The Moscow Arbitration Court recognized Vitaly Chernomyrdin's record debt of 17.7 billion rubles. To whom and for what does the son of former Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin owe? And what happens if he cannot pay the creditor? Nikolai Dolgopolov talks about this.

The court included Vitaly Chernomyrdin's debt to the Severstal company in the register of creditors - approximately 18 billion rubles. The amount began to form in the early 2000s, when Mr. Chernomyrdin was the main owner of the Yakovlevsky mine in the Belgorod region. This enterprise is famous for extracting ore with an iron content of more than 60%, so it does not need to be enriched, but can be immediately used for steel production.

In 2013, the mine took out a loan from Gazprombank. Vitaly Chernomyrdin himself acted as guarantor for it, but it seems he underestimated the risks. The borrower did not fulfill the obligation, and the debts were bought by the structures of Alexei Mordashov.

At that time, the debt to Gazprombank amounted to 12 billion rubles, they bought it for 6 billion rubles, and today with interest it is almost 18 billion, says Anastasia Mishanina, head of the external communications department of Severstal: “The investor, frankly speaking, is at the wrong time took out a loan in dollars, and the asset ended up in a serious debt hole. When we bought out debt obligations, we did so, naturally, at a discount. Enough already long time"Severstal representatives manage the asset in accordance with the law."

Vitaly Chernomyrdin is the son of former Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin. Born in 1962 in the city of Orsk, Orenburg region, he graduated from the Moscow Institute of Petrochemical and Gas Industry. Gubkin, ran for deputy of the regional council of the region, but was not elected. Owns shares in several enterprises. The businessman was engaged in agriculture, processing of non-ferrous metals and, according to some sources, widely used his high-profile surname to obtain loans.

Banks indeed often take into account the presence of high-ranking relatives of borrowers when making decisions, said Igor Mintusov, chairman of the board of directors of the PR company Niccolo-M: “Guarantees are given under names that have a specific administrative resource behind them, for example, if a relative of the borrower heads federal agency or ministry. Accordingly, this position in the table of ranks makes it immediately clear to professionals that this person can make certain kinds of decisions related to the distribution of certain resources or financial flows.”

Billions of dollars in claims against Vitaly Chernomyrdin were put forward against the background of his bankruptcy proceedings as individual. But, judging by the court materials, his property is estimated at only 305 million rubles: an elite apartment in the south-west of Moscow and a vintage car - a 1937 Cadillac - are mentioned.

All this can be sold and the funds distributed among creditors, explains the partner law firm“Danilov and Conradi” Roman Serb-Serbin. Moreover, expensive real estate can be confiscated, even if it is the only one, the expert notes: “As they say general rule, foreclosure on the only housing is impossible, but now a bill is being widely discussed that would allow it on the only expensive housing. After all, sometimes it happens that a citizen declares that he has only one such asset, but it turns out that we are talking about a huge palace on Rublyovka. It is possible that this bill will be adopted in the near future, and then such real estate will have to be sold. Most of In this case, the proceeds will be used to pay off debts to creditors. With the remaining money it will be possible to buy an apartment, so to speak, to satisfy all personal necessary needs.”

But another option is also possible - the court may recognize Vitaly Chernomyrdin as a bona fide debtor, that is, rule that the borrower did not fulfill his obligations due to objective circumstances, due to the financial crisis, for example. Then they will forgive him everything, and look for 18 billion rubles. you won't have to.

Now a financial manager is working to ensure the repayment of debt in the case of Vitaly Chernomyrdin - his task is to find additional assets for settlements with creditors. A court hearing on his report is scheduled for April this year.

Reni, the westernmost of the Ukrainian ports, is located on the Danube, 130 km above the mouth. IN Soviet times life was in full swing here. By railway oil and ore from the republics of the USSR arrived from the east, pickled tomatoes went east along the Danube from Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Hungary, women's shoes and furniture “walls”. With the collapse of the USSR, the port lost its importance. In 2000, cargo turnover was only 10% of the level of the 1980s. The first signs of recovery appeared in 2002. The access railway tracks were lengthened, and pumping equipment appeared on the shore of the backwater (an area separated from the Danube). liquefied gas to tankers. The port is under the control of the United Oil and Gas Company, its general director is Andrei Chernomyrdin, whose father had by that time received the post of Russian Ambassador to Ukraine.

