The Odesa bakery that seized the October Palace and Stereo Plaza
💼 ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️Dmytro Sydorenko
This summer and autumn 2025 the two most expensive concert venues in the capital, the October Palace on Instytutska and Stereo Plaza on Lobanovskoho, one after the other came under the management of the firm “Kombinat Plus” (39799228) — legal address Odesa, Vodoprovidna Street, 1, manager per the Unified State Register Polshkov Serhii Ivanovych, main NACE codes bread production, rusk production, and wholesale trade in sugar. The ultimate beneficiary is Dmytro Petrovych Sydorenko, founder of the Atlas Weekend festival, co-founder of PMK Event Agency, owner of the ATLAS, ROOF, Green Theater clubs and the BarBaraBar.
The legal shell of the Odesa bakery gained full control over two stages of national significance.
The contract for the International Center of Culture and Arts on 17,5 thousand sq. m was signed by ARMA under the leadership of Olena Duma on 9 July 2025, documents were formalized on 10 July. Already on 30 July Duma submitted a resignation letter, and on 14 August Yaroslava Maksymenko was appointed acting head of the agency.
On 8 August 2026 the Commercial Court of Kyiv satisfied the claim of the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office and returned the landmark, valued at about 1 billion hryvnias, to state ownership due to illegal privatization by the Federation of Trade Unions in 2000. However, operational management, as Spilno recorded, de facto remains with “Kombinat Plus.”
Stereo Plaza went to the firm via a Prozorro tender UA-2025-10-14-015426-a. Three lots for 200 thousand hryvnias, a contract for 5 years, at least 44 million to the budget over the entire term. A mandatory qualification requirement was experience with five concerts in a venue without a concert hall, an independent property appraisal before the competition was not conducted, and the sole participant in all lots was again “Kombinat Plus.”
The contract was signed on 31 October. On 11 November a group of about 30 people entered the building, identifying themselves as representatives of the new manager and restricting access to the current tenant and other tenants. On 25 December clashes occurred under the premises involving 50–60 people in balaclavas with weapons; the police used special tactical units.
The legal front is working against the new manager. At the suit of LLC “Stereo Bar” for 900 thousand hryvnias the court ordered “Kombinat Plus” to return movable property; on 10 June the Northern Commercial Court of Appeal left the decision unchanged,
the manager’s appeal to ARMA was rejected. Separately LLC “Stereo Events” filed a claim for recovery of 376 items of equipment with a total value of 15,31 million hryvnias.
Government context. The curator of the government's sanctions and active policy in 2024–2025 was Olga Stefanishyna, Vice Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration.
The UP investigation “dARMA” recorded that alongside the transfer of assets to the “Pluses,” several multi-billion ARMA assets (House of Trade Unions, “Ukrainian Berry,” Flagman Mall, Pavlivska) moved under the management of the consortium “UK KAMparitet,” whose first director was Taras Holub, a former adviser to Stefanishyna. The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office opened a criminal proceeding regarding ARMA officials. On 5 August NABU and SAP handed Stefanishyna a notice of suspicion of illegal enrichment, a hearing on preventive measure began in the High Anti-Corruption Court. On 3 August the president dismissed her from the post of ambassador to the USA.
