On March 3, in all the rooms of the English Club there was a groan of talking voices and, like bees on a spring flight, scurried back and forth, sat, stood, converged and dispersed, in uniforms, tailcoats and some others in powder and caftans, members and guests of the club . Powder-coated, stockinged and clogged footmen in livery stood at every door and tried hard to catch every movement of the guests and members of the club in order to offer their services. Most of those present were old, respectable people with broad, self-confident faces, thick fingers, firm movements and voices. This kind of guests and members sat in well-known, familiar places and met in well-known, familiar circles. A small part of those present consisted of random guests - mostly young people, among whom were Denisov, Rostov and Dolokhov, who was again a Semenov officer. On the faces of young people, especially military ones, there was an expression of that feeling of contemptuous respect for the elderly, which seems to say to the old generation: we are ready to respect and honor you, but remember that the future is still behind us.
Nesvitsky was right there, like an old member of the club. Pierre, on the orders of his wife, let go of his hair, took off his glasses and dressed in fashion, but with a sad and dejected look, walked through the halls. He, as elsewhere, was surrounded by an atmosphere of people who bowed before his wealth, and he treated them with the habit of kingship and absent-minded contempt.
By age he should have been with the young, by wealth and connections he was a member of the circles of old, respected guests, and therefore he moved from one circle to another.
Among the most significant old men formed the center of the circles, to which even strangers respectfully approached to listen to famous people. Large circles were formed around Count Rostopchin, Valuev and Naryshkin. Rostopchin talked about how the Russians were crushed by the fleeing Austrians and had to make their way through the fugitives with a bayonet.
Valuev said in confidence that Uvarov was sent from St. Petersburg in order to find out the opinion of Muscovites about Austerlitz.
In the third circle, Naryshkin spoke about the meeting of the Austrian military council, in which Suvorov crowed like a rooster in response to the stupidity of the Austrian generals. Shinshin, who was standing right there, wanted to joke, saying that Kutuzov, apparently, could not learn from Suvorov even this easy art - shouting like a cock; but the old men looked sternly at the joker, giving him the feeling that here and on this day it was so indecent to talk about Kutuzov.
Count Ilya Andreevich Rostov, anxiously, hurriedly paced in his soft boots from the dining room to the living room, hastily and in exactly the same way greeting important and unimportant faces, whom he knew all, and occasionally looking for his slender young son with his eyes, joyfully fixed his eyes on him and winked at him. Young Rostov stood at the window with Dolokhov, whom he had recently met and whose acquaintance he cherished. The old count went up to them and shook hands with Dolokhov.

Russian public figure and minority shareholder of the bank, Alexei Navalny, accused one of the structures affiliated with the bank, VTB-Leasing OJSC, of carrying out transactions in 2007 with the acquisition of 30 drilling rigs, for which, according to Navalny, the bank overpaid more than $ 160 million. Navalny turned to the Department of Economic Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia with a request to check these transactions. According to Oleg Anisimov, a member of the Advisory Board of VTB Shareholders, who referred to the words of Andrei Kostin, partly as a result of these transactions, the head of VTB-Leasing, Anton Borisevich, was fired. Navalny also claimed that, in fact, the installations were not actually leased, but, as his 2009 trip showed, lay in the open at the Purpe station.
In June 2011, an arbitration court was held on Navalny's claim to invalidate the deal. By this time, the former VTB-Leasing team was fired by Kostin, the new team announced the existence of contracts for 25 out of 30 installations. Navalny again stated that the installations were still lying at the Purpe station. By a court decision, Navalny's claim was denied.
Speaking at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2011, Andrey Kostin said that he had applied to law enforcement agencies, there were repeated checks - no corpus delicti was found there. In confirmation of these words, VTB posted on the Internet a copy of its 2009 statement to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and photographs and videos of working drilling rigs. Answering questions from visitors to the official VTB website in December 2011 about drilling rigs, Andrei Kostin said that 28 out of 30 rigs have already been implemented: 12 are in operation, 16 have been contracted and are being put into operation, in December it is planned to sign contracts for 2 more rigs. For all these rigs, VTB sees a return of funds over a seven-year period with a yield of 10%.
