Sir Leonard "Len" Blavatnik (born June 14, 1957) is a Soviet-born

These are Mitch McConnell’s nefarious links to Putin, Russian oligarch Oleg
Deripaska and Russian companies
There always seems to be more to the story when it comes to Trump and Russia,
and this time it involves Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.
Monday evening brought a new twist in that one of Mitch McConnell’s major
donors, Len Blavatnik, who is tied to Vladimir Putin and all kinds of Russian
oligarchs, benefited when Trump and McConnell lifted Russian sanctions on
Sunday.

January 31:
A Treasury Department official said that Secretary
Steven Mnuchin sold his stake in RatPac-Dune Entertainment to a “third party
unconnected” to Leonard Blavatnik, the Ukrainian-born billionaire and
entertainment investor linked to a Russian company that was recently removed
from the U.S. sanctions list.
The statement came in response to a letter sent by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.),
who is questioning whether Mnuchin had a conflict of interest because of his
involvement in the decision to lift the sanctions.
She is unsatisfied with Mnuchin’s response to her initial query, and has fired
off a new letter in which she suggests that he disclose who bought his stake in
RatPac-Dune.
Speier and other lawmakers, who have tried to block the lifting of sanctions on
Russian companies, have focused on Blavatnik and his ties to Russian oligarchs.
