"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"

It's only cinema. Thanks to Putin, Russia is currently extorting uranium, gold mines in Africa.

Who will run these mining concessions if not Russian oligarchs?

I think the costs of Empire in a world that has been fully discovered is an unsupportable cost. The need to go to war to maintain the Empire being too difficult and expensive.

Nobody in the upper echelons has figured this out yet. Instead they plan on reducing their capital base having blamed us for their current predicament.

Uranium, gold and diamonds, oil and gas fields, bring unestimated resources to Russia, and help her cope with the sanctions without problems.

The dirty gold is sent to United Arab Emirates.

But also to London where the dirty money flows to be laundered. London was renamed LONDONGRAD :

London and Moscow don't need to go to war, African leaders are sufficiently corrupted.

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.

Interesting theory which needs to be investigated further. I have a layman thinking and questioning. The special military operation is directing a lot of money toward the Russian military-industrial complex, obviously. Wouldn't it change some important balance of power inside Russia?

Expand full comment

Because I must admit that I am slightly expecting an answer to my question, I will change the question. Couldn't the war and the huge money it involves, somehow shift the power in Russia from those who left to those who remained and have different business?

Expand full comment

Yes, in theory this move with starting the war was supposed to give more power to "Siloviki", e.g. people involved in military-industrial complex, army, law enforcement agencies etc. But it seems that five months after the start of the operation the essential balance of power in Russia didn't change. Yes, the liberal block had some minor losses, the biggest example is departure of the most hated man in Russia - Anatoliy Chubais, but in a way his departure from the scene has benefited them, since it removed a major irritant that played a big role in setting people against the liberals in Russian government. My theory, that is backed by 20 years of observing and analyzing Russian politics, is that the agreement that brought Putin to power in 1999 was giving him free rein in "Siloviki" power realm, but set the finance and general economy outside the boundaries for him. They, the financiers, are still taking their orders from IMF and Federal Reserve. So his action of starting the war was designed to cause an earthquake in the power structures that would change the balance of power. But just like Ukraine military that turned out to be more resilient than expected, liberals entrenched in Russian financial and economic government block also decided not to give up their positions so easily. Now we entered the period of the war of attrition, both on the military front and the internal power struggle and can expect results either way by spring time next year.

more and more I agree with this assessment. To me it seems as if Putin is either unwilling or unable to take charge of large sections of Russian policy. It's difficult to understand why this is, under the circumstances. I think your theory is perhaps the most logical one.

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?

Expand full comment

Perhaps she means a country that initiates the war with its neighbors as Israel operates more from a defensive position. They have regularly been attacked at intervals over decades. Russia did the invading here. However, Ukrainians had been harming other Ukrainians for years, too, so all this is complicated.

I seems that Israel was created out of expelling the native populations isn't it?...Furthermore it has never stop expending to illegally at the expense of the natives.

Yes, I agree with Slava Rossiya completely. True colors ALWAYS appear during times of troubles. Loyalty and disloyalty can easily be distinguished. Even before Russia's "special military operation", these Russian oligarchs were despised. I was just in Russia and the Russians that I spoke to (in English since I am a lazy American) already know that the Russian oligarchs have stolen Russian wealth and transferred Russian wealth to USA/UK/EU.

I ONLY WISH the Russian Health Care minister was VOCALLY AGAINST Russia's "special military operation" and LEAVE too! The FSB NEEDS to surveil ALL communications of the Russian Health Care minister because he is a closet clandestine operative for EVIL.

* I also appreciate Riley's research on Russian oligarchs.*

Also of note> Former Chelsea owner Abramovich, metals and mining magnate Alisher Usmanov, as well as Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven, longtime bosses of Alfa Bank, one of the Russia’s largest, have all filed separate lawsuits over the sanctions with the EU’s General Court, according to Wall Street Journal. These Russian oligarchs ask the EU's second-highest court to annul the sanctions on them, claiming their rights have been infringed and disputing their ALLIANCE, ALLEGIANCE, and allegedly close ties with the Kremlin. Abramovich, for instance, has cited his Portuguese citizenship in the filings, claiming that the EU sanctions have breached fundamental rights supposedly protected by the EU itself, according to the WSJ report.

