Indeed. The entire point of taking the money out of Russia to get away from the lack of rule of law, etc..

How are a bunch of dumb 2nd generation oil pumper warlords going to protect your money longterm?

I think the idea is to transit your money through there to launder it. part of a internation shell company game. sure the money coming from businesses and companies there look shady but not enough to cause anyone to investigate it as enough powerful and politically connected people from multiple countries would not like it to be looked at.

Agreed. Maybe Dubai the least worst choice.
