Biography

edit

Chemezov was born on 20 August 1952 in the city of Cheremkhovo in Irkutsk Oblast.[4]

Chemezov graduated with honours from Irkutsk Institute of National Economy (presently Baikal State University of Economics and Law)[5] in 1975 and then completed his postgraduate education at the Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia. Chemezov has a doctorate in economics and is also a professor and full member of the Military Academy.[6]

At the Irkutsk Scientific and Research Institute of Rare and Nonferrous Metals, Chemezov provided economic assessment of deposits as an engineer, a research associate, and chief laboratory assistant for six months from 15 October 1975 to 28 April 1976 while he was waiting for his paperwork to process to enter the ranks of the KGB.[7]

East Germany and Putin

edit

From 1980 to 1988 as KGB, he worked at "Luch" Research-Industrial Association which was the KGB surveillance operation gathering scientific and technical intelligence in the communist controlled German Democratic Republic (GDR).[4][7] From 1983 to 1988, Chemezov served as the head[8] of the Luch Association representative office in East Germany, where he met Vladimir Putin and Nikolay Tokarev. Tokarev, Chemezov and Putin worked for their KGB boss Lazar Matveev while in East Germany and both Chemezov and Putin lived in the same block of flats in Dresden.[9] There they became friends.[9] According to their colleague and former KGB officer Vladimir Gortanov (also known as Usoltsev) (Russian: Владимир Гортанов (Усольцев)), Chemezov worked in Directorate K, which is counterintelligence, and attempted to recruit KGB operatives from West Germany's counterintelligence community especially the West German military counterintelligence or at least from the West German criminal police.[10][b]

From 1988 to 1996, Chemezov, as the KGB controller with the 3rd department of the 11th department of the 5th department of the KGB, was deputy CEO of the "Sovintersport" Foreign Trade Association under the leadership of Viktor Galaev (Russian: Виктор Галаев).[16][17][18][c] Sovintersport, which held a monopoly on Soviet sports with the West, is a portmanteau of Soviet, International, Export, and Sport formed by Putin and Chemezov.[19][20][21]

Kremlin aide to Putin

edit

From 1996 to 1999, he was chairman of the Department for Foreign Economic Relations within the Office for Presidential Affairs, serving under Putin.[22] Later he transitioned to the position of chairman of the Department for Foreign Economic Relations of the Presidential Administration of Russia.[22] During this time and although both Ukraine and Georgia objected, Chemezov was pivotal in securing for Russia, Russia's correct share from the former USSR's state property, state archives and state debts.[22]

Head of Promexport and Rosoboronexport

edit

From September 1999 to November 2000, Chemezov served as CEO of Promexport. In August 2000, he became a member of the Presidential Committee on Military and Engineering Cooperation between Russia and Foreign Countries. From November 2000 to April 2004, Chemezov served as first deputy CEO of Rosoboronexport and then as its CEO from 2004 to 2007.[23] After Rosoboronexport obtained an 66% stake in VSMPO-Avisma in October 2006, Sergey Chemezov became chairman of VSMPO-AVISMA in November 2006.[24]

At the 6th United Russia party convention held on 2 December 2006, Chemezov was elected to the party's Supreme Council. At the 7th party convention on 26 May 2012, Chemezov was reelected.

In 2011, Chemezov, Makarov, and Alexei Miller, chairman of Gazprom, were the supervisory board of Team Katyusha (Russian: Катюша), which was formed in 2008,[28] and, along with Novikombank (Russian: ЗАО АКБ «НОВИКОМБАНК») and Transneft (Russian: ОАО «АК «Транснефть»), their companies, Rostec, ITERA, and Gazprom, respectively, were the major sponsors of Katyusha.[29][30][d][e]

On 12 September 2014 as part of a much wider expansion of its programme, Chemezov was sanctioned by the European Union over the war in Ukraine.[39] The same day, Chemerov was mentioned in a communiqué of the US Treasury because the firm he directs was subjected to sanctions as part of a sweeping ban on the Russian defence sector.[40] The joint September 2014 sanctions packages had been agreed in principle at the 2014 NATO Wales summit.[41]

Through Serguei Adoniev's charitable contributions, Chemezov had become an influence in the Novaya Gazeta press since 2014.[42]

In February 2019, the Alexei Navalny linked Anti-Corruption Foundation discovered Chemezov's wife's Ekaterina Ignatova's apartment in the building located at the former site of the Moskva Hotel with a market value of about 5 billion rubles.[43]

Notes

edit
  1. ^ Flint Kaserne was established in 1936 as an "SS Führer School" for the SS-Verfügungstruppe and was renamed on August 8, 1937, as one of the first SS-Junkerschule
  2. ^ Allegedly, in addition to recruiting students from Latin America,[11] Vladimir Putin was interested in recruiting agents among East Germans who had relatives abroad, especially in West Germany. Chemezov's and Putin's headquarters wanted information about the Bavarian located United States military base "Flint Barracks" (German: Flint Kaserne)[a] at Bad Tölz, which housed the 1st Special Forces Battalion of the 10th Special Forces Group during the 1980s, and the military training grounds in Münster and Wildflecken. Putin searched for East Germans who had families in those regions or people who wanted to emigrate there. Putin also recruited foreigners who studied at the Dresden University of Technology because he wanted good prospects that would become future sources of information.[12][13][14][15]
  3. ^ The deputy head of the international department at the Russian Federation's Goskomsport (Russian: Госкомспорт) and also in the 3rd department of the 11th department of the 5th department of the KGB was KGB Colonel Emirik Merkuryevich Shevelev (Russian: Эмирик Меркурьевич Шевелев).[17][18]
  4. ^ Chemezov was involved with Igor Makarov in forming the main subsidiary of the ITERA Group, the Itera Oil and Gas Company, which was founded in 1992 with headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida and which Chemezov's first wife Yekaterina Iganatova held a 5% stake in ITERA.[19][20]
  5. ^ Donald Trump is believed to have met with members of Sovintersport during his 1987 trip to Russia so that he could have Russian boxers fight at his Atlantic City casino.[19] According to Vladimir Abramov (Russian: Владимир Абрамов) who was the deputy director of Sovintersport, Chemezov was attached to Sovintersport as a KGB controller and was incharge of all aspects of Sovintersport.[31] After his 1987 trip to Russia, Trump established the Tour de Trump and hosted the first Soviet cycling team in history, Alfa Lum, which Chemezov in 1989 claimed to have created.[19][32][33][34][35] Chemezov is chairman of the board of Russian Cycling while Igor Makarov is President of Russian Cycling.[32][36]
  6. ^ Serving in the KGB until 1991, Andrey Dolzhich (Russian: Андрей Должич) has many connections to Persian Gulf countries. In November 2005, Dolzhich's Natural and Organic Products, Inc and the Rosoboronexport subsidiary CJSC Tekhkom entered into a joint venture allowing its employees to be in Rosoboronexport offices globally.[16]
