- Nikolay Vasilevich ArefyevPublic office-holderRU
Also recorded as: Nikolaj Vasiljevitj AREFJEV · Николай Васильевич АРЕФЬЕВ · Nikolay Vasilyevich AREFYEV
A member of the Russian State Duma (b. 11 Mar 1949), separately sanctioned by the EU (since Feb 2022) and listed on the US OFAC SDN list.
Why the mix-up: Shares the identical surname АРЕФЬЕВ/AREFYEV with the EU-listed CMRBank banking executive; both are Russian nationals independently designated under EU Russia sanctions, so a surname-only screen surfaces both as a separate ProofAML corpus record.
How to tell them apart:- Different given name and patronymic (Nikolay Vasilevich vs. the listed Ruslan Georgievich) and a 25-year DOB gap (11 Mar 1949 vs. 20 Mar 1974)
- State Duma legislator, not a banking executive -- no known link to CMRBank or CMRBank Abkhazia
