Evgeny Chichvarkin is a rather famous person in Russia, despite the fact that for many years he has lived far beyond its borders due to the scandalous accusations of the authorities.
What is Chichvarkin famous for and who is he
Evgeny Chichvarkin is one of the most successful businessmen who made his own way to success. Eugene discovered an entrepreneurial streak in his youth when he resold things on the market.
Evgeny's father worked in civil aviation, and his mother was an economist at the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations. Since the parents often traveled abroad, they brought beautiful foreign things and household items from business trips. In the Soviet Union, everyone had the same gray, and the Chichvarkins had everything with a touch of luxury. Perhaps this was the impetus for Eugene to begin to strive for a luxurious life.
On April 2, 1997, Evgeny Chichvarkin and Timur Artemiev organized Euroset. It was exactly one year after Evgeny graduated from the academy. Against the background of pot-bellied middle-aged uncles, Evgeny and Timur looked at least strange.
Young entrepreneurs almost immediately captured the market, becoming the largest cellular retailers. The Euroset was opened just at the moment when cell phones were just beginning to appear in Russia. They were in great demand, because they were not in the country at all. The network grew very quickly, and soon, even in the smallest cities, cell phone stores were already opening. The company's policy clearly showed the western model of doing business. At that time in Russia there was no such thing as stores organizing promotions and sales.
Chichvarkin went down in history as an extraordinary businessman, a businessman of a new era. He did not bother with his appearance, he was young and ambitious, he always thought outside the box. Thanks to his thinking, the network has always gone up the hill.
But Eugene decided that he could change the outlook of the people. He did not support the United Russia party, became a kind of liberal reformer and joined the Right Cause party.
It is clear that such bright people are always in sight. They lead the masses. That is why it had to be eliminated. In 2003, Andrei Vlaskin, who works as a freight forwarder for the company, was caught by the security service in regular phone theft. The guards put pressure on Vlaskin, and he, in turn. I wrote a statement to law enforcement agencies. However, the statement lasted for 5 years.
On September 2, 2008, a search was carried out at the central office of Euroset, and 20 days later Chichvarkin announced the sale of the company. The buyer was Alexander Mamut.
Chichvarkin and his family hastily left for London. Later, the Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case against him. Evgeny Chichvarkin was accused of extortion and kidnapping.
They put him on the international wanted list. The British court considered the Chichvarkin case with particular partiality. He was first released on bail and then dropped all charges.
In London, Chichvarkin and Artemyev opened the company Hedonism Drinks Ltd, which sells elite alcohol. And again success awaited them.
The first wife of Evgeny Chichvarkin
Eugene and Antonina got married when they were young. Their marriage was strong, Eugene was never noticed in any intrigues on the side. They have a joint son, Yaroslav, and a daughter, Marta. Antonina did not work, devoting all her time to her husband and children. She was with her husband in the most difficult moments: when Euroset was just emerging, and when a criminal case was opened against him.
Having moved to London with his wife and children, Chichvarkin settled in a country house, where he enjoyed working in the garden.
In 2016, the marriage of Eugene and Antonina broke up for unknown reasons, and a new lover appeared on the horizon. As the ex-head of Euroset himself said: "Between the first and second there is a small break."
Second wife - Tatiana Fokina
Eugene married a second time at 42. The event took place in the spring of 2017. Nowhere was it reported that the wedding would take place. The general public learned that the celebration took place only because of a photo posted on Instagram, where he and Tatyana were dressed in festive clothes, and the beauty was in the hands of a wedding bouquet.
His second wife has worked in a liquor store since its inception. We can say that she played an important role in the development of Chichvarkin's alcoholic business.
Tatiana Born and raised in St. Petersburg, she was educated as a philologist. In London, she worked for an entrepreneur, and then fate brought her together with Eugene, who was just recruiting a team for a new store.
Fokina helped to bring the liquor store to a good income thanks to her professional qualities. Tatiana is very persistent, neat and purposeful. She conquered all Eugene's friends with her intelligence and charm.
Now Evgeny has a daughter from his second marriage. Tatiana continues her business and runs the Open University project.
