  Dossier:

  In 2002 a big scandal broke out around the attempted  seizure of Nizhegorodsky Oils and Fats Plant. In October 2002 a special plane flew from Perm to Nizhny Novgorod. Passengers of  the charter flight were bailiffs and a group of armed men. They went directly to a company-registrar of NOFP,  produced a bench-warrant issued by the court of Penza city  and seized registry of NOFP. Then they  boarded the plane and departed  in an unknown direction. Later it transpired that the court decision  was made at the suit of a minority shareholder, which owned just 0.003% of the shares.

 A few days later a new registrar showed up. It was a resident of  St. Petersburg  who said that from now he would keep the registry. Then  a certain company  declared itself  owner of NOFP's controlling stake and demanded transfer of control.

 Later it became known that Moscow businessman Pavel Svirsky was involved in the fraud. Posing as vice-president of Rinaco  he came to the plant and said '' You have problems with the shares, don't you? Just sell ​​me 30 percent, and I will help you to return the rest''.
''I was really taken aback as his  proposal was the height of impudence'', Nesterov said. ''And when I said that we would catch the crooks and put them  in jail, Svirsky responded'' Well, you know our judicial system. Money solves everything. The case can be opened  and the case can be closed''

 It was Nesterov who organized the defence against raiders. He he  invited officers of special  agencies. Well-known Moscow  private security company   provided physical and information security, while a large legal agency from Nizhny Novgorod dealt with the legal aspect of the case.  Moscow major PR-agency was responsible for information warfare.

  Presidential plenipotentiary in the Volga Federal District Sergey Kiriyenko supported  Nesterov. President of Commerce and Industry  Chamber Yevgeny Primakov  fully approved of defence measures  taken by Nesterov. Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, Gennady Khodyrev said ''We'll stand for you! We'll do everything!'' And even prime-minister Mikhail Kasyanov   personally controlled the situation  and ordered the ministries and agencies to take action in Nesterov's support. So, Nesterenko moved heaven and earth.