At the annual meeting of shareholders in 2012, Andrey Kostin, answering a question about drilling rigs, said that 20 rigs were already in operation, and 10 were leased. He also invited interested minority shareholders to check his words and visit the regions where drilling rigs are located.
In early September 2012, VTB organized a trip for minority shareholders, journalists and bloggers to VTB-Leasing's drilling rigs in the Orenburg Region and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The main critic of the deal, Alexei Navalny, who at that time was under house arrest at that time, was also invited to it, but the investigation refused his application to participate in the trip. After the trip, on September 26, a meeting of the advisory board of shareholders of VTB Bank was held, at which Alexei Navalny was present. After that, the bank said that "the members of the advisory board had no questions left on the issue under discussion." At the same time, Navalny said that "everyone stayed to his own": in his opinion, the bank is pressing on the fact that the drilling rigs are working. At the same time, the minority shareholder Vladimir Sinyakov, who was present at the meeting, pointed out that “There are two sides: there is efficiency, but there is theft, and the fact of theft has not been proven”, as well as “the connection of VTB-Leasing with the Cyprus offshore”.

The VTB group of financial companies has been operating in the financial market of the Russian Federation for quite a long time. This is not just an organization, but one of the largest financial institutions. Not only the activities of the institution, but also its name is of great interest to users. In this article, you can find the answer to the question of what is and how VTB 24 stands for.
In terms of the amount of the main authorized capital investment, the institution occupies one of the highest places in the modern banking rating. In terms of net assets at its disposal, the bank is immediately after the well-known Sberbank.
The task of the organization is to serve financial institutions, commercial organizations, as well as individuals. The main name of the company stands for External Trade Bank, that is, VneshTorgBank (VTB). This name was not accepted immediately. The basis for this was the history of the emergence and development of the organization.
It was created in 1990 by the simultaneous efforts of the official State Bank and the organization of the Ministry of Finance. Initially, it was a standard joint-stock company designed to conduct currency and ruble transactions related to international transfers. The subsequent development of the company was carried out in the following stages:
Now the state is directly involved in the work of this financial institution. The group of companies belongs to the category of backbone in a similar structure of standard credit institutions in Russia.
PJSC in the abbreviation of a financial institution, as mentioned above, correctly stands for a Share Joint Stock Company. The owners of the shares of this organization are citizens of the country. The high level of popularity of securities is based on the reliability of the bank, as well as the fact that the institution is fully regulated by the state and the provision of a huge number of related services.
The modern VTB Group is presented to users by standard credit structures, but by other organizations. Among them are the following divisions:
The structure also includes numerous financial companies - Factoring, a special Debt Center, as well as the Pension Administrative Center.
The usual combination of letter values in VTB decryption has three main options for valid decryptions:
A subsidiary of VTB 24 for the townsfolk is a sonorous and familiar name. The number 24, attached to the main letter values, shows that the organization is open 24 hours a day and all this time fulfills the needs of customers.
Based on this, a simple name, made up of five numerical and alphabetic indicators, has received an association with the modern institution of finance. The work of the institution is initially aimed at partnership with retail clients during not only working hours, but even at night. There are no breaks in the activity, let alone weekends.
The situation with the study of meaning is popular in that its version has become quite famous among modern citizens and numerous enterprises.
VTB stands for - this is a question of interest to many. The company quickly removed the abbreviation VshenTorgBank from the general consciousness of users, it is not mentioned in any papers. Legalized about 10 years ago, the decision from managers to use a more simplified and abbreviated designation received a serious response not only from employees of the financial institution, but also from customers.
VTB 24 works quite effectively with individuals and various representatives of commercial organizations. Users have the opportunity to perform the following manipulations at any time:
Based on all of the above, we can conclude that the described financial organization is characterized by a large number of advantages and inherent potential. The number of regular customers of the organization is increasing.
Deciphering the abbreviation VTB does not conclude anything complicated. This is an organization that is characterized as VneshTorgBank, which operates around the clock. In the daytime, operations are carried out in the branches of the organization, the rest of the time, a professional call center deals with issues. This allows you to understand why the name consists of the digital combination 24. Difficulties with how to decipher the name, after familiarizing yourself with the basic principles of the organization, will not arise.
