Buddy showed me this video the other day and I had to look into it more. Putin was pissed that the million/billionaires in the room were not doing what they were supposed to be doing. In depth video below with a thank you 10 years later from the people he helped.
In a Russia that needed stuff fixed, they needed and wanted someone who can get sh!t done. That's why Russian incomes went up 10X back to a liveable standard. People can't live on $2k a year with capitalist prices. They country was in the hands of foreigners and was being stripped of it assets. The politicians were all being bribed by the west to help destroy Russia. What choice did they have?
Putin knows these billionaires stole everything they have. They're afraid because they know they are crooks that should be in prison. I don't feel bad for the crooked clepto-billionaire.

Putin/Yeltsin gave these billionaires everything they have. They're afraid because they know they are crooks that should be in prison. I don't feel bad for the crooked clepto-billionaire.

Yeltsin gave. There was nothing LEFT to give by the time Putin got elected.
