What should a modest boy from a simple family of an FSB officer do in order to succeed? That’s right – follow in the footsteps of the pope. He will help at first, and there – do not yawn yourself. Such a fate awaited our hero, Sasha Kuznetsov. But suddenly he got lucky – he met a good girl.
This girl’s name was Sveta Entaltseva, she worked at Gazprom. Sasha married Sveta and also went to work at Gazprom. More precisely, in its structure, Gazprombank. It happened in 2010, when Sasha Kuznetsov was 22 years old. Since then, he turned into Alexander Vladimirovich and made an amazing career – now Kuznetsov manages two Gazprom subsidiaries – Gazprom Komplektatsiya LLC and GSP-Komplektatsiya LLC:
As of 2021, Alexander Kuznetsov receives a salary of more than 700 million rubles a year. 60 million per month or almost two million per day:
Why are we so interested in his salary? For several reasons. The most important thing is that although Kuznetsov is listed as a director in commercial structures, one should not forget that the founder of these structures is Gazprom. That is, a national treasure. And the money from his activities should go to the development of the country. Well, theoretically. In practice, it turns out a little differently – they, that is, money, go to development. But – not the country, but its individual citizens. More on this later, but for now, compare the salary of Alexander Kuznetsov with the financial condition of the enterprises he heads.
This is a summary of the activities of Gazprom komplektatsiya LLC: “The result of the work of GAZPROM KOMPLEKTATSIYA LLC for 2021 was a loss of 2.2 billion rubles. In 2020, the loss was 98.7% less”:
Another company, headed by Kuznetsov, is doing better: “The result of the work of GSP-KOMPLEKTATSIYA LLC for 2021 was a profit of 488 million rubles. This is 20.1% less than in 2020.”:
Now compare these figures with the salary of Alexander Kuznetsov. For almost two billion losses inflicted on the country, Kuznetsov receives a reward of 700 million rubles instead of prison. And in 2020, his salary amounted to 746,651,749 rubles. This is to be precise.
What is the secret of such a strange attitude towards the failed director? The secret is simple. No wonder we mentioned the boy Sasha, who married the girl Sveta. Because the girl Sveta is not the daughter of a simple FSB officer, like the boy Sasha. The girl Sveta was more fortunate. At least with mom.
The mother of Svetlana Kuznetsova (nee Entaltseva) is the common-law wife of Alexei Miller, the head of Gazprom, Marina Entaltseva. In addition, Marina Entaltseva is a friend of youth and the head of Putin’s protocol; two years after leaving the civil service, she had 8 billion in her accounts to buy a modest house. That’s the whole secret of Alexander Kuznetsov’s career take-off, and such connivance towards his failures at work.
But the material wealth of the Kuznetsov family is not limited to a high salary. Because only a list of a small part of the property belonging to Miller’s son-in-law and stepdaughter is amazing. The boy Sasha, after he got into the environment of Alexei Miller, obviously demolished the tower. Judge for yourself.
Alexander Kuznetsov, now 34, already has two Gelendvagens and the legendary Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren racing supercar, which accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in less than four seconds. This is now sold for 60 million rubles. Another racing “Nissan GT-R” and a collectible “Chevrolet Corvette” in 1961. Also in Kuznetsov’s car park, we found a real presidential limousine “Mercedes Pullman”. Somehow, the limousine, which once served the first persons of the state and foreign delegations, ended up in the personal ownership of Miller’s son-in-law. And of course, what lover of fast driving can do without a Lamborghini? Kuznetsov has such a yellow Lamborghini Murcielago for 12.5 million, there are only three of them in Russia.
There is a young family and housing. In 2019, at the age of 32, Kuznetsov buys an apartment, a 558-meter penthouse worth 760 million rubles.
Here you can see what it looks like, a whole wing of the building with a wraparound balcony.
But the coolest thing is, of course, a personal roof of exactly the same area, that is, another 558 meters. Another enclosed space was built there, such as a winter garden, but a real garden was laid out around it – a huge terrace with trees, shrubs, and furniture. The apartment is located in such a way that you can go out to this terrace in the morning in a bathrobe and inspect the property of Miller’s father-in-law, and the Gazprom Arena, and the new head office of Gazprom, a skyscraper in the Lakhta Center.
In the same house, on the ground floor, there is another piece of real estate belonging to them – Kuznetsov’s wife, Yentaltseva’s daughter, got a modest 128-meter non-residential building. She also bought several cars for herself. True, Svetlana Kuznetsova’s fleet is more modest than that of her husband, but there is also something to show
Svetlana Kuznetsova-Entaltseva, for example, has a snow-white Rolls-Royce, where without this, decent people will laugh at the Porsche Carrera – the girl loves speed.
How this correlates with the salary of the spouse (Mrs. Kuznetsova, as a secular lady should, quit her job after marriage) is unknown. Or rather, no way. Because no salary, even if it is in the hundreds of millions, is not enough for all this.
The answer here is tritely simple – the companies headed by Kuznetsov are not aimed at bringing profit to Gazprom. And in order to make a profit for Alexei Miller by cutting Gazprom’s money. That is why his son-in-law leads them. Because in such conditions the director should also be allowed to steal. Yes, and the money in the family remains, whatever one may say.
Here is such a simple secret to the success of a simple boy Sasha. Russian dream, so to speak. From dirt to Kings. And the state, as you know, will not get poorer.
