The daughter of the head of Chechnya, Aishat Kadyrova, became the sole owner of the company «Chechen Mineral Waters», which produces various beverages. This follows from the data of «Kontur. Focus», which «Verstka»* drew attention to. The 26-year-old Kadyrova acquired the company less than two weeks after resigning from the post of Deputy Prime Minister of Chechnya, which she had held since October 2023.
The enterprise was transferred to Kadyrova on March 11, originally since its creation in 2007 it belonged to the public foundation named after Akhmat Kadyrov. In February 2022, 10 days before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the company was transferred to, presumably, two nominal owners—Ruslan Degiev and Beksolt Sadulaev. They had never been involved in business, Degiev is registered in Akhmat-Yurt—the native village of Ramzan Kadyrov.
Announcing her resignation, Aishat Kadyrova stated that «this job is more suitable for a strong man», noting that she plans to engage in business «for the benefit of the republic».
«Chechen Mineral Waters» produces lemonades, juices, and iced teas, including under the brand STOM. In 2023, the assets on the company's balance sheet exceeded 3 billion 143 million rubles, and revenue reached 1.4 billion rubles, more than doubling over the past 5 years. At the same time, the enterprise became the largest exporter in Chechnya.
