Mark Hollingsworth’s talk will focus on whether London is still the primary location for Russian oligarchs and wealthy Russians to park their money and assets. It will outline the history of London as a haven for Russian wealth while Yeltsin was in power in the 1990s and will also sum up the lifestyle attractions of London for rich Russians. Mark will then analyse the relationship between Putin and the oligarchs since Putin became President.
