From Lubyanka, with love: new financial and pornographic adventures of oligarch lobbyist Ivlev

The firm of Ekaterina Guryanova, the official wife of the notorious Kremlin oligarch lobbyist Pavel Ivlev, has filed bankruptcy. At the same time, P. Ivlev does not sense a need for finances and continues to flirt behind his wife’s back—with none other than a fake «human rights defender» recognised by Latvia as a national security threat.

Phantom companies avoid paying taxes

The limited liability company «Minute Clinic» owed 66,233 euros in taxes as of February 2024. On February 17, the Riga City Court announced the enterprise’s insolvency procedure and appointed Sintija Karstā as administrator.

Ekaterina Guryanova owns 6.21683% of the capital shares of «Minute Clinic» as an individual. She also owns an additional 5.54429% through the company, «DS RE,» in which she holds a 10.06247% share.

However, it is worth paying attention to the company J.Taylor LV. According to the Register of Enterprises, this company, wholly owned by Ekaterina Guryanova, had no official activities in 2023.

It should also be highlighted that the Ivlev-Guryanova family’s Jurmala property on Bulduru Avenue, 51, is owned by a Virgin Islands corporation (Britu Tortola, Trident Chambers, P.O.Box 146, Road Town) called «J.Taylor Jurmala Project Ltd.» The representative office of this company in Latvia was closed in 2021. The only legal entity was a 1948-born Russian citizen named Zoia Babenko.

The legal address Trident Chambers, P.O.Box 146, Road Town is a standard «dump.» This information is easily accessible in the «Offshore Leaks Database» project. As a result, the Ivlev-Guryanova couple’s activities in Latvia have raised suspicions of money laundering.

Is the «Ingermanland» circus serving oligarchs and Russian special services?

In business, like in politics, Pavel Ivlev prefers to simulate activity. For example, the House of Ingermanland in Narva, about which we previously wrote in the newspaper «Why does the lobbyist of the Kremlin oligarchs need the Free Ingermanland Platoon,» is merely a front. As for the soldiers, this gallant army of two, according to optimistic estimates, arrived in Ukraine, losing around half of its members in restaurants, pubs, and bus stops. The remaining half, represented by communist movement veteran Pavel Mizerin, returned to the European Union following a camouflage photo session. 

All of P. Ivlev’s political projects are substantially similar. However, imitating vigorous activity enables him to attend opposition events. But is he functioning only in the interests of the billionaires or as an agent of Putin’s special services? Pavel and his wife are known to possess property in Moscow, thus it looks that he benefits significantly from this. Despite being convicted and on the wanted list, he continued to practice law in Russia for a long time. Until 2020, Pavel Ivlev was a co-founder of the law company «ALM FELDMANS.» After it was liquidated, he resurfaced on the Ministry of Justice record as a working lawyer at «Kaganer and Partners.»

Our source reports:

— The legal firm «Kaganer and Partners» actively participated in the redistribution of the Military-Industrial Complex market in Russia in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and represented Sergey Chemezov and «Rostec.» According to those victims of this activity, «Kaganer and Partners» is a mediator and trusted structure of Chemezov, directly supervised by the FSB.

Feel like the oligarchs’ bitch

Following our revelations, P. Ivlev’s name was removed from the Russian Ministry of Justice website, and the head of the Ingermanland partisans now modestly refers to himself as a «lawyer.»

From Lubyanka with love!

Pavel Ivlev’s amorous, pornographic, and political adventures restart, and this time with tight contacts to Russian security structures taking on a sexual aspect. It was discovered that he had been working for an extended period with the famed Russian lawyer Maria Chashchilova. On Wednesday, February 19, 2024, the Latvian State Security Service identified this individual as a «threat to national security» and ordered her expulsion from the country.

Pavel Ivlev had planned to meet Maria on this particular day. Here’s a key detail: his wife, Ekaterina Guryanova, flew to the United States the day before. The available spot in bed turned out to be free.

However, three Latvian border guards disrupted their preparations. Maria Chashchilova was detained in a Riga residence on Blaumaņu Street. To fill the restaurant table and bed, Pavel had to stand up for the lady. He recruited lawyer Kristīne Bogdanova, who raced to assist him without any agreement with the client.

But three Latvian border guards disrupted the plans by detaining Maria Chashchilova in a Riga apartment on Blaumaniu Street, with the aim of deporting Maria from Latvia. Instead of Ivlevs, the rendezvous was attended by journalists, Maria’s friends, gawkers and lawyer Kristīne Bogdanova. She became a lawyer at the end of November 2024. But she is famous for something else. As members of the Financial Police, Kristīne and her husband Maksim (son of the former head of the Organized Crime Bureau, Leonid Bogdanova, and later the director of the security service of LasRosTrans, part of the Ventspils nafta group) were suspected of divulging state secrets.

After leaving the Financial Police, Maksims Bogdanov joined the security service of the company «Amber Latvijas balzams,» controlled by vodka king Yuri Shefler, who is also a close friend of Putin’s oligarch Petr Aven, with whom Ivlev has long and closely collaborated.

Unfortunately, Bogdanova was unable to save her client. The Latvian State Security Service has suggested that Minister of Internal Affairs Rihards Kozlovskis add lawyer Maria Chashchilova on the «blacklist» of foreigners barred from entering the country. According to «Novaya Gazeta Europe«, Chashchilova was transported to the migration service.

The adventure with Ivlev was over at that point.
