A lexander Linnik, along with his twin brother Viktor, co-founded and owns Miratorg, one of Russia's largest and most dominant agricultural holdings. The brothers have been at the forefront of Russia's drive for food self-sufficiency, building a massive, vertically integrated enterprise that has become the country's number one producer of pork and beef.

Miratorg's business model covers the entire production cycle, from crop farming to produce its own animal feed, to livestock breeding, meat processing, and even its own branded retail network. The company is particularly known for its large-scale production of Aberdeen Angus beef. The Linnik brothers have benefited significantly from Russian government subsidies aimed at boosting domestic food production and from the import substitution policies enacted after 2014. They have transformed the Russian agricultural landscape, creating a modern, industrial-scale food giant.
