Rotenberg Natalya Sergeevna. The success story of the king of state orders Arkady Rotenberg But you are still married

The ex-wife of Arkady Rotenberg, Natalya, filed a lawsuit in London in order to receive compensation from the billionaire, RBC reports. The case will be considered in February 2016, the businessman's lawyer confirmed.

Arkady and Natalya Rotenberg divorced in 2013. The marriage was annulled by the decision of the magistrate of the judicial district N160 of the Tushinsky district of Moscow. Natalya unsuccessfully tried to appeal this decision, and after that filed a lawsuit to invalidate the marriage contract. If her claim was satisfied, then the joint property acquired in marriage since 2005 could be divided in half.

Now she lives in the UK with two common children, and until the dispute between the former spouses is fully resolved, Rotenberg must pay interim alimony for the maintenance of her and the children. However, due to the sanctions imposed on Rotenberg by the European Union, the payment of alimony was difficult. Any money transfer from a sanctioned person must be frozen as soon as the money reaches the UK account.

This conflict is what the British court is trying to resolve. At the same time, Rotenberg's name is not officially named in court - he appears in the documents as "Russian citizen R." At the same time, it is known that the anonymous Russian is challenging the sanctions in the General Court of the European Union, and he divorced his wife in 2013 in Russia. As RBC recalls, Arkady Rotenberg is the only Russian citizen seeking the lifting of sanctions. The rest of the lawsuits were filed by companies. In addition, "citizen R." defended by the same lawyers that represent the interests of Rotenberg in a lawsuit to lift the sanctions.

Arkady Rotenberg divorced his second wife in the Tushinsky District Court. At the end of April 2013. The decision to divorce was joint. Natalya appealed this decision to the Tushinsky court, but he left the decision of the previous instance unchanged, and on August 2 it entered into force.

Later, Rotenberg's ex-wife filed a lawsuit to invalidate the marriage contract. If her claim were satisfied, then the joint property acquired in marriage could be divided in half. Considering that, according to Forbes, Rotenberg's capital is about 3.3 billion dollars, half of his property would be a very substantial amount.

Earlier, lawyer Philip Ryabchenko stated that the marriage contract of the Rotenbergs could hardly be invalidated, since it meets the requirements of the law and is concluded in a notarial form. For her part, the lawyer of Rotenberg's ex-wife, Kira Voronkova, said that the marriage contract does not meet the requirements of family law and deprives her client of 50% of the property jointly acquired with the ex-husband. The ex-spouses have two children, Voronkova recalled.

Billionaire Arkady Rotenberg, who is still in adolescence was a sparring partner of Vladimir Putin in judo, is a co-owner of Gazprom's contractors - SETP and Stroygazmontazh (51%), infrastructure giant Mostotrest (26.4%), Rossosh Mineral Fertilizers (79.4%) and SMP Bank (37.3%). According to Forbes, Rotenberg's fortune is $ 3.3 billion, he ranks 31st in the list of the richest businessmen in Russia.

Looking at Arkady Romanovich, I got the impression that he was not greedy, and that the woman had immoderate appetites. In short, greed will destroy her. In any case, he did the business, all of it, his talent, his luck, his abilities, his aunt had nothing to do with it, anyone can cook, wash, caress, yes, children, heirs, but one is already 16 (soon to go to the army already), the other is not a baby either. It was necessary to agree somehow, but not like that, stupidly, half of the business is mine. It won't. You can sit even in England, even in Israel. Life will pass in the courts is senseless and stupid. And if in short, when you submit, you don’t resist, then you get more from a man, and if you climb ahead, you won’t get anything. "Whoever gives up, gains."

Asks the highest authority of British justice - Supreme Court United Kingdom, to allow him to challenge the decision of the Court of Appeal of 25 July 2017, which ordered that details of his financial arrangements with his ex-wife - Natalya Rotenberg be made public. This was told by a source close to one of the parties to the process. The representative of the British Supreme Court Sophia Linehan-Biggs confirmed the information. It will take three to six months to decide on the case, she said.

