The large original wood-burning fireplace with granite cladding attracts attention.
The kitchen is implemented in a warm milky white design. The entrance is framed by floor-to-ceiling white columns, and airy curtains hang on the windows.
Yesterday, the richest businesswoman in Russia, the wife of former Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov, Elena Baturina
lost its last hope of suing €70 million in the High Court of London from the ex-deputy chairman of the board of
FGC UES
, owner of Hermitage Construction & Management Group
Alexander Chistyakov
.
On the one hand, the judge agreed that the husband of the singer Glukoza
did not fulfill all of his obligations to build a hotel in Morocco, but questioned whether a woman with a fortune of $1 billion was so incompetent that she allowed herself to be fooled by her husband. business partner. British justice quite accurately determined the essence of what happened: Chistyakov and Baturina invested in an initially adventurous project, understanding all its risks, and its collapse was quite expected.
In a statement of claim filed in 2013, Baturina claimed that she was the victim of a major fraud: in 2007, Chistyakov misled her about the prospects of a real estate construction project in Morocco and failed to fulfill an obligation on a joint project, as a result of which she suffered damages of almost €100 million
. In 2008, Baturina and Chistyakov entered into an agreement, according to which the parties pledged to provide 65 and 35% of investments in the project, receiving corresponding shares in it. Chistyakov was to lead the project. Construction never began, and in 2012 Baturina initiated an audit. It turned out that only a small part of the loans provided for the project by Baturina’s structures went to the account of the Moroccan company Andros Bay, which was supposed to be involved in the project. The rest of the money turned out to be transferred to offshore companies, including €5 million to Ridgegrove Investments Ltd, a company registered in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), of which Chistyakov was the beneficiary. The businessman himself did not provide financing, Baturina pointed out. In a lawsuit filed in the High Court of London, she asked to terminate the agreement and return almost €98 million to her, including damages and interest. Later, Baturina reduced the amount of claims to €74 million, waiving interest. Chistyakov lost a claim against the BVI for €5 million, in which Baturina accused Chistyakov of withdrawing this money to offshore companies associated with him. Now this money is being recovered from Sylmord Trade Inc., which received financing, which, in turn, is in the process of liquidation. She is also the owner of land in Morocco.
Previously, according to representatives of Luzhkov’s wife, Chistyakov insisted that the trial take place in Russia, but due to the fact that Elena has been living in London in recent years and is a British taxpayer, it was decided to move the litigation to the capital of Foggy Albion. At the same time, Chistyakov ignored the fact that he himself is the chairman of the board of RusPetro, whose shares are listed on the British Stock Exchange.
Chistyakov denied all accusations. The money contributed by Baturina was used to buy out land plots and compensate for investments already made in the project by other participants, the businessman told Vedomosti. According to him, although the agreement with Baturina talked about 35% in the joint venture, he personally owned only 8.5%, and the rest was owned by his three partners - Andrei Krupnov, who was involved in development in Morocco, and two Moroccan businessmen. The reason for the failure of the project was the economic crisis, problems with attracting bank loans, the Moroccan government’s refusal to create infrastructure, etc., Chistyakov believes.
The judge of the High Court of London agreed that Chistyakov did not fully fulfill his obligations under the contract with Baturina, but did not come to the conclusion that these actions made it impossible to implement the project. The losses incurred by Baturina cannot be calculated based on the materials presented, the judge decided. She cleared Chistyakov of fraud charges, noting that Baturina and Chistyakov are experienced players who decided to jointly engage in a highly speculative foreign real estate project, but did not receive the expected profit: “This was an inherent risk.”
Baturina is satisfied with the establishment of the fact that the ex-partner failed to fulfill key obligations under the contract in terms of financing the project, but is upset that the court was unable to determine the amount of damage to be compensated, said her lawyer Michel Duncan. Now, according to him, other possible options for compensation for the losses she has suffered are being considered. The fact of partial non-fulfillment of obligations by Chistyakov does not automatically mean that Baturina suffered losses, argues the Chairman of the Arbitration Court of Moscow and the Moscow Region, Oleg Sukhov: the court considered that the presence of other unfavorable circumstances and the recency of the events do not allow us to establish whether Baturina suffered losses, and if they did, then in what size.
