## History[edit]

An idea of creating of the project group (later - Universal Commerce Group) belongs to Ukrainian entrepreneur and businessman Gennadiy Vasyukov[2].

In 2012, to implement the idea, it was decided to merge with the Investment fund Maxima Group (later Noosphere), that was managed an all-Ukrainian information online catalogue of goods and services Price.ua[3] , as well as services Avtomax.ua and Krysha.ua (search engines for cars and real estate) at that time.

In 2012, Andrey Bronetsky, General manager of the popular dating websites Mamba.ru, joined the UCG Supervisory board Members Committee. In early 2012, led by Bronetskiy, the Holding had bought out the Aport.ru[4] domain from VimpelCom for 150 thousand dollars, which was in 170 times less than the amount paid to Golden Telecom in 2000[5]. Later, the project was redesigned from a search engine into an electronic trading platform.

For the further development of the Internet Holding, in 2014 it was decided that Universal Commerce Group would be headed by Yulia Marishchuk - former head of Allegro Group Ukraine[6].

November 1, 2014 Universal Commerce Group launched a new project Prosto.ua - an all-Ukrainian universal trading platform for e-commerce[7].

At the end of 2014, Andrei Bronetsky resigned from UCG Supervisory board, selling his stake.
