Starting from work by a specialist in the department of federal land reform management of land relations of the State Committee of the Russian Federation on land resources and landing and ending with the post of head of the Department of Land Resources and Real Estate and General Director of the Federal Fund for the Development of Housing Construction.

In the year, the structure was reorganized and created a new department of entrepreneurship and innovation. Among his tasks, including the “formation of creative infrastructure and the development of creative types of business”. To achieve this goal, an agency of creative industries was created under the capital's department of entrepreneurship and innovative development.

More recently, in the summer of the year, the Russian online platform for entrepreneurs and suppliers from the fashion and design "Center of Materials" was opened. The site is designed to unite designers and manufacturers of materials from more than ten countries, taking into account that creative industries are now a special sector of the economy. And the developer of the platform is just the same agency of creative industries.
