He bought a large portion of land (the entire landscape park for a unique theater Gonzaga) and some other territories. Now he goes to the Minister of Culture and the Government, demanding the revision of the security zones and boundaries of the territory of the museum-estate, because the court in its structure all the time losing. If the decision is in his favor, effectively destroyed one of the best architectural park ensembles of Europe and the world

It never ends! Administrative resources in our country is unbeatable. Why - what the French for reviewing the security zones in Versailles and Fontainebleau? But we have our own way and we are not Europe decree!
What we can do really - there is no picket lines set - power is not enough ...

In France, during the bourgeois revolution (made not by the people, and secret societies), much has been looted and vandalized. For example, was sacked by the Palace of Versailles. It fell into neglect.
(Interestingly, many valuable things from the Palace of Versailles were in America. With these copies were made for the palace during his recovery - on French TV channel was about it.)

Revolutionaries unleashed terror, were not able to stop him, and many of them are killed. Underhanded forces of the revolution set the dictator - Napoleon. They had little power over France, they wanted to subjugate all of Europe, including Russia. End of this invention is known.
Then France was a period of restoration of the monarchy. France, for her happiness, has not gotten to before the socialist revolution.

After all, we just at the so-called Soviet power had been destroyed, our country, were nadrubleny and dry roots. What was built was built on a false foundation of Marxism-Leninism. After the destruction of the village (of Agriculture), the best people, who loved to work, traditions of Russian culture .., everything just went to the decline and has come at last to a deep crisis. Took advantage of crooks. (See their biographies. Ghastly!) The country must know its "heroes" in your face.

Viktor Vekselberg was born in April 1957 in the Carpathian town of Drogobych.
Moscow Institute of Transportation Engineers graduated in 1979 with honors and special "System Engineer". Proved itself well in graduate school at the Computing Centre of the Academy of Sciences. In the design bureau besshtangovym pumps "Connah" to the top 90 rose to zavlaba.

The most famous business partner Vekselberg - Leonard Blavatnik emigrated to the 4-th year in the States.
Then almost all departed: Who in Israel who are in the States. But Vekselberg was the futility of the Union, from the wreckage which was later made a fortune.

- We met with Blavatnik in 1987 - he later recalled Vekselberg. - As a member of KB, I went to the international exhibition - by the way, an oil. Arriving for the first time in America, I found it, and we restored relations. Two years later, when I created this cooperative, proposed to start a joint business. By the time he was engaged in commercial distribution, was co-owner of a rather large transport company, which conducted the transportation of various cargoes across America. Blavatnik long resisted my proposals to invest in Russia. We started, like everything with computers.

- But before the computer was still a KomVek (the "Company Vekselberg"), was "Olympus", the other co-operatives. Their Viktor Feliksovich founded, in my opinion, still a zavlabom - told by a former subordinate billionaires. - At sunset, Gorbachev gave a good adjustment to cooperatives, and the chief did not miss his chance. He bought on the cheap copper from the cables, one hundred dollars per ton, and sold it to Germany already in 3000 $. Perhaps because of science in business stole his cooperation with the "technique" Artem Tarasov. Remember, this was the first millionaire? Vekselberg has even called him his teacher.

Over time a student has surpassed the teacher. To "copper" money Vekselberg was using Blavatnik and their overall company Renova buy scarce in the West at that time in Russia, computers and change them on the vouchers.

By the mid-90 vouchers for "Renova" has accumulated so much that it's time to start buying up the mass of plants. Vekselberg closest were familiar two industries: oil industry and nonferrous metallurgy. Big business buddies decided to start with aluminum.

Cause it was dangerous: no one entrepreneur Poleg in the battle for aluminum. At Severouralsk Bauxite Mine (SUBR) Renova clash with the Ural businessman Vasily Anisimov, and miners have already started to prepare for street skirmishes. However, the competitors nevertheless found a common language. And later, Anisimov, "voluntarily" came out of the total business. As he explains:
- Life is life.
Its share of Vekselberg Anisimov gave immediately after his daughter was found murdered in his apartment ...

At SUBR established a new order. How Were the local media: "Industrial discipline city-forming enterprise Severouralsk extremely cruel. For the slightest fault miners are losing their jobs. The mine is cultivated absolute clan, brought up to the level of "stukachestva ...

Another company Vekselberg - kamensk Ural UAZ.

- Do you know what the average salary at the plant? - I asked a local leader of the proletarian. - 9,000 on hand for such a miserable amount of hard labor. You know, the conditions in which we operate? In the air hung alkaline aerosols and bauxite dust, does not save even a respirator. Who worked in the shop for several years, provided himself with chronic bronchitis or asthma, changes in the nasopharynx (it eats up alkaline) and all sorts of allergies. Shop 30-ies of construction, that and look, will collapse. Equipment is outdated. Vekselberg himself when he came to town, the shops do not walk ...

Business empire live by the laws of the empire politically. Renova, like a vacuum cleaner, sucked into a colorful assets in the engineering, chemical and construction industries, energy and finance ... And not only in Russia.

