  • Berezovsky made his fortune in Russia in the 1990s when the country went through privatization of state property[15] He profited from gaining control over various assets, including the country's main television channel, Channel One. In 1997 Forbes magazine estimated Berezovsky's wealth at US$3 billion.[16] He was at the height of his power in the later Yeltsin years, when he was deputy secretary of Russia's security council, a friend of Boris Yeltsin's influential daughter Tatyana, and a member of the Yeltsin "family" (inner circle).[17] Berezovsky helped fundUnity – the political party, which formed Vladimir Putin's parliamentary base,[18] and was elected to the Duma on Putin's slate.[19] However, following the Russian presidential election in March 2000, Berezovsky went into opposition and resigned from the Duma.[20] After he moved to Britain, the government took over his television assets,[21] and he divested from other Russian holdings. In 2012, Berezovsky lost a London High Court case he brought over the ownership of Sibneft against Roman Abramovich, in which he sought over £3 billion in damages.[22] The court judged Berezovsky as an "inherently unreliable" witness, who "regarded truth as a transitory, flexible concept, which could be moulded to suit his current purposes" and that "At times the evidence which he gave was deliberately dishonest; sometimes he was clearly making his evidence up as he went along in response to the perceived difficulty in answering the questions."[23][24]The court concluded that Berezovsky had never been a co-owner of Sibneft.[25] Berezovsky was found dead at his home, Titness Park, at Sunninghill, near Ascot in Berkshire, on 23 March 2013.[26][27] A post-mortemexamination found that his death was consistent with hanging and that there were no signs of a violent struggle.[28] However the coroner at the inquest into Berezovsky's death later recorded an open verdict.[29]
