Targeting Putin’s Wallets: Exploring the Impact of Sanctions on Russian Oligarchs
Channel: New America
Date: 2022-04-07

Russia’s oligarchs emerged from the chaos of the 1990s entrenched atop former state enterprises and, in the years since, have continued to dominate the country’s economy. At the same time, they funneled billions in wealth into offshore real estate, bank accounts, and luxury goods—wealth that may now prove vulnerable to Western authorities.

Join New America and the Atlantic Council’s Geo-economics Center for a panel to discuss how the financial crackdown will affect Russia’s economic titans and the places they have secreted their wealth.
