How Timofey (Teymuraz) Kurgin, Chemezov’s future colleague at the Boxing Academy, was tried. DOCUMENT
Readers drew the attention of the editors of Kompromat-Ural to the strange metamorphoses that an LLC with a loud name is going through: “Boxing Academy”, TIN 7719764470. For the general public, this name is associated with the person of the head of the state corporation “Rostec” Sergei Chemezov. On the Boxing Academy page on Youtube there are videos of Chemezov reporting Vladimir Putin about his active support for the sport of boxing. Chemezov travels to regions to compete, greets boxers, and awards winners. A search for the word “Chemezov” on the Boxing Academy website yields a sufficient number of references over the years.
By the way, about the Boxing Academy website. Now in the section “Management” here only Oleg Zhadobin (according to public data from the Federal Tax Service, he was assigned TIN 502704822050). Moreover, he is now the sole founder of Boxing Academy LLC.
But this was not always the case. A few years ago, Mr. Chemezov himself did not disdain to be the official head of a legal entity. In any case, according to various open sources, the corresponding entry in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities disappeared only in March 2017.
However, there is no strangeness in this: such a big man, a de facto state oligarch, does not need unnecessary troubles and formal responsibility in a sports LLC, small on the scale of Rostec. Whether officially or unofficially, the “Boxing Academy” without Chemezov’s patronage is nothing special. It’s just that earlier he was called “president”, and after the removal of bureaucratic burdens, Sergei Viktorovich began to be labeled “honorary president” everywhere.
And next to the honorary one, for several years in a row, stood the new president – Kurgin Timofey Gennadievich. This is what their joint page looked like on the same Boxing Academy website:
According to public information, Mr. Kurgin was born on April 29, 1977, TIN 501107236396. So, after Chemezov left the formal leadership, it was Timofey Kurgin who became the official head of Boxing Academy LLC and remained so almost until the end of 2021. And for some time I was the founder Kurgin Dmitry Timofeevich (according to open data from the Federal Tax Service, his TIN is 503238985064). Judging by Dmitry’s patronymic, this is his son Timofey“boxing” comrade-in-arms of Sergei Chemezov.
Back in 2015, Timofey Kurgin, positioning himself as a “famous timber merchant” (the editors of Kompromat-Ural will separately talk about this aspect of his activity), posted his “unctuous” interview in the government “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”. And he very flatteringly mentioned Sergei Chemezov there, demonstrating to everyone that this was not a stranger to him at all. Verbatim: Chemezov “completely shares my position and works very actively in this sense… the most powerful engine of all processes.” In a word, they are not just partners – they don’t spill water!
Oh, what happened?
Everything turned out decorously and nobly for them. But a year and a half ago, any formal connection between the Kurgins and Boxing Academy LLC was erased. On March 30, 2022, Kurgin Jr., who is Dmitry, was expelled from the founders of the organization. Four months earlier, on November 30, 2021, Kurgin Sr. (Timofey) ceased to be the head of the legal entity.
Today, father and son Kurgins do not appear in the Russian Federation as managers/founders of any companies. As for foreign offshores, in the Pandora Papers dossier Timofey Kurgin (TimofeyKurgin) was revealed as a beneficiary of the company CLENTIAM HOLDINGS LIMITED in the British Virgin Islands.
What makes the situation especially scandalous is the fact that Kurgin’s name has been carefully cleared not only from the registration documents, but even from the Boxing Academy website.
It’s as if neither Timofey Kurgin nor his son Dmitry ever had anything to do with the Chemezov organization, which is prestigious in sports circles. This purge looks even more ridiculous when you consider that the current president, Oleg Zhadobin, is one hundred percent Kurgin’s creation, they are childhood friends. RBC Daily reported this in 2016, adding that Kurgin and Zhadobin together founded the “Boxing Academy” in 2011 (according to an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the legal entity was registered at the end of 2010).
