Bill Browder: The future of Russia after the war

At Spear's 500 Live, private client professionals - from wealth management, philanthropy, luxury, law and property - gathered at The Savoy to share insight, strengthen networks and hone their understanding of the forces that shape the lives of ultra-high-net-worth clients.
Spear's Editor-in-Chief Edwin Smith was joined by Bill Browder, CEO of Hermitage Capital Management - previously the largest foreign investor in Russia until 2005.
Browder spoke to the 500+ audience about his first-hand experiences uncovering corruption and money laundering in Russia; and the tragic death of his lawyer Sergei Magnitsky and his campaign in Sergei's name.

Watching the two speakers is educational. It provides a sharp illustration, between on the one hand a professional individual who speaks from experience, competence and the highly risky management of both his professional and his personal life stages; and on the other hand an ideologist who has little to offer, sticks to the weak rationalisation of his opportunistic opposition to the Western support of an invaded independent country, and has little (if anything) to say on the merits of his supposedly humanitarian support of Russia. We do know who’s credible and worthwhile listening to.

It’s always easy to know what is right and what is wrong. People that have too much reverence for money are the ones that have a hard time doing the right thing. In the year 2000 I was running a construction company that I started in 1986. I turned in a person at a hospital that was demanding kickbacks. I had to wear a wire with LAPD recoding the payoffs as I made them at a restaurant I ultimately even had to testify in front of a grand jury. It was scary as I also had my life threatened and as happens to whistleblowers my company was punished by the very hospital we helped. We were not asked to bid work for 5 years. However, I’m glad I did the right thing as my 9 year old son saw the whole thing. My wife later told that if I had cheated with another woman she might have forgiven me but would surely have divorced me if I had gotten involved in the kickback scheme.

Mr. Browder's long history with finance, Russia and Russia's endemic corruption gives him a unique, detailed perspective on Putin, the oligarchs, sanctions, and proper responses to Putin's war. His efforts to pass the Magnitsky act formed a good baseline for the much more extensive sanctions following the invasion of Ukraine. The most disturbing comment was that about trump, It was bad enough when trump won the 2016 presidency through electoral gerrymandering.

I live in Austria and always get annoyed when people confronted with Ukraine bring up Iraq. Can't they really see the difference? The US conducted precision attacks on key areas and the actual war was over in a month or so. They did their best to avoid civilian casualties, as far as I know. Yes, the invasion was a mistake and they got into a quagmire with many victims and people kept fighting and dying for years to come, which is sad and terrible, but Russia is committing crimes against humanity in Ukraine, targeting civilians on a massive scale and committing atrocities, destroying nature and risking a nuclear catastrophe. The crimes committed in Iraq were exposed by US journalists and people were free to express their criticism from the beginning, while in Russia teenagers got beaten up by the police when protesting and now people risk years long jail sentences even for calling it a war.

Summary: Bill Browder, a former investor in Russia, discusses the future of the country after recent events. He highlights the vulnerability of Vladimir Putin's regime following a coup attempt and the ease with which a group of mercenaries took over cities without resistance. Browder believes that Putin's grip on power may weaken, leading to potential disintegration or a ruthless purge. He emphasizes that Russia despises weakness and respects strength. Browder's current focus is on two main activities: advocating for the release of Russian opposition activist Vladimir Kara-Murza and campaigning to change the law to use frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine. He argues that sanctions have been effective in pressuring Putin and weakening Russia financially, although there are concerns about unintended consequences. Highlights: 💣 Recent coup attempt in Russia is a significant blow to Vladimir Putin's regime, undermining his image of strength and instilling fear among the populace. 💰 Bill Browder is campaigning for the release of Russian activist Vladimir Kara-Murza and advocating for changing the law to use frozen Russian assets for rebuilding Ukraine. 🌍 Sanctions, such as the Magnitsky Act, have been instrumental in pressuring Putin and freezing Russian assets, impacting oligarchs and limiting Russia's access to international capital markets. 🛢 Browder suggests banning oil imports from Russia to further financially weaken Putin and bring an end to the war in Ukraine. ❌ Browder rejects the argument that sanctions will push Russia towards alternative currencies or drive global South countries to cooperate against the West. 🌐 Developed economies have shown unprecedented cooperation in imposing sanctions on Russia, contrary to previous individualistic economic interests.

Bill Browder knows more about this stuff than just about anyone and to anyone reading this, I highly recommend both of his books 'Red Notice' and 'Freezing Order' (starting with Red Notice). Both read like real-life spy thrillers and offer an exceptional view into the brutal nature of Putin's criminal regime told from the perspective of Putin's #1 most hated enemy, Mr. Bill Browder.

In fairness, I'd bet more than $1 that the dudes in that armored rush that apparently got as far as Lipinsk within 36 hrs were what's left of the core Wagner people. Ex Spetsnaz, VDV when they got actual training, ex GRU etc

[@alexbort3082]

I accept the bet because there is no such place as Lipinsk in Russia

It’s so funny to see how the comment-trolls come out of the woodwork for any Bill Browder videos. Like, they come out hard.

[@djape1977]

Its incredible how CIA shills cane out in force to support this hypocrite 😊

Билл Браудер мужественен пока спит, а как просыпается так сразу страхи приходят.

[@user-qb3ig1qg1s]

I’ll wait to see.

You can almost sense the fog of shame in the room. Never mind, it’s all offshore now, so it can’t be touched.
