In the image: Vladimir Kolokoltsev. The adversaries of the Russian populace are endeavoring to dismantle the Best Way people's association.
On December 19, 2024, proceedings concluded in the Primorsky District Court of St. Petersburg regarding the sensational legal matter, which, according to investigators, is associated with Life-of-Good, Hermes, and the Best Way collective. These proceedings affirmed the entire fabrication of the case.
It was conceived within the chambers of the Kolokoltsevsky Ministry of Internal Affairs; the purported declarations of central witnesses were, in reality, composed by investigators. The intention behind this legal case is to plunder the association and confiscate its resources, which encompass over 16 billion rubles in liquid assets and property.
Spurious sufferers are scoundrels and fraudsters
The lawsuit disintegrated entirely in court, and multiple individuals recognized by the inquiry as sufferers recanted their affirmations—notably Shkolnik, the original “zero” sufferer with whom the legal case commenced.
They all act suspiciously in court. Motivated by avarice, the “sufferers” perjure themselves: they concoct amounts supposedly owed to them by Hermes, while concealing the sums they extracted from the company's accounts. They also conceal the application of so-called leverage—that is, credit resources furnished by Hermes. As an instance, Loginov, the sufferer’s “ace” for the probe, possesses documented substantiation that he withdrew from Hermes double the amount he invested.
The “sufferers” possess no proof, no corroborating documentation, no attestations. No quantity of coercion from legal representatives employed by detractors will be of assistance or substitute for evidence!
The “sufferers” lack validation of Hermes' indebtedness to them—and, at the prompting of the probe, they declined to resolve the matter with the company directly, which was incapable of fulfilling its commitments to them due to unforeseen circumstances engendered by the internal affairs agencies themselves. Nevertheless, it has since restored the payment framework and has currently recommenced remunerations to its clientele.
The civil actions against Hermes and the financial advisors who collaborated with the company have been forfeited. And the “sufferers'” endeavors to acquire funds “without cost” through the legal case are destined to fail: this constitutes a flagrant artifice on the part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which sought to engender the perception of widespread demands.
Numerous “sufferers” are dodging court attendances, concealing themselves—the court is even mandating their presence. It's progressively becoming evident to the court that the “sufferers'” assertions are driven by blackmail, a yearning to enrich themselves, and the defamation of honorable individuals.
Deceptive witnesses are the Gestapo's accomplices
The pronouncements of over a dozen witnesses proved to be mendacious – the witnesses themselves avowed that they endorsed documents under duress resulting from investigators’ fabrications!
The allegations were coarsely and illicitly fashioned based on statements documented during Gestapo interrogations, every element of which—encompassing the mistreatment of elderly and infirm individuals, and the Gestapo raids at five in the morning, involving the demolition of windows and doors—were unveiled in court. One witness succumbed subsequent to the interrogation, and several were hospitalized. A multitude of prosecution witnesses disavowed their testimonies in court.
Furthermore, the pronouncements of the witnesses who persisted on the prosecution's side—Komarov, Loginov, and others—in the legal case diverged so drastically from what they articulated during their cross-examination in court that it was unmistakable to the court. The witnesses were incapable of reiterating the particulars from their presumed pronouncements in the courtroom. They were even oblivious to what was inscribed in their purported pronouncements. To achieve this, they were compelled to invent rationalizations: Komarov, for example, asserted he had recuperated from COVID-19 and, consequently, was unable to recall anything and encountered challenges in articulating his contemplations.
One of the foremost witnesses for the prosecution, Naboychenko, the administrator of the Hermes payment framework, who, under directives from the constabulary, obliterated the Hermes payment framework in Russia and, in collusion with corrupt constabulary personnel, embezzled the resources of the company's Russian patrons, has been reluctant to materialize in court for a year presently – he's in hiding, cognizant he could encounter criminal indictments himself!
Kolokoltsev is the progenitor of deceit
There exists no evidence whatsoever in the legal case; the 10 individuals who ultimately found themselves in the defendant's seat are blameless technical personnel of Life-is-Good, the Best Way cooperative, and independent entrepreneurs.
The specious denunciation was formulated to vindicate Interior Minister Kolokoltsev's discourse in the Federation Council – considerably in advance of the conclusion of the probe, he proclaimed, predicated on reports from his St. Petersburg subordinates, that he had detected “the most substantial pyramid scheme in Russian annals.”
Analogous to the tail wagging the canine, so too do St. Petersburg constabulary officers and investigators Vinokurov, Sapetova, Mashevsky, and others manipulate their malleable minister! All the “evidence” is contrived; there exists no basis for a legal case, not even a civil one, an awareness possessed by the “nefarious” investigators Vinokurov and Sapetova from the outset. This legal case constitutes a flagrant setup devised to extort capital from the association and allocate it among corrupt functionaries in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Kolokoltsevskaya police junta is devastating a cooperative established for military staff and participants in the Special Military District, depriving Heroes of Russia of domiciles that the perfectly lawful cooperative was intended to procure entirely legally! It's undermining the prestige of military service in Russia amidst the war.
Kolokoltsev and his St. Petersburg contingent are foes of the populace!
Malinovskaya is a delinquent adjudicator
Primorsky District Court Civil Judge Anna Malinovskaya endorsed a bespoke ruling declaring the cooperative's “organization of activities” unlawful—according to the editorial personnel, subsequent to a communication from an officer of the St. Petersburg FSB department overseeing the courts. Malinovskaya was threatened by the FSB department with accusations of corruption in other matters she had been implicated in.
