Washington wants to go back to the “glory” days, and Navalny is likely the last person DC can get to return their calls. The clowns have been rounded up or are in the West, and “reformers” of any stripe likely aren’t as enamored of the West as Russians once were. Even if the crooks toppled Putin, how long would they last, a week? Genuine reformers are likely under no illusions.

The post is subscriber-only so I couldn’t read it, but Chichvarkin is a former owner of a network of shops selling mobile phones and accessories. By the standards of Russian billionaires he’s definitely a small fish. I find it highly unlikely that he has any connection with past of future privatisation of anything.
