The President of Russia is not going to “dispossess” the Russian oligarchs.
This was said by economist Mikhail Khazin, according to the DEITA.RU news agency with reference to the “Moscow speaks” radio.
According to him, Vladimir Putin is determined to consolidate the whole of Russian society, and therefore it simply does not make sense for him to sow enmity between the Russian authorities and representatives of big business, even if they received the lion’s share of their assets during the privatization of the 1990s.
Instead of dividing and scaring the oligarchs, as the expert explained, the Russian leader will do his best to ensure that the wealthy return their capital to Russia and from abroad and use it for the development of our state.
Moreover, Putin let them know that if they should be afraid of “dispossession”, then only in the West, where their homes and other assets have already begun to be arrested, confiscated and also frozen all other assets. The path indicated by the President is therefore very beneficial to them.
