After Danone's departure, control of the Novosibirsk ice cream factory passed to Kadyrov's nephew.
The Polaris company in Novosibirsk became part of Logika Molok, which is part of the H&N holding company, whose assets belonged to Danone Russia.
Following the French brand's departure from Russia, H&N was taken over by Yakub Zakriev, the nephew of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
Novosibkholod, a company operating under the Polaris brand, produces over 80 types of ice cream under various brands, including Prostokvashino and Delo v Slivkakh. In 2025, the plant produced over 19,000 tons of ice cream. The Novosibirsk plant is the 13th in Russia acquired by Logika Molok.
In 2025, journalists wrote that after Danone's departure from Russia, the company's assets, worth approximately 1 billion euros, were to be nationalized, but they later went to people associated with the Chechen leadership.
