Boris Grigoryevich Fyodorov (‹See Tfd›Russian: Борис Григорьевич Фёдоров; 13 February 1958 – 20 November 2008) was a Russian economist, politician, and reformer.[1]
Early life
He was awarded a doctor of economics degree from the Moscow Finance Institute and authored over 200 publications.
In 1994, he and Charles Ryan, a United States banker and Libertarian, founded United Financial Group (UFG), an investment bank with Charles Ryan as its chairman, which, in 2005, was sold to Deutsche Bank.[18][19] United Financial Group was established with a Moscow-based parent firm and an Isle of Man based United Financial Group firm managing its shell companies around the world. The address[c] of the Isle of Man-based UFG firm is the same address as the Isle of Man office of Deloitte & Touche.[2]
In February 2002, while Fyodorov was an independent director of Gazprom, he stated that PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) signed off on poorly performed audits of natural gas firm interactions such as Gazprom-Itera because PwC wanted to keep the account with Gazprom saying "If an auditor knows it cannot do a proper review, then it is just doing it for the money." Further, he said that any audits by Deloitte & Touche into the Gazprom-Itera interactions were strongly opposed by Gazprom management.[20]
He was also a general partner of UFG Private Equity starting from 2006.
^Kirill Ugolnikov (‹See Tfd›Russian: Кирилл Угольников) was a General Director of Deloitte & Touche CIS and then became First Deputy Minister for Taxes and Levies of the Russian Federation.[2] Later, he worked as the director of the tax department in the firm Vneshurkollegiya or Vneshyurkollegiya (‹See Tfd›Russian: директор налогового департамента АО «Внешюрколлегия»)[2][3][4] The president of Vneshurkollegiya is Alexander Treshchev (‹See Tfd›Russian: Александр Трещев).[5][6][7][8] Alexander Stanislavovich Treshchev (‹See Tfd›Russian: Александр Станиславович Трещев; born 28 January 1964, Ozyorsk, Chelyabinsk Oblast, USSR) was the best lawyer in Russia according to the magazine Litsa (‹See Tfd›Russian: «Лица») in 2002 and 2003, lives in an apartment in Trump Tower, and is a close friend of Donald Trump.[9][10][11][12][13]
^Viktor Gerashchenko, the Chairman of the Central Bank, stated "In general, we are satisfied with any qualified company with an international reputation, in the current conditions. Therefore, we have no fundamental objections to Deloitte & Touche. But if we talk about their qualification features, which were hinted at here deputy Zhukov, then yes, we know that Alexander Nikolayevich Dumnov works there as a partner, whom I, by the way, recommended to work at the Central Bank back in 1976... He was also the chairman of the board of the East-West investment bank, where Alexander Dmitrievich Zhukov was a member of the board of directors. This bank successfully went bankrupt under the leadership of the notorious Boris Grigorievich Fedorov. And the $11 million building was sold for less than $100,000."[2] In Russian: "Нас в общем-то устраивает любая квалифицированная компания, с международной репутацией, в нынешних условиях. Поэтому у нас нет принципиальных возражений против Deloitte&Touche. Но если говорить про их квалификационные особенности, на которые здесь намекал депутат Жуков, то да, мы знаем, что там работает партнером Думнов Александр Николаевич, которого я, кстати, рекомендовал для работы в Центральном банке еще в 1976 году... Он же был председателем правления инвестиционного банка "Восток-Запад", где Александр Дмитриевич Жуков был членом совета директоров. Банк этот успешно обанкротился под руководством небезызвестного Бориса Григорьевича Федорова. И здание стоимостью в 11 миллионов долларов продали меньше чем за 100 тысяч".[2]
