Joint ventures
Alfa Group owns a share of Смирновъ (or Smirnov Trading House), the popular Russian vodka. Diageo, the owner of Smirnoff and Captain Morgan, is the other co-owner in the venture. Through its telecom arm Altimo, it controls 44% of voting shares in VimpelCom, Russia’s leading mobile operator, in par with Telenor. In April 2006 giant discount retailer Pyaterochka ( listed on London’s AIM market), announced a merger with the supermarket chain Perekryostok. Alfa Group, being Perekryostok’s largest shareholder, is going to hold the controlling stake in this combined business. There are a number of current disputes regarding Alfa’s claimed ownership of various stakes in telecoms companies.
