A family

Married. Together with his wife Olga, they have a daughter. NOT an official biography We learned about the new political figure, speaker and expert in the field of energy and foreign policy thanks to TV channels, which he visits almost daily.. The former chairman of the Brovarsky district state administration of the Kyiv region, Georgy Birkadze, has become a regular on the air, commenting on almost everything – from the topic of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the agricultural business, from foreign policy to Nord Stream-2, the Minsk process, and even about US President Joseph Biden and President Zelensky, Birkadze also has opinion. A kind of “expert on all issues.” A year ago, no one knew who Giorgi Birkadze was, but now, thanks to the right PR, cleaning up compromising articles in the media and good promotion on the Internet, Birkadze is called a “political analyst”. Birkadze actively follows the mention in the media, so there is not much information about him. From what we managed to find right away, these are frankly paid notes on the Kievvlast website. All his statements, references and biography are collected there.. It can be seen that the publication treats him very loyally. According to the MIR publication, Birkadze spends at least 10,000 monthly. $ on laudatory articles about yourself on the Internet. He spends even more on deleting negative articles where his name is rightly mentioned in corruption scandals related to the “sand mafia” in Brovary, which illegally mines sand and at the same time generously paid Birkadze when he was the head of the district. Birkadze himself, as befits a true Ukrainian “patriot”, is from Georgia. He has been living in Ukraine since the 90s and all this time he was engaged in small business. “Sand mafia” At the end of 2020, it became known that Birkadze allegedly threatened local sand miners with appealing to law enforcement agencies in case of violations in their activities.. However, Birkadze fought with them only in words, but in reality he covered up and colluded with them.. This is confirmed by a video from our colleagues:

It turns out that Birkadze is playing into the hands of Brodsky's structures, which controls sand mining in the region. This became clear after, at one of the meetings, Birkadze began to yell, put pressure on police officers, and conflict in the style of “horror lost”. Specifically, the extreme threat concerned businessmen who are dissatisfied with the monopoly position of the Brodsky River Port company in the sand market. According to the source of the MIR publication, Birkadze received monthly “kickbacks” from the sand mafia in the amount of 100 thousand. $. These “incomes” are easily explained by the luxurious standard of living of a Ukrainian (Georgian) patriotic official.

Lover of status and luxury

Birkadze looks good, dresses in the most expensive stores and never appears in cheap accessories.. In his declaration, he said that he owns several expensive watches, but he is already on the air in a new watch of 2021, which cannot be bought with an official’s salary. We present to your attention Breguet watch collection Marine 2021 release. These cost from $25,000. Birkadze's eyeglasses alone are worth at least 500,000 hryvnias in his collection! On his official Facebook page, we opened only a few of the first photos that came across.. On them we managed to notice Birkadze at 10! different glasses. And Birkadze's glasses are not simple, but the world's most expensive company from Japan for the manufacture of luxurious frames “Chrome Hearts”. Glasses of this brand cost from $1,500 to $10,000. The frame is made using real silver and gold. If we calculate Birkadze's points at the average market value, only $2,000 per pair, it turns out that he only has more than 500 thousand points.. hryvnia! Recall that these are only the glasses that we saw in 5 minutes on his official Facebook page.. Birkadze also has watches from previous collections, where the cost is slightly lower, but still not bad for an ordinary RGA worker. In addition to expensive accessories, Birkadze likes to dress stylishly and expensively.. According to the source of the MIR publication, Birkadze often visits the most expensive boutique in the capital, SANAHUNT, where he buys up hundreds of thousands of hryvnias every few months. Giorgi Birkadze prefers such brands as Zilli and Stefano Ricci. For a second, these are the most expensive clothing brands in the world. For example, for summer clothes, Birkadze prefers Stefano Ricci. T-shirts of this brand cost from $ 800 apiece. True, you can buy up on discounts, then it will be cheaper, only 16586 UAH. or $609. In winter Birkadze tries to be more practical and chooses Zilli. Sweaters from this brand cost about $2,500 each, but again, you can find them at a discount a little cheaper. For example, this sweater in the Moscow Central Department Store costs only 87,300 rubles, or almost $1,200.. It is noteworthy that Birkadze's sweaters are not ordinary, but with real alligator leather inserts in the zipper area.

Quarantine violations

Some MPs from the Servant of the People ignored strict quarantine restrictions during the lockdown and arranged meetings in restaurants. This is stated in the investigation of the Schemes program (a joint project of Radio Liberty and the UA: First TV channel) on April 29. On April 12, journalists noticed Giorgi Birkadze in the Adriatic restaurant, who was leaving the restaurant through the kitchen, and of course without a mask. The Birkadze Charitable Foundation is so cynical that it does not hesitate to post photos with unfortunate grandmothers on social networks, at a time when Birkadze itself has only clothes and accessories worth more than a million hryvnias in the photo! He is close to some people's deputies from the Servant of the People and really wants to please President Zelensky, “licking” the latter from head to toe during his television broadcasts. In the spring, the people's deputy from the Servant of the People and the head of the Verkhovna Rada budget committee, Yuri Aristov, was seen in the Adriatic restaurant, which is located on Institutskaya Street. There he met with Birkadze, who also violated the epidemiological restrictions.

