Policy

The socio-political activities of the entrepreneur at one time were based solely on protecting the interests of the United Jewish Community of Ukraine, which he headed in 2008. But at the beginning of 2014, he managed to reach the top ranks of the Ukrainian government and become the governor of the Dnepropetrovsk region. Then he promised not to do business, but to plunge into politics, which never happened.

Petro Poroshenko and Igor Kolomoisky
Kolomoisky's governorship occurred during the period of the coup in Ukraine, when Petro Poroshenko came to power, whose policies did not correspond to the interests of the Ukrainian oligarch. At the same time, in the east of the country, an armed conflict began among citizens of the Lugansk and Donetsk regions with the new Kyiv government.

After signing the law on the introduction of anti-terrorist operation in Donbass, Kolomoisky took part in organizing, sponsoring and controlling a special operation in the south-eastern region of the country, since all of his metallurgical assets are largely concentrated there.

A year later, a conflict arose between Kolomoisky and Poroshenko, centered around 50% of the shares of which belongs to the state. The Ukrainian oligarch, with the help of armed machine gunners and loud threats to the government, tried to protect his business interests, for which he received a reprimand for violating professional ethics.

Igor Kolomoisky
At the beginning of 2014, Igor Valerievich and the current head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov were put on the international wanted list by the Russian Investigative Committee. The oligarch and the official are suspected of organizing murders, kidnappings, obstructing legitimate journalistic activities and using prohibited methods of warfare, which they used at all stages of the armed confrontation in eastern Ukraine.

In March 2020, the Ukrainian leader signed a decree on Kolomoisky’s resignation from the governor’s post, after which the billionaire announced that he was leaving politics forever and would focus on his life’s work. Igor Valerievich moved to live abroad. Now he spends most of his time in Switzerland and Israel.

What kind of business does he own?

Kolomoisky’s business interests are varied: from oil and ferroalloys to ski resorts (in particular, in Semmering in Austria and Bukovel in Ukraine) and air transportation.

Now Kolomoisky is in sixth place among Ukrainians in the ranking of the richest people on the planet in 2020 according to Forbes magazine. With a capital of $1.1 billion , he ranked 1,941 on the overall list. A year earlier, Kolomoisky was fifth in the Ukrainian rankings with a similar condition. In 2020, his net worth was estimated at 1.3 billion.

Today Kolomoisky owns a significant number of assets in Ukrainian and international companies . The most significant of them: - Ferroalloy plants of Nikopol, Stakhanov and Zaporozhye; — “Ukrnafta”; — “1+1 media”; — “Ukrainian International Airlines”.

Also has shares in JKX Oil & Gas (a British oil production company), Central European Media Enterprises (which controls 1+1) and in global offshore companies, particularly in Cyprus.

According to a number of media reports, Kolomoisky’s patron and business partner was Pavel Lazarenko , who in the 90s held a number of high government posts in the Dnipropetrovsk region, and later became the Prime Minister of Ukraine.

What is known about Kolomoisky’s wealth and assets?

Igor Kolomoisky is the founder of the industrial and financial group Privat. The businessman also controls the largest media group in Ukraine “1+1 Media”, which includes TV channels “1+1”, “1+1 International”, “2+2”, “TET”, “PlusPlus”, “Unian-TV” and "Curlers." He owns a number of Ukrainian online media, including the TCH.ua news portal and the UNIAN news agency.

According to the magazine “New Time”, Kolomoisky ranks fifth in the ranking of the richest citizens of Ukraine. His fortune is estimated at $1.6 billion. After the Revolution of Dignity in 2014-2015, Kolomoisky headed the Dnipropetrovsk regional state administration, but due to a conflict with the country’s leadership, he left this position and went abroad. Kolomoisky has three citizenships: Ukraine, Cyprus and Israel.

"Privatbank"

The founders of Privatbank in 1992 were four, Sentosa LLC, Som LLC and Privat-intertrading CJSC. Sergei Tigipko became chairman of the board, and the supervisory board was headed by Leonid Miloslavsky . However, a large percentage of all shares still belonged to Kolomoisky. According to him, in 2005 his share was 30%.

The fact that Privatbank has grown into a large industrial and financial empire is credited by many to Kolomoisky, his leadership qualities and financial capabilities. The assets of the Privat group included more than 100 enterprises, both Ukrainian and around the world.

