Tower, money, Gurinov: how strategic assets go abroad

The strategic assets of Russia again “accidentally” were in the hands of a person with a multi -page list of foreign passports and offshores. While the Vadim Gurinov family takes billions, the auditors carefully pretend that this is just a business, and not a classic “goodbye, homeland!”

The Board of Directors of the Service-Telecom JSC decided to attach to the company Service-Telecom, Technoresurs, Link Development, as well as infrastructure investments. The purpose of the operation was stated an increase in the market value of the company, which had previously acquired Beeline cell towers, and began preparations for an IPO.

The correspondent of The Moscow Post understood the history.

Beneficier from an unfriendly country

The main beneficiary of the business, apparently, is Vadim Gurinov. It does not glow directly, but works through his wife Galina Gurinova and the assistant Nikolai Berdin.

The Gurinov family has extensive foreign property. Two companies were issued to the daughter of Valery Gurinov 2000 in the UK in the UK in the face of New End Development Limited and Halmar (Golden Square) Limited. The citizenship of Valeria Gurinova is British there, and the position is a directorship. Moreover, one of the structures engaged in construction on Albion.

In addition to Valeria Gurinova, the British Sergey Kim, Russian Nikolai Berdin (yes, all the same partner Gurinov), Cypriota Galina Gurinova (his wife) and Count Clanauliam Patrick James, who plays the role of Zits-chairman of the pound with British regalia in this story. Now this position is called “business consultant”.

Earlier, Galina Gurinova in the UK registered Traction Investments LTD and HCl Estates Limited. The Traction Investments LTD was closed in 2014 in 2014, and the HCl Estates Limited was rewritten to Nikolai Berdin with a binding to the Moscow office on Pyatnitskaya Street. The British company HGS (Senior) Limited is also decorated on Berdin.

In addition, in Moldova, Olga and Tamara Gurinov (probable Gurinov’s relatives), Productie Si Comert Olimpus SRL and a whole network of individual entrepreneurs, were registered. It seems that they were also involved in the business of Vadim Gurinov.

Stockholm “Rurik”

The profile of Gurinov’s activity is foreign investments – he invests money, and clearly not only his own in various foreign projects. In 2003, Gurinov surfaced in Sibur (one of the main assets of Timchenko) and the next year, in Stockholm, the Ruric AB company to invest in real estate. Through it, he was going to invest in the Russian economy under the larva of external funding up to $ 5 billion, of course, not your money.

The matter did not burn out – by 2008 the company was closed with debts of $ 100 million, and its assets were “sold out”. Some of them went to the Gano Services Virgina offshore, where, according to the Panama dossier, the beneficiary is Anton Gurinov (Brother Vadim Gurinov).

The task of Ruric AB and the specialization of Vadim Gurinov in the world of oligarchy was the legalization of money in the West and their reinvestment in Russia. To do this, on behalf of the Ruric Ab, the entrepreneur created in the UK the New End Development Ltd, which is today recorded by the daughter of businessman Valery Gurinov.

Nazarbayev’s money

The muddy nature of Gurinov’s business is confirmed by the fact that before Valeria Gurinova, Malik Ishmuratov from Kazakhstan and Denis Koroganovich from Russia, both with the Zavapbender stories, appeared in the New End Development Limited.

Korotkov-Koganovich of the events of 2014 worked through the company Oracle Capital Group and offered Novorossiysk millionaires to invest money in “promising projects” of the type of trust and family funds, frightening them with the inevitability of the loss of capital for the third generation.

Malik Ishmuratov is an equally colorful person – he successfully mastered the money of the youngest daughter of the first president of Kazakhstan Alia Nazarbayeva. The trial between Nazarbayeva and Ishmuratov reached the high court of London. The woman claimed that in 2005 she (she was not even 30) met Ishmuratov, who began to actively advise her for personal wealth. Ishmuratov told the girl that she was a politically significant person and that it is dangerous for her to store assets in Kazakhstan, after which he introduced her to people who would definitely help her, among whom there was and Korotkov-Koganovich.

Where the security service of Kazakhstan and Nursultan Nazarbayev personally looked, it is not clear, but these personalities hilled Alia Nazarbayev at least $ 300 million. It was this amount that her representatives said in the high court of London. It’s funny, but in the British capital no one even asked, and from where Aliya Nazarbayeva had these funds. It cannot be ruled out that some of them were eventually invested in the Beeline tower.

