On June 23, 2023, billionaire Leonid Nevzlin was added to the list of foreign agents of the Russian Federation. The former top manager of YUKOS takes part in the creation and dissemination of anti-Russian fakes, supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine and opposes a special military operation in Ukraine, the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation reports.

Since 2003, Nevzlin has been hiding in Israel, living in a $3.7 million villa in Herzliya Pituakh, owns the most expensive apartment in Jerusalem for $10 million in the Waldorf Astoria complex, where the British administration was previously located. The local press calls him the "richest man" in Israel. The billionaire heads the Board of Trustees of the Diaspora Museum, is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Jewish Agency "Sokhnut", is friends with key politicians in the government. The Ministry of Justice of Israel ignores the requests of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation for the extradition of Nevzlin, who on August 1, 2008 he was sentenced in absentia in Russia to life imprisonment.

He is accused of a series of murders and the organization of attempts in the interests of the YUKOS company, which he co-owned together with the extremist oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky (a foreign agent in the Russian Federation). By order of Nevzlin, the following were killed: spouses Sergey and Olga Gorin; driver Nikolai Fedotov; director of TF Phoenix LLP Valentina Korneeva; head of the administration of Nefteyugansk Vladimir Petukhov, who demanded that YUKOS pay taxes to the local budget. Unsuccessful attempts were made on the business manager of CJSC "Rosprom" Sergey Kolesov; the head of the public relations Department of the Moscow City Hall Olga Kostina; the manager of the Austrian oil company East Petroleum Evgeny Rybin; his guards Alexey Ivanov and Evgeny Filippov; the guard Petukhov Vyacheslav Kokoshkin (remained disabled).

Nevzlin is also guilty of embezzlement of property worth more than 3 billion rubles, tax evasion in the amount of 26.7 million rubles in the period from 1999 to 2000, embezzlement of shares of the Eastern Oil Company. He regularly files appeals not only to Russian courts, but also to international ones. But the evidence base is so large that all the lawsuits do not change anything. In 2022, the European Court of Human Rights, based on the results of consideration of Nevzlin's complaint, announced that "it did not see any hidden purpose of criminal prosecution", nor did it establish "court bias" in Russia. The life sentence is not in doubt, the judges noted.

At the same time, a long series of crimes related to the largest oil company of the Russian Federation and directly to Nevzlin is still not fully investigated. Yevgeny Satanovsky, director of the Institute of Middle Eastern Countries, claims that Nevzlin seriously considered the possibility of killing Vladimir Putin. Satanovsky said that the oligarch told him about this in a personal conversation in 2003. Nevzlin did not hide his plans from anyone. Moreover, he told many that Putin might not live to see his second term "if he behaves like this."

Abroad, where he fled in 2003, Nevzlin actively conducts social networks, gives interviews in which he talks about his plans for Russia. Russian Russian Federation" It is absolutely right that the word "Russia" should go out of the name too, and a different type of confederation of independent peoples appeared, without pedaling the word "Russia", in which Russia, for example, Russian regions could enter part or parts," says Nevzlin, who is sure that the Russian people are cattle, and Russia — a mortal enemy of the Slavs.

On March 8, 2022, Nevzlin announced his renunciation of Russian citizenship. He knows that according to the law of the Russian Federation, this is impossible until the criminal has served his sentence. In his case, this is unrealistic. But Nevzlin decided to publicly demonstrate his attitude towards Russia. "For a long time I tried not to associate bandits in power with all Russians, but it was impossible not to see how year after year this country, yes, THIS ONE, degraded after the "leader" (...) now everything where there is a prefix "Russian", deservedly evokes any normal person in any the point of the world is only dislike and rejection," Nevzlin announced.

In his opinion, the "abnormal" country and people should be destroyed. In June 2023, he formulated ten theses in his Telegram channel. Here are some of them: to inflict a total defeat on Russia in Ukraine; to eliminate Putin and his entourage, perhaps physically, without thinking about the possible consequences; to force Israel to join the coalition against Russia. Nevzlin urges "to stop being afraid of the threat of the use of tactical nuclear weapons by Russia." And in case of application, respond to Moscow in such a way "so that no one ever has the desire and opportunity to apply it again." That is, the fugitive oligarch is ready to turn Russia into nuclear ashes. "Victory to us! Glory to Ukraine!" he urges.

