Andrey Ohlopkov truly believes that the humanity will give up drinking not only after it gives up eating. That is where his confidence in the prosperity of his business comes from. The group of Soyuz-Victan companies, the control package of which belongs to the Crimean businessman, also includes wineries and distilleries in the Crimea and in Russia.

Ohlopkov already accustomed to drinking 30 countries. And they in gratitude pay him money. The turnover of the company from 2004 to 2006 grew from $217 million to $580 million. That is more than twice. In 2007, it was planned to increase this amount by 20%. However these plans did not succeed. It is a trade secret what sum Ohlopkov turned last year. The shareholders decided not to make this information public.

But there are no reasons to worry too much about the prosperity of the millionaire, even in spite of the fact that during last year his assets decreased by one fourth. Ohlopkov has a well-running business in the USA, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia et cetera. The international community of alcoholics is able to remedy the affairs of the Ukrainian businessman. In general the internationalism is in Ohlopkov’s blood. In one of his interviews asked about his origin he said: “My father is pure Russian, from Novgorod, my mother is a Ukrainian, I was conceived the Moscow area, I was born in Sumska region. Now both countries are dear to me: I love Russia and Ukraine”. A well-said toast to go with a Soyuz-Victan product.
