Pavel Astakhov is a person known inRussian public and political circles. One of the prominent lawyers, a politician who in the past was the commissioner for children's rights under the Russian president, he became famous far beyond his professional community. The personal life of the famous lawyer and politician has long been criticized by the media, both Russian and European, as he often found himself at the very center of quite high-profile scandals.

In particular, the press often appearedreports that the elder sons of Pavel Alekseevich, Anton Astakhov and his brother Artem, who held positions in the government apparatus of their father, regularly rolled up luxurious parties in Nice. There are also other resonant scandals in which the name of the lawyer and his children appears.

So, in 2012, the media reported that AntonAstakhov, the son of Pavel Astakhov, almost found himself behind bars in connection with an accident in the center of the capital. The case received wide publicity. Being in a medium state, as indicated in the protocol, alcohol intoxication, Anton Astakhov ran into his BMW with a passing car.

In September 2016, by presidential decree PavelAstakhov was released from office. The president's decision was largely influenced by the participation of the politician and his children in high-profile scandals widely publicized in the media. After the dismissal, the lawyer and his family settled in Pskov. His eldest son, Anton Astakhov, continues to be the focus of journalists' attention. It is known that in matters of career, like many others, a young businessman largely relies on the support of a wealthy father.

Anton Astakhov: what caused the interest of the media

In August last year, journalists from several publicationsinterested in the fact that the introduction of a graduate of Oxford and the son of a former child defender in the boards of directors of certain banks is bound to lead to their subsequent bankruptcy. They traced the pattern: the trouble is overtaken by those credit organizations, in the management of which appears Anton Astakhov. The bank, which is the fourth in terms of capital in Bashkiria, the RDB (abbreviated name of the Regional Development Bank), at the end of last year, rested insanely, that is, it was declared bankrupt. Many investors were injured, bank plans on many projects collapsed. Among the survivors were only those who foresaw the outcome ahead of time and managed to leave the sinking ship. One of these lucky ones was Anton Pavlovich Astakhov, who left the RRB in October 2015. It became known about the involvement of the son of the former ombudsman and other bankruptcies.

History of the Bank

The RDB was established in 1993.Known by former names as the Bashkir Railway Bank and Orlan Bank. The organization was quite a significant player both in the regional financial market and outside it. Credit and financial services were provided by the bank to many national construction and industrial companies, retail and pharmacy chains, utilities, food manufacturers, etc.

It is no secret that the bank sometimes had difficulties. For example, the RBR financed the ruined shareholders of the Ufa microdistrict Solnechny. Naturally, the shareholders of the bank were looking for investors who could in this situation be the savior of the institution. So the son of Pavel Astakhov, Anton, got into the line-up. But, according to the bitter remark of one of the local newspapers, the bank ended up not waiting for the investor, but for the liquidator.

Ambitions

In 2014, the Internet was distributedinterview with a young banker Anton Astakhov, in which he told about his desire to participate in serious banking activities. Together with companions, who, however, were not named, he studied a huge number of banks. The preference was given to the Regional Development Bank, which at that time, so to say, was in front of our eyes.

On his participation in the management of the structure of the youngthe banker put it quite pathetically: he compared the bank with a horse, who had been fed wrong before, and instead of being able to take part in competitions, was forced to carry a cart. Anton Astakhov, whose biography testifies to the quality education he received at prestigious educational institutions abroad, took the horse to the right to feed the horse (bank), give it free rein, and said that with his participation in the management the bank would overtake everyone.

One stern document

In July 2015, an order was sent to RBDNational Bank of Bashkortostan, which regulates banking activities in the region. With this letter, the bank pledged to release Anton Pavlovich Astakhov from his duties as a member of the RDB board of directors within 60 days. The basis was the discrepancy of this person to the requirements of the law of the Russian Federation. The prescription was drawn up 5 months before the bankruptcy of the RBR. It was signed by Zakirov R. Z., and. about. Governor of the National Bank of Bashkortostan. This harsh paper opens the veil about the involvement of Anton Astakhov to another bankruptcy.

The end of Sberkreditbank

A second organization whose temporary satelliteAstakhov Anton Pavlovich, Savings Bank and Credit Bank (Sberkreditbank), which in 2014 lost its license from the Central Bank and was declared an insolvent arbitration court, became on the inglorious path to bankruptcy. According to the Rosinvest Internet resource, Anton Astakhov was a member of the new directors of the institution.

Bankruptcy UBPI

The third in a row bank "pier" AntonAstakhova became UBPI (abbreviated name of the United Bank of Industrial Investments), which in July 2015 also had its license revoked. It is noteworthy that shortly before this, at an extraordinary general meeting held in Moscow, the shareholders prematurely terminated the powers of Anton Astakhov, who was a member of the board of directors, and a number of other persons who brought the bank to handle. For the adoption of this decision, the meeting participants voted unanimously.

