Vyacheslav Mavrodi: biography and photos

The names of Sergei and Vyacheslav Mavrodi were heard at least once not only in the CIS, but also far beyond its borders. And all thanks to the scam, which they turned, creating a financial pyramid under the notorious name "MMM." Despite the fact that this structure deceived millions of Russian people and forced them to say goodbye to their accumulated rubbles, most of the inhabitants consider one of the founders of the pyramid - Sergei - a victim of circumstances and a businessman who fell under the violence of the government, but not a fraudster.

Glory of Vyacheslav's older brother

Paradoxically, most of the victims of the MMM believe that the elder Mavrodi himself suffered from the state, which began to be afraid of his strength, popularity and the trust he was given by citizens. Once Sergei threatened the state elite that he would easily gather a popular referendum and thus solve the necessary questions. After that power structures began to accuse him of illegal business activities and incriminate him with an article about tax evasion. Many still sincerely believe that if the state did not intervene in the affairs of "MMM", its depositors would now be millionaires. People with certain professional experience consider Sergei a genius who managed to implement the first financial pyramid in Russia and forced millions of people to invest their money in it. The scale with which "MMM" has developed its activities is still amazing.

But for the sake of justice it is worth noting that all "merits" should not be attributed to Sergei alone. In the cases of "MMM" all his close relatives were involved, since he believed that it was impossible to entrust the management of billions to a stranger, no matter how reliable he seemed. In the management of "MMM" Sergei almost all relatives were involved, including his younger brother - Mavrodi Vyacheslav.

Brief information about parents

Biography of Vyacheslav Mavrodi and his legendary brother, no doubt, is of interest to many. Future entrepreneurs-schemers were born in Moscow, they are native Muscovites. Judging by the brief data that can be found to date in free access, their parents were no different from the other millions of citizens of the Soviet Union at that time.

It is known that their father, Pantelei Andreevich, was an ordinary fitter. Mother - Valentina Fedorovna - an economist. In an interview that the younger brother of Mavrodi Vyacheslav (a photo of him can be seen in our article) once gave to the prestigious publication Esquire, it is said that for a long time the family lived in a house located near the Novodevichy Convent. Over time, they moved to an elite house. Their new apartment was located on Komsomolsky Avenue, where the Malikov family and Oleg Yankovsky lived next door to them.

Now their parents are no longer alive. They both died of oncology. Valentina Fyodorovna died in 1986 - she was diagnosed with liver cancer. A few years earlier, his father had also left - in 1980 he died of lung cancer.

Attraction to the family business and work in the "MMM"

The original idea to create the infamous financial structure of "MMM" came to the mind of his older brother Sergei. Managing multimillion-dollar capitals, he was able to entrust only to the closest people. So Vyacheslav Mavrodi in the structure created by his brother, becomes vice-president and chief accountant. He actively helps to increase the capital of his blood relative. In addition to working for MMM, Vyacheslav embodies several quite successful commercial projects.

Vyacheslav's active work after the closure of the pyramid

After the financial pyramid seriously became interested in the tax inspection and the activity of the brothers was suspended, millions of depositors were at a loss and did not quite understand that this was the end, and they would not see their money. Vyacheslav Mavrodi, photo is in our article, I did not give in to panic. On the contrary, on the ruins of "MMM" he creates a new pyramid, the essence of which was voluntary donations. In 1996, there were a lot of depositors who also incurred their money there. A year later, this system was already actively functioning in the virtual space. Now invest in the new pyramid could be through the Internet, which added to Vyacheslav Mavrodi depositors around the world.

Presentation of the first official charges

All the ideological work to promote the new financial system Vyacheslav led almost from the underground. At this time, he was actively interrogated about the activities of the already covered "MMM", and the Russian UBEP was seriously interested in the activities of the new system of voluntary donations. In 1998, UBEP officers searched the office of Vyacheslav and seized from him gold bars, the legitimacy of which was questioned by law enforcement agencies. The questions also arose about the source of funds that allowed Vyacheslav to buy 21 ingots weighing 5 g each.

Mavrodi Jr. chose not to answer these questions, and as a result, in 1999 a criminal case was brought against him. Vyacheslav went underground ...

He periodically changed the rented Moscow apartments, left them extremely rarely and only accompanied by guards. Specially hired people provided him with food and everything necessary. With the outside world, Vyacheslav actively communicated via the Internet, and his loneliness was brightened by a friend, because of which, in fact, Vyacheslav Mavrodi was found by law enforcement agencies.

Marina - the wife of the younger Mavrodi

The fact that finding a fugitive was helped by the carelessness of a certain girl who brightened up his loneliness may at first seem strange. After all, he was officially married to Marina Muravyova. Vyacheslav Mavrodi was with her in an official marriage. It is worth noting that Marina in "MMM" was an accountant, and there are rumors that she took an active part in the activity of the pyramid. But before meeting with Vyacheslav, the woman was in close relationship with the famous singer - O. Gazmanov. Despite the fact that in this strange marriage at first glance, a common child was born (Philip's son, born in 1997), the relationship between the spouses was hardly sincere. Mavrodi Vyacheslav and his wife Marina (photos of which together can not be found freely available) broke up right after the arrest of Vyacheslav.

Arrest and serving time

In 2001, the younger Mavrodi was taken into custody. In 2003, the court issued its decision. Vyacheslav was found guilty of conducting illegal banking activities and turnover with precious metals. The sentence was as follows: confiscation of property and imprisonment for 5 years and 3 months. Vyacheslav served his sentence in IK No. 5, located near Samara. He spent his time in prison completely. There were no complaints about his behavior at the administration of the IC. Like all the other prisoners in this institution, he worked on the production of pasta. His behavior was exemplary, but the opportunity to go free on UDO Mavrodi for not clear reasons did not use.

Unofficial view of serving time

One day the lawyer of Mavrodi Sr. expressed his opinion that in fact Vyacheslav was serving a full term, because the Service for the Execution of Punishments constantly refused to submit documents for consideration of the release of the UDO under various fictitious pretexts. It is said that someone from above did not want Mavrodi to come out ahead of schedule. In any case, as it was in fact, the broad masses will most likely never find out.

Divorce with his wife and her care with her son to a famous singer

After the conclusion of Vyacheslav, his wife almost immediately began to appear in the company of Oleg Gazmanov. Their romance began even before Marina met Mavrodi, but at that time the singer was married to another woman and did not dare leave it. After Muravyova received an offer to marry a well-known entrepreneur, she did not think long and accepted him. There is gossip that even after the wedding, she did not stop meeting with the singer. When the official husband was imprisoned, she began to appear, accompanied by Gazmanov, at secular events already in the open. This time, Oleg did not miss the opportunity, divorced his previous wife and made an offer to Marina. At the moment they are officially painted, and Philip, the son of Marina from the previous marriage, Gazmanov has been raising her for many years.

Exemption from imprisonment

Vyacheslav was released in 2006. At the prison he was met by a jeep, which took Mavrodi to meet a new life at large. Under the walls of the colony, he was met by many journalists, whom he refused to communicate with. Vyacheslav only said that he does not have the slightest idea of where he will go and what he will do next. Now nothing is known about the activities of Mavrodi Jr.. In no loud scandals and scams to date, he was not seen.
