In connection with the death of the former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Irina Berezhnaya, media attention fell not only on the personality of the deceased, but also on the sponsor and alleged father of her child, Boris Fuksman.

A businessman of Ukrainian origin is a fairly well-known personality - a media mogul, investor, an active member of many Jewish communities in the world and a cousin of Alexander Rodnyansky. And if there is enough information about his path in the media, then the Fuksman family is a book closed to the public.

The INFORMATOR managed to communicate with a person close to the environment of the media mogul, who spoke about the Fuksman family.

Boris Fuksman was born into a Jewish family of a Kiev antique dealer. In 1970 he graduated from the Technological Institute of the Food Industry, and not the Kiev Trade and Economic Institute, as some sources write. After graduation, he worked at the Kiev documentary film studio as an assistant cameraman, then as an assistant director, and finally as a director of a film. It is not difficult to explain the career rise of a young engineer. Fuksman's cousin is Alexander Rodnyansky. It was Rodnyansky's father who helped the young Fuksman to start his career as a cinematographer.

But he was attracted by money, so Fuksman began to engage in blackmail - he worked with almost everything from Marlboro cigarettes to Levis jeans. Then Fuksman got married for the first, and at the moment, for the last time. Fuksman's chosen one was a woman from Kiev from a Jewish family - Erna, later Fuksman. Erna gave birth to Fuchsman's first daughter, Michelle.

In 1974, Fuksman, having earned the start-up capital on the black market and taking some antiques, moved with his family to Germany, where his relatives still live.

Already living in Germany, Fuchsman divorced Erna, but did not officially divorce. In fact, she is still his official wife. Fuchsman did not file a divorce, since at that time he had already made a certain amount of capital, dealing with antiques and smuggling, and in the event of a divorce, according to German law, he would have remained at a broken trough, since all the assets would have gone to Erna.

In Germany, Fuchsman met his current common-law wife Lilia, who gave another impetus to his business activities. At the time of their acquaintance, Lilia was widowed, she had a daughter, Elena, whom Fuksman raised as his own. After a while, they had a common daughter, Natalia Fuksman.

Fuchsman and Lilia are not officially scheduled, at least in Germany. Most likely, their marriage was registered in another country. As the INFORMATOR learned from a source close to Fuchsman's entourage, he is still officially married to Erna.

Lilia is Natalia Kobzon's cousin, which greatly helped Fuksman in his business. In the nineties of the last century, Joseph Kobzon was closely associated with the Soviet army, which gave Fuksman access to the support of the Soviet army. This is how the values ​​of repatriates and smuggled icons, including those of criminal origin, were transferred to the West and back to the USSR. At the same time, Fuksman mastered a new smuggling channel - the household utensils of Soviet officers. According to some reports, Fuchsman in those years also traded in used weapons of the Soviet contingent in Germany. This became his new income. Thanks to the family ties of his new wife, Fuchsman received almost unlimited business opportunities. It was the money he earned in the nineties that provided the material basis for organizing the media business, which Fuksman now owns.

It is impossible to find information about the Fuchsman family in the media. Wikipedia indicates that he has two daughters - Natalia and Michelle. Some sources name the third - Lilia's daughter from her first husband - Elena. But there is no information about wives or grandchildren. Although, according to information received from the source, Fuksman has many grandchildren, and at least two wives. In several publications with posted photographs, mainly from social events of the cinematic beau monde, Lilia is referred to as "Fuchsman's wife", but her name does not appear anywhere. As, in general, and the surname. According to the source, Lilia bears the surname of her first deceased husband.

The story of the death in a car accident (of the kept woman and mother of Fuksman's fourth child - Danielle, - ed.) Of the former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine from the Party of Regions Irina Berezhnaya again drew attention to the person of Fuksman. A number of media outlets reported that after the death of Berezhnaya, Fuksman, the alleged father of Danielle, arrived in Croatian Zadar for the child. According to the source, he is listed as the girl's father in the documents. Most likely, Interpol summoned him to the country, since if there is a living father or mother, the child is given out first of all to them, and not to other relatives.

According to a source close to Fuchsman's entourage, about five years ago he suffered a stroke, which significantly undermined the health of the media mogul. He speaks poorly and has difficulty walking. It was in this state that Fuksman arrived for his eight-year-old daughter.

