Oligarch renounces Russian citizenship, saying 'everything Putin touches dies'

TEL AVIV — Russian-Israeli oligarch Leonid Nevzlin announced Tuesday that he plans to give up his Russian passport in protest of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Everything that Putin touches dies,” Nevzlin wrote in a Facebook post. “I am against the war. I am against the occupation. I am against the genocide of the Ukrainian people.”

Nevzlin was among the first prominent Russian oligarchs to establish self-imposed exile in Israel, fleeing what he has described as a campaign of politically motivated persecution by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In 2003, Nevzlin fled Russia for Israel amid a Kremlin-backed investigation into his Yukos oil company. Nevzlin co-owned Yukos with Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky, who was imprisoned by a Moscow court on charges of fraud, and, later, of embezzlement and money laundering.

‘everything Putin touches dies’ kind of like a certain admirer of Putin.

1. I wonder if he holds any sway?

3. Not if he fled Russia in 2003

The only thing he can do is give up his passport. He's just another fart in the wind.

2. Maybe he can donate a few billion to relief efforts.

Never part with thier money,they are greedy motherfuckers.

I dont see any ogliarch giving any significant money as relative to thier hoard of money to anyone or anything.

If this guy actually gave a billion to Ukraine to help them without strings attached I would be shocked.
