#KnowYourBillionaires ep. 1: LEN BLAVATNIK

I'm off work with a lot of spare time, so I'm gonna politics a little. You've been warned.

Harvard's president Dr. Claudine Gay was recently forced out of her position; supposedly over "plagiarism," (a couple/few very minor, purely technical errors on published work from decades ago); and her weak response to Hamas' attacks on Israel, which she later walked back mighty publicly. She was only in the job for 6 months.

LEN BLAVATNIK is of Ukrainian heritage, but he's a UK and US citizen. Blavatnik is worth $30,000,000,000.00 ($30b) and He's one of the Harvard donor billionaires who helped force Dr. Gay out, by threatening to withhold money. Blavatnik was also backing Chris Rufo, a provocateur who used his right wing media platform to ruin Gay, and successfully drum her out of her position.

This is an important read IMO. Blavatnik is one of the many faces of institutional racism in America. He denies connections to Putin but there is no question he made his money cashing in on aluminum when the Soviet Union collapsed - he is awash in Russian money, yet here he is helping to call the shots at Harvard.

There should be Billioniare Collectors Cards or something, so people know who's who.
