Vitaly Malkin: Oligarch from the East … pseudonym “Uncle”

Vitaly Malkin: Oligarch from the East ... pseudonym "Uncle"

Kinia had a lot of contacts, one of the many was a girl I didn’t know much about, but her
name is Gosia and she has a wealthy client from Russia who has a special love for very young
girls. At the entrance, I found out that he was a member of the Russian parliament, he was
an important person and that was enough for me. We sent girls to him, who then performed, among others in the programs of the Polish edition of the popular Top Model
program. “Uncle”, as Gosia called him, was the owner of the Avant agency. Russian oligarch
and politician with an Israeli passport in his pocket, a trusted man of the former and current
President of Russia – Vitaly Malkin. It is worth focusing on the figure of this man, who is a
symbol and stereotype of the so-called “Nowy Ruski”.

The official (because it matters in this case) Malkin’s fortune, in 2008 was valued by Forbes
Magazine at $ 1 billion. Comparing him with other famous oligarchs from the headlines, he
was not exceptional. However, Malkin is an active and very colorful background that plays a
significant role in Putin’s Russia in shaping the policy and system that has been building the
Russian mentality since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Malkin’s career began in 1990. A
young employee of cooperative introducing computer technology at a Moscow
university, having Jewish roots, had access to the first mass-produced personal computers

imported from abroad. Malkin’s first fortune, along with his colleague Bidzina Iwaniszwili,
was allocated to the “Agroprogress” cooperative, which was to “promote” computer
technologies. It is worth stopping here and seeing who is Malkin’s partner at the time – later known as Bidzina Iwaniszwili.

Georgian partner
Bidzina, Georgian billionaire and politician. The leader of the Georgian Dream coalition,
which won the parliamentary elections in October 2012. Prime Minister of Georgia from
October 25, 2012 to November 20, 2013. According to Forbes magazine, the value of his
assets in 2009 amounted to USD 3.2 billion and systematically increased over the next three
years. In March 2012, as Georgia’s richest man, he was ranked 153th on Forbes’ richest
people list with a net worth of $ 6.4 billion. His fortune was half of the annual Georgian
budget (https://www.forbes.com/profile/borisivanishvili/).

He suddenly appeared in Georgian politics in 2011, interestingly in the same year, he owned
a minority stake in Russian Gazprom worth 1.5 billion dollars. Ivanishvili created a new
political party from scratch and gathered around him opponents of the then-president
Mikheil Saakashvili, was criticized by the opposition, among others for violating human
rights, especially in prisons. But it was Saakashvili after the “Rose Revolution” who transformed Georgia from the most criminal state in the Caucasus into the most secure,
fighting the gigantic scale of corruption along the way.

In the media, Bidzina says that he would rather be a fruit grower than a politician. In fact, it
is successful on both levels. His party has been in power continuously since 2012, and he is
surrounded by nature wherever he can. He even built a residence for himself in the Tbilisi
Botanical Park. But this is not his only property. More beautiful and larger, because it covers
260,497 m2, it is located on the shores of the Black Sea, surrounded by subtropical greenery,
separated by a tight fence from the eye of an interesting passerby. There, Bidzina realizes
itself as a fruit grower.

The Russian-Georgian Dream, or the rise of Uncle’s power
Coming back, however, to the 1990s and the fledgling Russian, post-Soviet pseudo capitalism
and cooperation on the Malkin Iwaniszwili line. As can be seen from many Russian websites
devoted to the activities of oligarchs (in this case also: https://hrmonitor.ru/bio/vitalijmalkin.html), the next business step in the path of this business duo that made their first big money in hard currency was to set up a bank called OJSC Bank Russian Credit. In 1996, it was the seventh-largest bank in Russia by assets. In 1997, the bank was transformed into a joint-stock company. Due to the Russian financial crisis in 1998, the Russian Loan became insolvent and lost most of its clients, and hence also deposits – despite this, the bank stayed on the surface. However, Malkin left the company in 2005, and Ivanishvili in 2012. In 2016, the bank’s license was withdrawn, and therefore its activity had to be suspended.

The businessman received a minority stake in a company specializing in oil and gas. In 2011, the company was sold to Rosneft, followed by the career of the Russian-Georgian duo with the
purchase of a number of newly privatized Russian mining plants. In 2002, they sold their
combined metallurgical assets for about $ 2.2 billion.
In 2012, Malkin’s official tax returns showed that he was the richest member of Russia’s
upper house of parliament (Federation House), earning $ 33.6 million in 2011 alone. He
resigned from parliament in 2013 after allegations that he illegally held dual Israeli and
Russian citizenship and significant assets. His efforts to obtain Canadian citizenship were
repeatedly rejected due to reports that the government was concerned about alleged ties to
organized crime as reported in The Times (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/vitalymalkinthe-philosophical-oligarch-hoping-to-turn-hisbook-into-a-bestseller-fb7hg3m3t).
Cooperation with “Uncle”.
It was for him that we arranged the girls through Gosai’s agency. Gosia was one of the
people who used my and Kinia’s services. Kinia knew Gosia longer than I did, I had no specific
knowledge about her. Always according to her guidelines, I sent certain girls to the same
client, which is Vitaly. I did not know then that Gosia is like Vitaly’s agent for Poland, who has
a clearly defined task: searching for new victims of the “sexual gains” of a powerful Russian
oligarch. One of such girls was Magda, who confided to me what happened on one of such
trips :
“We went to Moscow, he hosted the girls most often there. There were always several of
them. I saw that not all of them were of legal age. He welcomed us in his very expensive
palace in a villa district near Moscow. His wife had access to the huge house, and in this case
he had a special tunnel dug to avoid meeting with his spouse. He was obsessed with our age.
I noticed that our passports were checked during our stay in order to verify our date of birth.”

