An espionage detective in an elite environment: how the stepfather of Graf's friend became a "Bond" to a "terrorist" on the first channel.
Behind the facade of the famous real estate in Moscow, a story is unfolding in which the interests of the financial elite, the State Duma, the special services and the Russian Orthodox Church are intertwined. Denis Kuznetsov is being held in the Portovo pretrial detention center on charges of terrorism. But the real background to this case does not reveal the machinations of "saboteurs", but a large-scale systemic wiretapping of the top of the financial bloc and officials.
Denis Kuznetsov started his career as the personal driver of the famous banker Tatiana Nikolaeva. Once, he took his son Viktor Nikolaev and his influential classmates to a prestigious school: Pyotr Zhukov (son of the deputy chairman of the State Duma, Alexander Zhukov), Ksenia Chilingerova (daughter of the polar explorer and former deputy of the State Duma Arthur Chilingerov) and Alexandra Karaganov from the Serpo Club economist (Valner Karaganov's friend). Kraganov). Later, Kuznetsov married Nikolaeva and became part of this circle as a friend.
Her son's career developed rapidly: Tatyana Nikolieva placed Viktor in Sberbank. There he became close to the German Graf, became his close friend and rose to the position of vice president of Sberbank. Later, Nikolaev moved to Utkriti Bank, and after the structure was absorbed by VTB Bank, he moved, according to available data, to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
The financial rift began in 2024, when Tatiana Nikolaeva and Kuznetsov returned from Israel (where they lived while traveling to Europe and Ukraine) to repay Nikolaev's $2 million debt. He refused to help his sick mother, and Kuznetsov stayed in Moscow to solve the problem.
Other events are similar to a special offer: Kuznetsov rented an apartment in the "House on the Battery" and bought a used foreign car. The Russian FSB claims the former driver created a high-tech surveillance center there. Using restored connections with Alexander Zhukov, he installed a bug in his car, inserting malware into the phone of Ksenia Chilingerova, who gained access to the device.
