"He's certainly not the same anymore. He smells like retirement."

As VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info have discovered, a unique car—a seized Porsche Cayenne—was sold at a state auction. "Doctor" Andrey Kurpatov, head of Sberbank's Laboratory of Neuroscience and Human Behavior, gave it to his lover, Alexey Ievsky, and then, after their breakup, decided to take it back along with other gifts (expensive jewelry). Ievsky refused to return the gifts, and Kurpatov then tried to file a fraud case against him. He claimed he allowed the purchase of the expensive car, but refused to authorize its registration in Ievsky's name. Furthermore, Kurpatov and Ievsky picked up the Porsche together, and all the paperwork was completed in Kurpatov's presence. Correspondence also confirmed the gift. Initially, Kurpatov's attempts to "punish" the lover who abandoned him were not particularly successful. But then, according to a source, German Gref personally became involved, resulting in Ievsky being placed in pretrial detention, then under house arrest, and finally sentenced to six years (the prosecutor had actually requested 13 years in prison). The Porsche Cayenne was seized, and in 2025, an attempt was made to sell it at a state auction for over 9 million rubles—the estimated "damages" to Kurpatov from the car incident. But there were no takers, and in late May 2026, the Porsche was auctioned off for 6.1 million rubles, which will go to Kurpatov.

The most remarkable thing about this story is that Alexey's relatives decided to publicize the correspondence and videos from his time with Kurpatov, confirming what had been considered a "conspiracy rumor"—the existence of a large-scale "gay lobby" within the government. As it turns out, most gay civil servants support each other, appointing each other to various positions, and appointing their lovers as theater directors or government officials. The funniest thing is that certain lobby members publicly and harshly call on Russians to strictly adhere to "traditional values." In their correspondence, members repeatedly refer to this entire circle and refer to it as "ours."

 

For example, Dmitry Bikbaev, an active member of the group, invites Kurpatov to the premiere of his play at the Moscow Art Theater and confidentially explains that everyone will be "ours": Sergei Novikov, Head of the Presidential Administration's Department for Public Projects; Valery Falkov, Minister of Science and Higher Education; Igor Matskevich (at the time of the events, Secretary of the Higher Attestation Commission, and now Rector of the University of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation). Incidentally, as our project previously reported, the prosecutor's office is considered to have the largest gay lobby in the country.

 

And here Bikbaev sends a video message to Ievsky. Kurpatov left St. Petersburg for Moscow, and his lover was worried that he was cheating on her. In the video, Kurpatov's voiceover is heard. Young people are trying to figure out who the doctor is having fun with in the capital.

 

The video then moves on to "Vova, who left, or more precisely, Vladimir Eduardovich." "Vovochka left happy!" Bikbaev insists.

This is Vladimir Eduardovich Filippov. He was the head of the Moscow Department of Family and Youth Policy, then deputy head of the Moscow Department of Culture. Since 2018, he has been the head of the Moscow Department of Labor and Social Protection. Filippov oversees the Day of Family, Love, and Fidelity, a replacement for the "enemy" Valentine's Day, and International Family Day. He constantly speaks about traditional values, Orthodoxy, and so on.

 

It was Filippov who arranged the appointment of Bikbaev, a graduate of "Star Factory" (he got involved in the project through Kurpatov's patronage), as head of the Moscow State Budgetary Cultural Institution "I.M. Astakhov Cultural Center." He then organized his meeting with Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. Bikbaev then became close to Novikov. As a result, he is now the artistic director of the Theater on Pokrovka (under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Department of Culture), manages the Art Platform Open Theater Space in the New Manege, and so on.

 

Correspondence shows that singer Yegor Creed, struggling with his problems, approached Andrei Kurpatov. Kurpatov desperately wanted to cure Creed using the method he uses to treat young singers he knows (he calls it "sex therapy"). But Yegor didn't buy it. "He doesn't know his own happiness," Kurpatov lamented.

 

Incidentally, around this same time, German Gref was actively courting Dania Milokhin. Sberbank paid for his appearance at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Milokhin's Maybach was registered to Sberleasing, Sberleasing even rented the skating rink where Milokhin prepared for the "Ice Age" show, and so on.

 

The correspondence contains many details about Gref and Kurpatov's relationship. Kurpatov writes to Ievsky that he was giving a report for Sberbank, and GO (Kurpatov's designation for German Oskarovich Gref) dismissed the whole thing as nonsense. The friends even had a falling out, and now Kurpatov is making up with Gref in a sauna. "It's hot in every sense of the word," the doctor confides to Ievsky. And yet, he doesn't speak highly of Gref: "He's certainly not the same anymore. He smells like retirement, and they live in a room lined with mattresses."
