Policy

During the election campaign in State Duma second convocation in 1995, Deripaska provided financial support to (LDPR), as well as to the candidate in Khakassia for the State Duma Alexey Lebed.

In 1996, according to media reports, Deripaska contributed to the election of Lebed as head of Khakassia. After the inauguration, Governor Lebed recruited representatives of SAZ to work in the government of the republic and began to listen to his opinion general director.

According to some reports, trying to dislodge influence in Krasnoyarsk region MMC-Norilsk Nickel, RUSAL not only supported the elections, but also acted as the main sponsor of the election campaign in 2015 - in the regions of the region.

In addition to contributing to the general pot of the party, significant sums of aluminum workers are donated locally - to support the party in power in the territories where RUSAL is present, for example, in Achinsk. "United Russia" has received resources and is conducting an expensive PR campaign for its candidates for the Achinsk City Council: for financial support for Rusalovsky Ilay Akhmetov the retention of the post of mayor is guaranteed, as well as 5-year loyalty to the Achinsk Alumina Refinery on the part of United Russia deputies. At the regional level, the election situation is managed by the first deputy governor Sergey Ponomarenko. In Achinsk, a political strategist is responsible for the Rusal-United Russia campaign Victor Poturemsky.

Sources claim that the election activity of RUSAL in 2014 and 2015 is not a forced measure that Oleg Deripaska took in order to maintain existing political positions in the region.

Scandals (rumors)

The press wrote that in 1994, Deripaska spent the night at SaAZ not only because he was studying documents. It was dangerous to go out into the city - I had my eye on the plant Vladimir Tatarenkov(better known by the nickname Tatar), who saw a completely different person in the director’s chair.

In 1995, Tatar almost killed Deripaska. The car in which the director of SaAZ together with Bosov And Lisin I was driving from Sayanogorsk to Achinsk for a meeting of shareholders of an alumina refinery; grenade launchers were waiting on the road. The future participants of the “Golden Hundred” were saved by a miracle: at the last moment Bykov found out about the ambush (as Bosov tells it from his words) and allegedly ordered everything to be called off. The Tatar was forced to submit.

In addition to Tatarin, Deripaska was harassed by local authorities. Veniamin Striga, the head of a local television channel and at one time the representative of the President of the Russian Federation in Khakassia, was forced to go abroad. “They tried to kidnap and kill my client,” said Striga’s lawyer Yuri Orekhov. “The Deripaska group will not give a chance to a civilized court,” Striga said in an interview with Forbes.

It was Striga who launched the story into wide circulation about how Deripaska, in the first days of his directorship, walked around the SaAZ workshops in training pants with his knees stretched out and identified points of sale of alcohol. Attacks from Striga greatly irritated Deripaska, recalls one of the Rusal employees.

In 2003, Striga, who had moved to Moscow, published another incriminating article about the aluminum magnate on his website, after which the Khakass police opened a criminal case against the author. The Khakass riot police unit, which came to the capital to arrest Striga, left with nothing: Deripaska’s personal enemy had left the country by that time.

In the late 1990s, there were rumors that Deripaska had fully or partially bought the network "Gazeta.Ru"- one of the sites created once by the Effective Policy Foundation Gleb Pavlovsky, as well as a newspaper "Stringer", previously owned Alexander Korzhakov. Among the publications allegedly controlled by Deripaska, they also named the newspaper "Abroad".

As he says former employee"Rusala", in 2001 Vladimir Putin visited Deripaska's farmstead in a picturesque corner of Khakassia, on the waterfalls, a few kilometers from Sayanogorsk (Dyachenko and Yumashev had been there several times before Putin). Since then, Deripaska has visited Putin in the Kremlin several times. One can only guess about the content of their conversations, but the fact remains that Deripaska quickly accepted the new rules of the game.

The scandal with Deripaska occurred in early 2001, when he decided to create timber industry holding. For this, Deripaska needed the archives of the Arkhangelsk Pulp and Paper Mill and a number of other enterprises. By 2003, he already owned the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill, the Selenga Pulp and Paper Mill, the Arkhangelsk Timber Mill No. 2, the Omsk Cardboard Factory, the Luzsky Wood Processing Plant and several enterprises in Karelia.

Owners Arkhangelsk Pulp and Paper Mill refused to sell shares to Deripaska. Then he used one of the raider techniques - lawsuits from minority shareholders. Key shareholder Vladimir Krupchak tried to find support in the fight against Deripaska from Vladimir Kogan, St. Petersburg banker and friend of Vladimir Putin.

But after Kogan ended up with 20% of the shares of the Arkhangelsk Central Clinical Hospital, Kogan began to act in the interests of Deripaska. Subsequently, Oleg Deripaska used administrative and power resources in the fight against the intractable Krupchak. The latter was first recalled from the State Duma, and after Deripaska initiated the initiation of a criminal case against Krupchak under Art. 160 part 3 (theft on an especially large scale).

