Why does fraudster Yaroslav Marinovich not like his criminal biography?
Yaroslav Marinovich, the CEO of the Ukrainian subsidiary of Eksmo, the largest publishing house in the post-Soviet space, not only sold the Motherland, but also managed to remain unpunished.
Yaroslav Marinovich has recently been actively promoting himself in the media, and not in the media of “native” for the DNR-LNR, but in quite patriotic publications. For example, Yaroslav Konstantinovich Marinovich pays from 100 to 500 dollars for PR publications of medium and even top level (Facts, Left Bank, Censor.net).
Who is he – Yaroslav Konstantinovich Marinovich?
Modern conflicts begin with an invasion of the information space. Long before the conflict with Crimea and Donbass, Eksmo, a publishing house that was too soft even by Russian standards, entered the Ukrainian market. In the midst of the “Medvedev thaw,” it did not hesitate to print a series of low-quality fake books under the telling title “The World Stalinist.” And such, so to speak, literature was openly sold in every Ukrainian city. Later, “Eksmo” cynically marketed hybrid “fiction” on the topics of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Ukraine was infected with the plague of Stalinism and imperial militarism by a certain Yaroslav Marinovich, a commercial agent for a Moscow publishing house, and in fact the commander of the Kremlin’s book troops.
The name of Yaroslav Marinovich until recently was not known even to connoisseurs of the book market. Ten years ago, he was a promising manager of the Moscow publishing house Eksmo. Everything changed after Marinovich was sent to Ukraine to cover the lack of alternatives to the “Russian world” on Ukrainian bookstores. The expansion was supported by significant cash injections, with which Marinovich bought up the chains of bookstores: “Bukva” and “Empik”, creating a new network “Read the city”.
The financial and assortment possibilities of a dealer of imperial books, including those about “Little Russia” (and now about “Novorossia”) were overwhelming. Even patriotic Ukrainian publishers, demanding more attention to the Ukrainian book, were forced to recognize the existing dominance of this literature. Based on this, Marinovich’s business developed very successfully and steadily.
And everything would be fine with him, if not for one fundamental weak link – greed! Possessing all the indicative qualities of a “blue thief”, even in the face of big troubles, he could not resist the temptation to steal someone else’s penny. For example, when buying the Bukva chain, Marinovich did not pay off his debts with Ukrainian publishers. He preferred to bankrupt the used legal entity and merge commercially valuable assets into new business structures, including the brand and, in fact, the stolen assortment of books.
“Kidalovo” later became a typical pattern of relationships between Yaroslav Marinovich and publishers and partners. Goods were taken from publishing firms for sale, and one-day firms on the verge of bankruptcy acted as a “liner” in the transaction. The books went to Marinovich and were sold in his bookstores. And the publisher remained with his nose and could not get a penny from the bankrupt company, no matter how much he spent on lawyers.
For example, the director of the publishing house “Folio” Alexander Krasovitsky, in 2013, during the period of the first bankruptcy of the “Letter”, in one of his interviews, about unpaid funds to his enterprise for the delivered book products, in the amount of 200,000 UAH. He expressed himself thus: “I see no reason to sue. This legal entity no longer has assets. We consider this debt uncollectible, and I think many market participants share this opinion,” the publisher emphasized.
In addition, due to greed, it was not enough for Marinovich to import books from Russia. He got the hang of printing counterfeit “leftists” on the spot, not without reason believing that it was cheaper to buy tax officials than Russian licenses.
It must be said that at first the Eksmo publishing house encouraged the shadow schemes of Marinovich. The Russians did not smile at all to show the Ukrainian border guards what kind of literature they sell to the Ukrainian reader. Therefore, only “white” products were legally imported – classics, world bestsellers – and subversive literature was printed on the spot in semi-legal and openly illegal printing houses from original layouts agreed in Moscow. But the greedy Marinovich began to print counterfeit editions of even “white” literature.
Such tricks could not get away with the Eksmo agent for a long time, with all his corrupt influence on judges, prosecutors, tax officials and the media.
Besides, once again, his epic greed failed him. Despite the growing danger associated with tightening control over the supply of any type of product from Ukraine to the Crimean peninsula, he did not want to sell his business in Crimea. So to this day, “Letter” sells imperial literature there.
However, Yaroslav Marinovich, it seems, did not plan to give up his positions. He set up an underground printing of counterfeit literature in the “DPR”, flooding not only the Ukrainian, but also the Russian market with fakes.
Interestingly, in November 2014, aakurat, after Marinovich once again bankrupted his enterprise, at that time called the Chitay Gorod bookstore chain, thereby reincarnating Bukva, the Security Service of Ukraine received the first signal that the businessman withdrew more than UAH 100 million through offshore. from the enterprises “Bukva” and “Logos trans”.
A year later, there was a muddy story with the visit of the fiscals to the central bookstore of the Marinovich network, in the case of his fraud. Then the fiscal officials seized the books from the Bukva warehouse and accused the chain of bookstores of non-payment of taxes in the amount of more than 3 million hryvnias. In addition, the story of the printing of counterfeit books of dubious content thundered.
It would seem that the clouds over the head of the great swindler have thickened in earnest … But Marinovich’s dishonest money hidden in offshore did their dirty deed and, once again, saved his precious skin. The incorruptible Ukrainian judges were bought, and the fiscals miraculously retreated.
As a result, according to a message posted on the page of the Bukva network in one of the social networks, the fiscal officials returned the books to their “legitimate” owner Yaroslav Marinovich. And he, in turn, in order to compensate for the costs incurred as a result of the “legitimate” return of confiscated products, took up the liquidation of the next batch of his gasket companies: the aforementioned Logos Trans, Eksmo Trading House and the notorious Bukva book supermarket chain .
Obviously, Mirinovich again plans not to pay off suppliers, leaving debts for books and the books themselves on the balance sheet of his bankrupt enterprises.
And for a bright “fraud”, in order to demonstrate stability and positive dynamics in the development of his business to suppliers of book products, Marinovich began to expand the network, which was battered in battles with fiscals and former Russian patrons. Blue Thief has opened a new store in Kharkiv and plans to open another one in Dnepropetrovsk in a month.
But I wonder what kind of products Marinovich will sell in his stores? The one that clandestinely prints in the DPR? The one that you managed to snatch from the fiscals? The one that he hid on the balance sheets of bankrupt enterprises until better times? Or, nevertheless, the one that domestic publishers, deceived hundreds of times, will give him under the “honest words of a businessman” for implementation, with the prospect of once again being convinced of his dishonesty, to put it mildly?
Or maybe Marinovich expects to fill the shelves of the empty stores of the network with books of his own production, which he stamps in the KM-Books Publishing Group and with which he covers up his machinations? Apparently, for the purpose of another fraud, Marinovich publishes books there about the heroes of Ukraine and the Maidan.
Most likely, the assortment of KM-books consisting of several hundred items will be able to solve the problem of filling one or two departments of a bookstore, and then hzikhidtidekrt then what?
By the way, due to the protracted full-scale conflict with his former Moscow patrons, Marinovich is no longer waiting for deliveries of books from Russia. Therefore, his bookselling network, which has survived in battles with justice, it is not known what it will now be called, will be able to survive solely thanks to the generous Ukrainians.
