"This would deal a crushing blow to the feelings of many patriots and veterans," the tycoon pointed out, arguing that "the proud symbol of our history must not become a bone of contention between various agencies in the matter of its upkeep."
Prokhorov offered his charity fund to finance the Aurora's transfer to the city's budget and introducing it to modern museum conservation technologies to "make it as popular as international masterpieces like the USS Constitution and HMS Victory."
The businessman was listed as Russia's richest man in the latest Forbes magazine rating, with a net worth of 9.5 billion dollars.
Prokhorov heads Onexim group, a Russian investment fund specialised in new technologies after he stepped down as head of Norilsk Nickel, the world's biggest palladium and nickel producer.