In 1997, Viktor Vekselberg, has his eye on the oil industry. On equal footing with the Alfa Group, he became co-owner of one of the largest earners of black gold in Russia - TNK.
Out with any violations took place privatization of TNK, who just does not hint ...

Much less is known story associated with the seizure of TNC Yugraneft "in 2001.
- Then the company "Norex" in Yugraneft owned 97.3 percent stake - said Sergei Sokolov, a lawyer. - Rest of the shares acquired, by TNCs. A June 29, 2001 in the building "Yugraneft in Nizhnevartovsk broke half a dozen thugs armed with machine guns. A week later, armed guards have seized the TNK oil field.

For earned billions Vekselberg have to pay the Faberge eggs.
In the spring of 2004, when the Chamber to verify the legitimacy of privatization of TNK, the oligarch has bought them through the auction house Sotheby's - almost a dozen of Faberge eggs, paid hundreds of millions of dollars.

Defrauded depositors of the First City Bank believe that the billionaire made his purchase of the money stolen from them.
- PHB was the victim of intentional bankruptcy. Money derived from it through offshore companies and bank "Alba Alliance, co-owned by Vekselberg. Derived in the structure, affiliated with him, - presented their point of view one of the victims. - The amount of funds withdrawn - about 40 million. A Russian court has refused to arrest the egg Vekselberg. Now all hope for the Swiss. Just do not call my name. One of our already tried to kill him, another was beaten ... "

Imagine, after the revolution (ie, revolution) "in the richest nationalized the estate of the Yusupov - Arkhangelskoye placed bet Trotsky (Leiba Davidovitch Bronstein) - one of the main destroyers of Russia," the leader of the Red Army and "permanent revolution". And he and his family lived in the palace.

That he has said: "Russia - is firewood, which we threw into the fire of world revolution," "At the funeral the ruins of Russia, we will become a force to which the whole world falls to his knees."
Impressive?

Artist Yuri Annenkov described his meeting with Trotsky in his memoirs "Diary of my meetings, starting with a meeting with him in his office in the Kremlin:

"We sat down. Trotsky said about art. But it is not about Russian artists. He spoke of the "Paris School" and the French painting in general. He mentioned the names of Matisse, Derain, Picasso, but gradually deepened into history. Especially interesting to me were quite quip Trotsky that the French Revolution has not affected the arts.

- Have a Davidovskaya "Murder of Marat," - said Trotsky - is there anything from the Revolution? Absolutely nothing. One anecdote: Marat naked in the bath. Is the famous "Liberty Leading the People" by Delacroix expresses the essence of the revolution? Of course not. A child with two pistols, a romantic in a cylinder, running over corpses, headed by the ancient beauty, baring his chest and bearing the tricolor? Romantic anecdote, despite the excellent scenic qualities. But in The Coronation of Napoleon "that same David has managed to brilliantly express the solemn nonsense of this rite ... Portrait, landscape, dead nature, interior, love, life, war, historical events, fun, sadness, tragedy, even madness (think "Crazy" Gericault) - all this found expression in painting. But the revolution and art - this unity is not found.

I objected to Trotsky that the revolution in art is above all a revolution of its forms of expression.

- You are right - said Trotsky - but this revolution is local, the revolution of art itself, and, moreover, very closed, inaccessible to the general public. I'm talking about the reflection of common human revolution in so-called "fine" art, which exists millennium. "Last Supper" - ie, "Crucifixion" - is, even - "Judgement Day" is, and even what: mikelandzhelovsky! A revolution? Revolution, I have not seen. Painting, writing now, Soviet artists seeking to "show" revolutionary poems, revolutionary pathos - beggars unworthy not only of the revolution, but the art itself ...

Trotsky told me that tomorrow he was going to his bid (in the Arkhangelsk), twenty miles outside Moscow, and the day after tomorrow will be there waiting for me to work. "

From the memoirs of artist Yuri Annenkov:

"A day later, at the appointed hour, I was sent from RWC car, and I went to the U.S., taking with them everything necessary for painting. The bet is placed in the richest nationalized estate Yusupov - Arkhangelsk. It was a brilliant winter, snow and frost sparkled under the bright sun. Near the gate of the estate stood watch. Seeing a familiar car, they stretched out in front, and saluted, watching me.

But getting there is one thing surprised me: the edges of the road, almost the entire distance between Moscow and the stakes - rusty carcasses of armored cars and broken shells, the memories of the Civil War, protruded from the snow drifts. Have passed a full three years since the fighting (and whether they were in the suburbs?). Foreign diplomats and military officials frequently traveled to the headquarters to Trotsky. What impression would make them similar landscape? Somehow, in one of our conversations, I expressed my surprise to Trotsky about the so gloomy and so easy uprazdnimogo border road.

