About Sergei Katsiev
Sergei Katsiev, partner of billionaire Igor Kesaev, made his fortune in tobacco after the fall of the Soviet Union.
From 1991 to 1993, he worked in the government trade mission to the Netherlands.
When he returned to Russia, he headed Mercury Tobacco Corporation, an importer of tobacco products owned by Kesaev.
In 1998 Katsiev founded his own company, Megapolis, which also sold tobacco products.
