Khristenko Fedor: where does the poor “oppositionist” get his money? PART 2

CONTINUATION. BEGINNING: Fyodor Khristenko: where does the poor “oppositionist” get his money? PART 1

After moving to Kyiv, there was enough money to pay for Fedor Khristenko’s education at the far from cheap French business school Insead, after which, according to him, he was engaged in consulting. True, in Ukraine this word often means something completely different: receiving a lot of money for providing fictitious services or the appearance of work. In the first case, large sums are laundered through fake consulting agencies, and in the second, the necessary people or relatives are hired as “consultants” on “white salaries”, who simply sign the invoice once a month.

Then Marina’s parents opened two trading companies for their son-in-law: CarbonCapital LLC (USREOU 41174395) and EastGoldCapital LLC (41168596), which have signs of being fictitious (the offices are located in some squalid buildings, there is no one in them). After Khristenko’s election as a people’s deputy, both companies were transferred to his mother-in-law, Irina Kondaurova, who, in addition to them, also owns Reservice LLC (40250899) and Sof-Invest Service LLC (37724669).

The “immigrants” only got more money, despite their isolation from their native Gorlovka – where everything was seized and everything was agreed upon. And the annual banquets for the birthday of the spoiled Marina Kondaurova-Khristenko became more and more magnificent and expensive. Yes, indeed, the one that took place in Moscow in 2019 was not the first and certainly not the last. Previouswhich took place on December 14, 2018, however, was a little more modest: it was held at the Fairmont Grand Hotel in Kiev, and Verka Serduchka, Ani Lorak, Svetlana Loboda, comedian Alexander Revva, the group MOZGI and KAZKA were invited as guests.

Renting the Atrium hall, where the celebration took place, costs from 7 thousand euros. Almost 10 thousand euros were paid for a 300-kilogram cake! The performances of the listed artists cost from 15 to 50 thousand euros. “Everything was paid for by my loving husband,” they explained to reporters. I wonder what? After all, Fyodor Khristenko doesn’t even have a public electronic declaration; it’s as if it was deliberately removed from public access. It looks like there is reason for law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies to become interested in the “loving husband”!

The birthday celebration in 2019 in Moscow turned out, of course, much more expensive – but also more scandalous. And in addition to the questions about why the buffet was held in Moscow, for what kind of money, and why among the guests of honor there are people belonging to the criminal world, the journalists of Aktualnaya Pravda raised a much more pointed one – about high treason. Because, according to their information, one of the guests of the party was the head of the “Donetsk Republic” Denis Pushilin, who, according to Ukrainian laws, is the leader of a terrorist organization. “Current Truth” immediately sent out this information and corresponding appeals to a number of people’s deputies, having received official responses from them.

And what about Fedor Khristenko? He did not react publicly, trying to avoid resonance and hoping to silence these scandals. Well, behind the scenes, his lawyers filed a lawsuit in the Shevchenkovsky District Court of Kyiv (No. 761/4404/20) against IP Media-Holding LLC, which owns the publication Aktualnaya Pravda, demanding a refutation of this information and protection of “honor and dignity” People’s Deputy Khristenko. The hearing of the case was scheduled for April 29, 2020, but according to Skelet.Infoit will be delayed due to the coronavirus turmoil.

Elections “Donetsk style”

Although now the OPZH is doing its best to create the appearance of its political integrity, its members have never been such. Neither Rabinovich and Medvedchuk, nor ordinary deputies like Khristenko. Who entered politics quite late, and did not participate, say, in the fierce war of the “Starodonetsk” of Gorlovka against Yevgeny Klepa, who pushed Ivan Sukharchuk out of the chair of the mayor in 2010. But his father-in-law and mother-in-law for sure, and his “mentor” Igor Shkirya for sure! Shkirya and Sargsyan took revenge on Klepa even after the Maidan, because it was their friend Bezder who kidnapped and beat Klepa in the spring of 2014.