The High Court of London ruled in July 2016 in the R v R case, but its details were classified. In the public documents of the process, the names of the participants were not named. The fact that Arkady and Natalya Rotenberg are hiding behind the letters R was written in 2015 by RBC. Rotenberg's Russian lawyer Filipp Ryabchenko confirmed to the publication that former spouses litigation in London. According to him, the matter in the case was not about the division of assets, but about the payment of compensation to Natalya.

“He didn’t claim anything, he gave everything that we had amassed during my period. I treat my husband very well and always put him on a pedestal. God bless him!” Rotenberg told The Bell.

The judge in this case was Philip Moore, who presided over R v R. According to the publication, Moore allowed to disclose the materials of the process, but one of them, a man, did not agree with this decision. Moore sent the participant's request for confidentiality to the Court of Appeal, and classified the materials until a verdict was issued.

The Court of Appeal in July allowed the details of the R v R process to be released, according to the decision, published in the court database on October 17, 2017. It is this decision that Rotenberg is now challenging in the Supreme Court of Great Britain.

In 2017 Forbes appreciated Arkady Rotenberg's fortune is $2.6 billion. He owns one of the largest contractors receiving government orders - Stroygazmontazh. Rotenberg also owns shares in Minudobreniya and SMP Bank. The businessman is called a friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom they once practiced judo together. In 2014 EU and US made Rotenberg on the sanctions lists, citing his closeness to Putin as one of the reasons. According to the agency "Ruspres", in Russia, only one company is registered for Natalya Rotenberg - Cultural and Leisure Center Pokrov LLC. In fact, this is a "family" Kindergarten, located in one of the apartments in an elite residential complex on Beregovaya Street in Moscow.

Ryabchenko refused to discuss Rotenberg's appeal to the British Supreme Court with journalists, citing the closed nature of the case. Russian lawyer Natalia Rotenberg - "Kira Voronkova" also declined to comment.

Natalya Rotenberg now lives in London. Her LinkedIn page states that she is the founder and owner of NR Group, an interior design and real estate company. The company's website emphasizes that Natalia has "experience and connections" in real estate transactions around the world. In addition, Natalia Rotenberg has been the Russian ambassador for the Clive Christian perfume brand since September 2016. In 2015, the ex-wife of Arkady Rotenberg created in the UK charitable foundation NR Foundation, which, according to its website, is dedicated to helping talented children.

In the July verdict in R v R secrecy, the judges of the Court of Appeal criticized Plaintiff R's argument, full name which is again not named, calling it “unsatisfactory” in places, noting that his lawyers did not discuss in detail in the first instance their arguments in favor of classifying the case materials, having done this only in the Court of Appeal.

The plaintiff's representatives argued that disclosure of the details of the case could pose a threat to their client. In addition, the disclosure of materials may violate the right of minors to inviolability privacy follows from the verdict of the Court of Appeal. The court then disagreed with these arguments, while warning Times Newspapers that delicacy must be observed when covering the details of the trial.

Business

In the early 90s, during the collapse of the USSR, Arkady Rotenberg went into business, which was associated with the organization of martial arts competitions. In addition, the judoka co-founded a number of firms that brought in enough income to create a large-scale business.

Along with commerce, Rotenberg helped Putin, who by that time already served as head of the FAC in the St. Petersburg mayor's office, practice judo - Arkady continued training with the future Russian leader as a sparring partner. Thanks to this, the Yavara-Neva judo sports club appeared in the cultural capital of Russia, founded by Rotenberg on the idea of ​​Putin. Today, this club, whose honorary president is the President of Russia, is considered the most titled sports club in the country, having won the European Championships six times.

In the early 2000s, the business of Arkady Rotenberg began to develop rapidly and on a large scale. At that time, the future oligarch was part of the leadership of the leading Russian companies and banks Northern Sea Route, Talion, Rostelecom, Investcapital and Pipe Metal Roll. commercial activity the businessman carried out together with his younger brother, who by that time had also built a professional sports career in Finland in the same direction of martial arts as his brother.

