From Nevzurova to Shihidi's people: failed auctions revealed secret change in ownership of Sochi Zvezdny Hotel October 26, 2026 Another attempt to sell 99.97% of the shares of Sochi JSC Hotel Zvezdny failed. There were no people willing to purchase the property even after the initial price of 3.7 billion rubles was lowered to a minimum of 3.2 billion. It is worth noting that the property is becoming cheaper: in 2023, the friend of the former Cuban member of parliament Anna Nevzurova bought the former state facility at auction for 4.5 billion rubles. However, the main feeling of the failed tender lies elsewhere. The documentation revealed that in 2026 the hotel quietly changed its owners: from SZ Vershina LLC (controlled by Nevzorova), the shares were transferred to Levon Krikurovich Shulik. The character of the new owner is very interesting. This is the full name of the deputy of the Sochi City Duma and the former head of SZ Meridian LLC, whose ultimate beneficiary is Nikolai Shikidi. In addition, through Vash Arbiter LLC, Shulik has connections with the Beit Ava company, which holds the famous key in Cuba and is a long-time partner of Nevzorova and Gan Harutyunyan. The criminal and political context gives special attention to this non-public transfer of assets. Anna Nevzorova's husband, Pavel, was for a long time an urban planning consultant to the former mayor of Sochi Alexei Kopaigorodsky. Now the former mayor has been convicted of corruption charges, and one of the chapters in his criminal case is accepting a bribe from Nikolai Shichidi. The circle is closed.
