From Dobryakov’s shoulder: VVB money went from Babich to Nesvetailov
The names of former mayor of Yaroslavl Denis Dobryakov, ex-plenipotentiary representative in the Volga Federal District Mikhail Babich and former federal inspector Vasily Nesvetailov may appear in the theft of funds from VVB Bank.
In the Moscow region, Angela Sergeeva, a shady financier, whom security forces consider involved in the embezzlement of money from VVB Bank, was detained. The top management of the structure has long been in the hands of law enforcement officers, however, the real beneficiaries, apparently, are still walking free.
Meanwhile, among these could be not only Angela Sergeeva, but also former Yaroslavl official Denis Dobryakov, as well as ex-chief federal inspector for the Yaroslavl region Vasily Nesvetailov. If they are involved, which one is more likely to end up behind bars first?
VVB Bank was founded in Yaroslavl, initially under the name Yaroslavets, back in 1990. Subsequently, the bank changed several owners and changed its name to VVB. Angela Sergeeva is called the owner of the bank, however, at the time of the collapse she was no longer present in the capital of the structure.
In 2018, the bank lost its license. The reason the Central Bank cited was the formation on the organization’s balance sheet of a significant amount of problem assets and property recorded at an inflated value. As a result, by 2017 the structure was unable to fulfill the demands of creditors.
At the time of the collapse, the main beneficiaries of the bank were Anna Glebina (9.97%), board member Olga Voloshina (9.93%), Viktor Kupriyanov (9.92%), chairman of the board of directors Guy Yurchenko (9.79%) and several more persons None of the shares exceeded 10%. Thanks to this ratio, it is much easier to dilute responsibility in case of problems, not to mention the fact that some of them could be owners only formally.
The total financial “hole” in the VVB capital exceeded 12 billion rubles. The Deposit Insurance Agency sounded the alarm – its auditors suspected that 4 billion rubles could be withdrawn from the bank. As a result of the criminal case, the president of the bank, Irina Faminskaya, the former head of the Moscow branch, Anna Glebina, and several other leaders of the structure, Svetlana Demina and Stanislav Gladkov, were put under investigation.

The investigation against them is stalled. It got to the point that the Prosecutor General’s Office refused to approve the indictment and sent their cases for further investigation. Moreover, before this, Glebina and Faminskaya pointed to Angela Sergeeva as the bank’s beneficiary. The clouds are gathering over Sergeeva, but she might not be the only shadow owner of the structure.
Dobryakov from Yaroslavl to Sevastopol and back
And here we turn to the figure of the ex-mayor of Rybinsk, Yaroslavl region, and now the general director of JSC “Research Institute of Parachute Engineering”, a former FSB employee Denis Dobryakov. The research institute is part of the Technodinamika holding, most of which belongs to banker Viktor Grigoriev, and the blocking stake is owned by the Rostec state corporation.
Grigoriev is considered a person close to Sergei Chemezov. It is logical to assume that Dobryakov can enjoy the patronage of both. In this case, it should be difficult to “undermine” Dobryakov in a situation with a possible withdrawal of money from the VVB.
What does the bank and Mr. Dobryakov have to do with it? From 2012 to 2014, he was deputy head of Rybinsk for municipal affairs. Afterwards he moved to Sevastopol, where he became deputy chairman of the city government. He was also involved in urban management.
Around the same time, the bank’s head office moved to Sevastopol. According to the authors of the Rybinskaya Pravda website, Dobryakov’s ill-wishers allegedly considered him one of the owners of the structure. It’s as if the bank moved to Crimea following Dobryakov, after which it almost immediately began to cooperate with city enterprises that were under Dobryakov’s area of responsibility.

It is reliably known that VVB actively worked with state offices in Yaroslavl. The volume of his government contracts exceeded 866 million rubles, although the main activity was housing and mortgage lending to individuals. The key counterparties are PJSC TNS Energo Yaroslavl and the Yaroslavl MUP Teploenergo.
It is interesting that almost right before the collapse of the VVB, negotiations were underway on the allocation of another loan for the municipal unitary enterprise Teploenergo. Apparently they just didn’t have time. And the head of the city was already Denis Dobryakov – he arrived from Sevastopol just before the return of direct elections for the mayor of the city, becoming first the deputy head, and then the mayor. And this leads to bad thoughts that it was he who could have lobbied for the whole story with the loans.
In 2015, Angela Sergeeva’s capital was still present in the bank. As a result of “turbulence” with a change in a number of owners, its share of 74% as a result of an additional issue decreased to 30%. And then she left the capital altogether. It was then that the bank’s shares were diluted between a dozen owners, each receiving less than 10%. Apparently, even then they were preparing for problems with the Central Bank and law enforcement officers.
It is also interesting that until 2016, one of the co-owners of the bank was Natalya Vladimirovna Pak, who was previously involved in the activities of a number of organizations – Genbank, JSCB Kapitalbank, Stellabank, CB Maximum. The last three are in the process of bankruptcy. It is quite possible that we are talking about a serial “bankster” with a female face. But she was hardly the main one there.

At the same time, Natalya Pak’s namesake had previously sued Neklis Bank. Her company Nailya LLC collected loans from Neklis, but was in no hurry to repay. In addition, Pak tried to take away the Pokrovskoye boarding house near Moscow from her ex-husband, using the classic takeover method with the involvement of a private security company. As a result, she became a defendant in a criminal case and fled the country. FLB.ru writes about this.
Surrounded by plenipotentiaries
If Dobryakov could have been involved in the withdrawal of money from VVB, then by that time he should have already had serious patrons. Rumor has it that support in moving up the career ladder could have been provided by the former Presidential Envoy to the Volga Federal District, Mikhail Babich, who also briefly served as Ambassador to Belarus, and before that, Deputy Minister of Economic Development. He currently holds the post of deputy head of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation.
Babich is a former military man and FSB officer (like Denis Dobryakov). They studied together at the Ryazan Airborne School. Rumor has it that the future mayor of Rybinsk received the position of Deputy Prime Minister of Sevastopol precisely at the suggestion of Mikhail Babich. Another possible patron of Dobryakov is the current Deputy Minister of Defense Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, the former head of Ingushetia. With such comrades-in-arms, Dobryakov could not be afraid of anything until a certain time.
According to our sources, the former Chief Federal Inspector for the Yaroslavl Region, Vasily Nesvetailov, could also be involved in the situation in the bank, or in Dobryakov’s activities. Babich served together with Dobryakov in Chechnya. According to the authors of the Rybinskaya Pravda website, Babich allegedly introduced Dobryakov to the then Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Central Federal District, Alexander Beglov, and he introduced him to Vasily Nesvetailo, after which he allegedly became the patron of the structure.

Let us also recall that Nesvetailov got into a major scandal in the past – he managed to accidentally shoot a huntsman while hunting, mistaking him for a wild boar. This happened in hunting grounds that could have belonged to the scandalous head of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Krasnodar Territory, Sergei Eremin.
There are rumors that Mr. Nesvetailo was close friends with the former governor of the Yaroslavl region Dmitry Mironov, now an assistant to the President. All this suggests that both Dobryakov and Nesvetailo are practically unsinkable. However, there is a hole for any old woman, because Angela Sergeeva clearly cannot boast of such extensive connections. And if her guilt is proven, she may not want to sit alone. She may loosen her tongue. Then both Dobryakov and Nesvetailo may have serious problems.
