The richest security official: career, scandals, criminal case of Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Ivanov
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[GlavnoeLife] The Investigative Committee of Russia announced the detention of Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Timur Ivanov on suspicion of receiving a bribe on an especially large scale. We tell you who Timur Ivanov is and about the criminal case for taking a bribe. WHO IS TIMUR IVANOV Ivanov is a man with a civilian background; he spent most of his career in the energy sector. Ivanov was born in 1975 in Moscow - thus, he can become the youngest of Sergei Shoigu’s current deputies. If he is appointed, the leadership of the ministry will be biased toward civilians over the military. Ivanov has a diploma from the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of Moscow State University with a degree in applied mathematics. It is curious that he graduated from the university in 1997 and immediately after graduation, according to his official biography posted on the Oboronstroy website, “he held senior positions in commercial organizations.” Since 1999, he was an adviser to the head of the department for the construction of nuclear facilities of the Ministry of Atomic Energy, then an adviser to the first deputy head of Rosenergoatom, and later became the first vice president of Atomstroyexport, from where he left for the post of deputy chairman of the board of Inter RAO UES. At the same time, Ivanov was in the position of adviser to the Minister of Energy. In the period from 2009 to 2012, he was the general director of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Russian Energy Agency” of the Ministry of Energy of Russia. He was a member of the working group of the government commission on energy efficiency issues of the fuel and energy complex. From 2011 to 2013, he was a member of the High-Level Group on Affordable Energy for All under UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. From March 2013 to May 2016, he held the position of General Director of JSC Oboronstroy (replacing Vladislav Germanovich in this post), which is directly and through JSC Garrison controlled by the Russian Ministry of Defense. JSC Oboronstroy is a diversified company engaged in the construction of housing for military personnel, as well as socially significant and strategic military facilities. It includes enterprises involved in design, construction, manufacturing, logistics and energy. Acting State Advisor of the Russian Federation, 1st class (2019). Honored Builder of the Russian Federation (2015). Hero of the LPR (2022). “HONORARY BUILDER” IVANOV AND THE TRAGEDY IN SEVASTOPOL Despite his short-term leadership of the Moscow region, Sergei Shoigu worked quite closely with Timur Ivanov, who managed to enter his inner circle. In November 2012, the former governor headed the defense department, and already in March 2013, Ivanov was appointed head of JSC Oboronstroy, an enterprise controlled by the Ministry of Defense and specializing in the construction of housing for military personnel, as well as socially significant and strategic military facilities. Let us recall that the ministry at that time was rocked by a scandal related to the criminal case of Oboronservis and the new appointments were primarily aimed at the rehabilitation of this department mired in corruption. Its structure also included Oboronstroy. Ivanov was entrusted with one of the most financially promising areas - construction. And he had to justify the trust placed in him. As the RBC portal reported, during his tenure, the new appointee “managed to complete several assignments of particular importance.” In particular, he built the Sevastopol Presidential Cadet School in record time in 2014, and also completed the construction of the Patriot Park in the Moscow region in 2015, for which he received the title “Honored Builder of Russia.” A year earlier, Shoigu signed an order to award Ivanov the medal “For the Return of Crimea.” The Gazeta.ru portal wrote that the contribution of the general director of Oboronstroy to the expansion of Russian borders was “active participation in the restoration of the infrastructure” of the peninsula. The work proceeded at a really fast pace: the media noted that the cadet school alone was built in less than five months. But quickly does not mean quality. Less than two weeks before the grand opening of the educational institution, an emergency occurred: the roof of one of the buildings under construction collapsed, a total of ten people were injured, and two construction workers were killed. The authors of press publications indignantly emphasized that if the structure had held out a little longer, children would have ended up under the rubble. But when speed is the main indicator, everything else seems to fade into the background. Moreover, the tragic incident was soon safely forgotten, and the head of Oboronstroy received further titles and awards. In May 2016, Timur Ivanov was appointed Deputy Defense Minister of Russia Sergei Shoigu. The appointment decree was signed on May 23. At the beginning of July 2016, he headed the Ministry of Defense commission to restore order in the Baltic Fleet, whose leadership was removed from duties at the end of June. At the Ministry of Defense, Timur Ivanov was responsible for organizing property management, quartering of troops (forces), housing and medical support for the Armed Forces. Also, Timur Ivanov at the Ministry of Defense was primarily responsible for construction. In the new territories, all construction contracts were under him. These are astronomical amounts. And about the missus: TIMUR IVANOV'S WIFE IS SOCIALITE SVETLANA ZAKHAROVA Nothing is known about Timur Ivanov’s first wife. But the second one is Svetlana Aleksandrovna Ivanova, ex-host of the “Take it off immediately!” program. on STS and an Israeli citizen, a rather interesting personality. We can say that Timur Ivanov married successfully. His chosen one was a wealthy woman, but not entirely free - she was married for fifteen years to businessman and collector Mikhail Maniovich (Children from her first marriage with Mikhail Maniovich - daughter Alexandra (born 1998) and son Mark (born 2002). Guessed who speech? This is Svetlana Zakharova, owner of the Metropol Fashion Group, buyer, Moscow it-girl, regular at social events and host of the television program “Take it off immediately!” As soon as Ivanov realized that he loved this particular woman, his career took off at cosmic speed. First, Ivanov was taken under the wing of Russian Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko, and then Timur Vadimovich was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Moscow Region. Just at this time, the governor of the Moscow region for a short time was Sergei Shoigu, who, after moving to the Ministry of Defense, took the young and talented official with him. Timur Ivanov's wife has Israeli citizenship. She allegedly designed it thanks to the leader of the Izmailovo organized crime group, Anton Malevsky. There was even information in open sources that at the time of receiving an Israeli passport, Svetlana Zakharova lived in an apartment that belonged to Anton Malevsky. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs certificate, Malevsky is “a killer with sadistic tendencies.” They say that Zakharova was once his partner. However, this is not the end of the family’s connections with the Deputy Minister of Defense abroad. Svetlana Zakharova’s daughter, Alexandra, also has an Israeli passport and has been living quietly with it in France for more than five years. Think about it, the adopted daughter of the Deputy Minister of Defense lives in an unfriendly country and almost every day posts photos with expensive bags and other accessories on social networks. And this is at a time when relatives of those mobilized are collecting their last pennies to buy the recruits the necessary uniforms and other items of equipment. In 2018, Timur Ivanov’s wife became the richest wife of all Defense Ministry officials. She earned about 50 million rubles in a year. She owns several plots with a total area of 10,200 square meters, apartment with an area of 317 sq. m, which she shares with her husband, and a dacha. The deputy minister's wife has three cars (Bentley Continental, Aston Martin and Hummer H2), and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Ivanova has three children, one of them, by the way, as indicated in the declaration, has an apartment in Mexico. Those are nice rides... According to the 2019 rating, Ivanov himself was among the top richest security officials in the country with a family income for 2018 of 136.7 million rubles. Ivanov and Zakharova also have two minor daughters - Daria and Praskovya. Let us note that the daughter of Svetlana Ivanova, Alexandra Maniovich, after receiving French docks for Israeli ones, began posting texts against the SVO from Paris. This act protected the Ivanovs’ property, as well as Svetlana and her children, from the authorities of the European Union. For the same purpose, on August 30, 2022, the Ivanovs filed for divorce, case M-0401/417. Posted by: badanov 2024-04-26 |
