Who are the people keeping Vladimir #Putin in power? Much is made of the #oligarchs and their billions of dollars. Their support has been vital to keeping Putin financed. But how is Putin's influence protected? This is now down to his Saint Petersburg friends: a collection of hard men who are in positions of power that they own to Putin. If Putin is to be deposed, or even more unlikely, democratically voted out of power, these "strongmen" will do everything to stop that.
