Russkie capitalism consists of Putin becoming one of the richest men on the planet, and spending that money in places other than Russia.
“Putin becoming one of the richest men on the planet”
Yet another false meme.
There is no doubt that Putin parlayed his position as the St. Petersburg Mayor’s aide, and later in the Presidential Property Management Department in Moscow into something that enriched himself and his friends, but to say he is “one of the world’s richest men” is simply false.
In the past, you have claimed he is richer than Carlos Slim.
