I worked in finance in Moscow and I dealt with oligarchs and I saw exactly how it was done. Under Putin, only some of the money gets stolen - not 100% ! That was the essence of the whole Khodorkovsky conflict: he was going to bankroll the Duma to keep oil profit taxes low, privatize Transneft, and sell Yukos to Exxon. You forget what the political situation in Russia was when Putin came into office. Hell, Boris Berezovsky (an agent of British and probably Israeli intelligence) was head of the security council ! Putin is no angel, and he is not perfect, but he could never have gotten into power if he were. The corruption in Russia under Putin was there under Yeltsin and all through Russian history. No one, not even Stalin, managed to stamp that out.