“Gullible” Chemezov didn’t know who the star of “Criminal Russia” was?
The removal of references to Kurgin from the Rostec sports project coincides with the dissemination in the media of information about the dark side of the biography of our hero. However, few people seriously admit that State Security Colonel General Sergei Chemezov, who heads Rostec, did not know who he was dealing with.
Kurgin’s official birth name is Teimuraz. In everyday life they called him Timur. According to the documents, he became Timofey at the end of 2000, about which the editorial office of Kompromat-Ural has a certified copy of the record of the registry office of the Moscow region on the change of name.
So, at first Kurgin hides his original name. Now Kurgin’s name is being removed from public mentions of the Boxing Academy, affiliated with Rostec. Why suddenly so much “hide and seek”?
The fact is that in the second half of the 1990s, Teimuraz/Timur Kurgin, who later received the nickname Timson, became the criminal hero of a high-profile case of the contract killing of a deputy of the State Duma of Russia.
State Duma Deputy Sergey Skorochkin killed February 1, 1995. Four machine gunners kidnapped him from the bar “U Viktor” in Zaraysk, Moscow Region, took him into the forest and shot him.
As the Moscow Regional Prosecutor’s Office established, the murder was organized by a Moscow region “authority” Oleg Lipkin. According to investigators, Lipkin himself, Teimuraz Kurgin, a minor at that time (son of the former head of the investigation department of the Ramensky Department of Internal Affairs Eteri Kurgina, is now a member of the Moscow Region Bar Association – approx. “Kompromat-Ural”), as well as Alexey Evseev And Sergey Zorin. I was waiting for them in the car Victor Moskalev.
In the NTV documentary series “Criminal Russia,” a separate episode is devoted to the murder of deputy Skorochkin. At the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th minute, it is reported that during a search of Kurgin’s apartment in Ramenskoye, an entire arsenal of weapons was discovered, some of which the defendant hastened to throw out of the apartment window in a bag. Timur’s mother, Eteri Kurgina, herself a former police major, a former employee of the Ramensky police department and a future lawyer, took the blame for storing weapons.
The sophistication of the daring crime was added by the fact that the attackers dressed in camouflage, armed themselves with machine guns, and put on masks… They framed the kidnapping of the deputy as a detention: they took away his ID, he did not resist, mistaking the kidnappers for real riot police. Therefore, in the case of Kurgin and the other defendants there is an element of an unusual crime: “unauthorized appropriation of the power of an official.” Article 194 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR – at the time of Skorochkin’s murder, the Soviet version of criminal legislation was still in force.
According to the testimony, it was Kurgin who led the victim out of the car to the murder scene. Kurgin had a pistol in his hands. Together with Lipkin, he led the deputy towards the forest, and a couple of minutes later two shots were heard from there. Lipkin and Kurgin returned to the car without Skorochkin.
“In the name of the Russian Federation” evaded the statute of limitations
The high-profile criminal case of the murder of a State Duma deputy lasted for several years. This gave Kurgin a head start – as for someone who had not reached the age of majority at the time of the crime, the statute of limitations was halved for him. That is, the moment when he could get away with it came twice as fast for him – after just five years. The lawyers of Teimuraz/Timofey Kurgin did not fail to take advantage of this, filing a petition for exemption from criminal liability. Instead, they had the right to insist on continuing the consideration of the case if they were confident in the innocence of their client, but preferred to “wind up the bait.”
The judge of the Moscow Regional Court put an end to Kurgin’s criminal epic Alexander Dzyban. In May 2002, he granted the above petition, releasing the defendant. Then Mr. Dzyban’s career took off. The next year, 2003, he moved to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, where he lives to this day at the top of the judicial vertical: the head of the Council of Judges of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the chairman of the judiciary!
For the sake of authenticity, the Kompromat-Ural editors below reproduce in full the text of the court document, with the help of which it was possible, in full compliance with formal “legality,” to give a damn about the principle of the inevitability of punishment.