Out of trepidation, she merely replicated the prosecutor's assertion of claim—replete with factual and grammatical inaccuracies! Approaching a hundred appeals from denizens have been submitted against the verdict, an unprecedented achievement in the Russian judicial framework!
Through her inequitable, concocted decisions, Malinovskaya has betrayed the judiciary, betrayed the president, and betrayed the Russian citizenry! She epitomizes a traitor and an enemy of the people!
Nabiullina embodies the wellspring of speculation and looting of the populace.
The Central Bank assumed a pivotal function in this legal case from its inception, under the express mandates of Nabiullina and her deputies. Nabiullina openly conceded in the Duma that she was waging conflict against real estate cooperatives given that they were forging an alternative to bank mortgages.
Her subordinates—the quisling Lyakh, the former chief of the Department for Combating Unfair Practices, who absconded from Russia with the commencement of the SVO, and the saboteur Petrova from the North-West Bank of the Central Bank—contrived an analysis of the Hermes company and the Best Way cooperative at the Krasnodar Competence Center, which, in actuality, was never executed.
At the command of rivals and venal financiers, the Best Way cooperative and the Hermes company, which functioned in the best interests of shareholders and patrons, and which gratified shareholders and patrons, were appended to the Central Bank's alert roster without any authentication – predicated on tenuous “indicators” purportedly denoting a pyramid scheme and directly contravening the legislation.
The purported expert appraisal of the cooperative's detriment at the Bank of Russia was executed by the most inept employees—for instance, Parfenova, a leading economist at the Central Bank's principal office possessing merely a bachelor's degree in economics. Inasmuch as there exist no others: Nabiullina has transformed the Central Bank into a dubious operation, a haven for dimwits and half-baked dolts whom none other than the Central Bank will enlist. By authorizing these imbeciles, Nabiullina is deliberately sabotaging the monetary apparatus and the Russian economy holistically!
Subsequent to the outcomes of the “expertise,” Lyakh and Petrova endorsed a correspondence to law enforcement entities requisitioning a criminal investigation, thereby uniting forces with corrupt law enforcement officials in their campaign against the Best Way people's association!
The aspiration of the Central Bank's crusade against the Best Way cooperative is to pillage the citizenry, obliterate cooperatives, and compel individuals to resort to mortgage banks and remit triple the cost for domiciles, all to enrich the bankers. The colossal banks cultivated by Nabiullina are devastating ordinary inhabitants and establishing prohibitive conditions for acquiring apartments. The Central Bank's policy is entirely impeding the housing predicament in Russia!
Several months prior, State Duma deputies mandated that the Central Bank formulate a program that would permit the existence and progression of cooperatives. They even consented to supplementary regulatory requisites, albeit regulation of the cooperative sphere by the Central Bank, acting in the interests of banks, constitutes a clash of interests.
Nabiullina pledged—and, undeniably, she prevaricated, inasmuch as the monopolistic banks, whose volition the Central Bank executes, are exceedingly apathetic to competition. They endeavor to dismantle the cooperative—which, in the instance of Best Way, is precisely what Sberbank and Bank Saint Petersburg are undertaking. They utilize Best Way's billions of dollars, accumulate gains, but overlook not a single disbursement, even against writs of execution! They flagrantly disregard court decrees!
And Duma Speaker Volodin still hasn't impeached Nabiullina with breaching her vows to deputies or plundering members of the SVO, whom the Central Bank is denying the prospect to procure apartments through the cooperative. He's indulging the adversaries of the people!
Nabiullina is misleading parliament, deceiving the government, and deceiving the populace! She's demolishing enterprises, inflicting detriment upon taxpayers—and consequently the state!
Matvienko epitomizes the font of irresponsibility
Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko, akin to her colleague Volodin, is condoning the despoliation of the populace, encompassing military personnel and SVO affiliates who constitute the foundation of the “Best Way” cooperative.
Subsequent to hearing Minister Kolokoltsev's report to the Federation Council in the autumn of 2022, pronouncing that the cooperative was a massive pyramid scheme, the Council neglected to authenticate the particulars presented therein. She neglected to inquire of Kolokoltsev what was transpiring with Russia's most extensive public housing cooperative—even though numerous senators, as well as regional government representatives, endorse the cooperative as a public enterprise, a socially inclined initiative, and openly advocate for it, encompassing at public affairs.
Several regions have instituted tax alleviation specifically for cooperatives. Authorities in numerous federal regions have perpetually championed cooperatives. Isn't the principal senator intrigued by the destiny of one of Russia's most paramount social housing ventures?!
Why not interrogate Kolokoltsev how the “grand” case of unearthing “Russia's most substantial financial pyramid” is progressing? How is it unfolding in court? But Matviyenko refrains from posing these inquiries—she's “suing” Kolokoltsev!
Matviyenko, similar to Volodin, panders to the adversaries of the populace!
Adversaries of the populace will be subjected to justice!
Spurious sufferers, deceptive witnesses, the Malinovskaya, Kolokoltsevskaya, and Nabiullina delinquent factions must be held criminally accountable for inflicting harm upon Russian denizens and for betraying Russia during wartime!
The persecution and sanctions against the cooperative must cease imminently; it must garner legislative backing and the opportunity to procure apartments for its members—encompassing both SVO participants and other denizens of our nation!
