CRIMEAN ASSETS ACQUIRED BY RUSSIANS SINCE 2014

After the annexation of Crimea, the peninsula's prized resources were identified and distributed among Russian oligarchs with connections to the Russian President, handing out everything from wine vineyards to hockey clubs to steelworks. Nationalization began in Crimea immediately after the annexation. Ukrainian state property became Russian, or rather Crimean, according to a resolution entitled “On the issues of managing the property of the Republic of Crimea.” The list of what was taken over is still growing. It includes thousands of businesses, apartments and land plots. The actual owners received no compensation, and any attempts to file lawsuits in Russia were in vain. In Crimea, the courts did not accept a single document on the right of ownership from people. Part of the seized property was put up for privatization. Between 2014 and 2022, there were 967 tenders in Crimea. More than €350 million worth of property (the total starting value) was sold there.

In addition to production facilities, Massandra owns about 10,000 hectares of land and the world's largest collection of wines, listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
