The European Union says Samolet Group, one of Russia’s largest homebuilders, used North Korean workers on its Vladivostok construction projects. On October 12, 2026, the EU listed Samolet and its chief executive, Anna Akinshina, freezing their assets in the EU and barring Akinshina from entering it. The same package listed Black Horse, a Moscow-region holding company; its farm subsidiary; and a North Korean tanker operator.
Public records fill in what the EU text leaves out. In April 2025, a Vladivostok city channel posted video from a construction site on Sabaneeva Street, and NK News identified the workers as likely North Korean at “the Samolet construction site.” Samolet’s own sitemap lists a project at 125 Sabaneeva St., about 132 km from the North Korean border. Within four days of the listing, Samolet disclosed that two board members had asked to step down and that its bonds had dropped to the Moscow Exchange’s lowest listing tier. It then announced that Akinshina would leave.
Other OctoProbe reporting on North Korean workers covers a different workforce: IT-worker personas, and Gmail accounts the Justice Department tied to Texas laptop farms. Those records describe remote IT work, not the construction crews in the EU’s Samolet listing.
- The EU’s reasons for listing Samolet and Akinshina are identical in Council Decision (CFSP) 2026/2283 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2278, both dated October 12, 2026.
- The city video’s Telegram text never mentions North Korea. The identification comes from NK News, and local outlets placed the site on Sabaneeva Street, where Samolet builds its first Vladivostok complex.
- Samolet runs its own autonomous system, AS34639, for name servers and mail. OctoProbe found no reference to North Korea in its live sitemap, which lists thousands of URLs.
- Filings from October 12 to 16, 2026, show resignation statements from two directors, bond transfers to Level 3, two credit downgrades, and a bond put.
Editor’s note: Samolet Group, Anna Akinshina, Vladimir Sokolov, Black Horse, Golden Autumn Agroholding, and Paekyangsan Shipping are subject to EU asset freezes, and Akinshina and Sokolov to an EU travel ban.
What the EU Listed on October 12
The Council of the European Union added three individuals and four entities to its North Korea list in Council Decision (CFSP) 2026/2283 and the matching Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2278. Both acts are dated October 12, 2026, and both carry the same entries for Samolet and Akinshina. In the regulation, the Council said it is “gravely concerned” by “the further deepening of the DPRK-Russia cooperation, including the employment of DPRK workers in Russia, the establishment of commercial joint ventures and the DPRK-Russia ‘arms-for-oil’ trade.”
The decision lists Akinshina as entry 34 under “Persons.” It gives her title as “CEO, Samolet Group of Companies PJSC,” her birth year as 1985, and her nationality as Russian. Its reasons read: “In her capacity as Chief Executive Officer of Samolet Group, a major Russian real estate development company, Anna Akinshina is responsible for the management and activities of the company, which has employed workers from the DPRK in its construction projects in Vladivostok, Russian Federation in violation of sanctions imposed by the UNSC that prohibit the deployment of DPRK nationals abroad as the revenue generated by DPRK workers overseas could contribute to the DPRK’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes.”
Samolet is entry 12 under “Entities”: “Samolet Group of Companies” PJSC, or ПАО “Группа Самолет,” at 121552, Moscow, Yartsevskaya st, 19, 6 floor, block B, with BIN/OGRN 1187746590283 and INN/TIN 9731004688. Its associated individual is Anna Nikolaevna Akinshina, and its designation date is 12.10.2026. The reasons read in full: “Samolet Group is a major Russian real estate development company using workers from the DPRK in its construction projects in Vladivostok, Russian Federation in violation of sanctions imposed by the UNSC that prohibit the deployment of DPRK nationals abroad as the revenue generated by DPRK workers overseas could contribute to the DPRK’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes.” “As such, Samolet Group is assisting in the evasion of UN sanctions and violating the provisions of UNSCR 2397 (2017).” UN Security Council Resolution 2397, adopted in December 2017, ordered countries to send North Korean workers home within two years.
Samolet said after the listing that it “продолжает вести всю операционную работу в плановом режиме,” or “continues to carry out all operational work as planned.” (Translation.) The Moscow Times reported that the company promised to comment on the substance after studying the EU’s release and the reasons for the sanctions. France’s national asset-freeze register carries the Akinshina entry, and OpenSanctions also lists it on Monaco’s freeze list from October 15, 2026.
