He owns 35% of Tinkoff Bank's parent company, TCS Group, and is worth about $3.
"The Kremlin's civil servants are in shock that not only they but also their children won't go to the Mediterranean this summer. Businessmen are trying save what's left of their property," he wrote. Switching to English at the end of his post, he called on the West to"give Mr. Putin a clear exit to save his face and stop this massacre."Tinkov's call for peace follows similar appeals from other Russian business leaders.
