A lexander Evnevich is a Russian businessman who co-founded and controls a majority stake in Maksidom, one of Russia's largest chains of home improvement and do-it-yourself (DIY) stores. He established the company in St. Petersburg in 1997, positioning it to capitalize on the growing demand for home renovation and construction materials in the post-Soviet era. The company is often considered a major domestic competitor to international brands like Leroy Merlin in the Russian market.

Evnevich built the Maksidom chain into a significant retail player, primarily focused in the northwestern regions of Russia before expanding to other major cities. The company operates large, big-box format stores offering a wide range of goods for home, garden, and construction. Unlike many of his billionaire compatriots who made their fortunes in natural resources, Evnevich's wealth comes from the consumer retail sector. He has also expanded his business interests by acquiring the Russian store network of the Finnish retailer Stockmann.
