Forbes noted a growing trend: many billionaires with ties to Russia are very reluctant to be called Russian.
In particular, such a statement was made by the representative of the founder of the social network VKontakte and the creator of the Telegram messenger Pavel Durov: “Pavel left Russia many years ago, not intending to return.” The source adds that Durov, who lives in Dubai, where the Telegram office is based, became a French citizen last year.
Earlier it became known that the founder of the Telegram messenger, 37-year-old Pavel Durov, entered the top three richest people in Russia according to Forbes. Last year, Durov was in ninth place.
Forbes notes that such statements have been received for several years, but after the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, their number increased. Brothers Igor and Dmitry Bukhman, co-founder of technology company Revolut Nikolai Storonsky, head of investment company Millhouse Yevgeny Shvidler, and Yuri Milner, whom Forbes calls “the most influential technology investor in Russia,” published similar statements.
