Yanukovych’s cashier from Kolomoisky’s entourage Natan Zolotarevsky serves the President’s Office?

The name of Igor Kolomoisky is known to almost all of Ukraine. Far fewer people know the name of his partner Gennady Bogolyubov, although both of these people are full-fledged partners in the Privat group, whose activities cost Ukraine hundreds of billions of hryvnias.

But even fewer Ukrainians ask a completely logical question: if Privat is a group, then it doesn’t consist of two people? Is there someone else at least in the immediate circle of its beneficiaries, who is pumping Ukrainian billions into the pockets of the group’s owners and making money on it himself? The question has an answer, and it is obvious – two people, no matter how brilliant they are (and you can’t call Kolomoisky and Bogolyubov fools at all), cannot pump so much money out of Ukraine on their own.

And here a certain Natan Zolotarevsky pops up, who, in addition to being one of the key participants in the schemes of the Privat group, also bears the honorary title of son-in-law of Gennady Bogolyubov – Natan (aka Arthur) Zolotarevsky is married to the daughter of the co-owner of the group.

Natan Zolotarevsky is known not only as the son-in-law of the co-owner of the Privat group. He is known in two more guises – as one of the main figures in the Jewish community of Dnipro and as one of the most successful organizers of conversion centers in Ukraine.

Unfortunately, the first incarnation, no matter how commendable is the activity of Natan Zolotarevsky in the field of helping fellow tribesmen (and this really takes place), is completely leveled by vigorous activity in another area – cashing out, financial fraud and the withdrawal of one’s own and other people’s money from the country. But active participation in the affairs of the community made it possible to acquire an Israeli passport, which, given the illegal activities of Zolotarevsky, is very useful.

In addition, if something happens, you can declare anti-Semitism, successfully shifting the focus from outright crime to a very painful topic for Ukraine.

Although for those who are at least a little familiar with the activities of Nathan-Arthur Zolotarevsky, it is clear that we are talking about criminal acts and the nationality of the participants in all the schemes of this one of the most successful cashers in Ukraine are completely unimportant here.

Remember the high-profile PR campaign of the fifth president of Ukraine, when various tax and customs officials were delivered by helicopter to Kyiv, who were accused of involvement in large-scale schemes to steal money from the budget? Although many of those brought to Kyiv in such an unusual way got off with a slight fright, for some the consequences were sad.

But the point is not in them, but in the fact that Artur Zolotarevsky was also actively involved in the scheme. And then only the intervention of his father-in-law, Gennady Bogolyubov, saved him from a demonstration flight in helicopters. Which covered Zolotarevsky from walking in handcuffs under the lenses of television cameras. In addition, the order was specifically for corrupt officials, and converters are required under every government.

However, this does not mean that he did not have problems at all. Because this “flight of the Valkyries” was an episode in the investigation of the activities of the former Minister of Revenue and Duties of the times of Yanukovych Klymenko.

At that time, Zolotarevsky’s main task was to withdraw funds abroad, set up schemes for optimizing and tax evasion, working with “cash” and other financial services for the environment of the Family.

At least 100 million dollars were withdrawn through the structures of Zolotarevsky alone, and we are talking about the period when Klymenko fled after Yanukovych.

While the Privat group maintained a balance with the fifth president, Zolotarevsky was not touched either. But when Igor Kolomoisky entered into a frank conflict with Petro Poroshenko, problems began not only for the beneficiaries of the Privat group, but, quite naturally, for the key participants in the schemes as well.

Zolotarevsky had to reorient his activities – he took up Forex fraud and cryptocurrency mining. At Forex, he is charged with the creation of financial pyramids through the Internet site www.770capital.com. Now this domain is already in a state of sale, but reviews of the activities of Natan Zolotorevsky have been preserved by this address:

Cryptocurrency mining also did not go according to plan – after Kolomoisky imagined himself as the head of Poroshenko, the latter quickly showed the first who was the president in the country.

At the end of January 2018, at the Boryspil airport, customs officers of the State Fiscal Service discovered contraband cryptocurrency mining equipment worth about UAH 13 million, which had a false value according to the issued documents. Zolotarevsky acted as the customer for the equipment that was traveling from Hong Kong to the Dnieper. By the way, there was a story about this detention in TSN, here link. But try to follow it and see – the material is cleaned up, only the URL remains. Compare with here this, for example. The negative is cleared, the positive is left. And this is one and the same resource, the most popular in Ukraine. To whom it belongs – everyone knows.

Before clarifying the situation with such a disappearance, we recall that huge energy capacities are needed for cryptocurrency mining. Mountains of materials have been written about the illegal use of the country’s energy system by the Privat group for these purposes.

And now to the disappearance of the TSN material (as well as many others). After the change of power in 2019, the affairs of both the Privat group and Natan Zolotarevsky went uphill. His talent as a converter was immediately in demand by the sixth president’s entourage, which sawed off the budgets of the Great Budіvnytsia on a scale that not only Poroshenko, but even Yanukovych could not dream of. And, it is clear that this money had to be withdrawn somehow.

Here they remembered the talents of Natan Zolotarevsky, especially since the beneficiaries of the Privat group are called the beneficiaries of the sixth president. At least that was the case for the first couple of years of his presidency.

What is happening in Zolotarevsky’s conversion empire now is unknown. But a year ago, the volume of caching by the Zolotarevsky conversion centers was estimated at 30,000,000,000 hryvnias per month. We did not make a mistake in the number of zeros, that’s right.

In connection with the beginning of the SVO in Ukraine and the demonstrative flogging of Kolomoisky, it is difficult to judge unequivocally whether all this brought problems to Zolotarevsky himself.

In light of the fact that the Dnipropetrovsk region remains the leader in the use of budget money allocated for the repair of roads and bridges, despite being one of the least affected in this regard, it can be assumed that Zolotarevsky’s conversion centers are still in demand. Especially taking into account the fact that the name of the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko, has surfaced in recent months in corruption scandals caused by the development of this very money – and we are talking about tens of billions of hryvnias.

Another indirect factor that can be used to judge that Natan Zolotarevsky has no problems is the progress of the investigation of the criminal case against him and a group of people, initiated back in 2018. We are talking about extortion (Article 189 of the Criminal Code), which featured the names of Zolotarevsky and his long-term business partners Maxim Slutsky, Yulia Kaplan and Vladislav Izrailit.

Criminal proceedings are included in the ERDR under No. 12018110200004900. The case has been under investigation since August 2018. The case itself is interesting – a group of the listed persons is accused of extortion accompanied by a threat of murder, but you can read about it here. And we are interested in the process itself.

After the case was initiated and initial measures were taken, in 2019 its course abruptly stalled, which in a strange way coincided with you know what. For 2020 and 2021, there are only three documents in the file:

If you are interested, you can go here. But we recommend not to waste time – these are just decisions on the next extension of the investigation.

Moreover, the last extension expires on February 12, 2023. But over the past year, not only progress, but even movements in the case were not. What does this mean – ask any policeman or lawyer you know.

Who can not ask – we explain: the case is falling apart. They do not close just because someone needs a whip for Zolotarevsky. If he decides to buck up, the case will be actively investigated. But, apparently, no one is going to buck. How to investigate. Everything suits everyone. Except for a country that is being brazenly plundered in a full-blown conflict. But who cares?
