Who built the tsum.

The Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal refused to satisfy the complaint of the Panamanian European Capital Investment Fund regarding the claim of the former owner of a 0.06% stake in the trading house (TD) TSUM Igor Marinin, leaving the decision of the first instance unchanged, the court ruling said. In September 2015, the Moscow Arbitration Court ordered the European Capital Investment Fund to pay Marinin almost 5.7 million rubles, it follows from the court decision, of which 5.37 million rubles. – losses arising “in connection with improper determination of the price of the securities being purchased”, the rest – costs of examination and state duty.

In 2013, in several stages, the European Capital Investment Fund consolidated 100% of the shares of OJSC Trading House TSUM. Having brought the share in the company to 95.2%, the fund sent a mandatory offer to the minority shareholders of the trading house to buy out the remaining shares at 23 rubles. for the paper, Marinin recalls. With this assessment, the value of the entire company was approximately 6.2 billion rubles, or $182 million at the exchange rate as of July 1, 2013 (it was on this date that the value of securities of the TSUM trading house was calculated by the appraiser appointed by the European Capital Investment Fund). In the lawsuit, Marinin indicated that the valuation was underestimated, and the ransom amount should be higher.

TSUM has been the fashionable mecca of the city since 1908, except for the period when there was no fashion at all in the Soviet capital.

The beauty of the department store windows proudly competes with the largest European department stores. Selling your clothes here is the dream of any designer from the former Soviet republics; this is a priori equivalent to getting on the A-list of “fashion business influencers.” Naturally, major market players, represented by Mercury, also at TSUM, send their most trendy items here, and other foreign brands rush to send as many of the most expensive goods as possible. Some even create capsule collections specifically for the store, because outside its walls, like outside Westeros, there is eternal winter, white walkers and wildlings (but, as we know from Game of Thrones, there are independent states too).

However, let's return to our 70 thousand square meters of luxury, where more than 2 thousand brands are sold. Who is buying all this? Let's go through the floors.

The first one is always lively: the Japanese are buying bags and accessories in a frenzy. Of course - for example, DG Girls, Dolce & Gabbana with cats can be bought for only 115,500 rubles. Employees from nearby offices come in for new glasses and compact Guerlain powder for 3,130 rubles, people walking around the center admire the space and collect samples... A serious man in a suit and accompanied by a couple of gloomy friends, climbing to the very top of Buro TSUM, stops to look at a watch or earrings as an evening gift for a woman. Intelligent ladies run upstairs to the Apple department to urgently replace broken AirPods, and at the same time see what they brought from the new Celine. On the second, men of all types and ages hang around, most often accompanied by ladies. But the invisible SOS signals that helpless “hares” and “seals” send into space will not help you avoid trying on some comfortable black jacket with a turn-down collar (Brunello Cucinelli, RUB 361,500) or a Stella McCartney wool sweater (RUB 49,950). ). Some manage to escape and settle down in a restaurant, while the faithful continue their frantic shopping on their own. But there are also guys who look no less dangerous than rapper Face. They carefully look for the hottest items, such as a belt bag with a skull print (Alexander McQueen, RUB 78,600), a black raincoat with a large logo (Valentino, RUB 156,500), and two-tone Jacquemus jeans (RUB 31,850), shimmering like vinyl. , Givenchy leather jacket (RUB 232,500) or combined high-top Fendi sneakers (RUB 87,450). Sometimes you meet women here who choose clothes for themselves - but what’s wrong, men’s clothes often fit much better than women’s, especially when it comes to cashmere and jackets. We rise higher.

Editor-Producer

If, looking at outfits from Roberto Cavalli, you notice a contemptuous look on yourself, almost one hundred percent She will incinerate you. Sometimes it seems that these ladies seem to deliberately stop near the most touching and mothballed things in order to wait for that unfortunate buyer and immediately begin to humiliate them on their Facebook. Check: she will definitely appear, even if you just stand for a few minutes near, for example, a hand-embroidered pale blue lace Valentino for 1,515,000 rubles, worthy of a wedding in Safis or the red carpet of the MIFF.

