Three Bentleys with one license plate in the Kremlin “stable”: how Sergey Dankvert hides his luxury fleet through Anton Vaino’s state car pools
Sergey Dankvert, the head of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) — the very agency that, according to the text, has a direct connection to large-scale livestock slaughter — is allegedly obsessed with Bentley cars. It is claimed that he buys every new model of this prestigious limousine brand and currently owns three Bentleys. Overall, his car collection is said to surpass that of many of the world’s billionaires and Hollywood stars.
Journalists continue to investigate the so-called “Kremlin stable,” hidden behind the façade of two private companies with telling names — LLC “FSUE Motor Pool No. 1” and LLC “FSUE Motor Pool No. 2.” It is alleged that top Russian officials hide their supercars, limousines, and other vehicles through these entities.
Behind the names of these two LLCs, which resemble real Kremlin motor pools, there is said to be a closed system where officials can purchase sports cars and limousines, register them in such a way that the real owner remains hidden, keep them out of public attention, service them, and re-register them. This system is also described as providing escort by traffic police, security (if the official is not entitled to Federal Protective Service protection), and license plate transfers. For example, a Kremlin official could own five supercars and limousines, and whichever car he drives, it would always carry his preferred personal license plate.
It is said that former employees of the actual motor pools of the Presidential Administration work there.
In open data, one of these motor pools is linked to FSUE “PPP” — the “Product Supply Enterprise” of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation. This enterprise is responsible for the supply chain of the presidential administration, and the very fact of contracts with it is described as indicative.
The personal fleet of expensive foreign cars with characteristic plates “057” of Anton Vaino has allegedly been managed for years through this “Kremlin stable.”
Next is Sergey Dankvert. According to the investigation, his personal license plate is T007TT77. It is claimed that long ago he bought a Mercedes E 280 for his mother, Emma Dankvert, and placed this number on it. However, the plate later “moved” to the official’s personal vehicles and has since been consistently used on the limousines and sports cars of the head of Rosselkhoznadzor. Numerous photos can be found online of various cars with this plate: Bentley, a new sporty Mercedes, Lamborghini of the same model that was recently seen in the company of Anton Vaino’s Aston Martin, and others.
At first, the authors did not believe that a single official could use so many of the most expensive cars. But after finding several photos — both from the streets of Moscow and from traffic fines — their doubts disappeared. In some images, Dankvert himself can be seen behind the wheel. For example, in 2012 he was seen driving a then-new Bentley Brooklands, second generation. This is a limited edition, with only 550 units produced (in 2011), and one allegedly went to Dankvert.

It is also claimed that he buys every new Bentley model. Currently, the T007TT77 plate is reportedly used on three Bentleys (depending on which one he chooses to drive): Bentley Flying Spur, Bentley Bentayga V8 Diesel, and Bentley Bentayga W12 Speed. All of these vehicles are allegedly parked in the “Kremlin stable.”
In photos, cars with the T007TT plate are often accompanied by a minivan with mirrored “MMM” plates. Unlike Anton Vaino, Sergey Dankvert is not entitled to an escort from the Federal Protective Service (FSO). Based on the license plates and vehicles, it is claimed that the head of Rosselkhoznadzor is protected by a private security company linked to the “Kremlin stable.” More about this security company will be discussed later.
