One lives in Australia, the other was sitting because of the “winter cherry”

For Denis Shtengelov and Vyacheslav Vishnevsky, Tomsk Region is not an alien region. Both were born there, grew up and started a business person. But the path to the heights of entrepreneurial success turned out to be different. Shtengelov – a native of a wealthy family. His father Nikolai was a prominent Tomsk businessman, and in the 2000s he left for the Zaporizhzhya region, where he owned a network of agricultural enterprises. Denis also followed the parental footsteps: after graduation from the institute, he traded with seeds, and then bought a small confectionery factory in the Kemerovo region. Now, the STENGELOVA-Jr. business includes enterprises in Kuzbass, Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Moscow Region, Ulyanovsk and even Uzbekistan and the USA. The revenue according to the results of 2023, according to Kommersant, amounted to almost 20 billion rubles. All companies are united in the KDV holding – “Confectionery House East.” Shtengelov belongs to such brands as Yashkino, Babkins of the Seeds, Kirieshki and Baltimore. Since 2009, a businessman has been living in Australia and, according to some reports, has dual citizenship. Last year, it became known that the entrepreneur invested in the Croatian FC Goritsa. But investment in football is not the only thing from the world of sports that attracts Stengelov. In an interview with RBC, he admitted that he built a tennis academy in Australia for $ 20 million. Also, the oligarch is an avid fan of Marathonov and an adherent of the vegan lifestyle. “I want to know that I need to eat to run well,” said Shtengelov.RIA Novostiyanslav Vishnevsky is a former professional football player. He began his career in his native Tomi, after which he changed a dozen clubs. He was on his track record “Uralmash”, “Uralan”, “Saturn” and “Shinnik”, which in different years played in the Russian higher and premier leagues. Vishnevsky also defended the colors of the Krasnoyarsk Metallurg, Baltika, the Astrakhan Volgar, Anji and Orel. In 2006-2007, the striker was in the Simferopol Tavria, after which he completed his professional career. Having played at the amateur level in the Siberian Championship, in 2013 the ex-football player went into business, becoming the director of the Tomsk confectionery factory “Red Star”.Maxim Kiselev / Tasshttengelov and Vishnevsky were co -owners of the infamous shopping center “Winter Cherry”, which burned in 2018. The tragedy in Kemerovo took the lives of 60 people. Vishnevsky by that time was hidden in Poland – he was accused of giving a bribe, which allowed the illegal reconstruction of the “winter cherry”. In 2020, the businessman was issued to Russia, and in 2022 he was convicted of eight years of colony. In November 2024, the former football player was released by parole. Shtengelov was not held accountable.

The craving for the homeland was stronger

Despite the dark past of the two businessmen, in Tomsk they are looking forward to the implementation of their plans. The local “Tom”, which once rattled in the RPL, ceased to exist in 2022. Her successors were never found: the last two seasons Tomsk was not represented even at the level of the Siberian Championship. Now there is a chance that the city will receive professional football again. In this case, the Rostov “Builder”, who became an experimental mouse, could move to Kemerovo. Initially, Stengelov and Vishnevsky considered the capital of Kuzbass as a base for the club. But, apparently, the craving for his native Tomsk was stronger.