Okay, just kidding. The editor can be young (in which case, most likely, she either has a short haircut or multi-colored hair) or older, one thing in common is that our ladies are always dressed in black. They drown for the fem agenda, they are found near the Garage center and establishments like the House of Cultures and Blanc. Black flawed ones from Rick Owens are preferred by more experienced editors, while younger ones respect adidas Yeezy boots and shapeless hoodies from Vetemens. They have little money, but their passion for fashion is so great that they come here like others come to church. Don't buy, please. Our fashionable parishioners usually silently iron and touch dresses, jackets and coats with loving hands on the 4th floor in the department assembled under the leadership of Natasha Goldenberg. Sometimes they come to pay homage to Dries van Noten on the 3rd floor and pay tribute to the Saint Laurent and Celine corners. But, most likely, they will settle on the Tribute pendant from Versace for 20,500 rubles (large jewelry is in fashion, and Gianni Versace has never been such a fashion legend as he is now) or some other cute iconic trifle, for example, a leather case for credit cards from Balenciaga for 16,800 rubles. At least something from Demna Gvasalia! Well, or an acid-orange scarf made of wool and silk from Burberry for 26,700 rubles - with the arrival of Riccardo Tisci, the London house turned into one of the most progressive. Or maybe they won’t buy this either, but will take a photo and look for something similar.

Stylist

A lanky grasshopper with thin legs in huge ugly boots walks like a gloomy shadow in all departments. It’s easy to identify him: a small cap on the top of his head (bought in a second-hand shop in Europe), a huge hoodie (merch from an unknown designer with a big brand) and skinny jeans (borrowed from his sister). Always hung with huge bags, backpacks, trunks, branded bags - you just want to feel sorry for him, what holds his soul! But our grasshopper never loses heart, his player plays music from bands with complex names and difficult fates like “The Mare and the Dead-Eyed Toads” or “Home for Autistic Elderly”, his phone has a billion notifications from telegram channels, and his plans for the evening are to discuss with roommate on Patrick's new cover of Interview magazine with RuPaul. If you follow the stylist, you can understand what is most relevant now. For example, wide ruffled leather shorts from Saint Laurent (firstly, a trend, and secondly, the creative director of the brand, Anthony Vacarello, should not be underestimated) for 158,000 rubles. You can invest in things that have a chance to remain iconic. Or a long shirt with a print of an inverted anarchy icon from Vetements for 43,200 rubles - this can be worn to the office with black jeans, and to events. Or those ubiquitous square-toed shoes, like the white Bottega Veneta sandals for RUB 39,950 (from the fall-winter collection, by the way). But if our poor boy suddenly chooses respectable suits for respectable gentlemen or spends a very long time looking at dresses from the “vintage” department, most likely he is simply freelancing for an Instagrammer or a grande dame and her husband.

Grand Dame

She injected Botox and fillers back in the late 1990s, and spent her best years during the rampant 2000s, so our forever young grandmother cannot be helped by any healthy lifestyle, awareness and fashion for sustainable development. Only fur! Gold! Ostrich and alligator skin, hooves and wings of endangered animals. Our lady eats rare steaks for breakfast, can drink at least three bottles of Barolo and then snack on oysters at “Mario” - she was in that “Depot” of yours, what a nightmare: “People eat there right at the market!” Granny takes care of herself, is luxurious, cheerful, ironic and is accustomed to service in Hermes boutiques, so she hangs out in VIP fitting rooms, where she pokes her karate-lined fingers at helpful and humble consultants. More Dolce&Gabbana (a baroque bag for 468,000 rubles and don’t forget something with leopard prints (yes, those Lori ankle boots for 97,300 rubles). And yes, bring something as a gift for your grandchildren, whatever is fashionable there now ?A Saint Laurent triangular pyramid bag and an iridescent fuchsia faux fur cape from Dries van Noten for 42,750 rubles.