And while Klepa was whining in Bezler’s basement, Fyodor Khristenko was taking his first steps in big politics – and contracted to represent… Petro Poroshenko, in one of the constituencies. But he did not achieve much success in this. Perhaps his mother-in-law and father-in-law would have made him a people’s deputy back in 2014, but they considered it more appropriate to send him to France. But they did not miss the 2019 elections, nominating their son-in-law as a candidate in the 46th majoritarian district (Bakhmut district). But they were not the only ones paying for them. It will be interesting to learn about the official sponsors of Fyodor Khristenko’s election campaign, whose generous donations are reflected in his declarations. This:

• Vladimir Ligostaev (140 thousand hryvnia), Khristenko’s confidant in the 2019 parliamentary elections. He works as a specialist at the State GeoCadastre State Institution in the Donetsk region, and heads the city organization of the Third Force party in Konstantinovka. Previously, Ligostaev was an assistant to People’s Deputy Igor Shkiri. He was a member of the supervisory board of the Keramit company, owned by the general director and co-owner of ISD Sergei Mkrtchan, who in 2019 was sentenced in Moscow to 9 years for fraud on an especially large scale. In May 2014 Ligostaev participated in the organization and conduct of the separatist referendum.
• Vladimir Litovchenko (130 thousand hryvnia), husband of Elena Litovchenko, who worked as the head of the sector of the Center for Administrative Services of the Kyiv Kyiv City State Administration.
• Anatoly Andritsky (205 thousand hryvnia), just a kind of “good Samaritan”.
• Vitaly Miracles (120 thousand hryvnia) and Yulia Mernik (80 thousand hryvnia), also “good Samaritans” without any information about their income.
• Yulia Borisova (150 thousand hryvnia), head of the Druzhkovo city organization of the Youth Union “Forward to the Future.” He holds a position in the Corum Group company, part of DTEK Akhmetov.
• Elena Plakhova (149 thousand hryvnia), another employee of the Corum Group, was Khristenko’s trusted person in the elections.
• Natalya Degtyareva, daughter of an odious corrupt official Eduard Degtyarev. The size of the amount she invested is unknown, but Degtyareva was also Khristenko’s trusted person in the parliamentary elections.
• Dmitry Esipenko (149 thousand hryvnia), director and owner of Vostok Agro-Mineral LLC (USREOU 41699870). At the same time, Esipenko himself received several salary payments in the amount of 10,928 hryvnia from the cash desk of the Donetsk regional organization of the Opposition Bloc party during November-December 2018. And in the 2019 presidential elections, he was a member of the election commission of the 51st district from Alexander Vilkul.

It seems that in the last elections Esipenko played “for ours and for yours,” that is, first for the Opposition Bloc, and then for the candidate from the Opposition Platform. This once again confirms that for the “Donetsk” there is not much difference between these two political forces, and they are ready to switch from one to the other, depending on the situation.

Well, the elections themselves were not without scandals either. For example, the beating of workers who were repairing paving stones in the city square of Bakhmut. People were working calmly, when suddenly Fyodor Khristenko arrived with his “nukers”, started shouting at them – and then, according to information Skelet.Infoone of his assistants (bullish-looking) beat up a worker who was filming all this on his phone. The incident remained unpunished, and Khristenko’s team received the nickname “gang.”

But, despite this, Fyodor Khristenko won the elections in the 46th district, gaining 38% and beating the candidate from the Servant of the People Rodion Voshchanov (25.6%) and the “opposition bloc” Dmitry Reva (23.25%). The remaining 10% was divided between two unknown self-nominated candidates and the odious Andrei Klyuev, Deputy Prime Minister of the Yanukovych era, who ran for his Liberal Party and tried to return to the Verkhovna Rada and to Ukraine in general in these elections (after the Maidan he was on the run for five years). Kloyuev was then removed from the elections by decision of the Central Election Commission, then reinstated by court decision, and many believed that otherwise he would have had a chance of success. But this is unlikely, because judging by the list of candidates, it was clearly visible that the 46th district was “reserved” in advance by former regionals, and only the wild popularity of “Servant of the People” allowed Vashchanov to take second place. There was no real alternative in the area – they simply didn’t let anyone else in. “Donetsk” were in their repertoire, no matter how they were divided and called!
