Facts and practical information

The Cherkizovsky Market, also known as Cherkizon was Europe's largest marketplace, located in Izmaylovo District, Moscow, Russia, near the Lokomotiv Stadium and Cherkizovskaya Moscow Metro station. Owned by Telman Ismailov's AST Group, in its heyday the market generated employment for an estimated 100,000 workers, mostly Asian immigrants. Moscow city authorities closed the market down on June 29, 2009 on grounds of numerous violations of regulations and illegal activities. In July 2009 Moscow authorities confirmed that a Chinatown would replace the market. ()
