It’s hard to believe, but true. Roman Abramovich, resident of London, the richest man in Russia, governor of Russia's Far East Chukotka region, has just finished his book about the Chelsea soccer club.
Russian economist Andrei Illarionov said that Russia';s GDP could have been three times higher this year, if not for the Russian government purchasing Roman Abramovich's Sibneft with 13 billion dollars of taxpayer money. Sibneft is the company that the 38 year-old Abramovich appropriated from former Soviet assets in the early 1990s. Now, when Mr. Abramovich is officially out of the Russian market and, as a governor, legally immune to prosecution in Russia, he can afford to be anything he wants to be, including the writer of the new book "Chelsea FC - The Official Biography".
Here's CNN article on this topic.
