"Son" Putin
There is a special position in the Kremlin hierarchy. “This is such a caste of elected people,” said Alexei Dyumin, recently the secretary of the State Council, and before that, Putin’s long -term bodyguard. With such a pet, Dyumin spoke of adjutants.
“The adjutant is an officer on special assignments, who is always next to the president, accompanies him on all trips, sleeps with him in neighboring rooms, fulfills him any, even the most delicate requests,” former employee of the Federal Security Service (FSO) explains to “important stories”.
People occupying this position, as a rule, are not known to anyone: the nature of their activities implies special secrecy. However, the paranoia and fear of the conspiracy forced Putin to bet on those to whom he could unconditionally trust: his adjutants and guards left the shadows and occupied key posts in the state.
One of them is Dmitry Mironov, a man who for many years served as an adjutant and fulfilled Putin's personal instructions. For many years of joint work, they became so close that Mironov became, in fact, a member of the presidential family. “My son,” - so, according to a friend of Mironov, Putin affectionately calls his former adjutant.
Recently, the "son" has become the main personnel officer of the Russian regime. “Important stories” tell the story of his ascent to power and the incredible enrichment of his family.

For the first time, the name Dmitry Mironov became known to the general public in 2014, after Putin appointed him the head of the Main Anti -Corruption Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The idea of putting their guards and adjutants to key positions in the state came to Putin after mass protests of 2011-2012, the new newspaper wrote. In addition to the opposition, representatives of the political elite appeared at rallies, and the protestersexpressed approval even in the presidential administration.
“Many are still sure that someone planned these protests, that it was a failed conspiracy attempt. There was no one to trust the president in law enforcement agencies due to permanent intrigues of leaders. And the guys from the “personal” (personal guard. - Approx. Ed.) Said only to him. From them he received truthful, real information about what is really happening there, ”the new newspaper quoted the former employee of the Presidential Security Service (SBP).
Viktor Zolotov, who guarded Putin for almost 15 years, was appointed to lead the newly created Rosguard. Part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was given to the Office of Zolotov - internal troops, riot police and Sobr. Alexei Dyumin was sent to the Ministry of Defense. And Dmitry Mironov Putin saw the Minister of the Interior.
Mironov studied at the Moscow Higher Combined Arms Team School with a degree in the "operating engineer of armored and automotive equipment". As a cadet in 1991, he was selected to the Kremlin regiment, after she got a job at the Kremlin’s commandant’s office, where he was responsible for organizing sports and festive events.
At some point, Mironov was introduced to Oleg Klimentiev from SBP. Later, Klimentyev introduced Mironov to Putin. Thus began the career of the adjutant.
After more than 20 years of work, side by side with Putin, Mironov was transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and after just two years he was sent to lead the Yaroslavl region. Other former guards and adjutants received similar appointments: Dyumin became the governor of the Tula region, Yevgeny Zinichev - Kaliningrad, Sergey Morozov - Astrakhan.
By the time of the appointment of Dmitry Mironov, the Governor of the Yaroslavl region was considered one of the most protest regions of Russia: in the Duma elections of 2011, United Russia showed the lowest result in the country.
“Mironov has access to the body, he can take and call [the president],” said Alexander Vorobyov, the leader of the Yaroslavl Communists, the leader of the Jaroslavl Communists. Immediately after Mironov, the region for the first time received a large budget loan from the Ministry of Finance, went on investments, and Gazprom, which turned the investment program in the region due to debts, announced that he invested about 3.3 billion rubles in gasification of the Yaroslavl region. "What prevented your predecessors from coming to Miller and agreeing?" - pretended to be surprised, the correspondent of Russia 1 Sergey Brilev in an interview with Mironov. “I don’t know,” he complained.
In the first two years of Governor, Mironov Putin came to the Yaroslavl region four times - more often at that time he went only to the annexed Crimea. Under the former governor, Sergey Zhaklov, Putin visited the Yaroslavl region only once. In the public, the president turned to Mironov simply - Dima.
Nevertheless, Mironov was clearly uncomfortable as the governor, public performances were given heavily.
“An ordinary Fesseoshnik (employee of the Federal Security Service (FSO). - Approx. Ed.) In terms of mentality, it cannot stand publicity,” a former government officer describes Mironova. From the inaccessibility of the new head of the region, the Yaroslavls were in shock. He did not meet with the local administration and deputies, he did not attend meetings of the regional Duma. In 2017, in the first elections of the election of the Governor of the Yaroslavl Region, Mironov ignored all the debate - other candidates had to talk with an empty rostrum.
