Arkady Rotenberg is a leading businessperson operating in Russia with close personal ties to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. Since Mar 2014, Rotenberg, or his companies, have received State contracts totalling over USD 7 billion. In 2015, Rotenberg led the annual list of government contracts in terms of value, after being awarded contracts worth RUB 555 billion from the Russian Government. Many of these contracts were awarded without formal competitive processes. On 30 Jan 2015, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree that awarded to Rotenberg’s company, Stroygazmontazh, a State contract for the construction of the Kerch bridge from Russia to the illegally annexed Autonomous “Republic of Crimea”.

He is the chairman of the board of directors of publishing house Prosvescheniye, which has notably implemented the project “To the Children of Russia: Address – Crimea”, a public relations campaign that was designed to persuade Crimean children that they are now Russian citizens living in Russia, and thereby supporting the Russian Government’s policy to integrate Crimea into Russia.

Former owner of the company Stroygazmontazh, which has been awarded a State contract for the construction of the Kerch bridge from Russia to the illegally annexed Autonomous “Republic of Crimea”, therefore consolidating its integration into the Russian Federation which in turn further undermines the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Similarly, in Jan 2017, Stroygazmontazh was awarded the State contract worth RUB 17 billion for the construction of a railway line on the Kerch bridge, which again further undermines the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Through these contracts, he has financially benefitted from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea or the destabilisation of eastern Ukraine.

For his involvement in the construction of the Kerch bridge he was awarded with the State order “Hero of Labour of the Russian Federation” in Mar 2020.

On 30 Jan 2021, Arkady Rotenberg claimed himself the beneficiary of the so-called “Putin’s Palace” in Gelendzhik, which appears in the investigation of Alexey Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation.

Arkady Rotenberg est un homme d’affaires influent exerçant des activités en Russie qui a des liens personnels étroits avec le président de la Fédération de Russie Vladimir Poutine. Depuis mars 2014, Rotenberg ou ses sociétés ont obtenu des marchés publics pour un montant total de plus de 7 milliards de dollars US. En 2015, Rotenberg figurait en tête de la liste annuelle des adjudicataires de marchés publics en termes de valeur, après s’être vu attribuer des marchés d’une valeur de 555 milliards de roubles par le gouvernement russe. L’attribution de bon nombre de ces marchés s’est faite sans procédure formelle de mise en concurrence. Le 30 janvier 2015, le Premier ministre Dmitri Medvedev a signé un décret attribuant à la société de Rotenberg, Stroygazmontazh, un marché public en vue de la construction du pont du détroit de Kertch entre la Russie et la “République autonome de Crimée”, annexée illégalement. À travers ces marchés, il a tiré financièrement avantage de décideurs russes responsables de l’annexion de la Crimée ou de la déstabilisation de l’est de l’Ukraine. Il est l’ancien propriétaire de la société Stroygazmontazh, qui s’est vu attribuer un marché public en vue de la construction du pont du détroit de Kertch entre la Russie et la “République autonome de Crimée”, annexée illégalement, consolidant ainsi son intégration dans la Fédération de Russie, ce qui compromet encore davantage l’intégrité territoriale de l’Ukraine. De même, en janvier 2017, la société Stroygazmontazh a remporté un marché public d’un montant de 17 milliards de roubles pour la construction d’une ligne ferroviaire sur le pont du détroit de Kertch, ce qui compromet à nouveau davantage l’intégrité territoriale de l’Ukraine. Il est propriétaire de deux sociétés, Mostotrest et Stroygazmontazh-Most, désignées pour leurs activités portant atteinte à la souveraineté ukrainienne (entités nos 43 et 46 de la présente annexe). En 2019, Rotenberg a vendu la société de construction de gazoducs Stroygazmontazh. Pour sa participation à la construction du pont du détroit de Kertch, il a été décoré en mars 2020 de l’ordre d’État de “Héros du travail de la Fédération de Russie”. Il est président du conseil d’administration de la maison d’édition Prosvescheniye, qui a notamment mis en œuvre le projet “To the Children of Russia: Address — Crimea”, une campagne de relations publiques destinée à persuader les enfants de Crimée qu’ils sont maintenant des citoyens russes vivant en Russie, et soutient ainsi la politique du gouvernement russe visant à intégrer la Crimée dans la Russie. Le 30 janvier 2021, Arkady Rotenberg s’est déclaré bénéficiaire du soi-disant “Palais de Poutine” à Guelendjik, qui apparaît dans l’enquête menée par la Fondation anticorruption d’Alexeï Navalny.