Seriously? Well, they have fashion.

Million Dollar Baby

The wealthy babe studies in European colleges, blogs about healthy eating and adores Alessandro Michele. She looks so neat that it becomes boring even before the cutie opens her mouth to talk about modern art and the creative path of producer Drake. The little girl rarely buys clothes for herself in Moscow, but she had to go buy a photo frame from Baccarat as a gift for her friend’s birthday in a strange Happy End bar, and at the same time, why not try on the cool new Gucci Flashtrek sneakers with thick soles for 89,950 rubles? Of course, our fashionista will not miss things in the style of nostalgic Soviet luxury, which Demna constantly broadcasts. Here is a denim skirt made of washed denim (RUB 59,200), like the grandmother’s in the photograph from 1992. Cropped jeans are also a must, for example from Lanvin for 54,000 rubles. And a cool belt bag in orange color and with the Russian inscription “style” from Heron Preston (RUB 23,350). How do we know what she will buy? Of course, from the air on Instagram, but didn’t you have time to connect to streaming?

Instagrammer

And, finally, a normal, beautiful woman. Without all those square-toed shoes and oversized clothes. Everything is simple here: short and transparent. And sprinkled with sparkles, highlighters, rhinestones. In general, you can recognize her presence even with your eyes closed: by the perfume you generously pour on yourself and the special trembling of the atmosphere around you. The women around begin to speak to their companions in suddenly sweeter and more subtle voices and urgently call them to rush a hundred kilometers from Moscow. Men, on the other hand, linger and suddenly discover a passion for shopping. Lips, breasts, legs, hair - there is something to look at, which is why she has millions of followers on Instagram. Where is she from? Unknown. Its name is Legion. And so she stretches out her long legs, trying on Gianvito Rossi leather stilettos for 69,950 rubles with a bracelet strap studded with crystals, and there is silence all around, despite the background music. And you can only hear how loudly the hearts of those around you are beating.

Businesswoman

She has mastered Zen, meditation and all types of relaxation, but she can still be heard from afar: our CEO walks around the 3rd floor and simultaneously makes Skype calls from one phone and answers letters from another. She usually orders everything online, but then the meeting at a nearby restaurant was canceled and she had an extra 40 minutes while the driver was driving. To spend my time more efficiently, I went to buy some jackets and bags. At the same time, you can get the missing 10 thousand steps. She doesn't need help. She herself knows better than anyone what quality the accessories in which she is ready to invest should be. We won’t measure it either; if anything happens, the driver will bring it back and take a smaller size. Those slightly flared large checkered wool trousers by Gabriela Hearst for 93,950 rubles and a jacket from the same ensemble for 157,000 will do. Here is that beige cashmere jacket from Ralph Lauren for 252,000 rubles, a checkered wool coat in the style of the 1980s from Balenciaga (RUB 182,500), small Chloe bag (RUB 78,100) or better Title, Burberry (RUB 72,650) with studs? You can have both, and some other standard one like Sicily from Dolce&Gabbana (RUB 169,000) or Galleria, Prada (RUB 176,500). And shoes. But, unfortunately, time is up, the rest can be ordered online - especially since the shoes definitely need to be tried on, and it’s more pleasant to do this at home in that single hour when a boring qigong teacher just comes to her small studio in an elite residential complex.

