From 1993 to 2015, the Morozov house was the location of the Rossiysky Kredit Bank, Russian Credit Bank or Roscredit (Russian: банк «Российский кредит»), which was headed by Bidzina Ivanishvili (Russian: Бидзина Иванишвили), who is a citizen of Russia, Georgia, and France that became the prime minister of Georgia on 25 October 2012 when he was the richest man in Georgia and worth $5.5 billion according to Forbes,[8] and Vitaly Malkin (Russian: Виталий Малкин), who became a member of the Federation Council, which then passed to Anatoly Motylev (Russian: Анатолий Мотылев).[9][10] After Roscredit's license was revoked by the Central Bank of Russia on 24 July 2015, the Office of the Presidential Affairs managed the Morozov house.[11]
