FSB General Tokarev has a large family. His matchmaker is retired FSO lieutenant colonel Yuri Bolotov (pictured), a companion of General Alexander Korzhakov in the “Association of Veterans and Employees of the Presidential Security Service.” Previously, Bolotov Sr.’s business was associated with the Informenergo company, which operated under RAO UES. The lieutenant colonel has a daughter, Olga Bolotova, and a son, Andrei Bolotov, the husband of Transneft’s daughter Maya Bolotova (Tokareva) and friend of Stanislav Chemezov, son of Sergei Chemezov, head of Russian Technologies, KGB foreign intelligence officer.
The list of assets of Bolotov Jr. will be discussed in one of the following articles. For now, it’s worth saying that this businessman’s property was replenished from the budgets entrusted to Nikolai Tokarev, and therefore a significant part of the business is registered to Maya Bolotova.
The daughter of the head of Transneft is the founder of PharmECO LLC. Bolotaya’s current partners in the company are the Cyprus offshore company Blackwood International Holdings Limited and PTF Baltic LLC; previously they owned shares in the LLC Mikhail Voevodin, Sergei Dokuchaev and Mikhail Babiy.
Mikhail Voevodin (pictured), by decision of Sergei Chemezov, was appointed director of VSMPO-AVISMA, the world's largest titanium producer, owned by Russian Technologies. LLC PTF Baltic, according to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, was associated with the structures of Chemezov Sr. Under director Voevodina, the VSMPO-AVISMA corporation at an inflated price bought from PTF Baltik a mining complex that has a license to develop a titanium deposit in the Tambov region.
Maya Bolotova, through PharmECO LLC, owns Irwin 2 LLC, the largest pharmaceutical concern, which market participants consider close to Russian Technologies. To clear the market of Irwin-2 competitors, criminal cases were initiated. Chemezov and Tokarev, using connections with the FSB and one of the deputy prime ministers, blackmailed the Minister of Health Tatyana Golikova. Through this blackmail, they managed to force the previously resisting ministry to give government contracts to Irvin-2 LLC for a total of 8 billion 767 million rubles.
The mechanism of Maya Bolotova’s corruption business can be traced through the competition for the purchase of insulin. As the Federal Antimonopoly Service has established, the competitor of Irwin-2 represented by the company R-Pharm Alexey Repik actually gave up the fight - the price reduction was 1%. Just seven days after winning the auction, Irwin-2 entered into an agreement with R-Pharm for the supply of the same medicine, acting as a corrupt “layer” between the customer and the real supplier. As a result, Maya Bolotova’s PharmECO LLC became one of those drug distributors whose collusion, according to the Federal Antimonopoly Service, caused the state damage of 3 billion rubles.
The Irwin-2 holding is registered in the Moscow region, being closely connected with the personal commercial interests of the governor Boris Gromov. In the Volokolamsk district of the Moscow region, the concern of the daughter of the head of Transneft should launch the Pharmpolis project - a pharmaceutical cluster financed from the budget, led by Russian Technologies and the Ministry of Industry and Science of the region. The project is managed by the Medpharmtechnology company. Among its founders is the same Stanislav Chemezov, the companion of the murdered Shabtai Kalmanovich Igor Rudinsky, ex-head of Roszdravnadzor Nikolay Yurgel, Victor Aleshichev, Irina Rys and Sergey Dokuchaev - Maya Bolotova’s partner in PharmECO LLC.
In future issues of this study, Ruspres News Agency will consider the joint business of the Tokarev-Bolotov, Chemezov and Artyakov families (the clan of the governor of the Samara region), business biographies of the especially active Bolotov-Tokarevs and the scheme of large-scale theft from the Transneft budget.
Transneft is cutting gasoline
Transneft has repeatedly complained that due to the theft of oil from its pipeline, it annually loses about 0.01% of the total volume pumped. The monopoly estimates the amount of damage at tens of millions of dollars. But the company never disclosed losses from fraud with oil products. Vedomosti obtained the results of an internal audit of the monopoly’s specialized subsidiary, Transnefteprodukt. [RUSPRES: President of the TNP Corporation - Vladimir Shimanovich (pictured); Board of Directors - Anatoly Demin, Sergey Hardykin, Lyubov Karmanova, Igor Katsal, Svetlana Suvorova, Alexey Sapsay; board - Vladimir Nazarov, Alexander Pospelov, Viktor Churikov, Alexander Zlatnikov, Anatoly Averkin]. The authenticity of the documents was confirmed by three sources close to Transneft. The almost complete absence of a system for accounting and monitoring the movement of fuel makes it easy to steal hundreds of tons of petroleum products from the pipe, it follows from the documents. Audit challenges
The inspection of consumer goods took place in 2010. There was no order from above for the audit, says one of Vedomosti’s sources; the initiative was taken by the audit service of the monopoly itself. Nine subsidiaries were to be inspected: Mostransnefteproduct, Balttransnefteproduct (including its subsidiary Balttransservice), Uraltransnefteprodukt, Sredne-Volzhsky Transnefteprodukt, Petersburgtransnefteprodukt, Sibtransnefteprodukt, Ryazantransnefteprodukt and Yugo -Zapad transoil product."
