Born into a Jewish family[4] , Roman's paternal grandparents were exiled to Siberia from Tauragė, Lithuania by the Soviets after the occupation of Lithuania in 1940.[5] Roman grew up as an orphan. His mother, Irina Ostrowski Abramovich, died from bacteremia as a result of a back-alley abortion when Roman was one year old.[6] His father Arkady Abramovich was killed in an incident on a construction site when Roman was three years old.[6] Abramovich grew up in his uncle's family in Ukhta and with his grandmother in Moscow. [6] Before moving to Moscow he and his sister lived in Syktyvkar, the capital city of the Komi Republic. Abramovich attended the Industrial Institute in the city of Ukhta before being drafted into the Soviet Army. After military service, he studied briefly at the Moscow State Auto Transport Institute before taking a leave of absence from academics to go into business. He later earned a correspondence degree from the Moscow State Law Academy.

Just seven years ago, Abramovich was downright shocked when he first visited the region during his run for a State Duma seat, said Mikhail Zelensky, the head of the administration of Chukotka’s Chukotka district. Each village’s only food store was often stocked with little more than salt, vinegar and couple of insecticides, Zelensky said.

Abramovich, a russion multi billionaire is rumlured to have his yachts crewed entirely by ex SAS crew. Security is very near and dear to his heart and who can blame him. His yachts are ... rumoured to carry arms and he had a second helipad build closer to his state room. Some say for the convenience of his guests, others say it's for a quick getaway for him and his family should the need arise.
