Exiled russian oligarch’s 257’ superyacht amaryllis seen towed through palm beach.

The Amaryllis being towed past the former mansion of Henry Flagler, built in 1902

By John Jannarone and Alan Hatfield

The 257’ superyacht Amaryllis apparently owned by exiled Russian oligarch Andrey Borodin was towed past Palm Beach, FL on Friday morning, according to a visual account by CorpGov .

The yacht, whose owner is frequently cited as Mr. Borodin by enthusiast publications, moved slowly through the Lake Worth lagoon where bridges were raised for its passage. A towboat with flashing lights about 150 feet ahead pulled the Amaryllis , built by German shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen in 2011.

While CorpGov could not officially confirm Mr. Borodin as the owner of the vessel, his wife, socialite Tatiana Korsakova, has posted dozens of Instagram photos and videos aboard the Amaryllis. A yacht broker interviewed by CorpGov confirmed that Ms. Korsakova is indeed aboard the Amaryllis in the photos and videos.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tatiana Korsakova (@tati_vk)

The sighting comes as billions of dollars in Russian-owned yachts have been seized around the world as a result of international sanctions. CNN has published an extensive list of seized vessels, which were taken in harbor cities including Mallorca, Spain and London.

However, it is unclear if the Amaryllis was being seized or voluntarily towed. Very large yachts often choose to be towed because bridges are required to raise for them, according to the yacht broker.

The former Bank of Moscow chief was granted political asylum in the UK in February 2013 after fleeing what he alleged to be politically-motivated fraud and embezzlement charges. Mr. Borodin would go on to be tried and convicted in abstentia in Russian Court in 2018, but not before managing to enlist a number of prominent American lawmakers to lobby Washington for a U.S. visa. Despite Russian extradition requests to the UK government, Borodin’s controversial attempts to make large donations to the NHS, and the uncovering of an assassination plot against his life, the fugitive banker remains overseas, having been granted access to his Swiss bank accounts and having made several notable London real estate purchases during his time in exile.

Mr. Borodin is widely listed as a billionaire, but his total wealth remains difficult to confirm accurately, with the governments of Switzerland and the Bahamas having been asked to help the Russian government in its legal case. In 2012, Borodin purchased the UK’s then-most expensive home, an 80-hectare 18th-century estate in Oxfordshire, for upwards of $217 million. In 2017 he was granted access to personal Swiss accounts holding a reported $378 million. The Amaryllis was purchased for a reported $120 million.

Mr. Borodin did not immediately respond to an emailed query from CorpGov , while the FBI declined to comment. An emailed query to The Department of Homeland Security was not returned.

Yacht Mikhail S. Vorontsov will be fitted with aluminium spars and carbon booms. All eight sails are roller furled will be operated via a hydraulic semi-automatic system that allows for easy handling of the 1478 m² sail area.

Mikhail Vorontsov

[ Ken Lin ]

Mikhail Semenovich Vorontsov was born on May 19, 1782 in St. Petersburg, into a well-respected noble family and the son of the Russian ambassador to England. Though his family was in debt throughout much of his childhood, he still received a traditional liberal arts education and lived abroad most of the time due to his father’s travels. His service at a young age as secretary to his father gave him a great deal of experience in diplomacy and negotiation, even as he harbored a great sense of Russian nationalism and a desire for a military career (Smith).

The onset of the War of 1812 against Napoleon gave Vorontsov his real claim to fame. He took command of the Second Grenadier Division of the Second Western Army, which fought in engagements at Saltanovka, Smolensk and Borodino during the retreat to the east. At Borodino Vorontsov led the defense of the fortress near Semionovskaia, which saw such fierce battle that by the end of August over two-thirds of the division had been killed or wounded, including Vorontsov who received serious wounds to his leg. He was forced to return to his home in Moscow to recuperate (Napoleon, Smith).

