In 2000, Alexander Shusterovich, a Russian-American millionaire, tried to give $ 250 to the thousands of the Republican party in support of the presidential campaign of George W. Bush, who was the governor of Texas. As soon as the party officials checked who Shusterovich was, they realized that they did not want to see his name in the list of donors of their party, and refused him.

All because of the fact that a potential uranium deal between Russia and the United States failed. The reason for this were Clinton’s warnings about bribing the Russian government. As it turned out, the company Pleiades Groupwhich belonged to Shusterovich, was a mediator in the transaction.

The failure of the transaction almost became an international scandal, but this did not prevent Trump and his inaugural committee. In 2017, the committee took the proposed $ 1 million from the oligarch, according to the Federal Election Commission.

Shusterovich was born in Moscow and moved to the United States as a child. He told in an interview Wiredthat he had good relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Previously, he was engaged to Ksenia Sobchak, the daughter of Putin’s political benefactor. According to rumors, Putin is the godfather Sobchak, who went to the opposition.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request to comment on why Shusterovich was recognized as a suitable sponsor after the Republican Party had previously refused him.

As it turned out, the Russian businessman was not the only donor with Soviet roots, from whom the Trump committee accepted donations. $ 1 million received from the company Access Industrieswhich belongs to the oligarch and the American, originally from the USSR, Len Blavatnik. He made his fortune by investing in commodities in post-Soviet Russia. In 2015, Oxford University came under heavy pressure and turned down tens of millions of pounds donated by Blavatnik because of his “corporate abuses” in Russia. The oligarch took the money.

Trump's inaugural committee raised a total of $106 million and Obama's raised $53 million for the 2009 inauguration.

Recall that the FBI investigates links between Trump's colleagues during last year’s campaign and Russians who tried to influence the election by hacking the Democrats website. Komi said that Trump asked him to abandon the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn, whom Trump dismissed because he refused to disclose information about his contacts with foreign governments.
