`== Recent additions, sources please === The article has recently been expanded with claims without sources, and outright rumours. I am deleting a few of them, but a larger review is needed. I also found a good source that may be used.     I likewise removed two unfounded rumours that had been added into this entry: a) that Abramovich looked into buying the Vancouver Canucks (not true) and b) that he had purchased the VIP1 automobile license plate formerly belonging to the Pope (also not true). You can find press stories for both rumours but, surprise, the press isn't always right. - J :Err, Number plate record price, Motoring News ?      == Kansas City Chiefs ==  Abramovich does NOT own the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs, they are owned by their founder, Lamar Hunt.    ==-ski== this suffix is not only polish. In russian -ski means belonging to some place, like ``of`` in english and ``von`` in german.  True. The -ski suffix is pan-Slavic, Polish, Russian, Checz, Ukrainian, etc. In fact, ``Russian`` in the Russian language is ``russki``. It would certainly be odd if Russians used a Polish construction to refer to themselves?  == Abramovich is a proud jew, ==  And as you can see by taking a look on other famous jews articles, it is written on their biography that they are jews (e.g. Albert Einstein, Franz Kafka, Natalie Portman). Judaism is not just his religion, he was born to the jewish people! His ancestry is Jewish! Go and learn some history before you remove the tag ``Jewish`` from his biography.  I just removed ``Jewish`` from the introduction. Notice, that the articles of the people listed in the above comment do not contain ``Jewish`` in the introductory sentence. Rather, the reference to their religion/ethnicity is contained in the Infobox. Please keep it there.   What does the title ``proud jew`` mean?  Does he really ``proudly`` advertise that he is jewish?  :: It is an important piece of information that would help to create a better picture of the figure. Therefore, I signified in the introduction that Roman Abramovich is a Jewish-Russian person. I have also changed the old link that lead to the article on the Russian ethnicity, which is irrelevant in this case. The link now leads to the Russian Federation, thus signifying his citizenship. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by   .  What do you mean by ``better picture``? How the picture from ``Jewish-Russian`` is better than the one where ``Jewish`` is placed in the Infobox? In addition to clarifying his/her statements, the previous user should register to add weight to his/her arguments.  As the article reads now, it doesn't seem to place undue weight on Abramovich's Jewishness (it is only mentioned once). However, whether or not he is a ``proud Jew`` or religious is not really important. Russia has a long history of virulent of antisemitism, and many Russians of all political stripes  whether or not they can be considered antisemitic  make a big deal out of the fact that many of the oligarchs who became wealthy after the fall of the Soviet Union are Jewish. Even many liberal, educated Russians believe uncritically in positive stereotypes about Jews (such as that they are good with money), and believe that Russian Jews often help each other out, much as do other minority groups (such as Caucasians and Central Asians). Because of the emphasis that others, especially Russians, place on the fact of his Jewishness makes it worth including no matter how he himself views the issue. As I don't know that there has been any special controversy about Abramovich in particular being Jewish (aside from the general ``many oligarchs are Jews`` idea), merely re-adding the Jewish tag seems appropriate (I can't imagine that he is any less religious than Einstein, Kafka, or Natalie Portman). If people really feel a more in-depth mention is important or informative, it should probably be discussed on the [[Russian_oligarchs#Russia]|oligarchs] page or somewhere else. Trying to ``prove`` whether he is sufficiently Jewish for it to be emphasized on his biogr
