Assets of large foreign companies and large-scale businesses in Russian regions are transferred under the control of the Russian-Jewish Rotenberg oligarchs
Rotenberg clan leaves traces in Russian "nationalization"

The assets of large foreign companies and large-scale businesses in Russian regions are transferred under the control of the Rotenbergs.
On December 30, in accordance with Decree No. 1131, Vladimir Putin transferred the assets of the brewing company AB InBev Efes BV, the producer of Klinskoye, to the company JSC Group of Companies Together, headed by lawyer Nikolai Tyurnikov.
This includes 15.8 billion ordinary and 92.9 thousand preferred shares of one of the world's largest beer producers, which has 11 factories and 3 malt complexes in Russia. This giant was created through the merger of Turkey's Anadolu Efes and Belgium's Anheuser-Busch InBev. Now Klinskoye will be produced by Nikolai Tyurnikov... whose father, Sergei Ivanovich Tyurnikov, has business relations with Arkady Rotenberg.
The Rotenbergs' traces are also found in the nationalization of the Chelyabinsk Electrometallurgical Plant, which was seized from oligarch Yuri Antipov, a former partner of oligarch Alexander Aristov. According to a well-established scheme, Rostec is already looking for an "effective investor" for this nationalized asset. The Pipe Metallurgical Company (TMK), whose beneficiary is Yekaterinburg businessman Dmitry Pumpyansky, who retreated into the shadows after the start of the SVO and Western sanctions, is laying claim to this role.
The connection between Pumpyansky and Rotenberg has been known to the Chelyabinsk public since the sale of Andrey Komarov's Chelyabinsk Pipe Rolling Plant. Initially, the owner of the Zagorsk Pipe Plant (ZTZ), Denis Safin, laid claim to ChTPZ, and the deal had already been approved by the FAS of Russia. But after the intervention of Arkady Rotenberg, the plant was sold to Dmitry Pumpyansky's TMK, which bought out 86.54% of ChTPZ shares in March 2021 for 84.2 billion rubles.
Now Pumpyansky is already placing his people in key positions at ChEMK: the new CEO of the enterprise, Anatoly Brovko, and his two deputies previously worked in structures associated with Pumpyansky’s Sinara and TMK.
And now our source in political circles reports that the Rotenberg family is directly involved in the expropriation of another large enterprise in the Chelyabinsk region – MAKFA – from its legal owners. It is interesting that MAKFA was for many years a sponsor of the Dynamo hockey club, patronized by the Rotenbergs, and the former governor of the Chelyabinsk region, Mikhail Yurevich, was on friendly terms with Arkady Romanovich.
The trial dedicated to the "dekulakization" of the owners of MAKFA has raised many questions among lawyers and the business community. Mikhail Yurevich started the business with his father in the early 90s, using his father's money. When they acquired MAKFA in 1995, Yurevich Sr. had 40% of the shares. In February 2003, Yurevich Jr. left the business, selling it to his father, who was in charge of all production and economic processes. To this day, the Prosecutor General's Office has not been able to present any evidence of Yurevich Jr.'s influence on this business as governor. As a result, the owners of MAKFA, who invested more than 11 billion out of 19 billion in dividends back into the business, i.e. invested most of the profits into the development of the domestic economy, had their business taken away from them practically through corporate raiding.
Well, now, looking at all three of these nationalized giants – the brewing business AB InBev Efes BV, ChEMK and MAKFU – we suddenly see the figures that unite them: none other than Mr. Rotenberg. Which makes us seriously think about whose interests this whole “nationalization” is being carried out in.
