  "account": "Russian bailiffs have initiated 14 legal actions against former Rusnano director Anatoly Chubais, aiming to recover 17.74 billion rubles as compensation for the losses incurred by Rusnano. An additional 2.13 billion rubles will be collected as enforcement fees. Out of these proceedings, three have resulted in the freezing of Chubais's assets. The first freeze, amounting to 5.6 billion rubles, was imposed in April 2025. In December 2025, assets valued at 11.9 billion rubles were frozen due to a Rusnano lawsuit concerning the Crocus project. The most recent asset freeze, worth 5.5 billion rubles, occurred in April 2026. Chubais served as Rusnano's head from 2008 until his resignation in December 2020. He fled Russia in March 2022. Prior to his departure, Chubais penned a letter to President Vladimir Putin expressing his plea for an immediate cessation of the conflict with Ukraine. This letter was exposed in a report by Mariana Katzarova, the United Nations' special rapporteur on human rights in Russia. According to the report, Chubais was \"subjected to public criticism by the president\" following his letter's publication. Subsequently, Putin disclosed the discovery of \"a substantial financial deficit\" within the nanotechnology organization he once led.",
