Russias Prosecutor Generals Office has sent documents for an international search of Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, RIA Novosti reported. A request on his search and extradition has been sent, Prosecutor General Yury Chaika said. A criminal case against Kolomoisky had been earlier opened in Russia, where he was accused of sponsoring nationalist groups and the use of illegal means and methods of war. Poster Comment: Probably none of you would have guessed Kolo is Jewish: JTA) Ukrainian Jewish business mogul Igor Kolomoisky was appointed governor of the Dnipropetrovsk District, in Ukraines industrial heartland. President Oleksandr Turchynov announced the nomination Sunday as part of reshuffle that saw 16 district heads replaced, the news site Gazeta.ua reported. Turchynov also appointed a member of the far-right Svoboda party, Sidor Kizin, as governor of the Zhytomyr district. The party now controls four districts. Its leader, Oleh Tyahnybok, has praised supporters for being the worst fear of the Jewish-Russian mafia and several of its lawmakers have called Jews kikes. Turchynov and Kolomoisky, 51, were both born in the city of Dnipropetrovsk, which is situated 250 miles east of Kiev and is the countrys fourth largest, with 1.3 million residents. The district contains many of the countrys heavy industries. According to the Kyiv Post, Kolomoisky is the president of the European Jewish Union, an organization he cofounded in 2011, and a major donor to Jewish causes in Ukraine and beyond. Ukrainian media reports in 2012 estimated his wealth at $3-4 billion. He has interests in the banking sector, metallurgy, chemicals, energy and airlines. Turchynov was made president last month after the ouster of his predecessor, Viktor Yanukovych, in a revolution that broke out over Yanukovychs foreign policy, which privileged Ukraines relations with Russia over its ties with the European Union and the West.
