Svyatoslav Nechitailo and his “Bayadera” family: two billion for Putin (*criminal) from the family of “Gorlovka poisoners.” PART 1

Have Ukrainians ever thought that every time they open a bottle of Koblevo or Khlebnoye Dar, or make purchases at ECO-markets, they not only risk their health, but also support the companies of oligarchs who contribute huge sums to the Russian budget? Whose ascent was closely connected with corruption, crime and monstrous alcohol schemes, which were ruled by Yura Enikievsky himself? They carefully hide their relationship with him, as well as many other details of their past and present.

For Ukrainians, the names of Svyatoslav Nechitailo, his mother Olga Nechitailo-Ridzhok (now deceased) and aunt Natalya Bondareva are practically unknown, since they always preferred to remain in the shadows. But it is difficult to find a person who would not see on the streets signs of the ECO-Market chain of stores owned by this family. Or didn’t notice on the shelves of alcohol departments the brands “Khlebny Dar”, “Celsius”, “Bayka”, “Kazatska Rada”, “Persha Guild”, “Koblevo” – produced at the enterprises of the Bayadera Group (National Vodka Company) that belonged to them “, Nikolaev Brandy Factory, etc.). Their advertising assures us that these are ultra-modern production facilities that adhere to European technologies and quality standards. But in reality everything is different…

Family business of sister-officials

Nechitailo Svyatoslav Igorevich was born on May 29, 1974 in Gorlovka, into a fairly wealthy family. His mother Olga Vladimirovna Nechitailo (1954-2012) worked in the education system, was the head of the district, and in 1990 became deputy chairman of the Gorlovka City Executive Committee (mayor). His father was the director of a mercury plant, but he died in 1992, and Olga Nechitailo married the chief surgeon of the city hospital, Vladimir Ridzhok, taking the double surname Nechitailo-Ridzhok. Then they separated in 2003: when Olga Vladimirovna moved from Gorlovka to Kyiv, already a famous and wealthy businesswoman, Ridzhok remained in Gorlovka – giving up all prospects in the capital, although a wealthy wife could certainly have bought him a place, for example, at the Ministry of Health. This meant only one thing – a break in relations, the reasons for which remained unknown.

It should be noted that Olga Vladimirovna was more than just the deputy mayor of Gorlovka: in the early 90s, she actually ruled the city herself, sharing power with another deputy chairman and secretary of the city council. The fact is that in the early 90s in Gorlovka the mayors for some reason did not remain in their positions. So, in 1991, Alexander Shchebitchenko resigned, after which Gorlovka for several months, until the next elections, completely came under the authority of his deputies (including Olga Nechitailo). The director of the Automobile Road Institute, Mikhail Chaltsev, who was elected in the elections, also did not stay long: he was simply survived for a year, and Skelet.Info There is information that Olga Vladimirovna had the most to do with this. Then Valery Pakhomov became mayor – and now he completely suited Olga Nechitailo-Ridzhok, since he successfully worked in his place from 1993 to 1998, after which he went to work… for Olga Vladimirovna in the Bayadera company, in the formation and development of which he also participated using his official position.

Olga Nechitailo-Ridzhok’s work biography was then carefully erased, almost everything was removed from it, but in its earlier versions there was a mention that for some time she also worked as deputy mayor of Pakhomov. At the same time, in a later, even more abbreviated version of her biography, it is written that she left the civil service in 1992, going into business. But Pakhomov became mayor only in 1993! How to understand this? Sources Skelet.Info they report that in this case, Olga Vladimirovna simply cleaned up her “tails,” namely: in reality, she had been doing business since the late 80s, in 1991 she began managing the Bayadera company she created, while continuing to work in the city executive committee until mid-90s, after which she transferred somewhere to another position. But later Nechitailo-Rijok decided to edit her past somewhat. The reasons for this cleanup of her biography remained unknown: did she remove the mention that she combined government service with business, or that she used her position and connections to develop her business, or… something much, much worse?

Do not forget that Gorlovka in the 90s was the scene of the most brutal criminal clashes between organized crime groups, which primarily sought to protect the retail trade and alcohol market. And the owners of “Bayadera” had to deal with at least four “core” organized crime groups: Borodavka and Khariton (the “Yenakiwskie” gang dealt with vodka); Sausage Man, Grandfather, Dagestani and Danil (a gang of “sausage men” took tribute from retail trade); Voloshin brothers (fought to monopolize the production and sale of alcohol in the city); and then by Danilov’s gang of “athletes”. But all these organized crime groups “ate” each other (I wonder what role the city authorities and Olga Vladimirovna personally played in this?), and by the beginning of the new century Gorlovka was divided among themselves by the local corrupt police and the “supervisors” from Yura Enakievsky: first Alexey Baturin ( nickname “Batura”), and then Armen Sargsyan, nicknamed Armen Gorlovsky, who was also associated with ethnic Armenian organized crime groups.