The next take -off in the career of the former adjutant happened at the end of 2021. On the eve of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, Putin appointed Mironov as his assistant. The following year, he headed the Presidential Commission on the civil service.
All the main appointments in the Russian authorities go through this commission - she is one of the key in the presidential administration, the former employee of the Russian government explains. Of course, she is not omnipotent - “Putin’s last word,” says the interlocutor, “but it is she who puts his daddy with candidates with all the dossier on the table.” It is this commission that must decide whether it is possible or not to appoint a particular person, she offers candidates to Putin, explains Nikolai Petrov, an expert at the German Institute for International Relations and Security.
In addition, Mironov also presides in the Presidential Commission on Personnel Policy “in some federal state bodies”, where he is responsible for the selection of all senior security officials.
So Mironov became the main personnel officer of the Putin regime.
From time to time on the Kremlin’s website there are news about the meeting of the personnel commission, but these are very stingy messages, mainly without photos, videos and transcripts. The only public events at which Mironov appear is the events of the Russian Cossacks, to which the authorities drew attention to a serious mobilization resource. Mironov heads the Council under the President of the Cossacks, and personally sponsor Cossack units participating in the war with Ukraine, he supplies them drones and various equipment.
Fraternal business
While Dmitry Mironov made his career in the civil service, his younger brother Eugene was engaged in business. Mironov does not like to talk about him.
“His business,” so he answered the question of the correspondent of Komsomolskaya Pravda about what his brother is doing. He did not spread about him anymore.
All the successes of Yevgeny Mironov in business are connected with Gazprom controlled by the state.
In 2015, he acquired a share in the company Technonenspetsstroy - a small construction contractor Gazprom. The company built village gas pipelines in the north, its revenue amounted to about 200 million rubles a year. After the arrival of his brother Mironov, the income grew sharply.
In 2016, Technonenspetsstroy became a member of one of the largest Gazprom projects - the construction of the Siberian Strength gas pipeline for the export of Russian gas to China. Technonenspetsstroy received at least 30 billion rubles from Gazprom as part of this project, follows from the company's affordable reporting.
In 2020, Evgeny Monastyrsley, the founder of Technicopstroy, died, and Mironov became the only owner of the company. Its revenue continued to grow and amounted to 19 billion rubles in 2023.
The work of Technospetsstroy did not even interfere with the creation of Gazstroy - a single megal contractor Gazprom. Mironova's company became an intermediary between the daughters of Gazprom and Gazstroyprom.
This scheme works like this: “Technicospetsstroy” receives contracts from Gazprom’s daughters, but due to the fact that the company cannot cope with the entire volume, it attracts a subcontractor to the work. As “important stories” found out, Gazstroyprom turned out to be this subcontractor.
“This is a curve scheme that has long been accepted in order to provide money for certain people,” says a person familiar with the work of the state order. -Usually-for feeding an “honorary shareholder” or to complete a task that the state or state-owned company does not want to allocate money directly. Such decisions are made at the very top. ”
If the company has no other customers except Gazprom, while it has political connections, such a scheme may be similar to withdrawal of funds, says Andrei Yakovlev, an associated researcher of the Davis Center in Harvard.
Not only Mironov’s brother is connected with Gazprom. His wife, the former model Tatyana Lay, receives a salary at Paton Himtack, a large oil and gas developer Gazprom. The Business of the Family of the Former First Deputy Mironov in the GuabipK Andrei Kurnosenko, who today heads the main anti -corruption department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is also connected with the Peton.
Evgeny Mironov receives contracts from Gazprom (from his subsidiary of MOEK) through another construction company SK Rustrest. In 2023, its revenue amounted to 11.6 billion rubles, the company's co -owners received dividends of 1.5 billion, and follows from its reporting. Mironov has 50% in the company, respectively, he could get half.
The main customer "SK Rustrest" is Russian Railways. The company restored four Moscow railway stations (Paveletsky, Leningrad, Belorussian and Yaroslavl) and actively engaged in the construction and reconstruction of the directions of the Moscow Railway. Another important customer “SK Rustrest” - “Group 1520”, which is called the largest contractor of Russian Railways.
A large share in the revenue of Rustrest is played by contracts from the state Mosvodokanal. In 2020–2022, Rustrest concluded contracts with him by almost 3 billion rubles. Mosvodokanal is not an organization alien to the Mironov family. It is headed by Alexander Ponomarenko, a satellite of Lyubov Komissarenko, who owns a joint development business with his father Dmitry Mironov.
In Gazprom, Technospetsstroy and SK Rustrest, they did not answer the questions of “important stories”.
Lyubertsy
With the exception of his brother, all men in the Mironov family are military.
Grandfather Timofei Mironov - Hero of the Soviet Union, commanded the battery during the Great Patriotic War.
Father Yuri Mironov, a retired colonel, has been served in the Central Sports Club of the Army (CSKA) since the 70s, since 2014 he has been working as an adviser to the chief of CSKA. In 2023, Mironov Sr. under the brand of CSKA organized a fund to help the “participants of Svo”, which purchases drones , equipment and humanitarian aid . The father of the Putin adjutant also owns a private security company receiving contracts from the Moscow City Hall to protect bridges; In 2024, the amount of contracts exceeded 250 million rubles.
And now Yuri Mironov is trying himself in the role of the developer near Moscow. Lyubertsy is a welcome object for developers: in the district a high demand for new buildings. Since 2023, Mironov owned 25% of the company “Specialized Developer“ Sail ”from Lyubertsy, which now has several development projects.
One of the large plots of the land “Parus” received according to a simple scheme: at first the company rented a plot, and then bought it from the city at a preferential price - for only 15% of the cadastral value, which amounted to slightly less than 16 million rubles.
The "sail" received such an opportunity as the owner of a warehouse of supposedly built on the site. Judging by the documents, it was built in less than three months, but no building is visible in the satellite images of that time.
After a short time, the “sail” resold the site.
The head of the urban settlement, in which the company Mironov Sr. got a plot, was Vladimir Volkov. This is not a stranger for the Mironov family.
When Dmitry Mironov headed the Yaroslavl region in 2017, the Varangians came after him. To the post of head of Pereslavl-Zalessky, Mironov appointed a small Lyubertsy official-the same Volkov who helped his father with a plot in Lyubertsy. Two years later, Volkov was already headed by Yaroslavl. And after Mironov in 2021 left the post of governor, Volkov left.
Partners of Mironov’s father in the “sail” are also somehow connected with the Lyubertsy authorities.
Other partnersIn addition to Mironov, Anna Babikova now owns a share in the Sail. Her husband, Yuri Babikov, is also the name of the former deputy Vladimir Volkov, when he still headed the administration of the city settlement of Kraskovo in the Lyubovsky district.
Almost 19% of Mamed Azizov, until recently, the director of the main management company Lyubertsov LGZHT. Previously, the company owned a share in the company, Lyubov Komissarenko, a companion of Alexander Ponomarenko, the head of Mosvodokanal. There was a son -in -law of Vladimir Ruzhitsky, who headed the Lyubertsy from 2005 to 2022. Now Ruzhitsky is the head of the local council of deputies.
Also, together with the wife of the former many years of the head of Lyuberts, Vladimir Ruzhitsky, Valentina, Yuri Mironov owns a 25% share in the company “Specialized Developer“ Desna ”. Other co -owners are Ekaterina Semaeva, the wife of the former colleague of Ruzhitsky in the Moscow Region Sergey Semaev, and Lyubov Komissarenko, the companion of the head of Mosvodokanal Ponomarenko.
"Desna" builds residential complexes in Lyubertsy. Now she has more than 70 hectares of land intended mainly for multi -storey residential buildings.
The General Director of Sail Dmitry Goryachev did not answer the questions of the correspondent of “important stories” and blocked him. The General Director of the Desna also ignored issues.
Bonuses
Before Putin allowed officials not to disclose information about his income - this happened in 2022, Dmitry Mironov published quite modest declarations. Prior to the transition to the presidential administration, he earned about 2-3 million rubles a year, after - about 4 million spouse appeared in the declaration in 2019, but she could not boast of high incomes.
Until 2016, the presidential adjutant owned an almost 128-meter apartment in Moscow, in the elite residential complex “Golden Klyuchi”, located in the environmental zone of the Setun reserve near the Ramenka River, in which there is even a mini zoo with lamas. In neighboring buildings are the apartments of Dmitry Medvedev and Alexei Ulyukaev .
But, apparently, Mironov was not enough for Mironov. As “important stories” found out, he took advantage of the scheme common among officials to obtain prestigious housing from the state as needy.
In May 2016, the Presnensky District Court received a statement of claim from Mironov D. Yu., In which the plaintiff claimed that he gave the state an apartment, after which, as he needed to improve housing conditions, received an official apartment from the Presidential Administration under a social hiring agreement. After that, Mironov appealed to the court and asked to recognize the agreement of the gift of the apartment by the exchange agreement and recognize the official apartment with his property. The court went to meet him. In 2017, an apartment of 128 square meters. m from the declaration of Mironov disappeared, but a new one appeared - with an area of 176 square meters. m.
Dmitry Mironov did not answer the questions of “important stories”.
