Репост из: Khazar Dictionary
Vladimir Putin and Rosneft chief, Russian oligarch №1 Igor Sechin visited a historic Konevsky monastery in northwestern Russia that was restored by Rosneft.
The footage on federal TV was supposed not only to show the faith of Putin in Jesus Christ, but also to confirm Sechin’s status as Putin’s right hand man.
There are some allegations that this status has shattered a little bit, but Sechin is so powerful and runs so deep in the system of putinism and Russian corruption, that he has nothing to fear.
Sechin was instrumental in destroying Yukos and other cases that allowed Putin to tighten his grip on Russia. Oligarch №1 has tens of billions to lose and is preoccupied with securing his capitals and legally passing them to his heirs.