Happy mother of beautiful healthy children

A mother from New Riga does not often allow herself to have fun: once a week with the girls karaoke in the center, a couple of times a month trips with her husband to a museum, theater, cinema or fashionable restaurant. Moreover, for her, all these types of leisure are of the same type. A kind of excellent student who carefully wrote out teachers’ assignments at school with multi-colored pens, and now studies magazines and ideal Instagram parents like the wife of rapper Dzhigan Oksana Samoilova. It’s not difficult to identify our beauty, even if she doesn’t have her precious child with her (and if the child is with her, he’s playing quietly in a small cafe next to the toy department). Age - about 30. Hair, most likely, dark (now it’s fashionable), but maybe neat light curls with a barely noticeable shatush. Plump lips, generously lined with a contrasting pencil (it’s not for nothing that she was watching Kylie Jenner’s stories), shaggy, combed eyebrows that never rise, even if our beauty is surprised. A good figure, keeping track of which is a real job. She is dressed a little provincially, with such touching care (like a bag and shoes that match her manicure). But she can also afford a little playful insolence - leggings with a white T-shirt. Most likely, in sneakers, albeit from a big brand and preferably decorated with rhinestones and bright inserts. Rolex Daytona watches, Cartier Love and Geoma Jewelery bracelets with figurines symbolizing children. I came urgently to dress my heirs for school and kindergarten, and at the same time have time to buy myself a dress for September 1, otherwise how would I take a selfie? Perhaps my husband will also get a gift if we try to do everything in time, because our mom’s schedule is strictly structured, at least we need to meet the traffic jams in the region, so now she is walking around the 4th floor in a hysterical fit and trying to urgently collect everything. A tartan jacket for a first-grader daughter from Dolce&Gabbana for 27,550 rubles, a modest blouse with a turn-down collar from Gucci for 23,500 rubles, a short skirt with pintucks from Emporio Armani for 7,895 and a cotton trench coat with a hood from Burberry for 30,400. You also need to choose shoes , boots, backpack and school supplies! And also to my son! He also needs a jacket (ideal from Gucci), chinos (woolen Dolce & Gabbana for 14,600 rubles are suitable), a pullover (the best is the sure-fire Ralph Lauren, for example with an embroidered Polo Bear for 9,525 rubles), shirts, jeans, shoes! Perhaps my husband will manage or get another Loro Piana jumper, for which he will have to shell out 69,200 rubles. How to manage everything? After a couple of hours of frantic shopping, our friend goes to Buro Tsum to complain to her neighbors in the village about her mother’s heavy burden and at the same time discuss whether it was the right decision to buy a plump Puffer Loulou from Saint Laurent for 129,000 rubles or whether it was better to choose something more recognizable, like a bag -Dior saddles?

In contact with

Classmates

Putin's friends, bankers and mountain Jews.

The owners of large shopping centers in Moscow are an extremely motley bunch. Among them you can meet Putin's childhood friends, pop star producers, diamond dealers and similar extraordinary personalities. The Afisha magazine tried to create a register of owners of the capital's largest shopping centers.

Crocus City Mall

A former engineer and trade union worker from Baku, Aras Agalarov, realized in the 90s that computers were the future, and organized a large specialized exhibition. On the wave of success, he built the Crocus Expo exhibition complex and the Your House store on the Moscow Ring Road, which sells salted milk mushrooms and wine cabinets. But what really fascinated him was not furniture, but fashion, so in 2001 he started the pompous “Crocus City Mall” in Myakinino - the developers were twirling their fingers at their temples. He became the first private co-investor of the metro and opened the Myakinino station.

Now Crocus City Mall is managed by Agalarov’s son, Emin, who is married to Leyla Aliyeva, the daughter of the President of Azerbaijan. This is one of the emptiest shopping centers in Moscow and the Moscow region.

In addition, Aras opened several restaurants, including Nobu, a giant Vegas shopping center (480,000 m2) on Kashirka, and, commissioned by the state, a university in Vladivostok. Now he is building a satellite city in Myakinino with 14 skyscrapers and an aquarium.

Metropolis

Now At the beginning of 2013, the company sold Metropolis to the American investment bank Morgan Stanley. Metropolis ranks fifth in terms of attendance in Moscow - more than 55,000 people come to it every day.

In addition, Capital Partners built a lot in Kazakhstan (including an English school), as well as in Miami. The Ritz-Carlton was sold to another Kazakh company and is going to buy the Bolshevik factory.

