Tinkov renounced Russian citizenship

Businessman Oleg Tinkov announced his withdrawal from Russian citizenship and published a photo of the document about it. Earlier, he reported that he was forced to sell Tinkoff Bank under the threat of nationalization because of his anti-war position.

Quote. “I have officially renounced Russian citizenship! I can't see all this and be associated with Putin's fascism! I cannot see how my former compatriots kill and rob peaceful people just like that. I want to “unsee” all this, especially after what I had to go through the last 3 years. Life is one and it is PRICELESS ❤️ I hope more businessmen will follow me and stop working for fascism, give up their businesses and citizenship. PS: for pseudo-patriots! Donbas WOULD not exist if your Pupkin had not climbed there in 2014. I am a patriot of Russia more than you..because you talk, but I did and do. I am a hero of Russia .. real .. not these ... ”, Tinkov wrote (author’s spelling preserved)
