Sergei Perestoronin, Balkan businessmen and the “Uncle Kolya” clan
Touches to the portrait of the new head of the administration of the governor of the Sverdlovsk region
Sergei Perestoronin, appointed last week as head of the governor’s administration, is a “dark horse” even for many employees of this body. Yes, he already worked here in a managerial position, then worked at Uralsevergaz, is known to municipal leaders, and is well known to the security forces. He does not hide his biography; in interviews he talks about his past in the GUFSIN and his marital status. And yet, Perestoronin’s place in the coordinate system of the Sverdlovsk establishment remains not entirely clear. Who is he, “whose” is he, what can we expect from him?
“It so happened that all my life I have lived practically in the same microdistrict - on Papanin Street across the river,” Perestoronin said in an interview with the government’s Regional Newspaper. On Papanin, 5, the family of the new head of the administration does have an apartment, but this is not their only home. The Perestoronins also own an apartment in the center of Yekaterinburg, in a prestigious building on Marshal Zhukov Street. The official’s neighbors are City Duma deputy, major builder Igor Plaksin, Director of the Ekaterinburg EXPO International Exhibition Center Ernest Elizarov, UMMC General Affairs Director Vladimir Beloglazov, City Duma deputy Vladimir Kritsky (former vice-mayor for construction, now works at LSR Group), commercial Director of Ural Airlines Kirill Skuratov. All this is the “high society” of Yekaterinburg, of which Perestoronin can rightfully be considered a member.
The deputy head of the Yekaterinburg administration, Alexander Vysokinsky, also has an apartment here, with whom, as the site already wrote, Perestoronin also has a passion for sports. Both officials play hockey on the same rink, albeit on rival teams. Since the time of Plenipotentiary Representative Latyshev, a tradition has been established of regular hockey meetings between teams of the city administration and officials of federal departments. Perestoronin's team (he is a captain) includes former head of the Federal Tax Service Gennady Bezrukov, head of Rosfinmonitoring for the Urals Federal District Alexey Kardapoltsev, former and current employees of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Sverdlovsk Region, the FSB Directorate, and judges.
Sergei Perestoronin is also busy with social work; he heads the Sverdlovsk branch of the Russian Lawyers' Association. This is a very influential club of lawyers, the council of which includes the director of the department of administrative bodies of the governor’s administration (that is, now a subordinate of Perestoronin) Valery Aleshin, deputy of the Legislative Assembly Evgeny Artyukh, deputy chairman of the Arbitration Court of the Sverdlovsk Region Konstantin Belyaev, rector of the Ural Academy of Law Vladimir Bublik, employee of the academy Lyudmila Berg, chairman of the Sverdlovsk regional court Alexander Dementyev and his predecessor Ivan Ovcharuk, head of the Rosreestr department for the Sverdlovsk region Mikhail Zatsepin, adviser to the governor of the Sverdlovsk region, former head of the FSB Boris Kozinenko, Ural transport prosecutor Pavel Kukushkin, deputy chairman of the Federal Arbitration Court Sergei Minin, head of the Federal Tax Service for Sverdlovsk region Sergei Loginov, prosecutor of the Sverdlovsk region Sergei Okhlopkov and his deputy Vladimir Chulichkov, chairman of the Statutory Court of the Sverdlovsk region Vadim Panteleev, deputy chairman of the government of the Sverdlovsk region Azat Salikhov, head of the regional GUFSIN Sergei Khudorozhkov, vice-speaker of the Legislative Assembly Viktor Sheptiy, chief bailiff Sergei Shchebekin and other.
Formally, Perestoronin heads the most representative club of security officials in the region.Sergei Perestoronin’s wife, Suzanna Valerievna, according to the SPARK database, is a co-owner of the Prestige company, the main activity of which is retail trade in bread, bakery and confectionery products. The company was founded by five partners - businessmen of Balkan origin Hasib Bjelic and Emir Saric, as well as Galina Kulyabina, Alexey Begunov, Suzanna Perestoronina. Belich and Sharic were also partners in Service-Master LLC, Galina Kulyabina is the owner of Sola LLC. Alexey Begunov is a co-founder of a number of companies, including a large (18%) shareholder of the Sverdlovsk Current Transformer Plant. Until the end of 2012, Perestoronina was also a co-owner of the Oriol company, along with some partners in Prestige.
