Thanks to investments in the Media Group of HB and the acquisition of Ukrainian truth became a prominent player for the media. The concentration of big businesses and media assets in one hand, which took place recently, gave the journalists a joke to talk about a phylal as an oligarch of a new wave. The adoption of the law on the establishment of a register of oligarchs has derived this issue from the ironic plane. The oligarch can be a foreigner, the NSDC secretary Alexei Danilov added intrigue.
In order to officially acquire the status of an "oligarch", it is enough to be appropriate at the same time up to three criteria of four: to participate in political life; have a significant impact on the media; control monopoly enterprises; have assets exceeding 1 million subsistence minimums for January 1 of the respective year (UAH 2. 19 billion at the time of approval).
In order to reduce the risks of getting into the toxic "club", Rinat Akhmetov and Vadim Stolar have already got rid of media business, and Vadim Novinsky officially left politics, passing the deputy's mandate. The current conversation took place on the initiative of the editorial board of HB Business.