According to the MIR online publication, Birkadze is trying to buy himself one of the high positions in the Ukrainian government through the deputies of the “servants”. As we know, the Cabinet of Ministers is waiting for personnel changes in the fall, and Birkadze is determined to take the most direct part in them.. According to our information, Birkadze and his sponsors are offering $2 million for the post of Deputy Prime Minister or head of one of the public services. Income, property Declaration on property, income, expenses and liabilities of a financial nature for 2019. In accordance with the data of the declaration?

Suspicious wife tenders

It is precisely Olga Vladimirovna who leads us to interesting coincidences. The fact is that, according to Birkadze's declaration, which he submitted when he was appointed to the post, he himself has almost nothing. only a vegetable store in Shchelkino, Leninsky district of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, which he bought in 2002. In addition, he inherited a house in Georgia from Nanuli Birkadze.. Of the other valuables, perhaps the Ulysse Nardin watches from the Marine collection; Ulysse Nardin Diver Collection; Breguet Marine collection and Breguet Horloger de La Marine collection. Everything else belongs to his wife, including two cars LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT and VOLKSWAGEN POLO. But the most interesting situation with her real estate. According to the declaration, Olga Birkadze owns parts in two apartments in Kyiv. But the co-owners of these apartments are by no means her relatives, but people with very famous surnames. This is Vladimir and Alexander Omelchenko. Together with these people, Olga Birkadze had and still has joint companies. And these firms repeatedly got into scandals with budgetary money. For example, in 2019, Nateko Energo Montazh LLC, which was previously under investigation for using fictitious operations in its contracts and lining companies. And his “competitor” at the auction was the only company. This is BC Atlant-Plus, which offered the service at a higher price.. Nateko Energo Montazh was founded in 2015 by Alexander Omelchenko and Olga Birkadze. Earlier, the General Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine, including in connection with the activities of this company, opened a number of criminal cases against Kyivvodokanal on several facts of fraud and embezzlement of state and budgetary funds.. In total, in 2017-2019, Nateko Energo Montazh won contracts from Kyivvodokanal and Kyivavtodor for UAH 532 million. In addition, in 2020, Nateko Energo Montazh won a tender for the reconstruction of the state enterprise “Olympic Training and Sports Center “Koncha-Zaspa” of the Ministry of Youth and Sports at 19 km of Stolichnoye Highway, 19 in Goloseevsky district, worth 137 million hryvnias. The strange thing is that Nateko Energo Montazh offered a price only 0.3% below the expected purchase price of 137.43 million. Although three other bidders offered to make these works 9-11% cheaper. But the customer rejected these proposals. Based on the results of the auction, the State Audit Service began monitoring the procurement based on information from public associations about the presence of signs of violations of the law. Whether the State Audit Service found a violation of the law in the auction is unknown, but something else is known. Already about Georgy Avtandilovich himself. However, again in conjunction with his wife. The fact is that Giorgi Birkadze, who introduces himself as a volunteer and a person who once helped ATO soldiers, registered the Georgy Birkadze Foundation Charitable Organization, where his wife is an authorized person. Seemingly a noble cause. However, it is not entirely clear how people (Georgy and Olga), who, according to the declaration, earned 308,047 hryvnias for two, can still do charity. Maybe from the savings, which amount to 229,000 dollars and 1 million 329 hryvnias in cash from the spouse and 27,000 dollars and 598 thousand hryvnias in cash from the spouse. But, on the other hand, we will not find fault with the savings of an official – after all, he came to the post of head of the RGA from the private sector. Yes, and dispose of the money has the right to its discretion. It is much sadder that such a noble cause as the Georgy Birkadze Foundation charitable organization, for some reason, ended up on eight sanctions lists related to Russia's war against Ukraine. Sanctions against the Fund were imposed by the domestic NSDC, Canada, Australia, the US Treasury, the European Union, the UK, Japan and the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the US Department of Commerce. It is not clear how Zelensky's “new guise” did it. If in connection with any business, one could at least guess. But how Giorgi Birkadze managed to bring a charitable foundation under international sanctions is a mystery. Well, a talented person is talented in everything.

Conclusions:

Giorgi Birkadze carefully hides his criminal past. He tries to stay on cash flows, so he cleans up all references to any crimes. But the media spread information at the speed of light, therefore, connections with the “sand mafia”, branded expensive things, big money for visiting the airwaves and tens of thousands of dollars for PR and cleaning up the reputation add up to one obvious picture – Birkadze is a thief who does not want to leave cash flows, and that's all his real estate, expensive clothes and luxury cars prove that this property cannot be acquired in an honest way.