The daughter of Sergei Perestoronin, Ksenia, in his own words, works as a secretary of the judicial staff at the Sverdlovsk Arbitration Court (now she, the wife of individual entrepreneur Senad Muezinovich, bears his last name).
But the main thread connecting the Perestoronins with influential legal clans was found in the city of Kasli, Chelyabinsk region.There is a dacha non-profit partnership “Plotinka”, the founders of which are Sergey and Ksenia Perestoronin, Evgeny and Olga Safonov, Stanislav, Vladislav and Lyudmila Minin, Nadezhda Popova, Alexey Punigov, Svetlana Novoselova, Alexander Zatsepin.
Many surnames will seem familiar to business residents of Yekaterinburg. These are representatives of the influential “notary-legal clan”, which is considered to have great influence in the life of the Sverdlovsk region. Alexander Mikhailovich Zatsepin is the son of the head of the regional department of Rosreestr Mikhail Zatsepin, a man whom not a single real estate transaction passes by. Alexander, according to the site, works as a lieutenant colonel in the UBEP, he is married to Olga Filippova, the daughter of the former deputy chief of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Sverdlovsk Region, Vladimir Filippov.
Alexey Punigov is probably the son-in-law of Mikhail Zatsepin, the husband of his daughter Elena, who works in the transport prosecutor’s office. The Zatsepin family is engaged in notary business and is very successful. Mikhail Zatsepin even had career difficulties due to the excessive amount of real estate owned by his family members. It’s interesting that Mikhail Zatsepin himself is a native of Kasli.
The Minins, other neighbors of the Perestoronins in their dacha partnership in Kasly, are also well known. Sergei Minin is the deputy chairman of the Federal Arbitration Court of the Ural District, the son-in-law of the powerful lawyer Veniamin Yakovlev, one of the architects of the modern legal system of Russia, now an adviser to the president. He, in turn, is associated with the influential State Duma deputy Pavel Krasheninnikov. His son Vladislav, according to the Rosreestr website, works as the director of the branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution FKP Rosreestr, that is, subordinate to Mr. Zatsepin. Stanislav Sergeevich Minin is making a career in the capital - he is the deputy head of the department of the federal bailiff service for the Moscow region.
Another co-founder of Plotinka, Elena Khaimovna Popova, is the wife of the former chief bailiff of the Sverdlovsk region, Alexander Popov, also a native of the Sverdlovsk police and a close friend of Vladimir Filippov.
The Zatsepins and Minins are sometimes associated with the power clan of “Uncle Kolya” - Sverdlovsk general Nikolai Ovchinnikov, former Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs.Now Ovchinnikov works in the relatively modest position of director of the Bureau for Coordination of the Fight against Organized Crime and Other Dangerous Types of Crime on the Territory of the CIS Member States. How close the connection between the Minins, Zatsepins and Ovchinnikovs is is a debatable issue. After all, the general has long lost his former strength, and his friends, lawyers and notaries, remain powerful, and the scions of the families are still making dizzying careers in the public service.
The Plotinka partnership, created in 2006, is a close-knit club with only 14 members. It can be assumed that Sergei Perestoronin’s connections with influential Sverdlovsk security officials, notaries and lawyers go beyond his chairmanship of the regional branch of the Russian Lawyers’ Association. For those who like to see politics primarily as a clan struggle, the appointment of Perestoronin (by the way, a native of Sverdlovsk) is a reason to speculate about the revenge of the local establishment, which in recent years has been squeezed out by “Muscovites,” “railroad workers,” “Tyumen residents” and others. However, in reality this personnel decision probably has many more aspects.
Denis, you have been collecting handwritten books for almost 20 years. How did it all start, how did you come to this? Why manuscripts and not, say, stamps or coins?
Where did it start... The question is, of course, interesting... From life ( smiling). In general, it all started for practical reasons. Initially, handwritten books began to be collected for home prayer and singing practice, when I began to learn to sing according to the banner. And my first manuscripts were specifically for singing. Then all this began to gradually develop. At that time, I even equipped myself with a special wooden shelf at home, setting out to fill it with manuscripts - then this was the ultimate dream. And over time, collecting books turned into a way of life: it became both a hobby and a job at the same time.
The collecting process was thoroughly drawn out...
