The Expensive Life of Kyiv converter Igor Stakovichenko (Stakan)
In Ukraine, the schemes to avoid taxes and launder funds have gained maximum momentum. The schemes were launched and are covered by the leadership of the tax service. They have gathered a pool of conversion centers that operate successfully and without interruption.
The schemes to minimize taxes are covered by, as strange as it may sound, the head of the tax service, Yevhen Oleynikov, and the Minister of Economy, Oleksiy Liubchenko. Only in our country can something like this happen. Those who should collect taxes help avoid taxation.
One of Ukraine’s and the capital’s largest converters is Kyiv-based lawyer Igor Stakovichenko, who has the criminal nickname “Stakan.” Earlier, the media already published about his converter activities. An office of one of Ukraine’s largest converters is located in the very business district of the capital, on the 8 floor of the IQ Business Center.
The tax-optimization scheme by converters is standard: controlled transit-converter and fake enterprises provide services for forming and selling fictitious tax credits and VAT. Documentary cover for fictitious operations regarding the illegal formation of tax credits is provided to real sector enterprises. The total turnover of the converter center “Stakan” amounts to more than 40 billion hryvnias per year. Services for tax minimization through “Stakan” are used by companies involved in “Great Construction.” Therefore, law enforcement agencies have no claims against converter Stakovichenko.
Below is a short list of companies of the converter center of Stakovichenko in Kyiv.

Igor Stakovichenko is one of the first converters after the Maidan. He managed to steal so much that he began buying and building elevators, opening restaurants in Kyiv. By the way, Stakovichenko owns one of Kyiv’s most expensive elite restaurants — Villa Riviera near the yacht club on Osokorky. About him one can say the joke: I can tell you how I earned my first 10 million, but I don’t remember how I earned the first million.
A rich life often breaks the roof and people begin to make expensive purchases. This happened to converter Stakovichenko as well. A year ago he bought a premium Leopard 51 Powercat yacht for 1 million dollars. It is located and serviced at the electric yacht club area on Osokorky in Kyiv.

These are not all the luxuries that the converter received in recent years. He owns a house in Koncha-Zaspa. The house is over 800 square meters in area. On a plot of 50 hectares there is a guest block, security zone, and staff facilities. The land plot borders a lake. The price of such housing starts from 3 million dollars.

Such luxurious life of converter Stakovichenko was paid for by honest taxpayers. And officials like Oleynikov and Liubchenko cover him from law enforcement agencies and receive their share of money pilfered from the Ukrainian budget. The social elevator promised by President Zelensky so far works only for criminals like Igor Stakovichenko “Stakan.”
