One of the oligarchs of the Russian Federation, the head of Norilsk Nickel, Vladimir Potanin, opposed proposals to confiscate the assets of foreign companies. His position was published by the press service of Norilsk Nickel in the telegram. It is reported by meduza.

According to him, this will return the Russian Federation a hundred years ago, to 1917, and the consequences of such a step - global distrust of Russia on the part of investors - will be experienced by the Russian Federation for many decades.

“The decision of many companies to suspend operations in Russia is, I would say, somewhat emotional in nature and may have been taken as a result of unprecedented pressure on them from public opinion abroad. So most likely they will come back. And personally, I would save such an opportunity for them, ”the oligarch believes.

A more adequate response to Potanin seems to be the proposal of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation on the introduction of external management in companies that stop their activities in Russia.
