Spooky businessman. At one point the largest foreign investor in Russia, barred from entering Russia in 2005, he has actively worked for regime change since then.

William Felix Browder is an American-born British financier and political activist. Prior to 2005, Browder, through Hermitage Capital Management, co-founded by Edmond Safra, was at one point the largest foreign investor in Russia. He was barred from entering Russia in 2005 and has actively worked for regime change since then.

In January 2019, RT put Bill Browder as #9 on their 2018 list of Russophobes, commenting "Back when he was making cash, Browder was extremely friendly to anyone who spoke Russian and had a ruble to invest. Since being accused of tax fraud in Russia, he has rebranded himself as “Putin's number-one enemy."

And Mr Ryzhkov, I believe you when you say there's freedom of the press.
