Gennady Bogolyubov — businessman with roots in the USSR
Gennady Bogolyubov is a Ukrainian-Israeli billionaire who co-founded PrivatBank alongside Igor Kolomoisky — Ukraine's largest bank before its nationalisation in 2016. He holds Israeli and Cypriot citizenship and has been involved in extensive international legal proceedings related to PrivatBank's alleged misappropriation of funds.
Tracing the roots — Dnipro (Ukraine)
Born in Dnipropetrovsk (now Dnipro, Ukraine) in 1962, Bogolyubov built his fortune in the same post-Soviet Ukrainian business environment as his PrivatBank co-founder. His Israeli citizenship and international legal battles make him one of the most litigated figures to emerge from the Russian Empire's Ukrainian Jewish business community.
