The Moscow city government has decided to auction a 64 percent stake in Olimpiisky Sports Complex, Deputy Mayor Natalya Sergunina said in comments carried by Interfax.
"There are plans to offer for sale a consolidated stake in Olimpiisky Sports Complex in the amount of 64 percent. The tentative timing for holding the auction is the end of the second quarter of 2013," Sergunina said at the MIPIM international commercial real estate fair in Cannes last week.
She also said the city was considering selling large stakes in the Bitsa Equestrian Center, the Moscow United Energy Company and the Moscow Pipe-Coating Plant, in which it owns 100 percent, 89.94 percent and 100 percent stakes, respectively.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
