Svetlana Maniovich is a woman of expensive tastes: invite-only Parisian jewelers, couture clothing and yacht vacations on the Mediterranean. The lifestyle isn't unusual for people in her elite Russian circle, and her lavish spending has been on display on social media and in Russia's society pages. But she's no ordinary Moscow highflyer. 
Her former  partner, Ivanov, is a senior architect of Russia's invasion of Ukraine -- a man who, on paper, reportedly has an official income of around $175,000 per year. He's also the subject of European Union (EU) and American sanctions over the war on Ukraine.