By the time Chernomyrdin moved to Kyiv, his family business had grown into an entire empire. Her main asset was her share in Stroytransgaz, Gazprom’s contractor for the construction of gas pipelines. Vitaly and Andrey Chernomyrdin owned about 12% of the company. Stroytransgaz, in turn, was a major shareholder of Gazprom with a share of 6.2%. Vitaly Chernomyrdin worked as the first vice-president of Stroytransgaz, and his younger brother Andrey was involved in liquefied gas. He traveled around the regions, negotiating the construction of gas filling stations. The Chernomyrdins also took up the mining industry: the Yakovlevsky mine in the Belgorod region was acquired. However, times have changed. Alexey Miller started a big purge at Gazprom. Stroytransgaz lost lion's share orders from Gazprom and, in order to save his business, was forced to give up shares in the gas monopoly, and at the same time get rid of some shareholders. Chernomyrdin’s children also sold their shares to Gazprom structures. The brothers’ “compensation” amounted to about $60 million. Then, in 2002, Ukraine, where Viktor Chernomyrdin became ambassador, seemed like a safe haven.

Five years have passed. What are the progress? The new terminal in Reni is idle: the Danube has become shallow. “A changeable river,” sighs Viktor Zorin, deputy director of the port of Reni. The depth of the backwater where the port is now located is only 1.5 m; a gas carrier ship will not enter here. Construction is currently underway on five barges for transporting liquefied gas, the shallow draft of which will allow operation in the port. In addition to the terminal in Reni, the Chernomyrdins tried to engage in gas sales in Ukraine. The United Oil and Gas Company of Ukraine, where Andrei Chernomyrdin was the president, even received a license to sell gas to industrial consumers at an unregulated tariff. Deliveries were planned in volumes of up to 360 million cubic meters. m per year ($2.6 billion). The story hit the media and a scandal broke out. The Chernomyrdins failed to expand on the Ukrainian gas market. “If they have any business, it is very small. At least I haven’t heard anything about him,” says Dmitry Mosienko, editor-in-chief of the Ukrainian industry magazine OilMarket. Andrei and Viktor Chernomyrdin themselves refused to talk to Forbes.

The Chernomyrdins’ business decreased in volume not only in Ukraine. In 2004, a stake in the Gazenergoset company was sold to Gazprom (it collects assets related to the supply of liquefied gas, the turnover in 2005 was about $200 million). The Chernomyrdins removed themselves from management of the Yakovlevsky mine in the Belgorod region. Its work is now controlled by the managers of Vadim Novinsky (a Russian entrepreneur who owns several mining and processing plants and factories in Ukraine). However, there is an area where their business is growing.

Since 2004. The Chernomyrdins are actively investing in Agriculture. The interests of the family (Vitaly is involved in projects) are concentrated in the Orenburg region. total area land - about 50,000 hectares. A large pig farm was built for $7 million; a dairy complex is being built in the Saraktash region for more than $10 million.

It was here, in the village of Cherny Otrog, Saraktash district, that Viktor Chernomyrdin was born. Soon after the first enterprise was purchased here, Chernomyrdin Sr., together with his son Vitaly, visited the local “Cossack circle”. He scolded his former fellow villagers for drunkenness, and they elected Vitaly as a comrade (deputy) of the ataman. Chernomyrdin is generally a prominent figure in the region. He accompanied First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev here in October. In the summer of 2007, Viktor Chernomyrdin brought the relics of Apostle Andrew the First-Called to Orenburg from Ukraine. In 2003, he organized the visit of the French writer Maurice Druon, whose father was born in Orenburg. Need I say that Governor Alexey Chernyshov often visits the Chernomyrdin enterprises in the region?
