Phosagro was on the London Stock Exchange (in July 2011 London Stock Exchange traded), and Litvinenko was listed as chairman under the new owners. When Litvinenko only held 15%, his shares were worth about $ 260 million. In April 2014, he acquired another 4.9% of Andrey Guryev, who controls the company, for $ 269 million.

Private life

Improve Wife: Tatiana Petrovna Litvinenko, b. Klowanitsch, * 1958. Litvinenko has a daughter Olga, born in 1983 .. In May 2010, father Vladimir and his wife took care of Olga's daughter Ester-Maria (* 2009) and then refused to give her back to Olga. Olga viewed this as a kidnapping and started legal proceedings to get her daughter back. Olga describes her father as "the richest rector in Russia" and a "Russian oligarch". When Olga fled Russia in the summer of 2011, Vladimir reported to the police that Olga and her other son Mikhail had been kidnapped. His daughter's fortune was frozen. According to Olga, all of the lawyers who defend her have been arrested and sentenced.

Remarks

  1. In the USSR and also Russia this corresponds to the teaching qualification.
  2. At that time, deputy head of the office of President Boris Yeltsin
  3. Litvinenko was also criticized for allegedly failing to discover the plagiarism. According to the daughter, Olga Litvinenko, she watched her father write Putin's doctoral thesis.
    • Putin dissertation. 'It All Boils Down to Plagiarism'
      Content (analogous) Clifford Gaddy: "Mr. Litvinenko, who was directly involved in the dissertation, allegedly helped Putin in choosing the topic and was more or less the advisor for the dissertation. He is himself Member of the higher accreditation commission, the government-appointed body that oversees graduation , dissertation and quality control standards for higher education in Russia, so it is particularly scandalous that he is affected by shabbiness and plagiarism, at least in this case, possibly something worse what the literal purchase would be, either through money or through politics, of a dissertation by someone who didn't really do the job. That second point is not clear. I have no evidence of it. All I have is evidence for plagiarism.
      According to his daughter Olga, Vladimir Litvinenko himself wrote the dissertation for Putin.
