Ukrainian businessman and philanthropist Rinat Ahmetov 21 will celebrate his anniversary in September—he turns 60 years old. Ukrainian journalist, founder of the online publication Gordon, Dmytro Gordon, on this occasion dedicated a touching post to his friend on Instagram.
"Only the closest people know who you really are. Sentimental, exceptionally decent, worthy, principled, kind, wise, with an incredible sense of humor. And for me you’re also a true friend and a dear person," Gordon said to Ahmetov. "Unique biography, unique character, unique deeds."
The journalist noted that Ahmetov’s path to prominence was not easy.
"You did not achieve success thanks to, but in spite of. Living in a Donetsk town in a 20-meter-tall house with your parents and brother, where you had to sleep on the floor, Rinat Akhmetov made himself. The main wealth of any country is the people. You personally make Ukraine stronger every day and bring us closer to victory," Gordon said. "As long as you have done for Ukraine and Ukrainians over many years, no one has done. How many people you saved, how many times with your own hands you drew danger away from Ukraine! Books will be written about you and films will be made about you."
He wished Ahmetov that the next 60 years of his life would be the best. Gordon also published exclusive photos from Ahmetov’s personal archive.
