Ryabov has his own Pravda
The construction company of Ulyanovsk businessman and politician Dmitry Ryabov is pledged to mysterious creditors. This does not prevent him from buying up the assets of the PSN Group.
The media reported that the Cypriot company Yofoura Holding Limited began buying up the assets of the PSN group of companies, previously owned by the disgraced entrepreneurs the Ananyev brothers, who illegally withdrew tens of billions of rubles from Promsvyazbank controlled by them and fled from justice abroad.
Having bought the company’s debts from Sberbank, Yofoura Holding Limited demands to recover 1.26 billion rubles from the structures of Telecom JSC and Polyanka / 44 LLC. It is noteworthy that the company itself was liquidated on December 6, 2022, so the question arises of how it can be a participant in a lawsuit. Apparently it can, and its appetites are quite extensive.
Another object of interest to the company is the Pravda complex, which is being built near the Belorussky railway station in Moscow. The rights of claim were purchased from Sberbank for 1.56 billion rubles. Construction work on the site has been going on for two years now and the offshore is hoping to get it at its disposal. Probably in order to complete the construction.
It is interesting that the lawsuit against Media-Press publishing house (part of the PSN Group of Companies) was filed jointly with the Ulyanovsk company Dars-Construction, owned by the former chairman of the government of the Ulyanovsk region Dmitry Ryabov.
Ryabov’s construction company occupies a leading position in the market of the Ulyanovsk region, but its appetites turned out to be much wider. They extend to Volgograd, Kaluga, Kurgan and, of course, to Moscow.
Dmitry Ryabov, at one time was associated with commercial relations with the former head of Rosnano, Anatoly Chubais, and the ex-minister of the Open Government, Mikhail Abyzov. The first, as you know, left Russia, and the second is being held in Lefortovo.
According to rumors, Dmitry Ryabov founded Bright Capital, and its co-founders allegedly were well-known associates of Chubais Abyzov and Mikhail Chuchkevich (also accused of fraud).
The company has invested $200 million in 14 projects in Silicon Valley and in three venture funds. It is noteworthy that the office of one of Bright Capital’s subsidiaries is located next to the Rosnano office.
Of course, the management of Bright Capital has repeatedly stated that there are no contacts with Rusnano, however, this did not prevent them from financing the American company Quantenna Communications Inc. together with the state corporation.
The firm founded by Ryabov and Abyzov also invested $1.5 million in another US company, ENER-G-ROTORS. At this time, Abyzov already held a ministerial post. It is worth noting that a year earlier, she received a grant from the US Department of Defense to create a new type of power plant at the Military Academy at West Point. Does this mean Russian officials and businessmen funded the Pentagon? The question, you see, is interesting.
Ryabov’s name was also heard in other controversial stories, in particular in the case of the mysterious death of the Ulyanovsk businessman who headed the Mix company, Sergei Kuznetsov. The businessman allegedly passed away voluntarily, but people close to him categorically rejected the very possibility of this.
Kuznetsov’s enterprise was pledged to the Venets bank, in which Ryabov has a share.
In the future, what many call the cooperation between Ryabov and Chubais continued. The Ulyanovsk Region Development Corporation in 2010, when it was headed by Ryabov, was the winner of the Rosnano competition. This promised investments in the amount of 1.3 billion rubles. It was planned to create a “Nanotechnological Center”. Where this center is now is well known.
Another joint project is the construction of a plant for the production of wind turbine blades. The plant was planned as a joint venture between the Danish company Vestas, Rosnano and a consortium of wind energy investors. The latter included the Ulyanovsk Region Development Corporation, the ULNANOTECH nanocenter and the DARS management company. Governor Morozov, together with Ryabov and Chubais, even solemnly laid a time capsule here. No one was embarrassed that Ryabov at that time was the chairman of two of these companies and the general director of a third.
As for the connection between Abyzov and Ryabov, it is alleged that the latter can control the shadow assets of the former minister accused of fraud. This allegedly allows him not to pay his debt to the state.
Thus, the construction business in Moscow does not smell the most pleasant. The stealing Ananyev brothers fled abroad and, it seems, having retired, they lead a measured lifestyle of pensioners, and people with a rich and interesting past, closely associated with very odious figures, have come in their place.
In conclusion, it is worth adding one more important point in the biography of Dmitry Ryabov and his Dars-Construction company. The fact is that the company is under the burden of a certain Khairullova Zyazyamiya Ismagilovna (since April 2020, she has 100% of the company’s shares under security). The mysterious woman is known for buying up the debts of bankrupt businesses. In particular, the Mytishchi company Pivdom LLC. Whose interests she represents remains a mystery. But something else is important here. The Dars-Construction company actually does not risk anything if the project they have undertaken together with the Cyprus offshore goes bankrupt.
