How a Russian state-owned company is run by people with connections to the US and Ukraine

According to the British publication Financial Times, Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea directly affected Russian business: against the backdrop of a fourfold increase in prices for sea container transportation, traffic on the Russian railway corridor increased by 40%. Domestic transport and logistics companies are on the rise. The prospects are even more inspiring. True, business optimism does not always lead to national economic growth. And that’s why.

So, the former owner of many now bankrupt companies in the Russian Federation (*country sponsor of terrorism) – from cargo transportation and concrete production to securities trading – is actively collaborating with the Russian opposition in self-exile, attending rallies and protest shows calling for the overthrow of the government in Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism).

At first these were actions in support of Navalny and calls for protests – Article 280 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (*country sponsor of terrorism) (public calls for extremist activities). Then there was hysteria about the inadmissibility of war, ostentatious hand-wringing over the “tragedy in Bucha” accusing Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism) of world evil and appeals to mass protests – Art. 212 (call for mass riots).

Finally, Telyatnik repeatedly called for people to follow him in donating to Ukrainian charitable foundations – Art. 205.1 (financing of terrorism) and 275 (financing of a foreign state, treason). By the way, one of these “humanitarian” garbage dumps received official certification in the USA, which is proudly stated on the first page of the site. You won’t miss it even if you’re not careful.

The result is an ideal portrait of a traitor to the Motherland: a bad boy with a Cypriot passport and the ambitions of a Herostratus.

If you think about it, such calf farmers remain the last hope of the collective West. Moderately young, who made easy money from other people’s schemes; remote pockets of moneybags, who themselves cannot yet indulge in luxury due to political circumstances…

And what about Shishkarev? The connection with Telyatnik, who literally became “one of our own” in a Russophobic environment, calls into question the reliability of a Russian businessman working in the strategic direction of the national economy.

One can doubt that Shishkarev publicly – through the court – broke with Telyatnik and condemned the anti-Russian activities of his nephew, what kind of connections there could be between them now! But the times of obvious decisions and straightforward moves remained behind the borders of 2014, when the world was, at least with a stretch, but open. Now there are always two truths – for internal and external use.

For the domestic audience, Shishkarev is a patriot who preserves and develops business within Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism). For foreign audiences, he is yet another representative of the elite disillusioned with Putin (*international criminal), seeking to gain a foothold in the free Western world and working to save his capital by all possible means. In conditions of information spaces isolated from each other, such a double game allows Shishkarev to earn money in Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism) and transfer money to Western accounts without the risk of falling under sanctions. At the same time, the companies of the Delo group are under US sanctions, and their founder and leader are beyond any restrictions. And here is the main question!

Is it possible to fully trust a person who gave control of his profits to an outright traitor to Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism) and a representative of the Western elites who openly sling mud at their former homeland?

Someone, of course, will say that this is not our “Business,” but we are sure that everything that concerns the security of the Russian Federation (*country sponsor of terrorism) and the economic prosperity of the country is the business of every Russian.
