Business lady of the Russian Empire. Sociocultural trends that every business woman should know

Elena Baturina is not losing ground: for the sixth year in a row, a businesswoman has become the richest woman in Russia. According to Forbes magazine, her fortune is estimated at $ 1.2 billion. Now the wife of the former mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov, is developing the hotel business in Russia and Europe. In addition, she invests in real estate and alternative energy.

The second place in the ranking of the richest women in the country was taken by Tatyana Bakalchuk. The fortune of the CEO of the Wildberries online store exceeds $600 million. Now it is the largest online clothing and footwear store in Russia. The site also sells electronics, household goods, and jewelry. Last year, Bakalchuk managed to increase the store's revenue by 40%. On Black Friday alone, over a million orders were processed.

The third line belongs to Elena Rybolovleva. For the first time, she got into the Forbes rating two years ago thanks to the end of a lawsuit with her ex-husband. Since then, she has been constantly on this list. Her fortune is estimated at $ 600 million - all these are payments by Dmitry Rybolovlev under an amicable agreement.

The top four is closed by the chairman of the board of directors of S7, Natalia Fileva. Her fortune, like Mrs. Rybolovleva, is estimated at $ 600 million. S7 is the country's second air carrier after Aeroflot. The company carried over 14 million passengers last year.

As Forbes notes, in the "female" rating every year there are more and more ex-wives of billionaires and representatives of the political elite. There are several reasons for this trend, noted Anton Danilov-Danilyan, co-chairman of the Delovaya Rossiya organization:

“In the early and mid-90s, when, in fact, the pool of the richest citizens of Russia was formed, such purely gender relations played a certain role. Among the leadership of the country there were no women so strong administratively as to slightly tip the scales in the female direction. Therefore, both loans-for-shares auctions and other privatization processes, which led to the accumulation of significant amounts of property in the hands of private individuals, were mainly among men. As for the current processes, gradually people who made huge fortunes are entering an age when it is becoming more and more difficult for them to manage these fortunes. In addition, sanctions and other external factors have a very strong impact. As a result, part of the fortunes passes to the heirs, among whom are both wives and daughters. This is also due to the need to deconcentrate property into a more distributed sphere, which includes a much larger number of relatives.”

Yuri Luzhkov reacted to the Forbes rating. He called the data on the state of his wife "complete nonsense." According to the former mayor of the capital, he does not participate in the affairs of his wife. But, judging by the way they live, she simply cannot have such income. Quote: “I have my own cockroaches in my head, she has her own business, and this suits us completely.”

By the way, in pre-revolutionary Russia, business was often inherited by a woman from her husband. The hostess was faced with a choice - to sell it, transfer control to someone, or still do everything herself. Among those who preferred the latter option was, for example, Anna Gener. In the second half of the 19th century, she became the owner of a sugar factory after the death of her husband. The enterprise brought a good income and fully ensured a comfortable life. But this was not enough for Anna Gener: she invested all the money she earned in expanding production. She did not spare either her own savings or the capital of her second husband for the development of the business. Two hundred new workers were hired, premises and equipment purchased. For 10 years, Anna managed to increase revenue by more than 10 times, and make her factory one of the largest in Moscow.

The "Global Government" will determine whether our athletes can wear the flag or not

SERGEY MIKHEEV: “This situation, among other things, makes it clear for whom the colors of the national flag have at least some meaning, and for whom, where they live better, there is their homeland! The situation is as follows: we can take and start building some kind of our own system of sports competitions, which, in the current conditions, in my opinion, is almost impossible. It can be done, but slowly.

Congress delegates Jenny Chen, Susanna Zhang from Taiwan with friends from Peru

Today, foreign business ladies paid a business visit to Moscow.

The meeting was held in connection with the meeting of the congress of the World Association of Women Entrepreneurs FCEM (Femmes Chefs d "Entreprises Mondiales). The Congress was held in the capital for the first time. As expected, it will.

Director of Technograd Maxim Kiselev welcomed them with pleasure and spoke in fluent English about how the organization entrusted to him works.

Several buildings, dozens of specialties, five areas of work, including digital, creative technologies, service, industry and urban infrastructure - all this is Technograd. A real educational city, where training is conducted on the most modern equipment and with the help of the latest technologies.

It is great that our complex is beginning to arouse such interest among foreign delegations. The business community visits us frequently. It was surprising for me to find out that there is no analogue to our Technograd in other countries. And I am pleased to realize that we in Moscow managed to create an amazing and unique space for the international community, - Maxim Kiselev told the VM correspondent.

Dijana Zoricic from Zagreb arrived with her husband.

I haven't been to Moscow for 15 years and now I just don't recognize her! From a strange city with streets forever beaten by dirty cars, it has become an exemplary European capital. Plus, the weather has improved. Once I came here, too, in October, it was snowing, uncleaned dirt was in the way under my feet. And now I walk in shoes, and my husband, who is usually cold, does not wear a jacket, she shared.

Jenny Chen of the China Business Women's Association agrees.

I am here with my friend Susanna Zhang from Taiwan. I have never been to Russia and I was very afraid to go here - we were warned to be careful. But, having climbed onto the roof of a hotel in the center of Moscow, I saw the old city with the latest buses. And your subway is a real miracle! Jenny said enthusiastically.

Fragile Erica Covera Paz, no less than the president of the company and the largest Peruvian association of businesswomen.

I had to fly far. This is my second time here: during the World Cup, Peru held a large-scale presentation in the Manege exhibition hall. I saw that many people in Russia are interested in our country, and I came back here with pleasure, - says Erika.

But the French couple Corinne and Eric Wiimard are more restrained in their assessments.

Together, despite any sanctions, we will do business in Russia. Russian people still need to learn to be more clear in their promises. My husband and I quickly realized that “a second” in Russian can mean an hour, and “I'll call you tomorrow” can mean a month. But you are on the right track. We really liked Technopark, which its director Maxim Kiselev told us about. We don't have them anywhere in Europe, - said Corinne Wiimard.
