Alexey Nikolaevich!
It became known to me that you are constantly monitoring the case (my lawsuit against MTS). It became known from a telephone conversation with the former General Director of JSC Mobile Communication Systems (Omsk) Ryazanov A.V. like "scoundrelth", I can't agree. I would like to understand the motivesby asking a few simple questions:
Maybe you learned about this from the former president of MTS Smirnov M.A.?
In my opinion, he should not have such grounds. In 1996 I came to him with a proposal to build a cellular network in Omsk. He was then sitting in a small office. Literally, he told me: “Do you have a license? I'll give you 2 million dollars in a diplomat, but there is no license. I left and built a cellular network myself from scratch, recruiting the staff of the company and finding an investor, without the help of M.A. Smirnov.
Maybe at the general meeting of the association of GSM operators in 1999. I “hit” the executive director of the association, Afanasiev, because we, the operators, have to stand idle at the office for hours in the hope of seeing him and generally visiting the office, since we, the operators, pay for his rent, etc.?
Or after, during a dinner in Omsk in 2000, which was attended by Smirnov M.A., I mustered up the “impudence” and asked to observe the interests of other shareholders, including myself, after, in fact, with my consent, MTSU “gifted” an operating company with tens of thousands of subscribers for 800 thousand rubles? By the way, judging by the documents of the arbitration court, MTS subsequently did not invest a penny in the company, but from which it siphoned off billions of rubles, without paying taxes to the State, simultaneously dispersing all shareholders with a “bad broom”. So Smirnov M.A. he personally promised me that all decorum would be observed, only then he forgot about decorum and did not come out to sign the Treaty, which I now dispute, despite my requests. Was it embarrassing to look into your eyes?
Or maybe because I was unable to build a second cellular network in Omsk, having received a license for which and managed (the only one in Russia!) to re-register it for another company? So excuse me, you promised to finance its construction, but on the very first day after acquiring a controlling stake, you refused to do so. In addition, they did not allow Ryazanov to accept me back to his previous position in the company, depriving me of my livelihood? Although a couple of months before that, they were happy to play billiards with me? Or it was not billiards, but an attempt to get into the company under the guise of a bunny. So you're not a bunny. This I can say with certainty.
Or because I refused to sell MTS a 30% stake that belonged to my company, which I myself created and invited (for free) a “roof” in the form of FSB (KGB) colonels? So you yourself agreed with them to expel me from this company and try to take my share. The day after my refusal, at the MSS office. Don't remember? Let's remember for sure.
Or maybe because I managed to leave for France and we flew on May 17, 2000. are you on the same plane? So the colonels found out the very next day that I had flown away and held an illegal meeting already on May 19, 2000. where I was kicked out of the company. Did you tell them or did you bring a magpie on your tail? Then why am I "rascal"?
Or because your new partners (I did not suit you, because I always demanded something) did not have time to put me in prison, although there were more than enough opportunities? Take your pick: drugs, arms dealing, running brothels—anything you chose could be applied to me. That is why I didn’t go home from the hospital (where I ended up with severe injuries under more than strange circumstances at the entrance of my house a few days after your meeting with the colonels, to which you didn’t let me), because I was immediately “sewn ”I would have articles, but while I was sitting, they would calmly sell you and MTS the entire 30% stake.
Yeah, you can’t think of anything worse - really a “scoundrel”, he circled a whole gang of colonels around his finger. Although this did not stop them later from fooling several dozen of their former colleagues, to whom they spread tales that I stole the shares and took them to France, and they were white and fluffy, and for many years I was afraid to come to Omsk, where my mother lived . Well, your colonel friends, having sold the remnants of the shares they stole to MTS in order to avoid punishment, spread rumors about me for many years that I was the organizer of the contract killing of one of them after I wrote a statement to the Prosecutor General's Office. Did I even say somewhere that it was you who thought them up about this? And I won’t say, simply because I don’t know for sure. Well, maybe this moment will become clearer with the opening of a criminal case, so that there would be no doubts. By the way, your werewolf colonels unanimously “merge” your “transparent” MTS and you personally, telling during interrogations that it was you who put pressure on them, offering to contribute money to the development of the company or sell shares. (I did not find where to insert the word "scoundrel" in relation to myself).
