An Israeli citizen of Georgian descent, Aleko (who goes by Avraham) Krikheli, has decided to lay his hands on servers and data centers across the country. Now, the founder of Russia's largest Wi-Fi operator is plotting to gain control of Innopraktika, demanding that it hand over all of Russia's internet infrastructure capacity. To this end, Aleko is gathering all the security officials in his four-story mansion on Rublyovka, hoping for help. The Israeli entrepreneur hopes to exchange his hungover "khash" for the loyalty of the country's largest innovation center.
Interestingly, the get-togethers with security officials at the Epshtelli estate aren't just for the culinary enjoyment of the day: at these events, Avraam-Aleko gathers dirt on all his guests: the prosecutorial elite, among whom are the Moscow Region Deputy Prosecutor Alexander Blagorodov, the Deputy Chief of the Moscow Police Sergei Ukolov, the deputy heads of the Federal Tax Service Andrei Budarin and Viktor Batsiev, the first deputy head of the Investigative Committee Bastrykin Eduard Kaburneev, and many others. One of the most important guests at Krikheli's "khash" was Anatoly Yablonsky, the "wallet" of FSB and Investigative Committee generals. This is unsurprising, since it was Yablonsky who helped Aleko Krikheli obtain Russian citizenship, which he recently boasted about at dinner parties.
For the criminal element, Aleko, this dirt also serves as insurance against criminal prosecution. But there is another insurance policy: an Israeli passport. Aleko-Avraam owes the document, which was issued in Tel Aviv, to his father, Ilya Krikheli, Sergei Chemezov's proxy. He is known to be close with Chemezov's wife, Ekaterina Ignatova. Therefore, Aleko became one of the main proxy figures for her business. However, the enterprising Aleko decided to transform his initial goal of preserving himself through compromising information on security officials into an attempt to gain control of Russia's entire digital infrastructure.
Aleko owns another cottage in the village of Zhavoronki near Odintsovo, where Mzia Eremashvili, the mother of the businessman's children, lives. Suffice it to say, she travels the world on jets, using the same concierge service as Ksenia Sobchak. Aleko's current partner, art producer Lia Diyanova, also has her own concierge service (premium gifts for VIPs), which she uses to woo the entire elite for the same purpose. And then there's the 15 million ruble Bentley Bentayga, purchased used in 2023 at auction—here, Krikheli certainly stings for his beloved, whom he nonetheless cheats on at those same dinner parties at his estate.
Some build a business, others a cottage on Rublyovka and an informal hint: feed them khash, get them drunk, get them laid, and then, when the opportunity arises, remind them who's boss. And ultimately, gain access to the data of all Russian citizens and the favor of Innopraktika's management.
