How Russia Silences Its Billionaires Amid the War in Ukraine | Firstpost America | N18G

A single Instagram post wiped out Oleg Tinkov’s fortune. Once a self-made banking billionaire, he condemned Russia’s war in Ukraine and quickly lost control of his bank under Kremlin pressure. His downfall mirrors a longer history of Russia’s oligarchs, from the chaotic wealth of the 1990s to the consolidation of power under Vladimir Putin. Figures such as Boris Berezovsky and Mikhail Khodorkovsky learned that political independence carried a heavy price. Today, Russia’s richest can still thrive, even during wartime, but only within strict limits. Wealth is tolerated. Public dissent is not.  Firstpost America | Cary Johnston | War | Geopolitics | Global Economy | Firstpost | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | Trending News #firstpostamerica #caryjohnston #war #geopolitics #economy #firstpost #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
