The shagreen skin of the Family continues to shrivel.
The shagreen skin of the Family continues to shrivel.
The NAME of the Swiss firm "Merkata Trading and Engineering
With. And. "And a name of its president Victor Stolpovskih in the last
Time appears almost in all scandalous publications about
Corruption in the Kremlin.
In "Korrere della sulphur", for example, affirmed, what exactly
On bills "Merkata Trading" other Swiss firm
"Mabetex", headed by Mr. Pakolli, translated the huge
The sums which then arrived on credit cards
The president of Russia and its close relatives. And Century
Stolpovsky one time was the leading expert of "Mabetex".
Affirmed also, that V.Stolpovskih is in the centre of all
The big purchases of a family of Yeltsins and it "a voice in a family at all
It is less, than at R.Abramovich ".
The first interview in connection with all these scandals of Century
The Stolpovsky has agreed to give "AiF".
Our conversation passed in the Moscow representation
"Merkata Trading", located nearby to the Kremlin.
Smart office in which furnish prevail gold and dark
The tone, giving out a hand of known artist Ili Glazunov.
- You name the cashier of the Family...
- "Cashier", "purse" - these conversations call me only
Smile. By the way, R.Abramovich, which as write newspapers, too
"Purse" and "cashier", I and in eyes never saw. I, between
Other, I prefer to communicate with more solid people.
- These people casually not Boris Yeltsin and Tatyana Dyachenko?
- Boris Nikolaevich has shaken hands once with me - on June, 12th on
Solemn reception on the occasion of Independence Day of Russia in
The big Kremlin palace which we have restored. It in
This day accepted our job and has warmly thanked me.
Any conversations with B.Eltsinym before, after at me not
Was.
Tatyana Dyachenko I saw twice. First time - on
Celebrating of silver wedding of A.Korzhakov. Second time - in
"п п?я п п?п п?-2". "Merkata Trading" was engaged in working out
The presidential plane and placing of orders for it
Manufacturing. When it was ready, Tatyana Borisovna with Yumashev
Came it to look. I am more from it did not see.
- And as about newspaper statements, that written down on yours
Name the smart house on a grief Nikolinoj actually
T.Djachenko belongs? That you have bought for it a private residence in
Austria in place Garmish-Partenkirhen?
- Lies. On a grief Nikolinoj I really have a house.
My house! Still we build there a building, under office of our firm.
Tatyana Dyachenko has no relation to these buildings. At
Me because of these newspaper articles even quarrels with the wife happen
(Laughs). She speaks: "I leave, and you here, probably,
Tatyana you result ".
- But say, that Tatyana Borisovnu time and again on Nikolinoj
Grief near your house saw.
- Perhaps, it to my neighbours came - to Mikhalkov,
To Bashmet or to someone. I do not know. And can, my wife on it
It is similar. By the way, here a photo of the wife. It is similar to Tatyana
Borisovnu?
- I something do not notice any similarity.
- Anyway Dyachenko on a visit to me did not come.
To what houses in Austria I have no relation. When in this
To the country I happen, I stop exclusively in hotel.
- And why you in court will not submit on newspapers, which, as you
Speak, say lies in your address? Would protect the name.
- There is no time for it. There are more important things. And my name - in
My affairs. The big Kremlin palace, which I
Has restored, not one generation will admire.
- The Italian newspaper asserts, that money, which head
"Mabetex" Bexhet Pakolli translated to the Geneva bills of yours
Firms, intended to B.Yeltsin and his daughters on the personal
Expenses.
- (Laughs.) it would be quite good, if Pakolli has translated mine
To firm any money. Pakolli - my debtor. It for me the enemy
N 1. I, to tell the truth, first sinned, what is it it all
Scandals against me initiates. During our job in
"Mabetex" he always deceived me. In the contract promised
To pay one sum, and then really paid in 10 times
It is less. On December, 7th, 1994 I have torn with it all relations and
Has created the firm "Merkata Trading". And to all advised never
With it not to communicate. "Mabetex" is my competitor. Firm,
From which I, figuratively speaking, always waited for a knife in a back.
- Whereas you would explain, that in scandal with
Credit cards of the president you name allies?
- And it is simple its authors, not having understood, have fallen down all names in
The general heap, and all here.
- In one of interview Mr. Pakolli has told, that money,
Which were translated to bills of your firm in Geneva,
Intended not to the president and his family, and went on payment
Stay in Budapest employees of "Mabetex". That is
The fact of remittance he all the same recognised?
- It is a full bluff. It did not translate any money to me.
Pakolli - the big talker. Once after restoration "White
At home "it was photographed from B.Eltsinym. And then on everyone
To corner told, that drinks with the president on 5 litres
Vodka. In its words never there is no truth.
- Well. But as the person knowing Pakolli, you suppose,
What could it pay bills of a family of Yeltsin?
- It very greedy. Very much. And then, I think, that if
Boris Nikolaevich has learnt, that someone translates to its bills
Any money... With character of the president... This person,
It seems to me, from Yeltsin and on a muzzle could receive.
- But as the businessman you suppose, that without the knowledge of the president
On his name and addressed to members of his family the credit are got
Cards on which money arrives...
- By means of today's technics I can print and on you
Such 10 cards and as much forms with your signature. After all
Anybody yet has not proved, what is it Yeltsin's credit cards and
Members of his family.
- As you think, Skuratov had bases to get
Criminal case concerning "Mabetex"?
- It seems to me, that with "Mabetex" it has untwisted a situation in
Especially defensive purposes.
- And from the Kremlin in connection with all these scandals to you
Any calls were?
- No, was not.
- But with Paul Borodinym you these problems for certain
Discussed? You are on friendly terms for a long time with it?
- I with Borodinym a sign from Yakutsk. Also I know it as
Exclusively decent person. It very trustful. And I
I do not exclude, that on the trustfulness he could sign
Any papers not looking. It could substitute simply.
- And why at selection of candidates on reconstruction Big
The Kremlin palace it has preferred your firm?
- We have won the tender. Have given the credit for restoration under
Concessionary interest rates - 5,8 - 5,9 % annual. Though even the Ministry of Finance gives
Credits under 8 % of the annual. Any tidbits from Borodino we
Did not receive. Yes I on other objects would earn more.
Building, for example, more profitable, than reconstruction.
But to restore BKD it it is prestigious.
- And nevertheless, if not a secret, in what figures it was measured
The sum which you have earned on reconstruction of the Kremlin?
- We of additional jobs there only on 30 mln. dollars
Have made. Free of charge.
- It that - sincere generosity?
- Money suffices me. And these means let will better go on
State social needs.
- Excuse, but only in sincere generosity I nevertheless cannot
To believe.
- Well, for refusal of this money to us promised zachest some
Taxes. But it is all officially, accurately. I do all only
Officially. And always to crying all taxes both in Russia, and for
Boundary. Last year, for example, has paid taxes to 15 million
Dollars
- I heard you be going to to stand in deputies. It
What - the original form of protection? Personally me always confuses,
That the people, which mass-media accuse of any unseemly
Acts, go not to court, and in deputies?
- The movement "Sons of Russia" I have created to all these
Newspaper fights. Also has headed it at the desire of mine
Associates, among which many known people. Such, as
I.Glazunov, former ordering VDV general Podkolzin, Century
Ispravnikov. And all newspaper publications began to appear as
Time how we have published the first political
Programs. Probably, someone sees in me potential
The political competitor. I am assured that at us will be
Strong movement. Parliamentary immunity is not for
Me. At me pure conscience.
Tatyana netreba.
