexei Ryskin, a business partner of the Chervichenko family, at least in the firms Hudson Trust and Hudson Finance. At the same time, Andrey Chervichenko and Dmitry Kulakov (Chairman of the Central Council of the Zastava Interregional Public Organization of Border Guard Veterans “Zastava”) were among the owners of PremiumStroy CJSC (aka Sportstroyengineering JSC) . Kulakov is also the current director of PremiumStroy LLC, which now declares itself as the owner of the Barvikha lands.
Thus, as we can see, the business interest of the Chervichenko family is also behind the case of the lands of the Barvikha Forest.
But the family of the former president of the Spartak club, again, is not the only notable person involved in the forest scandal. There are also BusinessPremium LLC among the owners, whose TIN (7728273158) was indicated in this document. The sole owner of this company is another well-known person – Alexander Valentinovich Dadiani, who also owns Crostby Auction LLC. He is also a co-owner of Crocus Bank CB LLC.

Dadiani assets.
Dadiani is a well-known antique dealer, and, according to the Izvestia newspaper, a relative of the president of the Crocus Group, Araz AgalArova Forbes reported that Araz AgalArov and his son Emin (singer Emin) once negotiated development projects in Moscow with Donald Trump.
And what’s next with the Barvikha forest?
Despite the fact that the case on the suit of the prosecutor’s office was completed in 2021, in January 2023, a certain private complaint appeared in the case file, filed by one of the co-defendants. This suggests that even this litigation has not yet ended.
![ears of chervichenko and <span class='bg-search'>agal</span>arov stick out of the scandal surrounding the barvikha forest? ears of chervichenko and <span class='bg-search'>agal</span>arov stick out of the scandal surrounding the barvikha forest?](https://glavk.net/foto/articles_images/191000/191188_11.jpg)
In the case on the suit of the prosecutor’s office in 2023, a new round appeared.
In general, as we can see, the Barvikha forest is still defenseless against nosy developers, since most of the plots remain in private hands and are intended for housing development. The struggle can be considered finished only after absolutely all plots are returned to the balance of the state and receive the status of land where any development is prohibited. In the meantime, alas, there is still work left for the people’s squad of Barvikha.
