I'd like to think that there were 3 stages of Russian capitalism:
1) Wild capitalism where everybody wanted to steal. It ended about 2000.
2) The bureaucratic system where the task to sell Russia and transfer money to USA was a priority, and Putin being not an absolute dictator would give bureaucracy a limited right to steal in exchange to loyalty. It ended with Magnitsky affair when USA gave a clear signal that Russians will not be allowed to incorporate their money to the Western economy. We Russians should be thankful to USA for this signal.
3) The bureaucratic system with the task to entrench itself in Russia.
It has been successfully shown that ALL so called "corruption fighters" are not independent entities. All they have got some money from Uncle Sam. They may be innocent old women that fight the corrupt local major and don't know who helps them with some petty money but all these transactions are traced to Uncle Sam.
And the last; Ukraine. It was NOT Russia who began a Donbass war. It was a local Russian movement that falsely believed that Russia will do for them what she did for Crimeans. And Putin possibly had not enough balls to help them with anything except humanitarian convoys. (My opinion is that Putin simply waits the USA-induced transformation of Ukraine goes to the logical end. It's his style).
