Evgeny Alexandrovich Lebedev, Baron Lebedev[1] (Russian: Евгений Александрович Лебедев, romanized: Evgeniy Aleksandrovich Lebedev,[a]pronounced[jɪvˈɡʲenʲɪjˈlʲebʲɪdʲɪf]; born 8 May 1980), is a Russian-British businessman, who owns Lebedev Holdings Ltd, which in turn owns the Evening Standard and ESTV (London Live). He is also an investor in The Independent.[3]
In July 2020, Lebedev was nominated for a life peerage by British prime minister Boris Johnson for philanthropy and services to the media, a move that drew criticism.[4][5][6] He was appointed to be a crossbench life peer in the House of Lords as Lord Lebedev in November 2020.[7] His full title is Baron Lebedev, of Hampton in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and of Siberia in the Russian Federation.[8]