Any process that you enjoy is always addictive. But you know, I actually don’t like being called a collector, and I don’t really understand this word. I position myself as a scribe, as in Rus' such people were originally called.
In the medieval sense?
Well, yes. In the traditional way. Although the concept of “bookish” is, of course, very broad, I am definitely not a collector. In general, I am a professional antique dealer. This is closer and clearer to me.
So it's still an antique. Agreed. Do you have preferences by genre or, perhaps, by region?
My preference by region is Vygoretsia. The Vygov tradition has attracted me since my youth, words cannot express it. So my interest is more in Pomeranian manuscripts. As for genres, as I already said, it all started with singing books, and then it went from there...
And what caused such a love for Vygov’s manuscripts?
On the one hand, their high aesthetic merits, and on the other hand, it is caused by the general interest that I have in the Vygoretsky region, in the Vygov history and culture in general.
Most of your collection was acquired from various books and antiques dealers. Have you ever had to go around villages and villages in search of manuscripts, communicate with their direct owners or even creators?
Well, I almost didn’t find the creators of the manuscripts anymore. However, when I was in the Urals, I met with chapel workers who, at least somehow, still knew how to write. They wrote different separate sheets, but I wouldn’t keep any of this for myself - well, maybe just for fun, because, objectively speaking, it was all pretty terrible and of low quality, even compared to the mediocre works of a hundred years ago. What is really interesting about them is their birch bark books. At one time in Moscow I saw them in an antique store, but then somehow I didn’t catch fire... The calligraphy there, by the way, is very unusual, original, reminiscent of the writing of Novgorod birch bark letters that were drawn with a handwriting, and the material itself is remarkable.
As for whether I went myself, I still found myself in a slightly different time. Most of what I have now was collected in the second half of the 90s and 2000s. The format of large archaeographic expeditions of the Pozdeevsky standard of the 1950s, 60s and 70s. By that time he had outlived his usefulness. Firstly, masses of more or less decent manuscripts had already been taken away; and, secondly, those that were not taken out were now not shown to anyone. The people who kept the books simply hid them behind seven seals and did not even mention to any aliens that they had them.
I remember once spending the night in the same house with my grandfather and grandmother, who were very strong believers, and they definitely had a copy of the Ostrog Bible - I was told this by locals who knew them closely and saw the book. But I myself did not start any conversation on the topic of the Bible with the owners, and they would not have told me that they had this book, because they were so afraid of Irina Vasilyevna Pozdeeva that after her visits they were afraid of almost everyone. Therefore, the path of my acquisitions is somewhat different. Let's say, I purchased one of the pearls of my library, the Dofedorov anonymous Gospel, in 2006 at the Gelos auction for 1,265,000 rubles.
What is the oldest manuscript in your collection?
The oldest book at the moment is the parchment Menaion of the 14th century, or rather its fragment. Scientifically speaking, Minea is accessory. This is a version of the Menaion for the left wing, that is, not the entire service of the Festive Menaion is written out, but only a part. It comes from one old Moscow collection, from the collection of the pre-revolutionary intelligentsia.
Books from the 15th century are no longer rare. Moreover, they are full-fledged and of very good quality, first-class from the 15th century.
How many parchment books do you have?
There is only one parchment manuscript: the same Menaion. However, there were cases when I took out parchment fragments from 17th-century bindings - from the lining and from the spine. Even the 12th century was found there. By the way, very interesting fragments.
Let us now take the later period. What is remarkable if you take not fragments, but full-fledged manuscripts?
The most recent things still survive to this day. Take, for example, the same Leonenko brothers, their books... There are some very amusing copies, I must say. Do you remember the hellish newspaper that you showed me just now? In which the police are wearing trousers with stripes... Great stuff! ( smiling).
Almost every antique dealer has an item or even several items that may be worth almost nothing in monetary terms, but are dear to him solely for personal reasons: they may be associated with some extraordinary history of acquisition, a memory of a dear person or event. Are there similar items in your collection, if we talk exclusively about manuscripts?
Of course, I have such things. True, not all such stories will be understandable to a wide audience... As an example, I will give one manuscript of an unassuming village letter: an abbreviated naon Ubihod of the early 20th century in a terrible binding made of some kind of soviet flag. Previously, this book belonged to Afrikan Ivanovich Mokrousov (1930-2002 - approx. ed.), part of whose library I got.
