Ivan Streshinsky left the board of directors of Alisher Usmanov's USM holding, as well as the boards of directors of its constituent companies. This was reported to RBC by the USM press service.

“Ivan Streshinsky resigned from the boards of directors of the YueSeM (USM) holding company, as well as Metalloinvest, MegaFon and Udokan Copper,” the press service said.

On April 12, the United States imposed sanctions against USM, Metalloinvest and MegaFon, as well as against companies and people that Washington claims are associated with the businessman, including Streshinsky.

In November 2021, Forbes reported that Streshinsky received another 2% of the shares from the main owner of the USM holding, Alisher Usmanov, which increased his stake in USM to 5%. This allowed Streshinsky to enter the Forbes list of billionaires with an estimated fortune of $ 1.3 billion (now it is $ 950 million).

In April 2022, Streshinsky left the post of CEO of USM, Yerkozha Akylbek became the head of the holding. In February of that year, Alisher Usmanov was sanctioned. A USM representative said that the appointment of Akylbek to the post of CEO had nothing to do with the sanctions and was planned earlier.
