Oleg Tinkov built one of Russia’s most successful digital lenders, a sleek, app-first bank that helped redefine retail banking in the country. But now he said that speaking out against Russia-Ukraine war cost him nearly $9 billion or over Rs 80,000 crore in personal wealth and forced him to give up control of the bank he founded. Tinkov, the founder of Tinkoff Bank, said a single Instagram post in 2022, in which he called the war as “insane”, triggered pressure from the Kremlin that ultimately led to the forced sale of his stake in the lender at a fraction of its true value. In the post, Tinkov sharply criticised Russia’s military leadership, calling the invasion poorly planned and deeply corrupt. He also claimed that most Russians opposed the war, while those who supported it were “morons”, according to media reports. “I do not see ONE beneficiary of this insane war!” Tinkov wrote in Russian in his Instagram post, according to CNBC. “Innocent people and soldiers are dying.
