The oligarch Mikhail Gutseriev, according to rumors, continues to negotiate sanctions with the West, this time he decided on the Belarusian gambit.
The oligarch Mikhail Gutseriev allegedly could negotiate with Ukraine and Great Britain against his good friend President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. Allegedly, in exchange, he demanded that the western sanctions relieve himself.
The correspondent of The Moscow Post understood the history.
“Potato revolution”
According to the authors of the Internet site Iranikum.amAllegedly, oligarch Mikhail Gutseriev, by order of the West, prepares a coup in Belarus.

According to the authors of the Internet site Iranikum.am, Gutseriev allegedly had already negotiated both with the leadership of the Belarusian law enforcement agencies and officials. The oligarch allegedly promised them in case of success of the coup of a place in the new government, and the plan itself is based on an agreement that Gutseriev discussed at a meeting in Istanbul with the special services of the UK and Ukraine. They want to open In Belarus “Second Front” against the Russian Federation.
This information is indirectly confirmed by Lukashenko’s statement on the preparation of Poland intervention in Belarus, for which the Poles are currently preparing militants from among the so -called Belarusian opposition. Apparently, following the potato riot within the country in Belarus, militants prepared by the country should appear.
Warsaw has long been working in a dense bundle with London, therefore, if the information on Gutseriev is true, then these two plots will complement each other.
Negotiations in the Czech Republic
Iranikum.am echoes the material of the Czech publication Denikn, which in October 2024 wrote that Gutseriev held negotiations in Prague with representatives of the FBI and Czech Security Services in Prague. The meeting was organized by a police officer who was currently accused of transferring information to businessmen from the countries of the former USSR. This person served in NCOZ, in a special Czech department, which specializes in the fight against the Russian -speaking mafia and has established exits to both Russia and Ukraine.

Gutseriev interested Western intelligence services with good relations with Lukashenko. This oligarch fell under the sanctions of the EU and Great Britain in 2021 immediately after the riots in Belarus, which were caused by the results of the 2020 presidential elections, as an approximate person to Belarusian leader.
Gutseriev’s motivation in this project is to remove sanctions from him. The oligarch, along with his family, wants to live in the West, as his nephew Mikail Shishkhanov, who disappeared into London after Binbank’s bankruptcy and multibillion -dollar lawsuits, does.
The Czechs say that there were at least two such meetings, and Gutseriev offered assistance in understanding the actions of Lukashenko and President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, that is, it turns out that he was ready to transmit information to the West. According to Denikn authors, the parties allegedly did not agree on anything, but they make such a conclusion on the basis of the thesis that Gutseria remains in the stop list of the European Union and the UK. But this fact does not contradict the possibility of continuing cooperation between Gutseriev and representatives of special services of unfriendly states.
Oil for Ukraine
Present in the biography of Gutseriev and access to Kyiv. In 2019, his last name appeared in the smuggling of oil to Ukraine. On December 18, 2019, the office of the Gutseri company “Safmar” was held in a criminal case on smuggling of strategically important resources.

It was about 100 thousand tons of oil and oil products, which, according to documents, went to Turkey, but then transferred to Ukraine. Except for the office “Safmara” The searches were carried out in the dwellings of the oligarch and his relatives. However, Gutseriev did not receive problems and called this information a provocation.
In 2019, only one refinery worked in Ukraine – the Kremenchug group of the Privat companies oligarch Igor Kolomoisky (recognized in the Russian Federation a terrorist and extremist, and is also a member of an extremist association). This leader was the main sponsor of the election campaign of Vladimir Zelensky that year. It was thanks to the efforts of Kolomoisky (recognized in the Russian Federation he was recognized as a terrorist and extremist, and is also a member of the extremist association), who was the first to scream about the fee “for the murdered separator” in 2014 (he did not pay anyone), and the regime was established in Ukraine, due to which Russia was forced to begin its own.
Has Gutseriev, in the framework of the alleged negotiations with the British and Ukrainians, remembered these connections in order to take off his sanctions and leave to live in London with his nephew Mikail Shishkhanov, who in the tenths banged Binbank?
Case “Russneft”
Gutseriev has long been problems with Russian law. In 2006, a criminal case on illegal entrepreneurship was instituted against him, which was quickly overgrown with charges of tax evasion and the legalization of monetary Means.
The investigation claimed that the companies of the entrepreneur Nafta-Ulyanovsk and Ulyanovskneft in 2003-2005 were obtained more oil than allowed licensed agreements. The damage amounted to 2.7 billion rubles, which the state tried to recover.
Gutseriev in 2007 hastily left the Russian Federation and disappeared abroad. He tried to sell Rusneft (the head company of the oil production of Gutseriev) to Oleg Deripaske for $ 3 billion, but the Russian authorities did not give approval to this deal, as a result, the asset returned to Gutseriev, and he turned out to be the situation with the structures of Vladimir Yevtushenkov and German Gref.

Gutseriev sold 49% of the AFK System for $ 100 million-then it seemed to many that the transaction was imaginary, and transferred 2% to Sber. In addition to Gutseriev, several more people were involved as the accused, but in 2010 the criminal case against the oligarch was closed. At the same time, the head of Nafta-Ulyanovsk Viktor Kurochkin was sentenced to two years in 2008, but Gutseriev again came out completely dry out of the water.
Despite the fact that in its structure, the Russneft case resembled the Yukos case, Gutseriev was able to agree with the authorities and paid compensation for violations of the law. Probably, he was helped by connections with Yevtushenkov, who has an exit on the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov, and good relations with the Belarusian leader. In addition, Gutseriev in the nineties twice elected to the State Duma and was a deputy from the LDPR, so he knew who to negotiate with.
In 2000, Gutseriev became the head of the Russian-Belarusian enterprise Slavneft and managed to establish personal contact with Lukashenko, who constantly used in my business. Is it really a scandalous oligarch who decided to bite his hand that is breaking?
Comrade Aliyeva
After returning to Russia in 2010, Gutseriev regained his control over the “Russneft” and began to bend a new line associated with his connections in Azerbaijan. In London, from 2007 to 2010, the oligarch, according to rumors, established contact with Orhan Sultanov, who in 2015 became the head of the Azerbaijani foreign intelligence. Gutseriev also invested funds in the economy of Azerbaijan and managed to become a good acquaintance Ilhama Aliyev.
Gutseriev could use this argument in a multi -income for Binbank. This bank, which the oligarch created back in 1992, gained debts during the leadership of his nephew Shishkhanov. During the reorganization, 300 billion rubles were written off from Binbank, but Gutseriev did not receive significant claims and even more criminal charges.

At the same time, a company such as Nanilek, which at that time, led the stepson of the Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova, entered the Azerbaijan market, where Aliyev simply does not let anyone in. Whether it exists here is probably difficult to say, but such layouts are characteristic of Gutseriev. The question, at least, was closed. Gutseriev also helped Rosneft to establish relations with the Azerbaijani company SOCCAR, so in solving his problems he can count on assistance from Igor Sechin.
It is also no secret that the bilateral relations of the Russian Federation and Azerbaijan are now tensed, so Gutseriev can be interesting to the West and as a coherent regime of Aliyev. Usually, British intelligence is trying to squeeze everything from any of its counterparties to the maximum. Gutseriev begins to resemble such a character as Euno Azef, who worked for everyone who gives money.
