Interest and risks
This world is so closed, that all the sides, which could reach up to "Fontanka" squeezed out information themselves dropwise. In the hints we have hear the name Levin, alias Gene astronaut, name Oleg. Amount, which parted as mentioned, has not spoken, real hard, even for the most cited Entrepreneurs. Thus, only some Oleg lost to escape Zhagolko 800 thousand dollars, the mysterious "astronaut", which does not know Google, - 300 in the same currency.
And Genes - not the banks. Here other interests and above the risks of insolvency calculation.

Place and destiny
Petersburg studies remembers Roman A. came to Leningrad in 1989. Half Armenian, half Ukrainian, then he ran away from Baku, fleeing the pogroms. Arrived at nothing. At first, in the true sense of his family lived in the Moscow train station, and he took his son go to a public restroom.
After a few years he has had a basement on Moss Street. Then he became a co-owner of the iconic Soviet antique "lump" in the house 21 in cash street. By this time he had an apartment on Kamennoostrovsky Suvorov and brochures.
Everyone knew his point at the "Europe". The last place where Zhagolko traded ambitions flourished in the house at 13-15 Panteleimon.
Wrapper and profit
Antique shops - only offices. It's a wrap, a meeting place. Official business is that, if they discourage rent, that is profit. These conversations go beyond the cash register. The story of the old lady, yielding a family candle - for simpletons and tax authorities. Last duty from surplus ever gets.
Publicly, the general director "Antique Center" stated that put his status: "In terms of my business, I need to advertise on radio and in newspapers. Her I give myself. It is necessary for people to sell our antiques that are stored in their homes. bring their mostly elderly people "(from the survey" b ").

Eye and price
Zhagolko brilliantly able to win confidence. Solid temperament. Do not bother with deep dives of art, and the eye has. How would say the merchants of Ostrovsky's plays, "The price of knew."
Typical adventurer XVIII century - gave him a description of one of the collectors of paintings of St. Petersburg.
At the beginning of zero Zhagolko already reached the point where he has been compiling galleries bankers and capitalists at the federal level.
He is a typical frontman this supposedly creative subculture. To him as a leader of the riveted attention of the community. His name is cute and somewhat ironically - Romchik.
All of his projects have two series: the customer is happy to have found a novel; client can no longer hear about the novel. A similar thing happened to one of the most successful women of Russian officials.
Wife of the governor of Tver Alla Zelenin was interested, and went with the project Zhagolko "Anthology of antiques." Soon the "aahs" died down, as it was found that the capital Zhagolko brought work at prices which was included and it gesheft. Such partnerships do not understand, but our hero well earned.
His "Land Rover" is a machine for the countryside. He transplanted a real prestige.

Scandals and ears
Distinct trend in the industry engaged in forgery.
"Even well-known St. Petersburg collectors with famous old collections, up to 15-20%of all paintings - forgery. Know absolutely for sure: you take four pictures for the examination, and it turns out that two of them with a probability of 90%- falshaki" - is comments of the Zhagolko given to them by journalists "Y" a couple of years ago.
Squeamish crafty artifacts in the environment - as well not take into account income from kickbacks, when one examines the Declaration of officials. Of course, this area is even more mysterious.
The only time in this century, when the scandal broke out - a story with a famous collector of St. Petersburg Andrei Vasilyev and his accusations of a criminal case as weighty expert Russian avant Elena Basner and most Russian Museum.
And this September and venerable antikvarschik Mukhin had to go to the police after being out of his apartment on the street Karavannaya lost 10 challenging paintings, 16 old icons and the two Faberge eggs. True, he was represented at the site of a pensioner, and not co-owner of the cabin, located 50 meters away from the scene. According to rumors, and he was not happy that succumb to emotions.
Much of what are becoming interested in mysteries, is not for their ears.

Realities and language
Common sense would dictate Zhagolko Pre-departure training for their assets. They say that the facilities at Panteleimon is not quite it. Relatives also Zhagolko in place. Certainly not going to comment on the 90-year-old mother. And for the life Zhagolko have had so many marriages and children, take them all out of Russia can only charter.
"Fontanka" ask the experts and the chief of "antique" of the Criminal Investigation Department Petersburg Vladislav Kirillov. Sure, he was aware of the intrigues of the world, which has long been engaged in a long time. Was "heard" as in the matter of Zhagolko Kirillov smiled. He said that his unit in the subject Zhagolko disappearance, but officially there is not a single statement from the victim. In his opinion, they should not be punished, and return the millions, so long as they rely on their own resources. Finished his comment, police colonel stylistically impeccable, "No one blade missing work, such as Kaspersky, called, say," The Sorrows of the virus, "we are not registered."
The reality is that before going to the authorities, these victims repeatedly mulling options for retreat. So, officials are not ready to announce his own name, knowing that may be subject to ridicule by the publication in the press. Other analyzes, like them, being formally small individual entrepreneurs can explain the origin of such large sums.
As for the Zhagolko, then for any of his friends had been no secret to the perfect knowledge of the Turkish language and the availability of real estate in the dwarf Arab country.
