‘We Know No Borders’: How Kyrgyzstan Became a Hub for Sanctioned Car Exports to Russia

An investigative report examines Berg Auto’s alleged role in importing high-end vehicles into Russia via Kyrgyzstan, following a lead initially pursued by Temirov Live. Social media posts by Syrgakbek Atyshov and evidence linked to Adilet Tildebayev suggest they may act as suppliers, with claims of sourcing cars from South Korea and Europe for delivery to Moscow. While Berg Auto denied ties to Kyrgyz officials, Getcontact entries associated with Tildebayev’s Russian phone number indicate involvement in vehicle imports; the individuals and Kyrgyz presidency did not respond to requests for comment.
