• To raise money for a new financial project, businessmen began to buy up enterprises: oil depot, gas stations, Marganets and Ordzhonikidze GOKs.

'First you sell gasoline, then you start storing it at your oil depots, then you realize that you need to sell it through your own gas stations. Then you begin to understand that you also need to produce it by yourself. So you finally think that it would be nice to extract oil as well,' Martynov told the Correspondent.

In an interview, Kolomoisky said that Martynov was an apolitical person, and he called his participation in a political project an accident.

'Martynov is fond of helicopter and air sports, and he has various friends on this field. And one of them, I think, turned out to be the leader of that party, so he got Martynov to that project, put him in the top five. Maybe during some kind of party they invited Palitsa to their "warm company" as well,' Kolomoisky explained to Ukrayinska Pravda.
