To date, the West has done "very, very little" in the matter of personal sanctions against people from the environment of the President of the Russian Federation; The number of authorized persons could be increased to 10-20 thousand people.

This opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by the Russian financier and blogger Slava Rabinovich.

"Personal sanctions are extremely painful. And I think that very little has been done in this respect, "he said..

"If the Western countries included in the sanctions lists initially 2,000 people from Putin's entourage, and every month that Putin's aggression against Ukraine continued, these personal sanctions lists would be increased by another 200 people from Putin's environment, until they filled up to 10-20 thousand people , Then this would be an effective measure, "the financier.

"I think that 10-20 thousand authorized people would probably find a way to arrange a palace coup and liquidate their pahan," he said..

The "observer" asked: why is the issue of personal sanctions against people from Putin's entourage discussed all the time, but not against Putin himself.

"It is better to ask this question to international lawyers who, perhaps better than I, will explain the concept of official immunity or something else," Rabinovich said..

At the same time he added: "But I agree: personal sanctions against Putin should have been introduced long ago".

As the "Observer" wrote, Slava Rabinovich said earlier: collaborators of the Putin regime in Russia among artists - "legion"; In the conditions of the "fascist dictatorship" only a few are able to maintain a sound mind and civil position.
