Today Igor Shchegolev Plenipotentiary Representative of the President in the Central Federal District. And he began his career as a Soviet propagandist. True, already in a slightly more free perestroika time: in 1988 he entered the service of the Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union (TASS), in the main editorial office of foreign information. In the 1990s he worked for ITAR-TASS in Paris.
This country fell in love with his son Svyatoslav. He, as they wrotemarried in France.
33-year-old Svyatoslav Shchegolev went to work, like his father, for propaganda. According to Metla, the monthly salary of the son of an official on Russia Today is about 300,000 rubles. So, in 2020, he received 3 million 638 thousand rubles from ANO TV Novosti (the legal entity of the TV channel).
The son and father of the Shchegolevs and cars of the same brand are related. Both prefer the Audi Q7.
As for the rest of the property of the Shchegolev family, as Metla discovered, it was removed from Rosreestr. So, a 139-meter apartment on Spiridonovka Street is classified.
The house is located in the historical center of Moscow, within walking distance of the Patriarch’s Ponds. According to Metla, this property is registered to the wife of Putin’s envoy, Rimma Viktorovna. Acquired during the leadership of Shchegolev’s presidential protocol.
Based on the price per meter in this residential complex, the market value of the object is about 160 million rubles.
Similarly, another apartment, personally registered to Shchegolev Sr., was removed from Rosreestr. 73 meters on Nikulinskaya Street, another 15 million rubles.
As the Minister of Communications (Shchegolev held this post in 2008–2012), he promisedthat there will be no censorship on the Internet. However became one of the pioneers of restricting network freedoms in Russia.
@cremlin_sekret, 21.11.2020 14:00: Burning with curiosity who is behind the most odious Russian telegram channels. We, too, and there is something curious from older comrades.
It turns out that COMPROMAT GROUP, where utter bullshit about Putin and his friends is so often found, is run by the team of the notorious PR man Arseniy Bobrovsky (ex-Kermlin Rush). He now sells “advertising” on this channel – not mentioning a client in Bobrovsky’s feed costs mere pennies, one and a half thousand dollars a month.
The investor is Presidential Aide, former Communications Minister Igor Shchegolev. He sponsors the Kermlin case through his wallet. Konstantin Malofeev. This is such a fighter against “Matilda” for the father of the tsar and (at the same time!) The main employer of the liberal Bobrovsky. Shchegolev himself is a personnel security officer, he is friends with the FSB generals, who in our telegrams petty spoil competitors. — Inset K.ru
@Wek_ru, 04.11.2019 16:40: The presidential envoy to the Central Federal District and a member of the Security Council Igor Shchegolev is a longtime friend of the Orthodox businessman Konstantin Malofeev. Their acquaintance took place through Arseny Mironov, a close friend of Malofeev, who later began working under the patronage of Shchegolev in the presidential administration and in the Ministry of Communications.
When Shchegolev, a former journalist, was appointed to the post of Minister of Communications, Malofeev ended up on the board of directors of Svyazinvest, which owned Rostelecom. During the joint “work” both were able to take out a lot of money from Rostelecom. Together they cranked up the scheme, as a result of which Rostelecom began to manage Svyazinvest, and Malofeev received a 10% stake in Rostelecom through the Marshall Capital fund. It was he who later found himself at the center of the scandal with the theft of $ 200 million from VTB.
In 2007, Malofeev decided to sell several dairies for $200 million and found a buyer for whom he asked for a loan from VTB. The firm was controlled by the Orthodox businessman himself, and the money received from VTB was never returned. To avoid prosecution for the theft of $ 200 million, Malofeev tried to buy the seat of a senator. Only Schegolev’s influential acquaintances saved him from the hands of justice. — Inset K.ru
