   More and more ultra-rich Russians are leaving their country. They go on   
   vacation and stay on vacation. Their children go to schools in the West, and   
   these ultra-rich Russians try to get as much of their wealth as possible   
   outside Russia.   
      
   I don't blame them. The number of influential Russians who have fallen from   
   windows in recent years is enormous. And these are just the cases we've   
   noticed in the West.   
      
   As a wealthy Russian, you certainly realize that there's no way to earn a   
   living in Russia right now. So why stay?   
      
   You use your influence to get your capital in cash and you send it to more   
   pleasant places.   
      
   Just don't get picked off at the border, because then you're in trouble.   
      
   Putin isn't keen on them leaving. Putin is therefore trying to keep up the   
   pressure and threatens to confiscate their assets... Which only increases the   
   pressure on others to leave. After all, why wouldn't I be the next to lose my   
   home and hearth, and perhaps even my life? Confidence in Putin is gone. The   
   deal he made with the ultra-rich Russians is off the table; it's every man for   
   himself now.   
      
   Things aren't going well in Russia; that much is already very clear.
