Fans of schizophrenic conspiracy theories can read about this project, created with the support of the International Pirate Party, a series of posts by Dmitry Galkovsky.
Our first joint publication is dedicated to the next Kabaev. I will take the liberty of introducing this term into the modern Russian language. It marks each of Vladimir Putin's many residences built in the 2000s in Russia. To distinguish different "Kabaevs" from each other, I propose to add geographic coordinates to each. Today we will talk about the village of Kabaevo on Mount Fisht (" Moonglade"an area of about 105 hectares).
The experts of the joint mission of UNESCO and IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), who in April 2008 inspected the situation with the preservation of the World Heritage site "Western Caucasus", in their report made the following recommendation to the Government of Russia: "To ensure that the Center "Biosphere", built on Moonglade, will only be used for the management, research and monitoring of the World Heritage Site or to inform visitors and will not be converted into a recreational site." Let's see what kind of center "Biosphere" is, and how Vladimir Putin complies with the UN recommendations.
The ski complex "Lunnaya Polyana" is located in Adygeya on the western slopes of Mount Fisht. Nothing can be built here, because the slopes are included in the territory of the World Natural Heritage site "Western Caucasus". To get around the bans, Putin's ski residence was built under the guise of a training ground for the Biosphere scientific center.
In fact, Lunnaya Polyana is part of the Dagomys recreation complex, which is under the jurisdiction of the Administration of the President of Russia. Rosneft helped build the dacha, and communications were brought there at the expense of the federal budget.
“The Administration of the President of the Russian Federation exercises general management of the project for the construction of the facility “Polygon of the Biosphere Scientific Center ... which is of particular importance,” wrote on September 9, 2006, Presidential Administration Vladimir Kozhin to the Minister natural resources Yuri Trutnev. In this message, Kozhin urges Trutnev to instruct the Federal State Institution "Caucasian State Natural Biosphere Reserve" to sign acts of approval for the construction of the Biosphere Scientific Center on the territory of the reserve and names the customer for the construction - Rosneft Oil Company OJSC.
On September 22, 2006, Kozhin again sent a letter to Trutnev: “On the control of the President Russian Federation there is a road construction from with. Chernigovskoe (Apsheronsky district of the Krasnodar Territory) to the test site of the Biosphere Research Center ... financed by subsidies from the federal budget as part of the implementation of the federal targeted investment program in 2007 with a funding amount of 400.0 million rubles. Kozhin worries that if the work is not started quickly, it will lead "to the impossibility of disbursing federal budget funds and disrupting the execution of the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation by the specified date." Therefore, the Presidential Administration continues, “given the importance of this facility, I ask you to assist in resolving the issue of obtaining permission to carry out design and survey work along the route of the projected road ... which will simplify the future territorial zoning of the Caucasian State Biosphere Reserve with special conditions for the use of the territory” .
By the way, a funny moment: the Russian authorities, even building for themselves, managed to spoil and break everything.
The ski complex was erected on Lunnaya Polyana by Yugoslav builders according to the projects of Finnish specialists. As a result, on the slope of Mount Fisht appeared three-story chalet made of pine timber, which was made on special order in Karelia. All building materials were delivered to Lunnaya Polyana using cargo helicopters. Each Ka-32 made at least 10 flights per day. There were several such helicopters. In 2003, one of the helicopters carrying a team of welders and gas cylinders to Lunnaya Polyana crashed into a sheer cliff and crashed. 9 people died. A year later, another Ka-32 lost a multi-ton load from its suspension, crushing a worker standing on the ground.
Due to mistakes made in the design and in the course of work, the spring water in the local source disappeared, therefore, in 2006, before Easter, when it became known that the then guarantor of the Constitution would fly to Lunnaya Polyana to ski, water was brought to the meadow by helicopters, and tons, in case he (the guarantor) wanted not only to wash his hands, but also to swim in the pool.
There was also a small "Khimki forest": Putin's officials cut down the local protected forest for the construction of a cable car.
