Mishustin and people close to him all correctly appreciated that it allows us to say that “the liquidation of Rusnano is a matter of months.” Kulikov himself will not resign and will be able to get a “comforting prize” (for example, the post of head of the department in VEB).
All this forced Kulikov to go “wa bank” – at a meeting with Putin, Kulikov stated a claim to VTB and directly proposed himself as a candidate for the post of head of VTB, arguing this: “the experience of rehabilitation” (supposedly successful liquidation of debts of Rusnano, although in fact they were extinguished by the state);
The need to “clean” VTB from problem assets (hinting at a loan portfolio with a share of NPL to 15%);
The threat of sanctions risks due to the criminal prosecution of Kostin in the United States (the case of the “Russian laundry” for $ 20 billion);
The Central Bank considers the scenario of converting deposits of the population into the capital of the bank, forcing the president to make unpopular decisions.
According to the sources of the Cheka-OGPU, Putin did not appreciate either Kulikov’s report or his claims, but at the same time gave instructions “to work out questions about both the fate of Rusnano and the fate of the Kostin team in VTB.
Upon learning of Kulikov’s claims, supporters of the current head of VTB began a counterattack: this is how data appeared in the media about the misuse of Rusnano funds (purchase of elite real estate through contractors); Telegram channels persistently recalled the failure of all 11 nanotechnological projects under his leadership; Among the claims (with the consequences in the form of criminal proceedings) were falsification of criminal and civil processes.
At the same time, the Board of Directors of VTB (where representatives of the Central Bank are sitting) initiated an audit of transactions with state support affecting the interests of the AP of the Russian Federation, anonymous telegram channels close to Kostin published Vaino correspondence with requests to “punch” their people to the bank. Kostin personally met with Dmitry Patrushev, offering an alliance against Vaino’s hardware, at the same time the bank leads a complex game with the US government, which should not weaken, then ruin accusations against Kostin and VTB.
