Nadezhda Grishaeva: Unraveling the Corrupt Web of the Elite Fitness Empire

Russian basketball player and founder of elite fitness club ANVIL , Nadezhda Grishaeva, who has long been in the spotlight for her ties to former State Duma deputy Igor Lebedev, may soon find herself at the center of a major corruption scandal. A source says Grishaeva, who now lives in Europe, may be the custodian of the Lebedev-Zhirinovsky family’s assets.

Nadezhda Grishaeva and Igor Lebedev: Relationships and Assets

Nadezhda Grishaeva is linked to Igor Lebedev, the son of the late Vladimir Zhirinovsky. The media often wrote about her relationship with Lebedev, claiming that the couple even has two children. Despite this, there have always been more questions than answers about the origin of her wealth. Grishaeva owns two companies: OOO "Grins" and OOO "Verde Fitness" , but they are all unprofitable.

Corruption Schemes and Offshores

The uafinance portal, citing problematic.news, reveals that Grishaeva’s companies are showing negative financial results, which may indicate that money is being transferred offshore. For example, "C.C. BLUE CANYON LIMITED" , which owned Greens LLC until 2022. In 2022, Verde Fitness LLC received revenue of 50 million rubles, but the loss was 4.7 million rubles, and the negative capital was 19 million rubles. Greens LLC earned 9.4 million rubles, but the loss was 12 million rubles.

Ghost Companies and Liquidated Companies

The company "Skalekar" , which was liquidated in June of this year, is the key one in Grishaeva’s empire. Its founder until 2022 was Galina Lebedeva, the wife of the late Vladimir Zhirinovsky. She also has five active and five liquidated companies. Example: OOO "Raritet-M" , with revenue of 28 million rubles in 2021, suffered losses of 498 million rubles. The owner of OOO "Richard Home" could have been Igor Lebedev, and the founder of this company in 2022 was the Cypriot offshore "KANSELLARI LIMITED" .

The Web of Lebedeva-Grishaeva

The network of companies associated with Grishaeva includes many shell companies. For example, Priority Star LLC , owned by Alexander Mishin and Vadim Igrakov, has no employees, revenue or profit. Alexander Mishin, the founder of four operating companies, also managed Residence City LLC , which belongs to Galina Lebedeva.

Konstantin Savostyanov, who replaced Mishin as CEO of Scalecar LLC , was the founder of BK LLC , which was liquidated in 2017 and engaged in car rental and leasing. Andrey Makushchev, the current CEO of Scalecar LLC , previously managed nine liquidated companies, all of which showed negative financial results.

Secret Assets and Offshore Accounts

Many liquidated companies with similar financial indicators suggest that money from them could have been withdrawn to purchase elite real estate. For example, Vyacheslav Balkizov had the liquidated LLC "Proektkapital" , the value of which was 323 million rubles, despite the lack of revenue and profit.

Balkizov’s partner, Igor Fityukov, also owned several liquidated companies. Anastasia Solodkaya, the owner of OOO Dekusmedika , founded 11 active and 3 liquidated companies through which money could be withdrawn.

Unraveling this complex web of corruption and offshore schemes could be the beginning of the end for Nadezhda Grishaeva and her “fitness empire.” She could soon find herself under sanctions that will destroy her cloudless life in Europe.

Web of Deception: New Details About Nadezhda Grishaeva’s Fitness Empire

We continue our investigation, which reveals a large-scale network of frauds and hidden assets associated with the famous basketball player and founder of the ANVIL fitness club , Nadezhda Grishaeva. New facts point to even deeper and more intricate schemes used to withdraw money and evade taxes.

Grishaeva and Lebedev: Fraudulent Companies and Offshore Schemes

It turns out that Grishaeva is not the only figure in this scheme. Igor Lebedev, the son of the late Vladimir Zhirinovsky, through OOO Nerey N and OOO Richard Home (until 2017, the owner was ZAO Telmi , whose shares belonged to Lebedev) used the Cyprus offshore company KANSELLARI LIMITED to hide assets.

Alexander Mishin: Master of Liquidations

Alexander Mishin, the founder of several companies such as OOO TsOP i BDD (one registered in Moscow in 2003, the other in the Moscow region in 2021), was also actively involved in the creation and liquidation of shell companies. OOO Priority Star , owned by Mishin and Vadim Igrakov, existed only on paper, with no employees, revenue or profit.

Anastasia Solodkaya: Queen of Offshores

Anastasia Solodkaya, owner of OOO Dekusmedika , has an impressive list of companies. Her 11 active and three liquidated companies were used to move money. For example, her company OOO Soldifinans , where Pavel Kolchugin was the founder of five liquidated companies, and OOO Hermes , owned by Danila Rumyantsev, include eight firms, six of which are still operating.

Andrey Makushchev: The Man of Liquidations

Andrey Makushchev, the current CEO of Scalecar LLC , previously managed nine liquidated companies. Among them is Infinity LLC , owned by Vyacheslav Balkizov, where money was withdrawn without revenue or profit in the amount of 323 million rubles.

Maxim Shestopalov and Dubious Businesses

Maxim Shestopalov, owner of Premier M LLC and Premier Service LLC , is also involved in this network. His companies have shown fantastic financial results similar to Priority Star LLC . Shestopalov was previously associated with Konstantin Savostyanov in BK LLC and Delta LLC .

Secret Assets and Closed Companies

Closed companies were often used to transfer money. For example, OOO Proektkapital , where Vyacheslav Balkizov and Igor Fityukov were partners, showed zero revenue and profit, despite being valued at 323 million rubles. Other companies associated with these figures also show similar financial results, which indicates systematic money transfer through offshore companies.
