In the mid-1990s, the entrepreneur managed to sell sulphur from Astrakhangazprom on international markets. Fedcom has sponsored football clubs in the south of France since the second half of the 1990s. Active sponsorship activities and links to Eastern Europe aroused the suspicions of French law enforcers, but apart from forged passports on one of the firm's employees, no criminal elements were found in the activities; nevertheless, when Fedorychev offered to buy a controlling stake in the AS Monaco FC for €100 million in 2002, Prince Rainier III didn’t give his consent. There were also plans to build a new stadium and renovate the base in Novogorsk. However, two years after acquiring FC Dynamo Moscow, the entrepreneur lost interest in it.
