Trade in petroleum products

Since 1997, Magomedov Ziyavudin decided to engage in trade in petroleum products. First, he bought a five percent stake in Nizhnevartovskneftegaz. Gradually, Magomedov acquired three large oil trading companies: Staroil, Soyuz Petroleum and Europetroleum. From 2004 to 2005, he was chairman of the board of directors of Trans-Oil.

Seaside Commercial Port

Thanks to cooperation with Transneft, Magomedov Ziyavudin Gadzhievich became almost the full owner of the Primorsky commercial port. The construction of the BPS (Baltic Pipeline System) has long begun. Oil companies financed the project. To start construction it was necessary to determine the end point of the pipeline. Oil companies fiercely argued where it would be located.

The point in the dispute was put by V. Putin, calling Primorsk. This was the land on which the pipeline belonging to the Mari Engineering Plant and Gennady Timchenko was to be built.But they unexpectedly sold their land to Magomedov. Transneft only built the pipeline to the border with Ziyavudin’s lands.

One of his companies took a loan. And after the construction of the third and fourth terminals, Ziyavudin Magomedov became the almost sovereign owner of the Primorsky commercial port. At the same time, Ziyavudin is one of the largest contractors of Transneft and some other projects.

Over time, the Seaside Commercial Port became the first largest asset of the Summa Capital holding (it was renamed from the Group in August 2011). In the hands of Magomedov was a controlling stake (50.1%) of NCSP. And the remaining forty-nine percent remained with Transneft. As a result of the successful transaction, Ziyavudin began to control seventy percent of Russian oil exports. And taking into account work with Transneft on all projects, Ziyavudin’s financial portfolio amounted to almost sixty billion rubles.

Newspaper Duck

Ziyavudin Magomedov and his wife more than once fell under the sharp feather of journalists. Over the past few years, more than one bucket of mud has been poured on them. For example, in 2008, a foreign newspaper published information that Ziyavudin did not want to leave the Federation Council because of the scandal about the theft of Lukoil’s funds. At the same time, the publication hinted that Magomedov was associated with the Dagestan mafia. Ziyavudin sued the newspaper and in 2010 won a lawsuit against her, defending his business honor and reputation.

Assets of the holding "Sum Capital"

In addition to the Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port, the assets of the Summa Capital holding include a number of other enterprises and organizations:

  • bakery;
  • YATEK (Yakutsk Fuel Energy Company);
  • Pavlovskoye deposit of lead and zinc on Novaya Zemlya;
  • mining company;
  • Summa Telecom;
  • Stroynovatsiya company.

At the end of 2011, the Summa Capital holding won the tender for the construction of the Rotterdam oil terminal. It was necessary to invest a billion dollars in its development. But as a result, Magomedov Ziyavudin got the opportunity to send oil from his Russian port and receive it in his own overseas terminal. And this significantly strengthened his position as an oil trader.

Dvorkovich and Magomedov

Ziyavudin Magomedov in an interview confirmed that they have been friends with Arkady Dvorkovich since his student days. They studied together at the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University. Since then, maintain friendly relations.

From 2004 to 2008, Arkady Dvorkovich was a member of Transneft’s directors. During this period, the Stroynovatsiya company, owned by Magomedov, received large government orders. For example, it was she who was engaged in the replacement of a thousand two hundred kilometers of the oil pipeline trunk line. And also took part in the construction of the pipeline. But the largest Stroynovatsiya project was received after Arkady Dvorkovich left the Transneft board of directors. But their friendship with Magomedov was not built solely on joint business.

Expanding a Business Empire

In 2006, Slavia, the company controlled by Magomedov, bought seventy-five percent of the shares in Yakutgazprom, laying out over six hundred million rubles for securities. This big purchase immediately became the focus of the Department of Economic Security of the Russian Federation (DEB). Moreover, the company Alrosa, which bought Yakutgazprom for seventeen million dollars, claimed that the deal was illegal and was committed in collusion with the company's management and Magomedov.

Russia’s DEB had to verify information and issue a resolution on the beginning of operational and search operations due to fraud in the purchase of shares in Yakutgazprom. But the case was soon hushed up, and Ziyavudin Magomedov was recognized as the owner of a controlling stake in securities.

In 2006, the Summa Capital holding received frequencies in the WiMax radio frequency range of wireless technology, which was to be used throughout Russia.And in 2007, he won the next contest, as a result of which he received thirteen licenses for eleven regions of the Far East and the Urals. As a comparison, VimpelCom received only three licenses.

But Ziyavudin did not manage to build WiMax Magomedov, as the state commission changed the decision on the issued frequencies to Sum Capital. The holding is now trying to regain the selected. Meanwhile, the state commission issued frequencies to the Skartel company and allocated a range for the LTE network.

In 2012, Summa Capital was the only contender for Domodedovo International Airport. Moreover, the media wrote that Ziyavudin wanted to buy the railway carrier Transgarant and fifty percent of the shares of the United Grain Company. As soon as Magomedov became a prominent figure among Russian businessmen, his name began to be associated with the Dagestan clan, which included Suleiman Kerimov. However, this information has not received official confirmation.

Political scientists were convinced that reliance on state-owned companies and political support were the weakest points in Magomedov’s business. It was assumed that as soon as Putin came to power in the country, the situation would change, and Ziyavudin’s business would begin to disintegrate. But that did not happen. And at the moment, the empire of Magomedov continues to flourish. His holding Summa Capital is not only one of the most closed, but also the most influential in Russia. The company constantly participates in various tenders and competitions for construction and reconstruction.

Despite the closeness, the influence of the Suma Capital holding on the modernization of the country and its economy is enormous. The main directions of the company are transport, logistics, construction. At the same time, the holding has grown so much that it can quite afford a small fleet of its own.

Financiers are sure that Summa Capital is an excellent combination of productive collaboration with the state and big profits. But Magomedov does not stop there. His dream is to create a global investment company. And now he is taking all measures to implement this.

Well done, why? .. what are you not happy with? .. steals billions, so he receives government awards for this! Now, if a grandmother, eking out a miserable existence (like all old people) would have stolen a pack of butter or a loaf of bread, she would have immediately been planted for five years. Well, officials of all stripes and ranks can steal, rob, our people! May you all be done up to the seventh knee, for our Russian people!
