Gee, Stanley, why are you still making excuses for the failed Socialist/Marxist
Soviet system? You can't polish horse shit and that is what you are trying to
do.

The USSR didn't collapse, it was a super power at that time created by
the socialist system still recovering from WW2 and struggling under the
cold war building weapons of mass destruction. Consequently there was
non ending rationing of consumer goods and long lines which the USA
didn't have because we weren't a battlefield like they had been. There was
a vote by the sheeple jealous new generation which threw it all away and
the whole country suffered and turned to vodka and been sorry ever since.
Especially since Putin called it the worst mistake of the 20th century.

When the Soviet Union collapsed everything was up for grabs. Putin was one of
the oligarchs who divided up the assets that belonged to the communist
government.
At least he didn't get rich by selling out his country like the Clintons did.

Subject: [sparkscoffee] Putin's Net Worth
I see why Trump buddies up to Putin, nice to have wealthy friends
in high places.
Not to shabby for a poor kid whose mother was a factory worker and his
father was a conscript in the Soviet Navy.
The latest estimate of Putin's absurd wealth comes from Bill Browder, a
former fund manager in Russia who is now one
of the Russian president's fiercest critics on the world stage. Browder
recently published a book that detailed the tragic
story of how a financial crime in Putin's Russia resulted in the
imprisonment and death of Browder's firm's tax lawyer,
Sergei Magnitsky. Browder was on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS" to talk
about the book last weekend when he threw out
an incredible estimate of Putin's net worth.
“I believe that [Putin is worth] $200 billion," Browder said. "After 14
years in power of Russia, and the amount of money
that the country has made, and the amount of money that hasn't been
spent on schools and roads and hospitals and so on,
all that money is in property, bank, Swiss bank accounts, shares, hedge
funds, managed for Putin and his cronies.”
Officially, Vladimir Putin’s net worth is thought to be around $70
billion according to Forbes,
which makes the Russian the second-richest man in the world since Bill
Gates’ net worth is $79.3 billion in 2015.
Putin’s salary was previously nine million rubles, or $145,000, per
year, whereas U.S. President Barack Obama earns
$400,000 per year. At the same time, the average salary in Russia is
estimated at $17,230, while the U.S. median
household income was $51,939 in 2013.
