Which Caribbean nation's citizenship did Pavel Durov take during his traveling years?

  • Jamaica

  • Barbados

  • Saint Kitts and Nevis

  • Trinidad and Tobago

Answer

In the early 2010s, Pavel Durov, the creator of the social media network VKontakte, left Russia and traveled around the world. While traveling, Durov took the citizenship of Saint Kitts and Nevis. This is because Saint Kitts and Nevis offers a citizenship-by-investment program, which allows wealthy individuals to purchase citizenship for a significant fee. Durov's citizenship in Saint Kitts and Nevis allowed him to avoid Russian taxes and censorship.
