Viktor Medvedchuk

Ukrainian based oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk may be the owner of the yacht Royal Romance.

Replacement for the 2008 Yacht Romance

SuperYachtFan thinks Royal Romance is a replacement of the 2008 CRN yacht Romance, as both yachts have the same R in their logos. After some intensive search on the Internet, SuperYachtFan found this blog, which mentions Viktor Medvedchuk as the owner of the yacht Romance. If that information is correct, than Viktor Medvedchuk is also the owner of the yacht Royal Romance. Romance was sold and is now named Royal Rubin. We think she is named after an International Grand Prix stallion and is owned by a UK owner.

Ukrainian Oligarch

Viktor Medvedchuk is an Ukrainian based oligarch and close friend of Russian President Putin. Medvedchuk is known as one of the ‘Kiev Seven’ and founder of a Kiev based law firm. The Kiev Seven are a group of very succesfull businessmen. The Kyiv Seven includes Viktor Medvedchuk, Valentyn Zhursky, Grygoriy and Ihor Surkis, Bohdan Hubsky, Yuriy Karpenko and Yuriy Liakh who died in 2004.

Kiev Seven

K7’s business background began in 1992 through offshore companies, such as Berly Management, New Port Management and Ometa 21st Century National Investment Fund, a multi-profile joint stock company. Its branches included Ometa Trust, Ometa Invest, Ometa Inster and Ometa Private. These entities turned out to have other partners, such as Bohdan Hubsky who used to be the Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Ometa Inster insurance firm with Grygoriy Surkis as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. In 1992, the group’s entities imported oil to Ukraine to sell it internally.

Slavutych Concern

In 1994, K7’s commercial entities set up Slavutych Industrial and Financial Concern, a closed joint stock company. The multi-profile company operated on the fuel, oil refining, grain, sugar, steel and other markets with Mr. Hubsky as Chairman of the Board and Grygoriy Surkis as CEO. According to some sources, more than 2,000 major clients were buying oil products supplied by Slavutych in 1998.

Dynamo Kiev

K7’s business grew and diversified. Slavutych Nafta, Slavutych Agro and Ukrainian Gas Complex CJSC began to develop individual profitable business lines, later joined by Dynamo Kyiv Football Club, headed by Grygoriy Surkis (source: Ukrainianweek.com).
