March 21 (Bloomberg) -- Bloomberg’s Rob LaFranco examines how
sanctions against Russia for actions in Ukraine are impacting
billionaire Gennady Timchenko and other individuals on Bloomberg
Television’s “On The Move.”  Billionaires editor joins us.  One
of the names we are hearing is an arty timchenko.  Who is he and
how is he getting mixed up in this?  These are guys who have
long soviet history.  His father was a soviet officer.  He was
born in ukraine.  He is an armenian national.  He is a longtime
associate of vladimir putin.  He is very antagonistic about his
connections to putin.  He doesn't ever talk to the media.  We do
know that they met in the early 1990's as the soviet union was
crumbling.  They share this judo connection together.  How badly
has he been affected by sanctions?  Pretty badly.  He had a
worth of about $11 billion at the start of january.  It is now
$8.4 billio