According to media reports, the license from the Bank UBII wasselected because of the implementation of a number of questionable operations, as well as the conduct of its administration, which included Anton Astakhov, risky credit policy.

Failure or “bank killer”

One “failure”, according to analysts, is still possiblebe considered an accident. Two such cases are already forced to guard. Three "ditched" banks are already compelling to ponder the question, who is the younger Astakhov - an ordinary loser or a professional bank killer specializing in "finishing off" problem banks?

Banking "Wunderkind"

Astakhov Anton Pavlovich, whose biographyIt tells about the meaningful years he spent in prestigious educational institutions of the USA and England, had far-reaching plans. As a graduate of Oxford College and an economics school in New York, a young and gifted banking specialist told reporters that his interests included big finances. According to him, he started trading at the age of eighteen. In the States, where he studied at the university, the young man was friends exclusively with brokers and traders.

Anton Astakhov, son of Pavel Astakhov: biography

In the July 2016 television interview of Pavel AstakhovHe said that after a conversation with Putin, which took place the day before, in which, he said, he had received a scolding from the president, the children's ombudsman had submitted his resignation. As noted in the press, along with numerous scandals on the president’s decision to dismiss the ombudsman, a famous opponent of the adoption of orphans and otkazniks by foreign parents, was also due to the fact that his children received education abroad.

Pavel Alekseevich's wife, Svetlana, wasgeneral producer of his television programs. The Astakhov spouses have three children: the eldest, Anton (born in 1988), middle, Artyom (born in 1993) and younger, Arsen (born in 2009). The two older sons of the former ombudsman were educated abroad and worked for some time in the office of their father. The youngest, according to the New York Times, was born in Nice, in one of the most prestigious hospitals. It is known that here took the last birth of Angelina Jolie. They baptized a baby in Cannes, in the equally prestigious church of the Archangel Michael.

In January 2013, information appeared in the media thatthe human rights organization sent an appeal to Francois Hollande, President of France, with a request to ban Pavel Astakhov from entering the country where he had been very often. This was due to the lawyer’s support of a total ban on adoption of Russian orphans by American citizens.

His eldest son Anton graduated from an American school,then he decided to study economics at Oxford and London. After some time, he went back to America, after which he returned to Moscow, where he began working in the stock market. In one of the interviews, Astakhov Jr. told reporters that he was helping his father in his work. But he is not going to become a lawyer, unless he will ever have to defend himself in court.

At home, Anton Astakhov demonstratedremarkable talent of a businessman. As it became known, doing the banal Internet browsing at one time, he put the case on a commercial basis by organizing a structure that monitors the network for content that is prohibited by law. Perseverance and the presence of connections helped a promising businessman push aside all competitors in the specific market of the "pedophile" business. It is not known what influenced his decision to go into the banking business. But the stars again agreed for him so successfully, and the young banker began working in the institution serving his father’s office, having received in the middle of 2014 an 8.5% stake in RBR.

On the scandalous return home

I must say that in the field of view of the press sonthe famous children's ombudsman turned out to be after the scandal that happened back in 2012. The accident, in which Anton Astakhov became famous, was a car accident triple in a drunken state when a young businessman drove his BMW into a passing Toyota at one of the capital’s streets. Staggering, according to inspectors, the culprit of the accident did not want to undergo a medical examination.

As it became known to the public, the famous fatherdid not leave in trouble a son who at the time was listed in his office. The World Court passed the hearings on the case against Astakhov's son three times. One of the reasons was allegedly hospitalization, as evidenced by the fax of a certain medical company. As it became known to journalists, this company specialized in ... abortion. As a result, Astakhov Jr. was deprived of his driving license for six months.

The birth of a specialist

Having considerable weight in many power structures,Pavel Astakhov, a former children's advocate, made every effort to attach his son closer to budget money. But the heir himself was not asleep, the famous surname helped to seamlessly infiltrate the Russian banking sector. As we already know, in February 2015, the son of a former children's ombudsman showed up at the RBR. In all likelihood, this was the birth of a new specialist in entering the management of banks that are in a difficult or pre-bankrupt state (examples are given in the article above).

To write about the fall of the banks is pretty sad. Behind this is always someone's irrecoverable loss. It is especially sad to find out that people are losing money from a bank bankruptcy, collecting money by the coppers over a lifetime.

It is known that Astakhov Jr. does not intendstop. He has in mind other banks that are still functioning. It is possible that, having filled the knack, a talented young specialist will make a great career.
