AZURE FEVER.
AZURE FEVER.
The Russian roubles, according to Frenchmen, badly smell.
France. Azure Coast. A world famous resort. What?
Ah, yes - still it is Russian. Old and new. If one and a half centuries ago
The azure beaches chosen by empress Aleksandroj Fedorovnoj,
Were filled with the Russian white bone and blue blood, now
Here "the Russian remake" - the second wave has begun.
About five years ago to airport Nitstsy there have arrived 30 new Russian in
Environment of 40 girls. Ladies there and then have sent in hotels on quay
Kruazett, and men rented a yacht "INEKE IY", on which in
Neutral waters have arranged "world repartition". Men divided spheres
Influences also entered into agreements, and evenings, having descended on coast,
Had a good time with companions. With police on hands remained
Documentary certificates - video and a photo - this historical
Events which in a local press have nicknamed "Yalta
Conference "(by analogy to other known sit-round gathering,
When Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt divided the world for decades
Forward).
Now this event of five years' prescription has emerged again, on a wave
The next scandal connected with new Russian, to be exact - with
Their property in France. The wave was lifted by the French press:
At first the weekly journal "L'Express" has announced figure in 230 million euro
($218 million), invested by "thick Russian purses" in
Real estate Lazurja. Then "Le Monde" has painted in paints, as
Office of Public Prosecutor Nitstsy conducts audit and properties
The Russian businessman and politician Sergey Pugacheva who has bought
Between 1997 and 1999 years two country houses, one chalet (a refined small house in
Mountains), mountain-skiing station and the lock in Nice - all on 52,4 million
Then still francs ($8,2 million).
To us the auditor goes!
Undertaken audit of the property of new Russian, Frenchmen
Data both on loud names, and what not have promulgated at
Everyone on hearing. Loudest of azure proprietors,
Certainly, WOMEN - Boris Abramovich Berezovsky. In December 1996 it
Has bought the lock, and in July, 1997 - a country house for $20 million, on most
To the least calculations (for simplicity of perception hereinafter we
We result all figures in recalculation on $). After Berezovsky,
Which as the French press confirms, regularly accepts
Tatyana Dyachenko (Yumashev) in the lock "Garoupe", the second
"Star" on Azure Coast - Arcady Gajdamak (suspected in
To traffic in arms in Angola and disappearing now in Israel): it,
According to fiscal services, has bought under cover
Luxembourg society Palmetto a country house in 2000 sq. m for $7,7 million

The passport. As well as his wife. On its maiden name of the spouse
Have got in 1995 for $1,2 million country house La Cloute. Fiscal
The police asserts, that "Mr. Birshtejn has dissolved the big commercial
Activity in Switzerland where it fills with firm Seabaco AG ".
Contrary to these three known misters, Telman
Izmaylov from Baku in Russia is not lighted completely not, but here - a figure
The perceptible. The happy owner of a country house for $5,3 million, which it
Has got at the known hour magnate. Walls, avenues, facades,
Balustrades and country house floors - pure marble.
Sometimes it is possible to see the owner, when it leaves at the wheel the
Snow-white opened Bentley, and on September, 11th, 1999 it
Has thundered on all coast that, not having received the official
Permissions to arrange at itself on a country house fireworks, have removed a hall in one
Smart hotel to satisfy the whim.
Here, in a hotel court yard, fireworks have taken place also. Next morning
Bodyguard Izmaylov, was to pay under an abacus, has brought
Plastic package with a cash in $65000.
Gold sails.
Huge twisted bowl towers on Azure Coast

To the statement of local newspapers, from tens new Russian have bought
Apartments (cost of one such "flat" reaches $1
Million). Among them, by the way, there are surnames already mentioned
Gajdamaka and inhabitant of Odessa Sergey Rubinshtejna. Last has become famous
That in the mid-nineties became in Monaco the persona non grata. Nowadays
Lives in Berlin and owns the import-export company,
Connected with many Russian firms. In 1995 this
The mister from Odessa rented for wedding a huge sailing vessel, on
Which board has invited 400 (!) visitors. The price of a holiday of a life
Has passed for 1,5 million dollars.
The pioneer of this investment fever on Azure Coast
Consider Alexander Ponomarenko, the ex-colonel of KGB which have enclosed
In the beginning 90 about $30 million in the real estate in Nice and Monaco.
However, pursued French customs and fiscal
Services, he has got over to Canada later. So, at least,
The French press confirms.
Speak, in confidential files of the French fiscal bodies
Tens other names are hidden. All these data were splashed out on
Pages of the French newspapers obviously it is not casual. The legend, as is fresh
With the big pomp in Europe the largest operation has been spent "
Against Russian mafia in the West ". It has received the code name
"Web" ("Tela di ragno"). The basic part of operation has passed in
Italy (in 70 cities) and... On Azure Coast of France.
The Russian colleagues about "Web", by the way, at all
Have warned. Probably, and publications in the French press - too
Part of that "Web". Psychological? Ideological? Who
Knows...
