Gift for the President

The main shareholder of Ren TV was IK Abros LLC, a subsidiary of Rossiya Bank, whose head, Yuri Kovalchuk, is said to be a person close to the president. Bank Rossiya now not only controls the previously purchased Petersburg shopping and entertainment complex, but also has the opportunity to influence decisions at Ren TV. It looks like they are creating a new media holding. For reference: the Ren TV channel broadcasts “A Week with Marianna Maksimovskaya” - the last decent news program on Russian television. Apparently, the competition for the best gift to the president is in full swing. Although it’s hard for even a “friend” to compete with Usmanov.