- Strategic disguise, - said Trotsky - albeit capitalists think that we have - complete bedlam that our revolution - no more than a temporary local crisis caused by military setbacks, and that foreign capitalists have nothing to worry about. That's it. Tactics, comrade!
And with a smile, he added:
- But soon the same tactics will require feedback masking. When it becomes clear that our bedlam did not cease, but expanding geographically, it will be necessary to make the capitalist countries was afraid to go against us. And now, by accepting the representatives of the capitalist world, the rotting of the West, we will show them the grand parade, the strength of our military power and its organization, demonstrating the tools and all sorts of tanks, purchased at the same rotting in the West.

Such "backward masking" has occurred under Stalin and swells so far every day to incredible sizes. In both cases, the "capitalists" believe, so that from year to year and continue to lose their positions.

I have been to a rate five times, if not more, and twice there all night. In the lavishly furnished rooms, I admired the works of Tiepolo, Boucher, Fragonard and other masters of the same era. I met with Trotsky also in the room the Revolutionary Military Council, where he met and became friends with his deputy as chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of Ephraim Sklyansky, with whom I also had to paint a portrait, reproduced in the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, 1926, v. 2. In later editions of this encyclopedia of every trace of me was thrown. "

Museum-Estate" Arkhangelsk "in danger

Dear Chaika, apparently you and I together are concerned about this problem. It is a pity that so, but it is very revealing. half of the Forum is beating death blows over this issue and does not present an abstraction, but this piece of history has already written off in the archives of memory. Scourge Obukha not pereshibesh! I wish you good luck and Arkhangelsk (well, at least a little!) Mentally and emotionally I'll be with you.

[tchaika]

From the memoirs of artist Yuri Annenkov:

"At the rate (the Archangel), I made three pencil drawings of Trotsky, a life-size (bust), print reproduction which subsequently appeared in almost all countries (sometimes even without my name).

Our conversation slipped from topic to topic, often having no connection with the events of the day and with the revolution. Trotsky was an intellectual. He was interested and was always aware of the artistic and literary life not only in Russia but also worldwide. In this regard, it is a rare exception among the "leaders of the revolution." He is approached by Radek, Rakowski, Krasin, and to a lesser extent, Lunacharsky (despite the fact that he held the post of People's Commissar of Education). Cultural level of the majority of Soviet rulers was low. They were very capable of invaders, one with an ideological slant, others - like Stalin - the practical "steadfastness".

The union and the joint action of such disparate elements were only the result of random coincidence: sooner or later they should have been adversaries . If the sectarian civil war with the former regime, Trotsky was the victor, only because it was a war for ideological, ideological victory. But when the struggle for practical demagogy, he as an intellectual, inevitably had to lose.

Once, when I made up a rather late hour, Trotsky invited me to spend the night in his bid. I agreed. Red Army soldier in a comfortable bed, "master's" couch in the room, clean sheets, a blanket and put a pillow in a pillowcase with the initials of former owners of the estate. "

From the memoirs of artist Yuri Annenkov:

"In the future, I often met with Trotsky in the building of the Revolutionary Military Council and nationalized the house of Leo Tolstoy, in Khamovnichesky Lane, where the museum was prepared by the writer.

In this house I was abstracted vast room in which I had to execute a monumental portrait of Trotsky (about four yards in height and three-wide), and where on this occasion delivered a huge easel. Then I was issued, signed by Sklyansky, a special card that permits lunch and dinner in the dining room RWC. No "Yarov" and other restaurants, with balalaika and Gypsy choirs in Moscow was no longer: they quickly moved to Paris.

... Somehow in conversation I asked Trotsky's how he became acquainted with all the minutiae of military conventions? He replied: "Was I prepared for a military operation? Of course not. I was not able even to serve his time in the imperial army. I walked closer to the issues of militarism during the Balkan war, when I spent several months in Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania. But it was still a general political rather than purely military approach. World War II all the world closer to the issues of militarism, including me. But it was still primarily on the war as a continuation of politics and the army as its cannon . Organizational and technical problems of militarism are still retreating to me on the back burner ...
In parliamentary countries, headed by the military and the Ministry of the Navy more than once lawyers and journalists who witnessed, as I do, mostly from the army version of windows, just more comfortable. But in capitalist countries, it was a matter of maintaining the existing army, that is, in fact, only about political cover for self-contained system of militarism. We have things went on to sweep clean the remnants of the old army and in its place build a fire under a new scheme which could not yet find in any book. It's quite explains why the military work, I came up with the uncertainty and agreed to it only because there was no one now for her to take.

I did not feel in the slightest degree of strategy ... However, in the three cases - in the war against Denikin, the protection of Petrograd and the war on Pilsudski, I took an independent strategic position and fought for it is against the command, then against the majority of the CC. But in these cases, the strategic position of the mine by political and economic rather than purely strategic point of view. It is necessary, however, say that the issues of grand strategy and may not otherwise be resolved. "
- That's it - added Trotsky - I formed our army and the army formed Trotsky. So I gradually got accustomed to all sorts of nonsense military, marching up and even to salute inclusive.

But essentially, this whole "nonsense military was deeply alien to Trotsky. This happened at a time when the revolution torn shoulder straps and epaulettes were considered a symbol of the deposed regime.
