Shleifer, along with a lawyer named Jonathan Hay, helped lead a Harvard program, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, that was working to create the rudiments of a capitalist economy in Russia.

(Kokh, who joined the board of TNK, was investigated for his role in the auction, but no charges were brought.)

“What we’d like to do—and I think the university and myself share this vision—is to build the school of government for the twenty-first century,” he said. Some people at Warner speculate that Blavatnik’s teen-age son, who likes music, will one day run the company.