During the evacuation of Moscow, Vorontsov ordered his personal boats to be unloaded of all his valuables and instead loaded with fifty wounded soldiers to be moved to his Andreevskoie estate in Vladimir. Though his entire library of several thousand books and countless other possessions were lost when Moscow was burned by the invading French army, Vorontsov’s actions displayed his utmost concern for his troops. He eventually recovered from his wounds and returned to the battlefield in December, taking command of the Third Western Army and leading it at Bromberg, Rogazen and Poznan throughout 1813. Following promotion to the rank of lieutenant general, he then joined the Army of the North at the end of the year and was decorated with the Order of St. George for his actions at Craonne, where he defeated Napoleon in battle. With the end of the war Vorontsov was given command of the Russian occupation forces, a position he held until 1818, and during which time he wrote A Few Rules for Dealings with the Lower Ranks of the Twelfth Infantry Corps , which stressed honor and ambition above all other qualities of a successful soldier (Napoleon, Smith).

Vorontsov found favor with both the Russian court and with the soldiers under his command during his time as commander of occupation forces in France. The writer F.F. Vigel, who had the chance to serve under Vorontsov, wrote that the commander “who when still young, rich in gold and valour, preferred all the burdens and perils of a soldier’s life to the pleasures and splendour of court, was a tender father to his men, and a comrade, friend and brother to his fellow officers…When the troops left France, Vorontsov paid off his officers’ debts – to the tune of one-and-a-half million”. Vigel also wrote of the excellent relations the occupying forces enjoyed with the locals, and how many of the occupying soldiers were granted great leeway by Vorontsov in their lifestyles and indulgences (Smith).

After returning to Russia, Vorontsov in 1819 married Elizaveta Ksaver’evna Branitskaia, whom he had met in Paris and was in fact a relative of Prince Potemkin. Vorontsov spent the following several years traveling throughout Europe, buying property and personally drawing up plans for estates to be built. Afterwards he was granted his preferred assignment –governor-general of Novorossia and Bessarabia, where for the following two decades he served ably as both a military commander and civil administrator, overseeing the construction and development of Odessa into a major trading center while simultaneously battling outbreaks of disease (Smith).

Overall Vorontsov succeeded in fostering free trade conditions and better relations between ethnic groups in Russia’s southern holdings, leading to his appointment by the tsar in 1845 to serve as the viceroy of the Caucasus, the first person to hold the position, in the hopes that the war hero and able administrator could tame the Caucasus. Vorontsov held the position for nearly a decade, during which time his work was instrumental in reforming much of society in the southern Caucasus. His initiatives included the creation of native-led school systems, religious freedoms, and the co-opting of Georgian nobles who received official recognition of their status by Imperial Russia. He allegedly viewed Russian expansion into the Caucasus not as a military conquest, but rather as an exploratory mission – to that end, he sought the aid of Russian and Georgian archeologists and ethnographers to help excavate ancient sites throughout the Caucasus (De Waal, 44-5).

At the same time, however, the north Caucasus proved to be more resistant to social and economic reforms. Following several successful offenses by Shamil against Russian forces in Daghestan, Vorontsov was granted great leeway by the tsar in neutralizing the threat posed by Shamil, yet he still relied on the old and unsuccessful method of “one blow” strokes against the rebels. This led to a disastrous Russian defeat at Andi and Dargo, where the Russians were allowed to walk straight into an ambush by the rebels, and had to be extracted by forces from the Caucasian Line. Shifting strategies, Vorontsov returned to the methods of Yermolov, utilizing ecological destruction in order to secure routes of transit for Russian forces, as well as the construction of additional defensive lines and fortresses throughout Chechnya (Gammer, 59-61).

By 1853, Vorontsov was in declining health from over five decades in service, and stepped down from his posting as viceroy of the Caucasus. In 1956 he was promoted to the rank of Fieldmarshal-General, and died later that year on November 6 in Odessa (Smith).

Characterizations of Vorontsov are mixed. Tolstoy himself wrote that the viceroy was “ambitious, gentle and kind in his manners with inferiors, and a finished courtier with superiors. He did not understand life without power and submission”. On the other hand there was the writer Alexander Pushkin, who served under Vorontsov and had a rather negative view of the commander, describing him as “half hero and half ignoramus, what’s more, half scoundrel, don’t forget. But on this score the man gives promise that he will make a whole one yet” (Gammer, 60).