In September 2010, the audit results were presented to Transneft President Nikolai Tokarev: in total, auditors identified violations amounting to 4.4 billion rubles, sources say. For the first five companies, the total amount of violations amounted to 3.5 billion rubles, as follows from the documents available to Vedomosti.
The figure is irrelevant, says one of the sources: the auditors were unable to gain access to all the documents, so the audit cannot be considered complete. For example, at Petersburgtransnefteprodukt all documents on the movement of fuel were destroyed shortly before the inspection due to “uselessness”. It was this wording that was included in the single act of destruction of papers presented to the auditors by company representatives, the source says. “And at Uraltransnefteprodukt there was no one to demand documents from anyone - the general director submitted his resignation on the day the commission arrived,” he says. None of Vedomosti’s interlocutors was able to estimate the volume of “lost” violations.
How to steal a billion
Of the identified violations, the largest are in operations with petroleum products (more than 1 billion rubles). The basis of most frauds is the formation of unaccounted for surplus fuel, sources say. This is not difficult to do: at all consumer goods enterprises there is practically no automated system for monitoring and accounting for the movement of petroleum products. “If there is no accurate data on how much fuel entered the system and how much went out, then it is impossible to identify how much was stolen,” explains one of Vedomosti’s interlocutors.
In most cases, measurements are made the old fashioned way, he says: a consumer goods company employee climbs onto the tank, lowers a tape measure inside and determines by eye how many centimeters the tank is filled. And then, based on standard density and temperature indicators, it calculates how much fuel is in the tank. “The error of such calculations is colossal! After all, every millimeter is about 5000 tons of petroleum product!” - Vedomosti's interlocutor complains.
Based on such clumsy calculations, plant employees often underestimate the amount of fuel remaining in the system, and write off fictitious shortages as leaking valves, the source says. This was the case, for example, at Uraltransnefteprodukt, where in 2009 5,458 tons of petroleum products worth 4.7 million rubles were written off, it follows from the documents. When checking Balttransnefteprodukt, auditors identified a shortage of 9,950 tons in the amount of 165.2 million rubles. According to employees, the surplus was hidden on the direct orders of TNP management, auditors write. The TNP representative does not comment on this.
Another scheme is to overestimate the actual density of the petroleum product, which allows recipients to underfill fuel. The auditors found that in this way Mostransnefteprodukt undersupplied 231.6 tons of jet fuel to the Sheremetyevo refueling complex only in the third quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, as follows from the report.
Enterprises have modern accounting systems, says Vedomosti’s interlocutor, but they are often ignored. For example, when checking the Sredne-Volzhsky TNP, it turned out that equipment worth 85.9 million rubles. is not used by the enterprise, and accounting is kept on the basis of data from the supplier - TAIF-NK Refinery (owner - Tatneft). When comparing the data, it was discovered that in just one year (from June 2009 to June 2010) 8,900 tons of unaccounted fuel worth 134.4 million rubles were pumped from the refinery, the auditors’ report says. This is 7.5% of the total volume of petroleum products in the Sredne-Volzhsky TNP system at the time of the inspection, the auditors note. True, the inventories carried out by the subsidiary itself did not record any excess fuel in the pipe. “It’s not difficult to drain unaccounted for fuel,” says one of Vedomosti’s sources. “At the Almetyevsk GPS station there is a branch that is not equipped with metering equipment and 12 technological breaks in the branches to the oil depots.”
Classified violations
Tokarev demanded that official investigations be conducted, those responsible be punished, compensation for damages, and even that materials be sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to initiate criminal cases, it follows from the resolutions on the documents. “We need to bring the OJSC into an adequate state,” Tokarev wrote to TNP President Vladimir Shimanovich. “If you don’t do it yourself, we will do it.”
Transneft auditors were supposed to monitor the elimination of violations. But the work proceeded with difficulty, says one of Vedomosti’s sources. “An example of one of the violations is about 0.5 million rubles. was transferred for the services of an organization whose general director was listed in the local madhouse. There is a scheme with a shell company. TNP report: this violation cannot be eliminated,” he says. A month later, all inspection documents were confiscated and classified by the Transneft security service, and the audit service was abolished. The Transneft representative does not comment on the reasons for the incident, but notes that work is underway to eliminate violations in consumer goods.
Violations at a construction site
The second largest block of violations is construction contracts (RUB 789.7 million). There are many ways to make money here, says one of Vedomosti’s interlocutors: estimates, costs and volume of work performed are inflated. Chairman of the Management Board, President of Transneft PJSC

Today, in relation to the management of Transneft, there is a system of mutual responsibility known as “Manus manum lavat” (Latin - “Hand washes hand”), the report notes.
The editors have obtained part of a report compiled by a number of authoritative experts, addressed to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and dedicated to the activities of the management of the Transneft company, where the experts examine in detail the “gray” schemes in which the state-owned company is now involved, as well as sensational details of the personal enrichment of the management state-owned companies.
