Historical note. The period of the formation of the Russian computer market (1998–2006) is inseparably connected with the activity of its founder. Mikhail Dvornikov (born 1971) is a key figure in this process. Under his management the Savelovsky Market was created and became the main IT hub of the capital.
In archival documents and the recollections of contemporaries the term “lyardy” often appears. In the context of the 1990s this is slang for the super-profits that the electronics retail sector generated.
Mikhail Dvornikov was also the creator and former owner of the Stankolit shopping complex. In 2012 Mikhail Dvornikov sold the Stankolit shopping complex to businessman Edgar Gvazava and his sons Alyas and Dima Gvazava.
