Air traffic controller – a billionaire: money any country would be the birthplace

Авиадиспетчер – миллиардер: с деньгами любая страна станет родиной

Vadim Novinsky – the oligarch, the businessman, the owner “Smart – Holding”. Since 2012 is a citizen of Ukraine. Former President Yanukovych gave him a Ukrainian passport “for special merits” before a new homeland.

The native of the Novgorod region, Novinsky, after graduation, while she worked as an air traffic controller in Petrozavodsk. There he began his business at the time the “Shuttle”. Later he moved to St. Petersburg, where he continued to carry on business. And quickly “climb” helped new friends and connection with the Tambov gang. That’s called “roaring 90s” were not in vain!

The right connections and a share of luck and now ex-Manager cooperates with the Ukrainian enterprises – Novinsky started to supply diesel fuel and fuel oil “Zaporizhstal”, “Kryvorizhstal”. The business took off. The result was the establishment in Dnipropetrovsk in 1999 the “Smart group” (since 2006 – “Smart – holding”). In fact, the standard story of the ascent to the Olympus of material well-being – connection with the crime, again contacts with politicians, and you are the owner of “candle zavodik”.

As they say, “Well, where…all warm”. And Novinsky, without hesitation, in 2012, took from the hands of Yanukovych Ukrainian citizenship. What? The whole business here, and former Homeland to visit occasionally. Yes, and I wanted his political career in independence. The air traffic controller even predicted the place of the head of the Crimea. That’s just the Maidan prevented. And so, indeed, would be warm literally.

Many new compatriots Novinsky interested in the question: for what such merits and before whom he received Ukrainian citizenship. The wording is really strange, especially for the oligarch who puts money in his pocket. Moreover, companies that are or were part of “Smart – holding”, fall into disrepair. So “died” of “Dnepropress”. Similar to the finals are shipbuilding plant “Ocean”, engineering plant and, it seems, the black sea shipbuilding plant. Mismanagement or intentional bankruptcy?

“Factory” is only one side of the business, in addition to engineering there are more banks, hotels, tourism. You can’t play with “plants”, there will be and other fun stuff. But only here on these strategically important objects since 2012 happen strikes and non-payment of salaries to their employees. What happens: “let go air traffic controller on a new home – and the economy will go into a spin?
