I remember watching an investigative report about Sochi and how Putin effectively hired an entire entourage from his cronies list and received (probably) hundreds of millions of dollars in kick backs as a result (though of course nobody knows how much for sure). He has shell companies operating throughout all levels of the Russian state and military.
And he has approval ratings nearing 90%. If Trump wants a lesson on how you get your populace to turn a blind eye to even the most blatant and flagrant corruption and nepotism, no wonder he wants to be a fan of Putin and the oligarchs.
It's easy to have 90% approval rating when those who don't approve of you tend to get mysteriously shot dead or poisoned.
