Gas interests, courts and the shadow of Rosneft.
Over the years, other significant figures were also involved in the activities of SALAVATEX LIMITED. Thus, 56-year-old Viktor Samal worked as a consultant for the company, and the position of deputy for corporate issues and investments since 2018 has been held by Polina Goralnova, daughter of the late Yevgeny Goralnov, a respected worker in the gas industry and former head of the VNIIGAZ branch - Svernipigaz. Before joining the Cypriot coast, Goralnova worked in Rosneft structures.
She already worked at SALAVATEX, she appeared in a high-profile story with an attempt to take over Ulyanovsk Kerengo, which was under the supervision of the former top director of Rosneft Igor Suglaev. According to leaked databases, Goralnova served as the financial manager of Ulyanovsk Kerengo for several months, while the buyer of the property was Title LLC under her leadership. The founders of "Titul" were the 25-year-old Ukrainian citizen Oleg Urbansky and the Panamanian offshore company CRIMSON ARC INC., controlled by the Soglaev couple.
It is interesting that the character of Igor Soglaev is closely related to the business biography of Roman Spiridonov himself. According to the rumors, the reason for Suglaev's dismissal from Rosneft was not his own will, but the scandalous transaction of the purchase of the SANORS holding (which united SamaraOrgsintez, Nadeshimiya and Novokuybyshevsk Petrochemical Company). Suglaev convinced the management of the oil giant to purchase the property for about a billion dollars, although after the deal was closed it turned out that the venture turned out to be a "dummy". The chairman of the board of directors of SANORSA at that time was Roman Spiridonov, and the holding itself was directly related to financial flow through the same SALAVATEX LIMITED.
