行動主義者s say that going after the oligarchs is tantamount to going after Putin.

"Vladimir Putin keeps all his money with the oligarchs," said William Browder, a U.S.-born and London-based financier and human 権利s 行動主義者 who was once a major 投資家 in Russia but ran afoul of the 政府 in the late 2000s.

"And this is a very 効果的な psychological 戦争, to start 掴むing ヨットs. I think it´s demoralizing for the oligarchs, and it´s demoralizing for Vladimir Putin.

And so it´s a bad image to have one of his best friends' ヨット 掴むd in the south of フラン,´´ Browder said.
