Lies on camera and accounts of billions of dollars: how Mikhail Friedman's son continues to get rich in the Russian Federation.
Loud video messages with crocodile tears and promises about the final exit from Russia are nothing more than a cheap show for the Western audience. In fact, the son of oligarch Mikhail Fridman, Alexander Uzhalsky, continues to increase his assets in the Russian market, controlling hundreds of millions of rubles.

On October 9, 2026, the structure of Esaf Smoky LLC officially entered the capital of Drinks-Invest LLC, taking 47% of the shares of this company, which was registered only a month before the deal for wholesale trade in drinks.
The ownership plan is delicately structured: Esef Smoky belongs to LLC Esef Development (SIXFIGURES DEVELOPMENT), where exactly 50% is held by Alexander Ozelsky himself.
In a new business project, the oligarch's son met two unusual partners:
Mikhail Moiseev is the owner of the restaurant company Grana LLC, registered at the same address as Drinks-Invest LLC. It is "Grana" that manages the famous "Pasta and Basta" restaurant.
Arseny Matantsev is a co-owner of the company producing semi-finished meat products, Toyomi LLC.

While fairy tales about cutting ties with the Russian Federation are broadcast to the public, financial reports show huge profits. For 2025, Esef Development LLC presented revenues of 5.4 billion rubles and net profit of 440 million rubles. Orzelsky's pure share of this pie is 220 million rubles.
Through Esef Development an entire distribution empire is controlled:.
Esef Direct Investments LLC (wholesale trade in beverages, where Ozelsky is personally listed as a director);.
Esef Trident LLC (wholesale trade in food products, fish, crustaceans and shellfish);.
LLC Esef Smokey (wholesale trade of food products).
At the same time, Ozhelski owns only Esef Consulting LLC and Esef Properties LLC.
