Russian pension of 200 euros will be transferred to Israeli Chubais 0 22

Former head of "RUSNANO" Anatoly Chubais (69) is being transferred to a subsistence minimum pension, reports Mash. Chubais left Russia in 2022 and resigned from his position as special representative of the President of the Russian Federation for relations with international organizations. According to the publication, most of his pension — 450,000 rubles per month (over 4,500 euros per month) — will be directed towards repaying a debt to "RUSNANO." After deductions, he will have a subsistence minimum for pensioners in Moscow — 18,971 rubles (about 200 euros). Over three years after his departure, Chubais has accumulated about 14 million rubles in his accounts.

At the beginning of the year, bailiffs initiated enforcement proceedings, during which his assets were seized. The publication links the reduction of payments to the seizure of accounts following the court's decision to recover 5.6 billion rubles from the former head and top managers of "RUSNANO" in the case of flexible school tablets Plastic Logic. The Moscow court on April 4 granted "RUSNANO"'s claim for joint recovery of damages from Chubais. The case was considered in a closed session.

In 2009, Chubais initiated a project to create flexible tablets for the Russian education system. A Russian company was established in 2010 as part of a joint project with the Irish company Plastic Logic to build a factory in Zelenograd. "RUSNANO" invested 7.1 billion rubles in the project. However, in 2024, LLC "Plastic Logic" was declared bankrupt.

In February 2024, the publication "Agency" reported that Chubais is creating a "Center for Russian Studies" in Israel. According to one of the publication's sources, Chubais has received affiliation with one of the universities in Tel Aviv and is working on a project that will discuss how Russian liberals allowed what is happening in the country. In May 2024, it was officially announced that the Center for Russian Studies was opened at Tel Aviv University, with Chubais acting as the "organizer of the group of sponsors," and the structure itself will be "apolitical." The staff includes sociologist Viktor Vakhshtain, political scientist and senior researcher at the Carnegie Berlin Center Alexander Baunov, journalist and head of the newspaper Kommersant Dmitry Butrin, as well as literary scholar Alexander Arkhangelsky. The main task of the center is to conduct a "comprehensive study of the possible future of Russia based on the analysis of events from its recent past."
