I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who founded a shopping mall reserved for the most elites of society?
All the background I'm provided with is that "It had been occupied by various shops and warehouses (Maly Gostiny Dvor, Schukin Dvor, Apraksin Dvor) until 1846, when Count Essen-Stenbock-Fermor acquired the grounds to build an elite shopping mall for the Russian nobility and wealthy bourgeoisie.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