Building the industrial and financial empire of Igor Kolomoisky

Soon, Igor Valerievich’s leadership qualities and his considerable financial capabilities by that time created the prerequisites for the creation of a large industrial and financial empire, where his personal contribution was not only financial; Kolomoisky took an active part in making decisions for this corporation. It was conventionally called “Privat”. Initially, in 1992, he was one of the founders of PrivatBank Bank. The bank was founded by four companies. In 2005, in one of his interviews, Kolomoisky reported that his share in this bank was thirty percent. The post of Chairman of the Board was held by Sergei Tigipko. Who, having gone into politics, sold his share in this group.

In the fiercest competition during the voucher privatization, the Privat group managed to significantly expand its assets. Thus, Igor Valerievich began to control the Ozerki city market, the coke plant, the ferroalloy plant in Nikopol and a number of other large enterprises. All strategic and important decisions of the Privat group were made not without the participation of Kolomoisky, and the ferroalloy business was almost completely transferred to the individual management of Igor Valerievich. It should be noted that his business interests were already extremely multifaceted in those years.

Charity and social activities

Thanks to Igor Kolomoisky, the historical Hurva synagogue (Jerusalem) was revived and the repairs of the tunnels under the Western Wall . In 2010, he became president of the European Council of Jewish Communities for 5 years.

He was also involved in the creation of the Mystetskyi Arsenal in Kiev. Dnipro football and basketball clubs , as well as the Budivelnik . In 2013, Kolomoisky also financed the football clubs “Krivbass” (Krivoy Rog), “Volyn” (Lutsk) and “Arsenal” (Kyiv).

Monetary philosophy of Kolomoisky

In the program “Visiting Dmitry Gordon,” the Ukrainian billionaire admitted that he tries not to keep money in banks, prefers mainly to invest in enterprises, and buys up shares.

Kolomoisky also said that he never felt like a billionaire and, like all rich people, did not keep track of how much he managed to accumulate.

Igor Valerievich does not chase brands; he prefers clothes to be comfortable, first of all, and does not wear expensive watches. He also lives in rented apartments, considering this option very convenient: “When it’s yours, you have to think about it all the time, who will clean it, who will do the laundry, who will wash the floors, but I’m not always in one place. A rented apartment means freedom.”

Kolomoisky is involved in charity work, although he tries not to advertise it. Thus, it was he who sponsored the construction of the new Yad Vashem Memorial in Israel, participated in the revival of the Jerusalem Hurva synagogue, etc.

The oligarch was also the president of the United Jewish Community of Ukraine, which regularly provides assistance to Jewish victims of Nazism.

Kolomoisky and politics

In 2005, Kolomoisky supported the Orange Revolution and, according to him, then spent about $5 million to help the Maidan, the money was channeled through channels controlled by him. After the revolution he supported Yushchenko.

Kolomoisky himself says that in 2006, Viktor Yanukovych personally offered him a place on the Party of Regions list , but he refused. In one interview he stated that he never supported the regionalists and communists, but in his views he was more of a socialist-democrat.

At the beginning of 2014, by decree of the then acting... O. Ukrainian President Alexander Turchynov Kolomoisky was appointed chairman of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration . The day after his appointment, he presented his program and promised to speak Ukrainian. As a method of combating separatism in the eastern regions of Ukraine, he proposed appointing large oligarchs to leadership positions there.

Igor Kolomoisky in public service

A major Ukrainian entrepreneur entered the public service in 2014 - he was appointed governor of his native Dnepropetrovsk region. He took office on March 3 and made a promise to the region's public not to engage in business.

Soon, Igor Valerievich made a proposal to install a two-meter barbed wire wall on the border with Russia; he also called for the nationalization of the property of pro-Russian oligarchs, as well as for the transfer of three districts of the Donetsk region under the jurisdiction of his region.

During the conflict and aggravation of the situation in the eastern part of Ukraine, the governor of the Dnepropetrovsk region found support from a number of Ukrainian organizations and political parties. He organized his own volunteer formations - these are battalions such as “Dnepr” and “Sturm”.