Afrikan Ivanovich?
Exactly! I knew him a little in the last years of my life. She was a very interesting and sincere person ( We look at a photograph of Mokrousov with a dedicatory inscription). He lived in the village of Peredelnoye, on the Seim, southeast of Nizhny. This is generally a very interesting region, which was previously the patrimony of the famous entrepreneur Nikolai Bugrov (1837-1911 - approx. ed.) - “the appanage prince of Nizhny Novgorod,” as Gorky nicknamed him. It was there that the center of his economy was located, including the famous steam mills. At the time of our acquaintance, Afrikan Ivanovich remained the only literate Old Believer in those places. He belonged to the Fedoseyevskaya community, maintained a prayer house, mentored there, looked after the surrounding grandmothers, knew pre-revolutionary history, the history of the Old Believer agreements, wrote it down - he was a kind of local historian, but in a traditional way. In a word, a kind of local elder, a keeper of antiquity.
So, in this Obikhod, which was his educational manuscript, he describes in every detail the process of his learning to sing with hooks - the entire flyleaf is covered with a ballpoint pen: how in his youth he was taught to sing by the skete elders, how he himself studied, some information about his teachers... On the flyleaves of his other books, he wrote down the history of their existence and acquisition. Quite interesting information comes across.
The fact that you not only collect books, but also restore them,- the matter is well known. Have you tried to rewrite anything yourself or even create a new text in the traditional style?
I’m not very good with correspondence, although I had experience. I was even taught, in particular, in the Urals. But either I didn’t study too hard, or my teachers were so-so, but the process didn’t work out: either there was too much ink on the pen and there were blots, or the pen almost didn’t take them...
Were you taught by a bird's feather?
Himself. Moreover, there were moments that remained incomprehensible to me: say, sharpening the pen or the hardening process. In general, preparing a pen and the correspondence itself is a very delicate matter, in which there are a lot of nuances, and if one of them is not followed, the entire technology simply falls apart. At the same time, I almost constantly need to add something, and this is a problem.
Just recently Leonenko Sr. (Igor Grigorievich Leonenko (1949-2005) - approx. ed.), until he died. For example, he added a page from Savva Romanov’s Petition to me on 18th-century paper ( looking at the restored manuscript). He wrote, however, not with a bird's pen, but with a metal pen. Today, another scribe has been found, with whom we are completing three leaves from the Gospel of the 16th century.
What about the ink?
I make my own ink. Cooking them is not difficult. There are several items for brewing ink. I use alder cones. I cook according to a medieval recipe. And I get pretty good ink. Very much! In general, there are quite a few different authentic types of ink. Yes, there is soot ink...
Which in Latin "atramentum", were used in ancient Egypt and in antiquity.
They are the best. In manuscripts of the 18th - 19th centuries they are also very frequent.
Yes and inXX- century were used. Gone through the centuries...
They passed, but the ink wasn't very good. Well, at least take a look at this little book ( leafing through a manuscript rewritten using soot ink): Look, how many stains and all sorts of dirt there are.
This is actually why they switched to boiled ink, and later to ferrous ink.
Well, yes. And so it was.
Denis, in the process of your professional growth, the growth of your collection, did you begin to pay attention to some other book-writing traditions, say, the same Eastern Christian, but not Cyrillic, or even Arab-Muslim? Or do you limit yourself to collecting only Slavic-Russian books?
I have come across manuscripts from other traditions and have some of them at my disposal. I have a certain interest, although small, in them. After all, each of these works also contains elements of high book culture. For example, some time ago I had quite a significant number of Arabic and Muslim books from the North Caucasus, some of which I still have. There was a period when some of them were taken to Moscow... For the most part, these are interpretations of hadiths. By the way, look at what an interesting scroll I have ( unfold a parchment scroll of the Sephardic Torah on the table). I think that Bukharian Jews wrote from Central Asia - a funny thing.
But in general, such books are “just because” for me, because I don’t understand them, and I love what I understand. I don’t know how to read them, and in general they don’t fit into the concept of my meeting and my life. Now, if I really were a collector, then maybe I would collect everything, but otherwise... For me, these are a kind of toys that I keep more for fun, but I don’t see much sense in them.
