NPOV Issues

[edit]

I think this article suffers of severe NPOV issues, not mentioning even the most obvious non-negative examples of Russian money: Evgeny Lebedev, Roman Abramovich involvement with Chelsea, Evgeny Chichvarkin etc

It should also probably be renamed to "Russian investment in the United Kingdom", as the sources talk about the entire country and the article uses the term "investment" 5 times to describe the money in question ("money" is mentioned once) PaulT2022 (talk) 06:39, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've slightly expanded the article with details of some investments I was able to find. PaulT2022 (talk) 05:58, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Londongrad

[edit]

This article, and the Londongrad (disambiguation) page, use Londongrad to describe Russian money, however there appears to be no source for this. The referenced Economist article merely says that its a nickname for London. There's definitely a juxtaposition, as the article is about increase of Russian money, but it doesn't relate it to money explicitly.

Academic writing defines it as related to London becoming a central hub for Russian-speaking immigration and says its applied to diverse topics related to Russians nowadays. PaulT2022 (talk) 07:47, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
