I’ll believe it when I see it. Putin has always been in the business of saying correct things (i.e. about needed to advance healthcare and education) and then doing the opposite.
Frankly I expect consolidation of capital in the hands of few chosen. You know. Krupp Style.
I mean, this kind of does ruin the myth that its “the oligarchs” ruling Russia; all of Putin’s enemies in the financial elite have mysteriously disappeared of late; but power is most certainly not in the hands of the proletariat either. If Russia is to become fully fascist, or liberal, or communist, I suspect it will be after Putin dies.