Or maybe a "scoundrel" because he did not agree with the amount of the Agreement even before it was signed and you did not leave me a chance to get a loan from the bank, giving an order to Ryazanov A.V. withdraw the register of shareholders from the company and thereby hindered the receipt of an extract from the register?
Or because, in fact, he refused to fill out the transfer orders, and you “reluctantly and reluctantly” said “well, don’t sign”? As far as I remember, there were witnesses whom the police still cannot find and interrogate for reasons unknown to me.
Perhaps because in October 2007. I turned through a friend to AFK Sistema (Zubov D.L.) and you with a request to pay off your debts? Or were you not told about it? Why then am I "rascal"?
Or maybe a "scoundrel" because he wrote hundreds of statements, explanations, complaints and demands after in 2007. came to Russia and began to learn the details of the case in which you made a career? Because 30 times the police refused to initiate criminal cases against me without following a single order from the Prosecutor's Office, and again and again I can't "calm down"? But wasn’t it immediately clear to you that a person who created a cellular company from scratch, without a penny of money in his pocket, has sufficient perseverance and will defend his rights to the last?
Maybe I'm also a "scoundrel" because I'm trying to get to your accomplices who make false reports? So I'll get there. I will definitely get there and I promise that not only you and judge Shustikova S.N. you will consider me a "scoundrel". Judge Shustikov S.N. in its own way, it’s a pity, but it ruined her false idea of the “honor of the uniform”, as a result of which she sank to insults during the trial and adopted many illegal judicial acts, for which she is now paying. But it was your personnel and the slippery position of the MTS that brought her "under the monastery." It was MTS that did not provide the requested documents to the court, despite all its “openness” to the press. I think that judge Shustikova S.N. now clearly understands, "how am I different from millions of people on the street?". Interesting, do you understand what or not yet?
Maybe another reason to call me "scoundrel"? Whatyour Luxembourg company (FASP) was an agent of MTS for collecting low-quality payments? And my perseverance broke the profitable part of your personal business and they had to terminate the contract? Maybe Yevtushenkov or the US Securities Commission are not yet aware of the events? Well, it's too early to say who is who. It would make sense to figure it out.
I am sure that if these reasons became the basis of your assertion that I am a "scoundrel", but more than once you will have to be convinced of this. It is a pity that you understand the "honor of the uniform" of MTS in the same way as some judges in arbitration courts.
Any paragraph from the above is enough to understand who is right and who is a villain.

The Central Bank has revealed the facts of illegal use of insider information for transactions with the shares of AFK Sistema, the regulator reports. We are talking about the events of 2014.
In the message of the Central Bank, it is specified that three employees of AFK Sistema - Buyanov A.N., Nosova N.K. and Goncharuk A.Yu. — in July 2014, illegally using insider information, they made transactions with the company's shares. This happened a few hours before the official disclosure of insider information by the company, which caused a decrease in quotations for AFK Sistema's shares on the stock exchange by more than 7%.
The regulator found that transactions with shares were carried out by employees in their interests "with the illegal use of received insider information." “The execution of such transactions allowed these persons to avoid losses, the total amount of which amounted to tens of millions of rubles,” the Central Bank said in a statement.
The materials of the check were transferred to law enforcement agencies, the press service of the Central Bank added.
Sergey Kopytov, a representative of AFK Sistema, noted that the facts indicated in the release of the Central Bank do not affect AFK Sistema, but relate to individuals, former employees of the corporation. “Despite the fact that the regulator has no claims against AFK Sistema, the corporation will take additional measures to improve the quality of corporate governance and transparency of activities, including in dealing with insider information. The corporation will cooperate with government agencies on the facts set out in the release,” Kopytov told RBC.
In November 2014, it became known that two weeks before the start of the criminal investigation, Goncharuk reduced his stake in AFC from 0.4689% to 0.0008%.