According to the source, Lilia did not believe in Fuksman's relationship with Berezhnaya for a long time, but when she was provided with irrefutable facts, she forced her husband to part with his mistress. They did not communicate for about two years, although Fuksman continued to fully provide for the passion with his daughter. Berezhnaya, being “barefoot,” according to his wife, had a bad effect on her husband’s health, especially after a stroke. The source claims that Berezhnaya treated Fuksman badly, was rude to him in public at business meetings, demanding increased attention from a very middle-aged person, calling him an "old asshole." Also, according to the source, Berezhnaya is like two drops of water similar to Lily in her youth.

Later, information appeared in the media that Fuksman and Lilia decided to adopt Berezhnaya's child after the death of their mother. A source from Fuchsman's entourage confirms this information. In his opinion, Lilia could make such a decision, since she is very angry with her husband, not the girl. Lily is a wise enough woman not to transfer her anger to the child. In Dusseldorf, where the Fuchsman family lives, there is a large post-Soviet get-together, among which the Fuchsman family is the elite. And they, among other things, will have to explain why they adopted the girl. Most likely, she will be introduced as the daughter of deceased friends. According to the source, the Düsseldorf-Berlin get-together will not soon realize that Danielle is Fuchsman's own daughter.

We will remind, earlier it was reported that the former MP from the Party of Regions and an ardent adherent of the "Russian world" Irina Berezhnaya died in a car accident in Croatia.

The accident occurred in Croatia at night, at about 01.30 on the highway between the settlements of Maslenitsa and Posedarje. Two people were killed: passenger Berezhnaya and a 38-year-old driver, a citizen of Bulgaria. As a result of the accident, Berezhnaya's 8-year-old daughter was wounded, she was hospitalized.

Later, her father, Boris Fuksman, came to Zadar for the girl.

It also became known that Boris Fuksman and his wife Lilia decided to adopt the child of the deceased Berezhnaya.

I first heard about this tangled and complex case 5 years ago. And most importantly, the explosion of a large director from Kuibyshev subordinate to the KGB of the USSR in the center of Moscow in the mid-1980s was unheard of at that time. What role our V.A. Nekhoroshev played in this, and why the Prosecutor's Office of the USSR marinated him until 89 or 90, if the film does not tell, Vladimir Aleksandrovich himself will tell somehow.

I fell into the "trap"
Here is what the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Leonid Brezhnev reported about a high-profile emergency in the capital, Chairman of the KGB of the USSR Yuri Andropov: “On February 4, 1981 at about 19:30 on the street. Kirov in Moscow in his official car when opening an explosive device of the "trap" type, camouflaged under a box of medicines and transferred through employees, the chief designer of the Kuibyshev Design Bureau of Automatic Systems (KKBAS) of the Ministry of Aviation Industry of the USSR Igor Aleksandrovich Berezhnoy, born in 1934, died from an explosion , Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor of KuAI.
Due to the fact that Berezhnoy was a candidate member of the Kuibyshev city committee of the CPSU, a deputy of the city council and the head of the KKBAS, which was engaged in the development of important defense topics, a criminal case into his death was initiated on February 5, 1981 by the Investigation Department of the KGB of the USSR. Taking into account the personality of the deceased and the circumstances of his death, several investigative versions have been put forward and are being worked out in the case.
Nothing like this has ever happened either in Kuibyshev, or in Moscow, or in the USSR in general. To physically eliminate a "secret" scientist in our country, and even in such an exotic way - something the KGB could not have imagined even in a nightmare.

