A serious man in a white suit, white crocodile boots with a hard look and a firm step. This is Andrey Removich Bokarev.

He never aspired to become a leader or a public figure. I just did my job and moved on. For a long time he remained in the shadows - in the shadow of the glory of his "senior partner".
But more and more often Andrei Bokarev can be seen not only at secular parties, but also among his colleagues in the workshop - famous billionaires.

Such confidence is connected not only with friendship with influential oligarchs and Andrei Removich’s billion-dollar fortune, but also with the support of the authorities - Bokarev has been considered the “king of state orders” over the past 3 years, as well as the businessman’s philanthropic activities.
“... significant support in Bokarev's business projects is provided by the special services, and even after the change of the director of the FSB, this connection remained strong. However, there is no special scenario: the authorities are already working with big business, and now there is no need to distribute additional bonuses,” HSE professor, political scientist Oleg Matveychev.
But this is only the tip of the iceberg - it is well known that Bokarev is a co-owner of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company, Transmashholding and Kuzbassrazrezugol, Transoil and Transgroup, Metrovagonmash and Mosmetrostroy, and even the Kalashnikov Concern . But even more is hidden under the thickness of muddy water - white spots and criminal stories in short biography Andrei Bokarev is more than enough.
He did everything so that his name was included in the book of the annals of construction " new Russia»: Bokarev invests in a previously closed for private investors gun business, supports Olympic and skiing, is present in almost all strategic industries countries and even, without fear of sanctions, promotes its projects in the Crimea.
Could just "junior partner" Andrey Bokarev achieve such success in business without possessing business acumen, foresight, and perseverance?

Life shows that the entrepreneur is trusted. And not only management own business, as happened more than once with Iskander Makhmudov, but also the implementation of strategic state projects - preparation for the Olympics in Sochi, the construction of the Moscow Metro.
Whether Andrei Bokarev is satisfied with his achievements is hard to say. After all, he is not a public person, and does not like to talk not only about his successes, but also about his plans. But the Forbes rating eloquently tells about his successes, where Bokarev first got back in 2006. It cannot be said that he systematically increased his fortune, but in 10 years he was able to increase his capital by exactly $ 1 billion.

What was at the beginning or unanswered questions
The life of Andrei Bokarev until 1995, when he graduated from the Moscow Financial Institute and was immediately appointed to the post of acting. about. Chairman of the Board of the National Investment Bank - a solid blank spot.
It is known for certain that he is a native Muscovite, born in October 1966. But who his parents were, how Andrei grew up, what he dreamed about, history is silent. It is not clear why Bokarev entered the university at the age of 24, what he did and on what means he lived before that.

By the way, the Moscow Financial Institute in the 90s was one of the most prestigious universities, where it was not so easy to enter, even with connections and money. It is difficult to say whether it is possible to conclude from this fact that Bokarev's youth did not proceed like that of average guys.
But the fact that Bokarev's name surfaced in May 1995 in a case involving the explosion of Sylvester (Timofeev), the leader of the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group, speaks volumes. "Bandit" was blown up in the "Mercedes", which belonged to our hero. Then Bokarev was mentioned as the chairman of the board of Transexpobank.
The founder of this bank was Sergey Petrovich Alpatkin, one of the leaders of the Transexpo Union. The Industrial and Financial Company Meta-Service was affiliated with the Union of Entrepreneurs, director of which in 1994-1996. was Iskander Makhmudov.
Most likely, it was at this stage that fate brought Bokarev to Makhmudov. Since 1998, Andrey Bokarev's business history has been inextricably linked with Makhmudov's projects.

Big ship big voyage
It all started with the appointment of Bokarev to the post of deputy CEO"Kuzbassrazrezugol" - one of the largest. Makhmudov acquired the enterprise from Sergei Rodionov in 1998. Here Andrey Removich supervised export deliveries. In the same year, he headed the Australian company Makhmudov "Crutrade".

- OAO Rosterminalugol.
For a long time, the exact data on the shares in the assets owned by Makhmudov were not advertised. It was rumored that the billionaire has a "shadow partner" in the copper business.
How great was the surprise in business circles when the KRU investment memorandum was advertised. Makhmudov's mysterious partner turned out to be Andrey Bokarev, who for a long time was considered only "Makhmudov's manager for coal affairs."
Moreover, Bokarev was called not just a small investor, but a co-owner of KRU.
But our hero became a shareholder of UMMC only in 2013, although at unofficial social events he was called the owner of this business long before that.

But not the coal business and not even the copper holding played leading role in the history of Andrei Bokarev. Transmashholding is a corporation with which its name is inextricably linked.
"Transportmashholding"
In 2004, the partners united disparate engineering plants. The company includes more than 15 factories that manufacture products for railway. Bokarev headed the association in 2008 and to this day holds the post of Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Today Transmashholding is a leading player in the railway equipment market. Up to 70% of the products of Russian Railways are purchased at Bokarev's enterprises, where they produce:
- shunting and main diesel locomotives;
- industrial and main electric locomotives;
- locomotive and marine diesel engines;
- cars of electric trains and metro;
- passenger and freight cars;
- rail buses;
- wagon casting, etc.
Kirill Lipa, General Director of the enterprise, talks about the achievements of Transmashholding in an interview:

Assessing the prospects transport business, Bokarev, together with his senior partner, began to expand the empire, moving in this direction.

