Detailed interview with Alexey Maralin about the trial with Avito

Alexey Maralin, the founder of the luxury real estate agency (Rostov-on-Don), appealed to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in a dispute with the Avito online platform. The subject of the proceedings is the blocking in March 2024 of his account with 400 ads, which, according to the entrepreneur, was done unreasonably.

This is the fifth judicial instance in this case: arbitration, cassation and now the Supreme Court. Maralin insists that the digital giant's actions are unjustified and discriminatory, and intends to prove that monopolists cannot arbitrarily restrict entrepreneurs' access to platforms.

In his detailed interview, the businessman reveals the details of the process:

The reasons for the blocking, which were announced to him by the site. The strategy of conducting a court case against a large corporation.

The course of previous court sessions.

Their position on the standards of professional partnerships in the market.

Maralin's story goes beyond a particular case, raising questions about the responsibility of digital platforms and the protection of the rights of their users. The full version of the interview is available on video platforms:
