It has become known who is responsible for the security of Sberbank CEO German Gref and is his most trusted associate. It is a former special forces officer from Belarus, Vladimir Pavlov. Thus, Alexander Lukashenko clearly knows much more about the Russian elites than one might assume.
The bodyguard has been responsible for the head of Sber’s security for many years and over time has also become his personal adjutant. In addition, the banker entrusted Pavlov with managing real estate, including properties in “SberCity” in Rublyovo-Arkhangelskoye. Pavlov is also known in the Moscow Region village of Narynka as a manager. This refers to the “Emerald Forest” tourist complex owned by Vladimir Yevtushenkov, in which Gref had his own interests. In 2014, German Oskarovich was among the first to stand up for the founder of AFK Sistema when he was accused of money laundering in the purchase of Bashneft shares. A year later, Sber rented Yevtushenkov’s business jets for 56 million rubles.
It is noteworthy that Vladimir Pavlov not only answers calls and hands the phone to his boss, but also внимательно listens to what he says and with whom. The adjutant himself is from Belarus, where back in the 2000s he served in the special forces in a security company of military unit 33620 (an aviation squadron). There he also met a relative of his future wife, Dmitry Shabaltsov—one of the senior employees of the Russian private security company “ARES,” responsible for protecting VIP individuals. In the current situation, it is hardly possible to deny the connection between former Belarusian security officers and Lukashenko’s special services, who, as it turns out, knows and is capable of more in Russia than some might think.