As previously reported by the Ruspres
, Chistyakov’s surname was mentioned in the context of the “Panamanian scandal”.
Journalists from the French Le Monde and the Swiss Le Matin Dimanche, working with the archives of the Mossack Fonseca company, indicated that at least €13 million from the “Moroccan project” were directed by Alexander Chistyakov to the accounts of three offshore companies registered through this company, all of which were managed by one and the same provider company based in Geneva. One of the three companies - Joyton International SA - is also mentioned in connection with "suspicious" documents used to further conceal at least €5 million in the accounts of two more companies - this time Cypriot ones. The authorized representative of Joyton International is Vladimir Shestakov - previously known a judo athlete, and now Chernyakov’s colleague in the energy business (heads Novo-Ryazan Thermal Power Plant LLC). Two more offshore companies, Englobe and Rogers, which cost €8 million, are considered to be connected with the former owner of the network of St. Petersburg fitness clubs, and now co-owner of the Podium chain, Vadim Raskovalov
.
His wife Yana Raskovalova, a designer and fashion jeweler, is better known to the general public. It is significant that the Chistyakovs and the Raskovalovs have been family friends for many years - Chistyakov’s wife, singer Natalya Ionova (Glukoza)
, was an honorary witness at the Raskovalovs’ tenth wedding anniversary. Those. in this case, we are also hardly talking about a simple coincidence; the money really went to “the same” Raskovalov.
Description of the page: Chistyakov husband glucose biography from professionals for people.
Natasha Ionova, whom we better know as the singer Glukoza, matured early. At the age of 15, she broke into the world of show business, and already at 19 she met the man of her life, with whom she is married to this day.
Meeting your future wife
In 2006, Alexander Nikolaevich bought not only a plane ticket to the Chechen Republic, but also for personal happiness. On board the same air transport was nineteen-year-old Natalya, known to everyone as Glucose.
Alexander was 33 years old at that time, but age did not become an obstacle to sympathy, and then great love. The couple owe their acquaintance to Ksenia Sobchak, who introduced them to each other.
A month and a half after the start of the affair with the entrepreneur, Natalya moves in with him. His son from his first marriage, also Sasha, lived in Alexander’s house. The boy and Natasha quickly became friends, and to this day they have a wonderful relationship.
Apartment in St. Petersburg
Alexander completely thought through the situation in St. Petersburg, the wife only expressed special wishes, and the husband and the designer took care of everything else. Actually, there were only two wishes: a transparent dressing room and a separate bathroom.
Living space 213 sq. meters is located in a historical building.
The kitchen is designed in a monochrome style and is combined with a spacious dining room. The set was brought from England, and in the dining room, above the dining table and velor chairs, hangs an original crystal chandelier, a wedding gift.
The dining area is adjacent to a glassed-in balcony - one of Natalia’s favorite places. It’s nice to drink coffee and a croissant here in the morning and admire the golden spire of the Engineering Castle. Large curtains hang on the windows - this is also one of GlukoZa’s whims.
The walls and floor of the bathroom are framed with black marble and mosaics. By removing the partition between the master and guest bedrooms, the architects were able to accommodate the second bathroom with sauna that Glucose wanted.
In the guest room, stylized in the Chinese style, next to the entrance there is a mirror, striking in its beauty and size, framed in a carved gilded frame.
The soft living room is adjacent to the study; at the intersection there is a sculpture of a samurai, the work of Dasha Namdakov, V.V.’s favorite master. Putin.
The guest bedroom looks very warm and calm.
The second bedroom is sunnier due to the yellow walls.
Wedding and children
In the same 2006, the couple announced their engagement and signed soon. Glucose said that it was she who initiated the creation of a family, inviting Sasha to become her husband.
One fine day, the girl told her partner that she would be the best wife, and if Chistyakov did not marry her, he would lose a lot. Everything was said in a joking manner, and Alexander, taking the hint, went to buy wedding rings.
Today the couple has two daughters - Lydia and very tiny Verochka. Alexander Jr. lives with them; he loves his sisters, father and stepmother, whom he often accompanies at events.
