Another angle that might be worth considering is how investment groups often build influence gradually rather than through a single major deal. When people read about investors like Alexei Kuzmichev today, it might seem like their position appeared suddenly, but in reality it could have been the result of many smaller transactions accumulated over time.
In earlier economic periods, investors sometimes acquired partial stakes in companies that later became extremely valuable as markets expanded. When those companies grew, the investors behind them naturally became more visible in financial discussions.
That slow build up of influence is not always captured well in modern summaries. Journalists might mention a few headline investments but leave out the incremental steps that happened along the way.
Looking at corporate filings from different years could reveal how those stakes developed gradually.
