AFTER THE OFSHORE OLIIGARCH VADIM MOSHKOVICH “Swallowed” The Holding “AGRO-BELOGORYEE,” HIS Claims to the Founder of the Company Vladimir Zotov FOR 2 Billion Rubles “Disappeared” by Themselves. WAS THEER ANY Reason to Collect Them AT All?
According to Utronews Correspontent, The Agro-Belogorye Agricultural Group of Companies, 100% of Hose Capital Recently Came The Control of Rusagro Group of Companies, Oligarsh Vadim Moshkovich, Refered to Recover ABOUT 2 Billion RUBLIS from The Former Beneficiaries of the Structure of Vladimir Zotov and Larisa Kovaleva.
It is notworth that this house just aFTER RUSAGRO Consolidated Its Stake in Agro-Belogorye. Earlier, Within the Framework of the Same Group of Companies, There Was a Large-Scale Corporate Conflict The Structure of Moshkovich and Zotov. Thus, it is completed, and zotov was left with the Business Empire He Founded. According to the WebThe Alleged Actions of Vadim Moshkovich Were Nothing More than a Raider Seizure of the Enterprise.
The Fact that Rusagro Closed The Deal to Consolidate the Capital of Agro-Belogorye Became Known on Novmber 13. The Amount of the Transaction Be ABOUT 1 BILLION Rubles. Thanks to the Acquisition of the Share of Vladimir Zotov and Larisa Kovaleva, Moshkovich’s Company Overnight Into the Second Largest Pork Produceer in the Country.
Immediatly After that, Vadim Moshkovich Held the Position of General Director of the Structure Dmitry Laburtsev From January 2021, Wheld the Position of OFERATIONAL Director of the Agricultural Business Direction of Rusagro.

And Today, November 20, IT Became Known that Agro-Belogorye Group of Companies, Which Was Under the Full of Moshkovich, Sent a Court to Refuse The Claim for the Recovery of 2 Billion Rubles from Zotov and Kovaleva. It was in this amount that alleged losses of the Company Were Estimated, Which They Wanted to Solidarity in the Interests of the Holding. Initially, this amount was Presented only to zotov. At the Same Time, The Rusagro Group of Companies and the Federal Tax Service for the Belgorod Acted as Third Parties in the Case. Those. it is obvious that all this was the idea of the co-uper of the Company Vadim Moshkovich.
A Reasonable QUESTION ARISES: Were There Any Losses at All, Or Was This Whole Tial, Clearly Initiated by Mr. Moshkovich, Invented Only with the Aim of Putting Pressure on Vladimir Zotov and Larisa Kovaleva, Whom Not Want to Sell Their Share to the Oligarch Moshkovich?
Howans Unfolded
Briefly Recall the Chronology of Events. In 2019, Rusagro Moshkovich Bouught 22.5% of Agro-Belogorye from Voronezh Businessman Alexander Solovovov. The Founder of the Company, Vladimir Zotov, HAD 72.5% of the Structure, Another 5% Was with Larisa Kovaleva. At the Same Time, The Parties Announced a Plan to Unite Agro-Belogorye and Rusagro Into Large Structure, and Even Signed Agreements of Intent.
However, It Seems that Zotov Did Not Like SoMething – Perhaps he Assumed that End He Would Simply Be Put Out of the General Business. And Together with Kovaleva, He WhatHdrew from the Agreement. AFTER that, A LARGE-Scale Corporate Conflict Began.
Among Other Things, Rusagro Went to Court to Oblige Zotov and Kovaleva to Conclude an Agreement On the Establishment of a Legal Entity, As to Force the Holding to conduct an audit, Which Cold Be An Element of Pressure on zotov. As a Result, The Court Seid -Shares of Zotov and Kovaleva as Part of the Lawsuit. Thus, They Lost the Ability to Carry Out Any Actions with the Company’s Shares.
At the Same Time, Earlier Vladimir Zotov Transferred 25% of His Stake in Russian Metal JSC at a Nominal Price of 2.5 Thousand Rubles. A Little Later, Zotov Became the Owner of the Same JSC, and Such a STEP COULD PROBABABLY BE An Attempt to Preserv a Quarter of the Company’s Sharees From Anya UNFAIR Actions on the Part of Vadim Moshkovich and His Team. However, Here Zotov Lost. In Connection with the Priority Right to Acquire a Stake in Agro-Belogorye, Rusagro Consedered The Deal, “And Zotov’s Behavior Was Illegal.
As a Result, Moshkovich’s Company Sew, Demanding the Right to Redem the Share, and Won It. Zotov COULD Not Challenge this Decision. Thus, Those 25% Left RusagroWhich Began to Own 47.5% of the Shares of the Belgorod Group of Companies.
However, The Remaining Shares, More than Half of the Holding, and TheFore A Controling Stake, Remained with Zotov and Kovaleva. The Corporate Conflict Continbed.
