Employees of the Amstor supermarket chain are protesting the corporate takeover by Smart Holding. This is evidenced by numerous pickets by the chain's employees and their appeals to all government and law enforcement agencies.
Representatives of Smart Holding attempted to negotiate with AMSTOR employees in Zaporizhzhia. At the meeting, Smart Holding Supervisory Board Chairman Alexey Pertin attempted to convince the Amstor employees of the legality of the corporate raid. This failed. Moreover, according to eyewitnesses, the conversation was quite tense. Pertin acted aggressively, and "it seemed as if he was under the influence," the people said.

After lengthy negotiations in raised voices, the two sides in the conflict still failed to reach a common understanding.
As a reminder, on December 31, 2014, AMSTOR supermarkets in Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Mariupol were seized by unknown individuals in camouflage uniforms. It was later revealed that they represented Smart Holding.
Smart Holding is a company that consolidates assets in the mining and metals industry, shipbuilding, mechanical engineering, and agriculture. The company's owner is Russian oligarch Vadim Novinsky, who was personally presented with a Ukrainian passport by former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. According to the publication's sources, Novinsky also remains a Russian citizen, and his family currently resides there. Top managers of Smart Holding, including Alexey Pertin, also hold Russian passports.