Samolet’s Infrastructure: Two Domains, Its Own Network
Samolet’s public face is two domains: samolet.ru, the consumer site with project pages for each city, and samoletgroup.ru, the corporate domain. Russia’s registry, EGRUL, lists the company’s e-mail as INFO@SAMOLETGROUP.RU. Both domains resolve to 178.248.233.173, an address in a range that RIPE records as QRATOR-14654, announced by AS51115 (HLL LLC). Qrator is a Russian anti-DDoS service.
Behind that front, Samolet runs its own network. The name server ns01.samolet.ru (194.28.207.135), the mail hosts mg.samoletgroup.ru (194.28.207.206 and .207), mx02 and mx03, and the SPF-authorized senders 194.28.207.150 and .151 all sit in 194.28.207.0/24. RIPE records that block as RU-SAMOLET, originated by AS34639, “SAMOLET-AS SZ Samolet Development LLC,” which buys transit from Mastertel (AS29226), NetOne Rus (AS196695), Vimpelcom (AS3216), and OBIT (AS8492). The mobile site m.samolet.ru is a CNAME to VK Cloud and MegaFon CDNs.
Certificate transparency logs list more than a hundred names under samolet.ru and dozens under samoletgroup.ru, going back to 2016. They include event-vladivostok.samolet.ru, partners.samolet.ru, and polytender.samolet.ru. The zone serial numbers were 2026101402 for samolet.ru and 2026101601 for samoletgroup.ru on October 22, 2026, which means both zones were edited after the listing. The records do not say what changed.
Samolet’s ordinary shares trade on the Moscow Exchange as SMLT, ISIN RU000A0ZZG02, listed since October 29, 2020, according to the exchange’s securities data. EGRUL gives a different address from the EU’s Moscow one: a legal address in Krasnogorsk, Moscow region, at Lipovoy Roshchi Street 1, building 3, recorded since December 10, 2021.
OctoProbe’s investigation graph holds the same nodes, along with the corporate e-mail addresses info@samolet.ru, info@samoletgroup.ru, and security@samoletgroup.ru, drawn from open business directories. The address info@samoletgroup.ru appears in more than a hundred breach records, consistent with a shared role address rather than a person.
North Korean Workers at the Sabaneeva Street Site
The best public evidence is a 55-second video that Vladivostok’s city government posted itself. The channel МЦУ Владивостока describes itself as “Официальный канал Муниципального центра управления города Владивостока,” or “the official channel of the Municipal Management Center of the city of Vladivostok.” (Translation.) It had more than 6,000 subscribers on October 22, 2026. On April 3, 2025, it published post 2782, tagged #АнтиФейк (#AntiFake). Its full text reads:
“Сегодня в многочисленных телеграм-пабликах города Владивостока распространилась информация о жестоком обращении с животными на одной из строительных площадок города Владивостока.” “Муниципальный центр управления города Владивостокана направил информацию специалистам административно-территориального управления Первореченского района, которые оперативно организовали рабочий выезд на указанный объект. В итоге доводы, указанные в видео, не подтвердились.” “Наша общая задача – вместе делать Владивосток еще лучше!” Напоминаем, что сообщить о проблемах вы можете в чат-бот администрации по ссылке: @adm_vl_bot
(Translation.) Today, information spread in numerous Telegram channels of the city of Vladivostok about cruel treatment of animals at one of the city’s construction sites. The Municipal Management Center of the city of Vladivostok passed the information to specialists of the administrative-territorial department of the Pervorechensky district, who promptly organized a working visit to the site. As a result, the claims made in the video were not confirmed. Our common task is to make Vladivostok even better, together! We remind you that you can report problems to the administration’s chat bot at @adm_vl_bot.
The post’s text does not mention North Korea, Koreans, Samolet, or the address, and it does not use the word “cooperation.” Its framing is civic and collaborative: the closing line, “Our common task is to make Vladivostok even better, together!”, also appears in the channel’s description.
The video shows workers on the site. One frame is a wide shot of a container cabin, a plastic IBC water tank, and a worker in a hi-vis vest and white hard hat, with bare trees on a hillside behind. Another shows a man kneeling beside a dog lying on a cloth. A third is a close-up of a man in a black puffer jacket beside someone in a hi-vis vest. Each frame carries the watermark “МЦУ Владивостока.”
