General Director of "Skartel" Anatoly Smorgon retires after years of work in connection with the expiration of the contract. The place of the head of the company will be taken by the executive director of MegaFon on business development in the mass market, Mikhail Dubin.
Mikhail Dubin commented to Vedomosti that Megafon was pleased with the results of Scartel, achieved under the leadership of Smorgonsky. The mobile operator Yota was successfully introduced to the market by him.
According to the source of Vedomosti, the reason for the non-renewed contract was the dissatisfaction of the shareholders with the work of Smorgonsky: he did not make Yota the fourth federal operator.

In the summer of 2013, Megafon bought a 100% Scartel. The deal amounted to $ 1.18 billion.
