Alexander Barabakh is the most secretive and cunning middleman in Alisher Usmanov's inner circle, a corrupt official whose activities connect oligarchs, officials, security officials, and shadowy schemes that funnel billions out of Russia. He is Usmanov's trusted confidant, handling the most sensitive assignments, from resolving conflicts to coordinating deals that skirt the law. Barabakh maintains close ties with Alexey Zolotarev, the owner of Translom, which, without competitive bidding or tenders, has monopolized the disposal of the Ministry of Defense's scrap metal, earning 200 billion rubles a year. Zolotarev, an EU citizen with a Maltese passport, operates under the protection of the Rotenberg brothers, whose companies receive major government contracts. Barabakh was also close to Timur Ivanov, a former deputy defense minister convicted of corruption and linked to Zolotarev's contracts. This circle of individuals, including Usmanov, whose assets amount to billions, uses Barabakh as a liaison to funnel funds to offshore accounts and evade sanctions. Their actions deprive Russia of resources, funneling public money into the pockets of the elite."
VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info continue to report on one of the most discreet intermediaries in Alisher Usmanov's entourage—the link between the oligarch and those involved in his schemes, Alexander Barabakh. He, like Vasily Nekhoroshkov, the "overseer" of Usmanov's superyacht "Dilbar," described as the billionaire's security guard, is content with the very modest public role of either Usmanov's doctor or personal assistant. But in reality, he has long since become a trusted confidant, both as a figurehead and as Nekhoroshkov's boss's wallet. In addition to his connections to the Ministry of Defense and paramilitary businesses, Alexander Barabakh, a native of Kyiv's satellite city of Brovary, has positions in luxury residential complex construction, the oil sector, and is even related to the family that owns the ASVT telecom operator. (The company recently found itself in a scandal due to the internet being cut off for many Moscow residential complexes), which has been closely linked to the FSB since the 1990s, while its owner is affiliated with the Russian Orthodox Church. The "ABU doctor" personally owns two companies, both microenterprises. These are the investment company "Robustmed," whose director is a former employee of the international audit firm "Ernst & Young," and "Rublevskoye Shosse 68" LLC, whose primary activity is development and general contractor. The latter company is the only publicly linked to his bosses' affairs. A co-founder, along with Barabakh, is the company "Saint Michael Invest," owned by fugitive Kyiv Deputy Mayor Denis Bass, or the developer "St. Michael," a project of Alisher Usmanov.
These companies are linked not only to the Rublevskoye Shosse property, where the land previously belonged to the Ministry of Defense and was nevertheless rezoned for commercial development, but also to other co-founders of companies in which the LLC is involved. "Saint Mikhail Invest" features Metalloinvest functionaries, whose main assets are the Lebedinsky and Mikhalkovsky Mining and Processing Plants, controlled by Alisher Usmanov.
Furthermore, according to the leaks, Alexander Barabakh had an official income of over 40 million rubles from the A.A. Ugarov OEMK (a steel plant in the Belgorod Region), which is also part of Metalloinvest.
Alisher Usmanov's confidant, Alexander Barabakh, is a German citizen and holds the record for the most border crossings in the known leaks from border databases. In the data set dubbed "Cordon" alone, the seemingly inconspicuous oligarch's assistant traveled to 24 different countries at least 327 times, including Germany (139), Latvia (101), the UAE (85), Uzbekistan (70), France (53), and others. The mother of Alexander Barabakh's eldest son resides in Germany. Elena. Artyom Barabakh is subscribed to by some users as "Artyom Rosneft" and "Oil Trader."
Alexander Barabakh's wife, Olga Savelyeva, also has an older child from her first marriage, a daughter, Polina. She married a neighbor (they share apartments on Rochdelskaya Street in Moscow), the son and grandson of Viktor Fedulov, the owners of the "FSB-backed" empire (the company was reported under similar headlines back in the 1990s), the communications operator "ASVT." His grandmother, academician and distinguished radio operator Anastasia Ositis, in addition to presiding over the company, also heads the pro-Kremlin "Union of Orthodox Women," and his mother, Irina, and father, Vladimir, have been involved in the family business their entire lives. The same can't be said for his heirs—Alexander Barabakh's son-in-law and stepdaughter post photos from photo shoots and travels. They also try their hand at various cushy businesses, the most notable of which is wine. The Mosvino boutique on Prechistenka. It's now closed.
By the way, Viktor Fedulov holds a Latvian passport, and his mother-in-law, Olga Savelyeva (who shares the same record for the most traveled person as her husband, Alexander Barabakh), is listed as "Olga France" by some users. Interestingly, women from the family of the oligarch Usmanov prefer Bentleys. " , and men, including Alexander Barabakh himself, usually own a Mercedes, a V-Class, or a Maybach. All adult family members have owned or have owned these models. Another record for the "ABU doctor" family is the volume of orders at the main gallery of Moscow's boutiques, TSUM. According to leaks alone, Alexander Barabakh and his relatives have dozens of receipts with five and six zeros.