NK News, a U.S.-based outlet that covers North Korea, made the identification. In an April 14, 2025, report, it wrote that “Russian officials have released rare footage showing North Korean laborers at a construction site in Vladivostok in apparent violation of U.N. sanctions.” It said “Vladivostok authorities filmed what appear to be several DPRK workers during a visit to the construction site of Samolet, one of Russia’s largest real estate developers, in early April.” It added that in the video “a city official responds to reports that North Koreans mistreat dogs and even use them for food, stating on camera that “Koreans legally work here”.” NK News credited its image to “footage by Vladivostok's Municipal Coordination Center via Telegram.”
NK News’s public text does not cite a post number, but post 2782 matches its description: a video from the same city body, published in early April 2025, about the same dog rumor, and the only post on the incident OctoProbe found in the channel. OctoProbe assesses with high confidence that it is the footage NK News describes.
Local outlets carried the story the same day. PRIMPRESS quoted the city specialists placing the site “в районе улицы Сабанеева,” “in the area of Sabaneeva Street,” and saying: “«Здесь работают на стройке корейцы, работают официально. В кастрюле никакая не кровь, это просто кимчи.” (Translation.) “Koreans work here on the construction site, they work officially. There is no blood in the pot, it is just kimchi.” The local news channel NewsVL said the rumor concerned “одной из строек нового ЖК на Сабанеева,” “one of the construction sites of a new residential complex on Sabaneeva,” and wrote “А в кастрюле корейцы маринуют кимчи.” (Translation.) “And in the pot the Koreans are marinating kimchi.”
PrimaMedia’s Telegram channel went further, passing on eyewitness claims that the workers were “предположительно, уроженцы Северной Кореи,” “presumably natives of North Korea.” (Translation.) AiF-Primorye reported that the police checked the site and found the dogs belonged to a worker and guarded the grounds. Vesti Primorye placed the site in the Pervorechensky district and republished the city’s text. None of these local reports names Samolet. Neither the city’s post nor the local quotes call the workers North Korean; the local outlets say “Koreans.”
Geolocating the Site
Three independent details point to one place. The local reports put the site on Sabaneeva Street, at a new residential complex. The city’s post sent the complaint to the Pervorechensky district. Samolet’s live sitemap lists three Vladivostok projects: sabaneeva-125, kvartal-nejbuta, and mayak-dneprovskoy. NewsVL reported in April 2026 that “Sabaneeva 125” is Samolet’s first project in the city, and AiF-Primorye reported after the listing, citing Samolet’s website, that it is due by the end of 2026. In OpenStreetMap, 125 Sabaneeva Street is a building at 43.12938, 131.95400, in the Pervorechensky district.
OctoProbe places the April 2025 footage at Samolet’s Sabaneeva 125 site, at the level of the complex, with moderate-to-high confidence. That rests on NK News’s attribution to Samolet together with the street and district details. The frames have not been matched to satellite or street-level imagery.
Measured from public coordinates, the site is about 132 km (82 miles) in a straight line from Khasan station, on the Russian side of the Tumen River rail crossing into North Korea. It is 135 km from Tumangang station on the North Korean side and 168 km (104 miles) from Rajin in the Rason special economic zone. Central Vladivostok is 127 km from Khasan. The Khasan–Tumangang line is the rail link Kim Jong Un used in 2023, when his train arrived at Khasan station.
What Samolet’s Sitemap Shows, and Doesn’t
Samolet’s live sitemap lists thousands of URLs, including hundreds in its Vladivostok section. On October 22, 2026, none of the URLs OctoProbe read referred to North Korea (КНДР) or to Korean workers or partners. The Vladivostok section covers the three projects, their apartment listings, contacts, and a construction-progress FAQ.
Archived copies of the samolet.ru home page from March 4, 2016, July 25, 2024, and November 1, 2025, held in OctoProbe’s investigation graph, do not mention North Korea either.
Anna Akinshina: Finance Chief, CEO, Board Member
Akinshina is a finance executive who rose through Russian retail. Interfax reported at her appointment that she “более семи лет занимала руководящие позиции в "Магните" , Х5 Retail Group и "Сбер Еаптеке",” or “held senior positions at Magnit, X5 Retail Group, and Sber Eapteka for more than seven years.” (Translation.) Samolet’s May 2024 release says she “получила международную квалификацию по управленческому учету и управлению эффективностью бизнеса CIMA и диплом по Международной финансовой отчетности DipIFR,” or “received the international CIMA qualification in management accounting and business performance management and the DipIFR diploma in international financial reporting.” (Translation.)
