Abstract

The author was the largest foreign investor in Russia, through his investment fund Hermitage Capital, capitalizing on imperfections in the Russian economy due to non-rational, at times even illegal moves by oligarchs and members of government. When such moves became exposed, there were inevitable reactions from the Russian government, perhaps even sanctioned by Mr. Putin himself. Not only was Mr. Browder expelled from Russia, but also some of his closest allies were put in prison, some even tortured to death. Russian courts ruled against Hermitage and Mr. Browder, dishing out huge fines based on false, fabricated evidence. Lack of predictability seems to be at the center of all of this. Humiliation of those perceived as threatening is also present. There is much brutality. Mr. Putin seems to be squarely behind it all.
