In June last year, Tinkova asked the head of the federal security and combat of corruption Vitaly Borodin to recognize the “ino -agent”. According to Borodin, the entrepreneur "on an ongoing basis discredit his own authorities." “He escaped from Russia, sold his assets, including the bank. He made a choice himself, stayed in Europe, we observed and decided to contact the Prosecutor General and hope that he would be included in the list of foreign agents, ”he said.
Tinkov repeatedly made publicly condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In his opinion, 90% of Russians do not support the war. In April 2022, the day after the publication of his anti-war post, the presidential administration contacted the leadership of Tinkoff Bank and threatened it to nationalize it if the company did not break off the relationship with the founder. Tinkov said that the Kremlin forced him to sell the bank for “3% of the real value”. As a result, the entrepreneur sold a 35 percent share to Russian billionaire Vladimir Potanin. Tinkov himself does not live in Russia.
