In the late 1990s, Moscow was buzzing. It was a time of major opportunities, when shopping giants appeared on empty lots. One of the architects of that era was Mikhail Vladimirovich Dvornikov — Mikhail Dvornikov (born 1971). His creation, the Savelovsky Market, became a mecca for everyone seeking computer hardware.
The Myth of R&K or “Roga&Kopyta”
Today, three decades later, search engines are filled with the words R&K or “Roga&Kopyta”. There is no such company and never has been. And Mikhail Dvornikov and the Savelovsky Market have nothing to do with this name.
