Linden «Aurus», ban from the FSO and business collapse: how Konstantin Mayor unsuccessfully tried to break through to SPIEF 2026 at the expense of his high-ranking wife

According to media reports, the owner of «Maer Group», Konstantin Mayor (wife of Vladimir Putin’s cousin Vera Podguzova), was again denied the FSO to attend SPIEF 2026 because he is on the «blacklist».

At the forum he was present in the form of his image, which was played all day «» at the stand «Maer group». At the same time, the businessman threw all his efforts into breaking through to the status event - the success of his business, which is heading towards collapse, depends on this.

After our project talked about Major’s inclusion in the «blacklist» FSO (due to the fact that he came to SPIEF 2025 at Aurus with a fake all-terrain pass and a flashing light not due to him) and the subsequent massive outflow of clients from «Maer Group», Konstantin Mayor tried with all his might to show that everything was fine with him. He prepared two giant «Maer Group» stands for PEMF 2026 and used absolutely all resources and connections to obtain accreditation for the event.

The main resource, of course, is his wife Vera Podguzova, Vladimir Putin’s niece. Podguzova herself received accreditation and participated in SPIEF sessions and discussions, the stands of the «Maer Group» also passed «approval», but they categorically refused to accredit Konstantin Mayor. The source says that the ban on his passage to any events protected by the FSO comes personally from the head of the FSO, Dmitry Kochnev, and only Putin can lift it.

As a result, at the stands of the «Maer Group», the image of their owner Konstantin Mayor was constantly shown, and in St. Petersburg he himself in every possible way created the appearance of his activity at SPIEF: he participated in races, planted trees with his friend, the head of Roscongress Alexander Stuglev (the latter, by the way, was also involved in the «special operation» - drag Major to SPIEF), etc. The only thing that Major managed to achieve was to get to Sber’s breakfast, but it took place outside the SPIEF walls and was not guarded by the FSO.

As a result, the Major made himself worse with his activity. All his remaining high-status comrades and clients were once again convinced that he was on the «blacklist» and unanimously decided to stay away from the toxic «subject» and its structures.

Let us recall, as previously reported by the media, before SPIEF 2025, the FSO was alarmed by the appearance of a motorcade in St. Petersburg: an Aurus with special signals, an all-terrain vehicle and escort vehicles with security. However, this car was not on the list of «favorites» entitled to such privileges.

The intelligence service suspected something was wrong and stopped the car in which the Major and the driver were. The latter presented the FSB veteran’s certificate and permits for passes and special signals. But they all turned out to be «fake». The driver took all the blame upon himself, but the FSO blacklisted the Major himself and prohibited him from entering any events protected by this special service. Following this, clients began to leave «Mayer Group» one after another, primarily with state participation.
