War on Boats <continued>
The Rothschilds' connections to Russia are murky, but they seem to run deep and wide. Here is another article where Nat Rothschild colluded with a particularly sketchy Russian oligarch billionaire.
Vladimir Chernukhin is a Russian former deputy minister of finance and former Chairman of a Russian state-owned development corporation Vnesheconombank. Chernukhin had fled to the UK after Vladimir Putin dismissed him in 2004.
People familiar with the matter have said that his decision to leave Russia was due to the fact that he could have been prosecuted for illegal scheming at the time when he was responsible for the settlement of sovereign debts to Russia while working for the Ministry of Finance. Chernukhin fled to the UK.
After arriving in the UK in 2004, Nat Rothschild apparently paid Chernukhin a salary of 275,000 pounds for a fake job where he didn't have to show up or do anything. However, with his new Job, the exiled wealthy Russian was able to get a British visa.
It begs the question, what involvement did Nat Rothschild have with Vladimir Chernukhin while he was still in Russia? Were the two men (and Chernukhin's wife) involved in additional business schemes after they left Russia?
While in Russia, Chernukhin's background included working at Tekhnopromimport, a Soviet organisation that engaged in foreign trade and as such was closely linked with Soviet secret services. While providing evidence in a 2018 legal case Chernukhin acknowledged that it has been “modus operandi” to disguise his commercial interests. He spoke of using “fronts”, “camouflage”, and “silent participation” in specific commercial deals, adding: “I want to be invisible," he said.
Most recently, In 2019, Vladimir Chernukhin, 51, is alleged to have lied in arbitration and High Court proceedings by stating that a declaration of trust named him as the beneficial owner of shares in Compass View Ltd.
In 2020, BBC reporters uncovered US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) documents that showed that Chernukhin had received $8 million (£6.1 million) from Suleyman Kerimov, another Russian oligarch who is also currently under sanctions after the invasion of Ukraine. It was Suleyman Kerimov's yacht that was just removed by US authorities from port in Fiji yesterday. See? This has been part of the War on Boats.

In October 2021, the Guardian published an article about Chernukhin and his wife based on the Pandora Papers. Leaked files revealed the ‘extraordinary reliance of Chernukhins on the hidden offshore world, and the remarkable length that the couple goes to keep their wealth and financial arrangements secret instructing lawyers over a tax authority dispute that spanned France, Switzerland and the British Virgin Islands
Chernukhin's wife Lubov Chernukhin, who was also a banker, has donated over two million pounds to UK Conservative party making her the largest female political donor in British history. She even got to play tennis with prime Minister Boris Johnson in 2014.