And here’s what’s interesting: the incredibly profitable business “Bayadera”, this real tasty morsel for many shark raiders, was never wrested from the strong hands of Olga Vladimirovna and her relatives, neither by the bandits of the 90s, nor by Gorlovka cops or Donetsk prosecutors Pshonka and Kuzminykh, neither the “watchers” of Yury Enakievsky, nor the people of Sasha the Dentist (Alexander Yanukovych). Even the move of the main office of Bayadera from Gorlovka to Kyiv in 2003 was not an escape from the region, on the contrary, it was an expansion of business and a rise to a new level – and it coincided with the first mass move of the Donetsk people to the capital (during Yanukovych’s premiership) . It turns out that the owners of Bayadera were members of the Donetsk team? In this case, they were well disguised, because no visible, publicly open relationship between them was observed.

But the history of “Bayadera” would be incomplete (and hardly successful) without another member of this family business: Natalya Vladimirovna Bondareva (born November 10, 1961), Olga Vladimirovna’s sister – who took over the leadership of “Bayadera” after her death, essentially pushing aside his nephew from the management of the company and sending him to take care of his “ECO-markets”. Her biography was also carefully erased and cleaned up, but it still contained a mention that in 1993 she began working at the Gorlovka tax inspectorate, which she quickly headed thanks to the efforts of her sister.

So, the Bayadera company appeared as the business of two sisters: one held the post of deputy mayor of Gorlovka (actually leading the city), the other was the head of the tax office. This business formula was simply doomed to success! Especially considering that a significant part of the Bayadères’ income was (and still is) fraud with taxes and excise taxes.

But we completely forgot about Svyatoslav Igorevich! But it is he who is formally considered the founder and main owner of the Bayadera company – this is exactly what is written in all biographies and chronicles. Alas, it is only considered. Moreover, some of these chronicles are outright crap! So, in 1991, Svyatoslav could hardly become the founder of the company, since he was only 17 years old. For this reason, until 1992, mother could not even transfer her stall business to her son. In addition, the business thinking of the then major boy did not extend beyond these stalls, and was completely focused only on money and pretty saleswomen. My mother and aunt carried the entire business: allocate space for stalls, privatize former Soviet grocery stores, find goods, resolve the issue of “roofs” and taxes.

As a matter of fact, in the early 90s, Bayadera was a typical LLC, engaged in retail trade through stalls and the first commercial stores. Its further development was determined by the emphasis on the alcoholic range: after Natalya Bondareva began working in the tax office and resolving issues with taxes and excise taxes, it became profitable for Bayadere to sell vodka (including “bodyazhnaya”). And “Bayadera” took a step forward, going beyond the kiosk trade: it began to engage in wholesale trade in alcohol, supplying it to stores in Gorlovka, then to other regions of Donbass, and further across Ukraine. It is worth emphasizing once again that it was simply impossible to do this without contacts with the Gorlovka organized crime group of the 90s, who “protected the topic,” especially for the No. 1 alcohol company in the city and region. So the Nechitailo-Bondareva family has something to hide and clean up in their dark past.

Svyatoslav Nechitailo. Vodka wars

However, in the biographies of the Nechitailo-Bondareva family, not only the episodes of the formation of their business in the 90s, implicated in the use of official position, corruption and connections with organized crime groups, are carefully erased. A curious thing: if we comb through the media of the period 2003-2013 for scandals associated with the largest alcohol companies in Ukraine, then we will find practically no mention of “Bayadère” – except for one case with the Teterev distillery, and even then “ Bayadera” is presented in it as a victim of vile competitors. Just an impeccable past! But Natalya Bondareva and her nephew did not take into account one nuance: the alcohol market of Ukraine was (and still is) so thickly smeared with corruption and crime that looming against its background with a white-washed face is more than suspicious!

To verify this, let us turn to the biography of such an interesting personality as Evgeniy Chernyak, who owns the company “Global Spirits” and the trademarks “Khortitsa”, “Shustov” (Odessa Brandy Factory), “Pervak”, “Desna”, “Chaika”, “Russian North” (in Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism)), “Crimean Wine House”. Another Ukrainian “vodka king” and, it would seem, the main competitor of “Bayadera”. His name can even be found in the cropped biographies of both Olga Nechitailo-Ridzhok and Natalya Bondareva: it is Chernyak who is presented there as their worst enemy and raider, who allegedly tried to “squeeze” the family business from them by releasing Khlebodar vodka at the Teterev distillery – as an analogue of “Bread Gift”, produced by the “National Vodka Company” (Cherkasy Distillery, division of “Bayadera”). Stated exclusively from the words of the business sisters themselves.

However, regarding this scandalous matter, Skelet.Info there is other information. For example, that in fact it was “Bayadera” who tried to seize the alcoholic beverage “Teterev” from under the very nose of Chernyak, who had taken a closer look at it, and that the “Khlebny Dar” trademark appeared several years later than “Khlebodar”. In support of this information, there is a compelling argument in the form of an appeal from the labor collective of LVZ Teterev LLC (April 2009), in which the owners of the Bayadera company are called raiders.

