I recently did an interview with Karen Dawisha, author of Putin's Kleptocracy, who noted that part of what we're seeing now is Putin trying to maintain authority over this "inner group," many of whom have been with him for decades. As that group has grown, keeping them placated has become more and more difficult. Do you think we're near a breaking point in the kleptocracy — if there is one? And what can we expect if there is a disintegration of Putin's inner circle?

Hi Bill,
I recently did an interview with Karen Dawisha, author of Putin's Kleptocracy, who noted that part of what we're seeing now is Putin trying to maintain authority over this "inner group," many of whom have been with him for decades. As that group has grown, keeping them placated has become more and more difficult. Do you think we're near a breaking point in the kleptocracy — if there is one? And what can we expect if there is a disintegration of Putin's inner circle?
