Record asset seizure: Authorities confiscated $7.6 billion in holdings tied to Vadim Moshkovich, the largest nationalization in recent years.
Part of wider campaign: The Kremlin has transferred an estimated $89.7 billion in private assets to state control since the Ukraine war began.
Elite on alert: Billionaires are showing loyalty to avoid similar fates, with some making large voluntary contributions to the state budget.


Taxing billionaires is never theft. Nobody in human history has ever created a billion dollars of value, therefore the wealth was stolen from the people to begin with.
