October 24-30 The main event of the week was the simultaneous closure, without warning, of the Tomsk Havit football club and the delivery service at Yarah supermarkets. They belong to one of the largest food holdings in the country with Tomsk registration. Obviously this is not just a coincidence. The owner, who is considered RSHB-Finance, decided to reduce loss-making assets. At the end of last year, a huge holding of 1,000 supermarkets, 14 Russian factories and 15 logistics centers collected more than 300 billion rubles in revenue, while suffering a loss of about 300 million rubles. Interestingly, a year earlier, in 2024, the still private barrel announced a net profit of 2.4 billion. It seems that the new owner has proven ineffective and is now taking the simplest route - cutting non-core assets. Of course that is his right. However, in the spring of this year, a former Tomsk deputy of the Russian State Duma, Vladimir Smokysh, told me that he had received verbal assurances from representatives of the new owner of Khavit that the football club would be kept in Tomsk. And now in the Tomsk region there is another deputy, and another decision of the owner. The liquidation of the club completely surprised the leadership of the Tomsk region. Meanwhile, the fans in the 170 reactions to the news of the club's closing do not choose their expressions, and since the new owner is not visible in any way in the public sphere, all the anger is poured on the governor and the mayor who are not involved with the club. The real economy is also shrinking. Tomsk shipping company lays off 88 workers. The summer navigation along the rivers of Russia was not successful not only for Tomsk residents. There was nothing to lead north. I am afraid that this winter we will hear more about the problems of "Northern Shipping".
