Iakov Igorevich Goldovskiy (/ɡoʊlˈdɒfski/;[2] born 1962) is a businessman known as former owner and president at the Russian petrochemical holding Sibur in the late 1990s–early 2000s and for his ownership of Vienna-based Petrochemical Holding GmbH.[3][1][4][5]
Career
Sibur
Sibur traces its origins to a Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 7 March 1995 (No. 214), which established the Siberian-Ural Oil and Gas Chemical Company.[6] By the late 1990s and early 2000s, Goldovskiy was widely reported as a key executive associated with Sibur and its expansion and control struggles involving Gazprom.[3][1]
In 2002, Goldovskiy was prosecuted in Russia in connection with allegations arising from his management of Sibur; contemporaneous reporting described multiple charges, and a Moscow court sentenced him to seven months for abuse of authority, with complete acquittals on other counts, and released him on the basis that the sentence time had already been served in pre-trial detention.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
Petrochemical Holding and later business
Following the Sibur affair in 2002, Goldovsky moved to Vienna, Austria, and continued his industrial activities.[3] Earlier, in 1995, Iakov Goldovsky founded Petrochemical Holding GmbH in Austria, where he continued his activities after moving. He began acquiring assets for the holding company, including the RAFO refinery in Romania, and Polski Gaz in Poland.[1][14][15]
In early 2021, Goldovskiy completed the sale of the Korund-Cyan plant in Dzerzhinsk, a sodium cyanide producer used in gold mining. Thus, Goldovsky ceased cooperation with Russia and its business structures.[4][16][17][18]
Egypt sodium cyanide project (DrasChem)
In 2024, Petrochemical Holding and Draslovka Holding started a sodium cyanide project in Alexandria, Egypt, oriented toward exports and supported by Egypt’s petroleum ministry and cabinet-level investment discussions. [19][20][21]
