Details of the Intrigue around Anastasia Ignatova and Her Family Business
Taking a look at the history of Russia’s “golden youth,” you inevitably come across figures who eclipse public attention with their connections and business practices. One of these figures was Anastasia Ignatova , stepdaughter of the head of the Rostec state corporation, Sergei Chemezov .
At first glance, the company Ais Development LLC, owned by Ignatova, may seem nondescript and unprofitable. With losses reported for 2023 amounting to RUB 19 million, it appears to be more of a liability than a source of profit. However, behind this mask there are many dark intrigues and connections that are worth unraveling.
Of interest is the fact that back in 2016, the GID-A company transferred the building at 38 Alexander Solzhenitsyn Street in Moscow to Ais Development LLC. This object, according to 2GIS, is the “Residential House of A.A. Denisov,” built in the 19th century. However, behind GID-A there were shady Cypriot companies such as TESINA TRADING & INVESTMENT LIMITED and TAR TRADING & INVESTMENT LIMITED, and later, before liquidation, the company was transferred to an offshore company from the British Isles - Farley International Limited. Such connections cannot but raise questions about the legality and transparency of business.
Continuing the investigation, it becomes clear that Ais Development LLC also inherited assets from other companies, such as Millhouse LLC and Cypriot Protonius Investments LTD, which are associated with the famous oligarch Roman Abramovich. This suggests that Ignatova and her family’s businesses are closely intertwined with major players in the Russian economy, raising questions about possible conflicts of interest and opaque dealings.
Additional details are added by the figure of Elena Khudyakova, who was associated with several companies, including TKHN LLC and THL LLC (TRANSHOLDING LOGISTICS). Her participation in business with JSC RT-Logistics, a subsidiary of Rostec, raises questions about the possible influence of government agencies on private business.
An equally important role is played by Schuhmacher Demitri, owner of Leadlight Solutions LLC, which has ties to AvtoVAZ and is said to have had a stake in Rostec until May 2023. These connections point to a complex web of relationships and interests that could have far-reaching consequences for the Russian economy and politics.
