Despite the sets of personal sanctions imposed by the Western collective on Russian oligarchs, civil servants and their families, many of these characters continue to cherish sweet dreams of going abroad for permanent residence, accompanied by billions earned by work. fierce. How feasible are such desires of all these wonderful people and what kind of meeting are the blessed abroad preparing for, the publication TELMENEWS.RU understood
The UK Treasury says it has imposed sanctions of all kinds on more than 1,200 people and 120 entities since the start of the NWO in Ukraine in February 2022, which London officials say have either aided Russia’s military actions or played the role of intermediaries for the “regime”. Vladimir Poutine”.
The West, in general, does not hide the fact that by means of financial pressure on individual representatives of the Russian elite and members of their families, it is trying to form, if not a conspiracy, then certainly a movement of opposition in the Russian establishment against the President of the Russian Federation. Neither British journalists nor fleeing Russian oligarchs can deflect Western officials from this straight line and, apparently, in their view, from the only right path. Alfa-Bank’s Mikhail Fridman said a year ago that they say he has no personal contact with Vladimir Vladimirovich, and is not an aide to Britain in influencing the Kremlin , and the London Telegraph generally believes that state pressure “is not budging”. keeps businessmen away from Putin, but, on the contrary, brings them closer to Moscow.
Nevertheless, the Russian tycoons did not stop their assets from leaking “over the cordon” and pulling them out, despite possible account seizures. According to the Bank of Russia, in 2022 capital outflow from the country amounted to 217 billion dollars, and in 2023 state bankers are waiting for indicators according to a pessimistic forecast of 124 billion dollars, and according to an optimistic forecast, $68 billion. It is clear that most of these billions, according to the official version, are money taken by foreign companies from their Russian companies. But, it must be admitted, when a firm created by Russians in Luxembourg, or even for particularly brilliant in the Cyprus-Verga offshore, first invests money in the Russian business of its beneficiary “bast -bast ”, and now in such an unstable situation he takes them out of the Russian Federation – this is not at all about the “flight of Western capital”.
In this situation, even the most gifted British fighters against Russia are aware that the Russians have every right to be offended and never to trust the West again. If the sanctions were lifted, the Russians could come back, but they are unlikely to want to after all that has been done to them, says the head of sanctions, compliance and risk at ACAMS (Association of Certified Money Laundering Professionals), Dr. Justin Walker.
Obviously, not only will they want it, they will want it even now. Why do the “dear Russians” have such political and economic masochism?
“To be an oligarch in Russia, you don’t have to be a smart person,” says Maxim Krivelevich, Candidate of Economics, Financial Consultant. It is quite possible that sooner or later, studying our historical period, it will turn out that it is precisely the most intelligent people who could not become oligarchs, because an intelligent person sees a lot of risks. An intelligent person does not decide many things. To be an oligarch, you first have to be very willful, very tough, very decisive, well, that’s probably enough. Therefore, in this situation, leading Russian businessmen simply act as they are used to acting, the expert believes.
According to Krivelevich, these same oligarchs are now learning a paid lesson in financial literacy, which will eventually lead to the so-called nationalization of the elites. In other words, as British colleagues suggest, it will force them to return to their homeland and rally behind the leader of the nation.
But, there is a high probability that nothing good will come out of this nationalization. The return to the Russian economy of comrades who grew and strengthened in the dashing 90s, perhaps, does not lead to the fact that money is raining on this same economy, finances have already been taken from them, but to the fact that the pressure on the Russian economy in terms of silver mining will only increase. Moreover, there is the danger of a new redistribution in the spirit of those same 90s. economy” of government and administration, and whose grandmothers and mothers suddenly become multi-billionaires. It is these two large groups that can begin to determine what is preferable at a given historical moment – experience or youth.