but on the other hand
However, in those years, almost no one knew about the second side of Igor Berezhny's life, carefully hidden from the public eye - about his participation in frauds under the guise of the KKBAS sign. It is possible that no one would have found out about this if the above-mentioned emergency had not happened. After the explosion in the car and the death of the designer, the State Security Committee took up the affairs of the KKBAS. On the fact of the state of emergency, a criminal case No. 59 was opened here, which the Chekists themselves called "Kapkan".
And the results of the first checks shocked even the leadership of the KGB. During the subsequent audit, numerous abuses surfaced in the financial and economic activities of the bureau. As a result, the USSR Prosecutor's Office on August 25, 1981 opened another criminal case - first under Art. 170 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR (abuse of office), and then under Art. 93-1 (theft of state property on an especially large scale).
It turned out that the management of the KKBAS was simply writing off the inventory acquired at the expense of the budget. This involved the head of the technical department of the KB, 47-year-old Gennady Nerozya, his deputy, 28-year-old Vladimir Nekhoroshev, the photographer of the same department, 32-year-old Mikhail Tsygankov, and the head of the special technical bureau of the KKBAS in Moscow, 58-year-old Solomon Berenshtein.
All of the above scammers were supposed to be arrested on the same day, but Tsygankov drank a lethal dose of dichloroethane before being arrested. During the arrest, Nerozya also tried to commit suicide, in front of the investigator's eyes he stabbed himself in the stomach, but he was immediately taken to the hospital, where doctors saved his life. Nekhoroshev was soon released from the pre-trial detention center on recognizance not to leave, since the investigation considered that the total volume of abuses committed by him was not too large.
It turned out that on a special scale from all Nerozya, who, being a financially responsible person, copied and then sold at a good price literally everything that came to his hand: large consignments of imported film "Kodak", photographic films "Orvo-Chrom" and "Orvo- Color ”, imported color photographic paper and chemicals, and so on. At the same time, Tsygankov helped him to sell the written-off deficit.
In addition, by mutual agreement, the robbers converted into cash and other material values ​​regularly purchased by the KKBAS - televisions, projectors, furniture, ethyl alcohol, spare parts, fabric, etc. In total, during 1976-1981, fraudsters were able to steal state property totaling 21,266 rubles. Huge money for those times, considering that the average salary of an engineer did not exceed 120 rubles a month.
As for the role of Igor Berezhny himself, the following decision was issued by the investigator for especially important cases of the USSR Prosecutor's Office Nikolai Antipov: “… Berezhny's actions… contain signs of a crime under Art. 92 h. 2 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR ". However, here the investigator ruled: “The criminal case against Igor Berezhny Aleksandrovich to stop further production in connection with the death of the latter. "

Prosecutor's decision
But, of course, most of all the investigation was interested in another question: who exactly and, most importantly, why did it take to eliminate Igor Berezhny? From the materials available in the case, it is clear that the KGB of the USSR almost immediately ruled out the possible participation of foreign special services in the case. Therefore, they began to look for the cause of the emergency in Kuibyshev, inside the KKBAS.
But the first perpetrators of the incident were named only three years after the death of Berezhny. In the resolution of the Investigative Department of the KGB of the USSR of January 30, 1984, this is stated as follows: “... it was established that an improvised explosive device was handed over to Berezhny through other persons by Nerozya, who admitted that he had committed a crime on domestic grounds. In this regard, he was charged under item "d" of Art. 102 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR "(premeditated murder under aggravated circumstances. - VE). After that, all materials about the explosion were separated from the general criminal case and transferred for further actions from the KGB of the USSR to the Prosecutor's Office of the USSR.
It would seem that the investigation into the incident is almost complete. The main culprit has been identified, and now only a few formalities need to be settled and the case brought to court. However, on November 12, 1984, the USSR Prosecutor's Office issued a resolution ... to discontinue this criminal case due to the "lack of evidence of the charges brought against Neroza."
The author of these lines did not manage to find any information about whether after that the search for those responsible for the murder of the head of the secret Kuibyshev design bureau continued in the allied prosecutor's office. However, it is obvious that if the investigation continued, then it did not lead to the capture of any other criminals.

