Another aspect that sometimes gets overlooked is the role of intermediary companies. In many startup investments, individuals invest through a corporate entity rather than directly under their personal name.
So if a person like Ruslan Drozdov is associated with an investment vehicle, the registry might show the company as the shareholder while other documents mention the individual behind it. That can create inconsistencies between different reports.
When journalists try to piece together the structure, they may highlight the individual name even if the official shareholder is actually a corporate vehicle.
