Some of the world's richest oligarchs, including Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven, are returning to Russia due to sanctions and an uncertain future. Moscow is using capital controls to punish Western companies. Fridman fled London via Israel, unhappy with life as a sanctioned businessman in Britain. Aven may also have to return from Latvia where authorities are threatening to revoke his passport. President Vladimir Putin believes the economic situation in Russia is stable despite Western sanctions.
Putin is not affected by the new sanctions on goods supplied to Russia: "less garbage" and no bed bugs The President of Russia called the idea of banning the delivery of screwdrivers and other small goods to the country absurd. https://t.co/KQcFX4Vo80
Shed a tear for billionaires Mikhail Fridman & Petr Aven, whose failure to rehabilitate themselves & get sanctions relief (RIP, Volkov’s reputation) has them calling their UK investments “a mistake.” Fridman is back in Moscow, & Aven could get booted from Latvia. Ah, Motherland!

Squeezed by sanctions, some of the world's richest oligarchs now feel they have no choice but to return home to Vladimir Putin's Russia — and an uncertain future https://t.co/Rc1pJnpV1O
Retreat of Russian oligarchs Fridman and Aven back to Moscow is a milestone for the history of Russia's attempts to get its capital accepted in the West. No one needs their investments. Some things simply can't be bought with money. Money smells - and Russian money smells bad.
Mikhail Fridman has fled to Moscow from London via Israel, bitterly unhappy with life as a sanctioned businessman in Britain. And Petr Aven may also have to weigh a return to Russia from Latvia, where authorities are threatening to revoke his passport. https://t.co/x7zwXySFKj

'Moscow is using the embers of the rouble crash mania that took hold at the end of the summer to simply punish Western companies.' @philippilk suggests there's more to Russia's capital controls than meets the eye 👇 https://t.co/4NlcUwnb4z
