US TREASURY'S KREMLIN 'LIST'
Russian Market
#FunFact The US Oligarch sanctions list has been copy-pasted from the Forbes Richest Men of Russia list.
The US Treasury department has admitted that it took the list of names for its new Russia ‘sanctions’ list from a Forbes magazine list of billionaires!
Putin ‘offended’ at being left off US Treasury ‘Kremlin List’

Russian Market
The U.S. identified some of Russia’s richest tycoons and allies of President Vladimir Putin for potential sanctions, ratcheting up pressure over alleged Kremlin interference in the 2016 presidential vote.
- Galchev, Vekselberg, Prokhorov, Alekperov, Peskov, Usmanov, Mordashov..
Russian PM Medvedev, FM Lavrov & other top figures included in US Treasury’s ‘Kremlin List’
https://www.rt.com/news/417335-us-list-russian-oligarchs/
The entire Russian government is included in the US Treasury’s ‘Kremlin List,’ which also features scores of influential businessmen. Moscow slammed the report, saying it virtually amounts to a breakdown of ties.
The document is part of a sanctions law signed by Trump in August, which targeted Russia in retaliation for alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election – a claim which still lacks any evidence.
According to the report, people featured in the list were selected on the basis of “individuals’ official position in the case of senior political figures, or a net worth of $1 billion or more for oligarchs.”
Despite being a part of the sanctions law, the document notes that “it is not a sanctions list, and the inclusion of individuals or entities in this report… does not and in no way should be interpreted to impose sanctions on those individuals or entities.”
The report adds that it “does not create any other restrictions, prohibitions or limitations on dealing with such persons by either U.S. or foreign persons.”
The first part lists a total of 114 Russian political figures, including Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, head of the Presidential Administration Anton Vaino, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, and First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, as well as all Russian ministers, including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and other senior officials.
The Russian business world also has its fair share, with 96 businessmen, including the heads of the biggest banks – such as Sberbank and VTB – making the list. The heads of state gas company Gazprom and state oil company Rosneft, as well as the heads of major transport companies such as Russian Railways and Aeroflot are on the list.
The list also includes Russian tycoons Alisher Usmanov and Roman Abramovich. Uzbek-born billionaire Usmanov is among the world’s 100 richest people, with a net worth of more than $15 billion. He made his fortune through metal and mining operations, and also has shares in media companies and Arsenal Football Club.

„...we estimate that foreign governments have abandoned the planned or announced purchases of several billion dollars in Russian defense acquisitions.
Given the long time frames generally associated with major defense deals, the results of this effort are only beginning to become apparent.
From that perspective, if the law is working, sanctions on specific entities or individuals will not need to be imposed
because the legislation is, in fact, serving as a deterrent,"
"Foreign governments and private sector entities have been put on notice,
both publicly and privately, including by the highest-level State Department and other USG officials where appropriate,
that significant transactions with listed Russian entities will result in sanctions," the US State Department spokesman said.
