Anna Zubitskaya and Evgeny Zubitskaya wedding. "Cox" will have to get out. Tula raider "stories"

The owner of the industrial and metallurgical holding (IMH) Koks, Evgeny Zubitsky, became a shareholder of Black Star Foods LLC, which manages Black Star Burger burgers, among the owners of which are rapper Timur Yunusov (Timati). The businessman received a stake in the burger chain as a thank you for the long-term partnership on the singer's other projects.


Olimp LLC became a shareholder of Black Star Foods LLC with a 6% share in April this year, follows from Kartoteka.ru data. Olymp LLC is controlled by a participant in the Forbes "200 richest businessmen of Russia" rating for 2017, Evgeny Zubitsky (66.7%) and Chassem Nzale Triffen Walter (33.3%). The latter owns another 13% of Black Star Foods LLC directly and is a partner of the music label Black Star Inc. Other shareholders of Black Star Foods include Yuri Levitas (49%), Pavel Kuryanov (15%), Timur Yunusov (17%). According to Mr. Kuryanov, the deal with Evgeny Zubitsky was penniless, his participation is a gratitude for the long-term partnership on other projects. A spokesman for Yevgeny Zubitsky notes that his involvement in the eatery business may be short-lived. "Mr. Zubitsky does not plan to increase his share in Black Star Foods, on the contrary, it is possible to reduce it," the interlocutor explained.

According to Forbes, Yevgeny Zubitsky's net worth is $500 million. Last year, he became the owner of a 45% stake in IMH Koks after his father Boris Zubitsky left the shareholders, dividing the shares between Yevgeny and his wife Galina. For Zubitsky Jr., participation in Black Star Foods is not the first partnership with Timati: he also owns 5% of Black Star Inc. Another 25% of Black Star Inc is directly owned by the offshore Dillon Coop U.A. This company acts in the interests of Yevgeny Zubitsky, according to Kommersant's interlocutors.

Burgers have become one of the most fashionable and sought-after items on the menu; now they are offered in establishments of various formats, including haute cuisine. In the first four months of 2017, restaurant orders for burgers increased by 9%, according to NPD. In the last 12 months, democratic burgers have opened in Moscow, where the recipe and prices are better and higher than in fast food: in NPD they are classified as fast casual.

"The Black Star Burger project has two successful components. On the one hand, it is a concept with fashionable premium burgers. On the other hand, there is already added value in the name of the singer, and fans are willing to pay to be" visiting the star "", comments expert on the catering market of the NPD research agency Natalia Aristarkhova. She notes that the market for such a concept is limited to Moscow, where the consumer is more willing to pay extra for a premium menu and fashion.

According to NPD, burgers account for 10% of orders in restaurants, 54% in fast food, that is, every second visitor orders them. In other countries, the fast casual segment continues to grow. In Europe, it increases annually by at least 15%, at the end of last year it occupied 4% of the market, in the USA - 5%, in Australia - 7%. In Russia, fast casual accounted for 0.8% of the market following the results of four months of this year. According to Ms. Aristarkhova, the segment has great potential. "It will grow for several more years. Over the past year, Russian fast casual has more than doubled," the expert concludes.

"Tula Business Journal" and IA "Tulskiye Novosti" continue to publish the rating of the hundred most influential people in the Tula region in 2017. By tradition, it is announced from the end to the beginning, 5 surnames daily. Today we will introduce those who are in 16-20 places.

The project was prepared jointly by the editors of the Tula Business Journal, the Tulskiye Novosti news agency and the Tula Sociological Center NP.

Graduated from the Moscow State University of Commerce in 1989.

After completing his military service, he began working as a gasman at the Kemerovo Coke and Chemical Plant.

From 1998 to 1999, he held the position of Deputy General Director of ZAO RK-Metall.

From 1999 to 2000, he was Deputy General Director and then General Director of OAO Tulachermet.

From 2001 to 2007, he was Chairman of the Board of Directors of OAO Tulachermet.

In 2012, the Koks Group sold the Ufaleynickel and Rezhnickel plants to Glencore International structures.

In 2016, the founder of the Industrial and Metallurgical Holding and Yevgeny's father, Boris Zubitsky, left the holding's shareholders, dividing his shares equally between Yevgeny and his wife Galina. As a result, Evgeny's stake grew to 45%. Another co-owner of IMH is Evgeny's brother Andrey.

Unfortunately, in February 2017, Boris Zubitsky died. In the TOP-100 for 2016, he took 46th place.

Currently, Evgeny Zubitsky is the President of Industrial and Metallurgical Holding Managing Company LLC.

Now, next to Tulachermet, the largest investment project in the Russian ferrous metallurgy, Tulachermet-Steel, is being implemented. The new metallurgical enterprise will work in cooperation with Tulachermet and produce high-quality rolled products for the needs of the domestic engineering and construction industry, contributing to import substitution.

The launch of the enterprise will take place in 2018. By the end of next year, the enterprise will employ more than 1,800 people. In addition to its high social significance, Tulachermet-Steel will also be one of the most environmentally friendly iron and steel enterprises in the country. The construction of this plant applies the best available practices in the field of environmental protection.

In 2017, Zubitsky became the owner of a stake in Black Star Foods LLC, which is developing the Black Star Burger fast food chain. Another well-known co-owner of the company is rapper Timur Yunusov (Timati).

