Sergei Roldugin is Russian President Vladimir Putin's closest friend. They met when Putin was training to become a KGB officer at school, where Roldugin's brother was one of Putin's classmates. Roldugin introduced Putin to his future wife, Lyudmila, and the couple made him the godfather of their eldest daughter in 1985.

...Roldugin is not the only friend and confidant of Putin's mentioned in the Panama Papers. The reports mention Putin’s judo sparring partners, the wives of Putin’s spokesman and a governor, sons of economy and deputy interior ministers,...

Whenever I see “Panama Papers,” I immediately think of drug paraphernalia.

Hmmmm, islam’s worst enemy is Putin, is it a coincidence that this document dump hits so close to home for him?

Amazing how George Soros Open Society loves dishing dirt on Putin.

Why is that?

400 reporters kept the Panama Papers secret for a year. Here's how they pulled it off.

Putin is not mentioned directly at all in this document dump. Russians have offshore accounts? That elicits a yawn from Russians.

I wonder if the media in Russia does it the way the media over here in the US does it.

If you’ve not noticed, The LIST of people published here in the US suspiciously doesn’t have any American politicians or any of the various Soros funded groups on it ( which makes sense since the group that put out the list is funded by Soros).

Does the list published in Russia only have the names of Western tax dodgers ?

So frustrating! All the trash that gets leaked but never anything on Bambi’s grades, school records, passport records, cronies, partners in crime or sex, etc. Nothing!

But someone on here explained it as Soros funds these snoopers and probably funds counter-snooper-smashers who eliminate anything found on the sheltered one.

The scoundels laundering their ill gotten gains were largely blacklisted by the West.

What I notice is that Putin, the KGB man, has no counter revelations.

Where is the list of all the names of all the people and companies named in the Panama Papers?

And the list of all reporters that kept it quiet?
