Journalists claim that the president wanted to possess the object for many years.
Cottage "Glicinia" is located in the village of Oreand near Yalta and built in 1955. Former Secretary General arrived there for rest. In the mid-90s, the cottage turned into an "dear, but publicly available" pension. But in August 2019, the Crimean authorities announced that Glicinia was sold from trading for 1.2 billion rubles. The buyer's name was not called, writes "Project".
The buyer acquired a land plot of 26 hectares, some of which belongs to the monument of garden-park art "Small Livadian Park", the other - to the Botanical Reserve "South Coast Dubravy", four bedroom hulls and therapeutic building, four open and one indoor pool, summer house, Bar, climatopavilion, greenhouse, as well as administrative and service and household corps with garages.
Later it turned out that the complex was bought by the company Oreanda-12 JSC, registered eight months before the auction. The general director of the company was listed by Muscovite Janis Ermanis. There was no other business at this AO, and Ermanis neither after leading posts in other companies did not occupy. "Project" found out that now Ermanis works as a coach on Eastern martial arts. According to colleagues and family, a man leads a modest lifestyle and has no big money. In a conversation with journalists, he did not comment on the purchase, but also does not deny this fact.
In November 2004, the cottage had already tried to privatize - then the VTB Bank concluded a purchase deal for 77.9 million hryvnia (about $ 15 million at the then rate). In the spring of 2005, the new president of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko demanded to break the contract with Moscow, lawsuits began.
The Ukrainian economy court ruled that the alienation of the cottage from statehood was illegal, the deal was dissolved. Although the bank was formally a buyer of "Wisteria", it was intended for Putin, argues the "project". Former President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma in his book wrote that "from the very beginning it was said that the cottage is bought" as the official residence of the President of Russia in the Crimea ".
The deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Gennady Moskal, headed by the Security Service of Ukraine, said that it was because of "Glicinia" between Moscow and Kiev, the first "gas war" began (the conflict stretches so far).
Ermanis was listed not only by the director, but also the only shareholder of Oreanda-12. The company's research registry holder is the Petersburg Accounting and Registration Center. She was created in 2014 as a pocket registrar of the Bank "Russia". She holds the registers of shareholders of the Bank itself and the "National Media Group", as well as almost all Crimean assets, controlled by the Bank's main shareholder and a friend Vladimir Putin Yuri Kovalchuk.
Such assets include including the Massandra winemaker, Optima JSC, bought at the foreign owners of the Inkerman Vintage Wine Plant in Sevastopol, JSC "Plant Champagne Wine" New Light ", JSC" My Wine "and JSC "Genbank" is one of the three major Crimean banks working on the peninsula under sanctions.
As they say in one of the previous investigations of the project, Kovalchuk and related people and companies throughout the country own luxurious real estate. Journalists argue that the president himself enjoys her.
Dacha's guard refused to name the name of its owner Journalist "Project", the employee who stands next to the Kremlin Sanatorium "Lower Oreanda" says that construction work goes in "Wisteria", and the locals assure that there were no guests there for five years. In Yalta, "Glicinia" is called "Putin", but when and who will rest in it now, no one knows.