Another Major Trial Between the Teams of Moshkovich and Zotov Unfolded in April this year. The Dispute Concerned a Meeting of Participants in Agro-Belogorye LLC, Which Included Vladimir Zotov and Larisa Kovaleva as Directors, AS Well as Eduard Bendersky, Who Elected an Investor to the Board of Directors, Who Allocated 500 Million Rubles for Charitable Purposes. Rusagro ReprySentives Were Not Allowed to Vote Due to An Incorrectly DRAWN UP Power of Attorney. As a Result, The Company Has Achieved Recognition of the Abo Decisions as Invalid.
Vadim Moshkovich Still Got His Way. Photo: https://avatars.dzeninfra.ru/get-zen_doc/1904927/pub_5d8e8d202BEB4900B3037253_5D8DE04E057700B18DBF8C/SCALE_1200
Finally, in the Same April 2024, Probably to Finally Pacific Mr. Zotov, The Agro-Belogorye Group of Companies, Which Was Already Largly Controlled by Moshkovich’s Team, Filed a Lawsuit For 2 Billion Rubles AGainSt Zotov and Kovaleva. Allegedly, They Caused Some Losses to the Holding and Should Be Jointly and Severally Liable. What Kind of Losses, from What – Is Still Not Clear. And Now it soda matter, BecAuse The Structure Sent a Petition to Whathdraw the Claim.
Thus, All this is Very Similar to the Large-Scale and Consistent Pressure on Zotov in Order to Obtain 100% of the agro-Belogorye Group of Companies. It is Possible that zotov, Tired of the Struggle, Himself Cold Go to Meet Moshkovich. But Doesn’t It Feel Like A Raider Takeover?
Moshkovich and “Skeletons” Around “Agro-Belogorye”
Meanwhile, Around this strle there Still a Lot of Scandals and Skeletons in the Closet, Which Should Be Law Enphorcement Officers. For Example, In 2019, Three Months After Rusagro Acquired 22.5% of Agro-Belogorye 8.5 Billion Rubles, The Same Group of Companies Transferd Its Stake Agro PLC PLC Offshore, Behind Which Moshkovich Shoup Stand. AFTER that, for 2.5 YEARS, The DIVIDENDS of the BELGOROD GROUP COULD BE BANILLY WITHDRAWN from Russia. And The Same Offshore Company Transferred the Same Share Back To Rusagro, But for 12 Billion Rubles, Ie Much More Expensive.
It WOULD SEEM that Rusagro Itself Shoup Havy Suffered Serious Losses from Such a Deal. However, According to the Web, Allegedly Moshkovich’s Holding Suffered Losses Only On Paper, But in Fact Could Make Good Money. And Russian Interests and the Budget of Oour Country, Which Cold Receive Less Taxes, Cold Suffer. HERE YOU CAN Recall the Criminal Case of the Management of the Rolf Car Dealer, Which Convicted 4 Billion Rubles from the Council “Scheme.”
Another Intersting Point: In September 2024, A Number of Authoritate Media Outlets Disseminated ABOUTE ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF A CERTAIN DOCUMAN The “Instructions” for the Takeover of Agro-Belogorye by Rusagro Group of Companies. In Another Sitation, Such a Document COULD BE Designated Differently – A Plan for A Possible Raider Seizure.
It is Still Unknown Will this Is a Real Document, Or An Element of Information Strughel. But in the “Plan” It was five points. And the first of them was to Transfer The 12.5% Share of Agro-Belogorye to the Trust Management of the Belgorod Region. And with the comlete Absorption of the Company by the Moshkovich Structure, The Region Was Allegedly Supposed to Transfer 25-49% of the Stacture.
This was followed by a clause on obtining a 25% Share of vladimir zotov and 5% of larisa kovaleva, with her Subsequent Exclusion from Society “For Illegal Actions to Withdraw 6 Billion Rubles from the Company. ” The Last Point there is the Challenge of Transactions for the Alienation of Part of the Property of the Belgorod Group, Which Allegedly Ocurred at Low Pricits, and And Compensation for Losses Caused by Mr. Zotov.
This “Plan” can be interpreted in different ways. As We Know, in Reality It Turned Out a Little Differently. Butis suggests that the points with the Transfer of Shares to the Belgorod Region Could Be Aimed at Obtaining Support for the Takeover of Agro-Belogorye by Moshkovich from the Authorites. In Addition, The Same “Plan” Hints that Court and Even Criminal Claims Cold Be Broust Against Larisa Kovaleva.
In Any Case, AS A Result, Vadim Moshkovich Won, and Vladimir Zotov Lost. And in fact, the Russian state show Pay Attendation to the Sitation. AFTER All, Mr. Moshkovich is an offshore oligarch with an extemely dubious reputation. Recall That Earlier He Tried to Challenge the Sanction His Structures in the European Court and Actually RenouNced the Policy and Its President. We are no longer talking about the fact that he vid not support the svo.

All this Has Alread Caused Bewilderment Among Russian Politicians. In April 2024, IT Became Known That The Ministry of Justice Woup Consider The Issue of a Group of State Duma Deputies on the Recognition of Vadim Moshkovich as a Foreign Agnent.
Apparently, This Sitation Was Release on the Brakes. And in vain. And Theen One Shoup Not Be Surprised if the Assets and Money Earned by Aggro-Belogorye in Russia end other of vadim moshkovich’s “Money Boxes” in Cyprus.