Position regarding the war in Donbass

At the beginning of hostilities in Eastern Ukraine, Kolomoisky proposed confiscating the property and factories of separatist supporters . According to his proposal, the property should have been transferred to the management of a specially created joint-stock company, and the shares should have been distributed to ATO participants.

He said that at least in the Dnepropetrovsk region, separatism will not work and promised to pay 10 thousand dollars for each Russian saboteur transferred to Ukraine.

Kolomoisky promised to pay 500 thousand dollars to the one who would deliver the then separatist leader Oleg Tsarev to Ukrainian law enforcement agencies.

Kolomoisky is the main newsmaker

Today, the news feed of news agencies is replete with news about Igor Kolomoisky. As soon as the oligarch returned to Ukraine, he gave a series of interviews, which were divided into quotes. So, now everyone is discussing his proposal to declare a default in Ukraine.

The oligarch refers to the experience of Greece and Argentina, which at one time did not pay off their debts, but this only benefited the countries. Kolomoisky is confident that if he does not agree to the IMF’s terms and declare a default, this will only contribute to a speedy restart of the public finance system.

According to the latest news in 2020, Kolomoisky is going to prepare a new project for the upcoming elections to the Verkhovna Rada.

He also intends to regain PrivatBank. Earlier it became known that Kolomoisky supported Vladimir Zelensky in the elections and said that this is exactly the kind of president Ukraine needs, since he is a symbol of generational change in the country (video).

Voluntary expulsion from Ukraine

Igor Kolomoisky has not been to Ukraine since June 2020. He most recently lived in Israel, where he moved in the fall of 2020 from Switzerland.

A year before the presidential elections, he explained his reluctance to go to Ukraine by the fact that he might simply not be allowed to leave the country.

Few things will come to the minds of the National Bank or PrivatBank. They will go to court, for example, and say that I owe them a million hryvnia - and I will be able to come, but I won’t be able to leave... First you won’t leave, and then they will start calling you in for interrogation. Here in Geneva, as an honest person, I go to interrogations by the Prosecutor General’s Office or NABU - when they come, I cooperate with the investigation,” the oligarch noted.

According to him, Ukrainian law enforcement agencies had no complaints against him, but interrogated him as a witness.

On May 16 he returned to Kiev. This is associated with a change of power in the country.

Personal life of Igor Kolomoisky

Igor Kolomoisky and Vera Brezhneva

It is known that Igor Valerievich is a citizen of two countries - Israel and Ukraine. As a charity in Israel, he made a significant contribution to the restoration of national shrines. Kolomoisky is married. His wife's name is Irina. The wedding took place when he was only twenty years old. They have two adult children - Angelica and Gregory. Since 2000, his family has lived almost constantly in Geneva.

It is known that in Russia in early July a court decision was made to arrest (in absentia) Igor Valerievich. His lawyers intend to appeal this decision.

Press statements

Already in July 2006, Kolomoisky said that he owned approximately 46% of the total shares of his own bank, and in 2007, during a journalistic investigation, it was noted that he owned 41% of the shares of this bank, as well as many blocks of shares six Ukrainian oblenergos (approximately 20% in each), while together with his partners he also owns 41% of the shares of Ukrnafta and many others. In particular, he owns a controlling stake in Galicia and others.

In the same 2007, it was said that the Privat group has about 20% of the total production capacity in the production of ferroalloys around the world, and in December of this year, Igor Kolomoisky (photo shown above) entered the business of Alexander Abramov’s Evraz Group and Roman Abramovich (the media said that he owns up to 10% of the company’s shares). The total value of all enterprises belonging to the Privat group at the moment was more than $13 billion.

In 2009, the Privatbank website posted information regarding its shareholders, which stated that 49% of all company shares belong to Igor Kolomoisky, while 48% belongs to his partner Bogolyubov. That is why Bogolyubov was always known as an equal partner of this businessman, and it was also known that they had been cooperating on such terms for more than 20 years.

Career and business

After university, I received a referral to a design organization.

After the law “On Cooperation” was passed, he decided to create his own business. He does this with Martynov and Bogolyubov, with whom he previously worked at Fianit. Now the guys have their own cooperative, Sentosa. At Bogolyubov and Kolomoisky there were purchases of office equipment from Moscow, which Martynov then sold in Dnieper. Later they began to trade in oil and ferroalloys, as well as all sorts of small items from sportswear and shoes to telephones. Such a business brought good income to the troika.

