Putin’s foreign policy aide, Yuri Ushakov, appears to be an influential man. He puts forward ultimatums to the United States, coordinates the future Russia-Africa summit, and in general often speaks out on the international agenda, taking bread from Lavrov.
He also receives a decent reward for his work.
Ushakov and his family own several luxury properties. The total cost is 750 million rubles.
Ushakov’s daughter has now put up one of her apartments for sale. It is located in the legendary house where the Soviet elite, including Brezhnev and Andropov, used to live.