By the mid-2000s, the Rotenberg brothers directed their business to the gas sector and engaged in development at the all-Russian level. To do this, five construction companies were bought out from the Gazprom corporation, which by 2008 were merged into the Stroygazmontazh company. At the same time, Arkady Vladimirovich became a monopolist in the supply of pipe products to the Russian market and began to expand his business towards the development of gas infrastructure. The total annual turnover of Volgogradneftemash and four construction companies Arkady Rotenberg (Lengazspetsstroy, Spetsgazremstroy, Krasnodargazstroy and Volgogaz) reached 43.5 billion rubles.

A year later, Rotenberg began construction of a gas pipeline to Black Sea coast. The pipe was laid through three settlements- Dzhubga, Lazarevskoye and Sochi. The contract was signed without a competition. During the same year, the wards of Arkady Rotenberg began the construction of a gas pipeline on the Sakhalin - Khabarovsk - Vladivostok branch.

Rotenberg also owns the insurance company SMP Insurance. Together with his brother Boris, Arkady becomes the main shareholder of the Northern European Pipe Project (76%).

In 2010, the assets of Arkady Rotenberg were replenished with shares of road companies that received serious state orders for the construction of the Moscow-St. Petersburg toll road. The route passed through the Khimki forest, despite public protests about the inadmissibility of disturbing the ecological balance in the area due to deforestation.

The entrepreneur also participated in the construction of roads related to the preparation of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.

At the beginning of 2010, the gas-pipe magnate took up a priority area for himself in the field of oil and gas construction. The entrepreneur also expanded his assets in the companies of the largest Russian manufacturers, which included ten alcohol industry enterprises belonging to Rosspirtprom OJSC.

In 2015, the Rotenberg holding "Stroygazmontazh" received a general contract for the construction of Kerch bridge through the strait, which became the largest project of the Russian Federation for last years. The cost of the project amounted to 230 billion rubles.

Arkady Rotenberg defended his doctoral dissertation in the field of pedagogy.

A year later, Rotenberg became the owner of a controlling stake in the Red Square television group.

Personal life

The personal life of Arkady Rotenberg is not as successful as his business. It is known that the entrepreneur was married twice, but family life she did not become happy in any marriage, as families fell apart, despite the presence of children.

From the first wife of Galina, the oligarch had three children - sons Igor and Pavel and daughter Lilia, who gave their father three grandchildren. Rotenberg's son Igor, like his father, is engaged in business, being the owner and co-owner of road construction, gas and energy companies. And Pavel has mastered the profession of a hockey player and is already playing for the Russian youth hockey team.

In the second marriage with Natalia Rotenberg, the billionaire had two more children - Varvara and Arkady. In 2013, after 8 years of marriage, the couple divorced. The second Rotenberg family settled in the UK. Natalya Rotenberg continues to do charity work in the field of supporting children's sports and choreographic schools, holding tournaments and competitions. The headquarters of the organization is in London, but this does not prevent Natalia from providing all possible assistance to her compatriots.

Thanks to the NR Foundation, in 2017 choreography classes were restored at the Kurgan School of Arts. Such attention of the ex-wife of the oligarch to the needs of the provincial town is explained by the fact that in 1995 Natalya herself graduated from the choreographic department of the Kurgan school.

In 2014, due to the situation in Ukraine, the billionaire fell under anti-Russian sanctions, so monetary assets in the EU were frozen. Rotenberg lost the opportunity to pay alimony to younger children, who remained only in the care of their mother. Against the backdrop of the current situation, Natalya nominated her to her ex-husband.

In 2016, Arkady became the founder of National Gas Group LLC together with Artem Obolensky. In 2017, on behalf of his own companies, he acquired shares in the Park of Legends sports and entertainment quarter.

Now, with the light hand of the Western media and who regularly posts photos of the real estate of the oligarchs on the Internet, Arkady and Boris Rotenberg are called "kings of the state order", as the brothers get top applications on behalf of the state. The clan of Putin's friends in 2016 entered the top three wealthiest families in Russia. This number also included the Shamalov and Gutseriev families. The Rotenberg clan, which, in addition to the brothers, also includes their eldest sons, Igor and Roman, owns a fortune of $ 2.8 billion.

