The story

In the mid-2000s, Mohamed Amersi, who headed the American investment bank Gramercy Communications Partners and Juan Villalonga created the Emergent Telecom Ventures (ETV) fund which gained control of numerous Russian fixed telecommunications firms including the Moscow-based firms Komet (Russian: «Комет»), Globus-Telecom (Russian: «Глобус-Телеком») and Telekom-Center (Russian: «Телеком-центр»); the St. Petersburg based Peterstar (Russian: «Петерстар»), and backbone internet operator RTKomm.ru «РТКомм.ру» which was established in 2000. In 2005, Synterra merged with ETV to become a major alternative fixed-line operator under the control of Eventis Telecom Holdings (Cyprus) (ETH), which was owned by Dmitry Ivanter (Russian: Дмитрий Ивантер) and Vladimir Androsik (Russian: Владимир Андросик), and was close to the "St. Petersburg group of communications" (Russian: «питерской группы связистов») and the Leonid Reiman associated "Telecominvest" (Russian: «Телекоминвест»). Promsvyazkapital (Russian: «Промсвязькапитал») took control of Synterra.