European

In the early 2000s, the co-owners of the Cherkizovsky market, Mountain Jews God Nisanov and Zarakh Iliev, realized that the time for bazaars was passing.

They decided to build a Western-level shopping center together with a strong partner - Vladimir Putin’s classmate, Azerbaijani Ilgam Ragimov.

Now "European" looks strange from the outside, but inside - five atriums, parking at the top and illogically located exits - an excellent maze for shoppers. It ranks second in the ranking of the most visited shopping centers in the world (140 thousand people per day), second only to the Dubai Mall in the United Arab Emirates.

In addition, Nisanov and Iliev own the Ukraina and Radisson Slavyanskaya hotels, the Sadovod market and other complexes, they will reconstruct the All-Russian Exhibition Center and build a skyscraper in Moscow City.

Okhotny Ryad

For the 850th anniversary of Moscow, Luzhkov decided to improve Manezhnaya Square and build the city's first underground shopping center. This was taken up by the former shareholder of Sobinbank, Alexander Zanadvorov./finance/2089/ In 2005, billboards “Zanadvorov, why do you need an island?”, “Zanadvorov, call Mika”, “ZanadVORov works in the Seventh...”, “ZanadVORov works in the Seventh...” appeared in the center of Moscow. These boards belonged to the company of Umar Dzhabrailov (see also “Roma thinks about the family. The family thinks about Roma”). and were presumably related to Zanadvorov’s plans for Bolotny Island.

Now it was assumed that Okhotny Ryad would house boutiques of great brands. But it turned out that most of the visitors are tourists from the provinces. The owner reduced rates by 15–20%, and the boutiques replaced the more popular Mango, Colin's, Zara and Tvoe.

In addition, Zanadvorov owns the Seventh Continent supermarket chain.

Rio on Dmitrovka

A native of the Armenian city of Tashir, Samvel Karapetyan moved to Kaluga in the early 1990s, where he was engaged in wholesale trade and built department stores. “Rio” made its debut in Moscow at Akademicheskaya, and subsequently at Yerevan Plaza. For “Rio on Dmitrovka” he paved a road bypassing the traffic jam and created the first aquarium in Moscow.

Now Karapetyan solves the problem of Rio's occupancy simply - he rents out the space to himself. The Tashir holding includes the Cinema Star cinema chain, Fashion Alliance, Wild West and others, restaurant chains, cafes and pizzerias.

In addition, Karapetyan created the Tashir Prize for success in Armenian musical culture. The ceremony takes place in the Kremlin, Stas Mikhailov and Enrique Iglesias sing there, and Karapetyan gifts the hosts of the show (say, Ksenia Sobchak) apartments in Yerevan. And in “Rio” a Tajik loader named Jimmy was discovered playing Bollywood pop on a bucket.

TSUM and GUM competed back in Soviet times, now the story continues: GUM is owned by a competing company selling luxury goods - Bosco di Ciliegi. And TSUM was reconstructed by the Mercury company, whose shareholders are Leonid Fridlyand and Leonid Strunin. Mercury is a distributor of Dolce & Gabbana, Rolex, Tiffany & Co., Bentley and other most expensive things in the world.

TSUM has no equal in the country in terms of choice and high cost. Installations by Oleg Kulik and an exhibition by Yoko Ono were shown here. But the provocative advertising campaigns “Who doesn’t wear Prada is a sucker!”, “My light, TSUM, tell me, am I the most fashionable at school?” caused a much greater resonance.

In addition, Mercury owns boutiques in Tretyakovsky Proezd, the Barvikha Luxury Village shopping center on Rublevka and the DLT department store in St. Petersburg.

Golden Babylon

In 2005, the owners of the construction market “Severyanin”, the last name of one of whom was Khikhinashvili, decided to repeat the success of “European”. In 2009, they built the largest shopping center in Europe with an area of 240,000 m2 (however, a year later this status was taken over by the Vegas shopping center). Then they sold Babylon to the Austrian investment company Immofinanz Group.

