Roman Abramovich: Boris Berezovsky
built 670 days ago
Roman Abramovich and Boris Berezovsky acquired shares in Sibneft by bidding in the auctions through several front companies that they set up for the purpose. These transactions, widely denounced as unethical or illegal, were approved by Boris Yeltsin who had good relations with Berezovsky and Abramovich at that time. According to General Alexander Korzhakov, former chief of Yeltsin's security service, Abramovich manages finances for Yeltsin and his family.

No wonder Abramovich likes London. He had ample reason to think he'd won the Kremlin's favor. In 2001, he bought the ort TV channel for $150 million from Boris Berezovsky, once Putin's ally, then his bitter foe, and turned it over to the state. He ... invested several hundred million of his own money to improve living conditions in depressed Chukotka province. For the first time ever, the population of Chukotka started receiving national TV and acquired modern supermarkets, cinemas, a concert hall and an indoor skating rink. Still, last week, Kudrin tersely told Abramovich that such donations must come from "the state budget" rather than his tax breaks.

Abramovich started his commercial activity in the late 1980s when Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms permitted the opening of small private businesses, known as co-operatives. In 1992 to 1995 Abramovich founded five companies that conducted resale and acted as intermediaries, eventually specializing in the trading of oil and oil products. In 1995 Roman Abramovich, together with Boris Berezovsky, acquired the controlling interest in the large oil company Sibneft. The deal was within the controversial loans-for-shares program and partner paid $100m for half of the company, only slightly below the stake's stock market value of $150 million at the time. The fast-rising value of the company led many observers, in hindsight, to suggest that the real cost of the company should have been in the billions of dollars.[6]

Exiled tycoon Berezovsky brought Abramovich into the Kremlin's inner circle. Once in, Abramovich first befriended Yeltsin's daughter, Tatyana, then the former president himself. Yeltsin's former security chief, who wrote a behind-the-scenes account of the Kremlin, claimed Abramovich was considered "the cashier" of the Yeltsin circle. Tatyana and her husband were frequent guests at Abramovich's dacha. These days Abramovich is said to have close ties to President Vladimir Putin's chief of staff, Alexander Voloshin.
