By appointing his close associates as heads of state enterprises and by giving control of the FSB and the judiciary to his friends from the KGB, he has enriched his business friends from Saint Petersburg with preferential government deals. Thus, Putin has created a super wealthy and loyal plutocracy that owes its existence to authoritarianism. Much of this wealth has been hidden in offshore havens in the United States and the United Kingdom, where companies with anonymous owners and black money transfers are allowed to thrive. Though beneficial to a select few, this system has left Russia's economy in untenable stagnation, which Putin has tried to mask through military might. 606 $aCapitalism$zRussia (Federation)$2FBC 606 $aPolitical corruption$zRussia (Federation)$2FBC 606 $aHISTORY / Modern / 21st Century$2bisacsh 606 $aKapitalisme$2FBC 606 $aKorruption$2FBC 606 $aRusland$2FBC 615 7$aCapitalism 615 7$aPolitical corruption 615 7$aHISTORY / Modern / 21st Century. 615 7$aKapitalisme 615 7$aKorruption 615 7$aRusland 676 $a330.947 686 $2z 700 $aAslund$b Anders, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0556434 701 $aÅslund$b Anders$0556434 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810537703321 996 $aRussia's Crony Capitalism$94017069 997 $aUNINA