Privatbank

Kolomoisky and his partners founded Privatbank in 1992; there were 4 companies among the founders, although a large percentage of the total shares still belonged to Kolomoisky. As he says in 2005, the share was 30%.

The idea of creating a bank was submitted by Sergei Tigipko, and Kolomoisky did not like the idea, which is why a scandal began, which was quickly resolved after Tigipko promised to return the contributions made to the authorized capital of the enterprise as loans for the founding companies. As a result, Tigipko is the chairman of the board, and Miloslavsky is the head of the supervisory board.

Igor Kolomoisky

Thanks to Kolomoisky’s leadership qualities and his financial capabilities, this bank, through voucher privatization, which few people knew well about at that time, is growing into a large industrial and financial empire. The assets of Privat Group include more than 100 enterprises not only in Ukraine, but also in the world. The first such enterprise was the Dnepropetrovsk hardware plant.

Leonid Miloslavsky played an important role in the Privat group, he was a representative, could negotiate with the authorities and more.

Further, the “privatists” understand that metal trading is a profitable business, which Igor Valerievich began to engage in. A little time passes and he is already managing the group’s oil business. Little by little, along with the oil business, ferroalloys were also bought up.

In December 2020, PrivatBank was nationalized, 100% of the shares were transferred to the Ministry of Finance. The former owner transferred the shares for 1 UAH; at the time of the transfer, it was announced that the additional issue would amount to 116 billion UAH.

Also has shares in: • JKX Oil & Gas; • Central European Media Enterprises; • Television companies from Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania and the Czech Republic; • Global offshore companies (mostly in Cyprus).

Charity and social activities

Considering Kolomoisky’s Jewish roots, he does not forget about social activities and charity. The Jewish community attracts a lot of the businessman’s attention; thanks to him, the historical Jerusalem synagogue “Hurva” was revived, and with his help, the repair of tunnels under the Western Wall was completed. In addition, in 2010 he became president of the European Council of Jewish Communities for 5 years.

Midas also had his hand in the creation of the Kyiv museum complex “Art Arsenal”. He was the head of the Dnepr football and basketball club, as well as the Budivelnyk hockey club.

Policy

At the beginning of 2014, after the events at Euromaidan, through a decree and. O. President Turchynov Kolomoisky was appointed head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional administration. The very next day, March 3, he talks about his program and how he sees the political situation that developed in Ukraine at that moment. He promises to speak Ukrainian and not run his own business. As a method of combating separatism, he proposed giving leadership positions in the regions of the South-East of the country to large oligarchs: • Donetsk region - Akhmetov; • Zaporozhye – Pinchuk; • Lugansk - Taruta; • Crimea – Novinsky.

Igor Kolomoisky

There is a coup in the country, Poroshenko comes to power, who does not really fit into the interests of the oligarch, and there is an armed conflict in the eastern part of the country. And this part contains the majority of its metallurgical assets. Therefore, Kolomoisky signs the law for the introduction of the ATO and takes an active position in controlling, organizing and sponsoring special operations.

In June 2014, Kolomoisky proposed erecting a two-meter wall with barbed wire on the border between Ukraine and Russia.

However, a year passes and a conflict begins between Igor Valerievich and the President at the Ukrnafta base.

03/19/2015 – Verkhovna Rada passes a law that reduces the quorum required to hold general meetings of shareholders; now it is not 60%, but 50% + 1 share. This is exactly how much belongs to the state, while Kolomoisky and the structures under his control have only 42%. These same structures more than once blocked the meeting of shareholders, which means it was impossible to make a decision to pay dividends to the state.

The Supervisory Board removes Alexander Lazorko from the position of chairman of the company's board and elects former SBU officer Yuri Miroshnik. Lazorko does not want to leave his office and threatens to challenge the decision in court. However, after a small skirmish with Miroshnik’s security, he still has to temporarily leave the office. Events unfold even more interestingly when Kolomoisky rushes to his aid with machine gunners, his deputy G. Korban, Palitsa, Khomutynnik and A. Shevchenko. Moreover, while they were near the company building, Kolomoisky swore at Sergei Andrushko, a journalist for Radio Liberty

03/20/2015 – not wanting to tolerate this violation, Poroshenko announces a reprimand as punishment for violating professional ethics.