Magda reported

“We often lied to Vitaly (with Gosia’s permission) about the age of the girls, as his
requirements seemed to be pedophilic. Girls often got into a row over the fact that he had
been deceived about their age. We chose girls of his type of beauty, which he always
accepted. The issue that led to the controversy was age.”
As reported by Magda.
“ During my stay, we saw Vitaly’s irritated people. Russian bunny girls said that he was
furious because he found out that one of the girls had lowered her age. One Ukrainian
woman was allegedly kidnapped and burned her passport, he expected that she was 15, not

I completely did not understand the oligarch’s motives.”

When Can You Sue For Getting Cancer?

When Can You Sue For Getting Cancer?

Being diagnosed with cancer can be devastating and affect anyone at any age. Several factors, such as genetics and lifestyle, can cause it. However, cancer can also be caused by the negligence of others. In such an instance, you can sue the people responsible for causing your cancer and claim compensation for the diagnosis and any associated damages.

Determining when and who to sue for getting cancer can be a complex process. So, it’s a wise idea to hire a lawyer to get you through the process and get the compensation you deserve. The attorney can advise you on when, how, and whom to sue for getting cancer.

With that said, here’s when you can sue for getting cancer:

  1. Product Liability 

You can sue for getting cancer from a defective product. For example, in one hair product cancer lawsuit, a claim was made that a hair straightening product was causing uterine cancer in women. The defects in the hair product increase the risk of developing uterine cancer for whoever uses it. If you think you’re in a similar situation, you can sue the manufacturers if a certain product increases your risk of developing cancer.

However, proving your case and claiming compensation can be challenging. In such a case, you must prove the defective product caused your cancer to sue the manufacturer or retailer. You’ll have to request tests on the products to prove the defect and the relationship to cancer development. The product defect has to have caused your cancer diagnosis directly. One example is when the product has excessive amounts of lead. You’ll need to hire experts or resort to government authorities to investigate the product to prove this. This way, you have a piece of solid evidence to sue the product manufacturer.

  • Medical Negligence 

Medical negligence is one of the most common reasons to sue for getting cancer. You could sue for medical malpractice if the doctors, healthcare facility, hospital, or other medical professionals failed to offer the standard of care causing your cancer diagnosis. For example, if the doctor failed to order necessary tests or misdiagnosed your case resulting in cancer progression, you can sue for medical negligence.  

To successfully sue for medical negligence, you must prove that the medical practitioner’s actions directly caused your cancer diagnosis. You must also show that you suffered damage because of the negligent actions of the medical practitioner. By doing so, you can claim compensation for treatment of progressing cancer, lost wages if you cannot work, and pain and suffering.

  • Environmental Factors 

Exposure to environmental pollutants and toxins is a common risk factor for cancer. Prolonged exposure to asbestos at the workplace, radiation, and other chemicals can increase cancer risk. If you can prove your cancer was caused by exposure to a certain environmental toxin like asbestos, consider suing the company or entity responsible for the pollutants.

Suppose a company’s activities produce excessive radiation that affects the population in a specific area and results in cancer. In that case, you can sue that company for exposing you to toxins that caused the development of your cancer.

Like the previous points, you must prove your cancer was directly caused by a specific substance you were exposed to. You’ll also have to show that the exposure was from the negligence of the company or entity you’re suing. Another aspect you must consider is the entity’s knowledge of the potential risks of exposing people to the toxin or substance. Since you’ll also claim that the company or entity was negligent, expose their bad practices that contributed to the development of your cancer.

Additionally, working in a hazardous environment may expose you to substances or toxins that can increase your cancer risk. For instance, if you’re a construction worker with constant exposure to asbestos, you’ll be at risk of developing cancer. Working as a firefighter can also expose you to asbestos and other carcinogenic substances that cause cancer.  

You can sue your employer for getting cancer while working in a hazardous environment. To be successful, you must prove the cancer was caused directly by exposure to a specific chemical or substance at the workplace or in the line of duty. For example, getting cancer from asbestos exposure at a construction site.  

In such a suit, you’ll claim compensation for the medical expenses covering the diagnosis and treatment, lost wages, damages for the pain and suffering caused to you and your family, and other associated costs.  

Conclusion  Getting a cancer diagnosis because of someone else’s negligence can be traumatizing and devastating. However, you can get a little relief through compensation for the medical expenses and other related damages, such as pain and suffering. The process of suing for getting cancer can be complicated, and it’d be best to hire an experienced lawyer to handle the litigation process. An attorney can also advise on the available legal options available and the compensation to seek.
