Full capture of the diamond monopoly, more than 50% of shares owned by the state, has been made possible also because "grown and matured" Margania protégés in the Russian government. It is about his faithful protégé - current chief of administrative Treasury Alexander Ahpolov, his deputy Andrei Glinov and the head of Assay Office Alexander Markin. Ahpolov is the curator of "ALROSA" from the government; also the trio enters the governing bodies of the company. Currently Ahpolov headed the Strategic Planning Committee of the Supervisory council «ALROSA», Glinov is included in the audit board of "ALROSA"; Markin is the chairman of "ALROSA" major "daughter" board of directors  - "Diamond World".

A striking example of input the right people in the "gold-vertical" can be considered ascension of Alexander Markin as the alternates, and then as the heads to the Assay Office at the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. Placed under the supervision of Otar Margania under the caring wing of a director of the administrative department of the Ministry of Finance Alexander Ahpolov, he was integrated into the "golden vertical". Office of the current "head of precious metals" Markin descends on the brakes all claims and verifies, that were kindled by cooperatives, who passed the ore, and later by the security forces.

   Russian Ministry of Finance expects, that about 25 tons of gold will be sold from Gokhran. This statement was made by the head of the department of the Ministry of Finance, which oversees circulation of precious metals and stones in Russia, Alexander Ahpolov. "We plan to sell, but not 40-50 tons, somewhere around 25 tons," - he said.

   According to Ahpolov, it is possible that gold will be sold on the internal market. "Maybe we will not sell in the foreign market, but how can we not sell at all, if there is a presidential decree and a sales plan, approved by order of the government?" - Said the representative of the Ministry of Finance.

Ahpolov added that the volume of gold sales is still under discussion. "We plan to sell, but not 40-50 tons, somewhere around 25 tons," - he said.

And here is another meeting of a man, whose voice resembles Kyrgyz emissary with a man, whose voice is like the voice of the head of Finance Department Alexander Ahpolov - this time, June 25, 2012, but in Simferopol. Interlocutor again requires more gold from Russia. For the needs of Hodja (devoted to conversations call between themselves a former till August 2014 Turkey Prime Minister Recep Erdogan, which now has become the head of the country). Characteristic phrases from the talk about gold in Simferopol, lined on the Web.

Emissary of the Turks:

- Hodja do not have enough.

A Russian character:

- Well, Hodja should be cool a bit... We have our Otar as our Hodja ... Volodya, Dima change, but Otar always ...

- What message?

- The needed volume of gold will be presented ... It is necessary to include other plants for more ... While Andrew is working objectively give the right ... It's all so much for you ... Tons...

     As you can see, the gold flow out of Russia is not the first and only all increases. We will try to understand where the precious metal gets in the end.

Event interrelation forces us to take a closer look at Turkey, where the flow of smuggled precious metal goes.

         Prior to the deterioration of relations with this country in the gold flows to the shores of the Bosphorus could be viewed merely as a crime.

           Recently, the character, familiar to us, seems to have been cheered up by the Turkish side, preparing for a confrontation with Russia.

         "Race" began with the fact that on 24 September 2015, Simferopol, which has already become Russian, some Turk came to a secret meeting with a man whose voice sounds like the voice of Alexander Ahpolov of the Ministry of Finance. And the voice of the Turk was similar like to peas to the voice of Osman Atalay, vice-chairman of the fund, IHH (İnsan Hak ve Hürriyetleri ve İnsani Yardım Vakfı), registered in Istanbul.

           We will inform those, who do not know about the fund, that as early as 2010, the European Jewish Congress demanded from the EU leadership to bring it to the list of terrorist organizations. Fund is under the control of certain Bilal, mentioned in the leaks of Simferopol talks with Turk (open secret - the son of the current president of the Turkish Nejmeddin Bilal Erdogan).

Ahpolov does not hide the fact that while working in the Ministry of Finance he became the owner of the property value for more than $ 5 million.

Not having worked for two years in Moscow, Ahpolov became the owner of the estate on Rubloyvka. In June 2003, the eternal official acquired three adjacent land plots (12 acres, 6 acres and 2 acres) in the village Buzaevo Odintsovo District. It is easy to calculate that the purchase of 20 acres was to be $ 800 thousand to the official. Seller (the contract is registered in the IUF 01.07.2003 for №50-01 / 20-48 / 2003-123.1) acted as Joint-Stock Company "Agricultural complex" Gorki-2 ", which belonged then and belongs now to Andrew Klinovsky - son-in-law of former Prime Minister and opposition leader Mikhail Kasyanov.

In 2011 and 2012 Alexander Ahpolov decides that it is time to officially register the numerous buildings that have already been on plots for a long time. As a result, the official Ahpolov registered a residential building area of 496.3 square meters (this is a big brick mansion, registration rights number 50-50-96 / 075 / 2011-398), a guest house with an area of 108.8 square meters (a smaller cottage, registration rights number 50-50-96 / 075 / 2011-399), as well as some non-residential premises, one floor of which - is underground (probably a bunker or storage for the money).

Looking at the real estate agency websites, you may find that now, in times of crisis, an area of 15 acres in Buzaevo with buildings like Ahpolov have, sold for about $ 4 million. An official have more land, and the houses are more interesting, accordingly, his estate is more expensive. October 19, 2012 Ahpolov becomes the owner (registration rights number 77-77-20 / 139 / 2012-350) of a flat area of 142.8 square meters (or Penthouse, or 2-level apartment) in a house on the street №7 Krasnaya Presnya, right to the next door to the White House. The cost of apartments in this luxury complex starts at $ 1.2 million, and Ahpolov housing "pull" somewhere in the $ 1.8-2 million.
