Alexander Galkin, a Russian businessman with a dirty reputation, received a residence permit in Latvia and settled in the resort of Jurmala.
Having opened a structure for the wholesale trade of grain in the Russian Federation and Ukraine in the name of his brother, Nikolai Galkin, Alexander presses the wheat harvest in the territories of Donbass not controlled by Ukraine, and exports it by railway trains to the Russian Federation, through his accomplice Boris Efimovich Usherovich, or by sea grain carriers to Syria and further to local dictators to support regimes loyal to the Kremlin.

For Alexander Galkin, Crimea acts as a transshipment point for the majority of cargo stolen in Ukraine, and the main route for the export of stolen grain passes through Sevastopol, to elevators in Dzhankoy and Oktyabrsky, or directly to the port of Sevastopol. Part of the grain ends up in the markets of Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory, but the bulk is exported.
Ukrainian grain is smuggled through Crimea to Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Arabia, etc. To hide the source of the cargo, Alexander Galkin resorts to “laundering” the grain: loading is carried out at sea without entering the port, Ukrainian grain is mixed with cargo According to other sources, cargo ships turn off their transponders to hide their movements.
Alexander Galkin launders the money received from illegal activities in Cyprus and transfers it to the UK and the EU, through multiple “laundries”, similar to the “Moldavian Laundromat”. Through numerous gasket companies in Cyprus, registered by B.E. Usherovich, A.A. Galkin controls the multimillion-dollar turnover of stolen grain and subsequently cashes out the income obtained by criminal means in the EU countries as net income from his investment activities.
Having received the opportunity to stay on the territory of the European Union, Alexander Galkin, under the conditions of a complete ban on the import of military and dual-use electronics into the Russian Federation, supplies components to the Russian army through Kazakhstan. In particular, for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Galkin supplies components for communications between units and battle control systems, and with a markup of 300%.