July 31, 2015

The mother of Roman and Boris Rotenberg and little Niko Armas, who is now 13 years old, Lamber Irene Walburga believes that children should not be brought up “in sugar”. She is also against marriages with stamps in passports.

- Irina Mikhailovna, your eldest sons have come to success. How to properly raise children?

I want to say right away that children born in a love marriage achieve a lot in life.

We tried to educate children in respect for their roots and the traditions of Russian culture, paying much attention to the education of children, their sports and aesthetic education. I know one thing, that "in sugar" children cannot be brought up. The child must also be educated by a society that gives direction and development.

With all my love for the middle son Boris and the younger Niko, Roman is the eldest in our family, which means that he must be prepared for life in such a way as to give advice based on his experience.

Roman Rotenberg fell under US sanctions, as the family found out, read on

- Why did you go to Finland?

We moved to Finland in 1991 under the Ingrian repatriation program, actively promoted by President Mauno Koivisto (Mauno Henrik Kaivisto, the ninth President of Finland from 1982 to 1994. About 30 thousand people moved to Finland in 20 years under the repatriation program, mainly from Russia and Estonia. Canceled in 2011 by Tarja Halonen. - Red.). I have Finnish roots, and I would like to emphasize that we did not emigrate, but moved to live in Finland, just like many other families who wanted their children to gain knowledge of European culture. Indeed, the experience gained in Finland was very useful to us in the future.

- Weren't there schools in St. Petersburg, including sports ones?

Roman at the age of 11 really wanted to play hockey, but in St. Petersburg there was only one ice rink in Yubileiny. When we moved to Finland, Roman called the hockey teams in Helsinki, but he was not taken anywhere, because in Finland it is believed that by the age of 11 a child should be able to play hockey and already be part of a hockey team. But nothing is impossible, there would be a desire: Roman got into the youth hockey team (In an interview with the Finnish edition of Helsingin Sanomat, Roman Rotenberg said: “They called different clubs, including the Jokers club, but no one wanted to take me anywhere. Then at the Länsimäen Kiekko club in Vantaa they told me to come try it.” After 21 year Roman bought the Finnish Jokerit. - Red.).

- Your sons in interviews always emphasize that they returned to Russia, because "the family decided so."

I do not read all the interviews of my children, they are adults and have the right to express their opinion. And I don't even need to know everything. I take your word for it. If they say that about the family - it pleases me. I am pleased to hear that. But the decision to return to Russia was made by Roman and Boris on their own.

What is family opinion? Wisdom and experience accumulated by previous generations.

As for my upbringing of children, the basis of it is that children respect their father with early age. But decisions in the family should be made by the mother. Parental advice always seems to children as pressure on them. I believe that the advice of parents to children is very important to consider, but the freedom of choice should always remain with them. I am glad that my children are always attentive to my opinion on this or that issue. In our family, it is customary for children to know and observe family traditions. The main requirement for children has always been and remains the condition of a careful attitude to study and work.

- And your children also emphasize that they are Russians.

Our family is multinational. Boris is from an intelligent Jewish family from St. Petersburg.

There are many bloodlines in my family: my great-grandfather is French, my great-grandmother is German, there are also Finnish roots in another branch. My mother is Ukrainian. As for family relations, they have always been politically free, not burdened with national hostility. We have always united all cultures in the family. But, of course, we are Russians, because we were born on Russian soil.

My family moved 350 years ago from France, the city of Marseille, to Sweden, and then to Russia. My grandmother's surname is LAMBER.

My dad, just like Boris's dad, are true patriots of Russia, and they brought us up in the spirit of love for the Fatherland. The fact that today my children love Russia does not surprise me, we brought them up that way.

I have different citizenships, my place of residence changes, but I am Russian. Sometimes it is not easy, but the Russian spirit is in me, and it helps me in the most difficult life situations.

