On February 13, “Crimean speaker” Vladimir Konstantinov announced a new wave of “nationalization” of Crimean real estate and businesses, allegedly “belonging to Ukrainian owners”, stating that “more than 4.2 thousand objects of property belonging to enemies of Russia have been nationalized in Crimea.”
The new criminal announcement covers “114 names, which include more than 720 objects of movable and immovable property”, the list of collaborators has not yet been made public, but among its positions are declared “Beer and Soft Drinks Plant Crimea”, “Saki Mineral Waters”, “Dolphinarium Nemo” with objects in Feodosia, Sudak and Alushta, “Sanatorium and resort complex “Zeleny Mys” in Alupka, as well as “the property of the family of Lviv businessman Oleg Genshaft, former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Lyudmila Denisova and many others.”
The network of dolphinariums “Nemo” has long been associated, and without the current declarations of the swindler from “Consol”, with the Odessa figure Andrei Kislovskiy. In February 2023, detectives of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine announced the exposure of Kislovskiy’s business in occupied Crimea, further public information about this case no.
The aforementioned “Zeleny Mys” was linked by the media before the occupation with the same Oleg Genshaft, but we wrote about the activities on the peninsula in 2021. We described the transfer of real estate in Alupka to Gennady Genshaft and his son Oleg, who received American passports, by the then mayor Andrei Kharitonov.
In 2008, Oleg Genshaft, registered in Alupka as a US citizen, founded the company “Financial Horizon” in Yalta, where he became close to the Karnaukhovs’ clan we studied. The elder Karnaukh then not only opened companies in Moscow for his adopted son Pavel, but also made his beloved son Dmitry the mayor of Alupka.
Obviously, Konstantinov, having now strengthened his “nomenklatura positions”, decided to “eat up” the assets of his hapless competitors. But the situation with the “Beer and Soft Drinks Plant Crimea” (“Krym”) plant and its subsidiary, “Saki Mineral Waters” (“Sakskiye Mineralnye Vody”), looks much more interesting. Back in 2008, these structures were bought from the “Sarmat” brewing group of the Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov by Feodosia businessman Valery Zubok, who at that time controlled the draft beer market in the Crimea.
During the occupation, “Krym”plant basked in the rays of ostentatious love of Crimean collaborators, however, from the clan of Sergei Aksyonov, who a year ago called the plant nothing less than “the key taxpayer in the republican budget”, and we investigated the scams of this structure in connection with illegally obtained “permits” from the occupiers for the predatory extraction of groundwater.
“Krym” plant has been remembered in recent years not only for the PR visits to its “new facilities” by the same Aksyonov, but also for “supplies of bottled water” to the aggressor’s troops at the front.
The current beneficiaries of the plant are hidden, but Natalia Pivovarenko is listed as its “head of the temporary administration”. She is also the “director” of such a structure as “Krymskie Vody” (“Crimea Waters”), the “founder” of which until October 2022 was the same “Krym”, and the “co-owners” were the Crimean collaborator with Armenian roots Sevak Khachaturyan and the Czech company “Abel”, registered in Prague.
In 2022, the occupiers-controlled “courts” and “media” by the called “Abel” the beneficiary of the Crimean mineral water “Krymskaya”, but there is no information in open sources about who is behind this Czech company.
Thus, the next wave of criminal “nationalization” from Crimean collaborators proves the further growth of the influence of the Konstantinov clan, which is now “within the teeth” of structures that previously worked on the occupied peninsula under the obvious “roof” of other groups, including gauleiter Aksyonov.