Samolet named her finance director from June 11, 2024, and the board made her chief executive five months later. Its 2024 filing on the disclosure portal reads: “С 19 ноября 2024 года назначить единоличным исполнительным органом (Генеральным директором) Публичного акционерного общества «Группа компаний «Самолет» гражданку Российской Федерации Акиньшину Анну Николаевну сроком на 5 лет.” (Translation.) “From November 19, 2024, appoint Russian citizen Anna Nikolaevna Akinshina as the sole executive body (general director) of Samolet Group of Companies PJSC for a term of five years.” The vote was 9–0, and the filing records her stake in the company as 0%.
EGRUL has listed her as general director since November 26, 2024, under personal INN 775101448715. Shareholders elected her to Samolet’s nine-member board, according to a disclosure of the meeting results whose minutes are dated June 24, 2026. On September 21, 2026, the Kommersant–Association of Managers ranking placed her second among chief executives in construction and development.
Official sources show no other company directorships for her and no government or industry-association posts. She is not listed by the United States, the U.K., Canada, Ukraine, or Switzerland; her sanctions entries are the EU’s and those that carry it into national registers.
After the Listing: What Samolet Filed
Russian issuers must report material events on accredited disclosure portals. Samolet’s page on the Interfax corporate disclosure center (e-disclosure.ru) and its page on the PRIME disclosure portal carry the same filings, hundreds of them since December 2022. Samolet’s charter and internal regulations are posted in the company documents section of its e-disclosure page.
The key filing is dated to the day of the listing. Samolet published it on October 13 at 19:49 Moscow time under the heading “Информация об иных событиях (действиях), оказывающих, по мнению эмитента, существенное влияние на стоимость или котировки его ценных бумаг” (“Information on other events (actions) that, in the opinion of the issuer, have a significant impact on the price or quotations of its securities”). It gives the event date as “12.10.2026” and describes the event as “поступление заявлений о прекращении полномочий от членов Совета директоров.” (Translation.) “Receipt of statements on the termination of powers from members of the Board of Directors.” It names the two people only as “Физическое лицо 1* и Физическое лицо 2*,” “Individual 1 and Individual 2,” and withholds their identities under Russian Government Decree No. 1102 of July 4, 2023. The filing does not mention the EU, sanctions, or any effect on the company, and it names Akinshina only as the signatory: “Генеральный директор А.Н. Акиньшина” (“General Director A.N. Akinshina”).
October 12 is also the date of two exchange notices, published at 18:30. They say the Moscow Exchange moved one group of bonds from the “«Первый уровень»” list (“First level”) and another group from the “«Второй уровень»” list (“Second level”) to the “«Третий уровень»” (“Third level”), effective October 13. Level 3 is the exchange’s lowest listing tier. The notices do not give a reason. Every Samolet filing from October 13 to 16 came after the designation date.
Before October 12, the filings show a company already under strain. On September 29, 2026, Samolet disclosed a technical default on its BO-P20 bonds, saying part of the 2.5 billion ruble redemption was paid late and then in full. On October 2, its board met on an agenda that began “Утверждение условий трудового договора с Генеральным директором.” (Translation.) “Approval of the terms of the employment contract with the General Director.” The filings do not record a decision on it. On October 8, ACRA cut Samolet’s issuer rating from A-(RU) to BBB(RU) with a negative outlook.
On October 15 at 19:44, Samolet reported a board decision taken at an October 11 meeting, with minutes dated October 14. All “9 (Девять) членов Совета директоров Общества из 9 (Девяти) избранных” (“9 of the 9 elected members of the Board”) voted to approve supplementary agreements to three suretyships that Samolet gave an unnamed bank for an unnamed subsidiary. The filing says the obligations amount to “более 25 %, но менее 50 % балансовой стоимости активов Общества” (“more than 25% but less than 50% of the book value of the Company’s assets”). It does not mention the chief executive. At 15:47 that day, Samolet disclosed that National Credit Ratings had cut its issuer rating from “А.Ru, прогноз «стабильный»” (“A.Ru, outlook stable”) to “ВВВ(Ru), прогноз «негативный»” (“BBB(Ru), outlook negative”).
On October 16 at 11:48, Samolet disclosed a put on its BO-P05 bonds. Holders may tender them from October 28 to November 3, 2026, for purchase on November 9 at “100 (Сто) процентов от непогашенной части номинальной стоимости Облигаций” (“100 percent of the outstanding face value of the Bonds”). A second notice at 11:50 named Sovcombank as purchase agent. The put follows from a coupon rate that the general director set by an order of April 21, 2026, under the bond program’s terms.
