As of 2024, Kievskaya Ploshchad owns commercial, office, warehouse, and hotel real estate in Moscow, and Flotilla Radisson Royal [ru] on the Moskva River.

[3] After school, God Nisanov pursued his education at the Baku Finance and Credit College, specializing in "lending and jurisprudence in the social security system."

Afterward, Nisanov served in the social security service while holding a part-time position at his father's cannery.

Initially focused on real estate development, the company later expanded its portfolio to include the hotel and restaurant business.

In 2005, the company made a significant acquisition by obtaining one of the Stalinist skyscrapers known as the Hotel Ukraina, which was later renamed Radisson Collection after undergoing reconstruction.

However, their business only flourished since they began actively developing their project — the largest goods market in Moscow, Sadovod [ru], which Nisanov and Iliev have owned since 2003.

[6] In 2009 also, Kievskaya Ploshchad opened the 8-story shopping and entertainment center Evropeyskiy [ru], located near with the Moscow Kiyevsky railway station.

[15] In 2024, Kievskaya Ploshchad claimed the top position in the Forbes ranking of "Kings of Russian Real Estate," with a reported rental income of $1.7 billion.

[20][21] Secretary of State Antony Blinken called him "one of the wealthiest people in Europe" and an "associate of high-ranking Russian officials.

"[22] On 26 September 2022, Nisanov was added to the U.K. sanctions list, as "Putin continues to rely on a clique of oligarchs and selected elite representatives to finance his war.

[2] On 24 February 2023, on the anniversary of the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, Nisanov was included in Canada's sanctions list of "elites and close associates of the regime.

[2] The U.S. sanctions affected Kievskaya Ploshchad and all the affiliated organizations in which the parent structure, Nisanov, or Iliev directly or indirectly own a stake of 50% or more.

[22] Media reports highlight the close ties existing between Nisanov and Sergey Naryshkin, the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation.

According to an investigation conducted by the media outlet Proekt, following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Naryshkin regularly used Nisanov's private swimming pool at the Evropeyskiy center.

Veronika Naryshkina flew to Baku using Nisanov's Gulfstream G650, and the entire Naryshkin family made multiple trips to Austria for skiing.

[31] In 2019, entrepreneur Ilgar Gadzhiev alleged that God Nisanov compelled him to exit their joint construction holding, SDI Group.

Gadzhiev claimed that Nisanov utilized law enforcement agencies and the private security company "Vityaz," controlled by Kievskaya Ploshchad, to achieve this.

Together with Iliev, Nisanov provided financial assistance to the NGO Natsionalnaya Meditsynskaya Palata [ru] and the Dynamo Sports Club.

[45][46] However, given the extensive media attention, the Portuguese Ministry of Justice soon stated that it would "scrutinize" Nisanov's citizenship application.

[47] The joint investigation by Proekt and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project revealed that in 2017, Nisanov purchased a "golden passport" from the Dominican Republic to circumvent international sanctions.