The killer is unknown
In the spring of 1985, a criminal case against Nerozi, Nekhoroshev and Berenshtein on the theft of state property on an especially large scale was transferred to the Kuibyshev Special Court. So in Soviet times, special units were called in the structure of all regional courts of the USSR, where criminal cases were heard in which secret enterprises were involved in one way or another. The proceedings in this case were accepted by judge Alexander Shchupakov, who at that time was the chairman of the special court. But despite the fact that at that time he only considered materials about the embezzlement, Shchupakov had his own version of the murder of Igor Berezhny.
“There is no doubt that Berezhnoy was aware of most of the abuses taking place at the KKBAS,” says Alexander Anatolyevich. - After all, it was he who endorsed many acts for the cancellation of material assets. At the same time, I believe that the main organizer of the embezzlement was not Nerozya at all, but Berenshtein, whose role in the investigation turned out to be very vague.
Once the head of the KKBAS received information that the regional department of the KGB is very interested in his department. And this meant that a sanction was received from Moscow for these actions. Local initiative in such matters was completely excluded. Then Berezhnoy ordered to stop the theft at least for a while. However, his henchmen balked. But Berezhnoy insisted, and the robbers decided: so that they would not be disturbed, the boss should be physically eliminated. Which was done on February 4, 1981.
Here a reasonable question arises: why was his murder never solved? After all, this case was not dealt with by anyone, but the omnipotent KGB. My opinion on this matter is as follows. As can be seen from the case, in 1984 the investigation into the murder was taken out of the hands of the KGB and transferred to the prosecutor's office, whose leadership was then instructed from above not to establish the identity of the customer. It’s just that someone really didn’t want the investigation to find out about the “big people” from Moscow involved in the theft of the KKBAS.
It remains to add that in August 1985, by the verdict of the Kuibyshev special court, Gennady Nerozya received 10 years, and Solomon Berenshtein - 8 years in prison. Vladimir Nekhoroshev got off with three years probation. And a year later, the Supreme Court of the USSR reduced the sentence for Berenshtein to 6 years.

Dossier
Igor Berezhnoy, born on April 21, 1934 in Samara. From 1951 to 1957 he studied at the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute, then worked here at different departments. Already at that time, Berezhnoy showed himself as a talented experimenter. In 1966 he defended his Ph.D. thesis, and soon, with the assistance of Tupolev, Antonov, Myasishchev and others, the Design Bureau "Chassis for Airplanes and Helicopters" was created as part of the Kuibyshev Aggregate Production Association - specially "for Berezhny". In 1971, he successfully defended his doctoral dissertation, and in 1972, on the basis of the above-mentioned OKB, KKBAS was formed. This bureau was headed by Berezhnaya until his death. He has authored over 200 scientific works, many inventions and scientific and technical developments, the most famous of which was the laser landing system for aircraft "Glissade".

30 years ago in Moscow, the head of the aviation design bureau, Igor Berezhny, was blown up in a company car

The news of the death of the chief designer of the KKBAS then spread almost instantly. Even though it happened in Moscow. After all, every second engineer and two-thirds of Kuibyshev's workers at that time worked at defense plants. Some veterans of these productions still remember how shocked they all were.

I fell into the "trap"
Here is what the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Leonid Brezhnev reported about a high-profile emergency in the capital, Chairman of the KGB of the USSR Yuri Andropov: “On February 4, 1981 at about 19:30 on the street.

But the first perpetrators of the incident were named only three years after the death of Berezhny. In the resolution of the Investigative Department of the KGB of the USSR of January 30, 1984, this is stated as follows: “... it was established that an improvised explosive device was handed over to Berezhny through other persons by Nerozya, who admitted that he had committed a crime on domestic grounds. In this regard, he was charged under item "d" of Art. 102 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR "(premeditated murder under aggravated circumstances. - VE). After that, all materials about the explosion were separated from the general criminal case and transferred for further actions from the KGB of the USSR to the Prosecutor's Office of the USSR.
It would seem that the investigation into the incident is almost complete. The main culprit has been identified, and now only a few formalities need to be settled and the case brought to court. However, on November 12, 1984, the USSR Prosecutor's Office issued a resolution ... to discontinue this criminal case due to the "lack of evidence of the charges brought against Neroza."
The author of these lines did not manage to find any information about whether after that the search for those responsible for the murder of the head of the secret Kuibyshev design bureau continued in the allied prosecutor's office. However, it is obvious that if the investigation continued, then it did not lead to the capture of any other criminals.

