Family
"A simple Ukrainian guy" VolodymyrPalikhata is an adherent of patriarchal views on the way of life, but prefers not to advertise personal.
According to the businessman, for him the family is the main investment. He believes that investing resources in the younger generation in his family is the best thing a person can do. Vladimir Palikhata and his wife have three children. All his free time, which he does not have much, he tries to spend with them.
Almost nothing is known about the details of the businessman's personal life, but from an interview with him we can conclude that Vladimir Mironovich's wife Palikhata loves and knows how to cook. According to the businessman, he loves home meals, feasts, noisy songs. To create culinary masterpieces, a personal chef was assigned to help his wife - a person who deserves high trust from Vladimir.

It is known that Vladimir has a brother, Ivan Mironovich Palikhata, who owns (or owned) 10% of Giprokhim JSC.
All by myself
Palihata started from scratch, no one was behind him. His parents are from the village. How can they help? Vladimir is a vivid example of a person who created his own business and made himself famous without any patronage. Tenacity, tenacity, the ability to use the situation to your advantage -his core competencies. Our hero is talented and smart, far-sighted and wise.
The biography of Vladimir Palikhata is amazing and full of all sorts of events. His life is a constant balancing on a tightrope and walking on a knife edge. But he likes it, without it he can no longer live, this is his style. Maybe he should write a book, like the British billionaire Richard Branson, whose amazing story of realizing the "great dream of man" and advice to aspiring entrepreneurs rumble around the world? Memoirs from Vladimir Palikhata are likely to be very popular and can bring great commercial benefits.
Palihata did not trade in natural resources, like most oligarchs. He chose a complex industry - electrical engineering, which in Russia did not have the slightest hint of competitiveness, compared with progressive, technically sophisticated equipment and technology. One phrase "domestic engineering" evoked a bitter smile from the majority of Russians. But Palikhata made a bet on this industry. Started with her. And then he acted, basing his decisions on the conjuncture.
How it all began, or Dashing nineties
This era in the history of our country is far from ambiguous. The indecisive compatriots were swallowed up by the maelstrom of poverty, while the more resourceful compatriots were swirled by the cycle of business activity. From 1991 to 1993, Vladimir worked as a forwarding manager, holding a senior position in a trade and purchasing cooperative. He gained experience and the ability to communicate with people. Earning some moneyIn 1993, he left to trade on the stock exchange as an independent trader. Was he lucky there? Maybe yes. Since 1997, he began to engage in real business, leaving the investment activity.
Only those who have just been born have not heard about Legacy Capital. The investment group was founded by Vladimir Palikhata in 2001. Its task was to "reanimate" the problematic and undervalued assets of the countries of Europe and the CIS and their subsequent management. Vladimir had both experience and accumulated funds for the successful start of the project, as well as for the formation of the Legacy Square Capital LP fund in 2015.
Palihata Foundation has invested about a quarter of a million dollars in emergency assets. According to the representative of the organization, it is the time when any company is in debt and litigating with creditors that is ideal for "interfering" in its affairs, solving its problems and achieving its goals.
The company has been successfully operating for 15 years. The total investment amounted to about $200 million. Palikhata and his like-minded people have implemented about 15 projects not only in Russia and Ukraine, but also in Europe. Among them, for example, "Iskitim-Cement", department store "Moscow", JSC "Kontaktor" - the leading Ulyanovsk enterprise.
The Legacy management considered priority enterprises with a high share of tangible assets, which allowed them to minimize risks and ensure a stable financial flow. In particular, these are real estate, retail,industry, petrochemical production in the CIS.
Activities
The famous brainchild of Vladimir is the single concern "Rosenergomash", of which he is the president. It was created as a result of the consolidation of assets. In particular, the Kontaktor enterprise, the Ukrainian plants Yuzhelektromash - Novaya Kakhovka and Electromashina - Kharkiv became part of the concern. True, "Kontaktor" was soon bought out (they say that at a very favorable price) by the French group of companies Legrand. The transaction was carried out through Vetron N. V., the main shareholder of the industrial organization.
Today the work of Vladimir Mironovich's Palikhata structure is a little quiet. His activities at Rosenergomash, if not stopped, are gradually fading away.
King of Chess
They say that Palikhata controls dozens of enterprises, the owner of which, of course, is not him, but front men. Each time his schemes are unique. In the photo, Vladimir Palikhata always looks fresh, fit, self-confident, ready for battles and victories.
His main asset is his mind. He loves to play chess very much, which helps him in his activities. He seems to be very good at calculating moves, having a very prescient mind. Here is another interesting fact from his personal life: out of love for chess, Vladimir Palikhata became friends with the first president of Kalmykia, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. He also loves this wonderful game.
