Nationality

Was my edit correct? The article says that he's Russian, but born to a Jewish family. If it's wrong, please revert and let me know. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:15, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish isn't a nationality. The closest would be Israeli (but not all Israelis are jews) however he doesn't appear to hold an Israeli passport.©Geni (talk) 18:55, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it dawned on me shortly after that my edit didn't make any sense at all. Thank you for fixing it. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:31, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jews ^[1] Then correct this article... But Milner is not Russian — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.233.175.19 (talk • contribs)

Well, the poor English language has several meanings to the word "Nationality". I guess in this case it is more correct to speak about "citizenship", because nationality stands more for the national attribute of a person. However it seems funny and nonsense to think that if a couple of jews made a family and brought a child in Russia they can be considered as Russians... Having only a passport of some country just makes you it's citizen but does not make you it's native. Of course this rule has exceptions, USA for example. They have no authentic nationality due to their history. 91.233.175.19 (talk) 05:27, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Engagement with Garret Kushner and Trump

Seems that with so many cite-able sources, a section on Kushner's contact would be included. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/daily-202/2017/05/30/daily-202-jared-kushner-represents-new-front-in-trump-s-russia-tangle/592c7881e9b69b2fb981dbdc/ --Wikipietime (talk) 15:56, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Brackish sentence

The bank management transferred assets{{what|reason=assets lingering after bankruptcy? how does that work?}} to a bank with a similar name{{what|reason=did this create a notable confusion, and if so, among what group of people?}} and{{what|reason=subject of "enriched" missing}} was enriched{{what|reason=in English, we 'enrich' breakfast cereal with vitamin B12}} for further investments.{{what|reason=and how, exactly, does this depend upon the preceding enrichment?}}

I'm guessing this means that somehow the debtors were forced to settle for a haircut (even though substantial assets remained, which sounds criminal to a non-Russian), the failed business was unwound, the remaining assets were then injected by the owners of those assets into a new business with a similar name, which was further topped up with new investment, bringing it up to a capitalization level enabling the new business to resume operation much as the failed business had done, with some people barely noticing the extensive legal remake, due to the similarity of name, similarity of key staff, similarity of assets controlled, and similarity of business methods employed.

Is my guess within a country mile? — MaxEnt 14:57, 6 November 2017 (UTC) Within a two country miles at least. Thank you very much for your criticism on wrong English, I've tried to correct. Mnewwell (talk) 08:02, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality

This article gushes praise for Milner and underplays any criticism, it even claimed that criticism was just lies. Thus it has a clear neutrality problem, so I am going to stick an NPOV tag on it until I or others can fix the neutrality issue. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 12:02, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vladimir Putin

Why is Vladimir Putin not mentioned even a single time in the current version of this article? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 23:48, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is from the wiki article on the VK company and I think it’s relevant and should be included in this bio: On 5 November 2017, the Paradise Papers, a set of confidential electronic documents relating to offshore investment, revealed that Russian state organizations with ties to Vladimir Putin pursued between 2009 and 2011 large investments in Facebook and Twitter via an intermediary—Russian-American billionaire and entrepreneur Yuri Milner, founder of Mail.ru and DST Global, who befriended Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and was a business associate of Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law 75.119.227.53 (talk) 03:01, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
