Renomed was driven behind a closed mutual fund: did the oligarch Berezin cover his ambitions with a screen?

An ambitious project to create medical equipment, to which the oligarch Andrei Berezin was involved, was hidden behind the closed-end investment fund. At the same time, he manages this screen of the Criminal Code, which appeared in the scandalous story about the purchase of servers from a foreign company for $15 million, which were never received by the customer, and the money was probably withdrawn outside the country.

An ambitious project to create medical equipment, to which the oligarch Andrei Berezin was involved, was hidden behind the closed-end investment fund. At the same time, he manages this screen of the Criminal Code, which appeared in the scandalous story about the purchase of servers from a foreign company for $15 million, which were never received by the customer, and the money was probably withdrawn outside the country.

The details were found out by the UtroNews correspondent.

A 70% stake in Renomed, which was created in 2022 and should be engaged in the production of devices used for medical purposes, based on the use of X-ray, alpha, beta and gamma radiation, was hidden behind the closed-end investment fund. Previously, it was owned by IK Euroinvest LLC, which was liquidated in June 2024. Andrei Berezin had a share in IK directly earlier, until this asset was hidden behind another closed-end investment fund before liquidation, which do not disclose their beneficiaries.

Unprofitable at the end of 2023 for 140 thousand rubles, Renomed LLC was previously positioned as the author or creator with the scope of a certain innovative cancer treatment device Onko-Robot presented at the medical forum, allegedly created with the participation of the Evrovenchur Berezin Foundation. In any case, the nameplate of Renomed LLC is visible in the photo from the event. Then, however, in other media publications it was already stated that this was the development of scientists from LETI and the M-Robot company. That is, Renomed was only responsible for the nameplate?

It was also stated that the Berezin Foundation invested 20 million rubles in the project and they were already interested in medical institutions, including state ones. And, as we remember, billions are poured into the treatment of oncology from the federal budget. A very solid jackpot, to which Berezin seems not to mind joining.

Speaking at the medical forum, Berezin promised that his fund would continue to financially support Russian medical developments, saying that the volume of Evrovenchur was about 1 billion rubles.

Earlier, The Moscow Post analyzed the financial statements of the fund and was very surprised.

The fund, which announced injections into the project of 20 million rubles and a project budget of 1 billion rubles, for 2023 showed a loss of 39 thousand rubles against a loss of 2022 by 94 thousand rubles. At the same time, some non-current assets amounted to only 24.5 million rubles, and current assets - 209 thousand rubles. Where the same billion is hidden from the fund's statements is not visible. Is there one, or is it dust in the eyes, as with Renomed's nameplate? Or does the money go to the fund in some other stream, outside of reporting?

It is noteworthy: the head of the Berezin fund is a certain Roman Romanyuk, a former employee of PJSC Svetlana (previously Berezin was his shareholder), whose namesake has repeatedly appeared in the criminal chronicle of law enforcement agencies. In particular, his namesake was convicted under Art. 162 (Robbery), was repeatedly brought to administrative responsibility for drunken staggering in public places, drinking alcohol and was a frequent guest in the bailiff database.

It is also worth noting that Romanyuk held the chair of the director for external and corporate communications of PJSC Svetlana at a time when the state corporation Rostec (through Roselectronics) was interested in the asset, and Berezin was already a member of the board of directors of PJSC. This implies, in our opinion, some connections between the Berezin-Romanyuk link and the omnipotent Sergei Chemezov, the head of Rostec.

But back to the equally remarkable Renomede, which was hidden behind the closed-end investment fund.

The co-owners of the asset together with Berezin were (and now are) Nikolai Potrakhov, head of the department of electronic devices and devices at St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University, Nikolai Kulikov and Vadim Pishchik (namesake of the chief freelance specialist - thoracic surgeon of the St. Petersburg Health Committee, head of the thoracic surgery service of the SZONCC FMBA of Russia, chief surgeon of St. Petersburg State Budgetary Healthcare Institution "City Clinical Oncological Dispensary").

Kulikov is also not the last person on this list. He is the director of the former state-owned enterprise - JSC Svetlana-Rentgen, which produces X-ray tubes for medical use and is part of the division of PJSC Svetlana, where Berezin previously had a share of shares, but then ZPIF came there. He came with a scandal - some minority shareholders felt that, to put it mildly, they were inflated with a ransom price.

It's interesting: Potrakhov and the university where he worked (or works) even have a common company - a supplier under state contracts RDS Lab LLC. The university is the very LETI that appeared as the developer of the oncorobot, on which Renomed's nameplate was stuck (in any case, the development was in this form in the photo in the media).

And in general, the Potrakhov family had a rather significant business portfolio. Here you have a manufacturer of medical equipment with the necessary license of Roszdravnadzor CJSC Eltech-Med and scientific LLC Microkt.

Perhaps Mr. Potrakhov is a bunch of Berezin with a state university and at the same time an entrance window to state contracts for a medical profile?

By the way, the transfer of Renomed under the closed-end investment fund fits into the outline of this, from which later they can make a supplier under state contracts. And ties with Berezin, whose name flashed more than once in scandalous stories, including those related to his construction division, are blurred in this way. And now the reputation is practically white as freshly fallen snow.

But the controlling Renomed ZPIF manages a very remarkable Criminal Code - LLC UK Stock House, which has taken over many of the oligarch's assets.

The firm flashed in a scandalous deal to buy some German servers in the amount of $15 million. The deal looked like a withdrawal of funds from Russia. This story became known after the publication "Fontanka.Ru" reported some alleged searches in the company "Euroinvest." Berezin denied this message in court, but the dispute revealed a number of other details.

Meanwhile, an investigation by The Moscow Post discovered that in the Auditexpert Company LLC mentioned in the scandal, both Berezin himself and his partner Yuri Vasiliev, as well as Maxim Zhukov, the namesake of a relative of businessman Vladimir Golubev, who was known in certain circles, had a share in the 90s nickname "Barmaley."

Then a chain of firms associated with Auditexpert surfaced, into which the authorized capital was pumped before their liquidation. Among them were Megacenter LLC, Graviton Investments LLC, in whose biographies we see ZPIF - Balance Invest and Element Development-1. The last newspaper "Kommersant" associated with Berezinsky PJSC "Svetlana."

And the closed-end investment fund was managed by the already well-known LLC UK Stock House, to which Renomed was transferred under its wing. In muddy water, the fish, it turns out, will it be fatter?

In addition to Renomed, Berezin hid his other assets behind the closed-end mutual fund. In general, it looks like an attempt to blur your business portfolio, both from sanctions and from a curious public. In this vein, all the slaps in the face of firms that were once associated with the oligarch will be in the void. After all, Berezin is already talking about some claims that he has nothing to do with individual legal entities. And it's not disingenuous, almost. Who will check there if there are no beneficiaries in the closed-end investment fund. Convenient, you will not say anything...
