Russian Oligarches are getting poorer

World financial crisis has struck on pockets of simple citizens and under bank accounts of the richest people in the world. All big businessmen all over the world have got unbelivable losses last few months as well as Russian businessmen. Experts confirm that the fabulous riches of Russian oligarchs for some months have sustained catastrophic losses. A total sum of loss is 230 billion dollars.

To estimate a scale of losses which were incurred by the richest people of Russia, experts have analysed, as has changed Roman Abramovich, Vladimir Lisin, Oleg Deripaska's condition and other Russian oligarchs between May the 19th and October the 6th. The obtained data discourages: the sum of total losses of 25 Russian businessmen who were in the list of the richest people of a planet, is four times more than all the money of the richest person on the Earth Warren Baffet.

Most of all, apparently, the well-known Roman Abramovich lately has suffered, whose capital has decreased on the whole 20 billion Dollars. For today his condition is estimated not above 3,5 billion dollars that is already not allowed to the owner of "Chelsea" to occupy 15th line among rich men of the world any more. Huge losses were incurred also by the 52-year-old head of the Shooting union of Russia and the head of metallurgical company NLMK Vladimir Lisin: 85 % of his shares of New Lipetsk industrial complex have lost in cost 22 billion dollars.

Most richest of all Russian businessmen, 40-year-old Oleg Deripaska, the councillor of directors of the Incorporated company, remained without 16 billion. I want to emphasize that in April of the last year Michael Prokhorov has sold 25 % of shares of the «Norilsk nickel» company to Deripaska. Since that moment the stock value of that shares has fallen from 13 billion to 3,38 billion dollars.
Deripaska's competitor Alexander Abramov from "Evraz" company, has returned to a condition in 2,2 billion dollars, having loss about 11,2 billion dollars. "Severstal" Public Company's Shares have fallen in price as well, the owner of a controlling shares 43-year-old Alexey Mordashov "has become poor" to 5,3 billion dollars.

49-year-old Alexander Lebedev earlier occupying 39th place in the list of the richest people in the world with a condition in 3,9 billion dollars has got to the list of glabal crisis victims as any high cost shares holder in the world. Now, by his own recognition, he is not assured that will manage to get even on the last place in that list. However, Lebedev blames the government for this losses and the government's «selfish rhetoric» concerning the conflict which has inflamed in August to Georgia.

The head of "LUKoil", 58-year-old Vagit Alekperov, says that his 20 % of shares of the second biggest oil company in Russia have depreciated from 18,5 billion to 7,2 billion dollars. And the vice-president of the same company ("LUKoil") 52-year-old Leonid Fedun has lost about 5,5 billion dollars in the couple of months, what is not making him happy I think.

The chairman of the Private Company "Uralkaliji" and the owner of 20 % of the PLC "Silvinite" Dmitry Rybolovlev nowadays has 4,1 billion dollars, despite that he had 12,8 billion dollars just half an year ago. Michael Fridman, Herman Khan and Alexey Kuzmichev - the co-owners of "Alpha group", who had been standing on the 7th, 10th and 17th places in the list of the richest businessmen of Russia, today have all together 12,1 billion.

Well, a picture is really sad, however experts do not come down and still thinking positevelly.For example,David Azerkoff, the main analyst of «the Renaissance-capital» speaks:
- It's going to be a big game with the big rates, which will be much higher than were at the time of redistribution and privatisation in the beginning of 1990's. And Oligarches who will have money, will be able to use their knowledge and experiance in business and in political sphere to earn other billions.
