I'm catching up on cache of docs in the BF article and will post a few notes on this thread - here's link to 284 page pdf

First quick note - there's little public info to-date on Rozov's financial advisor Dmitry Chizhikov, who coordinated w/Sater on deal

On 10/9/15 Sater emailed Cohen he was meeting with Andrey Molchanov "to do Trump Moscow" on his site and mentioned that Putin worked for his stepfather who had been the governor of St. Petersburg (Yury Molchanov was Vice Governor)

A few mins later on 10/9/15 Sater emailed Cohen link to story on LSR Group website, the company headed by Andrey Molchanov - describing redevelopment plan for Zil territories, the site of a former car plant where LSR had a redevelopment plan

Shortly after Sater's email a Nov 2015 article described LSR Group development "the Zilart district project will also include a unique museum complex, Hermitage Moscow, and a 150-meter tower, both designed by prominent New York-based architect Hani Rashid"

Sater sent link about LSR Group's Zil development project and LSR used designs by NY architect Hani Rashid who co-founded Asymptote Architecture

Asymptote has an address at 160 Varick Street NY - a 12 story building which coincidentally is address used by Bayrock & Felix Sater

Here's a rending by New York-based architect Hani Rashid of the 150 meter tower for LSR Group's plan for the ZiL territory development project

A few days after emails about Andrey Molchanov, Michael Cohen sends an email with subject "FW: the residential tower" and attachment 'KSRZ June 2015.pdf' and then some pages from 'Platforma Investment Management' with renderings of another development

There's an interesting mystery in the Nov 3, 2015 email Sater sent to Cohen - Sater was on a plane to the Bahamas to spend 8 days with Andrey Rozov and described someone joining them - a "very close person & partner to Putin's closest friend"

There's more on this mystery person who met Sater and Rozov in the Bahamas - and who neither would disclose to Buzzfeed - Sater described pitching the mystery man who was close friends and worked with the Rotenberg brothers