Early that afternoon, Samolet announced on its company blog: “Анна Акиньшина приняла решение покинуть Группу «Самолет» по личным причинам.” (Translation.) “Anna Akinshina has decided to leave Samolet Group for personal reasons.” It said the board would be offered “Иван Иванов, занимающий в настоящее время должность управляющего директора направления Самолет Селект,” “Ivan Ivanov, currently managing director of the Samolet Select division.” (Translation.) Kommersant and Forbes Russia reported the change the same day. As of October 22, Samolet had filed no notice on the termination of her powers or on a new general director, and EGRUL still listed her as general director.
What Samolet’s Own Documents Say About Labor
Samolet’s current bond prospectus covers exchange bonds of up to 300 billion rubles. It was approved by the board on November 28, 2025 (minutes No. 25/25), with PJSC Moscow Exchange as the registering organization, and signed by Akinshina as general director. It also sets out who controls the chief executive: under points 28.2.13 and 28.2.14 of the charter, “к компетенции Совета Директоров относится назначение Генерального директора, определение срока его полномочий, Досрочное прекращение его полномочий, расторжение с ним трудового договора,” or “the competence of the Board of Directors includes appointing the General Director, setting the term of his powers, early termination of his powers, and terminating his employment contract.” (Translation.)
The prospectus discusses migrant labor as a cost. It says that in 2023 the main constraint on Russian construction was “дефицит рабочей силы из-за снижения потока мигрантов в результате ослабления курса рубля,” “a labor shortage due to a reduced inflow of migrants as a result of the weaker ruble,” and that “Сфера услуг сегодня составляет серьёзную конкуренцию строителям в плане уровня заработной платы мигрантов.” (Translation.) “The service sector today is serious competition for builders in the level of wages for migrants.” It mentions sanctions twice, both generally: “введением санкций против Российской Федерации в 2022 году” (“the introduction of sanctions against the Russian Federation in 2022”) as a driver of materials prices, and “введение экономических и политических санкций в отношении российских компаний, банков и должностных лиц” (“the introduction of economic and political sanctions against Russian companies, banks, and officials”) as a political risk. The risk sections from 2.8.6 to 2.8.9 do not mention foreign workers, North Korea, or sanctions tied to labor. The words “КНДР” and “Северная Корея” do not appear anywhere in the 101-page document.
The prospectus also describes how Samolet sells apartments: “Договоры заключаются с покупателями в формате ДДУ (договоров долевого участия) в рамках Федерального закона от 30.12.2004 № 214-ФЗ” … “и подлежат обязательной государственной регистрации, только после которой взимается оплата стоимости квартиры.” (Translation.) “Contracts with buyers are concluded as shared-construction participation agreements (DDU) under Federal Law No. 214-FZ of December 30, 2004 … and are subject to mandatory state registration, only after which payment for the apartment is collected.” Because each agreement must be registered, every DDU for a Samolet project is recorded in Rosreestr’s state real-estate register, a record investigators can follow project by project. The consolidated text of 214-FZ, as amended through April 9, 2026, contains no reference to North Korea, foreign workers, or international sanctions.
The EU’s reasons do not cite their sources. The EU acts say that Samolet used North Korean workers in Vladivostok. NK News identified likely North Korean workers at Samolet’s site in April 2025. The city’s video and its post do not identify the workers’ nationality, and local outlets called them “Koreans.” None of the Samolet filings cited here, nor its prospectus, mentions North Korean workers or labor at its Vladivostok projects.
The disclosure page also exposes some of Samolet’s financial plumbing. Its shareholder register has been kept since June 30, 2018, by JSC “Independent Registrar Company R.O.S.T.,” INN 7726030449 and OGRN 1027739216757, the same registrar that EGRUL records. Payment for document copies goes to Samolet’s account 40702810638000086558 at PJSC Sberbank, BIK 044525225, under INN/KPP 9731004688/773101001. That KPP is a Moscow tax-registration code; EGRUL gives 502401001 for Krasnogorsk. Both the registrar and the settlement account give investigators specific identifiers to follow.