At the opening of “Babylon” on Mira Avenue, there was a terrible stampede: a video of a crowd of thousands attacking the escalator went viral.

It’s quieter now: due to the strange configuration of the site, the shopping center turned out to be elongated, like a sausage, with a void in the middle. Some of the premises are still empty.

In addition, the Austrians own several “Babylons” and a shopping center in Shchukino, and Khikhinashvili and company own cottages on Rublevka and hotels on Bakhrushina.

Mega Belaya Dacha

Having built IKEA in Khimki and Teply Stan, the Swedes spent a long time looking for a site in the eastern part of the city. In 2003, they even managed to purchase a plot of land near Shchelkovskoye Highway, but it turned out that this land contained nests of rare bird species. Former Minister of Agriculture Viktor Semenov came to the rescue; he suggested that the Swedes build a shopping center on the land of the Belaya Dacha agricultural complex that he owned. IKEA Belaya Dacha became the first store located on one floor. The project turned out to be so successful that it became a standard project for the regional Mega shopping centers in Russia.

The complex's traffic on weekdays is about 40–50 thousand people per day, on weekends – 100–120 thousand people.

Tsvetnoy Central Market

The department store on the site of the Central Market, which had been empty for 20 years, was built - but allegedly wants to be sold - by the development company RGI International (now Rose Group). Kuzinets Founder Boris Kuzinets recently sold his share to Globex Bank structures. In the case of Tsvetnoy, the Moscow authorities showed a rare adherence to principles: the building had to maintain its previous volume and purpose - a collective farm market. This scared many, but Kuzinets came up with an ingenious solution: he built a modern department store, on the top floor of which there was a small farmers’ market.

Now it is the friendliest of Moscow's expensive department stores, which competes with both TsUM and Evropeyskiy.

In addition, Kuzinets is called the father of the “golden mile” - most of the luxury residential buildings on Ostozhenka were built by RGI International.

Afimall City Artists

History AFI Development is owned by the diamond king Lev Leviev - he mines and processes diamonds in Africa, Israel and Russia. Leviev is the president of the Federation of Jewish Communities of the CIS and the head of the Congress of Bukharan Jews of Israel. Initially it was planned that the central core of Moscow City would be a public space with a concert hall, cinemas, hotels, restaurants and an interchange hub for the metro and trains. But for a long time it was not possible to find an investor to implement this project. In 2005, Lev Leviev got down to business, but only created Afimall - an ordinary shopping center, albeit a beautiful one.

For almost a year since its opening, Afimall City enjoyed the reputation of a department store where there were more sellers than buyers: no more than 20,000 people visited it per day. Now, according to department store management, that figure has risen to 50,000 people a day. Among other well-known projects of AFI Development is the Four Winds business center (at the intersection of 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya and Bolshaya Gruzinskaya), which in 2012 was sold to the structures of Roman Abramovich.

Atrium

The construction company Ingeocom was allowed to build a multi-storey parking lot with retail premises near the Kursky railway station, but in the process the parking area was significantly reduced. The building itself has an irregular geometric shape due to the Botkin estate, which stands to the left of the Atrium. In this house, Botkin died of syphilis, which he inoculated himself during a scientific experiment. Later, the reception house of the owner of the Arbat Prestige chain, Vladimir Nekrasov, was located there. In 2000, the snowmobile on which the founder of Ingeocom, Mikhail Rudyak, and actress Marina Levtova were riding, fell into a ravine - Levtova died. After his death in 2007, Engeocom was inherited by his widow and children.

One of the most expensive and successful shopping centers in Moscow, especially popular among young people. Topshop, H&M, Uniqlo - there is no such combination in the center anywhere else. At the beginning, its fame was promoted by the Comedy Club show, which was filmed in the Atrium. Recently, the Atrium has become fashionable - the singer Santigold performs there and contemporary art exhibitions are held.

