    I hope all American Oligarchs watch every window victim with wide eyes. This is the future you are funding with Trump.

      No no no. It will never happen to me. I am one of the smart oligarchs/good immigrants. He will just murder/deport the others.

      Russian oligarch dies peacefully in his sleep of old age.

      Mikhail Roguchev died peacefully in his sleep last Thursday evening surrounded by his family and the heavy iron chains he had fashioned to keep him from being thrown through a window…

    It’s barely even funny at this point.

    Although I’d quibble about Newsweek defining this guy as an oligarch. He was vice president at a company that was disbanded due the company president’s opposition to Putin. It’s very possible this guy is just a former executive that refused to bend or hand over some dirt or something. It doesn’t appear he fits the definition of oligarch at all.

    Unless we’re just using the word to refer to all Russians above peasant.

      It’s the wholesale murder of political enemies to consolidate power by an autocrat.

      I don’t think it was ever “funny”.

        Putin has been in power for 25 years. He arguably has more enemies than anyone else on the planet. I’d say the deterrent factor is pretty strong with this one.

        It’s not perfect though. When you’re destroying your own country with the most disastrous war in living memory then you need stronger deterrents.