The report consists of 15 volumes, each volume contains a description of schemes that make it possible to withdraw assets from a company and carry out fraudulent activities aimed at stealing funds from Russian oil companies. The editors had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the details of one of the investigations related to the receipt of corruption rents during the transshipment of oil through Transneft ports at inflated tariffs. This investigation is entitled: “Manus manum lavat” (Latin - Hand washes hand).
According to experts, Transneft President Tokarev, together with entrepreneur Ziyavudin Magomedov, as well as Transneft Vice President Alexey Sapsai, organized a scheme based on inflated tariffs for loading and pumping oil products through Transneft oil pipelines. The scheme is replete with companies - gaskets, as well as the names of the performers, through which the theft of funds from Russian oil workers is directly carried out, among them: Transneft-Terminal LLC (A.V. Zelenko), Transneft-Terminal JSC (M.M. Melnik) , Transneft-Service LLC and Transneft-Service JSC (S.G. Kireev). These companies are the only intermediaries for transshipment of petroleum products through Transneft ports, and it is with these companies that JSC Chernomorsktransneft and JSC Sea Port Service enter into contracts.
Experts believe that the main executor of this scheme is the vice-president of Transneft, Alexey Sapsai, who previously headed the ESPO Central Unitary Enterprise at Transneft, which was involved in the construction of the Eastern Siberia - Pacific Ocean pipeline. The project and activities of the ESPO Center were audited by the Accounts Chamber, which revealed that the cost of work on the ESPO project was unreasonably inflated, the tenders for the selection of contractors were carried out with violations, documentation was illegally destroyed, and some acts were falsified by the contractors. As a result, the volume of non-targeted expenses of the state monopoly during the construction of the Eastern Siberia - Pacific Ocean pipeline amounted to about $4 billion. It is not surprising that Alexey Sapsay became the curator of the topic of inflating tariffs for loading and pumping petroleum products, experts note.
Today, the above companies independently set tariffs that significantly exceed FAS rates. As a result, oil companies wishing to pump their oil through the monopolist’s ports overpay in favor of recipients registered offshore. Experts estimate the volume of illegal business at tens of billions of rubles. For example, in just one episode, the offshore companies of Tokarev, Magomedov and Sapsay earned 500 million rubles. We sent requests to the FAS press service and to the reception office of the head of the department, Igor Artemyev, with a request to comment on this situation, but both requests remained unanswered.
The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs did not achieve much results either. Initially, the GUEBiPK Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia sent a number of requests to Transneft with the intention of checking information about the schemes in which the state-owned company was involved. However, according to an employee of the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, who wished to remain anonymous, an informal order was received from the head of the anti-corruption agency Andrei Kurnosenko to stop the inspection. It is possible that Kurnosenko’s reluctance to bring the investigation to court was motivated by the fact that among Nikolai Tokarev’s personal patrons is the former Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation - now Vice President for Security of Transneft Vladimir Rushailo, whom the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Vladimir Kolokoltsev simply calls “dad” . As a result, the case today lies as a dead weight in the 8th department of Directorate “T” of the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
An objective examination of the materials is also hampered by the powerful resources of security agencies controlled by Ziyavudin Magomedov, consisting of former employees of the Central Directorate for Organized Crime Control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, who have the capabilities of illegal wiretapping, covert surveillance and force support. There is active pressure and interference in the process of objective consideration of materials, with the aim of not bringing the perpetrators to justice. As a result, many witnesses refuse to testify, fearing for their lives and health.
The report notes that, most likely, such strong opposition is caused by the fact that these companies are not only involved in a scheme to inflate tariffs, but are also part of a large-scale system of the “shadow market” of oil, in which the volumes of transported oil are deliberately inflated contrary to the Ministry of Energy quotas. As is known, the Ministry of Energy distributes volumes among companies in areas proportional to submitted applications, and pumping schedules for near and far abroad are formed separately. As a result, companies sometimes receive export destinations that they cannot use. Accordingly, there is also a reverse process - when the Ministry of Energy gives companies fewer quotas for exporting oil abroad than they need. In both cases, it is impossible to do without Transneft gasket companies. It is also known that oil production complexes often produce and process much more oil and petroleum products than according to official reports. This unaccounted for oil is then pumped into Transneft pipes and shipped abroad. In this case, this oil is distilled illegally, and, of course, no one pays any taxes on it.
It was corruption in the distribution of quotas for oil supplies that became the reason for the scandal, because of which Deputy Minister of Energy Pavel Fedorov resigned back in 2013. With his resignation, the scandal was hushed up. And now, a new chain has appeared, which led to the companies of the Transneft management, whose activities are described in the report.
Today, in relation to the management of Transneft, there is a system of mutual responsibility known as “Manus manum lavat” (Latin - “Hand washes hand”), the report notes. The lack of desire on the part of the FAS to check inflated tariffs and the slowdown of the case in the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia indicate that the Transneft octopus has extended its influence to controllers, regulators and law enforcement officers. Experts note that “opacity and the lack of real responsibility of management for performance results have long become more than a problem,” according to Andrei Kolganov, head of the laboratory of market economics at the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University, “this is a matter of political will on the part of management to establish a normal system of management and control.”