A man named Alexei Buyanov has worked at Sistema since 1994, and in 2013 he took over as First Vice President, where he led the company's investment portfolio in financial services. An employee named Natalia Nosova previously headed Sistema's Risk Management Directorate.

The lawsuit of an individual against AFK Sistema for 133 billion rubles as an attempt to force the state to work in the interests of the state
Plaintiff Yevgeny GRAFEEV sent an open appeal to the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation.
A number of media outlets have already reported that Evgeny GRAFEEV, an Omsk citizen, has filed a lawsuit against PJSC AFK SISTEMA with a demand to return dividends received by the company in the amount of 133 billion rubles during illegal possession shares of Bashneft. Our fellow countryman is known for his litigation with the daughter of AFK Sistema - MTS. Therefore, even earlier, having “snacked” with AFK Sistema, GRAFEEV set as his goal, using the example of this case, to find out how real the rights of a citizen declared on paper to protect the interests of their state and citizens, in the case when the law enforcement agencies designed to protect them, suddenly refuse from your intentions.
Systematic approach: who manages the millions of Vladimir Yevtushenkov
Financier Alexey Buyanov began his career at AFK Sistema from setting up computers, and grew into a manager of funds of the owner of the holding
The low salary at the Institute for Problems in Mechanics forced in 1994 a young graduate of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Alexei Buyanov, to seek new job. The comrade suggested an option - to monitor computers in AFK Sistema. Then the company of Vladimir Yevtushenkov was little known, it employed 20 people. “The atmosphere was almost family,” recalls Buyanov. Who could have imagined that in ten years this company would become one of the largest private holdings in the country, and Buyanov would become its senior vice president?
Sistema's chief PR manager became the head of the holding's investments
The Board of Directors of AFK Sistema appointed Andrey Terebenin the head of the investment portfolio and included him in the management board. This is stated in the message of the holding.
Prior to that, Terebenin was vice president, head of the company's corporate communications complex. Who will replace Terebenin in this post will be announced later.
In addition, the board of directors removed Aleksey Buyanov and Aleksey Chupin from the board.
As AFK Sistema explained to Lente.ru, Buyanov will leave the holding, where he served as first vice president of AFK Sistema. He will manage an investment fund owned personally by the owner of Sistema, Vladimir Yevtushenkov.
Top 100 debtors
Why do we need a rating of the largest debtors? After all, there is a logical relationship: the larger the business, the more borrowing it can afford. This means that the top 100 debtors have much in common with the list of the 500 largest companies. And indeed, the same Gazprom is in the first place: the leader Russian economy owes more than the following three companies combined. No. 2 Rosneft also does not stand out from the general dependence. But then the logic of reasoning of skeptics breaks completely and irrevocably. Firstly, the third number is Rusal, which occupies only the 12th line in the rating of the largest companies. Its revenue is almost 10 times less than "Gazprom" - but the debt differs only three times. Secondly, only 54 largest debtors are included in the top 100 "Finance-500". Finally, this list included five companies whose revenue in 2008 was less than the threshold of 9.9 billion rubles. A striking example is the Amur Shipyard, which is actually idle last years. But the debt as of June 30 was 15.5 billion rubles.

"The Fourth Hundred" of the reserve of managerial personnel
List of persons included in the "fourth hundred" of the reserve of managerial personnel under the patronage of the President of the Russian Federation

In 1994, a young graduate of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Aleksey Buyanov, was forced by a low salary at the Institute for Problems in Mechanics to look for a new job. The comrade proposed an option - to monitor computers in AFK Sistema. Then the company of Vladimir Yevtushenkov was little known, it employed 20 people. “The atmosphere was almost family,” recalls Buyanov. Who could have imagined that in ten years this company would become one of the largest private holdings in the country, and Buyanov would become its senior vice president?
Despite a good salary in the IT department, Buyanov did not bother with computers for long, he was more interested in the business of the neighboring investment and financial block. “I wanted to apply my technical mindset to asset valuation,” he recalls. “Sistema already had a large set of motley assets in industry and real estate at that time.” Buyanov was lucky, he was noticed and eventually entrusted to him to deal with asset valuation. He gained the missing knowledge in finance along the way in various courses, including in the Big Four audit companies.