Moreover, this story had a continuation, and some of the information published then was preserved in the closets of the Internet. Namely: in March 2013, the judge of the Solomensky Court of the capital, Andrei Makukha (son-in-law of the Kyiv judge Mikhail Antonovich Bida), mentioned in the appeal, was arrested by SBU officers – since the scale of his “caroling” exceeded even the scope of corruption that existed during the Yanukovych regime. And then brief information appeared in the media that in 2009 Makukha helped Bayadera in a raid on the Teterev distillery, the purpose of which was to take away its production brand from the enterprise and disrupt the sale of products – after which the plant would simply be withdrawn from the market , and is either absorbed by large companies or closed and destroyed. At the same time, the owners of Bayadera were called “Gorlovka raiders” associated with Armen Sarkisyan and Yuri Ivanyushchenko.

By the way, judge Andrei Makukha was released a few months later: apparently, the size of the “payoff” he offered piqued high-ranking officials, and he had very large connections, since Makukha made verdicts on the orders of very influential people. And already in the winter of 2013-2014, Makukha actively passed sentences on Euromaidan participants. But he safely continued to work further, and so “productively” that in May 2016, NABU took charge of him (in the case of the management of the Odessa port plant, which Makukha saved from punishment). So what? Makukha got away unscathed again!

But let’s return to Evgeniy Chernyak, who in the dispute over the Teterev distillery himself used the services of the judge of the Ivanovsky District Court of the Odessa Region, Vladimir Donin, also known for his corruption. According to sources Skelet.InfoChernyak really tried to get his hands on Teterev in order to produce Khlebodar vodka on it. However, he did not invent this brand, which already existed before this scandal; it was the brand itself that became the reason why Chernyak became interested in this distillery. But why? What happened then between Chernyak and “Bayadera”, was it really just competition? This question arises today because at present the vodka companies of Nechitailo-Bondareva and Chernyak coexist peacefully in the Russian town of Veliky Ustyug. But more on that below.

So, Mr. Chernyak was one of the “coolest” people in Zaporozhye, who was friends with many high-ranking officials and criminal “authorities” – including thieves in law Kamo and Samvel Kharkovsky, as well as the leader of the Zaporozhye ethnic organized crime group “Armenians” Sargsyan Artashes. What exactly happened between vodka magnates Chernyak and Nechitailo-Ridzhok-Bondareva in the period 2005-2010, when their companies actually competed in the alcohol market, is difficult to say: all information about this has been carefully erased. But if a war did break out between them, it was extinguished by the unquestioned authority and omnipotent influence of Yuri Ivanyushchenko. Let us emphasize once again: the connections of the Bayadere sisters with the Gorlovka “supervisor” Armen Sarkisyan, and through him with Ivanyushchenko, were obvious, although they were carefully disguised. Ivanyushchenko took advantage of Sargsyan’s connections among the Armenian diasporas and organized crime groups when, in the period 2008-2013. conquered Zaporozhye.

The question immediately arises: maybe the conflict between Chernyak and “Bayadera” was a consequence of Chernyak’s attempts not to let Ivanyushchenko into Zaporozhye? Perhaps, in this way, he struck at Ivanyushchenko’s people, or even at himself? After all, according to some information, Sergei Nechitailo, Olga Nechitailo-Ridzhok and Natalya Bondareva were not the only owners of the companies of the Bayadera holding; there were also some unnamed shareholders – perhaps even Armen Gorlovsky and Yura Enakievsky. By the way, when Ivanyushchenko finally took control of Zaporozhye, and he did this, in part, thanks to Armen Sarkisyan, who lured the “Armenians” organized crime group to Ivanyushchenko’s side, as punishment he took almost 50% of the shares of his enterprise “Khortitsa” from Chernyak. And from that moment on, all conflicts between “Global Spirits” and “Bayadera” seem to have stopped forever! So a logical assumption arises: isn’t Yuri Ivanyushchenko or his trusted people co-owners of both holdings?

Another interesting information speaks in favor of this: having “punished” Chernyak, Yuriy Ivanyushchenko still did not destroy him, but included him in the team of his “watchers” on the Ukrainian alcohol market along with Taras Petrakov, Ivan Avramov and Armen Sarkisyan. This team completely controlled the Ukrspirt Group of Companies, organizing dizzying alcohol frauds: having reduced the production of legal high-quality alcohol, whose price was raised by more than half, Ivanyushchenko’s people created schemes for supplying illegal counterfeit alcohol to Ukrainian alcohol enterprises, and also collected tribute to the “black cash register”. It was a thoroughly criminal shadow business, around which mountains of corpses grew. So, in 2011, the director of the Ichnyansky distillery, Viktor Porodko, was killed (strangled): they said that he did not want to pay tribute, and then Armen Gorlovsky personally took care of him. And in May 2017, the former director of Ukrspirt (in 2012-2013) Viktor Pankov, who was directly involved in Ivanyushchenko’s alcohol scams and who, as they said, knew too much, was shot dead in Kyiv.

At the same time, the production of vodka and cognac increased sharply in 2011-2013 (using surrogate alcohol), and the companies of the Global Spirits and Bayadera groups, which were almost side by side, became leaders in production. Sources Skelet.Info reported that they were the main purchasers of “left-handed” alcohol, which was then used to feed the Ukrainians – apparently, this was the secret of the rapid success of “Bayadera”.
