kanztorg.ru was the site of the Nizhny Novgorod wholesale stationery supplier "Optovyi Tsentr KANTSTORG" (Wholesale Center KANTSTORG), listed in the nn.ru directory under the "/rub/" section with the description "a wide range of stationery, paper, and computer accessories" on the Nizhny Novgorod market[1][5]. The oldest surviving snapshot of its home page in the web archive is dated 20 June 2003[2], and the latest snapshot with parsed content is dated 22 January 2026[4].

What the site looked like and what it offered

In 2003 the home page served as a showcase of new arrivals and promotions: BOOM backpacks "with EVA technology" ("rigid inserts that hold their shape"), goods "for left-handers" — including left-handed scissors — and 48-sheet notebooks with "Fabrika Zvyozd" (Star Factory) and "Zacharovannye" (Enchanted) covers[2]. According to the home page, the catalog sections were divided into "Paper and Writing Goods," "Office Goods," "Writing Implements," "Miscellaneous," and "Goods for Children's Creativity"[2].

By January 2014 the site had grown into a full-fledged B2B catalog of a wholesale firm: the home page featured a personal account with password recovery, a news feed on stock arrivals ("Товарный кредит" — Merchandise Credit, "Акция Тетрадь" — Notebook Promotion, "Акция Ранец" — Satchel Promotion), and a structured catalog by product group, alphabet, and brand[3]. The news for December 2013 reported a New Year discount on TM deVENTE and Attomex products, new arrivals from TM Ranok and TM Mangyo, and an updated assortment from TM ARTFORMAT and TM UMka[3]. By that time the assortment spanned dozens of categories — from banking equipment and paper goods for the office and school to leather goods, computer equipment, New Year merchandise, and document folders[3]. No phone numbers or addresses with a city code appear in the surviving snapshots. According to the company's profile on the industry portal "KantsOboz," the company had operated in the Nizhny Novgorod city and region market since 1998, its office was listed at 6 Larina Street, and its phone numbers carried the 831 area code[5]. The same profile states that the staff numbered about 200 people and clients exceeded 1,500, located not only in Nizhny Novgorod Region but also in Vladimir, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Kirov, Yaroslavl, and Ulyanovsk regions, and in Mari El, Mordovia, and Tatarstan[5].
