By all means?

Some publications published on Monday claim that the Kremlin has given direct instructions to law enforcement agencies to go to the end in investigating corruption cases, stopping neither in the face of big names of those involved, nor in the shocking volumes of corruption transactions. It seems that this is precisely the approach that the events of the last month indicate - it seems that this time an anti-corruption net has been thrown that will drag out the entire catch into the daylight. Here is the case of Oboronservis, and the case of the Glonass system, and the case of Rosagroleasing... True, the heads of these departments have only just been dismissed. But there is still a feeling that some of them will not be able to avoid criminal prosecution.

And, nevertheless, it does not leave the feeling of a pre-planned campaign. Perhaps, indeed, the investigators received carte blanche to develop certain areas, and the level of corruption in today's Russia is such that, no matter where you scoop it up, you can catch a goldfish everywhere. But we can hardly expect revelations in the leader’s inner circle. Since this entire campaign was undoubtedly initiated by Putin, who is thus trying to correct his shaky image.

It’s a risky move - but how can the people, learning details about corruption in the highest echelons of power, refuse to believe that the one who stands at the very top of the pyramid he himself built was not involved in the plunder of the country?
