_. The life peerage awarded to Evgeny Alexandrovich Lebedev, in the prime minister's dissolution honours list, has been gazetted in the name, style and title of Baron Lebedev, of Hampton in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and of Siberia in the Russian Federation, 19 Nov 2020.
I am struggling to find a previous instance of 'Siberia' being included in the territorial designation of a peerage.
Lord Lebedev (born 8 May 1980) is a Russian-British businessman, who is the owner of Lebedev Holdings Ltd, which owns the Evening Standard, The Independent and the TV channel London Live. In July 2020, Lebedev was nominated for a life peerage by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a move that drew criticism.
