Putin’s younger daughter has been handed a new role with the country’s most powerful business lobby
Katerina Tikhonova, who is sanctioned by the U.S. and its allies, was named co-chairman of a committee to coordinate import-substitution efforts by the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, known as RSPP, the Moscow-based newspaper reported Wednesday. It cited a copy of the body’s document on the decision and said the RSPP’s press service confirmed the appointment.
The RSPP’s press service declined to comment when contacted by Bloomberg. RBC reported that a spokesperson for Innopraktika, which manages the National Intellectual Development Foundation where Tikhonova is a top executive, said Tuesday she hadn’t yet agreed to the appointment. The body didn’t immediately respond to a request to comment.Article content