Married, three children. He is fond of sports, a candidate for master of sports. Since this year, he has been the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Boxing Federation of the Tula Region.

"Tooth for a tooth"?

Who ends up with Cox?

Alfa-Bank and Tulachermet signed a loan agreement for 8 billion rubles. "Tulachermet" received money for three years to refinance the current debt. "Alfa-Bank offered attractive conditions, thanks to which we were able to effectively optimize the structure of the loan portfolio and ensure a comfortable repayment period for the company," said Sergey Cherkaev, financial director of the company.

Tulachermet belongs to the Kemerovo group Cox. The group has long had big financial problems. Its owner Boris Zubitsky died not so long ago. He had already given all the affairs of Cox to his sons Evgeny and Andrey.

Inheritance, I must say, the father left, though solid, but not the easiest financially. The Cox Group is in deep debt. It exceeds 50 billion rubles.

It's only a year. A loan from Alfa-Bank, here is very welcome. But will this save one of the most modern Russian enterprises in terms of technology?

I must say that the sons of Boris Zubitsky are not very involved in the affairs of the plant. Apparently there are other concerns. There were rumors in the Kemerovo region that they were generally indifferent to the enterprise, unlike their father.

That is why, apparently, such a profitable enterprise turned out to be in financial bondage. And forced to take loans from banks. It must be said that, while still alive, Boris Zubitsky openly stated that his son Evgeny, to put it mildly, does not manage the plant very well.

Search a woman!

And here the ex-wife of Boris Zubitsky Galina Zubitskaya intervened.

The transfer of shares was preceded by a lawsuit on the division of property with his wife, which the Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow registered on May 24. The court seized the property of the owner of Cox, but already on August 17, the division case was dismissed, the arrest was lifted, the court decision entered into force on September 2, follows from the court data.

Disagreements between the spouses were settled out of court, Yevgeny Zubitsky reported through the press service of the IMH. "Zubitsky transferred the shares to his son, it was his personal will, the alienation was carried out free of charge."

Evgeny Zubitsky

Although the late Boris Zubitsky managed to transfer all his assets to his sons, the ex-wife cannot calm down and also claims her share in the property acquired by her ex-husband.

Who are the Zubitskys

All 100% of the company's shares are controlled by the Zubitsky family. The document says that 29.23% of Cox's shares are owned by State Duma deputy Boris Zubitsky, 34.27% and 24.84% by his sons Evgeny and Andrey.

Also, according to some Kemerovo mass media, several sales firms operate on the territory of Cox. They are also owned by the Zubitsky sons! Another 10% is owned by Buclinton Holding Ltd, registered in the British Virgin Islands, which is also controlled by the Zubitskys. In this regard, experts claim that Cox's assets are transferred offshore through it!

How does coke get

Boris Zubitsky has been collecting a controlling stake in Cox for several years, says the head of one of the Kemerovo coal companies. From about 1993 to 1998, he bought shares from the plant's employees with his own savings and bank loans.

Boris Zubitsky

When the Zubitskys collected about 10% of the company's shares, at an extraordinary meeting of shareholders in 1995, Boris Zubitsky became the general director of Cox. And in 2000, they bought about 60% of one of Russia's leading iron producers, Tulachermet, which used most of the coke from the plant.

Enterprise "Koks"

And suddenly Boris Zubitsky died. And all the shares and inheritance rights are with the sons. And those with seemingly well-established businesses cannot really cope. In this situation, there is nothing left but to take bank loans.

Alfa Bank gave a loan. But for him he will ask in full. The bank is private and like any other bank knows how to count money. Especially your money.

How did Tulachermet get

in the early 2000s, the two largest enterprises in the Tula region began a protracted corporate conflict between themselves. Representatives of OAO "Tulachermet", owned by Zubitsky, blocked the access roads to OAO "Vanadiy", 67% of whose shares were then owned by the financial and industrial group "Alef".

Twenty-two wagons with raw materials that were not allowed to go to Vanadium actually stopped the work of the enterprise. In addition, the supply of steam, which is necessary in the production of ferroalloys, was stopped at Vanadium.

For an enterprise with a continuous production cycle, all this is tantamount to a disaster. Then the struggle between the businessmen became more like a "gangster action movie". So, with two KAMAZ trucks, fifty "Chopovites" in masks were delivered to one of the factory checkpoints. The checkpoint was occupied.

An armed police unit appeared immediately. A little later - journalists and TV people. As a result, the conflict between Alef and Zubitsky became public.

And here Vinokurov

More like and. The fact is that his company A1 is just part of the Alpha group. And the appetites of the son-in-law of the Minister of Foreign Affairs have long been immeasurable. In this regard, a reasonable question arises - did Vinokurov set his sights on a very appetizing asset called Cox in this way?

Quite possibly. On the children of Boris Zubitsky, nature, I must say, rested. Coke gradually winds up in a dead end. Why not seize the initiative in this situation? After all, there is something to intercept!

And Vinokurov can intercept. It may very well. And here no one orders him. Especially while the father-in-law is in such political favor. You have to take advantage of the moment. Only now the Siberians - represented by the sons of Boris Zubitsky - are also hard-nosed people.

Will not find here a scythe on a stone?