03/21/2015 - Kolomoisky’s Privatbank blocks all accounts that belong to Poroshenko, which is approximately $50 million. However, Privatbank claims that this was only a technical glitch.

03/22/2015 – Kolomoisky appears next to the Ukrnafta building. On the same day, the building was surrounded by an additional fence, explaining that armed people were a way of protecting against a raider attack.

03/23/2015 – Valentin Nalyvaichenko, head of the SBU, accuses the Dnepropetrovsk Regional State Administration of supporting criminal groups. He also states that his employees are fully ready to help disarm the aforementioned armed forces around Ukrnafta.

How does he run his business?

The unique style of doing business that Igor Kolomoisky followed has always been noted. The biography of the businessman, as well as the words of experts, indicate that he conducts a fairly tough business, trying to defend his own interests to the smallest detail and at the same time can revise the rules of the game in the process of this very game. The businessman's name has repeatedly appeared in a number of different conflicts, including litigation with Victor Pinchuk that unfolded around the Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant. In addition, in 2005, he was also a participant in a legal dispute with the co-owners of the 1+1 TV channel regarding his ownership of 70% of this media asset.

The official declaration that Kolomoisky submitted as governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region included an amount of 700 million hryvnia. At the same time, 516 million came from dividends and interest.

The billionaire has a villa in Switzerland, which is located on the coast of Lake Geneva and occupies one and a half hectares of land. Outwardly, she looks very modest. It is obvious that the owner paid special attention to landscape design. According to neighbors, Kolomoisky rarely comes to the villa, and if he does, he avoids communicating with anyone and plays a lot of football in his personal area. At the same time, the oligarch spends most of his time in Dnepropetrovsk, where his enterprises and business assets are concentrated. He is personally involved in all major production decisions.

Entrepreneurship

Igor Valerievich Kolomoisky began his career as a businessman during the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the ruins of the republic, many managed to realize their ideas without significant investment. According to some reports, he launched his first business in 1985. However, most often they rewrite the start of his entrepreneurial activity in 86-87. It was then that the first law on cooperation was issued. The first company of the future oligarch was. It specialized in the resale of all kinds of goods, from consumer goods to oil. Over several years of entrepreneurial activity, Kolomoisky managed to earn his first million, which he used to develop his business.

In 1992, together with his partners, Kolomoisky founded PrivatBank. Its founders were four companies, but the bulk of the shares belonged to Igor Valerievich. Later, the bank grew into an entire empire, which was called “Privat”. Today, the company's assets include about a hundred large enterprises not only in Ukraine, but also in other countries of the world.

Kolomoisky's most significant assets are: ; ferroalloy plants in Zaporozhye, Nikopol and Stakhanovka; and aviation. A is not only the largest banking institution in Ukraine, but also serves 22 million clients in 12 other countries around the world. And this is not all that Igor Kolomoisky can boast of.

Ukraine is not the only state covered by the oligarch’s sphere of activity. He also conducts business outside his native state. Igor Valerievich is a co-owner of the foreign companies Central European Media Enterprises and JKX Oil & Gas. In addition, he owns leading television companies in the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Kolomoisky’s assets also include several dozen offshore companies, the lion’s share of which is located in Cyprus.

Family

As you know, Igor Kolomoisky received citizenship from Ukraine and Israel at the same time. His children are citizens of other countries. Kolomoisky, according to him, lives between London, Kiev and Geneva. As you know, Igor Kolomoisky’s wife, like his entire family, has been living in Switzerland for a long time, namely in Geneva. The daughter is already married, but the businessman does not yet have grandchildren.

“My daughter is not going to give birth until she is 30, because this is not accepted among them in the West,” Igor Valerievich Kolomoisky reports her words. The businessman himself had children much earlier than this age: when his first child was born, he was only 22 years old. As the businessman himself says: “The daughter believes that she still has some time left and there is no hurry here.” Igor Valerievich Kolomoisky’s wife Irina married him when the businessman was only 20 years old. We must give this man his due, unlike many of his business colleagues, he is closely connected with his family and would not exchange it for anything.

Be that as it may, Igor Kolomoisky is an interesting and unique personality for the modern world. That's why it's so interesting to read about him.
