He is also an investor in The Independent. 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 widespread criticism due to Lebedev's father having been a KGB agent. He was appointed to be a crossbench life peer in the House of Lords as Lord Lebedev in November 2020. Read more on Wikipedia
