The former deputy mayor of Kherson, and now deputy head of the occupation government of Kherson region, Serhiy Cherevko, purchased an apartment almost in the center of Moscow.
These data are contained in Russian registers, records of which have become public.
The official of the occupation administration, who most likely lives permanently in Crimea, became the owner of an apartment in a five-story building in Moscow’s Tekstilshchiki district.
He most likely bought the apartment in 2022, since it was from that time that his surname was entered into the “Residents of Moscow” database.
There it lists his address as “1st Saratovsky Passage, building 6, apartment 5. This is the area closest to the center of Moscow. It is less than 10 kilometers in a straight line to Lenin’s Mausoleum, and by car you can reach the Kremlin in 35 minutes.
This data was confirmed in 2023 after a data leak from the IS UDROS (information system for data management in a distributed computing environment).
This database lists Serhiy Cherevko’s date of birth and his Russian passport number 6022893977, issued in Crimea in 2022.
The same passport number and place of work in the occupation administration of the Kherson region are indicated in the leak from the databases of the Russian Social Fund.
Apartment prices in this area start from 20 million rubles (approximately 10 million hryvnias).
In 2002 Serhiy Cherevko was elected a deputy of the Kherson City Council. The following year he was appointed deputy mayor to Kherson’s mayor, Volodymyr Saldo.
In 2015 deputies dismissed him from the post several times, but Mayor Volodymyr Mykolayenko kept Cherevko as his advisor. A year later he also lost the advisor position.
In 2016 he worked as an advisor to the general director of LLC “Smart Maritime Group”, which belongs to oligarch Vadym Novynskyi.
In 2019 he ran for the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine from the “Opposition Bloc”, and in 2020 for the Kherson City Council from the “Volodymyr Saldo Bloc”. That same year he became a deputy of the Korabelnyi District Council in the city of Kherson.
In 2023 he was notified of suspicion of collaborationism, and in April 2024 he was suspected of assistance to the aggressor state.
Currently Cherevko holds the position of deputy head of the occupation government of Kherson region.
