President of Norlisk Nickel

New Zealand Russia Sanctions,

The owner and president of Interros, one of the largest management companies in Russia (owns stakes in Norilsk Nickel, Rosa Khutor and Petrovaks Farm).

ACF List of War Enablers non-official source,

He is a Russian oligarch, ranked 5th on Forbes' list of '125 Billionaires of Russia', with a fortune of 23.7 billion USD. He is the owner and president of Interros, one of Russia's largest management companies (holding stakes in Nornickel and Rosa Khutor). On the day of the invasion of Ukraine, he participated in a meeting of top businessmen with Putin, and in March 2023, he attended a meeting between the president and the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP), thereby expressing support for Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Companies under his control supply materials for the Russian military industry, including aerospace and tank manufacturing. He is the leading public supporter of Vladimir Putin and his policies among oligarchs and representatives of big business. He has benefited significantly from the withdrawal of Western companies from the Russian market, acquiring their assets at non-market prices. In April 2022, Vladimir Potanin's Interros acquired Rosbank from the French group Société générale and a stake from the founder of Tinkoff Bank (currently known as T-Bank), which the latter was forced to sell due to his anti-war stance. He has been a sponsor of the United Russia party since its foundation. This party supports Russia's aggression against Ukraine and serves as Vladimir Putin's main support in his established political system.
