The two men are depicted as being “close” to the flow Chelsea proprietor Roman Abramovich, who has proactively been authorized by the UK and the EU.

While Mr. Tenenbaum was hit with a sanction, Mr. Davidovich, who is depicted by Forbes as being Mr. Abramovich’s “much lower profile right-hand man”, got both a resource freeze and a movement boycott.
