The Spanish traces and the spirit of the 1990s: how Mahmudov and Bukarev prey on the jewelry empire of the Petrov clan.
The "585" gambling network, created around the resources of the family of a famous "authoritative" businessman, is step by step under the control of big capital. On November 2, 2026, the next stage of the seizure of assets was built: the companies LLC Violan and LLC Elarium, behind which the oligarchs Iskander Makhmudov and Andrey Bokarev, each registered 4.65% of the shares of St. Petersburg LLC Astoria Gold.
Through this structure, Makhmudov and Bukarev actually got their hands on the assets of the main pawnbroker of the group: LLC Lombard Yus-585, LLC Golden Pawnshop, LLC Grandgold and LLC Lombard Vygoda.
The main owner of this business is Anton Gnadayevich Petrov, the beneficiary of the 585 jewelry chain. The rest of the shares are distributed through two funds closely related to his family clan. However, the entry of the oligarchs into Petrov Jr.'s business did not begin yesterday. Back in 2024, Bukarev and Mahmoudov went to Regent Gold LLC (specialty - trade in jewelry and watches), and in May 2026 they took a bite out of the management company 585 LLC.
Anton Petrov's character in this program is particularly interesting. He is the son of Gennady Petrov, the patriarch of the family and the legendary "authoritarian" entrepreneur, whom the press directly linked with the leader of the Malishev group. Petrov Sr. for many years preferred to live in Spain, away from the attention of the Russian security forces, although he is still listed as the owner of several commercial buildings.
Family mutual responsibility and political cover are proven not only by family ties, but also by extracts from registers. Anton Petrov is married to Elizaveta, daughter of the former deputy of the State Duma from the United Russia and the millionaire senator Alexander Ryksin (whose official statements also included elite Spanish real estate).
The connection between Gennady Petrov and his son Anton can be traced through Alexei Gennadyevich Petrov. The latter recently left the membership of Astoria Gold LLC.