GUM was opened in 1893. More than a thousand shops operated here. After the revolution, traders were driven out onto the streets, and those in need of housing were housed in shops. In the early 1930s, it was planned to build a building for the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry of the USSR on this site, but the project was not implemented. In 1953, the residents were evicted and GUM was again turned into the country's main department store. In 2004, the founder of Bosco di Ciliegi, Mikhail Kusnirovich, together with his partners, bought the building. Bosco boutiques occupy only a fifth of the department store.

Nowadays, under the roof of GUM, luxury and Soviet style are surprisingly combined: there is “Gastronomy No. 1” and “Dining Room No. 57”. Last year, Kusnirovich restored a historic toilet based on sketches from 120 years ago. Now this is the most expensive toilet in the capital - 85 rubles per visit.

In addition, Kusnirovich is the most media developer in Russia, so the whole country knows about his projects and hobbies - from planting cherry orchards and ice skating to creating clothes for Olympians and music festivals.

Metropolis

History Until recently, Metropolis belonged to the Kazakh company Capital Partners, whose owners are the Turk Burak Oymen and one of the largest developers of Almaty, Serzhan Zhumashov (he is called a relative of the former prime minister of Kazakhstan). They also owned The Ritz-Carlton hotel on Tverskaya. The company's method of demolishing and rebuilding: The Ritz-Carlton was built on the site of the Intourist Hotel, Metropolis grew up on the site of an iron foundry. Now At the beginning of 2013, the company sold Metropolis to the American investment bank Morgan Stanley. Metropolis ranks fifth in terms of attendance in Moscow, with more than 55,000 people visiting it every day. In addition, Capital Partners built a lot in Kazakhstan (including an English school), as well as in Miami.

History In the early 2000s, the co-owners of the Cherkizovsky market, Mountain Jews God Nisanov and Zarakh Iliev, realized that the time for bazaars was passing. They decided to build a Western-level shopping center together with a strong partner, Vladimir Putin’s classmate, Azerbaijani Ilgam Ragimov. Now the European one looks strange from the outside, but inside there are five atriums, parking at the top and illogically located exits - an excellent maze for shoppers. It ranks second in the ranking of the most visited shopping centers in the world (140 thousand people per day), second only to the Dubai Mall in the United Arab Emirates. In addition, they own the Ukraine and Radisson Slavyanskaya hotels, the Sadovod market and other complexes, they will reconstruct the All-Russian Exhibition Center and build a skyscraper in Moscow City.

These shields belonged to the company of Umar Dzhabrailov (see also Roma thinks about the family. The family thinks about Roma). and were presumably related to Zanadvorov’s plans for Bolotny Island. Now it was assumed that boutiques of great brands would be located in Okhotny Ryad. But it turned out that most of the visitors are tourists from the provinces. The owner reduced rates by 1520%, and the boutiques replaced the more popular Mango, Colins, Zara and Tvoe. In addition, Zanadvorov owns the Seventh Continent supermarket chain.

He made his debut in Moscow, Rio on Akademicheskaya, and, subsequently, Yerevan Plaza. For Rio, on Dmitrovka he paved a road bypassing the traffic jam and created the first aquarium in Moscow. Now Rio Karapetyan solves the occupancy problem by simply renting out the space to himself. The Tashir holding includes the Cinema Star cinema chain, Fashion Alliance, Wild West and others, restaurant chains, cafes and pizzerias. In addition, Karapetyan created the Tashir Prize for success in Armenian musical culture.

History In 2005, the owners of the Severyanin construction market, one of whom was named Khikhinashvili, decided to repeat the success of the European one. In 2009, they built the largest shopping center in Europe with an area of 240,000 m2 (however, a year later this status was taken over by the Vegas shopping center). Then they sold Babylon to the Austrian investment company Immofinanz Group. Now, at the opening of Babylon on Mira Avenue, there was a terrible stampede: a video with a crowd of thousands attacking the escalator went viral. It’s quieter now: due to the strange configuration of the site, the shopping center turned out to be elongated, like a sausage, with a void in the middle. Some of the premises are still empty. In addition, the Austrians own several Babylons and a shopping center in Shchukino, and Khikhinashvili and company have cottages on Rublevka and hotels on Bakhrushina.

