Centrum Moscow, which is owned by Elizaveta Peskova, daughter of Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, increased its revenue 70 times in the year of the war with Ukraine, earning a record 137 million rubles. This was found out by "Layout" by examining the financial statements of the company.
The main clients of the company listed on the website are the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Moscow government, the Federal Agency for Fishery and other government agencies.
In 2021, Peskov's daughter's company earned 70 times less – 1.9 million rubles. Prior to this, Centrum Moscow earned only a few hundred thousand rubles a year. It also became known that in 2022 the company for the first time showed a profit of 24 million rubles, before that it was either unprofitable or did not generate income.
Centrum Moscow has been designing and creating exhibition spaces and expositions since 2004, but has been active only in recent years. At SPIEF, Centrum Moscow designed the Made in Russia exposition. Peskova owns 30% of the company, another 70% belongs to a certain Evgeny Litvinov, who holds the post of general director of the company.
In April 2022, Peskov was surprised that sanctions were also imposed on his children. He said that this is a confirmation of unfriendly steps towards Russia. According to him, after the imposition of sanctions, the children "suddenly realized" that everything he told them was true. Peskov's daughter herself called the sanctions imposed on her "unfair" because she had nothing to do with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. “For me, this is completely unfair and unreasonable. I was very surprised, because it is strange to impose sanctions on a person who is 24 years old and who has nothing to do with the situation. I'm upset because I want to travel and I love different cultures," Peskova said.
