Elizaveta Osetinskaya's new guest is the legendary investor Leonid Boguslavsky, whose fortune is estimated at $2.7 billion. In the early 90s, he left his scientific career as a mathematician and went into business, becoming Oracle's exclusive partner in the Soviet Union. After meeting Michael Calvey, whom he calls his teacher, Boguslavsky created his first investment company, ru-Net Holdings, with him and other partners. In the interview, he explains why ru-Net invested in Yandex, how much he earned on it, how it got into the Forbes rating, but wanted to “jump out” of it, why the search engine was not sold to Google and why he invested in Ozon for 19 years, but left the company on the eve of its unprecedented growth? At the same time, Leonid Boguslavsky’s success is not limited to Russia. Since 2011, he has been investing in foreign companies, and now his portfolio includes 8 unicorn companies - Delivery Hero, RingCentral, DataDog, EPAM, Yandex, Zwift, Snapdeal and Knotel. Why and how often do foreign startups refuse Russian money? Why did Boguslavsky not buy VKontakte? Why does he prefer to invest only his own money, not borrowed money? What is his dream?
