sasha is greyromantic,     what that means for him is that he’ll fuck anything that moves but is uninterested in anything more.     alesya was his partner & i wouldn’t classify them as romantic,     but they were important to each other.     post-resurrection they’re technically still married,     but remain separated.     she’s busy with her work & uninterested in maintaining his appetite & he’s too intimidated by her to find her attractive.

when sasha buys out roxxon & moves into his manhattan office he’s at the peak of his power.     he’s got major political connections at this point despite the correct suspicion the government has that he’s collaborating with foreign powers & evidence of his associations with the city bratva.       but he’s got really good lawyers & a lobbying firm at his disposal.     he’s on the cover of time,     forbes & gq.     he’s invited to the met gala that year after his spread in gq gets anna’s attention,      but the most blatant flex of his wealth & power comes when his company aquires rockywater,     a water bottling subsidiary that earns kronas corp enough money for sasha to purchase the new york bulletin which published three critical pieces about kronas in the year previous,     effectively shutting down the biggest critics of himself to date.