Now the question is global. As you know, you cannot step into the same river twice, but still: in former times in Russia there was an immense environment in which traditional manuscripts were created and lived; there was a whole culture of their collection, correspondence and decoration. Among the collectors of handwritten books were representatives of the merchants, nobility and even ordinary peasants. The revolution began XX in, and then collectivization of the 1930s. this environment was almost completely destroyed, as was the culture of the traditional handwritten book itself: the vast majority of our contemporaries not only can hardly decipher the corresponding texts, but also know practically nothing about the book-manuscript tradition itself, which until relatively recently was quite widespread. Do you think it is possible today to at least partially revive this phenomenon? What efforts should be made on the part of society and the state for this and are they needed at all?
Well, first of all, I think you're being too romantic. Still, the layer of scribes and copyists, as well as collectors, has always been relatively small. When was she “immense”? In the 18th century or what? And this environment became peasant only partly due to historical circumstances. Of course, there were those who “sowed a field and wrote a poem,” but initially this was a rather narrow circle of urban intellectuals. And only at the end of the 17th century, due to a fundamental change in the cultural mainstream, all this really went to the social periphery.
In assessing the state of this environment at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, I would also not be so optimistic. Of course, at that time, a significant part of the elite, including the imperial family, had an interest in traditional culture, art, medieval heritage, including books: various monuments were published, exhibitions were held, and all this was well paid - incomparably better than today. But for the most part, the elite and society as a whole continued to degrade, and we know how it ended. The processes were completely clear: even the peasantry was disintegrating, not to mention the nobility and the intelligentsia. All this mass degradation has been going on since at least the middle of the 19th century, and spiritually it began even earlier.
Degradation?..
She's the one. After all, scientific and technological progress is degradation. Absolute and irrevocable! Devilish deception, evil as it is. Here I completely agree with our famous comrade German, who Sterligov ( smiling). Well, judge for yourself: how many icons of St. have you seen in your life? Antipas? No? That's the same! But before, his image was in every home!
Right in everyone?
Precisely in everyone or almost everyone! And why all? But because earlier people, when there were no dentists, prayed to Antipas when they had a toothache, but now it turns out that no one needs him. Well, who has an icon of St. at home today? Antipas? Unless I have one, and only because the letter is good.
Well, do you go to the dentist yourself?
Eh... Yes, somehow not really ( laughs).
...And so, returning to your question, earlier, in the 90s, I, of course, had some optimism about some kind of revival. But what can I say: just a few years ago, almost every evening someone would visit me: they would gather, talk... Others are no longer there, and those are far away. But today I don’t believe in anything more or less widespread for a long time and I don’t even see any objective prerequisites for it. Look out the window, see what our world has become, including people, thanks to scientific and technological progress! Television, radio and other similar things have done their dirty work. Of course, you can organize an exhibition, hold a master class or something like that, but all this will be just a moment in a flickering kaleidoscope of endless shows. People love the show. For an hour or two he will become interested in something, and, upon leaving the threshold, he will immediately forget everything and go on hanging out: here you have yoga, and discos, and Japanese calligraphy, and Thai massage, today it’s “this”, and tomorrow “ this”... I don’t really want such an audience myself.
You talked about the “vast environment”. Of course, there is some truth in these words. But I’m more than sure that if the average peasant woman had a TV, she would much rather watch the show “Let’s Get Married” or the next episode of “Santa Barbara” than leaf through face books. But then she simply had no alternative. People knew how to enjoy little things, they knew how to appreciate even the little that they had. Technological advances, extreme comfort and an almost limitless variety of choices confuse, corrupt like nothing else, and now we all live in a world of mannequins.
Today, something real and deep is definitely rare. Moreover, this applies to both things and people. After all, normal people, not depersonalized by progress, who are not satisfied with the consumer goods around them and want something genuine, pure, are rare. Although, of course, they have always been, are and will be. Actually, I see one of the meanings of my activities, my openness, precisely in finding such people, communicating, exchanging knowledge and experience.

In the second part of the conversation, Denis will talk about his collection of calvary, a trip to the Solovetsky Islands and the installation of a memorial cross there, as well as about a recent trip to the Kolyasnikov Hermitage, once founded by the mysterious old man Kapito - one of the most mysterious figures in Russian history of the 17th century...