The opened picture of the mass destruction of the forest on the territory of the World Natural Heritage site "Western Caucasus" in the valley of the Chigursanka River was impressive. The desert of a cut-out clearing cut through this valley, beginning and ending at the borders of the Caucasian Reserve. What he saw fully confirmed the information that in the summer of 2007. below the Lunnaya Polyana complex in a virgin forest on the territory of the natural monument "Upper reaches of the Pshekha and Pshekhashkha rivers" (part of the Western Caucasus Heritage site) a clearing several hundred meters long and about 30 meters wide was cut down. It is planned to build a cable car here.
The clearing was laid even without any attempt to legitimize this felling - just a strong-willed decision of high-ranking officials behind the project of the Lunnaya Polyana complex, obviously completely confident in their impunity and therefore acting without regard to anything, including Law. As you know, this complex was built for the recreation of the President of Russia on the initiative of the Administration of the President of Russia. The customer and sponsor of the construction is the state company Rosneft.
On the fact of the destruction of the protected forest, a criminal case No. 5070431 was opened, which was soon lost:
The scale of this crime was so great that, despite the highest patronage of the initiators of criminal logging, the foresters of the Kurdzhip forestry were forced to file this forest violation and transfer the material on it to law enforcement agencies. Which, in turn, were forced to start a criminal case on the fact of mass illegal logging. This criminal case was assigned the number 5070431 and the investigation was carried out by the Department of Internal Affairs of the Maikop District of the Republic of Adygea.
The crime was committed in the 35th section of the 52nd quarter of the Tsitsinsky forestry of the Kurdzhip forestry. According to the official materials of this forest violation, 559 beech, sycamore maple, mountain ash and fir trees were cut down there. The damage was determined at 21,195,351 rubles. The felled trees were skidded by helicopter to the territory of the Caucasian Reserve, where they currently continue to lie, scattered over a large area.
After the investigation needed to interrogate high-ranking officials from Moscow who gave the command to cut down, the investigation of the crime took an unexpected turn. Criminal case No. 5070431 at the direction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation was claimed from Adygea and taken to the Ministry. Where, obviously, to the satisfaction of those responsible for this crime, it was put on the brakes.
There is a pleasant moment in all this lawlessness: now we can at least see what kind of biological center Putin's officials have built in the Western Caucasus. In the video above - a tour of it. And before it was forbidden to take pictures even outside. Fortunately, there are no police barriers to the Internet.
“Which of you filmed the object - show cameras!” - commanded a man in a police uniform to a group of tourists passing by a "secret" object. When all images of Moonglade were removed from the cameras, the order followed: "Go and do not stop until you are out of sight."
Trying to justify the corrupt project, Rinat Gizatullin admitted that the road would not be built to Babuk-Aul, but to Mount Fisht. This is where the Lunnaya Polyana resort is located.
The information disseminated by the Environmental Watch in the North Caucasus about two competitions for the right to conclude a state contract for the design of a road to the “weather station of the Caucasian Reserve”, which is going to be built between the village of Solokh-Aul and the cordon of the Babuk-Aul Reserve, due to the fact that in reality the purpose of this road is not a mythical weather station, but the Lunnaya Polyana resort, built for Vladimir Putin's vacation, aroused great media interest.
October 10, 2011 Radio Liberty released a program on this subject called “Weather Station for Putin?” In which Tatyana Akatova, an employee of the Caucasian Reserve, spoke negatively about this project and said that the staff of the reserve did not know anything about it. This indirectly confirms that they are not planning for the Caucasian Reserve. to build this road, and that it is completely unnecessary for the needs, goals and objectives of this specially protected natural area.
But the highlight of the show was an interview with Rinat Gizatullin, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology, who, judging by his knowledge, apparently oversees the project of the road to the “weather station” in the ministry. Gizatullin, who was asked uncomfortable questions about why a non-existent weather station was indicated as the purpose of the construction of the road, and what the Sochi National Park had to do with this construction, moreover given road has nothing to do with its territory, as well as goals and objectives, quickly found something to answer. He acknowledged the existence of inconsistencies, but said that they would soon be eliminated - a weather station, they say, would be built soon - already in 2013, and the Loo forestry, on which they are now planning to build a road, will become part of the Sochi National Park in the future. However, his excuses looked unconvincing and invented on the fly.