In 2001, the notorious journalist Paul Khlebnikov published an article about an informal agreement between Oleg Deripaska and Vladimir Putin. According to Klebnikov, Putin promised Deripaska to turn a blind eye to his criminal past in exchange for a promise not to participate in politics and to invest money in the needs of the state. Klebnikov suggested that Putin was going to turn a blind eye to several years of “bloody chaos” in the aluminum sector. Khlebnikov wrote that “while the smoke from the next shot was clearing, dozens of ordinary performers, bankers, businessmen, mafia bosses managed to go to the next world.” In 2004, Paul Klebnikov was killed.

In February 2002, a number of negative materials appeared in the media in which the name of Oleg Deripaska was mentioned in connection with the organization of the raider takeover Bratsk LPK. Representatives of Basic Element filed a lawsuit for the protection of honor, dignity and business reputation.

In 2003, foreign media published information accusing Deripaska of having connections with criminal organizations. In particular, they said that Oleg Deripaska's company RUSAL is actually in the sphere of influence of Mikhail Cherny. The latter was accused by Western services of committing crimes, drug trafficking and money laundering. Journalists claimed that in 1996, when the name of Mikhail Chernoy was tarnished by many crimes, Chernoy introduced Deripaska into the business, who, in fact, became his protégé. In 1992, Deripaska and Chernoy registered the Aluminproduct company in Moscow, which bought shares in an aluminum production plant in Sayansk. Deripaska became the head of the plant.

In March 2006, the New Region newspaper published a transcript of a conversation in which the voices allegedly belonged to Oleg Deripaska and the ex-Prime Minister. From the dialogue it becomes clear that Kasyanov is asking Deripaska for money for his election campaign to the State Duma, for the creation of a united opposition. At the same time, Kasyanov refers to the support of his interests in the West, but at the same time to the lack of investment immediately before the elections. Deripaska promises to give money, provided that it is channeled through Western banks.

Another scandal involving Deripaska's name broke out in the United States over his contacts with a presidential candidate, senator from Arizona. John McCain. In the United States, Deripaska was suspected of having connections with organized crime in Russia, which is why he was even denied an American visa. Deripaska met with McCain in 2006 in Switzerland during the international economic forum in Davos. He offered to assist McCain in the planned business transaction.

In 2007, an article was published on the Favorites website with the history of the beginning of Oleg Deripaska’s career. It said that Deripaska, thanks to the support of Mikhail Cherny, was making plans to take over shares of the Krasnoyarsk Aluminum Plant, but the shareholders did not agree to sell the shares. In 1995, three high-profile murders were committed - the deputy director of the plant Vadim Yafyasova, President of Bank "Ugoria" Oleg Kantor and the head of AIOC Felix Lvov.

As a result, KAZ became controlled by Deripaska. The same events are associated with publications in foreign press, when several trading companies working with Novokuznetsk aluminum smelter(NkAZ), filed a lawsuit in a New York court against Oleg Deripaska and Mikhail Cherny demanding compensation of $2.7 billion. Deripaska and Cherny were accused of a raider takeover of NkAZ, which involved extortion, bribes, and harassment of the head of the NkAZ management company MIKOM Mikhail Zhivilo and the murder of his colleague Felix Lvov.

In 2009, Deripaska found himself at the center of a scandal surrounding a single-industry town. Pikalevo. After the Baselcement-Pikalevo enterprise owned by him for a long time could not agree on the supply of raw materials and actually stopped its work, the residents of Pikalevo blocked the federal highway Vologda-Novaya Ladoga. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was forced to resolve the issue. He publicly forced Oleg Deripaska to sign a contract with the CEO of the holding "PhosAgro" Maxim Volkov, after which the situation was resolved.

In the fall of 2009, the Spanish law enforcement agencies raised suspicions of money laundering against Oleg Deripaska. According to the Spanish police, in 2001–2004, Deripaska “drove” four million euros through the Spanish accounts of the Russian mafia. However, no official charges were brought against the businessman, and the high-profile investigation ended in nothing for lack of evidence.

In January 2010, the Vedomosti newspaper published material in which journalists accused Putin of violating Russia’s obligations as one of the signatories of the Convention on world heritage UNESCO, for the sake of the interests of Oleg Deripaska. The Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill, owned by Deripaska, was allowed to discharge wastewater into Lake Baikal. To achieve this, Vladimir Putin gave instructions to change the list of activities prohibited in the central ecological zone of the Baikal natural territory. In this regard, the plant now has the right to produce bleached cellulose, which Lately increased in price by 40%, but when released it produces a huge amount of environmentally harmful chemicals.

This is not the first such unlawful decision by Putin in the interests of Derepaska. In the same way, with the personal participation of Vladimir Putin, another enterprise of Oleg Deripaska, the Pikalevsky Alumina Refinery, was allowed to produce harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Deripaska's interests are supported by the Russian government in all areas of the oligarch's business.

For example, Rusal received from VEB anti-crisis loan of $4.5 billion - in connection with this, it was necessary to issue a special permit to exceed the limits for one borrower. Loan repurchased Sberbank and will be extended until 2013. In addition, VEB is also buying shares of Rusal at the IPO.

Oleg Deripaska is influential person and an extraordinary personality, he joins the ranks of the richest and wealthiest people in Russia. Around Oleg there is a lot of attention from journalists, information in the yellow press, envious people and ill-wishers. He was one of the richest people in the country until he experienced a crisis that destroyed almost half of his wealth.
