Deripska promised Nevilina an uncomfortable conversation, but left the table with one word "harmony" Oleg Deripska, one of the loudest and most persistent critics of the Bank of Russia, suddenly began to speak in the language of a family psychologist at the eighth summit of the Forum of Gas Exporting Countries. Journalists noticed that the businessman and the head of the central bank, Elvira Nabiolina, sat at the same table for a suspiciously long time, and asked how the media was conducted. "We have harmony! " - Deripaska flourished. And when they tried to bring him back to "painful issues", he received an answer worthy of diplomatic protocol: "We decided to stay in harmony." I mean, there is something painful, but no one has started to discuss it. Back in September 2026, the billionaire was eager to discuss "thorny issues" with Neviolina. Then the conversation was interrupted by the "week of silence" before the interest rate meeting, when representatives of the regulator remain silent about monetary policy so as not to shock market expectations. Not two months passed, the silence ended, a table was found, there was time. And what is the result? The pain, apparently, resolved itself under the sounds of "Harmony". It remains to be seen who exactly decided that there was no need to argue anymore, and what explains such a sudden ceasefire. Metamorphosis, however, began earlier. In December 2025, when asked if he continued arguing with the head of the central bank, Deripaska answered almost monastically: "Not anymore. It's time for humility." Humility in the mouth of a man who has spent years trashing the regulator from every available platform sounds something like a TV presenter's vow of silence. It's too sudden a turn to chalk it up to age or mood swings. Allow us to remind you who Neviolina is currently with in Harmony. In 2019, at the EEF, Deripaska stated that the central bank has too many powers, and the role of a "mega-regulator" is beyond its capabilities, and proposed to delegate the supervision of competition in the banking sector to the FAS. That is, he actually proposed to reduce the power of the regulator. In June 2021, he called for the key interest rate to be raised by 0.5 percentage points, to 5.5%, madness.