It was interesting to hear from a high-ranking official the thesis that the Sochi National Park will NOW design (and spend 150 million rubles at the same time) and build on the territory that may sometime become under his jurisdiction. Despite the fact that now the national park has no right to design and build anything on this territory, since its land user is a completely different institution.
It was no less interesting to hear his information about the weather station of the reserve, "which will be built in 2013." However, none of the employees of the scientific department knows anything about such plans. But before building such an object, which is important for observing natural processes on the territory of the reserve, the issue of it must be discussed by the scientific council of the reserve. But there are no decisions of the scientific council on this subject, moreover, the issue of the reserve's meteorological station on Mount Fisht was not discussed at the scientific council of the reserve. In addition, before construction, it is necessary not only to make a fundamental decision on the need for such construction, but also to carry out the design of such an object.
However, Rinat Gizatulin, who honestly tried to prove the expediency and validity of the construction of the road, nevertheless let slip in his interview. He said that a weather station would appear in the area of Mount Fisht. Thus, he admitted that it was by no means the Babuk-Aul cordon that was the final point for the construction of the road, that they were really going to build it further - to the Fisht-Oshten mountain range through virgin forests and alpine meadows of the Caucasian Reserve. In fact, he said that they were going to build the road exactly to Moonglade. Since it is located right there - on the slope of Mount Fisht.
These revelations of his about the construction of a weather station in 2013 and about the fact that it will be on Mount Fisht are worth a lot. The fact is that Moonglade already has a weather station used for the resort's own needs. In the conditions of wide publicity of the fact of the absence of any weather station of the “Caucasian Reserve” in the area where they are going to build the road, this existing weather station is completely easy to “build” in 2013. And arrange it in such a way that it is supposedly a weather station of the Caucasian Reserve. After all, Lunnaya Polyana, which is disguised under the euphonious name of the Biosphere Research Center, was once created at the Caucasian Reserve.
According to Wikipedia, the President of the Russian Federation has only 4 official residences, the main of which is the Moscow Kremlin.
But it is clear that in fact there are many more of them. Today we will tell you about 16 real palaces that Vladimir Putin controls.
1. Novo-Ogarevo. The residence is located just ten kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road, in the forest between Rublevo-Uspenskoye Highway and the Moskva River. The estate is surrounded by a six-meter wall, and the entrance to outsiders, of course, is closed.
1. Novo-Ogarevo. On the territory there are several residential buildings, a helipad, a swimming pool, greenhouses, a poultry house, a stable and much more.

5. Amber. The facility is located in the city of Pionersky, Kaliningrad Region, and consists of a five-star hotel, as well as an administrative building, with a total area of 10,000 square meters. The construction of the residence cost the state 6 billion rubles.
6. Palace in Gelendzhik. This luxurious palace is located in the village of Praskoveevka near Gelendzhik. It was built specifically for the personal use of V. Putin, which caused a scandal at the time.
6. Palace in Gelendzhik. The cost of the building is approximately 1 billion dollars. In addition to the main building, there is a health complex, a heliport, a "tea house", elevators to the beach...
7. Milovka. This ancient estate once belonged to the noble family of the Gorbunov-Chernevs. For a long time it was in disrepair, until in 2008, after restoration, V. Putin began to rest in it. The photo shows the interior of the estate after a major overhaul.
8. Bocharov stream. The summer residence of the Russian president is located in the city of Sochi on the Black Sea coast. On the territory of the villa, as well as in other "dachas", there is a helipad.

9. Small source. The villa is located in a picturesque forest area on the banks of the Malo-Istoksky pond in the suburbs of Yekaterinburg. The village itself would not have been known if it were not for the presidential dacha located here, the entrance to which is, of course, closed to outsiders. Therefore, the photo shows only the entrance to the estate.
