Megapolis, the company established by retail magnate Igor Kesaev and his partner Sergei Katsiev, controls 70% of Russia's cigarette market.

In 2019, he merged his Dixy supermarket chain with a chain of alcohol stores Krasnoe & Beloe to create one of the largest retailers in Russia. He founded Mercury, which began as a food and alcohol importer, in 1991. Kesaev was sanctioned by EU and U.K. in April 2022