The Board Chair: Dmitry Golubkov
Samolet’s board is chaired by Dmitry Arkadyevich Golubkov, born in 1972. The prospectus lists his positions as president of the BC Khimki basketball club since 2013, chairman of Samolet’s board since 2020, chairman of the board of OOO SPb Renovatsiya from 2020 to 2024, and a member of the board of AO Mosoblgaz since 2020. It gives his stake as “Доля принадлежащих такому лицу обыкновенных акций эмитента: 1,67%” (Translation.) “Share of the issuer’s ordinary shares belonging to this person: 1.67%.”
Before Samolet, Golubkov worked in fertilizers and then gas distribution. BC Khimki’s club profile says he worked at Acron from 1996 to 2012, as vice president for foreign economic relations from 2006, and then ran Mosoblgaz from July 2012. MarketScreener lists him as chairman of Shandong Hongri Acron Chemical in China and as a director of BFT Eesti AS, which operates a marine terminal, as well as of Agronova International, North Western Phosphorous Co., North Atlantic Potash, and Partomchorr. It lists his BCT AS directorship as ending on March 29, 2013. Acron’s main owner, Viatcheslav Kantor, is under UK, Ukrainian, Polish, and Lithuanian sanctions, according to OpenSanctions, which shows no EU listing for him. These are documented business ties; none of the records reviewed connects Golubkov to North Korea.
Golubkov does not appear on the EU, U.K., U.S., Ukrainian, or Canadian sanctions lists, according to OpenSanctions on October 22, 2026, and the prospectus records no family ties between him and other members of Samolet’s governing bodies.
The Wider Network: Black Horse and the Paek Yang San 1
The EU says Black Horse, a holding company headed by Vladimir Sokolov, “exports products to the DPRK and identifies the DPRK as a priority commercial market.” It says that in April 2026, Sokolov “publicly announced the establishment of a joint DPRK-Russia industrial investment project in Primorsky Krai.” NK News reported in March 2026 that Golden Autumn was building a plastic-packaging plant in Vladivostok with a North Korean partner. On October 21, 2026, the banner on Golden Autumn’s website still read “Export of products to North Korea, Thailand, China, Vietnam.” (Translation.)
Russia’s registry shows that LLC PCC Black Horse was struck off on December 25, 2025, and that Golden Autumn was renamed LLC Managing Holding “Bashurov and Partners” on July 13, 2026. The EU spells Black Horse’s Russian name “Бызкхоз,” while the registry spells it “Блэкхос.” The INN and OGRN numbers in the EU text still match.
The fourth company, Paekyangsan Shipping, is North Korean. The EU says it “operates the DPRK-flagged vessel Paek Yang San 1, which is involved in shipments of refined petroleum products from Russia to the DPRK in violation of UNSCR 2397 (2017), in the context of the DPRK-Russia “arms-for-oil” trade.” The U.K. designated it on May 17, 2024. France’s register entry for Paekyangsan lists Samolet as an “entité associée,” or associated entity, a link the EU text does not make.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the EU sanction Samolet Group?
The EU says Samolet used North Korean workers on construction projects in Vladivostok, in breach of UN Security Council Resolution 2397. It listed the company and its chief executive, Anna Akinshina, on October 12, 2026, in Council Decision (CFSP) 2026/2283 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2278.
What does the Vladivostok video show?
A 55-second video posted on April 3, 2025, by the Municipal Management Center of Vladivostok shows workers and dogs at a construction site. The post’s text does not mention North Korea. NK News reported that the footage shows likely North Korean workers at Samolet’s site.
Where is the site?
Local reports place it on Sabaneeva Street in Vladivostok’s Pervorechensky district, where Samolet builds its Sabaneeva 125 complex. OpenStreetMap puts 125 Sabaneeva Street at 43.12938, 131.95400, about 132 km from the Khasan–Tumangang rail crossing into North Korea.
Does Samolet’s website mention North Korea?
Not in its live sitemap. On October 22, 2026, none of the thousands of URLs OctoProbe read in it referred to North Korea, Korean workers, or North Korean partners.
Is Anna Akinshina still Samolet’s chief executive?
Samolet announced on October 16, 2026, that she would leave for personal reasons and that the board would be offered Ivan Ivanov. As of October 22, 2026, Russia’s registry still listed her as general director, and her name was on Samolet’s filings through October 16.
What happened to Samolet’s bonds after the listing?
Samolet disclosed on October 12, 2026, that the Moscow Exchange moved several bond series from Level 1 and Level 2 to Level 3, effective October 13. ACRA had cut its rating to BBB(RU) on October 8, and National Credit Ratings cut its rating to BBB(Ru) on October 15.
