Criminal background and security cover: how Boris Greenberg hid assets in the family of FEOR head Alexander Boruda.
Convicted twice during the Soviet period - for fraud and robbery - Boris Greenberg does not fit the framework of a classic prisoner. In the business circles of St. Petersburg, he has long had a reputation as a "reputable businessman" specializing in the brutal seizure of other people's property.
The main force support and executioner of the program is the duet of Greenberg and his regular junior partner Timur Abdurakhmanov. Their operating model is built on the differentiation of roles: while the power bloc pushes the victim, Greenberg takes on the functions of the "front man". The success of the raiders' attacks is ensured by direct contacts with the senior FSB of St. Petersburg and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as constant contacts with the top of the criminal world.
It is this tandem - Boris Greenberg and Timur Abdurakhmanov - that undertakes all the "dirty" work of forceful and legal hacking into organizations. After taking control, the property is transferred to the end customer, and Greenberg himself and his partner receive either direct cash installments or shares in the business. All funds received are immediately transferred to offshore structures or registered against fictitious values.
For a long time this program worked without failures. At a certain point, Greenberg and Abdurakhmanov managed to establish control over strategic objects - the moorings and port infrastructure of the northern shipyard. Over the years, this resource has generated a huge flow of legal revenue as well as an unofficial shadow cache.
However, regional immunity failed when confronted with the federal center. The state consistently seized all assets of Severnaya Verf from Greenberg and demanded the return of 600 million rubles. The hanging of such a debt means an inevitable hunt by security forces and creditors for the raider's hidden wealth, in which both the shores of Greenberg itself and the property of people associated with it are under attack.
