It is interesting, but where will the Russian oligarchs drop their foreign capitals? ..
The repatriation of foreign funds of domestic oligarchs, which was so much expected by the Russian government in connection with US sanctions, was not justified. Target Eurobonds that were issued by the Russian Ministry of Finance were not acquired by the structures of any significant oligarchic person (according to the Bloomberg news agency).
The problem of protecting savings, or the Rich cry at all without options
Why did the oligarchs withdraw their capital from our jurisdiction? After all, like cheese in oil rolled - all the country took a turn, so do not - they still overseas give it with its financial infrastructure. This is who, Mr. Alekperov, could say a word across? No one. Not then, not now. Yes, and Mikhail Borisovich - too. Why, then, withdraw money from the state, where their investment is obviously capable of yielding as much as a big dividend than stowing stashes under offshore mattresses?
The point is the toxicity of the environment - legal and economic. Yes, the oligarchs of the 90s were a full-fledged "semiboyar" with all the attributes of state power. However, no matter how broad the spheres of interests of macro-businessmen were and the control over the accompanying administrative processes is not deep, you still can not control everything. And in public policy with its intrigues and changeability in general, any control is only ephemeral. This factor, coupled with an extremely low culture of doing business by competitors (when everything is possible, up to contract killings) forms a colossal hole into which at any time the hostile waters of the power collision can pour in, including with the participation of government agencies.
If only such an oligarch were to be in disgrace for the official authorities, how he almost immediately lost all his high-yielding investments in his homeland. And if he did not have enough liquidity behind the cordon, then such an ex-oligarch could easily lose everything, including freedom and life.
The golden rule of the investor: keep 70% of your capital in conservative assets with a minimum risk share. And only 30% - in high-yield, but risky instruments.
Existence in the Russian Federation for the oligarchs (and, in general, people with money) is the same risk zone, which should account for 30% of the capital employed. It is possible and less. Only this approach guarantees financial stability. And dividends from investments of 70%, as you know, have a secondary, if not a third-rate importance. Here the game is big: the main thing is to have liquidity, not to lose most of the available funds.
And we must pay tribute to that, with respect to those oligarchs who survived the Yeltsin's "freemen" and the building of the power vertical, this approach justified itself. Yes, there, continues to respectfully justify.

Where will the Russian oligarchs lose their capital?
"The prospect of keeping in the homeland frightens billionaires more than the risks of getting under the sanctions regime," Kirill Tremasov, head of the analytical department of Loco Invest, says. A thousand times true! After all, if you recklessly aggregate your capital within the country, then they can easily replenish the assets of some other Colonel Zakharchenko. And what, here and legal culture in suit, and the sizes of borders in the order beat ...
American sanctions, or Nuisances
Yes, there was a thunder. It is very interesting to the Jedi from the Washington regional committee to become what kind of caches of the Russian oligarchic elite were formed on the territories under the jurisdiction of the large dollar. No, there the uncles were not that greedy (although not without this, of course), but more than others they were burning with the idea of whether this Russian ailment could be turned to its own advantage. But then the hedgehog understand that you can:
... The greed does not need a knife -
You'll show him a copper penny
And do with it that you want!

So: we block assets in all possible ways - from blocking in bank accounts to setting encumbrances on real estate, and then one by one into the cabinet we start, where representatives of large Russian business will receive ultimatums with clear instructions regarding their emerging interests and "correct" behavior .
It is not true that the assets are firmly covered by a veil of bank secrecy - in the modern world it is almost impossible to hide. The planet is crammed with electronic tracking systems with the function of intelligent recognition and verification that human faces that bank accounts.
Theoretically, even now in the world there would be a rustling rustle of Russian oligarchs' assets that are transforming in the democratic West, changing jurisdictions, names of account holders and home ports (for yachts). So it, perhaps, is. There is only one small but fundamental problem - replacing an awl with soap leads exclusively to transactional costs, but not to solving the problem. The system is kept, and it is still controlled by the Jedi
