DESCRIPTION:
Explore the intricate web of financial ties between Russia and Cyprus in this revealing video. Estimated to have received over $200 billion from Russian investments, Cyprus has become a financial haven for Russian billionaires seeking to circumvent scrutiny. Delve into the history of this unlikely alliance, from the Soviet era to the present day, as the video uncovers the geopolitical motivations behind Russia's influence in Cyprus.
Witness the impact of recent events, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which triggered heightened scrutiny from Western governments. Discover the role Cyprus played as a sanctuary, allowing Russian elites to safeguard their assets despite global crackdowns. Limassol, once known as "Limassolgrad" due to its Russian-speaking community, emerges as a city shaped by Russian wealth, with luxury assets and high-rise developments.
From the creation of a Russian-controlled bank to the controversial Golden Visa program, the video exposes how Cyprus facilitated the influx of Russian money, raising questions about the island's role in international finance. Uncover the revelations from leaked documents, exposing how Cyprus has been used to conceal assets and evade sanctions, leading to a global investigation and promises of change from the Cypriot government.
As the video takes you through the divided history of Cyprus and its complex relationship with Russia, witness the shifting dynamics in the aftermath of the War in Ukraine and the pandemic. Explore the implications of sanctions on the Russian community in Cyprus and the emergence of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as a new destination for Russian money.
In the end, the video leaves viewers questioning the extent of Cyprus's involvement in shady dealings with Russian oligarchs, highlighting the ongoing struggle to address the consequences of an addiction to easy money. As the Republic of Cyprus attempts to clean up its act, the Northern half appears to be picking up the slack, leaving Cyprus at the center of a global conflict between Russia and the West.

Great video! I had no idea about the Russian connection to all of this, thank you for enlightening me.
Great journalism. I learned a lot from this.
I want to point out that, while the video is great, the script has a small fault. When it said that Limassol is host to many Russian churches, it should have specified if it meant churches with Russian speaking priests and maybe a bishop controlled directly by the Moscow Patriarchy. Because the Cypriot Greeks are Orthodox just like the Russians and therefore the churches are interchangeable and the services are the same, except for the language of the service and the date of Christmas because of the church calendar difference between Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania, on one side, and Russia, Serbia et al, which celebrate Christmas on Jan 7th because of the Julian calendar. So every church in Cyprus is a Russian church for theological purposes.
Yes, Cyprus is helping Russians now. But let’s remember recent history: in 1989 Russian oligarchs came in power thanks to::: the US supporting Elsine. And while Russia uses Cyprus, how about western billionaires and millionaires avoiding taxes by having offshore accounts in jurisdictions that were created by the UK and Bank of England… a coin always has two faces. It would be good to hear about the second side in the near future…
The introductions of Limasol and back to back didn't flow too smoothly and could've been done more smoothly with the worst part being the mention of "this is x" two times basically right after another. It could have worked better as perhaps somehting like this with the second part: "Limasol is located in southern Cyprus, which is located in the eastern mediterranean..."
The flag map could've been a bit more sharp, as for example the green zone imo blended too much into the background.
Loved the rhymes of the outro :D
Vladimir Yakunin currently resides in Cyprus 🤔🤔🤔
Best peace so far, but lack stronger punch line at the end to my taste... nevertheless its opens a window... ups... if Russia is involved than safer phrase is... its opens a door for second part...
Hij heeft er niet bij verteld of hij russian of ukranian is, hij wilde gewoon het zonnetje even laten schijnen vanaf het spaanse water
First of all: The main offshore was the Netherlands. Secondly, Russian money from Cyprus is actively returning to Russia. And that's a good thing. Thanks to the sanctions
Что-то с просмотрами совсем печальненько стало. Закупи ботов, "ирландец".
Алло мире не должно быть ячейки для отмывания денег те должно быть ни одного острова где не действуют санкции если хочет мир жить мире без войны !!! Отмыть деньги биллионы войны гибнут люди голод если люди не нужны есть атом пусть действует горит планеты так лучше чем бегут окопы голод !!
as much as i blame cyprus,i blame more the european union and the west in general for allowing this. let them join the russian federation,but if they want to be members of the european union they must follow the rules.despicable bahaviour.
