“This information is not true,” Chubais said.
There are new photos of Chubais who fled Russia
Once the most cited politician in Russia, the father of the Russian privatization program, the former general manager of the Rosnano company Anatoly Chubais is said to be about to exchange a temporary identity card for a permanent biometric card or to order a biometric Israeli passport. Chubais himself denies this information.
The Russian newspaper “Kommersant”, the Israeli edition “Details” and other media today write about the photographs published by the news agency “Voice of Israel”. In the photos, Chubais and his wife Avdotya Smirnova are at the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the city of Nof-ha-Galil.

Sources familiar with this story are sure that the opportunity to change the transcription to Chagall will arise later, when Chubais gets a new Israeli passport.

In these images, the father of the Russian privatization program is sitting in one of the Israeli cafes.
In the summer of 2022, Chubais was in the TOP news again: there were reports that he had been poisoned. However, in August he was discharged from hospital. After that, he immediately went to rehabilitation in one of the clinics in Germany.
Political scientists and journalists are still arguing over who allowed Anatoly Chubais to leave Russia.
Previously, the media published the opinion of political scientist Pavel Salin. He believes that Chubais, quotes: “a lot of luck”.
“He managed to realize the scenario that many representatives of the Russian elite would like to implement in the current situation. But they don’t have such an opportunity without the appearance of negative consequences for them,” Salin said.
According to the political scientist, the main plot is not why Chubais voluntarily resigned and left, but how he did it?
“And why was it allowed? Salin asks. – Without the knowledge of Vladimir Putin, this could not have happened. How Chubais managed to convince Putin is a question,” the political scientist said.
