According to the “Center for Journalistic Investigations”, the Kherson collaborator Eduard Repilevsky has fallen on “hard times”: the influential Russian latifundist, former aggressor’s minister of agriculture Alexander Tkachev “laid his eye” on the robbed agrarian enterprises of the region.
Since Repilevsky did not want to share the loot, the invaders “removed” him from the criminal role of “minister of agriculture and fisheries of the region” and “opened a criminal case”, after which the collaborator abruptly decided to “improve mental health” in Russia.
Repilevsky, among other things, “noted himself” by organizing the looting of the state enterprise “Experimental Farm” “Kakhovske” and a branch of the American company “Cargill”, as well as the enterprise “Askaniyske”. Repilevsky also criminally participated in the transfer of grain and agricultural machinery to the occupied Crimea from the warehouses of Dmitrovka of Zelenopodska community and of Kakhovka.
The collaborator criminally “registered” his “company “Agrobusiness” in the occupiers’ “registries” in Krasnoperekopsk in May 2022 and further criminally agitated the Kherson agrarians “to file documents with the tax service and banks of Crimea”, simultaneously seizing 120 land plots and six agricultural companies.
On the other hand, the mentioned latifundist Tkachev in 2022 announced the “acquisition” of the Crimean “agro-industrial holding” “Druzhba Narodov” (“Friendship of Peoples”), after which he became a character on the sanctions lists of the European Union, Ukraine and a number of other countries.
Before the occupation, “Druzhba Narodov” was part of the Ukrainian holding “Myronivsky Khleboprodukt” owned by Yuri Kosyuk, and as the media wrote, Crimean “holding” was allegedly “sold” in 2017 to the Moscow “Optima-Finance”, the beneficiary of which was Boris Vaninsky, who previously worked in aggressor’s “Gazprom” and “Zarubezhneft”.
