Russia’s Richest Man Brings Key Assets Back to Russia: Reports / Sputnik International

Russia's telecom and iron profits return to Russia.  Good move after Russian devaluation of almost fifty percent. Only can go up in value? How to double your personal wealth in days. I guess its time for Putin to do the same. Perhaps that has been the point of it all anyways? You place your money outside offshore, then create a ruckus inside the country to get devaluation, then buy double what's inside the country while in a good position to raise relative values once more by behaving. As oil prices rise and the rubble strengthens you  once again invest offshore. Then you attack the Ukraine once more. After doing this a few times you own 95 percent of Russia?
