twice, he signed the minutes of the meeting when they elected the head accountant, he does not recall the surname of the accountant, and there were some sort of transfers within the bank. Each time, he read the document; there were no financial documents. He held the post from late December to early January, less than a month. He has known Pechkin for a long time; they are friends. Pechkin had nothing to do with his (Plaksins) appointment to the bank. He has known Orlov since 1983; they are friends. Orlov is acquainted with Zhlobitskiy. Orlov did not propose to him that he become a founder of the firm and he did not sign any documents with him.

He does not recall whether he was general director of OstVest LLC; he was not a Founder of the firm Optim Service. On the charter of the firm Maxima under inspection (volume 22, pages 1435), the signatures are not his. He does not know whether he signed documents at Universal [Savings] Bank. He was present when shares in the bank were transferred from one owner to another, but he does not recall the circumstances of the transaction.

Up to the present time he (Plaksin) remains chairman of the board of directors and a founder of the firm Maxima. It is not his signature on the Charter under inspection (volume 22, pages 7286); he knows nothing about this firm and he does not know who could have used his details.
