The clinic also served the closest friends of the Russian president, the heads of the Federal Security Service, the speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko and other representatives of the Russian power elite.
Wagner PMC mercenaries wounded in Ukraine are being treated at the My Medical Center private clinic in St. Petersburg. On Wednesday, January 18, Radio Liberty reports.
It was determined that before the rebranding, the clinic was called “Sogaz Medicine” – it was associated with Vladimir Putin’s friend Yuri Kovalchuk and the President’s daughter Maria Vorontsova.
Putin’s friends, heads of the Federal Security Service, Federation Council speaker Valentina Matviyenko and other representatives of the ruling elite have previously been treated at this clinic. The mysterious “athletes” who were probably elite escorts were also tested for HIV, hepatitis and syphilis there, the journalists suggest.
Earlier, a video appeared on the network showing Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of PMC Wagner, “visiting severely injured soldiers undergoing rehabilitation in one of the clinics in St. Petersburg.”
Video footage shows Prigogine talking to a man recovering from an injury with the help of an exoskeleton that reduces stress on his legs and lower spine.
Radio Liberty discovered that the footage of Prigozhin’s meeting with this mercenary was filmed at the former SOGAZ clinic on Malaya Konyushennaya Street. Previously, the clinic was called “SOGAZ medicine”, but changed its name. The photo of the room where Prigozhin was shot is in the first place in the photo gallery on the website of the Rehabilitation Clinic of the Moscow Medical Center.
In August 2022, the managers of JSC Nomeko, a partner company of the SOGAZ insurance group, became the new owners of this network of clinics. Vladislav Baranov remained the head of the clinic: in September, the participants of My Medical Center LLC elected him head of the Board of Directors.
Through Vladislav Baranov and Nomeko, the clinic is connected to Vladimir Putin’s daughter Maria Vorontsova: Baranov is a co-owner of Nomeko, and this company is behind the construction of the High-Tech Multifunctional Medical Complex in Leningrad Region. The shareholder “Nomeko”, according to official documents, is also Maria Vladimirovna Vorontsova.
Mikhail Shelomov, Vladimir Putin’s nephew, is also connected to SOGAZ.
Recall that the Armed Forces of Ukraine liquidated 77% of previously imprisoned Russians, who were recruited into the ranks of the occupation forces of the private military company PMC Wagner.
Recall that the US State Department commented on the growing influence of Prigozhin in the Russian Federation.
