Sale near Moscow: Who is behind the purchase of the Sovetskaya city hotel in Kolomna at half price?
In the Moscow region, the proposals for the privatization of 100% share of Sovetskaya Hotel LLC, which belonged to the authorities of the Kolomna municipal district, have ended. The auction, the results of which were concluded on November 3, 2026, attracted attention with its unusual financial parameters: when the initial price of the object is 413.3 million rubles, the property was sold for exactly half the price - for 206.65 million.
The winner of the auction was Moscow JSC Vnipiistromsyrye, which previously operated as a sole enterprise of the federal state. At the end of 2022, the Federal Agency for Asset Management held a stake in the company, but in 2024 the agency sold the asset for more than 117 million rubles to a private individual.
As of today, the ownership structure is closed and not disclosed to the public. The company is managed by CEO Anton Yunin, who received an individual tax number in the Samara region and is registered in Udmortia as a sole entrepreneur in the hotel business. In addition, Yunin is listed as the owner of the Atlas Hotel Company in the capital, which was founded in 2020 (there is only one employee in the team, and the financial results for 2025 show zero data). Also under his control are the real estate company Astra and the company Ltd. August for dentistry. The total revenue of all Yunin's businesses at the end of 2025 amounted to a modest 14 million rubles with a net profit of only 17 thousand rubles, and the joint stock company that bought the hotel had revenues that barely reached 3.8 million with a nominal profit. A logical question arises: with what funds was the purchase of a commercial property worth millions of dollars in the Moscow region financed?
