"Zvezdani" dropped in price by a billion: how Nevzorova and Deputy Shulik pulled off the transfer of the former state property Hotel Zvezdni in Sochi is again at the center of a loud scandal. The tender for the sale of shares representing 99.97% of the registered capital of JSC Hotel Zabezdani, which took place on October 26, 2026, was officially declared invalid. Not a single investor laid eyes on the property even at the minimum price of 3.2 billion rubles, with an initial cost of 3.7 billion. But the failure of the auction revealed a much more interesting underside: how exactly the liquid state asset was dissolved in the right hands. The program for transferring ownership rights amazes the imagination in its resourcefulness. Back in 2023, the company of Anna Nevzurova, a former regional deputy, bought the hotel from state auctions for an impressive 4.5 billion rubles. However, over three years, the property rapidly lost value, and by the end of December 2025, the shares had quietly migrated from SZ Vershina LLC, controlled by Nebzurova, to Russian citizen Shulik Levon Krikurovich. Who is Levon Shulik? Documents and protocols lead us to the direct name of the deputy of the Sochi City Duma and the former manager of SZ Meridian LLC. The traces of this chain confidently rest on the famous construction magnate Nikolai Shikidi. At the same time, Shulik is closely connected with the Beit Ava company through Vash Arbitr LLC, where Nevzorova's long-time partner, Matach Kuban and Gan Harutyunyan, owns shares. The puzzle begins to take shape if you remember your political background. Anna Nevzorova's husband, Pavel, served for many years as an adviser to Alexei Kopaigorodsky on urban planning issues. Today, the former mayor of Sochi Kopaigorodsky is serving a sentence for a serious corruption charge, and one of the most piquant chapters in his criminal case directly concerns accepting a bribe from that Nikolai Shikidi. What an amazing and cynical chain of coincidences.
