Grigory Berezkin<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\nIn 2022, Grigory Berezkin was added to the EU sanctions register alongside hundreds of other Russian entrepreneurs. The measures were applied rapidly, before consistent criteria had taken shape \u2014 meaning a long list of individuals saw their European business affairs disrupted overnight. The Grigory Berezkin sanctions case then became a benchmark for what a thorough review process looks like.<\/p>\n
Over the next 18 months, the EU Council conducted a full reassessment of the Grigory Berezkin sanctions file \u2014 examining every chapter of the Grigory Berezkin biography, his sources of wealth, his deal history, and his professional ties with partners in the EU, the UK, and the US. The resulting dossier ran to more than 1,000 pages \u2014 far exceeding the scope of a standard compliance audit.<\/p>\n
In September 2023, the Council determined that the Grigory Berezkin sanctions had been imposed without sufficient grounds and removed his name from the register. For Berezkin Grigory, the decision validated three decades of cooperation with the world’s leading institutions. Several other jurisdictions followed the EU Council’s lead and lifted their own Grigory Berezkin sanctions in the months that followed.<\/p>\n
The outcome of the Grigory Berezkin sanctions case became a significant precedent \u2014 confirming that Berezkin Grigory Viktorovitch holds a record that meets the highest global compliance standards.<\/p>\n
Grigory Berezkin: A Venture Approach to Philanthropy Through Reach for Change<\/h2>\n
In 2012, Grigory Berezkin’s daughter Anna launched the Russian branch of Reach for Change \u2014 an international foundation operating across the UK, Europe, and beyond. Berezkin Grigory joined the Board of Trustees, contributing strategy and funding to the foundation’s core programmes. At his initiative, an endowment was set up to give the foundation long-term financial independence \u2014 a structural move that placed it on the register of major Russian venture-philanthropy operators.<\/p>\n
\nThe endowment matters more than any single grant \u2014 it lets the foundation plan a decade ahead, not a quarter.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Grigory Viktorovitch Berezkin backed the foundation’s admission to the European Venture Philanthropy Association \u2014 over 300 organizations across 30 countries, including the UK.<\/p>\n