Coffee
It is known that for some time Vladimir was engaged in the coffee business. They say his activities were illegal. He organized the underground production of Nescafe coffee. For such illegal activities, Vladimir Palikhata spent about a year in a pre-trial detention center. His coffee business flourished until 2000. It so happened that the plant was discovered by law enforcement agencies. About 700,000 empty cans marked "Nescafe" and lids were found in its workshops. Investigators found that the profit from the sale of each can of counterfeit coffee was $ 1.5. Palikhata signed all the documents of this organization, held a key position, but was released from the pre-trial detention center under an amnesty. Since then, he has not signed a single document. They say that Vladimir Mironovich did not like it very much in the Palikhat pre-trial detention center.
Russian Robin Hood
In 2006, Vladimir received British citizenship (the media have such data), began to create a positive image for himself, wanting to turn into a secular person respected by all. He perfectly understood that it was necessary to be well characterized both by behavior and actions.
Since then, the biography of Vladimir Palikhata has been replenished not only with operations with business assets. He easily allocated funds for projects in the field of he alth and sports, did not deprive children of development and he alth projects of attention and money.
In particular, his concern "Rosenergomash" officially sponsors the National Olympic Committee of Russia. Impressive sums from the philanthropist receive andRhythmic Gymnastics Federation, and the Academy of Sports of Vladislav Tretiak. He also funded a children's he alth program in the Republic of Kalmykia.
Russian cinema has also repeatedly received financial support from him, for example, the annual Nika award regularly receives financial gifts from the Palikhata Foundation.
Conflict with the law
The first time Vladimir Palikhata came into conflict with the law was in 2000, when he was accused of fraud with coffee. For some time he was in custody. The case was closed quickly.
In 2010, a bribe of $15 million was demanded from Vladimir Palikhata. Operatives detained the little-known Sergei Kerimov. A series of investigations began, which led to the offices of the ICR, the prosecutor's office and other important departments.
Raiders today
Raiders were lucky in the 1990s. They caught the wave in time and made money on "special situations", restructuring, and the crisis of enterprises. Today they use the seized capital for peaceful purposes, creating funds or engaging in investment activities.
"Cheap" invaders of the beginning of the 21st century are no match for those who "worked out" in the nineties. Is the capture of an enterprise with a turnover of 10 million rubles a raid? Today, someone robs, committing fraud with apartments, someone appropriates small offices.
Real raiders are intellectuals. They are smart, they do everything quietly, imperceptibly, gracefully, as in detective stories and novels. How does Palikhata Vladimir Mironovich work? Raider - too roughdefinition for it. It doesn't do anything directly and doesn't glow anywhere. His whole life looks very dignified.
Sell Moskva
This was one of the projects in which Palikhata took part and did not hide it. The most luxurious Soviet-era store, the third after the Central Department Store and GUM, ingloriously withered after perestroika.
Since 2003 raider attacks have begun on the department store. In 2015, our hero (according to some people) sold it. Optima Development became the buyer of the company. Apparently, the fortune of Vladimir Palikhata after this transaction increased significantly, because, according to experts, the cost of the department store was about $60 million.
Who shod whom
Tsentrobuv began experiencing difficulties with on-lending - banks with state participation failed to do this, because the company had already received a series of lawsuits from creditors. Palikhata bought the company's debts, providing it with liquidity. It is rumored that for this financial assistance he received a controlling stake in Tsentrobuv, although this has not been proven. Palikhata's accession to the shareholders was not considered by the shareholders of the company.
The ubiquitous media report that all Tsentrobuv accounts have been transferred to Binbank, and the raider Vladimir Palikhata has received full access to operational management. As a result of these manipulations, he managed to save about 300 stores, which were transferred to Fashionshoes. Throughthe restart of the project will partially repay the external debt, which today is $140 million, and part of the internal debt (in the amount of about 1.6 billion rubles).
Palihata is said to be planning to build a new business empire as a legal entity.
Periodicals will come in handy
Vladimir Palikhata's biography as a publisher began in 2017, when he acquired a license to publish the Russian version of Inc magazine. The businessman also owns Our Heritage magazine, published by the charity foundation of the same name, founded in 2012.
There are rumors that he also wants to buy Forbes magazine and sent an offer to buy the publication to the head of the Russian version, Alexander Fedotov. The appraisers are still silent about the amount of the transaction for the acquisition of the journal, since it is necessary to first audit the financial condition of the publication. The media report that Vladimir was refused, despite the fact that he is ready to pay a premium in addition to the mentioned amount. Its size is about 30 million rubles, but the fortune of Vladimir Mironovich Palikhata will easily allow you to say goodbye to such money if the project is really promising and worthwhile.
Knowing his ability to achieve his goals, we can safely say that Palikhata will not give up just like that. Perhaps a huge business press publishing house under the leadership of Vladimir will soon appear. Magazine Inc. focused on small businesses, Forbes audience - large businessmen. This is a wonderful alliance.
Awards
In 2016 Palikhata Vladimir Mironovich was awarded a medalMinistry of Defense of the Russian Federation "For merits in perpetuating the memory of the fallen defenders of the Fatherland". A year later, he received the medal "In Memory of Heroes of the Fatherland".