9. Small source. The village itself would not have been known if it were not for the presidential dacha located here, the entrance to which is, of course, closed to outsiders. Therefore, the photo shows only the entrance to the estate.
10. Konstantinovsky Palace. In addition to the fact that this palace is the so-called dacha of the president, it is also an architectural monument of the 18th century.
10. Konstantinovsky Palace. The complex is located in Strelna near St. Petersburg and covers an area of 140 hectares, on which there are more than 40 different buildings.

14. Pines. This is a complex of villas located on the banks of the Yenisei, just a 30-minute drive from Krasnoyarsk.
14. Pines. During the last reconstruction, the main building was covered with marble, which was specially brought from Khakassia. A helipad was also built on the territory of the residence.
15. Moonglade. Putin's unofficial dacha is a real VIP resort. It is located on Mount Fisht in the Republic of Adygea.
15. Moonglade. By the way, this is the "Western Caucasus" world natural heritage zone and construction is prohibited here, but it was disguised as a scientific center test site. Several chalets, helipads, ski slopes, cable cars - everything for a good holiday is here.
16. Long Beards - Valdai. The estate on the lake Valdai, the area of which is as much as 930 hectares. On the territory of the residence there is a presidential church, a swimming pool, restaurants, a cinema hall, a bowling alley and, of course, a heliport. However, such a huge territory is served by only 100 people.
These are not all the palaces that he manages Russian President, there is also the Altai Compound, the House of Sevastyanov, the House of the Distinguished Guest ... Probably, this list can be continued, but alas, such information is not available to the general public.
Fraer's greed will destroy. And where then all this his property? He is not a worm, which is alive in his fragments.
I decided to tell this sad story after watching Putin's latest interview where he was compared to Roosevelt. Jarred. Below are published for the first time many of the documents we have collected over many years of fighting against the illegal construction of the Lunnaya Polyana residence. Roosevelt in his America never dreamed of such a thing.
The story began back in the 1980s, when Sochi rescuers built a strange-looking hut on the western slope of Mount Fisht. With the light hand of the rescuers, the area around the hut was called "Moonglade". In the 1990s former lifeguard Grigory Gorlov organized a hotel for tourists in the hut.
This hut until recently stood near the main building.
According to Gorlov, already in 2000, the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation began to show interest in the hotel, in the bowels of which it was decided to build a ski resort for the main lover of skiing in the country. Gorlov's hut was visited by business manager Vladimir Kozhin and officials from the Federal Security Service of Russia, and by 2001 the Lunnaya Polyana hotel was taken over by the Dagomys sports and recreation complex owned by the Administrative Department.
All that remained was to find a way to get around the law in order to build a resort on the territory of the reserve. They gave instructions to the Ministry of Natural Resources, and such a method was found.
On December 4, 2002, Vitaly Artyukhov, the former deputy minister of road construction, whom Putin put in charge of the Ministry of Natural Resources, signed an order to organize a “research and technology center as part of the Caucasian State Natural Biosphere Reserve” .About the nature of the future scientific work testified to the requirement "to take into account the needs of the units of the Federal Security Service of Russia and the Ministry of Emergency Situations" when preparing a plan for the location of the facility. Nothing is said about the needs of other scientific institutions in the order.
In 2002, the state company Rosneft was appointed as an investor in the ski resort, and Vladimir Kozhin, the manager, personally supervised the issue from the side of the Administration.Scientific Center "Biosphere"
The construction of a "scientific center" for Vladimir Putin literally began to boil in 2003, all building materials and workers were brought to the mountains by helicopters. The “Research and Technology Center as part of the Caucasian State Natural Biosphere Reserve”, which appeared in Artyukhov’s order, was renamed by the Administrative Department into the Biosphere Scientific Center (NC). Below, for the first time, its official scheme, obtained by us from the designers, is published.Construction was accompanied by numerous meetings between builders and officials. We have the minutes of the meeting that took place on July 13, 2004 at the Sochi airport with the participation of Rosneft Vice President Nikolai Borisenko.
