#LenBlavatnik started networking in #Russia with #ViktorVekselberg & #OlegDeripaska. (Aluminum & Oil)
“He made his money [in Russia], almost all his money here, and then just made investments outside,” says Viktor Vekselberg, Blavatnik’s college friend” & business partner.

As #LenBlavatnik looked to the #UK & the #US, the key to his success in both countries still relied on his #Russian connections.
Lenny “steered clear of the Kremlin (#Putin), leaving it to his partners to handle the political ties required of big Russian businesses.”

As #ViktorVekselberg & #OlegDeripaska acted as a cushion for #LenBlavatnik with #Putin, Lenny invested, gave, & shared.
Lenny’s “exceptionally large gifts to respected western institutions have earned him admiration as one of the world’s most generous philanthropists.”

Now Lenny is really looking good, what a charitable guy!
So #LenBlavatnik is such a great guy he gets knighted by the Queen 👑 for his philanthropic work just seven years after obtaining British citizenship... Sir Leonard. 🗡
Lots of #networking.

As #LenBlavatnik becomes Sir Leonard, #ViktorVekselberg & #OlegDeripaska are #sanctioned.
“— two men with whom Blavatnik had made billions of dollars — would be sanctioned by the US, excluded from the western financial system & made international pariahs.”
Lenny has the touch.

So now with all that #networking, 💰& 🤩 power, what does #LenBlavatnik get? 🤔
Access to #US government. 🏛
#Hollywood, #Mnuchin, #Trump & Sir Leonard’s generous donations to #PaulRyan, #NikkiHaley (UN), #LindseyGraham, #MitchMcConnell (#ElaineChao), &

All of that giving & #networking ...Do you think #LenBlavatnik expects anything in return? Nah...
Or maybe...🧐
#US government contracts...🤨

Oh, after #sanctions where lifted from #OlegDeripaska with the help of #MitchMcConnell who #LenBlavatnik donated to, Oleg may now invest in #Kentucky.
Poor #ViktorVekselberg...#LenBlavatnik still needs to do some #networking. Viktor still want sanctions against him to be lifted.