Everything would not have turned out "Bokarev"
The UMMC co-owner is selling his assets. Did you feel something was wrong?
According to The Moscow Post correspondent, Andrey Bokarev, co-owner of the Ural mining and metallurgical company and Transmashholding company (UMMC), intends to sell 30 percent of the shares of the Kolmar coal company in the Republic of Yakutia (Sakha).
The businessman bought this stake and a stake in the Ust-Luga Oil oil product terminal in 2015 from Gunvor, which was previously co-owned by Gennady Timchenko, who fell under US sanctions (owns 30% of Colmar).
Thus, Andrei Bokarev is systematically getting rid of assets that are undesirable from the point of view of the current market situation. Recall that a little earlier, Bokarev, together with his long-term partner Iskander Makhmudov, decided to withdraw from the ownership of the Kalashnikov concern, which fell under Western sanctions three years ago.
Oligarch-sycophant?
Andrey Removich Bokarev always knew how to adapt to circumstances. He managed to arrange things in such a way that he received double praise from ... it’s scary to say who. He was praised twice by the President of the country in one day.
For the first time, Vladimir Putin named him among the patrons who financed the Olympic facilities. The Sverdlovsk residents considered the Shayba ice arena built in Sochi to be a UMMC project, but it followed from the president’s story that it was Bokarev who was behind the project and it was he who agreed to give the complex free of charge to whomever the head of state indicated.
The second gratitude came at the end of the "interrogation" of the president, who was trying to get an answer to the question of who exactly pays for the coverage of the world sporting event - the first in the history of the European Games. It turned out that public sector entity channel "Russia 2" pays for this with the money of a dollar billionaire from the Forbes list.
The ongoing dialogue, observers believe, captures the sympathy that the president feels for a non-public businessman - a shareholder of UMMC and chairman of the board of directors of CJSC Transmashholding.
Few managed to get to a personal meeting with the president last year. Bokarev was in Novo-Ogaryovo twice: in February and November. The number of Putin's meetings with Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov, for example, turned out to be exactly half that.
Ural intrigues
As evil tongues say, Andrei Bokarev was almost a freelance adviser to the newly appointed governor Sverdlovsk region Kuyvashev. According to rumors, it was Bokarev who brought Kuyvashev together with the real owner of the Ural life, one of the main shareholders of UMMC Andrey Kozitsyn.
Since then, Kozitsyn has been considered almost best friend Kuyvashev. And this, as they whisper, is entirely the merit of Andrei Bokarev. Many consider the latter to be almost a gray eminence of the Sverdlovsk power circles.
Maybe that's the way it is. Andrei Removich can position himself perfectly.
Land issue
Nine years ago a few individuals filed a lawsuit with the Krasnogorsk City Court of the Moscow Region, among the defendants in which was, in particular, the state institution "Tetkovo Health Complex" of the Office of the President of the Russian Federation.
The plaintiffs contested the transfer to this enterprise federal agency for the management of federal property of a land plot with an area of 1,975,700 sq. m not far from the village of Petrovo-Dalnee. The lawsuit argued that the rights of permanent perpetual use of these lands by the enterprise of the Department Manager are illegal.
They say that behind this story with an attempt to take away the land from the Presidential Administration was the former senator from the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the "vodka king" Alexander Sabadash, member of the Federation Council Leonid Lebedev, businessmen Iskander Makhmudov and Andrey Bokarev, who waged scandalous wars among themselves over the redistribution of available they have land in the Krasnogorsk district of the Moscow region.
Siberian traces
It is known that Iskander Makhmudov owns a stake in OAO Kuzbassrazrezugol (KRU) and, through it, in OAO Transmashholding. They say that he appears at social events of the governor of the Kemerovo region Aman Tuleev, as well as in Moscow clubs and in the French ski resort of Courchevel.
However, there is no exact data either about Mr. Makhmudov himself or about his exact share in controlled assets. They say, for example, that he has a "shadow partner" in the copper business.
According to a KRU investment memorandum obtained by Business Guide, this mysterious partner is none other than Andrey Bokarev, previously considered "Makhmudov's manager for coal affairs" (he heads the board of directors of KRU).
However, in the KRU ownership structure, Mr. Bokarev is named a co-owner of this business along with Makhmudov himself, and at one of the non-public social events he was directly called the owner of the UMMC.
King of government orders
Andrei Bokarev and his senior patron Iskander Makhmudov have long been known as the kings of state orders. In particular, the already mentioned company Transmashholding, in some strange way, actually without a tender, received a contract for the supply of more than 800 cars for the Moscow metro.
Andrey Bokarev
The amount of the contract turned out to be quite good - 144 billion rubles. A little later, Andrei Bokarev's company Transmashholding received another contract from the metro for the supply of cars and their maintenance for thirty years - worth 130 billion rubles. Good business, is not it?
As some media wrote, in terms of the number of government orders, Bokarev was ahead of even the friends of the country's first person, the Rotenberg brothers and Timchenko.
Laundering business?
Evil tongues claimed that through the firms of Bokarev and Makhmudov, the criminal money of the Izmailovsky criminal group was laundered. Not quite clean were, in their opinion, and financial flows Bokarev through the world's largest coal company Kuzbassrarezugol.
Through the European firms UMMC and Kuzbassrazrezugol, the proceeds from the sale of Russian natural resources, and then could be divided among the members of the group.
Thus, some publications claim that the leader of the Izmaylovskys, Anton Malevsky, together with Iskander Makhmudov, controlled the coal trader KRUTrade in Austria, which accumulated all the money from the sale of Russian fuel.
Iskander Makhmudov
Here is such a character who sells his shares in the Yakutsk coal company. Did Andrei Removich sharpen his skis to distant and warmer climes? After all, the hour is uneven, stern guys in civilian clothes may turn up and start asking not very pleasant questions.
