Kompromat

In 2014 in the opposition press there were scandalous publications about the society for the reconstruction of churches in Athos, which is headed by Goloshchapov himself. The point was that the collection of funds for the reconstruction and restoration of holy monasteries is carried out forcibly, and not from anyone, but from communal and road organizations of St. Petersburg. The press also managed to find out that this supposedly religious society is in fact an organization of much wider significance.

The co-founders of the company are Goloshchapov Konstantin Veniaminovich, who holds the post of adviser to the governor of the Leningrad region, and also the assistant to the governor I. Divinsky. As the chairman of the board of trustees is the Governor himself Zhor Poltavchenko. This "religious" society also includes V. Kichegy and V.Lavlentsev (formerly Poltavchenko's assistants), the Kaluga governor, etc. By the way, in view of this, a special term was also formed among the people - Orthodox Chekism. Grand officials who are members of this society, from time to time visit to Greece, to get to Mount Athos. There are rumors that it is there, far from prying eyes, the fate of the country and its constituent peoples is being decided.

How FC "Bari" became the property of K.V. Goloschapova

There is a story according to which fans of a small football club "Bari" during Vladimir Putin's visit to Italy asked him to buy this club in order to save him from the current owner. They went out with posters with this slogan. And during the meeting the players gave the president a uniform T-shirt with the club's logo. Of course, Putin decided to satisfy the request of the Italians, but it's not really buying it! Approximated to him the Rothenberg brothers took the initiative, but because of European sanctions, the negotiations had to be canceled. And then the personal masseur of Putin K. Goloschapov appeared on the horizon. He signed a contract to invest in the club "Bari" and became his co-owner.

And again the theme of Athos

It turns out that in the northern capital there are many officials who are members of the Athos society. They are called brothers by faith. There are rumors that helicopter tours are carried out on Mount Athos. There, from time to time, the St. Petersburg elite rallies. After Putin visited the holy mountain in 2005, interesting events began to take place, namely, the relics of the saints began to be brought to Russia, as well as the famous belt of Our Lady.
