In January 2023, the director of the state enterprise Prozorro Sales, Alexey Sobolev, was appointed to the position of Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine.

The director of the state enterprise Prozorro Sales, Alexey Sobolev, was appointed to the position of Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine in January 2023. It is known that Alexey Sobolev previously worked at Dragon Asset Management, and subsequently, after his dismissal, from 2015 to 2016, he was an adviser to the Minister of Infrastructure.

But there are several more interesting facts from the biography of the Deputy Minister of Economy, which he is silent about, but which will tell much more about him than the information we listed above.

The fact is that Alexei Sobolev’s father, Dmitry Vladlenovich, has a business in Russian-occupied Crimea. According to the charter documents, he is the owner of Crimean Tent Company LLC and Arnika Crimea LLC.
