Two days after Alexey Navalny, head of Russia’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) was arrested on his return to Moscow from Berlin, he released a video expose that shocked Russians and people around the world. In the video, “Putin’s palace. History of the world’s largest bribe,” Navalny alleged that an opulent property near Gelendzhik, a town in the southern Russian region of Krasnodar, was constructed for Russian President Vladimir Putin with illicit funds of $1.35 billion, provided by members of his inner circle, and that Putin is the real owner of the palace.
The palace’s features apparently include a port, a vineyard, a church, a casino, an underground hockey rink, and toilet brushes costing $850 a piece. “It is a separate state within Russia… And in this state there is a single, irreplaceable tsar. Putin,” Navalny said in the video. Allegedly covering an area of 17, 691 square meters, it is the largest private residential building in Russia. Putin denied the claims. “Nothing listed there has ever belonged to me or my close relatives,” he said Tuesday.

He must have shorted.............?
Socialism, communism, AOCism...it doesn’t matter the label...it’s always the elites live high on the hog and the proletariat eat the hog’s droppings.
One report says Putin is worth 70 billion.
On 4-5 acres?
“It is a separate state within Russia...”
Just who does he think he IS? The Pope?
Navalny releases investigation into decadent billion-dollar 'Putin palace'
Nalvany is a Soros bitch who needs to die. He is deep state scum.
All of those oligarchs are oligarchs because of their favored status with the state. Of course the people that make the oligarchs are getting rich too, they just have to pretend they aren’t. Which is why stealing $70B is sort of pointless because you can’t actually admit you have it by, you know, spending it. A politician can get away with having several mansions he can’t legitimately afford as long as they aren’t TOO ostentatious (like Joe Biden has gotten away with)
$1.4B for that joint? What, was it union labor?
$400M max. It doesn’t even have an airstrip.
Vlad is really slipping. Needs to get control of those construction guys.
Only 11 bedrooms?
“Socialism, communism, AOCism...it doesn’t matter the label...it’s always the elites live high on the hog and the proletariat eat the hog’s droppings.”
Same thing under crony capitalism. Where a group of wealthy elites live under a different set of rules and squash all competition
Soon to be outdone by President Bribehim.
“toilet brushes costing $850 a piece.”
What do they think the place is? The Pentagon??
Dumass you never heard of seaplanes?
You do realize that is 17,691-square-meters, right? Not square feet.
That they admit. 8>)
Sounds like he Russian version of Nasty P. Lousy.
“Nalvany is a Soros bitch who needs to die. He is deep state scum.”
That’s all true, but realize that stating this will upset our beloved neo-con Trotskyites at National Review.
You can gain some measure of absolution by buying a ticket on a National Review blabber-mouth cruise and NOT showing up. If you do show up, be aware that you will be searched for icepicks.