Glucose Instagram
The girl has pages on Twitter, Vkontakte, and Instagram. Glucose often visits these resources, sharing information and news about himself and his family with subscribers. For example, on Instagram, the singer very often publishes photographs of her daughters, shares the secrets of a happy marriage, beauty, proper makeup, and posts various videos. Often piquant photos appear on her pages, which, as Glukoza assures, are part of the image.
A photo shoot for a men's magazine, where the star posed completely naked, caused a strong reaction among her Instagram subscribers. People criticized the star, considering such behavior inappropriate for a mother of two daughters, a woman who bears the name of a famous businessman. The actress does not agree with them: according to her, such a shooting was expected and justified the stage image of Glucose.
Joint yoga classes
Natalya has been interested in and practicing yoga for a long time. Immediately after meeting the entrepreneur, the girl began to involve him in this business.
Alexander Chistyakov did not resist at all, and over time he stopped imagining life without classes.
The couple always works out together. They explain that such joint exercises strengthen relationships and spiritual connections, so they almost never fight.
Peace, harmony and happiness reign in this friendly family. Alexander does not forbid Natasha from doing her work, and even helps her in this difficult task. The singer says that without his support she would not have managed this!
Apartment in Moscow
The living space is located on the twenty-third floor in the famous “House on the Embankment” (Serafimovicha Street). Rooms: front door, kitchen-dining room, living room and bedroom.
The overall design is in white, gray and black colors with red accents. Brick walls are painted with plaster.
For variety, the interior contains unusual elements: a huge scarab or a magnificent aquarium in the living room.
The kitchen is also done in black and white with lots of cabinets. In the dining room, the emphasis is on chairs in red tones.
In the bedroom, along with black and light, there is a red accent in the bedside tables and chest of drawers on the entire wall.
The bathroom is completely decorated in black design with marble.
The family practically does not use the capital’s living space; now Ionova’s grandmother lives there.
According to CIAN, prices for three-room housing at 2 Serafimovicha Street start at 40 million rubles.
Producer and screenwriter
It’s not just business in the oil sector that attracts Alexander Chistyakov. Glucose's husband and successful entrepreneur has recently begun to get involved in art. He took on the role of screenwriter and producer and did an excellent job.
The businessman’s debut work was the script for the cartoon “Savva. Heart of a Warrior" and its production. It was in 2020, and Alexander really liked this work. The picture turned out to be really interesting and successful.
Alexander cannot seriously engage in creativity, because he has a serious business that takes a lot of time. The entrepreneur considers script writing a hobby that brings in additional income.
This year a new cartoon “Baba Yaga” will appear on the screens. Alexander Chistyakov again undertook to produce the story of this middle-aged woman.
This is the kind of person Alexander is: a successful businessman, an excellent husband and father. He has everything for happiness!
So different
After the wedding and the birth of her daughters, the outrageous Glucose changed a lot - she became feminine, softer and calmer. Jeans and boots with thick soles were thrown out of the wardrobe, feminine, sometimes very bold and revealing, but still dresses appeared.
Having interrupted her creative activity for a while, Glucose returned to the stage, but in a new look.
True, show business dictates its own laws, but the husband accepts the rules of the game and understands Natasha. An indicative case was when all of secular and semi-secular Moscow (and not only Moscow) discussed the provocative image of Ionova, in which she appeared at one of the events.
It was a presentation of the new U-Boat watch, in the creation of which the Hollywood actor, now Russian, Steven Seagal took part. Glucose appeared at the presentation in a dress with a deep neckline and without underwear. When asked by journalists how the husband reacted to discussions, not always flattering, about his wife’s toilets, Glyukoza said that the husband often does not know what his wife left and came home in. “He doesn’t read women’s magazines, and Izvestia, unfortunately, doesn’t publish me,” she jokes. True, Alexander did not like the candid photo shoot in Maxim magazine. He expressed dissatisfaction, but interfered.
Natalya speaks of her husband as a very decent, well-mannered and intelligent person. And in every interview she expresses sincere joy that she is so lucky.
