Great comment.

Biggest mistake the West has made is thinking that soft power will work with Putin. He just doesn't care. Sanction some oligarchs and he still goes home to his palace like nothing ever happened.

There is also a mistaken view that oligarchs control what happens in Russia.

It's simply not true. He has enriched them not the other way around.