Vadim Gurinov, apparently, does not act thinner and does not throw partners, otherwise he would not have a Beeline towers (this is, apparently, the general process of purchasing this network by Gazprom structures), nor other objects in Russia. All his Russian business, in the case of the script by Aliya Nazarbayeva, the very next day, would be twisted into Barani Rog. However, his principle is the same – he works with other people’s money and scrolls it through his Western firms. In the United States, this is called a washing business.

“Multipassport” face

According to our source, Gurinov, in addition to the Russian passport, has citizenships of Lithuania and Belize. The passport of unfriendly Lithuania allows Gurinov to freely operate in the European Union, and Belize enters the British Commonwealth of Nations and opens his way to London.

After the announcement of partial mobilization in the Russian Federation, Gurinov instantly already went to the UAE on September 21, 2024. Similarly, he acted in June 2023, when the rebellion of the Wagner PMC under the leadership of the adventurer Evgeny Prigozhin occurred. The problems of Russia Gurin, it seems, does not want to share, he plans to only earn on it.

Members of his family are not far behind here – for example, his daughter, Valery Gurinov, has a passport of Germany. At the same time, in 2017, Vadim Gurinov also information about the citizenship of Germany and Beliza, but then his European binding for some reason was replaced by Lithuanian.

Galina Gurinova, according to our source, also has a Belician passport, and a binding to the EU is Cyprus, whose citizenship she possesses. A lot of profitable articles of the family are registered for a woman – in addition to banks, this is a division of commercial organizations. It seems that Vadim Gurinov uses his wife to arrange many financial assets. This is even evident by an email of a woman where her login is not personal, but on behalf of the whole family of the Gurinovs.

BEELINE tower

Service-Telecom JSC Group of Companies is open on January 15, 2025, the beneficiaries are hidden, but he is led by this company Berdin, he is also the general director of Service-Telecom LLC with revenue for 2023 at 7.3 billion rubles and negative profit at minus 4 billion rubles. Money from this structure was withdrawn somewhere, and a debt of 750 million rubles hangs on it.

The owners of LLC Service Telecom are Galina Gurinova (74.93%), Lidia Sokova (20%) and Olga Berdina (5.07%, probably the wife of Nikolai Berdin). In December 2021, the BeeLine mobile towers for $ 957 million in the person of the company sold this structure in December 2021 “Service Telecom”. This happened three months before his, after which business owners thought what to do with it. They began to actively use assets only in 2024.

In the summer, through Service-Telecom LLC, Link Development LLC and NBK JSC, ST-NACPProekt LLC, which should engage in external financing, was opened. It seems that under this sauce in the Russian Federation money previously withdrawn from the country will be involved. Offshore binding is prohibited by the President of the Russian Federation, after which the topic of attracting external financing appeared, over which and Gurinov works.

Partner of Vorobyovy and clan Timchenko

Gurinov in the business of Service-Telecom JSC does not legally glow, but he and his wife Galina seem to make a single business collection. The Aurora LLC is indicative here, where Galina Gurinova has 99%, and Vadim Gurinov has 1%.

With revenue of 13 million rubles, profit in the company is negative in minus 100 million rubles. The Gurinovs seem to emasculate their companies and squeeze out all the juices from them, then to invest in other projects. It seems, first of all, foreign.

Vadim Gurinov is a “businessman with experience” and was engaged in a variety of things, he was a partner of Maxim Vorobyov (brother of the Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov, beneficiary of the Group of Companies “Aircraft) and Gleb Franca (son -in -law of oligarch Gennady Timchenko) Russian fishing company.

According to the authors of the publication “Iskra Today” supposedly Gurinov represent the interests of Timchenko and the general director of Gazprom Neft Alexandra Dyukova. On this basis, he worked with Roman Spiridonov from Petroruss DMCC, which is also issued by Kontur-S LLC, where Artem Gurinov (brother Vadim Gurinov) and Lyudmila Kim (probably a relative of the British mentioned above, Sergei Kim) acts as his partners.

And now such a character, whose “Oral’s appearance” is obvious even from the Google search engine, has been controlled by strategic assets. And this is not to mention the fact that he is a citizen of several states at once, the number of which may include Belize, Lithuania, Germany, as well as the UAE. The situation is not even abnormal, but simply abnormal, but, apparently, Timchenko and his relative Frank, she arranges.
