  • “The idea that Russia has low tax rate is false. In addition to 20% VAT we pay mandatory 22% towards the government pension fund, 13% Income tax, 5.1% for compulsory medical insurance and 2.9% into Social Security fund. A total of 64%. Not included are crazy hight import taxes.”

  • “Государство и госкомпании контролируют 70% российской экономики The state and state-owned companies control 70% of the Russian economy”

• Corruption/extortion

  • “Have a look at this wonderful yacht called Scheherezade.”

  • “After Khodorkovsky’s conviction, the other oligarchs went to Putin and asked him what they needed to do to avoid sitting in the same cage as Khodorkovsky. From what followed, it appeared that Putin’s answer was, ‘50%’. He wasn’t saying 50% for the Russian government or the presidential administration of Russia, but 50% for Vladimir Putin personally.”
