Slava Solodkiy's "Navalny Card" emerges as a cautionary tale for aspiring revolutionaries. The book delves into the absurdities of modern finance, the chilling efficiency of authoritarian control, and the enduring human capacity for hope and self-deception.
The year is 2012, and the world of fintech is abuzz with the birth of Bitcoin and the idea of weaponizing finance. Enter the "Navalny Card," a seemingly innocuous piece of plastic that promised to turn every flat white purchase into a tiny act of rebellion. The pitch is simple: 1% of each transaction, siphoned from the bank's own fees, would flow to Alexei Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation. The response is enthusiastic, with thousands clamoring for this financial symbol of defiance. The Navalny Card is not merely a financial instrument; it is a membership card to the "We're Not Afraid" club. The Navalny Card is a story of both hope and disappointment. It is a reminder that financial freedom is an illusion for those deemed politically inconvenient. This is not a story of unicorns, but of a dangerous idea that might have made a dent in the universe.
The second part of the book belongs to Slava's fintech journey from the Russian opposition's 'Navalny Card' to the Arival Bank Pte Ltd in Singapore (2017): and it's way from Finovate to OpenSanctions watchlist (2023). These questions will help to paint a clearer picture of Arival Bank's current state, the individuals who control it, and the potential risks and challenges it faces:
• Who is Mr. Vladimir Polyakov? - This question is central to the book's investigation, as Mr. Polyakov is the primary UBO of Arival Bank. Establishing his identity and background is crucial to understanding the bank's current ownership structure and the motives behind the secrecy surrounding it.
• Any connection with Monocrystal and Energomera (and Rostec)? - This question explores the possibility that Mr. Polyakov is connected to companies linked to the Russian military-industrial complex, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the bank's exposure to geopolitical risks.
• Who is Javonsher Rashidovich Abdullaev? - As one of the majority shareholders and directors, Abdullaev's background and connections are relevant too.
• Who stays behind Polyvalent Capital? - This question aims to uncover the true beneficiaries of Polyvalent Capital, one of the investment funds that controls a significant portion of Arival Bank's shares too.
• Who is Shukrullo (Shukur) Israilov? - Israilov's background and potential connections to controversial entities raise questions about his involvement in Arival Bank and the risks he may pose.
• Any connection with ENRC, RosCongress, IFTI, Paradise Papers? - Israilov's potential ties to controversial entities, raising questions about the potential risks he may bring to Arival Bank.
These questions will contribute to the book's investigative focus and its goal of promoting transparency and accountability in the financial world.

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
