For a long time, Anisimov was considered a representative of Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev in various large types of business, including in the structures of Alisher Usmanov. And he directly spoke about this at “closed” meetings. However, then I decided to get out of all projects, go abroad and engage in a business for organizing “family offices” for rich immigrants from the space of the former USSR. Our source said that the transfer of assets and the withdrawal from all projects passed quite peacefully. This is evidenced by the fact that in September 2022, Anisimov officially left the citizenship of the Russian Federation (this became known in 2024), and in October 2022, Putin awarded Anisimov by the Order of Merit to the Fatherland of the IV degree.
Anisimov became a citizen of Croatia, but lives in Switzerland. A source of the Cheka-OGPU said that Anisimov’s exit from all projects with Russian “roots” dragged on. Including due to the fact that foreign companies were sometimes involved in the schemes of ownership. In 2025, Anisimov decided that all the processes were finally completed and went to Moscow to identify his position – he no longer had obligations to anyone, including Putin from Medvedev. And he himself was sure that he found a complete understanding. But upon returning he was unexpectedly seriously ill and has not appeared in public for several months. The environment is whispering about the possible poisoning in Moscow. Anisimov himself prefers not to inflate this topic.
