The senator and ex-head of the CBD became a co-owner of “Tasty – period”

Member of the Federation Council, former head of Kabardino-Balkaria, billionaire Arsen Kanokov has a stake in the chain of cafes “Vkusno – period”, created on the basis of the American McDonald’s, which left the Russian Federation after the start of the “SVO”.
 
After the closure of McDonald’s in Russia, the little-known businessman Alexander Govor was announced as the formal owner of the restaurants. The publication “Project” (a foreign agent, an undesirable organization) studied the annual reports of “Tasty – period” and came to the conclusion that the businessman had partners. Among them are members of the board of directors Oleg Eskindarov and Yegor Solomatin - respectively the president and vice-president of the Sindika holding, which was founded by Arsen Kanokov.

After the start of the “special operation,” Kanokov’s companies also received shares in the Starbucks and OBI divisions that left the Russian Federation. According to the “Project”, people from Kadyrov’s circle – Valid Korchagin (presumably a relative of State Duma deputy Adam Delimkhanov) and Sergei Kropachev – participated in these transactions together with Kanokov.
