He once said in front of Putin : As long as I want, a monkey can become the president of Russia.
Later, he declared in a high profile that he would drive Putin out of Russia sooner or later, and was even suspected of hiring a former KGB major general. Assassinate the Emperor.
But don’t get me wrong. This is not a patient who escaped from a mental hospital with the door open. This man is so arrogant because he has the capital to be crazy.
The man's name is Berezovsky. He has many labels on him. The head of the 7 major oligarchs in Russia, the godfather of the Kremlin, etc. are all proper nouns belonging to him.
In fact, Berezovsky was not a businessman at first, but a professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics.
is just a university teacher with limited income, which cannot satisfy his ambition for the future.
Later, with the separation of the Soviet Union, the living environment changed drastically. Berezovsky, who had a sharp eye and quick hands, immediately jumped to the automobile industry, which had little to do with mathematics, because the profit from reselling cars was much higher than a teacher's salary. many.
However, it must be admitted that people who are proficient in mathematics must have flexible brains, and such people have a much greater chance of success than ordinary people when they go into business.
Berezovsky, who started by reselling a second-hand Mercedes-Benz, soon became the largest middleman in the Russian Automobile Federation. In the 1990s, his annual profits were as high as nine-digit dollars.
After completing primitive accumulation of capital , Berezovsky asked Russia's first prime minister to start an automobile company, and then began to slowly get involved in the oil industry and the financial industry.
In just a few years, Berezovsky has appeared on the Forbes rich list, ranking as high as 9th in the world.
Perhaps when material wealth reaches a certain level, people's ambitions will change. So after Berezovsky became a powerful oligarch, he reached out to the political arena.
Although Yeltsin, Russia’s big boss at the time, did not mind the oligarchs’ interference in state affairs, because Berezovsky had spent a lot of money on him and finally let him sit on the throne of Russia’s president, but Putin, who was led by Yeltsin, was deeply aware of this. Absolutely.
Therefore, Berezovsky and Putin are destined to be incompatible.

In 2006, while Putin was sitting at home, a pot of transnational murder fell from the sky.
And the deceased was Russian agent Alexander, and the person who accused Putin of being the "murderer" was Berezovsky, who once wielded power in Russia.
According to British media reports, Alexander was on vacation in a hotel in London at the time. Unexpectedly, after drinking a glass of wine, he died of poison on the spot.
As Alexander's loyal partner, although Berezovsky did not show any evidence, it did not prevent him from opening his mouth and immediately pinned the hat of the murderer behind the scenes on Putin's head, saying that it was all the fault of the other party. handwriting.
Russian officials immediately denied this and retorted: All this was a mysterious death deliberately caused by Berezovsky, and his purpose was to use this to discredit Russia.
Because Putin’s decision to liquidate the oligarchs was a huge blow. This harmed his interests, and as Russia issued one wanted order after another for him, Berezovsky had to flee to another country for refuge.
It is worth mentioning that since he was convicted in 2000, he began to flee to London, England. After the British learned the news, they also opened their arms to Berezovsky, even if Russia repeatedly requested their extradition. Britain also chose to ignore this wanted criminal.
And then such a commotion directly caused the already precarious British-Russian relations to hit a new low again.
But Berezovsky still does not intend to stop.
The very next year, he first claimed that he had narrowly escaped assassination, and also said that the murderer might be the one who killed Alexander. Then he called Russia from a distance, saying that he planned to use all the power at his disposal to drive Putin out completely. Russia.
But no matter how shocking his words were, the onlookers only regarded him as a joke, because when Berezovsky made his fortune, he relied on bottomless exploitation of bottom workers.
Later, Putin planned to strengthen the power of state-owned capital and vigorously rectify the oligarchs. During the economic crisis, he began to frantically sell off the state-owned assets under his control, and even established his own party to unite beautiful country , and would go against Putin no matter what.
How can we expect a person with such no bottom line to accomplish great things?

In 2013, Berezovsky, known as the "Godfather of the Kremlin" and the "Head of the Seven Major Russian Oligarchs", suddenly died unexpectedly in a villa in London.
Although the case was still under investigation when the news was announced, the British media still pointed the murderer intentionally or unintentionally at Putin in Russia.
Because Berezovsky has always been a staunch "anti-Prussian", and before this, Russian officials had issued numerous arrest warrants for this person.
According to the investigation report disclosed by the British police, the first person to discover the abnormality was Berezovsky's bodyguard.
At that time, Berezovsky had been in the bathroom for a full 18 hours, and no matter how many people outside called him, he got no response, so the bodyguard had no choice but to open the bathroom door. Unexpectedly, his boss had already left.
Later, forensic examination found that Berezovsky not only had strangulation marks on his neck, but also had a broken rib.
Putin did not take seriously the accusations floated from the UK, and even asked the official spokesperson to send a message for him:
It is not difficult to see that Putin did not even bother to say "rest".
Although the entire West suspects that the cause of Berezovsky's death is not simple, there are no signs of struggle at the scene of the incident, and no evidence of the presence of a second person can be found.
In addition, Berezovsky was plagued by lawsuits during his lifetime, and his mental state was... His condition has been poor, so the British police finally characterized the case as suicide.
At this point, the oligarch who once dominated the Russian economy finally ended his legendary life in an absurd manner.
