Billionaire banker and entrepreneur, Oleg Tinkov, on Monday said he renounced his Russian citizenship because of the conflict in Ukraine, which he had previously criticised.

“I have taken the decision to exit my Russian citizenship. I can’t and won’t be associated with a fascist country, that started a war with their peaceful neighbour and killing innocent people daily,” Tinkov said.

He wrote on Instagram, “I hope more prominent Russian businessmen will follow me, so it weakens (President Vladimir) Putin’s regime and his economy, and put him eventually to defeat.”

He shared a picture of a certificate confirming the “ending” of his Russian citizenship.


“I hate Putin’s Russia, but love all Russians who are clearly against this crazy war!” Tinkov said.

The billionaire is one of Russia’s best-known self-made tycoons who founded the online Tinkoff Bank.


The bank is one of Russia’s largest lenders, behind state giants Sberbank and VTB. Tinkoff has around 20 million customers presently.

Tinkov had strongly criticised Russia’s offensive in Ukraine, describing it as an “insane war” as he called on the West to end the “massacre”.

He has also been targeted by British sanctions imposed soon after the conflict began in late February.

He was previously arrested in London in 2020 on charges of tax evasion in the United States. He was later released on bail and treated for leukaemia in London.

He quit his role as Tinkoff CEO in 2020 and the bank has distanced itself from his anti-offensive comments.

The war is senseless. No nation can attack nuclear-armed nation like Russia. Putin is just being paranoid. Ukraine is not a threat to Russia. Westernization in ukraine is a threat to a dictator like Putin.

Ican’t and won’t be associated with a fascist country, that started a war with their peaceful neighbour and killing innocent people daily.

His conscience must have pricked him to stop supporting evil acts committed by his great country against their peaceful neighbor.

Same way men of good conscience need to come together and flush out the evil party called APC in 2023.

I don't know him, I only know Putin

I don't blame him. I saw a video of a Russian soldier Burning his passport yesterday.

POOtin is a fool, must he be in power till enternity?
Leaders before him came and left while Gorbachev and Boris stands out the likes of POOtin wants to show he is more Russian than any.
POOtin dosent want to be westernized but more Russians lives in Western nations than his China Belarus North Korea and Bulgaria buddies, even his one legged and one eyed propagandist DerrickzB the olosho man is in Kazakhstan
He too knows he dare not attack first with his hypersonic rants

No matter which way the tide turns, history will not be kind to Vladimir Putin.

A man responsible for the death of thousands of people in this current digital age.

For the first time in our lives, technology has made it possible for us to see men die in action and it’s not pretty no matter which side of the fence you’re on.

History has already be kind to Putin. He let other people see the West hegemony. So, Russia cannot install nuclear weapons in Cuba but USA can install in ukrain. Hypocrites everywhere

VERY soon,the world will see the end of PooTiin.
