Berezovsky is one of the seven Russian oligarchs.

Berezovsky is a legendary figure who is a mathematician, financier, media tycoon and "political genius".

Palisse berezovsky, a modest professor of applied mathematics, made his own contribution to the All-Russian Automobile Union in 1989, and promised to develop the mathematical guarantee for operation. He soon realized that he couldn't make more money in this line of work, so he turned to an industry that seemed to have nothing to do with the math professor-selling cars. He became the biggest middleman in the automobile alliance, earning hundreds of millions of dollars in a few years and buying 300 million dollars of real estate in Moscow and St. Petersburg. What berezovsky stole is equivalent to two Auto Alliances. First, he got the LADA car at the export price (about $4,800/car) and then sold it for $7,500. Second, he charged the buyer a car deposit and delayed it for several months before paying it to the factory. In the case of hyperinflation, he got half a car's worth of oil and water. However, this is only a small part. berezovsky has already started to trade other famous cars. Naturally, this is done in the case of evading tariffs.

1993, berezovsky and Kadannikov (former deputy prime minister) established the so-called All-Russian Automobile Alliance (ABBA). They promised to jointly produce new cars with the "денералмоторос" factory in the United States, with a project valuation of $65.438+$0.5 billion. The method is naturally to raise money from gullible Russians and promise them to pay by car in the future. At the beginning of 1995, Kadannikov and berezovsky announced that the project would be reduced to 700 million dollars, and by 1997, the project would no longer be implemented. The leaders of the "дм" factory made it clear in time that the project was put on hold because of risks. As a result, ABBA only raised $50 million instead of the original $700 million, while the Automobile Federation and Finland "валметотмотив".

Berezovsky's "dirty money" in the oil field is also relatively smooth. 199565438+February, headed by his banking consortium, his "Rokavas", "National Finance Company" and "Capital Savings Bank" in smolenski purchased 5 1% of the shares of "Siberian Petroleum" holding company by mortgage auction. The company was established by presidential decree a few months before the auction. "Siberian Oil" ranks sixth in Russian oil production and eighth in reserves. Its oil reserves are estimated to be 654.38+92.8 million tons. Joining the holding company is the oil production company Nayapali Oil and Gas Company (1995, the company produced 20.34 million tons of oil and employed 4 1 000 people); Omsk Petroleum Processing Plant (the plant has 1 1 800 workers, and 1995 produces16.53 million tons of petroleum products); Geophysical supporting research company of Nayapali Oil and Gas Company (1 1,000 workers); Omsk Petroleum Products Marketing Company (2,500 workers). It should be pointed out that due to the modernization of omsk Oil Processing Factory before privatization, the factory has become the Russian enterprise with the highest technical level, and the depth of oil processing has reached 9 1%. Siberian Petroleum, Boston Bank, omsk Petroleum Processing Plant, Kansal Investment Company and Lukail, the largest Russian oil holding company controlled by Alekperov, are the largest shareholders of Nayapali Oil and Gas Company.

Time, a Russian business publication, pointed out that in the process of mortgage auction, with the serious violation of the rules stipulated by the government, berezovsky seized the controlling stake of Siberian Oil Company. Being illegally deprived of the right to participate in the auction, the board of directors of "International Commercial Bank" submitted an indictment against berezovsky to the Moscow court. The court made a judgment in favor of "international commercial bank" in the first instance. However, berezovsky used its relationship with the government to revise this decision in the final review. In order to crush competitors, berezovsky also leaked information in the media through the central bank like an "international commercial bank", which led to a large number of depositors' runs on deposits. The bank survived only because of the special measures taken by its chairman, Vi Noguera.

Berezovsky's stake in Russian television is also part of its financial empire. Russian TV was established in 1995 by presidential decree. The state controls 5 1% of the shares, and 49% of the shares are auctioned to private companies. Here, the largest share was acquired by "Rocavas" (16%), and berezovsky became the largest shareholder and actual controller of public television. All efforts by the State Duma to control public television stations have failed. In the propaganda activities before the election, public TV channels, like other countries and private TV channels, all worked for Yeltsin.

In June, 1996, 1 1, Lukar's guaranteed pension fund under rugal Petroleum Kangtsen acquired 9.5% of the shares of Izvestia/kloc-0 from the three-person dialogue investment company. The editor-in-chief of Izvestia knows that Alemberov, as the boss of Russia's largest comprehensive oil company, is dissatisfied with berezovsky's enthusiasm in Chechnya and other regions, which Albania considers to be its own interests. He has reason to think that appointing berezovsky to the safety committee is tantamount to putting the sheep back in the vegetable garden and the fox back in the henhouse. On 1996, berezovsky was called "the red godfather of the Kremlin" by one of the US presidential candidates.
