The Great Britain government will demand from Roman Abramovich to explain the origin of his condition before renewing his British visa, The Guardian and The Telegraph reported last night.

• The obligation to explain the origin of money invested in the British economy on Abramovich imposes new rules for issuing investor visas (Tier 1), adopted in 2015.
• They suggest that an application for a visa may be rejected if British officials consider that the applicant does not control his money on his own, earned it illegally and even if the source of the origin of the funds “suggests that the provision of a visa will not serve as a public good”. Before the introduction of these rules, in 2008-2015, the Russians received 700 investor visas. After - the number of satisfied applications of all foreigners fell by 84%.
• The additional difficulty is that Abramovich’s visa has expired when he was outside the territory of Great Britain, both British publications write - more stringent rules apply when considering such statements.
• Prime Minister Teresa May, spokeswoman for the question of whether foreigners who received a visa according to the old rules can not go through the selection according to the new ones, said that "this assumption looks logical." She did not comment on Abramovich's case. The representative of Roman Abramovich also refused to comment.
• There is no suspicion that Abramovich violated British laws, both publications emphasize. Also, according to The Telegraph, Abramovich does not appear in the investigation against the "Russian oligarchs" of the British crime agency. It is she who writes out Unexplained Wealth Orders (Uwo) - an order for the arrest of foreign property of unknown origin, the owner of which is obliged to prove the purity of his assets.
• About the problems of Roman Abramovich with a British visa on Sunday was the first to inform The Bell. The visa expectedly expired in early April and is still not extended. A source surrounded by a businessman and British officials said that there was no talk of refusal. The deadlines for extending investor visas for Russians after the start of the conflict between the countries due to the poisoning of Sergei Skripal doubled, the lawyers told The Bell.

What am I to me?

We do not know who the British authorities will check with great attention - businessmen who are known better than celebrities, or ordinary Russians. But it is already obvious that one and the other need to prepare for this.

Reloading for business

By 2025, the contribution of small and medium -sized businesses to GDP should approach 40%, and the share of employed in it - grow from 19 million to 25 million people - this was one of the points of the March Message Vladimir Putin. After that, the departments began to prepare new support programs for this category of entrepreneurs. The Ministry of Economic Development managed to be the first: there are a lot of plans - from the creation of “one window” services only for entrepreneurs and educational programs for farmers to expand the list of banks that should lend them. So far, only 45 banks participate in the program of preferential lending to small and medium -sized businesses, and the rates for these loans are in reality much higher than the declared 6.5%.

Sberbank left the large developer

One of the largest developers of the Moscow Region Urban Group seems to experience financial difficulties, Kommersant writes . Sberbank stopped providing a mortgage for the company's projects due to the fact that the developer is tearing out the construction time. VTB-24 left the company a mortgage, but only on condition that the houses where apartments are purchased were already built by 40%. Sberbank and Urban Group, which built more than 2 million square meters. m of housing, worked together for 10 years. Now the company is building five housing complexes at once-“Mitino O2” city resort, a prominent city, “Laykovo”, “Solar System” (second stage) and “Lesoberezhnaya”.

Who is new

Not only Oleg Deripaska, but also Victor Vekselberg, is ready to part with part of their assets due to sanctions. RBC found out that the businessman decided to again offer Gazprom to redeem the Renova Energy Holding “T Plus” - the same company whose former leaders are held in the criminal case about giving bribes to Komi. The idea to agree with Gazprom on the creation of the joint venture was discussed back in 2011, then it was assumed that Renova would receive a blockpack, but the fusion was blocked by the FAS.

Turn off the noise: why do we all need to run from the city

If you live in a large city, then with a high degree of probability you recently felt tired or driven. And this is not surprising: life in conditions of continuous deficiency of silence, time, personal space and solitude capable of knocking out of even the most successful and energetic people out of the rut. Studies by Mark Berman A, professor of psychology at the University of Chicago, confirm that in the urban environment a human brain is almost inevitably experiencing a load that limits its mental abilities. Together with our partner-the country's country cottage village "La-Channel" -we offer a selection of tips that will help to avoid the oppression of the city, without depriving ourselves of the advantages of modern life. You can read the full version of the material here .

• Go in for sports. The advice sounds trite, but polls show that about 76% of successful and wealthy people are playing sports regularly. And, if surfing, golf or polo is not convenient for everyone, the main trend of recent years - running - is available to everyone. Businessmen, politicians and successful managers - all are running. In addition to the benefits for physical form, running improves brain function. Even small, but regular running workouts positively affect the concentration, memory and control of emotions . At the same time, the run is a relatively “unpretentious” sport. The only thing that the runner really needs is a space.
• Maintain contact with nature. The city crowd, queue, traffic jam - no matter how we love the company of other people, the daily immersion in the crowd oppresses. So, in one of his experiments, Professor Berman proved that even a short walk along the metropolis can provoke a number of cognitive deficits. Moreover, only a few hours a day spent in silence for contemplation of nature are able to restore the cognitive resources of a healthy person.
• Look for solitude, meditate. You can use the Winfrey OPRA methodology, which devotes deep meditation five hours a week. She was so inspired by the results that she paid for the training course for meditative techniques for 400 employees of her company. Silence, a sense of safety and unity with themselves positively affect not only personal life, but also on the productivity of work.

What am I to me?

The metropolis in which we work, meet and have fun, unfortunately, is not too suitable for life. But in order to escape from the negative influence of the city, it is not necessary to immediately throw the office and move into a deaf village. The Cottage village of La-Channel is located near Moscow: a closed territory, its own park, beautiful views of the forest and lakes will help to relieve stress and relax from the bustle of the city. Ready -made cottages are still on sale - a great chance to start living better.

PRACTICE

Work less, earn more

The beginning and end of the working day are the least productive - and, therefore, on Friday, when the employees and so abbreviated shifts, you can simply not work and “scatter” these watches in the remaining four days, the leadership of the Austrian manufacturer of Cosmetics Unterweger decided. As a result, the company's employees agreed (still!) To a six -month experiment - a four -day working week with three full -fledged weekends and a decrease in the total number of working hours per week from 38 to 36 while saving salaries. The idea worked: over these six months, the company's sales have grown, and the workflow was optimized.

More mailings

It is always nice to read good news about projects that we often look at when we make a newsletter: the Theeskimm project in the next round of investments attracted $ 12 million from several investors, including Google Ventures. Theeskimm began in 2012 by the fact that the two young journalists of the NBC channel decided to launch their own newsletter, focusing on the main on the modern Internet - personalization. The presentation of news by the human language was very in demand, and today the ironic and maximum informal retelling of the main news of the day in the form of an e-mail newsletter read 7 million people, and most of them are women. Now Thuskimm has both its own paid application and its own podcast, and in the new round of investments the company received money not only from Google Ventures, but also from several status women: billionaire Sarah Blalley, screenwriter Schonda Raims and actress Tyra Banks. In total, Theeskimm has $ 29 million investments.
