How capricious and fickle fortune! And along with it and the mood of the French authorities. Just four years ago, prominent Russian businessman Mikhail Prokhorov was detained in Courchevel as a suspect in organizing an international prostitution network. And now the French Ambassador to Russia Jean de Gliniasty presented the oligarch with the Order of the Legion of Honor for expanding cultural ties between our countries.
At a reception at the French embassy, Mikhail Prokhorov appeared with his sister Irina. Irina Prokhorova heads a charitable foundation created by her brother. The Prokhorov Foundation took an active part in holding the Russia-France cross year, in particular, financed the tour of the St. Petersburg Maly Drama Theater in Paris, and also organized the Unknown Siberia festival in Lyon.
At the beginning of 2007, the adventures of billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov with a company of pretty girls in Courchevel were one of the most discussed topics of the gossip column. In September 2009, the case was closed. However, all this time, residents of Rublevka actually boycotted the famous resort.
“Mr. Prokhorov has a sincere craving for art,” noted French Ambassador Jean de Gliniasty, presenting the order to the patron. "He also focuses on new technologies." As Glomu.ru specifies, the diplomat hinted at a new brainchild of Mr. Prokhorov - "e-mobile", created in conjunction with the French corporation Bollore.
Mikhail gave a speech of gratitude in French, warning that he had not studied the language before, but managed to take only a couple of lessons.
“First of all, let me express my gratitude for such a high award. This is a great honor for me,”Prokhorov said in front of the assembled audience. Prokhorov's French turned out to be quite bearable - the ambassador assured that he understood everything.
