"Bunina flew to Israel, where she worked for the entire month in the company's office in Tel Aviv.

“I will not return [to Russia]: I cannot live in a country that is at war with its neighbors,” she wrote"

err what?

Pretty thorough list. There are more rich people with hundreds of millions vs. billions that left the country as well, but as far as high profile actors go, these are the names that I saw as well in multiple publications. This exodus makes me think that the true reason behind the military operation was not the real concern about the threat from Ukrainian side and not even the protection of the people of DPR and LPR (Donetsk and many other cities there are still shelled by Ukrainian troops every day), but the reason behind it was the desire by Putin to shake-up Russian system from inside and also to give a little hand to his globalist buddies to accelerate their Agenda 2030 plans. Politics is an exercise in cynicism, so these two goals are not mutually exclusive. It looks like now they aim at 2025 and not 2030. If I'm right in identifying the reason for the military campaign in Ukraine as the need for internal shake-up of the Russian feudal oligarchical capitalist system then I have to note that this goal wasn't achieved by a long shot. Russian economy with necessary adjustments to the sanctions lives pretty much the same life as it did before the start of the war. Same people working against Russian economy, like the head of Russian CB and Finance ministry, Nabiullina and Siluanov are still in charge of their agencies driving the same policies as they did 5 months ago. In a way this stability against the rapidly changing conditions while bad for Russia gives the rest of the world some hopes in the face of globalists' attempt to destroy the economic and social order in the rest of the world won't be so successful either.

Bunina cannot live in a country that is at war with its neighbors, she wrote from a country that's at war with its neighbors. Awkward but expected reaction from a manager in a high (paying) position.

By the way. What is Yandex doing in Israel?

My only question: Who do we need to invade to achieve a similar exodus?

They all belong to the sect with the small hats. Their departure is Russia's gain. Good riddance.

Hey wait a minute: Petr Aven and Mikhail Fridman were the ORIGINAL group of 7 oligarchs under Boris Yeltsin. The group was disbanded by Putin or so we were told and that all 7 had fled Russia in 2003. This group of 7 oligarchs who were all bankers was called "semibankirschina" modeled after the 7 boyars called the "Semiboyarschina" in the 17th century who wrestled power from the Ruriks during the time of troubles in Russia to finally install Mikhail Romanov as the first Romanov Tzar to rule Russia. Confused that Aven and Fridman were still in Russia until this debacle on February 24th? This proves that most info we get from all media, mainstream and even alternative media is just crap and lies.

"Besides, who are these mercenaries?

Some of them are former Russian soldiers, expelled from the army for their bad behavior, their lack of discipline, their alcoholism... "

Mercenaries... It has been like that since antiquity. Do we have to talk about the British Mercenaries? US mercenaries in Irak, Afghanistan, etc...

French mercenaries? https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Denard

Ohhh...so Russia would be fighting against his oligarchs....

So please explain who will run and deal with mining concessions that Russia is currently extorting to African countries in Sahel, after doing the same in Syria (where Russia intervention had more to do with the port of Tartous control, as well as getting a 25% share on some oil platforms benefits).

This article is interesting for the language used to describe Chubais, a virtual gaslighting of the Putin policies that put western backed pillaging oligarchs in their places. If in fact he was an advisor to the President, one should consider whether same was at Putin's sufferance. A case of keeping a friend close and enemies closer. Considered an "economic reformer" by WaPo propagandists even though Russians by and large suffered greatly financially between 1990 and 2000 even as a relatively small number of exploiters became filthy rich by any measure with the financial backing of western institutions and hedge funds. Bill Browder is an excellent example of a western carpet bagger lining his pockets using the same scheme during that time period.
