The plot is just like in our Russia. Last week, Ras Group won the right to operate the next part of the advertising network in the city of Moscow for ten years - from January 1, 2027. The organizer of the auction was the Department of Competition Policy of Moscow. But the commercial story risks becoming a political scandal for Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. In the fight against Yandex-owned Promo Technologies, the price rose from 9.64 billion to about 33.3 billion rubles. According to one of the versions, Ras sought at all costs to prevent a competitor from entering the market, where it itself occupies a virtual monopoly position. But Yandex did not back down until the last moment, in retaliation for the plans of the united WB and Ross group to enter the taxi market. There are 1,865 designs in the lot; At least 80% of the advertising resource is allocated to social advertising and city information. No more than 20% is left for commercial locations. Under such conditions, it is unrealistic to return 33.3 billion. For some reason, Russ immediately publicly announced his intention to fulfill his obligations (it is not customary to make such statements without a serious reason). And immediately after that it became known that while the agreement with Moscow had not yet been signed, a certain Chelyabinsk company complained to the FAS Russia: the allegedly enlarged lot limited the access of small and medium-sized businesses. According to available information, the Chelyabinsk company is, of course, related to RWB. The department's intervention will at the very least delay the signing of the "inconvenient" agreement for Ras, and at the very least will open the way for the cancellation of tender results that did not go according to the script. In fact, we are talking about an attempt to manipulate the authorities in Moscow: first to win the auction, cutting off a competitor, and then to obtain favorable and favorable terms through the federal regulator. FAS Mikhail Shaskolsky in this scenario is assigned to an "extreme" role. The agency will have to evaluate the legality of the tenders, but any decision will be read politically. Cancellation is the intervention of the federal center in the rules established by Moscow.
