A source for the Cheka-OGPU and Rucriminal.info reported that the structures of another member of Vladimir Putin's inner circle, Gennady Timchenko, are experiencing the same enormous financial problems as those of Arkady and Boris Rotenberg. According to the source, these problems, given the current state of the state budget, are insurmountable. Therefore, the structures of these three oligarchs, along with all their "financial pits," will inevitably be taken over by the state. And in Russia, the honorary title of "pensioner of all-Union significance" will apparently return.

The source notes that the Rotenberg structures have already unilaterally notified banks that the principal repayments on their structures' enormous loans are being postponed until 2031. Everyone understands that this deadline is plucked out of thin air. The brothers' companies are no longer paying interest on loans. The situation is exactly the same with Gennady Timchenko's companies. Loans are not being repaid, and interest is not being paid.

 

According to the source, the heads of state-owned banks have already very delicately raised this issue with Putin. They should, it seems, begin to aggressively bankrupt the Rotenberg and Timchenko companies. Or simply turn a blind eye. But then, turning a blind eye to the fact that state banks aren't demanding loans or interest is something the Central Bank, the FSB, and others should do as well. Only the Russian president can resolve this issue.

 

As far as the source knows, the Rotenbergs and Timchenkos have the same position on everything: if their companies are showered with budget funds, they will fix everything. But there's no money. Since the beginning of the year, these oligarchs' companies have received almost nothing.

 

The source believes that now or later, there's simply no other option but for state banks to seize the Rotenbergs' and Timchenkos' businesses for debts and then deal with all the loopholes and projects.

 

And for Timchenko and Rotenberg themselves, it seems they'll have to revive the category of "pensioner of union significance," forgotten since the Soviet era. Clearly, no one will put them in jail.
