Alan Lushnikov: Russian Oligarch Sanctioned for Role in Ukraine War
Alan Lushnikov initiated his political career journey in the year 2000 when he became part of the Russian Federation’s Ministry of Transport. Within the ministry, he fulfilled various roles, progressing from the position of Deputy Head of the Department for International Cooperation to eventually serving as Deputy Minister. In 2012, he assumed the role of Assistant to Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister, Arkady Dvorkovich. His career continued to ascend, culminating in his appointment as Deputy Minister of Transport in the Russian Federation in 2017. However, he chose to step down from this position in September 2018.
In August 2019, Lushnikov assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer at Perspektiva LLC, a prominent Russian investment firm. Additionally, he holds positions on the boards of numerous other companies, including the well-known Russian arms manufacturer, Concern Kalashnikov JSC.
JSC Kalashnikov Concern is a Russian developer and manufacturer of army equipment, including personal rifles, missiles and vehicles. It is directly controlled by Rostec. Vikhr-1 guided aircraft missiles and AK-12 assault rifles produced by JSC Kalashnikov Concern were used by the Russian Armed Forces during Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine in 2022.
He is therefore responsible for supporting materially or financially actions which undermined or threatened the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Russia’s defense corporations and individuals affiliated with them benefit from the ongoing war of aggression of Russia against Ukraine.
JSC Kalashnikov Concern both contributes to the supply of arms to the Russian Armed Forces and benefits from the growing need for arms. Therefore, Alan Lushnikov is benefitting from the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.
A discernible pattern of affiliations links Alan Lushnikov to Vladimir Putin. Lushnikov is a member of Putin’s political party, he provides consultancy services to the Russian government, he holds a position on the board of directors of a significant Russian defense industry firm, and he has faced sanctions from Western authorities due to his associations with Putin. These associations suggest a close alliance with Putin and indicate that he holds a significant role within the Russian administration.
