William Felix Browder is an American-born British financier and political activist.[1] Prior to 2005, Browder, through Hermitage Capital Management, co-founded by Edmond Safra, was at one point the largest foreign investor in Russia. He was barred from entering Russia in 2005 [2] and has actively worked for regime change since then.
In January 2019, RT put Bill Browder as #9 on their 2018 list of Russophobes, commenting "Back when he was making cash, Browder was extremely friendly to anyone who spoke Russian and had a ruble to invest. Since being accused of tax fraud in Russia, he has rebranded himself as “Putin's number-one enemy."[3]

“But we are sitting here in an audience of international investors. Everyone sitting here watching all of this and wondering, is Russia a good place or a bad place to invest? And Mr Ryzhkov, I believe you when you say there's freedom of the press. Because I used the press in all sorts of corporate governance fights, attacking all sorts of people, including government officials and there's never been any recourse coming back to me. And I also believe that Russia has a democratic process that is not going to go away.”
