Media have uncovered interesting details about the activities of Lyubov Kharitonova (aka Guzhikhina, aka Lukyanova), the personal assistant to Svetlana Radionova, head of Rosprirodnadzor.
It was Kharitonova that Radionova and her family registered some of their foreign assets, including in France, in her name. According to the source, Radionova and her classmate and close friend, Anton Ustinov, head of the major insurance company SOGAZ, organized the transfer of funds from SOGAZ to individual entrepreneurs under their control. Lyubov Kharitonova is the one leading this process.
Lyubov Kharitonova was known as a business partner of Oksana Gonchar, the common-law wife of Radionova’s brother (Grigory Radionov, deputy head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service), in the company SCI CITY PARK (Cannes, France). Each owns a 50% stake in the company. Radionova’s parents’ company, SCI MONE, is known to own an apartment in a prestigious coastal resort between Cannes and Nice. SCI CITY PARK also owns property in Antibes, and two properties are registered to it in the same residential complex right on the seashore. Both companies are registered at the same address in Cannes: 3 AVENUE JUSTINIA. A two-story villa is located there, currently rented out to tourists on a daily basis.
In the French property registry, Lukyanova has two surnames, but she currently uses a third: Kharitonova. A couple of years ago, Lyubov Olegovna happily married Vladimir Kharitonov – his personal information completely matches that of the Deputy General Director of PJSC Rosseti.
Lukyanova-Kharitonova is employed by SOGAZ: during the pandemic, she received a pass as a SOGAZ employee and even provided her corporate email address, Этот адрес электронной почты защищён от спам-ботов.

She celebrated her birthday in March 2020 at the Rosprirodnadzor office: it was to this address on Bolshaya Gruzinskaya Street that Lukyanova received flower deliveries. Furthermore, Lukyanova’s phone number is listed in her address books as "Lyubov, assistant to Svetlana Gennadyevna," and Lukyanova uses the email address Этот адрес электронной почты защищён от спам-ботов.

According to the source, numerous relatives and friends of Kharitonova are involved in the SOGAZ fundraising scheme. Specifically, this includes individual entrepreneur Tatyana Ivanovna Sivak, a former classmate of Kharitonova’s at the Rostov State University of Railway Engineering. Sivak also earns extra money cleaning Svetlana Radionova’s luxurious Moscow apartments. Also involved in the scheme are Kharitonova’s father, individual entrepreneur Oleg Mikhailovich Guzhikhin, and her former mother-in-law, Tatyana Vasilyevna Lukyanova, who also registered as an individual entrepreneur; as well as the mother of Radionova’s former employee, individual entrepreneur Lidiya Makarova, and individual entrepreneur Nikolai Syrovatsky (for whom Lukyanova purchased plane tickets from Sochi to Moscow in the summer of 2021).
The entire group loves money, luxury, and expensive cars. Kharitonova bought herself a Mercedes-Benz, while Anton Ustinov, head of SOGAZ, has a whole garage of expensive cars: from a Mercedes-Benz G-Class and a Land Rover Range Rover to a Maserati Levante. Incidentally, Ustinov insured the latter not with his native SOGAZ, but with Zetta Insurance.