It becomes clear from the protocol that by the summer of 2004, the foundation of the Biosphere-1 facility (the residence itself) was completed in the Lunnaya Polyana tract, and the construction of the so-called. dormitories "Biosphere-2" (premises for FSO employees). The construction was attended by a Russian representative of the Finnish company Honka, which supplied prefabricated wooden structures for the residence, as well as Croatian Emir Kecho, the owner of Kecho Invest Engineering, close to the then president of Rosneft Bogdanchikov, which later disgraced itself in Nefteyugansk
Helicopter accidents
Not far from the village of Solokh-Aul, Rosneft built a base with a helipad, from where helicopters still deliver all the necessary materials for the construction and operation of Lunnaya Polyana. Until 2010, helicopters made several dozen flights a day.The first disaster occurred already on September 4, 2003, when a PANH helicopter crashed into the top of Mount Fisht. 3 crew members and 6 passengers were killed.
In 2004, a worker was killed by a load that fell from the suspension of a helicopter.
On September 26, 2010, an Aero-Kamov helicopter crashed right next to the residence. Two crew members were killed, the third was pulled out by workers.
How land was taken away from the Caucasian Reserve
From the very beginning, the construction of Lunnaya Polyana was illegal, since its project did not pass the state environmental review.At the operational meeting mentioned above on July 13, 2004, for the first time, the Caucasus Reserve was demanded "to the maximum short time» transfer to free use health complex "Dagomys" a land plot of 40 hectares, with its subsequent expansion for the construction of the 2nd stage of the facility. The Department of Affairs no longer wanted to carry out illegal construction of the Biosphere Scientific Center on the lands owned by the Ministry of Natural Resources.
Immediately after the meeting, Rosneft transferred money to the reserve for land management and boundary surveying in the Republic of Adygea. Already in 2005, a miracle happened - it turned out that the Lunnaya Polyana tract with an area of 105.7 hectares is not part of the reserve, but is located on the lands of the Adygea reserve. Moreover, the boundaries of the tract in a strange way coincided with the contours of the land plot necessary for the construction of a ski resort. However, until September 2006, the Caucasian Reserve did not agree on the land deal.Finally, Vladimir Kozhin sent a letter to Minister Trutnev urging him to expedite the transfer of the reserve's lands to a "particularly important facility."
The reasons why the Dinamil Reserve did not sign land documents were set out in a letter from its director, Sergei Shevelev, to Deputy Minister of Natural Resources, Sergei Say.
In addition to 105 hectares for the construction of the complex, Rosneft asked the reserve for another 400 hectares for the road to Lunnaya Polyana, and the authorities of Adygea decided to take away almost 10 thousand hectares under the guise of "clarifying the borders."
"Budget" roads to Putin's mountain residence
The fact that it is dangerous to deliver the President's body by helicopter became clear after the first accident in 2003 (see above). According to the requirements of the Federal Security Service, a land road is required to the object, and preferably two. The following is a chronology of subsequent events.
End of 2005. Putin decided that he would come to Lunnaya Polyana from the north, from Maykop Airport.
January 17, 2006. A meeting was held at the Ministry of Transport, where it was determined that the financing of the new road Chernigovskaya-NTs "Biosfera" will be carried out at the expense of the federal budget and the budget of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation - Adygea and the Krasnodar Territory, which will receive appropriate subsidies. The road builders wanted to open through traffic to Lunnaya Polyana on a gravel road by the end of 2006, and then pave the entire route with asphalt.February 2006 Justification of investments in the construction of the road, prepared North Caucasian branch of JSC GIPRODORNII for the money of Rosneft, passed all the approvals, but received a negative conclusion from the Glavgospertiza. However, Adygea and the Krasnodar Territory approved the assignment for the design of the road, in which it was divided into 5 launch complexes.
September 2006 The Ministry of Natural Resources received a letter from Vladimir Kozhin demanding that surveyors be allowed into the reserve to build a road to Lunnaya Polyana.
December 2006 The act of choosing a land plot for the construction of the road, including the lands of the reserve, was approved.