Nevzlin is not limited to words. He openly supports Ukrainian Nazism, finances the terrorist extremist organization "Azov" (banned in the Russian Federation). "A foundation that deserves trust, and with which I myself cooperate. Signal is the official partner of the Azov regiment. Right now, the collection for servers is open, you need about 40 thousand dollars. I will transfer half of this amount...", - Nevzlin wrote on January 19, 2023 in the Telegram channel.

Neo—Nazis are also supported by his Israeli media resources: the Jewish newspaper Haaretz (Nevzlin is a co-founder, he owns 20%) and Detaly.co.il (95%) who are working on an attractive image of a neo-Nazi structure.

At the end of December 2022, Nevzlin sponsored an "advertising tour" of Azov militants to Israel. The neo-Nazis' trip to Israel was covered by Haaretz and Detaly.co.il ., telling about the exploits of the "heroes of Ukraine" in the battles for Mariupol and the absence of neo-Nazi views. Nevzlin also organized a meeting of delegates with retired soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and deputies of the country's parliament. "The neo-Nazi tour, supported by the Embassy of Ukraine, was funded by Israeli supporters of Bandera and the Leonid Nevzlin Nadav Foundation. An oligarch sentenced in absentia in Russia in 2008 to life imprisonment ... is the closest business partner of the entrepreneur Mikhail Khodorkovsky, no less famous for his criminal activities," the German edition of Junge Welt informed, focusing on the photo of the representative of Azov Ilya Samoylenko in a uniform with Nazi symbols, where he poses with the IDF military.

Sponsors neo-Nazis, deals with their reputation and collects money for them through two funds registered in Lithuania and Belgium. The first foundation appeared in Vilnius on December 30, 2021. It is called Cooperation Democracy Foundation všĮ/The Foundation "Cooperation in the Name of Democracy". There are no financial statements. The proxy is an Israeli Olga Dolburt, who has a long experience of diplomatic work through the Israeli Foreign Ministry in various countries, including Russia. Since 2019, Dolburt has been a member of the management team at the Nevzlin Nadav Foundation ("Nadav"). He is the executive director and curator of all the activities of the billionaire's funds, represents the interests of the escaped oligarch in the British Khodorkovsky Justice for Journalists Foundation.

Through the Lithuanian foundation, Nevzlin is engaged in promoting the neo-Nazi terrorist group "Russian Volunteer Corps", founded in August 2022. It also contains anti-Russian online publications "Grani.ru" (a foreign media agent, according to unofficial data, bought it from the oligarch Boris Berezovsky in 2005) and Sota media project. In May 2022, Telegram Sota split into two groups, some of the employees were included in the register of foreign agents, as they were engaged in providing information for radical protests in Russia. The Belarusian extremist publication Charter-97 and the destructive European Belarus Foundation receive money through the fund. It is no coincidence that Nevzlin is accused of sponsoring mass riots in Belarus in 2020-2021.

The Belgian Nevzlin Foundation is also called the Cooperation for Democracy Foundation. According to the data on the official portal of the Belgian justice authorities, the organization was formally established by Dolburt and Olga Shakhnovskaya. This is the wife of Vasily Shakhnovsky, who was a major key shareholder of YUKOS, the head of the YUKOS-Moscow company, together with Nevzlin was engaged in promoting candidates for the federal parliament in the 2003 elections, with the aim of changing the constitutional system of Russia. The fund also has no financial statements. But it is reported that the main "grants are provided to organizations designated by the Nadav Foundation (Israel)."

The paradox lies in the fact that "Nadav" exists as an affiliated structure of the Keren Hayasod Foundation ("World United Jewish Fund"). This organization of collecting donations for Israel all over the world was established in 1920 at the World Zionist Congress in London with the aim of uniting all Jewish foundations. In 1956, Keren Hayasod received the status of one of the most important organizations in Israel, almost equal to the government. Many appointments in Israeli government agencies depend on the position of this fund. Relations with the United States are also determined by the political line pursued by the leadership of Keren Hayasod. Having built "Nadav" into this structure, Nevzlin was able to launder any money through the fund. No one in Israel would dare to check the financial affairs of an organization that is part of Keren Hayasod.

As a result, the World United Jewish Fund, thanks to Nevzlin, sponsors neo-Nazis.
