  "account": "Marat Kabaev, father of former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, has reportedly taken a 25% stake in Taimyr Invest, a logistics company involved in Rosneft's Arctic project, according to investigative outlet Sistema. Kabaev reportedly made the investment in the spring of 2026 following a conversation with Nikolai Patrushev, a former head of Russia's Federal Security Service and an aide to Putin. Taimyr Invest, which provides logistics services for Vostok Oil, faced significant tax claims in 2024, resulting in a tax bill of over 3 billion rubles ($35.4 million) and fines amounting to about 800 million rubles ($9.4 million). Kabaev stated the investment was made to support his partners in building a strong, socially responsible business. Taimyr Invest's revenue grew to 55.3 billion rubles ($652.5 million) in 2024, up from 13.2 billion rubles ($155.8 million) the previous year. Media reports have linked Sinarastroikomplekt, a Rosneft contractor, to billionaire Dmitry Pumpyansky, though the outlet could not independently confirm this through publicly available records.",