February 2007 Project 1 of the start-up complex passed the construction expertise and was approved by the authorities of Adygea.There was no mention in the tender documentation that the road would first pass through the natural monument “Upper reaches of the Pshekha and Pshekhashkha rivers”, and then in the Caucasian Reserve. Both protected areas are part of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage "Western Caucasus", where it is forbidden to build roads.
June 2007
Without a formal construction permit, work began on the 1st launch complex. At the same time, barbaric "sanitary" cuttings are being carried out around the road within the limits of the natural monument "Upper reaches of the rivers Pshekha and Pshekhashkha". The unique forest is disfigured and resembles a battlefield.
July 30, 2007. A tender has been announced for the construction of the 2nd start-up complex, from the village of Chernigovskoye in the Krasnodar Territory to the border of Adygea.
August 2007. The World Natural Heritage Center sent a letter to the representative of Russia at UNESCO, in which he expressed concern about the situation with the construction of the road and illegal logging on the territory of the Western Caucasus heritage site.August 24, 2007. The Caucasian Reserve refused to agree on the withdrawal of land for the construction of the 1st launch complex.
September 19, 2007. A permit was issued for the construction of the 1st launch complex.October 2007
The technological road has been laid to the border of the Caucasian Reserve, intensive logging continues. The winner of the tender for the construction of the 2nd start-up complex was Krasnodaravtodorservis LLC.
November 19, 2007. Meeting with the prime minister of Adygea, where it was decided to draw a road that allegedly existed since the 1920s in the forest management documentation, and then change the passport of a natural monument in order to ensure the possibility of its "reconstruction". Subsequently, the changes in the passport were declared illegal by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.
March 2, 2008. Dmitry Medvedev was elected President of the Russian Federation.
April 19, 2008.
On the initiative of Ecological Watch and Greenpeace Russia, the UNESCO World Heritage Center sent a mission to assess the threats to the "Western Caucasus". Experts were shocked by how lumberjacks and road builders mutilated virgin forests in the upper reaches of the Pshekha River and expressed their complaints to the authorities in a very harsh manner.
June 6, 2008. Meeting of members of the public with the Minister of Natural Resources Trutnev in Sochi. A protocol was signed, including a demand to stop work within the Western Caucasus World Heritage Site.
June 26, 2008. Joint inspection of the Ecological Watch and Moscow officials of Rosprirodnadzor. Work on the construction of the road on the territory of Adygea was finally stopped. As a result of the inspection, Georgy Kozmenko, head of the Office of Rosprirodnadzor for Adygea, was dismissed.
July 6, 2008. In Quebec, at the 32nd session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, decision No. 32 COM 7B.25 was adopted. Russian authorities recommended oto initiate further construction of the road to Lunnaya Glade and to ensure that it is not further widened, paved and made available for recreational use."July 2008 Work is underway to "conserve" 1 launch complex. Construction of the 2nd complex continues.
August 2009. 2nd launch complex in Krasnodar Territory completed. Bridges have been built and 12 km of paved highway has been laid to the border of Adygea, then a broken gravel road continues.September 2011
Putin announced his desire to become President. Competitions have been announced for the design of a new, "southern" version of the road to Lunnaya Polyana With "budget" roads it is easier, their cost can be found in the tender documentation. The cost of building the first start-up complex alone in the prices of the first quarter of 2006 would have amounted to 1.2 billion rubles, of which 495 million were spent on the first stage of construction and "conservation". The cost of the second launch complex, which was fully built, is 900 million rubles.
Adding up all the figures, we can safely say that the cost of building a mountain residence for Putin exceeded 5 billion rubles, of which at least 2 billion were direct investments from the budget. It is impossible to calculate the damage to the unique nature, but according to the official methods of calculation, it will amount to more than 500 million rubles.
Today Putin said: if I undertake something, I try to bring the matter either to its logical conclusion, or, at least, to bring this matter to the maximum effect.Therefore, to the amount of expenses for Lunnaya Polyana, we can safely add another 2-3 billion for the construction of a new road through the Caucasian Reserve.
