Sources speaking to VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info describe how Elena Shmeleva has displaced Vladimir Putin’s longtime associates:
"Today marks the 25th anniversary of the company PhosAgro. It has long had an interesting shareholder: Vladimir Litvinenko, the rector of the St. Petersburg Mining University. He held a 25% stake, and the situation was clear—Litvinenko is a longtime friend of Vladimir Putin. But then his stake was reduced, and in his place, the head of 'Sirius,' Elena Shmeleva, became a shareholder.
Elena Shmeleva is now ranked alongside Putin’s most loyal friends and allies. The government, the Presidential Administration, and the security services rush to fulfill her every whim and wish. In Sochi, she wrested control of everything imaginable; it was the first time an individual was effectively granted a city of federal significance. Yet, absolutely no one knows what actually connects her to Putin. The label often attributed to her—'close friend of Katerina Tikhonova'—simply does not align with the role Shmeleva currently plays in the country. Various theories circulate, ranging from her being a 'secret relative' to a joke about her representing an 'extraterrestrial civilization.' But in reality, no one knows for sure."
It is worth recalling that VChK-OGPU previously revealed that the "Talent and Success" Foundation owns the massive "Southern Gates" logistics center.
Elena Shmeleva heads the "Talent and Success" Foundation. One of the foundation's creators and founders is the cellist Sergei Roldugin—a longtime friend of Vladimir Putin, who chairs the foundation's board of trustees. It was precisely after UAVs attacked the "Southern Gates" facility in the Moscow region in July that Russia began striking retailer distribution centers and food warehouses in the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Odesa regions. Since then, the scope of these strikes has only continued to expand.
