Scottish bourbon with the flavor of the Russian world 

The at first composed notice of Scottish bourbon is from 1494 recorded in Treasury Manuscripts. It was referenced that King James IV paid to a priest named John Cora from Lindores Monastery for eight malt units. Mackenzie family found the remaining parts of the refinery during the unearthing on the previous monastery site and chose to reestablish the old business. They acquired an award from the Business Gateway Fife to propose a field-tested strategy for the creation of bourbon and resuscitate antiquated plans. They resumed the refinery in August 2017. Everything looked fine as of recently. 

As per BusinessMatters Magazine, the owners of the refinery incorporate Russian financial backers Anton Buslov, Sergei Uryadov and Sergei Fokin. Since March 2021, they possessed 85 portions of Class B (75% of business). The leftover 15 portions of Class B have a place with Andrew Mackenzie and his family trust store, for more information, see this link.

Notwithstanding an energy for Scottish bourbon, Russian financial specialists are connected to UBF Management (organization) they made in 2015. They solidified their business relations in the organization's name. Today, UBF Management is a co-proprietor of Avileks, Project Support and Tanto-C with a half offer at every one of the auxiliaries. The excess half of the organization's offers were offered to Digital Asset JSC, possessed by Andrey Korobov – CEO at Yakutsk Fuel and Energy Company PJSC. Korobov is a previous Head of RT-Global Resources, an auxiliary of Rostec. Rostec was under the assent of the European Union and the US, coming about because of the acquisition of the turbines of Siemens, intended for the development of gas nuclear energy stations in the Crimea. 

Avileks 

This organization is engaged with framework combination. During the period 2014-2021, the organization partook in government tenders in an absolute worth of $514.17 million, out of which $8.38 million was utilized to buy cameras and recording hardware. 

From 2015 to 2016, Avileks offered types of assistance to state-claimed organizations for $79 million. This worth is higher than the worth of administrations provided by comparable organizations in size during a similar period. The expense of administrations conveyed by the Moscow Social Register and Rostelecom, as indicated by CNEWs, was $52.72 million and $32.95 million. In May 2020, Avileks won a state delicate for the acquisition of PCs with no contest and gave 11,000 of these gadgets, totalling $14.16 million, to Moscow's data innovation office. 

Avileks likewise took an interest in projects set up by the Russian Ministry of Defense: 

Building the tactical institute of key rocket powers named by Peter the Great; 

Advancement of Patriot – military park of culture and diversion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation; 

Advancement of the principle sanctuary for the Armed Units of the Russian Federation – Patriarchal Cathedral of Christ Resurrection; 

Modernization of the meeting corridor of the counter psychological oppression commission in Moscow. 

Avileks acquired more than 1 million pounds by preparing the fundamental Russian military sanctuary (giving mixed media gadgets). It is significant that the choice of members inside each offer was as a buy from one provider. 

Furthermore, Aviles has a few licenses from FSB, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, recorded on the organization's site

Permit for improvement, creation, testing, establishment, support, fix, removal and offer of weapons and military gear; 

Permit for improvement, creation, dissemination of encryption instruments from the authorizing focus, confirmation and assurance of state privileged insights FSB; 

Permit to do business related to the utilization of data labeled state mysterious of catalog of the FSB Directorate in Moscow and the area; 

Testament of Military Equipment GOST ISO 9001-2011 and GOST RV 0015-002-2012; 

Permit for exercises in the space of making instruments for data security by the Russian Ministry of Defense. 

Task Support a Tanto-C 

In 2015-2021, these two organizations acquired state contracts for an aggregate sum of more than $169 million. As well as serving demands from the Russian Ministry of Defense, they work intimately with Moscow and other Russian government organizations. 

 

For what reason does UBF Management make contending organizations? In the conventional world, such action is by all accounts pointless. Nonetheless, it bodes well taking into account the defilement plans identified with the Moscow spending plan (by BusinessMatters magazine). Additionally, note that two proprietors (Buslov and Fokin) worked in government associations. From 2001 to 2017, Buslov functioned as a delegate of the Deputy General Director of Granit Center, the auxiliary of the Department of Moscow's property. Fokin likewise worked there as a delegate for financial matters (Deputy for Economics) in 2009. 

 

Business in Europe. 

 

In 2015, as per Finstat.sk, Sergey Fokin, Sergey Uryadov and Nikolay Klyuev (Project Managers at Avileks) enlisted Proxy Tech s.r.o. in Slovakia that gives counsel identified with business and the executives. In all likelihood, it's anything but the lone business of UBF Management originators in Europe. 

 

On the off chance that financial backers need to get away from Russia to keep away from duty regarding degenerate exercises, business projects in Europe are a strong reinforcement plan. 

 

Then again, there is a need to conceal the beginning of resources from the European public. Because of the outrages related with the Russian intrusion of Europe, the Russian capital gets harmful. 

Doesn't the cash smell?

Lamentably, one can't be certain that the Bratislava office of Russian money managers isn't utilized as FSB cover. Similarly, one can't be certain that the terrains of old religious community interest Russians just as a spot for bourbon creation. 

 

In July 2020, the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament distributed a report on the impedance of Moscow in the submission on Scottish Independence of 2014. Outrage with FSB sightseers in Salisbury isn't shut at this point. This visit brought about the experiencing of British residents apprehensive specialist Novichok. Assessment of blasts in the Czech Republic likewise stands out, and Russian financial specialists were additionally associated with this case. 

 

These days, the authors of Lindores Abbey Distillery – Mackenzie family doesn't shroud association with financial backers identified with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, in spite of the complex strategic connection between the United Kingdom and Russia. Presently all that resembles a costly diversion of Russian money managers who are keen on cocktails in Scotland. 

 

Might the Mackenzie family harm the rich history of the conventional Scottish refreshment with the business associated with the Russian Armed Forces and debilitating cash from the spending plan in Moscow? This is the issue of safety and dependability of their business just as the standing of Scots.