Mega Belaya Dacha

History Having built IKEA in Khimki and Teply Stan, the Swedes spent a long time looking for a site in the eastern part of the city. In 2003, they even managed to purchase a plot of land near Shchelkovskoye Highway, but it turned out that this land contained nests of rare bird species. Former Minister of Agriculture Viktor Semenov came to the rescue; he suggested that the Swedes build a shopping center on the land of the Belaya Dacha agricultural complex that he owned. IKEA Belaya Dacha became the first store located on one floor. The project turned out to be so successful that it became a standard project for regional Mega shopping centers in Russia. Now the throughput of the complex on weekdays is about 4050 thousand people per day, on weekends 100120 thousand people.

Founder Boris Kuzinets recently sold his share to Globex Bank structures. In the case of Tsvetnoy, the Moscow authorities showed a rare adherence to principles: the building had to maintain the same volume and purpose as a collective farm market. This scared many, but Kuzinets came up with an ingenious solution: he built a modern department store, on the top floor of which there was a small farmers’ market. Now the friendliest of Moscow's expensive department stores, which competes with both TSUM and European. In addition, Kuzinets is called the father of the golden mile; most of the luxury residential buildings on Ostozhenka were built by RGI International.

History AFI Development Company is owned by the diamond king Lev Leviev; he mines and processes diamonds in Africa, Israel and Russia. Leviev is the president of the Federation of Jewish Communities of the CIS and the head of the Congress of Bukharan Jews of Israel.

But for a long time it was not possible to find an investor to implement this project. In 2005, Lev Leviev got down to business, but only made Afimall an ordinary shopping center, albeit a beautiful one. Now Almost a year after the opening, Afimall City enjoyed the reputation of a department store where there were more sellers than buyers: no more than 20,000 people visited it per day. Now, according to department store management, that figure has risen to 50,000 people a day. In addition, among other well-known projects of AFI Development is the Four Winds business center (at the intersection of 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya and Bolshaya Gruzinskaya), which in 2012 was sold to the structures of Roman Abramovich.

History The Ingeocom construction company was allowed to build a multi-storey parking lot with retail premises near the Kursky railway station, but in the process the parking area was significantly reduced. The building itself has an irregular geometric shape due to the Botkin estate, which stands to the left of the Atrium. In this house, Botkin died of syphilis, which he inoculated himself during a scientific experiment. Later, the reception house of the owner of the Arbat Prestige chain, Vladimir Nekrasov, was located there. In 2000, the snowmobile on which Ingeocom founder Mikhail Rudyak and actress Marina Levtova were riding fell into a ravine. Levtova died.

GUM History GUM was opened in 1893. More than a thousand shops operated here. After the revolution, traders were driven out onto the streets, and those in need of housing were housed in shops. In the early 1930s, it was planned to build a building for the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry of the USSR on this site, but the project was not implemented. In 1953, the residents were evicted and GUM was again turned into the country's main department store. In 2004, the founder of Bosco di Ciliegi, Mikhail Kusnirovich, together with his partners, bought the building. Bosco boutiques occupy only a fifth of the department store. Nowadays, under the roof of GUM, luxury and Soviet style are surprisingly combined: there is Gastronome No. 1 and Canteen No. 57. Last year, Kusnirovich restored a historic toilet based on sketches from 120 years ago. Now this is the most expensive toilet in the capital - 85 rubles per visit. In addition, Kusnirovich is the most media developer in Russia, so the whole country knows about his projects and hobbies, from planting cherry orchards and ice skating to creating clothes for Olympians and music festivals.