The conversation on Skype is interrupted, Irina Mikhailovna promises to call back on Viber. “It's free, you need to save money,” she is convinced. “I am now in the mountains of the Southern Alps of France.”

- And the youngest son from a Finnish marriage. He is Russian?

His name is Niko, he likes to be called Nikolay. Despite the fact that he has never lived in Russia, but when we arrive in St. Petersburg and get into a taxi, Niko asks: “Mom, when are we coming home?” These words make me very happy, because we are really going home.

- The second time you married a Finn ...

Yes, I consciously married a second time.

I would like to draw the attention of young girls to the fact that marriage between people of different cultures is short-lived due to fundamental differences.

- What are the differences?

Foreigners - no matter who it is: French, British, Finns, Spaniards, Italians or others - always make decisions on their own, regardless of the opinions of others. Their mentality does not provide for communication between people. They are like machines running in the middle. They do everything accurately and accurately. In matters of production, this is a very important quality that helps society achieve high results in the development of European technologies. The language of communication is English.

But when mixed families do not have a common native language and have children, this affects them very badly, since cultures and traditions are different. A child from infancy is faced with a choice, but in order to make right choice He's still too small. It was very difficult for me to bring up my youngest son Niko in Russian traditions.

- But are you still married?

I am on good terms with my Finnish husband.

- Irina, you have been the head of the Anirina Oy concern for many years. What is the type of activity of your company?

The scope of the company's activities is related to the technologies of production, storage, processing of agricultural products and is based on the experience of the Scandinavian countries.

I also have a project of my passion - the study of the lifestyle of women in the 19th century.

There are plans to create a production women's clothing for modern women in the fashion tradition of the 19th century. My experience and my education allow me to transform my hobbies into a business. But success is not achieved immediately.

- Are you already a grandmother, are you a Russian grandmother or a Finnish grandmother? Do you spend school holidays with your grandchildren?

My grandmother had a strong influence on my upbringing. I didn't go to kindergarten. My grandmother never spoiled me, but she always loved me very much. My attitude towards grandchildren is the same as my grandmother's, and it is based on my memories.

My grandmother's father is French, and her mother is German. I don’t know what kind of grandmother should be: Finnish, Russian or French. It's not about that. I firmly believe that only parents should raise children, and I am categorically against it when grandmothers interfere. There is a competition between the love of grandmother, the love of father and mother. A grandmother should just love her grandchildren.

- Children and grandchildren connect you with your ex-husband. If I may ask, what is your relationship with your ex-husband?

Life is not a book from which a page can be torn out. In youth, we love someone, we are friends with someone, and this remains for life.

My marriage to Boris was based on the feelings of first love. At the age of 17, we were both incredibly beautiful, smart, intelligent ... and this marriage took place, and he was happy. Years have passed, a lot has changed, but I still have a good relationship with Boris, with his brother Arkady, with Arkady's children from his first marriage with his wife Galina - Igor and Lilia, and - his children from subsequent marriages. (Igor Arkadyevich Rotenberg - Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gazprom Burenie LLC and the owner of many gas and energy companies. - Red.)

First, you need to calm down and understand why divorce is inevitable.

We, young girls and not so young girls, must understand that peace, joy, reason and spirituality should reign in the family. We need to work on this. We all have the same problem, we are not working in this direction, we are overwhelmed by vanity and turmoil, we have no time to stop and think. Therefore, we think that the only way to solve problems is through divorce. But it's not. The real problems appear just after the divorce. If you want to improve your life - understand yourself, and then you will definitely be happy! But I will tell you a secret that our happiness does not depend on where we live and with whom we live.

We will talk about how to be happy next time.

Some consider the so-called "protection" of stalls to be the beginning of his business career, which, given his sports experience in martial arts, looks quite plausible. The names of the leaders of various organized crime groups, with whom our hero allegedly made acquaintance, are called. Let it be so, those who lived and survived in it will remember that time, and those who are too young - reconsider the film "Brother", a lot will become clear for you.

Apparently, Rotenberg had something similar (but could it have been different then?).