The killer is unknown
In the spring of 1985, a criminal case against Nerozi, Nekhoroshev and Berenshtein on the theft of state property on an especially large scale was transferred to the Kuibyshev Special Court. So in Soviet times, special units were called in the structure of all regional courts of the USSR, where criminal cases were heard in which secret enterprises were involved in one way or another. The proceedings in this case were accepted by judge Alexander Shchupakov, who at that time was the chairman of the special court. But despite the fact that at that time he only considered materials about the embezzlement, Shchupakov had his own version of the murder of Igor Berezhny.
“There is no doubt that Berezhnoy was aware of most of the abuses taking place at the KKBAS,” says Alexander Anatolyevich. - After all, it was he who endorsed many acts for the cancellation of material assets. At the same time, I believe that the main organizer of the embezzlement was not Nerozya at all, but Berenshtein, whose role in the investigation turned out to be very vague.
Once the head of the KKBAS received information that the regional department of the KGB is very interested in his department. And this meant that a sanction was received from Moscow for these actions. Local initiative in such matters was completely excluded. Then Berezhnoy ordered to stop the theft at least for a while. However, his henchmen balked. But Berezhnoy insisted, and the robbers decided: so that they would not be disturbed, the boss should be physically eliminated. Which was done on February 4, 1981.
Here a reasonable question arises: why was his murder never solved? After all, this case was not dealt with by anyone, but the omnipotent KGB. My opinion on this matter is as follows. As can be seen from the case, in 1984 the investigation into the murder was taken out of the hands of the KGB and transferred to the prosecutor's office, whose leadership was then instructed from above not to establish the identity of the customer. It’s just that someone really didn’t want the investigation to find out about the “big people” from Moscow involved in the theft of the KKBAS.
It remains to add that in August 1985, by the verdict of the Kuibyshev special court, Gennady Nerozya received 10 years, and Solomon Berenshtein - 8 years in prison. Vladimir Nekhoroshev got off with three years probation. And a year later, the Supreme Court of the USSR reduced the sentence for Berenshtein to 6 years.

Dossier
Igor Berezhnoy, born on April 21, 1934 in Samara. From 1951 to 1957 he studied at the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute, then worked here at different departments. Already at that time, Berezhnoy showed himself as a talented experimenter. In 1966 he defended his Ph.D. thesis, and soon, with the assistance of Tupolev, Antonov, Myasishchev and others, the Design Bureau "Chassis for Airplanes and Helicopters" was created as part of the Kuibyshev Aggregate Production Association - specially "for Berezhny". In 1971, he successfully defended his doctoral dissertation, and in 1972, on the basis of the above-mentioned OKB, KKBAS was formed. This bureau was headed by Berezhnaya until his death. He was the author of more than 200 scientific papers, many inventions and scientific and technical developments, the most famous of which was the Glissade laser landing system.

    Thank you so much for the very useful information in the article. Everything is stated very clearly. Feels like a lot of work has been done on analyzing the eBay store

    • Thank you and other regular readers of my blog. Without you, I would not have been motivated enough to devote a lot of time to running this site. My brains are arranged like this: I like to dig deep, organize scattered data, try what no one has done before, or did not look from this angle. It is a pity that only our compatriots, because of the crisis in Russia, are by no means up to shopping on eBay. They buy on Aliexpress from China, as goods there are several times cheaper (often at the expense of quality). But online auctions eBay, Amazon, ETSY will easily give the Chinese a head start on the range of branded items, vintage items, handicrafts and various ethnic goods.

        It is your personal attitude and analysis of the topic that is valuable in your articles. Don't leave this blog, I often look here. There should be many of us. Email me I recently received an offer to teach me how to trade on Amazon and eBay. And I remembered your detailed articles about these bargaining. area I reread it all over again and concluded that the courses are a scam. I haven't bought anything on eBay myself. I am not from Russia, but from Kazakhstan (Almaty). But we, too, do not need extra spending yet. I wish you the best of luck and take care of yourself in the Asian region.

  • It's also nice that eBay's attempts to russify the interface for users from Russia and the CIS countries have begun to bear fruit. After all, the overwhelming majority of citizens of the countries of the former USSR are not strong in knowledge of foreign languages. No more than 5% of the population know English. There are more among young people. Therefore, at least the interface in Russian is a great help for online shopping on this marketplace. Ebey did not follow the path of his Chinese counterpart Aliexpress, where a machine (very clumsy and incomprehensible, sometimes causing laughter) translation of the description of goods is performed. I hope that at a more advanced stage in the development of artificial intelligence, high-quality machine translation from any language to any in a matter of seconds will become a reality. So far we have this (a profile of one of the sellers on ebay with a Russian interface, but an English-language description):
