> Dmitry Kamenshchik left Russia in 2025 after authorities enforced a court order seizing Domodedovo Airport, his representative told Forbes. He later obtained Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return and now lives in Tel Aviv, where he remains active in business. The airport was nationalized in June 2025 and sold for 66 billion rubles, about half its market value. Prosecutors alleged it had come under “foreign influence.”
