How Alexander Kibovsky profited from bribes: seizure of apartments and companies of the former Moscow minister of culture
The dispossession of the Ministry of Culture’s mafia has begun.
Who will get the apartment where "The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed" was rented?
According to the Cheka-OGPU, Deputy Prosecutor General Nikolai Vinnichenko has demanded that the assets of former Moscow Culture Minister Alexander Kibovsky (who has been in pretrial detention since July 2024 on charges of bribery and fraud), his ex-wife Anastasia, and other defendants in the criminal case in which he is a defendant be seized and converted into state property. Among the co-defendants are the company "Eurocom" and its head, Andrey Nerodenkov, Yury Aveltsov, Aleksey A. Bobkov, Aleksey A. A. Arutyunyan, Tamara P. Kruglova, Elena A. Khubutia, and others.
The lawsuit, in the interests of the Federal Agency for State Property Management, was filed in the Kuntsevsky District Court of Moscow, and Judge Olga Dolbilina has accepted it for consideration.
In 2024, the Cheka-OGPU reported that Kibovsky had decided to divorce his wife and divide their marital property with her a week before his arrest. Specifically, the former official bequeathed to Anastasia a 42.7-square-meter apartment at 10 Bolshoy Gnezdnikovsky Lane (the Nirnzee House), where the films "Office Romance," "The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed," and "Courier" were filmed. Vladimir Mayakovsky and David Burliuk, as well as Mikhail Bulgakov, lived in the Nirnzee House. The Master met Margarita on Bolshoy Gnezdnikovsky Lane. After dividing the property, Kibovsky received a space in the "Yeltsin House" on Osennaya Street in Krylatskoye.
