Billionaire Putin tells Russian serfs to eat cake.

Putin got to where he is by being a shrewd kleptocrat. As post #19 indicates, this is more of the same.

“Putin got to where he is by being a shrewd kleptocrat. As post #19 indicates, this is more of the same.”

Take note of how the name Yelena Baturina keeps coming up in association with Putin’s big schemes.

She is the one who rallied the Oligarchs to pony up Billions to help with Sochi, and she built many of the hotels there.

She is the one behind the big Casino-Resort plan for Crimea, already intending to build at least three big hotels there.

Banning AG imports only creates more demand for all of the land she has been buying up in the last few years.

Now here is some trivia. Guess who Baturina considers to be her inspiration, and a friend. Donald Trump.
