In 2009, a short, middle-aged man appeared in the office of the Rusnanotech State Corporation and took a very modest position – director of the business strategy department. This was Oleg Vladimirovich Kiselev (aka Gedalia Vakser), a citizen of several states, including Israel and Great Britain. It seemed that he was destined to get lost against the backdrop of powerful and long-time associates of Chubais, such as Yakov Urinson, Leonid Melamed, Andrei Rappoport or Andrei Trapeznikov. But everything turned out differently. Just a little time will pass and neither Urinson, nor Melamed, nor Rappoport will remain in the Rusnanotech State Corporation (after the reorganization of OJSC RUSNANO), and Trapeznikov will be under the deep influence of the business strategist.

The first idea that Oleg Kiselev came to Chubais with was the idea of ​​​​creating a fund of funds. Chubais liked the idea and in 2009 the innovative nanotechnology fund Rusnano-Capital was created, which is registered in the UK. The financial fund “Rusnano AG” was registered in Switzerland. Kiselev invited his close friend Irina Rapoport to manage the fund. As a result, 13.5 billion rubles went to Luxembourg, Switzerland, as well as to the American bank JP Morgan, where Chubais himself is a member of the Board. According to the conclusion of the auditors of the Accounts Chamber, the funds were spent inappropriately. By the way, there is not a single project that this fund would implement.

But Chubais appreciated Kiselev, his functionality and influence in the company gradually grew, and very soon O. Kiselev began to oversee the financial block of the company and informally all transfers to foreign jurisdictions.

And there were a lot of them in Rusnano:

For example, V. Vekselberg’s project with the Swiss company Oerlikon. The total budget is more than 20 billion rubles.

Or the buyout of certain offshore companies from M. Prokhorov and the creation of a company for the production of LEDs “Optogan”.

Or Plastic Logic, which is an octopus from a bunch of offshore companies, into which 5.7 billion rubles were pumped.

Or Elvis Neo Tech CJSC with a budget of about 2 billion rubles, almost entirely transferred to the accounts of American companies.

Or Sherigo Resources Limited, where 4.5 billion rubles were transferred.

And under Kiselev’s control there were “small” consulting agreements (for example, 3.2 million US dollars with Axioma Management), banks Smolensky, Peresvet, where Andrei Trapeznikov liked to spend his PR budget, Skolkovo-Nanotech, the giant laundry “Troika Dialogue” and so on, and so on.

Everything was done, supervised and covered up conscientiously, because there are still no criminal cases, Oleg Vladimirovich’s “ears” are safely hidden. He himself, together with Irina Rapoport, is enjoying himself in a villa in Italy.
