Viatcheslav Kantor is a Russian, British and Israeli businessman who serves as President of the European Jewish Congress and has been described as an oligarch under sanctions tied to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The 2020 opening paragraph said he is engaged in the fight against racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, neo-Nazism and intolerance. Today the opening carries the word nowhere, though antisemitism survives 6 times in the body, and instead foregrounds his sanctions history. A reader today learns about his oligarch status and sanctions listing, not that he described his own public role as combating antisemitism.