Buyanov's first big appointment was in 1995 the chair of the vice president of Sistema Invest, which was engaged in the purchase of telecommunications assets. A year later, the owner of AFK Sistema, Vladimir Yevtushenkov, was amazed by the first public offering of shares in the history of Russia - on the New York Stock Exchange, VimpelCom, in whose capital AFK Sistema owned a minority stake, raised $ 111 million. Inspired by this success, " Sistema bought 40.4% of MTS from its Russian shareholders. Buyanov participated in the preparation of the deal, and later represented Sistema in MTS as vice president (then Deutsche Telekom was a co-owner of a controlling stake in MTS). But in 1998, Russia defaulted, and investors were not up to placements.
The situation improved only in the early 2000s, when MTS gained its first million subscribers and outstripped its main competitor, VimpelCom. The idea of buying the leader of the cellular market in Russia interested investors, and in mid-2002 the company placed its receipts on the New York Stock Exchange and raised $323 million - more than all Sistema's previous investments in Russian telecommunications. Yevtushenkov was very pleased, and Buyanov, who was responsible for the IPO, was offered positions in the largest investment banks and holdings, but he remained in Sistema, where he continued to lead the financial block.
“Replacing VimpelCom with MTS was a brilliant decision, it increased the welfare of the entire holding,” explains Buyanov.
Sistema grew rich, and Buyanov needed to raise money for new projects. “The breakthrough was the issuance of credit notes in the Western market for $100 million,” he recalls. — After that, they found out about us on the public debt market, and then we issued five-year Eurobonds secured by a block of shares in MTS. This was the first placement of Eurobonds by a holding company on foreign markets.”
Buyanov participated in numerous private equity transactions of Sistema in Russia. These were both large-scale transactions, such as the sale of 49% of the ROSNO insurance company to the German Allianz before the 2008 crisis for $750 million, and small ones, such as the sale of the Businovsky Meat Processing Plant. “Buyanov is a very important “staff man,” recalls his former colleague. “For so many years of work, he has shown himself well and has earned the trust of Yevtushenkov.” After AFK Sistema began trading on the London Stock Exchange in 2005, Yevtushenkov gave Buyanov 0.2% of its shares, which were then worth about $20 million.
In 2011, Yevtushenkov decided to turn his family office into an investment fund operating as a separate business with the prospect of attracting funds from other investors. Then the Redline fund was formed with a volume of €100 million. According to legend, the name of the fund was one of the rebranding options for MTS, but the company left the old name, having received only a new logo (egg0).
Yevtushenkov first called the former vice-president of MTS Sergey Skatershchikov to manage the fund. The fund's investments were quite diverse. Redline bought a stake in the German media group Constantin Medien, which owned the paid sports channel Sport+, the Internet portal Sport.de, the Liga total! channel broadcasting Bundesliga football matches, and also sold sports statistics. In addition, the fund has invested in Paddle8.com, an online art auction, and Artnews, the publisher of America's oldest art magazine.
In 2014, Yevtushenkov wanted to change the fund's strategy. “We decided to focus on what AFK Sistema has always been strong in — technology in the broadest sense of the word,” he says. “The change in strategy was Yevtushenkov’s personal decision and was not related to my work,” Skatershchikov comments. “Redline only increased the value of the net assets under my management in 2012 and 2013, and the performance was not satisfactory.” With the arrival of Buyanov in the first quarter of 2015, the fund began its first exits - it sold a stake in the German media companies WIGE and Constantin Medien, receiving a yield of about 15%.
Now the fund has investments in 15 companies. Among them are the British Iwoca, which provides short-term Internet loans up to £50,000 for small and medium-sized businesses, the Israeli software distributor Ironsource, and the Irish company with Russian roots, Innalabs, which produces navigation equipment for ships and aircraft. In 2014, the fund bought shares in MCW Energy Ltd., which uses environmentally friendly technology to extract oil from oil sands in Utah (USA).
