List of prominent Russian nationals published by the U.S. Treasury in 2018
The list of Russian nationals named in the CAATSA unclassified report, also known as the CAATSA Report or "Putin list", was a list published by the
U.S. Treasury Department in 2018. It contained the names of 210 prominent Russians, including members of the government of Russian president
Vladimir Putin and alleged
Russian oligarchs.[1]
Although it was widely, and incorrectly, reported in the media that those on the list "may be subject to sanctions",[3] the CAATSA Report itself made clear that it "in no way should be interpreted to impose sanctions on those individuals or entities". It also specified that inclusion in the report "does not constitute the determination by any agency that any of those individuals or entities meet the criteria for designation under any sanctions program", and in no way indicates that "the U.S. Government has information about the individual's involvement in malign activities".[4]
The list below is from the unclassified section of the Section 241 (a)(1) section of the report.[2]
Controversy regarding the "oligarchs" section
The list of "oligarchs" submitted as part of one of the five reports delivered to Congress on 29 January 2018 included 96 names.[5][2][6]
According to the document itself, its criterion for inclusion as an "oligarch" was simply being a Russian with a net worth of over $1 billion.[2] The list was criticised for being indiscriminate, and including critics of Putin.[6]
Shortly after the list was released, it was reported that the Treasury Department had simply copied it from the
Forbes' 2017 "World Billionaires" list: people, including those with non-Russian citizenship on the Forbes list who had Russian heritage and a net worth of $1 billion or more, had been indiscriminately included in the CAATSA Report. In its response to a lawsuit asserting that the compilation of the list was "arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law",[7][8] the Treasury Department has confirmed that it is "not challenging" the allegation that it had "simply republished" the Forbes billionaires list.[8]

According to CNN, the people named on the list were:[1]
^The U.S. Treasury later released a letter stating that Dr. Gapontsev was a U.S. citizen, and would not have met the criterion for being regarded as an "oligarch".