Bloomberg also reported, citing sources, that the EU is considering removing the restrictions it had imposed on Russian oligarchs. According to the outlet, some 40 Russians have sought to be removed from the sanctions list, with some 30 taking the matter to court and a further ten addressing the EU directly.

In my opinion, the EU will remove their sanctions on these poor Russian oligarchs knowing that these poor Russian oligarchs are very loyal to the EU.

Like the writer of the article underlines is that it would mean that Russia has built 280 universities for each African countries!!

This is utterly ridiculous, like the claim that the infamous Wagner group,(like ALL mercenary business) is militarily invading Africa, especially Mali.

There are no Russian school or University in Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Benin etc...

Hi Perception Deception,

We surely can get along and share disagreements in a positive ways. As I have already written I trod on with different theories because, ultimately, the truth is in we being here and now, breathing and having a well meaning look at the madness around. Reality is very complex my friend and it is dangerous to try to have a simple unified theory. I am now thinking that I could give very informative infos about the situation in Mali since I have had very direct experience since 2001.

Let's start with the fact that after 2001, we have witness a lot of military contractors in Northern Mali. They were US. USaid also settled there with their so called Peace Corps acting as efficient informants on locals without bringing any meaningful help to anybody in need. The guy in charge of the USAID program tried to co-opt me into... The scientology bullshit. He also told me, certainly to get me close to him, that 9/11 was an inside job. This must have been in 2003.

Later on, I met with French military officers who were there to gather information. They were very nice, clever, educated, well meaning guys with whom I have had very friendly conversations. They never tried to co-opt me understanding that a conspiracy minded talkative Rasta wouldn't be a good recruit and instead chose that friendly relationship. I couldn't get much info from them, they were pro, not the guys France sent later on who were not at that level. The best information gathering on a particular region can only be done by non psychopathic individuals who can have a subtle look on things.

I might tell you more later on... Meanwhile, take good care of you in Belarus.

The USAID guy told me word by word: "9/11 was an inside job and now, they are going to dumb down the people with the global medias... To you know how to protect yourself? Do you know scientology?.."

In my opinion (and please correct me if I am wrong), France was seen in a good light before Libya. When France helped destroy Libya, then I believe the French leadership role in Africa turned back towards exploitation.

US AID was in Belarus until recently kicked out after August 2020 election. US AID always goes into a country as a wolf in sheep clothing. Then after a while, the disguise wears thin and US AID wears OUT their initial welcome of free "aid". Would be so nice if EVERY country retained their sovereignty.

Yes, mutual respect pays dividends in friendship even during differences in opinion.

Hello,

you wrote, "In my opinion (and please correct me if I am wrong), France was seen in a good light before Libya. "

Seen in a good light by whom?

Do you know anything about the Ivory Coast history? Have you heard about the removal of Laurent Gbagbo to install Ouatara the then ex number two of IMF in the disputed local elections? Ivory Coast is the most profitable ex French colony. Of course one would also consider Niger where AREVA gets most of it's uranium...

Expand full comment

Thanks for correcting me. I did NOT know about France's nefarious role in the Ivory Coast. That makes sense since France exploited Africa and many other places like Martinique in the Caribbean for hundreds of years. Nothing has changed. I believe France and Italy joining NATO to destroy Libya was a covert and overt operation to destroy Libya's idea of an Africa common currency backed by their gold and valuable resources. The Euro is backed by nothing except for intimidation and coercion.

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.

Yes, the russian nazis from PMC WAGNER has the right to rape, kill, behead, torture civilians, and to be proud of being nazis as shown on their tatoos. But why does Russia, their employer, says to intervene in Ukraine "to fight Ukro-nazis"?

That's what I don't understand...but I'm sure you will explain..

The more I read about Wagner, the more it looks like the other 'soldiers of fortune' outlook. I still don't see why they should be called "Nazis". They are not nationally or ethnically oriented, even less Socialists. They work for whoever pay them...

I should have given the title of the video I posted earlier: "Bob Denard, the white sultan of the Comores Islands".

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).

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/03/23/russia-putin-adviser-chubais/

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.