In addition, Redline is set to invest in biotechnology. In the last two years, there has been a boom in IPOs of companies in this sector - 118 placements worth more than $9 billion. “This is a very difficult industry, but if you guess with the investment, then the return is significant,” says Buyanov. “We make up for what we lack in expertise by investing with more sophisticated players.”
Signs of a family office in the fund still remain - investors from outside were not involved, and the London office of the fund is headed by Yevtushenkov's daughter Tatyana.
The name Yevtushenkov also had a negative effect - banks and counterparties in transactions began to get nervous because of the criminal prosecution of the head of Sistema in the fall of 2014.
Then Yevtushenkov was accused of money laundering in the case of the privatization of the assets of the Bashkir fuel and energy complex. “Almost all autumn we calmed down banks, contractors and partners,” says Buyanov. “This, of course, slowed down the work of the fund, although the deals did not fail.” Buyanov plans to invest all the funds of the fund by the end of 2016. The commission is 2% for asset management and 20% for success.
Moves from words to deeds: the three managers of the owned Vladimir Evtushenkov AFC "System" charged with using inside information for personal gain. This is the first ever insider trading case.
So far, three perpetrators have been identified. We are talking about Alexander Goncharuk- former president of Sistema, and at that time - deputy chairman of the board of directors of AFK, Alexei Buyanov - former first Vice President of the AFC and Nadezhda Nosova. The latter worked in the financial block of the corporation, says a person close to Sistema.
All three, according to the Central Bank, used insider information in July 2014 for transactions with ordinary shares of the company. They were held a few hours before the publication by Yevtushenkov's holding of information that caused decline quotations of Sistema shares by more than 7%. The operations helped three managers avoid losses, the total amount of which amounted to tens of millions of rubles, the Central Bank notes. The use of insider information to carry out transactions with financial instruments is a violation of the requirements of Art. 6 of the law "On combating the misuse of insider information and market manipulation," the regulator recalls.
The materials of the check were transferred by the Central Bank to law enforcement agencies, the regulator said. The head of the main department for combating unfair practices of behavior on the open market of the Central Bank, Valery Lyakh, specified through the press service that the documents had been sent to the Prosecutor General's Office. It was not possible to contact the representative of the Prosecutor General's Office on the evening of March 16. Source in law enforcement agencies confirmed - the application has been received and will be considered.
Other circumstances of insider trading - when transactions were made, the number of shares sold or acquired - the press service of the Central Bank does not disclose.
The loudest message of Sistema for the period indicated by the Central Bank is dated July 15. In it, the AFC announced the arrest of its package in Bashneft. The information was published at 18.00 London time after the close of exchange trading. The next day, on the Moscow Exchange, Sistema's shares fell by 7.74% during the day, and by the close the drop was 6.99%.
In July, Sistema did not publish significant facts either in Russia or on the website of the London Stock Exchange about transactions with the shares of Goncharuk, Buyanov and Nosova. Only in the message of the structure of Vladimir Yevtushenkov dated July 11, it is said that, among other members of the board, Goncharuk received remuneration with shares, and his share increased from 0.1884 to 0.1892%. But the list of affiliates for the III quarter of 2014 says that the share of Goncharuk on July 9 decreased from 0.1884 to 0.008%. The sold stake on quotes that day could cost about $28 million.
The Criminal Code provides for several types of penalties for misuse of insider information, ranging from a fine of 300,000 rubles to imprisonment for up to four years.
Cases of insider trading cases have not been recorded in open databases of courts, says Dmitry Konstantinov, a lawyer at Ilyashev & Partners. So this is the first high-profile insider case.
In Russia, unlike in the West, the practice of owning company shares among managers is practically not common, there are few long-term motivation programs, says Alexander Shevchuk, executive director of the Association of Professional Investors. Therefore, there is less temptation on the part of managers and a precedent for investigating cases of using insider information here.
As follows from the list of affiliates of Sistema, in addition to Goncharuk, shares of AFK have been sold by the president since July 9
