Chairman and largest single shareholder in Bank Rossiya. Personal banker for senior officials, including President Putin
(Date of UN designation: 2014-07-30)
Mr Kovalchuk is a long-time acquaintance of President Putin. He is a co-founder of the so-called Ozero Dacha, a cooperative society bringing together an influential group of individuals around President Putin. He is benefiting from his links with Russian decision-makers. He is the chairman and largest shareholder of Bank Rossiya, of which he owned around 38 % in 2013, and which is considered the personal bank of senior officials of the Russian Federation. Since the illegal annexation of Crimea, Bank Rossiya has opened branches across Crimea and Sevastopol, thereby consolidating their integration into the Russian Federation. Through Bank Rossiya, Mr Kovalchuk also took control of Crimean wineries, vineyards and distilleries. Furthermore, Bank Rossiya has important stakes in the National Media Group, which in turn controls television stations which actively support the Russian government’s policies of destabilisation of Ukraine. In 2021, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded Yuri Kovalchuk the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, IV degree, for his great contribution to the implementation of socially significant projects in the Republic of Crimea.
Yuriy Kovalchuk est une connaissance de longue date du président Poutine. Il est cofondateur de “Ozero Dacha”, société coopérative réunissant un groupe influent de personnes autour du président Poutine. Il tire profit de ses relations avec des décideurs russes. Il est président et actionnaire principal de Bank Rossiya, dont il détenait environ 38 % en 2013 et qui est considérée comme la banque personnelle des hauts fonctionnaires de la Fédération de Russie. Depuis l’annexion illégale de la Crimée, Bank Rossiya a ouvert des succursales en Crimée et à Sébastopol, consolidant ainsi son intégration dans la Fédération de Russie. Par l’intermédiaire de Bank Rossiya, Yuriy Kovalchuk a également pris le contrôle des caves, des vignobles et des distilleries de Crimée. Par ailleurs, Bank Rossiya détient d’importantes participations dans le National Media Group, qui contrôle des chaînes de télévision soutenant activement les politiques du gouvernement russe visant à déstabiliser l’Ukraine. En 2021, le président russe Vladimir Poutine a décerné à Yuriy Kovalchuk la médaille de quatrième classe de l’ordre du “Mérite pour la patrie” pour sa contribution importante à la mise en œuvre de projets d’importance sociale en République de Crimée.
