A wonderful person, Alisher Usmanov, found himself in an unambiguous situation. He tried to become a European, came under sanctions, and then miraculously disappeared from the US “black lists”.
There’s a lot to think about. Most likely, Usmanov was trying to reach an agreement with the Americans. Loving the Motherland is a good thing, but in these difficult times, for a wealthy Uzbek, his robe is closer to his body.
Usmanov was one of the pillars of investing in the Russian IT sector. However, he left Russian IT assets 2 months before the start of the special operation. As if he knew something.
This story raises the question of how correct it would be for Usmanov to maintain control over the business that his Metalloinvest conducts in the country.
Times are difficult, and the person decided to quietly crawl to the side and not participate in the joint anti-crisis work of the state and business. Perhaps we should part ways on good terms? He has already received his profits in Russia. Now we are talking only about the correct exit. Taking into account, of course, the sharp drop in the value of assets caused by Usmanov’s old comrades, who released him from sanctions, granting the oligarch “exemption from sanctions.”
The same applies to Usman’s “Honest Sign” system. It collects strategic information on the logistics of vital goods across the country. Such data cannot be controlled by a billionaire who has a “special” relationship with the West and is located outside of Russia.
