Research gaps: Web search budget ran out mid-task (session cap 200), so research relied on direct fetches: current exact Nornickel % (Forbes: just over a third; 34.59% via Olderfrey as of 2021) and Interros' % in T-Technologies (reported 41.4% in Aug 2024, but finam.ru source 403'd) not verified from primary filings. UK sanctions listing date not fetched from gov.uk. No real estate, yacht ownership, or 2026 Nornickel reporting dates verified. Several items rest on Wikipedia.
