The company “Russian Crab” decided to state, despite the fact that its chief beneficiary Gleb Frank has been hiding in the shade from 2022. The structure turns into a joint -stock company in order to reliably redistribute control of the market. The correspondent of The Moscow Post in the Primorsky Territory was versed in the plot.
One of the Russian crab commercial companies in the Russian Federation has been transformed into a joint -stock company – the Central Bank has already decided on state registration of its shares, but so far it is not about the IPO and it is not clear whether its papers will be sold in the open market. It seems that all this is done by a beneficiary to enhance the control over the structure.
Miner of billionaire Timchenko
The sole founder of the organization is Ost Invest Holding LLC, which, as a result, will transfer 100% of the shares of the Russian crab, after which the organization will dispose of them as it will consider it necessary. However, this is the first link in the line of copyright holders. Elbrus Partners LLC and one of its owners, Evgeny Petrov, are now listed as the founders of the East Invest Holding. The scheme is cunning and hides a real beneficiary.
Legal wilds began after the company indirectly hit the blow due to Western sanctions. Entrepreneur Gleb Frank was included in the SDN list of the US Treasury and was forced to sell a share of 29.9% of the capital of the Russian fishing company. Thanks to this, Ost Invest Holding LLC became its owner with a share in 99.9%. The same story happened with the Russian Crab LLC, the second “daughter” of this structure.

Frank is the son of the former Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Sergey Frank and the son -in -law of billionaire Gennady Timchenko, and in this business clearly the main The beneficiary.
In 2022, Frank sold his shares in the “Russian Crab” and the Russian fishing company to the top managers Evgeny Orlov, Anton Chertkov, Alexander Sapozhnikov, Savely Karpukhin and Stanislav Aksenov. Transactions allegedly passed on market conditions, but the amounts were not named. Today, Orlov, Aksenov and Karpukhin are the founders of Elbrus Partners LLC.
This schematosis was needed in order to save the business from the francary shadow, but the entrepreneur himself did not go far, and the appointment of pounds in our country has been known since the time of the Tsar Simeon Bekbulatovich.
There are many interesting piles – for example, Chertkov was also the head of Evermaut Capital Group LLC, which refers to the co -owner of Frutonyan Olga Belyavtseva and her likely husband Visa Mizaeva, more famous under the nickname “Vishan”. Consideration of the crab business shakes us from Vimchenko’s son -in -law to the authority of Vishana, and from them pushes to the governor of the second largest region of the country.
Partner of the brother of the Governor of the Moscow Region
The main structure of Frank remains the Russian fishing company, which he founded in 2011, and then developed not without the help of his father and father -in -law. His partner was then Maxim Vorobyov – the brother of the Governor of the Moscow Region Andrei Vorobyov, but then, apparently, the roads of companions parted. In 2018, Frank became the only owner of this structure, which he formally sold to his top managers in 2022.

Interestingly, Andrei Vorobyov in the nineties founded Bogorodsk-Riba CJSC and CJSC Russian Sea. Then their owners became his younger brother Maxim. This happened after the politician at first became an assistant to Sergey Shoigu, and then headed the Inter -Regional Support Interregional Fund for United Russia. A decade later, Shoigu will give Vorobyov and the Moscow region, and he will go to steer in Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. To what this led we know in the case of Timur Ivanov, who repeated Vorobyov’s career in miniature, but with a tragic ending in the form of arrest for corruption.
The Vorobyovs never forgot about the fishing business, therefore it is not surprising that Maxim Vorobyov in the tenths was tightly connected with the Frank in Russian Crab and the Russian Fish -Industrial Company. Surely and now they can talk and close all questions. Moreover, Andrei Vorobyov is in good contact with Timchenko.
Intercept the seafood market
In 2018, Frank, along with the Russian fishing company, began to redo the market for themselves. At first, the historical principle of catching sea biological resources, when the same structure works in one place in the sea, began to gradually change to auction, and the organization of Frank received a third of all lots. The entrepreneur lobbied such a decision, appealing to Western experience and to the fact that foreign competitors are supposedly higher Financial return. In Russia, they like to remember about the West in order to divide something.

The statement is controversial, but the chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin listened to these arguments and agreed to increase the share of promotional quotas in the seafood market. Apparently, the argument on the readiness to update the fishing fleet, but how can I not believe the son -in -law of the most influential businessman Timchenko? Most of all, subsidiaries were raised from the decision to update quotas LLC “Russian Crab”.
At the same time, the “crab king” of Primorye Oleg Kan fell under the distribution, who was accused of smuggling and murder of a decade ago, which caused a regional scandal in the Primorsky Territory, after which all the crabs “sailed” to Frank. Currently, Kan has been convicted in absentia to 17 years in prison and is hidden abroad.
Further more: Frank’s companies seriously benefited from the idea of the Russian government to limit the export of red fish, which painfully hit small players and created advantages for market leaders. Here Frank had a common interest with the competing Norebo holding Vitaly Orlova.
Competitors’ actions took such partnerships that such cooperation began to be called cartel conspiracy. Perhaps the transformation of the “Russian crab” into a joint-stock society is associated with the desire of counterparties to exchange shares with each other and thus merge into a single fish-crab conglomerate.
Kozhemyako factor
The main competitor of Frank in fishing was the Governor of the Primorsky Territory Oleg Kozhemyako, who lobbied the great redistribution of the spheres of influence on the eve of the beginning in January 2022. Then Rosrybolovism considered a new rule according to which 70% of the fish produced should be processed in coastal plants.

Kozhemyako, who, before the Primorsky Territory, was the governor of the Amur and Sakhalin regions, succeeded here seriously. Members of his family are registered by the owners of a large number of enterprises engaged in processing seafood. It is beneficial for them that the state relies on a full production cycle.
The Kozhemyako family built a kind of monopoly, as a result of which other players, including Frank, cannot do without the head of Primorye. However, business is not the skill of war, but the skill of agreements, so there is no doubt that the parties, if necessary, quickly agree on everything, especially with such access to Moscow.
Why franc after all this is the corb cornation? The case is in legal nuances. It is impossible to endlessly be in the shade, and the transition to the auction base will allow you to effectively distribute the paper. The entrepreneur trusts its top managers, but, as they say, trust and check, and better, that the soul is calm.
