Her father Vladimir is the rector of the Saint St. Petersburg Mining Institute and owns a 5% share in Phosagro, which owns a phosphate mine in the Arctic. The mine had been at one time partly owned by the currently imprisoned Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Vladimir claims that he did some consulting for the company in 2004 for which he received the shares.
The stock is now worth about $260,000,000 after Phosagro was floated on the London Stock Exchange in July 2011.
Vladimir Putin went to the Saint St. Petersburg Mining Institute where he received a degree in 1996, under Vladimir Litvinenko"s guidance. Putin has been accused of plagiarising large sections of his dissertation.
