One of his investments, Sual, later became part of United Company Rusal, the world's largest aluminium producer.

1990

Fridman, who was highly politically connected, had been a member of Boris Yeltsin’s inner circle in the mid 1990s.

The first order of business for AAR was to buy 40 per cent of a struggling oil producer Tyumen Oil (TNK) for $800 million.

TNK was one of few remaining state-owned oil companies.

Tyumen Oil was auctioned off with criteria that exactly matched AAR.

AAR far outbid its competitors but did not end up buying it for the agreed sum.
