Some Western investors who have remained in Russia say they have come under pressure to sell up, being offered bargain-basement prices and threatened with effective expropriation.

Deripaska has also been subjected to sanctions by the United States, which in 2018 took measures against him and other influential Russians because it said they were profiting from a Russian state engaged in "malign activities" around the world.
