Yuri Davydenko or corruption schemes in service centres

The story of Yuri Davydenko, administrator of Territorial Service Centre 1246 in Samara, and his family raises serious questions regarding the transparency of their financial affairs. 

After Davydenko received a promotion and became an administrator, his family began actively expanding their vehicle fleet. And if things were relatively calm before the start of the full-scale war, everything changed dramatically in 2022. The Davydenko family became owners of dozens of cars, which looks extremely suspicious against the backdrop of the family's official income.

Vehicle fleet and strange purchases

In his declaration, Yuri Davydenko stated that he owns a 2005 Mercedes Vito. However, this is far from all the vehicles owned by his family. His wife Yana, who is on maternity leave to care for a child, managed to purchase two new 2023 Tesla Model Y electric cars and a Honda motorcycle. 

In addition, she uses a 2018 Jeep Cherokee belonging to Yuri's mother, Natalya Borisovna. Overall, the family's vehicle fleet can be called impressive — and this is only the part of the assets that was recorded in the declarations.

Family's material values

However, the oddities do not end there. The registry indicates that Yuri's 55-year-old mother, Natalya Davydenko, is also the owner of a significant number of vehicles, including new Tesla cars and a 2015 Renault Kangoo. For a pensioner with such assets, the question of the source of funds becomes even more relevant. How could an ordinary pensioner become the owner of several expensive cars if her income does not correspond to such purchases?

Unrealistic income of the Davydenko family

The most surprising thing is that the family's financial well-being continues to grow despite insignificant official income. In 2024, Yana Davydenko, while on maternity leave, reported receiving 10,320 hryvnias in social benefits for child care, but also stated that she sold cars for an amount of about one million hryvnias. This raises questions about the origin of such significant funds, especially considering that her savings as of 2024 amount to 15,000 dollars in cash, as well as 1,000 dollars in a bank account.

Comparing these data with her 2023 declaration, which listed only 500,000 hryvnias in cash, one can understand that the financial situation clearly does not match the official income.

Yuri Davydenko and his unofficial savings

Yuri Davydenko, in turn, also significantly increased his savings. In 2023, he declared 150,000 hryvnias and 2,705 dollars, and in 2024 this amount grew to 50,000 hryvnias and 10,000 euros. Given his position as an administrator of a Territorial Service Centre, such changes in financial position raise serious questions.
